Pope Urges Catholics
Church Missions

authentic and profound spiritu-
al interests of humanity"
Many mission Ian is, he said,
face problems that are mot
free of peril" inasmIch as they
seek solutions that either take
no account of or actually con-
tradict religious interests of in
dividuals and peoples"
In some mission areas, he
went on, Christian communi-
ties are suffering hardships
and persecution, even bloody
ones" The Pope exhorted
clergy and faithful in such
areas to "persevere in their
holy battle"
Native Priests Increase
Turning his attention to mis-
sion achievements, Pope John
said that from 1918 to 1857,
the number of native priests
in Asia increased by 4,634 to
a total of $3.50, and in Africa
by 1.721 to a total of 1911,
These figures, he said, do not
include areas that have fallen
under Communist domination
The first Asian bishop was
consecrated only 26 years age
and the Vatican's first apostol-
ic Wears to Africa were named
20 years ago. Today Pope John
said there are SO native bishops
in Asia and Is in Africa.
The encyclical was issued
concurrently with a papal de-
cree establishing an Episcopal
hierarchy in territories of the
Belgian Congo and Ruandi-
Urundi. This was divided into
eight ecclesiastical provinces
of which the most important is
the Archdiocese of Leopold
vile.

and insisted on release of the
captive, but the Chinese re-

After two further visits BY
police, the Chinese released
Sergt. Armstrong at 1:50 pm.
There were rope burns on his
neck and back. He later was
taken to a hospital, where his
injuries were found to be
superficial.

Floods in Cyrenoico
Uncover Romon Relics

TRIPOLI, Libya, Nov. %
(AP).-Relics of Roman occu-
patton have been uncovered by
recent floods in the Gebel Akh-
dar region of Cyrenaica.
Heavy rains near Beda ex-
posed a small section Of a COL
umn. Subsequent excavation
revealed the remains Of four
Roman milestones.
The earliest milestone was
erected in rs A. D. during the
reign of Emperor VeSpaSian.
Its inscription records that the
road was then repaired by Pro-
consul Lucius Minicius Rufus.
The column, about 6 feet tall,
is inscribed in Latin and Greek,

Mr.. Chang was escorted to
the beach cottage, rented by
members Of the consulate staff,
because a Thanksgiving party
was being held at the consulate
that night.
Mr.. Chang was questioned
about his background.
"Since he had indicated
alarm about his personal safety
at the hands of his colleagues,
he was also questioned as to the
possibility and methods of their
knowing his whereabouts and
other security points," the
American statement said.
All this was openly recorded
on a tape recorder with Mr..
Chang's consent. At midnight
the vice consul returned to
Bombay.
The next morning Sergt.
Armstrong saw Mr.. Chang
walking away from the cottage.
Mr.. Chang told Mr.. Armstrong
to come along. He said he had
left an important key at the
American Consulate and want
ed to return there to recover it,.
Mr.. Chang carried the tape re-
cording.
Caught Ride in Truck
The two caught a ride in a
passing truck.
After several minutes,
Chang spotted a parked taxi
and stopped the truck" the
statement said. "Chang and
Armstrong both jumped down
and entered the taxi, which was
directed to proceed to the
American Consulate.
/ However, as the cab was
about to turn into the entrance,
Chang objected. The cab went
past the American Consulate
and pulled up a few yards from
the gateway Of the Chinese
Communist compound"
Sergt. Armstrong was report
ed to have tried unsuccessfully
to regain the tape recording
which Mr.. Chang had taken
from the cottage.
Chang began to leave the
cab and pushed Armstrong in
an attempt to prevent him from
leaving" the statement said.
Chang shouted to his country
men inside the compound. At
least six of them came out and
surrounded the cab"
Struck in Ribs
After a struggle they dragged
the Marine into the compound,
striking him in the ribs with
their fists"
The account added these de-
tails:
Sergt. Armstrong was tied
around the arms and neck and
lashed to a pillar in a garage.
The Chinese dropped a bamboo
curtain when they realized
neighbors were looking in.
Sergt. Armstrong remained
bound to the post for some
time and then was interrogated
briefly by the Chinese.

