Egyptians Seek
Door to Tomb's
Mystery Passage

CAIRO, Egypt, Oct, 26 (AP> .
-Excavators have uncovered
what appears to be the last
steps in the mysterious corridor
beneath the tomb Of Pharoah
Seti I and now are searching
for a door that may or may
not reveal a treasure untouched
since antiquity.
For the past month Egyptian
archaeologists have been clear
ing the corridor. With more
than 400 feet penetrated and
the last Of more than 40 stairs
dug out, the riddle seem cloee
to solution.
Seti ! fuled Egypt more than
5000 years ago during one gl

In a speech before the Pub

said the majority Of wei-edu-
Gated Americans do not regard
the Government favorably as
a prospective employer.
Some Tentative Findings
He stressed that the survey
has not yet been completed and
that some of the findings are
tentative.
However, the speaker said
that on the basis Of present
returns the more highly edu-
Icated and skilled members Of
our population tend to be con-
cerned with such matters as
independence, creativity. op-
portunity. for self-expression
and the like"
DR.. fitzpatrick said these
people tend to feel that these
objectiveS are less likely to be
achieved in Government than
in industry.
The positive aspect stressed
by people regarding the Gov
ernment was its security, sta
bility, and fringe benefits" DR..
Fitzpatrick said. He added, how
ever, that for the majority of
higher educated and profess
sional people. that wasn't
enough to Offset what they con-
Sidered the Disadvantage of
Federal employment.
Regarding the attitude to-
ward Federal employees, DR.. Kill

that the predominant attitude
-. Is one of moderate respect.

reported, such as that civil

Urges Aid To

statement here calling on the
worlds governments to lib
eralize immigration policies.
The appeal was made in a
World Refuge Year resolu-
ton unanimously adopted at
the world assembly of Pax
Romano, international move
ment of Catholic students and
intellectuals, The resolution
held that the World Refugee
Year "can only provide the
impetus for solving the prob
lem Of resettling uprooted
persons, and that the solution
will require work.
II continued:
Therefore, we call on all
Catholic staudents and grad
yates to redouble their eff
forts and, working in close
collaboration with the nation
al commissions for the World
Refugee Year, to be generous
in the material and spiritual
air which they offer to the
refugees, especially those in

it also insists even stronger
on a readiness to forgive.
ALL OF THESE people,
though temporarily in the
service of evil, are not beyond
the pale of divine forgiveness.
Though they seem to move
and to speak with assurance
and confidence, they are in
wardly engulfed with the
darkness of ignorance, fear
and guilt. In unguarded mo-

Piles obviously at peace with

they have somehow missed.

fearing families with which
we are blessed are the glory
of the Church in our 4imes.
They know well the meaning
of the Cross of Christ, yet
their joyful countenances do
not suggest the stereotype of
the martyr. They would be
genuinely embarrassed to be
thought of as holy, for they
freely admit their failings in
getting along with each 9th
er and in raising their chill
dren.
THEIR NUMBER is not
small, and is constantly in
creasing. The shrill cry Of
the enemy propaganda is not
explained by the fact that
some Catholics are using birth
control, but by the very OBJ
vious fact that the majority
are not. Their contribution to
the mission OF the Church To-
day is incalcuable, and known
only to the mind of God.
WE PRAY FOR GODS pro-
lection and blessing upon the
faithful Catholic families who
continue to bear the brunt
of the enemy's attack. For it
may well be that these hus-
bands and wives, through
their lives of silent suffering
and sacrifice, are holding
back the wrath Of God from
being visited upon a sinful
world.

that for millions of Cubans
this affair remains a mystery,
and that the sympathies of
thousands who fought for the
revolution are with those now
in disgrace.
The National Institute of
Agrarian Reform bright
hope and backbone of the rev.
olution - has confiscated or
otherwise acquired thousands
of acres of land, supposedly
to redistribute them to the
peasants. Yet most of the
peasants are being organized
into State-run coop erative
farms, and are told to produce
more for less. Only recently
have a handful of individuals
received titles to land from
the institute.
"MY LAND WASN'T even
up for appropriation under
the Castro law" the owner of
a family size farm told me.
"They even took some of my
machinery And / am still
waiting for some government
documents showing their in
tention to compensate me.
Otherwise, I will be left in
the street" Many others have
already lost everything they
owned.
Fidel Castro, a rugged in
dividualist, is opposed by tenn
permanent to any communist
party discipline. But the end
result of his policy of calcu-
lated confusion is that he is
knowingly abetting the COM
munist conspiracy.
WHY THE CHANGE? One
reason is that Fidel Castro
is falling victim to his own
belief that his revolution
could make up its program
and theology as circumstances
dictated.
The Premier has also been
forced to the left by hostility
toward his regime both with
in Cuba and abroad.
But the most important ele-
ment in the shift to the left
of the Castro regime has been
communist activity in Cuba.
The Reds have not only ex-
plotted Fidel Castro's fears
and needs, but have taken
maximum advantage of the
bonds created when some of
them fought side by side in
the Sierra Maestro with Fidel
Castro and his men against
the hated Batista regime.

