The burden of civil war
fell heavily on beasts as well
as men. Horses and mules
were indispensable for loco
motion. They hauled mill
tary wagon trains and pulled
ambulances and gun Gals
sons. Without horses, caval-
ry was nothing. The Union
Army was hard up for re-
mounts in 1868. A good cav
airy or artillery horse would
be purchased by the Gov
eminent without haggling for
$3.50 and higher. The Star
Of April %, 1868, reported
that Government Horse
Pitfalls" were being established
in the Capital to better care
for the animals on which so
much depended. 1t said: THE

Your editorial, John and
the Antichrist," makes some
perceptive observations, but
when you go on to quote
what you consider a.. proba-
bly, the most significant part
:. :" of this encyclical, you
express misgivings that this
opening to the left on the
part of the Vatican q. could
give Red totalitarianism a
degree Of responsibility it
does not enjoy at present"
Communism is making its
appeal for the minds and
hearts of men against the
dramatic background of crisis
in the present world. 1t pre-
Sents a challenge and a vi
sion that should not easily
be dismissed because 1t claims
to answer the needs of those
who are needy, dissatisfied,
oppressed. For years its
claims were refuted by the
free world, in a defensive
ia shion, however. that
seemed to leave no deep i'm
preston on uncommitted ma
tions. Now against this same
background and in answer to
the same challenges Pope
John has placed a counter
challenge that cannot be dis
missed and would be diff
cult to attack. 1t would be
awkward indeed for the So
VETS to speak out against
the need for peace, the need
for justice and equal oppor-
tunitieS for all men and ma
tons.
The same Pope who has
now made an opening to the
left achieved in the few years
Of his reign what previously
was deemed impossible. Liv-
ing his belief in the dignity
Of human beings and aware
of the church's mission to
heal and unite, he introduced
himself to representatives of
the Jewish faith as Joseph,
your brother" He tireleSsly
highlighted the good in d.
verse confessions and up
holds the freedom of con-
science. Without hesitation
and insistence on protocol,
he has shown his genuine
respect and love for his sep
arated brethren" and re-
ceived love and respect in
turn. The open door to the
left is not for communism
the profoundly anti-Marx-
list nature of the encyclical
makes this very clear-but
for persons who err but re-
main above all human be-
ings" - and thus a source of
his deep concern.
Mira F. Luy.
If, as The Star appears
correctly to speculate in its
editorial, John and the An
tichrist," Pope John XIII
is seriously entertaining the
idea Of receiving Nikita
Khrushchev and trying to
do business with him." nei-
Their your editorial nor this
letter will dissuade him. But
all Of us may gain a clearer
understanding by considera-
ton of the facts.
Christian believers, nom
Roman Catholics, believe
that we are to hate sin but
love the sinner. 1t is not
quite clear that the Pope
means the same thing when

youth who had served as the
model for Jesus. was the same
person! From the choir Of the
cathedral he had gone on to
defile and foul his life in his
private chapel.
May we say that any per-
sons spiritual and moral de-
terioration begins with the
debasement of his imagina-
ton. 1t is at the altar Of the
private chapel that the fac
tors of destiny meet. There 1t
is that decisions are made
with regard to the lovely and
the loathsome. That is indeed
a profound insight recorded
in the Book Of Books-"As a
man thinketh in his heart,
SO is he!"
In his rapturous lines about
June, James Russell Lowell
declares that both June and
heaven are given away to
those who can pay for them
in the coin of their own kin
ships. That poem tells us that
both June and heaven may
be had. Yes, and 1t could be
added that hell can be had
too. Who among us has not
seen across the years those
who have known heaven and
others who have known hell?
1t has depended on whether
in the hidden room" of their
personality they have habitu-
ally lived with the lovely or
the loathSome.
st. Paul was not thinking
about public worship in which
a multitude joins, but about
every persons hidden room"
when he wrote that immor-
tai admonition - "Whatso-
ever things are true, what
Soever things are honest,
whatsoever things are lust,
VIII tsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are
Of good report, think of these
things" He is really saying,
beware what it is that you
admit to that hidden room!"
Now the master Of that
room is our own will. There
was an old hermit years ago
who lived in the mountains
of Virginia. Though unedu-
Gated in the schools, he was
a wise old man, gifted with
rare insight. Some young
boys Of the village decided to
have some fun with the queer
old patriarch. One of them
said, Let's fool him and show
him he doesn't know as much
as he thinks. I'll take a live
bird and hold it in my hand
and ask him what 1t is. When
he answers, I'll say, is 1t dead
or alive? If he says dead
I'll let 1t fly away; if he says
alive I'll crush it," So, they
found the old man sitting at
the entrance to his hut. Quite
abruptly they preached the
question. What is this / have
in my hand?" We'll, my son,
it looks like a bird you've
caught" "Right-now tell us
is it dead or alive?" The old
man fixed his eyes on his
boyish visitors. He looked at
them so long they were en-
barrasSed. They repeated the
question. Then came his an
Swer-"It is as you will, my
son."
So 1t is with what is culti-
waited in that hidden room"
which will make or mar you.
1t is as you will!