Communists Ask
Social Democrats
To Join Forces

MOSCOW, Nov. % CAP) -
An appeal to European Social
Democratic (Socialist) Parties
to join Communists in a united
front was made today by Kom-
munist,. magazine of the Com
munist Party Central Commit
tee of the Soviet Union.
The magazine said the Social
Democratic parties of Europe
are suffering a steady decline
in voter appeal because they
support rightist elements in
stead of policies favored by
European Communist parties in
support of the Soviet Union
The magazine continued:
"The whole postwar expert
ence Of the working movement
teaches that the way for
strengthening positions of the
proletariat is in joint actions OF
Communist, Socialist and other
units of the working movement
The Communists have Their
own theology, but it doesn't
mean that cooperation between
Communists and Socialists /.
impossible.
IF all units of the working
class - Communists, Socialists
trade union members and mem
bers Of other organizations
had come forward as a united
front, they could have achieved
a number Of tasks: Peace, dis
armament and conditions fol
peaceful coexistence."
The magazine said Socialists
fought alongside Communists
against fascism during World
War II. but "soon afterward
the top of social democracy
turned sharply to the right, &C
lively assisting the reaction in
realizing their plans of throw
ing the Communists out of gov
ernmentS of Western European
countries"

alone this year.
The Kikuyu, who educated
more than 10000 children. are
pressuring for more schools,
more students. Political agits-
ton is insistent that the rich
white highlands be opened TO
the African.
Mboya and most of his fellow
leaders are relatively moderate
but the fear of a recurrence of
Mau Mau forces the settler
community, and beyond them,
the British Foreign Office, to
yield more each year.
Mau Mau Defeat Analyzed
It is agreed today that Mau
Mau was defeated primarily be-
cause it provoked opposition in
the African community itself.
The turning point seems to have
been a Mau Mau massacre Of
villagers at Lari. This created
such a division in the Kikuyu
that the British were able to
recruit sizable home guard
forces from among them.
1t was the home guard, more
than anyone else, that put
down the uprising, which
started in 1852 and did not
end until three years ago. The
cost? The lives of 80 whites.
26 Asians and 1872 African
Negroes-all killed by Mau Mau
terrorists.
In the counteroffensive bv
British and, ultimately, by
the home guard, l0,354 were
killed in battle, 10000 alleged
sympathizers were put in de.
tention camps, 1,068 were exc
cuted and hundreds of thou
sands were uprooted to
emergency villages where the
government could keep an eye
on them.

The population of the Dis
trict now is So per cent Negro,
the report observes. The young
married white population is en-
gagged in the flight to the
suburbs" it says.
Racial Bias Hit
Racial bias on the part of
employers and unions and in:
adequate vocational training
and counseling in the schools
aggravate the special employ
ment problems Washington
presents as a city without heavy
industry, the report observes.
The committee urges that
vocational training and gui-
dance programs be strength
ened in the schools, deplores
the appalling staff lacks
in the elementary school sys-
tem," and recommends that So
cial workers be included in the
school structure.
Two more juvenile court
judges are needed in the city,
the report declares, and further
recommends that consideration
be given "at a later date" to a
family court. This would include
juvenile court and would hear
all problems relating to family
life.
Study Begun in March, 1858
The Junior Village Commit
tee. began its study in March,
1858, Of overcrowding at the
Welfare Departments institu-
ton for children whose own
homes are unsatisfactory. The
institutions population had in
creased 900 per cent from 1947
to 1858, and what had been set
up as an emergency shelter had
become a long term residence
for many youngsters.
When the study began, 3O2
children were living In the cot
tages at Blue Plains in South
west Washington. The cottages
were designed to house 240.
Yesterday, there were 45l
youngsters there.
The children are in Junior
Village because their parents
are destitute. missing, sick, in
jail, or guilty Of neglect or
abuse. Nearly all the fathers are
unskilled laborers. The mothers
earn even less than the fathers,
yet the mother is often the head
Of the family.
The Junior Village Commit
tee expanded its study of the
institution to a study Of de-
tendency in the District after
1t decided that only through
surveying 'inadequacies" in the
city itself could the real story
behind the overcrowding be
told.
The committee supports
present plans for new build
ings at Junior Village, hut
recommends that strenuous ef-
forts be made to develop foster
homes for youngsters in long
term care. 1t also presses for a
program of psychiatric care for
emotionally disturbed depend
ent children.
Oscar Cox and Mrs. Philip
L. Graham were co-chairmen
Of the 22-member Junior vii
lage Committee. Mrs. Eliza
beth H. Ross, former deputy
chief of the United States
Children's Bureau, was director
OF the project staff.

