AROUND the WORLD
Congo Riots

~LEOPOLDVILLE, Bel
gian Congo-The native
riots, which lett a des-
tructive trail of 70 killed,
$50 injured and hundreds
of thousands of dollars in
property devastated, were
largely due to anti-religious
and anti European sentiments.
Violence erupted swiftly
and UNEXPECTEDLY on Jan, 4
in the crowded African dis
tricts of Leopoldville. Though
only a small minority of the
population was involved in
the rioting, 48 hours later a
great part of the social and
educational structure that
made this city a pride Of At
RIGA lay in shambles.
The riots began at a politi-
cal meeting sponsored by the
Abako-a movement advocat-
ing Congolese autonomy - at
which the future independ-
ence of the Congo was discuss
ed.
Prime target Of the rioters
were Catholic institutions run
by missionaries. The churches,
schools, religious establish
mems and converts Of seven
parishes were burned to the
ground, severity damaged or
thoroughly looted.
With order finally restored
two days later, 20 priests and
AZ sisters found themselves
deprived of all their belong
ings and equipment. Five ma
jor schools were closed, leav-
ing 1877 African boys and
girls without educational facil-
tiles.
Rising above ruins and
chaos came Bishop Felix
Scalais' appeal for calm and
self-control TO the faithful in
the 3,4O0-square-miIe territory
under his jurisdiction.
Expressing his sympathy to
victims of the riots, the Vicar
Apostolic of Leopoldville stat
ed that the incident was pro-
voked by fanatics and agita-
tors later followed by a gang
of plunderers."
Noting that "the great ma.
jority of the Congolese popula-
ton condemns these acts of
rebellion and violence" Bish-
OPP Scalais urged Africans and
Europeans alike to let public
authorities seek the culprits
and bring them to justice.
Although the riots involved
only a fraction of the Belgian
Congo's population of Is mil
lion and were far from con-
sistuting an about revolution,
there disturbance indicated
growing unrest and a wave of
nationalism in the country at
large.

duce a version in which the
advantages of such direct re-
course could be c~onjoined
with the advances scripture
study had made since the 18th
century.
The plan called for dividing
the Old Testament into four
approximately equal sections,
each to be contained in
a special volume, the vol
umes to appear in relative
ly rapid succession. After two
"trial runs" Genesis in 1948,
Psalms in 1850, the first
fruits of the collective enter
prise appeared in 1852 under
the sponsorship of the Epis-
copal Committee of the Con-
fraternity of Christian Doc
trine. The volume contained
the five books of the Penta-
touch, plus Josue, Judges and
Ruth. The comments of schol-
ars, both Catholic and non
Catholic, were uniformly
laudatory, and it was agreed
that the new "Confraternity
Version could take a worthy
place beside similar recent
work done under other
auspices.

iy the third In The series) was

their praises.
If one criticism is justified,
it concerns only the slow tenn

the original time schedule
was a bit optimistic, but af-
ter all this translation is not
a thing for the present mo-
ment, it is intended to become
THE Old Testament for Amer
lean Catholics for many
decades to come. In any event,
we must be grateful for what
we have; half of the Old Test
ament is now available in a
translation that truly fulfills
its goal of fidelity, simplicity
and intelligibility.

Rivers Blames Fish Trap Operators For Playing Game to The Bitter End
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON. R - Represen- tative Ralph Rivers, urging abo- lition of fish traps in Alaskan wa ters, has told Secretary of the h. terior Seaton the predicament of protesting fish trap operators lis largely their own fault"
 Trap operators recently told Seaton the elimination of traps, as proposed in Alaskan fishing regulations now under study by the Interior Department, would be catastrophe to the industry. They noted the number of plans and gear that would be rendered worthless and the number of per- sons who would lose their jobs.
 But Rivers, in a letter to the Secretary, pointed out that Alas kans voted in 1948 in favor of a gradual elimination of fish traps over 10-year period. The pack CTS, he said, would not go along"
 50 now they find themselves in predicament which is largely their own fault," Rivers said. They have played the game to the bitter end regardless of the dam age to the salmon fisheries, and might as well suffer the loss now"
 The Alaska congressman chal- lenged operators contentious that it would take six or seven years to provide enough of various types of gear and boats to allow an ade- quate annual harvest of salmon.
 q think it can be done in half that time," he said, land that a shortage of gear for the next two or three years will be a large fac tor in the eventual restoration of Alaska's salmon runs.'
 Rivers said it is regrettable that closing of the traps will result in loss of jobs for some workers, "but the inevitable adjustment must be made in spite of the element of hardship"
 Estimates of those whose jobs would be affected - totaling 2,317, including 776 Alaska resi- dents - were based, he said, on "the direst predictions by the packers as to the effect of banning the traps"
 Rivers said at least one of the 12 cannerieS which industry spokesmen claim will be closed if traps are banned has not oper- ated since 1856 land numerous cannery consultations would like ly occur this coming season even if traps were retained"
 Somewhat offsetting the losses, he said, would be "an appreciable amount of employment in the utilization of other gear.
