Priest Urges
More Schools
For Asia

TOKYO-(NC)-The establish
ment of a center for advanced
theological and philosophical
studies to serve the spiritual
needs of northwest Asia was
advocated by Father Paolo Dezza,
S.J., secretary of the Information
al Federation of Catholic Univer-
sites.
Father Dezza is visiting Catho-
lie educational institutions in sew
eral countries. A former rector
of the Gregorian University in
Rome, he is now a consultor of
the Sacred Congregation of Sem
inaries and Universities and pres
ident of Regina Mundi, Roman
Institute of Sacred Science.
THE most important aspect of
missionary projects is the work
of education, the work of schools
and universities" Father Dezza
said. '"The most helpful laymen
come from these institutions and
to these schools. Despite govern
ment hampering restrictions, peo-
pie continue to send their chill
dren, as in Ceylon, where crisis
now exists"
There are only three Catholic
centers for advanced theological
and philosophical studies in the
East--at Manila, Beirut in Leban-
on and Poona, India. Selected
seminarians and scholastics from
many dioceses and religious or
ders come to these to pursue &C.
cIesiastical studies.

Albuquerque
Celebrates
Peaceful History

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-NC)--
This city is marking $50 years
of unbroken peace. 1t was found
ed in an area which earlier had
known much hloodshed,
Blessed with two patron saints
at its founding in 1706, Albuquer-
que has known uninterrupted
tranquility since then. And this,
despite there having been many
nearby upheavals.
Father Angelica Chavez, O. r.
M, an authority on the history
of this locality, reports that at the
time this city was founded, the
Viceroy of New Spain with head
quarters in Mexico City, was Don
Francisco Fernandez de la Cuerva
9th Duke of Albuquerque. Learn
ing that the Viceroy planned to
christen the new villa" in New
Mexico, the then Governor of the
Kingdom of New Mexico, Don
Cuervo y Valdez, Jumped the
gun" and christened 1t himself.
Impulsively, or possibly to curry
favor at the viceregal court in
Mexico City, the Governor named
the new place Villa de San Fran
eixco yavier de AlhuuIJeruue.
But the viceroy, apparently had
thought to name the villa in hon.
or of King Philip of Spain. So ne
christened ii San Felipe de Al
buquerque. And he and the king
were commemorated together.
Thus the City of Albuquerque
came to have two patron saints,
st. Francis Xavier and st. Philip
Neri.

LATE AGAIN

The Air Force began converting to B-52 jet heavy
bombers in April This is another instance of the US
being behind the Russians.
The Russians already have more heavy jet bombers
than have, despite the fact that only few years ago
progress in the heavy bomber field thought to
be great that would remain ahead of the Russians
for some years to come.
The situation of today, however, is that we are
still depending B-36 bombers which are propelled
mainly by conventional type propellers, and just
now preparing to convert to B-52 heavy jets.
It will be several years before the complete con-
version will have been made All of which brings
around again to the words of Air Force Chief of Staff
Nathan Twining who recently pointed out in a speech
at The Citadel, in Charleston, Sc that the Russians
ahead of Tin numbers) in heavy jets jet fighters
and light bomberS.
There should be question of essening defense
expenditures when this is the case and the next ques
cn for the Air Force will probably be how much we
should increase Air Force appropriations