End Of British
Rule in Kenya
Believed Near
By SIDNEY LENS

North American Newspaper Alliance
NAIROBI, NoY. %. - Few
whites here believe that Kenya
can be kept as a British colony
for more than 10 years. Most
will tell you, of the record,
that five ''is about the longest
we can hold out"
This is a measure Of the
Transformation of Kenya ini-
tiated-at least partially-by
the infamous Mau Mau revolt,
The Mau Mau movement is
smashed today, but it gained
sizeable concessions from the
British.
The United Kingdom has
poured more than 500 million
into the country, both for
development and security. This
is reflected in the rise of ma
tional income from $3.50 million
in 1850 to twice that amount
last year.
Economic Benefits Cited
It is also reflected in the
number of economic benefits
for Africans. The government
has spent SIG million on Afri-
can farming alone. This is not
adequate, say critics, but it is
far more than was done in the
past.
And this, in turn, adds to
the self-confldence of the
African. Talk to any of his
leaders and you get a new feel
ing Of confidence. Such men
as Tom Mboya, chairman of the
first All-African peoples con-
ference FAAPC) last year, are
arranging for hundreds oi
African youth to be sent to
various countries for university
schooling. One hundred are

Unless the tide is turned, II
notes, children from these
homes and their children's
children, will grow up as badly
educated, housed and trained
as their parents, unable tc
make a decent life for them
selves and their families.
The committee estimates that
there are 1880 families in
Washington with an average Of
four children under the age OF
16 whose incomes are so low
it is hard to survive. About one
third are on public assistance
and the rest presumably live
on much less.
Ninety-seven per cent are
Negro.
U. S. Funds Sought
More financial support from
Congress and changes in some
existing laws are called for.
The committee asks Congress
to free the city from its fiscal
straitjacket" by recognizing
that "the Federal Government
which is more in the Washing
ton real estate business than
anybody else, ought to be ac-
countable for maintaining and
nourishing the life of this city
instead Of, like some absentee
landlord, refusing to help patch
the holes in our social roof"
Washington is now getting
what it is paying for-the per-
petuation Of dependency" the
report declares.
1t will cost "a great deal OF
money" to attack the circum-
stances that leave these fam
lilies constantly ION the brink OF
disaster" the report observes
But doing nothing, it states. In
the long run will cost much
more in actual dollar terms. in
real estate values, in a healthy
Washington economy" and in
"the primary consideration
the welfare Of individual human
beings"
Aid on Need Basis
The report urges that the
Federal Social Security Act
governing the public assistance
program of Aid to Dependent
Children be amended so money
can be given on the basis Of q
child's need. not the fathers
absence from the home.
1t urges that the District
abolish regulations that deny
assistance to needy children
when there is a stepfather or
acting father" in the home.
1t also urges that the District
do away with a provision that
a child may not receive aid to
dependant children if his
mother is employable but un-
employed, and can make salts
factory plans for his care.
1t recommends elimination of
the one-year residence require
ment for eligibility for relief
here.
Public Housing Asked
In the field of housing, II
urges that the Federal law be
changed so public housing can
be made available to very low
income families.
1t recommends that "a part
nership be established between
the commissioners and the real
estate fraternity for a planned
attack on the housing needs of
low income families" The goal
would be "the orderly reduc-
ton OF Washington's shortage
OF decent housing facilities"

tee calls for expansion of the

VATICAN CITY, Nov. %
(AP.-Pope John XIII today
urged Roman Catholics every
where to aid the mission activ-
tiles of their church.
The 78-year-old pontiff made
his plea in an encyclical letter
to bishops. He issued it on the
anniversary of a similarly
encyclical mission appeal made
IL years ago by Pope Benedict
XIV.
Since then, the Roman Cath
olic Church has made much
progress in the mission fields,
especially in Asia and Africa,
he noted, but he pointed also
to problems still to be faced.
Many mission territories, the
Pope said. are going through
social, economic and political
evolutions heavy with conse-
quences for their future" He
did not mention communism by
name, but he emphasized there
is a special need for spreading
the gospel today.
1.-THE good battle for the
faith" he said, 'is fought not
only in the secret of consci-
ence or the intimateness of the
family, but also in public life
in all its forms"
Appeals to Youth
The Pope appealed for youths
to dedicate themselves to mis-
sion work for "the true good OF
peoples" He referred to cur
rent widespread aspirations fol
independence and civil liberty