confuse error and the person
who errS." For after point
ing out that the person who
errs is always and above all
a human being, and he re-
tains in every case his dig
nifty as a human person." the
Pope adds that "he must be
always regarded and treated
in accordance with that lofty
dignity; and he mentions

in the various sectors of daily
life, between believers" and
others.

operation in wrongdoing; we
may find ourselves paying
homage" not only to the
truth but also to the sinner
as we honor him by recogni-
ton and cooperation.
That this is no mere pos
sibility or speculation is in
dicated by the Pope's state
ment that "a drawing nearer
together or a meeting for the
attainment of some practical
end, which was formerly
deemed inopportune or I'M
productive. might now or in
the future be considered OPP
perfume and useful"
However "opportune and
useful" the so-called "prac-
teal end" such an attitude
indicates the adoption of
what is frequently urged as
a realistic enforcement of
the expedient. To the extent
that 1t honors those who dis
honor Christianity and all
truth, this position itself dis
honors the truth and God,
its Author. This is even more
serious than, as The Star
notes, giving Red totalitar-
ianism a degree Of respecta-
bility it does not enjoy at
present" 1t is indeed doing
evil in the vain hope that
good may come of it, expressly
banned by Scripture.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Pope Johns EncycIicoI for Peace


The encyclical Peace for
the World" by Pope John
XIII calls for an end to
the arms race, a ban on nu-
clear testing and on nuclear
weapons. To achieve progress
sive disarmament under eff
fective controls requires sub
shutting a rule Of law for a
law Of fear-the development
Of a supernatural world
authority-and it is consid-
cred that the United Nations
is IAN important step toward
the juridico-political organi-
cation of the world commu-
nifty"
In this call for action Pope
John carries forward the
views of his predecessor Pope
Plus XII who stated IL years
ago. 1T is necessary to put a
stop to the armament race in
which the peoples have been
running themselves and drain
ing their resources to no ef-
feet" And in the same vein,
just a year ago, U. N. Secre-
tary-General U Thant
warned: IF the United Ma
tons is to have a future, it
must assume some of the at
tributes Of a state. 1t must
have the right, the power
and the means to keep the
peace"
These are hopeful signs
that we may yet construct
a civilized world in which
man is safe. They are en-
couraging to those of us who
have been calling for a
United Nations strong enough
to achieve world peace
through enforceable world
law. For this we have been
called visionaries. I suggest
that the "realists" have pre-
ferred to remain in the jun
gle thicket Of international
anarchy, safe" with the
myth of the absolute nation
state. The only risk that they
run is the risk of extinction.
AS we approach Law Day
on May l. with its emphasis
on law governing nations as
it does men within nations"
may all persons of good will
press forward with greater
resolution toward the rule of
law in International disputes.

Pope John pleads for me
collation." to prevent the de-
struction Of humanity, but
has he forgotten the Chris
tan belief that only God can
destroy the world, as he did
in Noah'S time, and that this
destruction was land would
again be- due to the evilness
of the world? Yet the Pope
proposes to save the world"
by advocating further "nego-
tiation" with the Communist
antichrist, Of which there
has been too much already.
II God does decide to de-
stroy man Tor his sins, does
the Pope plan then to "nego-
tate" with the Almighty to
save a world which has COM
mitted the most unforgiv-
able sin Of all-that of re-
jecting God in favor Of an
entente with militant athe-
ism?
Pope John is a good man,
but there can be little doubt
that he has fallen under bad
influences. An encyclical is
not binding upon Catholics,

