OO1O.
AS usual at these NATO
meetings, a great deal of talk
over the last two days has
been devoted to the prob
lens and dangers which
communism presents to the
West. But for our Allies the
major problem at this meet
ing has been to breathe a
modest measure of hope and
self-confidence into leaders of
the new American admins
tration.
Even by the austere stand
ards of realism set by Presi-
dent Kennedy, Secretary of
State Rusk has been laying
on gloom with a heavy hand
here in Oslo. His opening re-
view of the world situation
by far the most important
statement made in the course
Of the meeting-was almost
unrelieved in its pessimism
about the present state of af-
fairs and the outlook for the
future.
Anything but Cheerful
His summary of Commun-
ist successes in the political
and propaganda field, his
views of the global nature of
the threat, his resume of the
military situation in Laos
and Wet Nam, his warnings
Of new pressures in Berlin
were anything but cheerful.
And when it came to the
possibility Of dealing with
the Russians at Geneva or
the United Nations, Mr.. Rusk
left most of his listeners with
the impression that the news,
indeed, would get worse be-
fore it got better.
Few of the other foreign
ministers went nearly as far
in blacking in somber out
lines of picture. Most of
them, in fact, seemed anx-
ious to point out that every
thing, after all, was not
necessarily lost and that the
West still has the strength
and means to meet the chal-
lenge.
Among notable optimists
were such old hands as
Belgium's Paul Henri Spaak,
former NATO secretary gen.
eral, who found the picture as
drawn by Mr.. Rusk some
what too dark" Canada's
Green weighed in with the
hopeful view that the pos
sibility of salvaging the
situation in Laos still existed
Frances Couve de Murville
pointed out that the Russian
threat in such peripheral
areas as Cuba or Laos need
not be judged in the same
light as fundamental" crises
nearer home that might in
volve Russian military power
Britain's Lord Home made
q major effort to buck up the
tagging ministers. In what

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Ancient Indian Tribe Defied Culture
By THOMAS R. HENRY

An extremely primitive
tribe Of Indians survived for
more than 1000 years in the
American Southwest, amid
highly advanced aboriginal
civilizations that in some
respects surpassed the con-
temporary cultures of Europe.
This is shown by archeo-
logical studies in eastern
Arizona sponsored by the
National Science Founda-
ton. They were carried out
by DR.. Paul Martin Of the
Chicago Natural History
Museum.
Evidence has just been
discovered" says the founda-
ton report, "of a primitive
people without pottery and
probably without agricul-
ture, living in the midst of
other tribes with far more
advanced cultures. Excava-
tions have indicated that
this tribe lived by hunting
and gathering wild plants.
Tools appear to have been
limited to simple in
struments such as grinding
stones and stone tipped
spears. Except for the ad-
dition Of permanent homes
they lived as did their more
nom a die ancestors 1000
years before.
Preferred Isolation
Just 10 miles away other
cultures grew corn, fired
pottery and built Sturdier,
larger and more complex pit
houses. The remote tribe,
which existed for more than
1000 years and inhabited
the site as late as 800 AID,
defended itself against its
more advanced neighborS
and apparently refused to
accept the cultural advances
Of its enemies"
DR.. Martins expedition
also made extensive excava-
tionS in remains Of the far
more advanced Pueblo In
dians of the same general
area. Among the objects re-
covered is a unique kat
china, or image Of a tribal
god, found in a secret crypt
of q large Pueblo ceremonial
chamber. It was a nine
inch tall multi-colored image
carved from native sand
stone. The right arm of the
image was missing. Probably,
DR.. Martin believes, it was
broken off Intentionally to
curtail the supposed super
natural powers of the
katchina when the pueblo
was abandoned 600 to 700
years ago.
The foundation now is
sponsoring, it reports, sew
eral other projects investi-
eating the history and ways
of life of primitive people
of the Western Hemisphere.
Notable is the work among
the Choco and Cuna Indians
of eastern Darien, just south
of the Canal Zone. These
people have been known to
white men for more than
four centuries. Reports on
their ways of life, however,
are very sparse, indicating
that they have been notably
adept at avoiding contact
with foreigners.

