Chinese Reds
Claim Victory
In Tibet

TOKYO. April % (AP).-
The Chinese Communist COM
mand in Tibet claimed today
1t had wiped out the bulk Of
the Tibetan rebellion and
killed, wounded or taken pris-
oner nearly 1000 rebels.
The army said that the only
remaining opposition was from
"a few remnant bandits who
have fed to remote mountain
Gus areas"
with the active support Of
the Tibetan people in those To-
calities," the announcement
said. "the troops are continu-
ing to hunt out and mop up
the scattered remnants. They
will be wiped out in the near
future"
Victories Claimed
The Army report, broadcast
by the Communist New China
News Agency said that in more
than 10 days Of fighting the
Red troops had captured a vast
number Of villages, including
all the key points in the bor-
der area Of the Loka area and
in the northern ranges of the
Himalaya Mountains"
The Loka area is the main
rebel base southeast of Lhasa.
1t is Tibet's border area with
India and Bhutan.
The Chinese Communists,
meanwhile. fired an angry bar
rage of criticism at the Indian
government for releasing the
Dalai Lama's statement that he
left Tibet voluntarily.
The charges were the most
serious yet in a rapidly mount
ing campaign to silence Indian
criticism of Communist Chinese
actions in Tibet.
Pressure Charged
The official Peiping Peoples
Daily said "the very act of is
suing such a statement, con-
tanning wild talk about So
called independence for Tibet,
and the unbridled attacks on
China, show that certain in
fluential figures in India
wrongly take the view that
China is weak and timid and
now is the time to freely exert
pressure on China"
The newspaper termed this
a miScalculation and declared:
There can be no greater
tragedy for a statesman that
miscalculation of a situation"
The angry outburst came
after 48 hours of anti-Indian
speeches on the floor of the
rubber stamp Peoples Con-
gress in Peiping.
Timing Scored
The Communist criticism
made clear that the Red HER
archy felt Prime Minister
Nehru's government had tried
to discredit the Peiping regime.

At this dedicatory banquet,
Father Sima wept openly and
with joy as he poured out his
plaudits to the congregation.
Lodge 1873 Gives $25
Father Sima's relations
with the members of the
three CF'U Lodges in New
Brighton have been at all
times most cordial.
Two of the Lodges -
"Beaverites" 738 and Frank

for many years held their
monthly meetings in SITS. Cy-
ril and Methodius Church.
Never once have they been
asked to pay rental. In appre-
citation, the Lodges have al
ways remembered the Church
at Christmas time.
So cordial are the relations
between the members of
"Beaverites" Lodge 738 and
Father Sima that he received
from them a check for $500
during the banquet in his hon
or on Sunday, June 21. A
small token, to be sure, but
one which came from the
heart and went to a man who
has done so much for his fel-
low men.

Job in a hometown steel
mill, Father Sima entered
st. Vincent Prep School,
Latrobe, Pa, in 1922.
He chose the priesthood, as
he explains it, because he
found he could never learn
enough.
"I recognized that by CIV
ing my life to the church and
it's service I would be a great
er benefit to myself and to
others"
Humbly he bows to his pa
rents and their sacrifices
which helped him to enter and
complete his vocation.
He also credits sincere
friendship with Msgr. Joseph
A. Kushner, pastor of ST..
Dominic's Church, Donora,
Pa, as a great influential
personality in choosing the
priesthood.

It is the 4th largest city in

Mayor Zeidler of Mil

1t is a great tribute that
they could establish them

The CFTU is very effective
in making good citizens, good
association, and friendship of
people of our own race. 1t is a
tribute to American democra-
cy.
Mayor Zeidler commented
on how we took root and
mingled our culture with the
American culture.
The ability to take people
from any background to a
new and better life is a mark
Of democracy. We want to
transplant democracy all over

Both are very talented and
accomplished entertainers and
we welcome their enthusiasm
in wanting to help our young

plus our two able assistants,
we feel very confident that
our children will be ready to
perform even earlier than we
had hoped.
Our sincerest thanks 60

fall on July 4th, we have
postponed it until July II.

already purchased the instru-
ments and we are now in the
process of getting the other
necessities such as music
stands, papers, strings, picks,
and, we hope in the near fu-
ture, costumes.
Without the support of our
many friends, clubs, and

have advanced so fast.
Again, a reminder about
our picnic which will be held

it's very membership scattered

As long as the conscious

We heartily congratulate