Refutes BIC
Report

LONDON, (NC) Fa-
Their Patrick O'Connor. S.
SC, Far East correspon-
dent of the N. C. w. c.
News Service, has written
to the British Broadcasting
Corporation challenging a ra.
dio statement that refugees
in South Vietnam were driv-
en- over the frontier by the
communists in the north by
force.
The letter was sent to the
Listener and the Radio Times,
two weekly publications of
the BIC. Neither has so far
published it.
IN A BIC broadcast in De
cember, Richard Harris Of
The Times London, daily
newspaper, said he had talked
to refugees in South Vietnam.
They had been in my view
driven to the south against
their will, he said. "They were
driven before the choice (or
or against communism was
ever given to them. | don't
think that was true of all of
them. 1t was true of some of
them"
The Catholic Herald, Brit
ish weekly, has now printed
F her O'Connor's so-far-un-
published reply. In it the
priest says:
II TALKED to Vietnamese
refugees in and around Hanoi
and Haiphong, on ships and in
resettlement villages in the
south during more than a
year. | used to ask them why
they had fled from the north.
| never met one who said that
he had been forced to leave.
The vast majority complained
bitterly of the measures TAX
en- by the communist Wet
mini to force them to stay.
1.-THE reasons given for
their flight fell under three
main headings. If they were
Catholics-a good rs per cent
of them were - they had fled
mainly because they could
not practice their religion
freely under the communists
and we don't want our chill
dren brought up as atheists"
Buddhists also complained of
communist interference with
religion but | could not say
whether that grievance alone
would have made them flee.

guide the learning of the in
dividual pupil with respect to
his specific patterning of
mental abilities.
ITO WORK effectively with
pupils" Monsignor Apologize
said, lit is necessary for teach
ers to draw on many sources
Of information. Test results
represent but one of these
sources Of information"
For this reason, teachers
are most careful not to at
tach undue Importance to
test results; they must con-
slider other pertinent factors
such as scholastic record in
the grades, social participa-
ton, family background and
medical history. The test re-
suits are meaningful only as
they are interpreted together
with all other data obtainable.
The school superintendent
noted:
such TESTS AS these CIV
en- to the eighth grade stu
dents are needed to help the
teachers preparing his sche-
dule to understand the pupil
better in order to guide his
learning and achieving and to
evaluate his achievement in
terms of his ability"
'They aid in the adjust
ment to and provision for in.
dividual differences in the
classroom. They help each
student to understand himself
in order that he may select the
proper courses in planning for
his career. These tests also
help to identify groups need
ing special attention. BY a
judicious fitting Of the bur
den to the back, some of the
Illustration experienced by the
slower student is eliminated.
ut is IMPORTANT" Mon
signor Apologize said, that the
students taking the tests feel
that the program has been
undertaken with their inter-
ests in mind, that they realize
that this is a means of as
surfing them success in high
school. 1t is not possible to
"fail" the tests; students will
not be refused admission to
the diocesan high schools be-
cause they did not do we'll on
the tests. Consequently there
is no need to fear the tests for
any reason.
"A good student who is ply.
sically or emotionally disturb
ed on the day of the test will
still be recognized as a good
student from the other factors
that will be taken into con-
sideration. Some of our larger
schools may find it possible
to group students according to
their ability. II is important to
remember that though the
testing program may help in
this grouping, it is only one
factor.
According to Monsignor
Apologize, a student who
proves himself superior to
his group placement will be
changed quickly to another
grouping. Grouping is not a
permanent structure. Nor is
it a comprehensive one; a stu
dent may be superior in one
subject and need remedial
help in another. This must be
taken into consideration in
grouping students.
A testing program tries to
reconcile all these factors in
order to accomplish the great

A MILITIA is being organ

The implications of what
the Castro regime is doing are
not restricted to Cuba. The

the Castro movement into 9th

Armed expeditionary groups
have been trained in Cuba
and encouraged to invade
other Caribbean nations, as in
the cases of Panama, the
Dominican Republic and
Guatemala.
Today, a year after coming
to power, Fidel Castro still
has a large popular following,
perhaps 60 per cent of the
people. But discomfort and
disenchantment are growing
as he becomes more of a die
tator and more of a leftist.
ONE ASPECT of the cur
rent Cuban situation is that
the middle class which helped
Premier Castro attain power
teachers, professional men
and women, small merchants,
and honest wealthy persons
is being ignored. Today, when
the Castro regime speaks of

and in his hands the gullible,

a dangerous weapon.
