Disogrees With Editorial

i, as president OF tne Con-
necticut Avenue Estates Civic
Association, have been in
structed by the CAECA to
write to your paper in regard
to the editorial on Pressure
which appeared in the 81 Feb
ruary issue of the Sentinel.
We request that you publish
this letter so that the honest
views of the citiZens-residents-
taxpayers-voters of the affect
ed area may be put before the
readers of your original edi-
torial in order to correct the
enron eouS representations
made in that editorial. We
don't know why your editor
came to the conclusions he
did, for we, the CAECA, Ger.
tainly have not vested interests
such as financial profit. We
merely voice the interests of
the community, the only way
which the County Council can
feel the pulse of the voters on
local issues between elections.
Any responsible elective gov
eminent encourages such ex-
pressions of interest and re-
Spects them, as our County
Council has done in the past.
In case your Editor has for
gotten, a citizens association
represents every home which
is in their area. This does rep
resent an organized group, but
this type of organized group is
far, far different from a few
individuals getting together
for business interests only,
such as the organization which
wants to construct the apart.

with no visible thought to the
best interests of the local COM
munity.
On the other hand, the
CAECA has a record of act
ing in the public interest.

As for being ''well.nigh i'm.
possible to please all of the
people all of the time" in the
case of the apartments it was
possible to satisfy all of the
community; and the Council
did so when they retained the
coming for private homes. The
CAECA and the other two citi-
zens associations in the affect
ed area Holiday Park and
Connecticut Avenue Park
did not desire the unfavorable
effects of these apartments on
the community. This has been
a consistent stand. And when

ED MESTER, Administra-
tive Assistant to Governor
Tawes, lis one of the most eff
ficient in the business. He is
prOba bly, responsible for
changing the image, some
what, of Governor j. Willard
Tawes. There is no doubt
that Mester has had great
influence ON many members
of the Maryland Legislature
and thereby creating a better
feeling during the short ses-
sion. 1 doubt if the reappOr-
tiOnment bill would have
passed the House of Delegates
without some pretty shrewd
work on the part of Mester.
He is to Tawes what Hagerty
was to Eisenhower. Odell

he should have or not do some
of the things he did during the
past three and a half years.

official has friends" pulling

ALGER BARBEE, a mem
Der of the Legislature from
Montgomery County, seems to
have come into his own as an
effective legislator. His reap
portionment bill that passed
the House of Delegates was a
masterpiece. And his conduct
all during this 30-day session
has enhanced his political sta
ture. Now the Governor has
just appointed him to head a
special committee for Prison
Reform. With his new found
Zest for the legislature, it
might not surprise too many
people to see Barbee hit the
campaign trail for State SEN
ator with some good backing
mainly because of this new
found ability as a legislator.
He has always been an excel

the best States Attorneys and
his vote-getting record is well
known.

Saint Martin

In the modern era in which Communism threatens to
destroy the basic tenets of our democratic ideal, widely di-
vergent views on the best manner of counteracting this hostile
force present themselves in a spectrum ranging from the
fanatic assertions of the John Birch Society and the Minute
men to the para-Christian views of pacifism.
IN THE FOURTH century Of the Christian era, the Age
of the Barbarian Invasions, st. Martin of Tours, a Hungarian
by birth, was faced with a similar problem: how was he TO
cope with the actual and threatened invasion of the various
barbarian countries? st. Martins decision was the way of the
cross, not that of the sword. Leaving the imperial army and
armed with the spirit of the apostles, st. Martin, the apostle
of Gaul. went forth to convert the Gauls by the same means
as the Cure of AIRS later used to obtain the miraculous power
he needed to convert people: prayer and fasting.
Using the various sources of St Martins life, the author
has compiled an accurate picture of St. Martin and the age
in which Martin labored for Christ: the age of Constantine
and his successors, st. Hilary and the heresy of Arianism,
and the demise of the Roman Empire. Although the author
does not go into any detailed account of St. Martins character.
life, or works, she does present a short and concise sketch of
St Martin of Tours in which the general aspects of the great
confessor stand out as a beacon in contrast to the darkness of
this era of heresy, paganism, and destruction of the Roman
Empire and culture-M. Walsh

THREAT TO FREEDOM:

