OF Nazi
Foe OF Church
To Be Ordained

NGOLSTADT, Germany, -
On the desk of a seminarian
who will soon be ordained
stands a picture of the man who
was probably the bitterest foe
of the Church during the nazl
days or Germany.
The seminarian' is Brother
Martin who went through the
minor seminary here and is now
completing his studies at the
University of Innsbruck, Aus
tria.
The man whose picture he
treasures, is Martin Bormann,
Sri, his father and once the
dreaded chief of Hitler's Chan
Gerry in Berlin. Next to his pic
ture stands a wood-carved statue
of the Blessed Mother.
Word has been received here
that Brother Martin will be or.
dained in the Jesuit Church OF
Innsbruck on July 26. Thus the
son of the man who was chiefly
responsible for the cruel per-
secution of the Church in Ger.
many during the Hitler period,
will atone for his father by de.
dicating his whole life to the
missions of Christianity.
The Missionaries Of the Sac
red Heart Of Jesus to which
he now belongs, will assign
him TO q station in Belgian
Congo soon after ordination. /.
Brother Martin does not know
what happened 70 his father
Some say he lost his life in May
1915, while the fierce battle Of
Berlin was raging. Others claim
he managed to escape and now
lives incognito somewhere over
seas. He was sentenced to dealt
by the war crimes tribunal IL
Nuremberg in absentia. At an!
'mlrate, Brother Martin prays fol
Ibis father every day. He pray!
for his conversion and for The
peace of his soul.
Brother Martin was born II
the suburb of GruenWald neal
Munich on April IA, 1880, ant
Hitler was his godfather, al
he was godfather to- the frs
boys of all his chieftains. Mar
Tin was educated in an "ordel
castle" reserved to the nazi elit'
and thoroughly imbued will
nazi ideas.
Then came the collapse. A1oni
with others who were on TIT
Allied search list, he escaped
into the mountains and event
ually found refuge in a Catho
lie farmers family in the neigh
boring Tyrol.
There, under the influence o
his hosts who were good, piou'
people, and under the impac
of the tragedy he had witnessed
in his own country, he found hi
way to the Faith and became |
catholic.

know about our programs, our

The Archbishop rejected to-
tally any duplication that Amer
lean Catholics are anti-intellec-
tual. There are obvious his
torical reasons why the intellec-
tual leaders of the past genera
tions in America have not been
Catholics, he asserted, but this
can in no way be tied to anti
intellectualism.
"H you look at the roster
Of boards Of directors OF great
corporations or Of leaders in
other fields" Archbishop Al
ter said. "yoU will find that
they are predominantIy per-
sons whose great-grand par.
ents were born in this eoun-

Referring to the single hant
raised among his listeners wher
asked whose great-grandparent'

said there are few Catholic

to grow with Delaware and con-
tinue its program of service i'm
provements. Reviewing improve
ments made in recent years, he
pointed out that Delaware, first
all-dial state in the nation, has
had 100 percent dial-operated
telephone service since 1850 and
has provided more individual
lines, and reduced the number
of party lines and the number
of customers on rural lines. This
program will be continued.
Nearly 80 percent of all out-of-
town calls are now dialed di-
rect by operators or by custom
ers and direct dialing of long
distance calls by customers to
further speed customers calls
will be provided in more Della
ware central office areas within
the next few years" Rose said.
"In many instances in the re-
cent past, toll charges have
been eliminated between neigh
boring communities. Further eX-
tensions of local calling areas
are planned in l3 exchanges, in
Guiding free calling between
Wilmington and Newark, if the
company's financial position is
improved as contemplated by
these proposed rates" He en-
phasized the point that the
"hours of work required to pay
an average telephone bill had
gone down 38 percent since
1910 and vast improvements
had been made in the service.
On the other hand the invest
ment behind each telephone
added in 1857 was more than
$3.50, while the average of those
already in service was less than
$500. "We must raise our
prices as non-regulated busi-
nesses have been forced to dc"
Rose added. "We must have
earnings that enable us to help
meet expansion requirements
and to attract the investment
capital we urgently need to
keep pace with the rapid resi-
Dental and industrial growth of
Delaware. The rate adjustment
at this time is both necessary
and in the public interest,"" he
said.
