POPE Plus XII

POPE Plus XII was one Of the most active and in
auential Popes the Roman Catholic Church ever had.
He was known as the Pope of Peace, and throughout his
long and useful life made an indelible impression not
only on the spiritual life Of the four hundred million
Catholics, but upon the secular affairs of his time. His
passing therefore was mourned by all outside the Iron
Curtain.
POPE Plus XII was a remarkable man. He was
man Of high intellect, a gifted diplomat, humanitarian,
and as such understood, and suffered with, the unfortu-
nate Of the earth. During his 10 years on the throne he
granted audiences to more visitors-19 milion-than
any other Pope. Added to his many gifts was that of
skillful administration.
THOUGH HE WAS the Pope Of Peace he was
soon to clash with PHILOSOPHERS and idealogies which ran
counter to free thought and action. Not long after the
Pope assembled the throne World War II broke out, and
Nazi legions entered Rome. He learned then that religious
freedom was in peril, and that if dictatorship won, the
church and its world would be doomed, or at least SO set
back as to curtail its effectiveness as wholesome force
in the lives of men.
BORN EUGENIO PACELM on March 2, 1876, in
Rome, the Pontiff early turned to the Church, being
ordained a priest in $780, He was among the most wide
~ travelled d~ignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church
TO become Pope, and the only one to have visited the
United States, which he did in 1886 as Papal Secretary
of State.
ALREADY or THEIR way to Rome are members Of
the College of Cardinals who will elect Pope Plus Kits
successor. A majority Of two-thirds, plus one is requir-

the election, though balloting is in secret. From a near

smoke is dark, then the balloting continues. White

Worker Groups

BERLIN, Mar. 8 (R.-Com-
munist East Germany sounded
the death knell today for
workers committees estab-
Ilished in 1856 to pacify rest
less factory workers.
Neues Dutschland, the official
Communist Party newspaper,
said leaders of East Germany's
Communist dominated trade
unions, plus representatives of
IS workers committees, have
recommended that the commit
tees be abolished.
Western observers had little
doubt that the Recommended
ton" was carefully stage
managed by East Germany's
top leadership. which never was
"a great friend of the commit
tees.
The committees were intro
duced Immediately after the
late 1856 Polish and Hungarian
upheavals. There were signs
that East Germany might also
erupt into anti-Soviet violence.
Similar workers councils set
up by Hungarian rebels were
abolished by the Hungarian
government last November.
The German committees were
supposed to be somewhat sim
liar to those in Yugoslavia,
where workers committees &C.
tually had a voice In the run
ming Of factories.
But in East Germany. Stain
list Party Boss Walter Ulbricht
made certain that the workers
committees were never anything
more than advisory bodies with
no power.