than at any other time. Every
body agrees about that. But
vigilance has a tendency to
open, in a subtle and imper-
ceptible way, frontiers in the
human soul which had better
be forever closed. Vigilance
in the face of evil may give
rise to preoccupation with
evil. And, as the Fathers of
of the Church taught, if we
are unduly preoccupied by
evil, we become evil.
THERE is DANGER in
giving more thought to things
we are against than the things
we are for. 1t is easier to have
distrust than to have faith.
The story of the early Church
shows clearly that it is the
positive in faith which con-
quers the world.
TT Y, w n CON-
MUNISTS and secret Com
munists Vaccinations present
an objective danger, we face
a great pitfall. 1t is not a
question of paranoia in the
clinical sense. It is an inn
ponderable something which
happens to a Community of
Faith.
eve have our nose to the
ground to ferret out the scent
of the adversary; we have our
ears to the ground to hear
the distant rumbling; before
we know it, something de-
cisive has happened to us. We
are no longer upright. Our
gaze is no longer fixed on
God and Man in charity"
Difficult as the task may
be, we are called to follow
the example of our Savior,
who said on the Cross, Faith
err, forgive them, they know
not what they do" He told
us to forgive our enemies and
to pray for our prosecutors.
Undoubtedly this is one of
the hardest counsel to be
found in the Gospels. But it
is a sure test of the quality
of our struggle against com
munism.
If our efforts against this
evil are poisoning us with
hatred and widespread dis
trust, if we believe every
charge against individuals and
organizations without giving
the accused the right to be
heard in self-defense, and if
our only concern is to tear
down and not to build up,
then we have suffered Spiri-
tually. In fighting for the
faith, we have lost charity.
In defending our freedoms,
we have ceased to be free

St. Benedict

Two great moivating forces mark the sanctIty Of the
Church's heroes: simplicity of outlook; love of God. From age
to age, in all civilizations and classes, Christs great disciples
have inspired others to follow their chosen paths to the heav-
emily Father.
AMONG GODS SAINTS, ST. Benedict holds a place of
high honor. Born in the midst of great turbulence. he rose
to leadership by devotion to solitude and Christ. Fleeing the
corruption of Rome as a young man, Benedict began to develop
slowly the personal holiness through which he would guide
thousands to the feet of Christ. With those who focked to
his care, he founded Monte Casino and laid the beginning
of the great Western monasticism which today leayens the
Churchs life.
If a few pages can suffice to present the spirit of st,
Benedict, this book has surely come closest. His motto
Ora eft Labora, Pray and. Work"-mark the pages throughout.
Avoiding a mass of details and legends, the author provides
a brief review of the motivating forces of sanctity, clearly and
pleasantly worked into a hundred pages. Teen.agers and adults
alike will find here a delightful introduction to the love and
simplicity of a great hero-R. W. Dodd.

A. We should be careful to

The Catholic press is al

especially those in prominent

real world leadership and to
win the war for mems minds.
Even our prayers for peace
and freedom from commun-
ism may not always be in
accord with the teachings Of
the Gospel and the Church.
Our Lord often cojoined the
idea of prayer and penance.
The message Of Fatima was
one of penance. In his encycli-
cal On Atheisfie Communism,
Pope Plus XI stated: 1.-The
evil which today torments hui
mainly can be conquered only
by a worldwide holy crusade
of prayer and penance."
In the Old Testament les
sons in the daily Masses of
the Lenten season, God makes
clear that He rejects our
prayers and offerings, if
these are mere external
forms. First we must practice
justice and charity toward
our neighbor, and then our
prayers will be heard. Prayer
must be the expression of
Sacrificial and penitent love,
expressing the reverence and
contrition in our hearts.
TO PRESERVE OUR free
dom and our Faith, we must
resist to the death the attempt
of Communists to conquer the
world. Since they are deceit
full, we must be vigilant. Yet,
at the same time, We must
be aware of the danger in

fVto 70 WIG Guot UT u oCI LGS
of 10 articles on the nature
of the communist challenge
taken from the book Conn
muniSm: Threat to Freedom"
By Father John F.. Cronin.
BY FIR. JOHN o N
All who believe in God
should reject atheistic
communism. Communism
is totally opposed to all
re even though
Communist leaders may COM
promise with a Church for
tactical reasons. This opposi-
ton was expressed elo-
quently and prophetically by
Pope Plus XI, in his Encycli-
cal "On Atheistic Commun-
ISM" issued in 1887.
BUT THE FACT that our
struggle against communism
Is also a struggle for Gods
cause should not lead us to
false conclusions about our
motives.
Nations may oppose COM
munism for political and eco
nomic reasons. Individuals
may be concerned about their
personal security or about the
economic system that has
made them prosperous. Many
may indeed by strongly anti
Communist, but not in any
real sense because commun-
ism is atheistic.
If our culture, for example,
becomes increasingly material
istic, secularistic, and sensual,
we may still have sound per-
sonal and political reasons for
opposing communism. But this
struggle is for our cause, not
necessarily Gods cause.
These points are noted be-
cause many religious souls
may wonder why God permits
the monstrous evil of COM
munism to survive. The prob
lem of evil is far too difficult
to be discussed in this short
space. But we can note that
the non-%C Communist world also
has its share of sin.
LONG YEARS OF colonial
exploitation, racial injustice,
and general indifference to
the poverty and misery of
millions help feed the fires
of communism today. These
evils are exploited by com.
munism, but they were not
created by it.
Many Catholics who are
highly agitated by the Com.
munist problem seem much
less anxious to implement
papal programs for peace, or
the Bishops statement on Dis.
elimination and the Christian
Conscience, Or the teaching
of christianity and Social
Progress" mater ct Mssistra)
Yet these documents call
for moral reforms that will