Answers to Questions

@. Is it true that the Nazi
SIS troops were marked with
a special tattoo?-A.M.
A. Upon acceptance into
the SIS (SchutzstaffeD a man
was tattooed on the under
side of the upper arm with
the lightning SIS insignia.
This identified members Of

Jack And Dick
Open Season

WASHINGTON, NC
When Richard Lopez goes to
q ball game, he does it in
style.
That, at any rate, would be
the natural conclusion after
the l7-year-old Catholic
youths visit to the American
League seasons opener be-
tween the Washington Sena-
tors and the Chicago White
Sox.
Richards host at the game
was the President of the
United States.
It began when Richard went
to the White House to meet
President Kennedy. The FL
Paso, Tex, youth was chosen
boy of the Year" among the
100000 members of the Boys
Clubs of America.
AFTER THE PRESIDENT

browsing forays was the sec
ton where the librarians have
stored an impressively large
collection of copies Of the
Imitation Of Christ by Thomas
q Kempis.
THE KEMPIS coLLEc.
TON was the product Of
someone's lifelong hobby.
Whoever the lobbyist was,
he collected hundreds and
hundreds of editions of The
Imitation: books of all sizes,
in every sort of binding and
in a dozen different states of
preservation. Some were in
Latin, some in Greek, hun
drews of others in various
modern languages.
In some of the books | used
to find smudgy penciled mar
ginal notes, so old as to be
almost lllegible. In others one
still comes across ancient holy
cards that had been used,
decades or even centuries ago,
as book marks.
Every library has its pecu-
liar treasures, and anyone
who comes to know a library
well invariably finds treasures
of his own. II seems to me
that that life is stunted which
has not lived, part of it at
least, within the rewarding
walls of a library.
OF themselves books or IL
braries will never save the
world. But it is equally true
that, in Gods providentiaI
plan for His sons and daugh-
tiers, salvation often comes
through what our Libraries
have to offer us.

Students Protest

SAN JOSE, Costa RIGA, (NC)
More than 1000 Catholic
students here have threaten
ed a strike unless President
Mario Echandi Jimenez breaks
diplomatic relations with the
proc Cuban gov
eminent Of Premier Fldel
Castro.
The students from Cath
Ollie and government high
schools and universities
paraded before the Presiden-
fial House and were praised
by President Echandi for their
orderly conduct in face OF
harassment by Cast
groups.
President Echandi promised
to consult with the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs on the
students petition. Meanwhile,
he urged them to return to
their classes.
Earlier a pro-Castro group,
'sFriends of the Cuban Revo-
luton" had sought to gather
supporters in front of the
Cuban Embassy Ito defend 1t
from the aggressors."
Another group, the Socialist
University Committee, had
distributed leaflets claiming
that the Catholic demonstra-
tors were directed by Bats
tas'' followers of former
Cuban President Fulgenelo
Batista, whose regime was
ouerthrown by the Castro
wevnIuti0nl.

LIBRARY WEEK APRIL 1922
Remember Your First Library?

EVERY LIBRARY HAS its
special treasures, its unique
appeal. | shall never get over
being impressed by the big
double reading room in the
Public Library on the corner
of New York City's Fifth Ave
nue. and 42nd Street. Or con-
slider the splendid little Fol-
ger Shakespeare Library,
around the corner from the
superb resources of the Con-
gressional Library in Wash
ington.
The student in foreign coun-
tries will remember the Brit
ish Museum, the Bibliotheque
Rationale, the Vatican Lii
brary and the Bodleian Lii
brary at oxford. Not to be
overlooked as the wondrous
collection within the walls of
Philip IFS gray and gloomy
Palace of the Escorial. a Ii
brary rich in Illuminated
manuscripts and boasting the
diaries and letters of st.
Teresa of Avila.

fact that it housed every

Red Cuba
Threat to
Americans

BUENOS AIRES, (NC)
Antonio Cardinal Caggiano
warned here that the Marx
list policies of Cuban Premier
Fidel Castr0's regime are a
serious threat to all Amerl-
can nations.
The Archbishop of Buenos
Aires said in his Easter SER
mon: we fulfill a duty Of
Catholic and American broth
erhood in denouncing the
policy and aims Of the Cuban
revolution as contrary to the
peace and dignity of the life
of the American peoples"
The Cardinal condemned
the execution of the Castro
regimes opponents and point
ed out that Their is no free
dom of the press in Cuba.
THE DANGER of roper
cussions of such things in the
other nations of Latin Amer
lea is evident" he said. This
obliges us to fulfill the duty
of defending the truth, the
rights of individuals, JUS
tice. essential Institutions and
freedoms, without which
neither man, family nor civil
society can carry on with
dignity"
Cardinal Caggiano also de-
tailed instances of Church
persecution in Cuba.
"In reference to the
Church." he said, "the fol
lowing are proven facts: Cath
Ollie radio and television pro-
grams have been suppressed.

statements is impeded and
freedom of education is SER

pages of a letter signed by

Pert of Havana security sery-
ice and circulated to other
agents.
The introduction of the
letter asked for circulation of
the anti-C Catholic orders in

been an increasing number
of attacks on the Catholic
Church in Cuba, on members
of the Hierarchy and on
Catholics attempting to partl-

campaign has had the full
support of the Cuban govern

that IL persons were arrested