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Your Hidden Room

which are the basis of its
faith. With solemn public
services places of worship
have been full because 1000
years ago a grave was empty.
Temples dedicated to the
Christ, whom the tomb could
not hold, have flung open
their doors as throngs have
entered to participate in SOL
emn public services. Ornate
cathedrals and simple meet
ing houses during Lent have
united in the exhortation-
open the gates of the tenn
ple!"
But whether or not a per-
son shares the inspiration of
fellow worshippers who enter
some public temple, where he
is but one of the crowd,
every person carries about
with him a hidden room" as
a sort Of private chapel. It
is built in at the very center
OF his being. And, after all
ones attitudes to God and
to his fellows are never indi-
Gated by his goldfish bowl
performance. In a public
gathering one may go through
pious forms, as Jesus put it,
when even prayer may be an
exhibition on a busy corner
to be seen of men. Always the
acid test is-to what do we
bow down in our inner pri-
vate room where are en-
shrined on the walls the tell
tale symbols Of the gods we
really worship? The same
man may be a pillar in the
public temple and a pagan in
his private chapel.
Samuel Rutherford long
ago wrote a caustic sentence
about a man he knew who
appeared to those who
watched him unusually pious.
Here is what he said about
that individual: "Oh, he is a
miserable cur; he has gone
regularly to church for 80
years and heard sermons
about supernatural things
until he really believes that
supernatural things are every
thing and meannesS is MOTH
ing" That comment suggests
that in the inner recesses of
every one Of us, away from
any public concourse where
all acts and actions are scru-
tinized, there is a hidden
place Of worship where what
goes on is not advertised. On
the walls of this inner chapel
are the symbols of the things
which really express our deep
est desires. We live in the
presence of what we etch on
the clustered walls of that
hidden room"
The fateful process which
may mar a life by what goes
on in that inner room is
tragically illustrated by an
immortal picture-Leonardo
da Vinci's, 1.-THE Last Supper"
We are told an amazing story
having to do with the models
the artist used to depict the
Is faces on his canvas. After
a prolonged search for the
face that satisfied him as a
suitable likeness for his con-
ception of Jesus, he found
him In the glorious Cathedral
of Milan. 1t was the face of
a noble and handsome youth
who sang in the cathedral
choir. Long years passed as
da Vinci toiled on with the
painting that was to become
a famous work of art. Finally
he was seeking a face suffi-
GENTLY villainous and cegrad-
ing for his idea of Juoas. At
last he found one. 1t was the
countenance of a hardened
convict in a Roman prison.

W-6W Survey
Shows Increase

WASHINGTON - The 1868
annual survey of wintering wa
terfowl in the Pacific Flyway
states has revealed slight in
crease over the 1862 count, the
Department of the Interior re-
ported today following recent
completion of the tabulations.
The number of ducks tailed
increased 10 per cent. However
a IA per cent decrease in geese
was recorded. TallieS on coots
and black brant were down Is
per cent and Is per cent respec-
lively, from 1862. A AZ per cent
increase in whiStling swans was
recorded.
Compared with the 10-year
average, Pacific Flyway ducks,
geese, brant, and swans were
found to be from 4 to IA per
cent above average. On the
West Coast of Mexico an Is per
cent decrease was recorded in
duck numbers from 1862. Fewer
geese were observed in compar-
iSon with 1862 in all Pacific Fly
way states except Idaho, Utah,
and Arizona. Oregon, Nevada,
and western New Mexico re-
corded decreases in total water
fowl. Other states in the Pacific
Flyway are California, Wash
ington, and those parts of Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, and Montana
west of the Continental Divide.
A total of % per cent more
mallards was observed this year
than in 1862, principally in
Washington and Idaho. This
was the biggest increase record
ed among Pacific Flyway ducks.
Some 308 state and federal
observers participated in the
1868 midwinter survey in the
Pacific Flyway. In addition to
automobile and boat travel, SO
aircraft flew over $4,000 miles
during this survey. Visual esti-

The Eskimos were three women, one of them 67, and three children of ages from 12 to IT, But that made no difference" The Montreal Star said in paying tribute to the six Eskimos who were instrumental in saving the lives of Mir Paul Jo- seph Garon, pilot, of Quebec City, and Northern Affairs administra- tor at Fort Chino, MT. A. F. Flucke.
 The pilot had made a forced land ing and the plane was damaged and he and his 2 passengers were ma rooned in the inhospitable Ungava wasteland for more than two weeks. The weather was cold-4O below.
 The women and the children set to work at once and made an emer- gency shelter-an igloo. Then they went in search for food and found it - seal meat and fish caught through the ice.
 When it became apparent that rescue was not forthcoming, the pilot, guided by the oldest boy, set out for Fort Chino 60 miles away. The pilot and the boy reached their destination and rescue was affected.
 The Montreal Star said further, But without the Eskinos it is very possible that by now the two white men would be dead"
 And so to the six Eskimos of Canadian Arctic, whose presence of mind and calmness under deadly circumstances in saving the lives of their fellow passengers as well as themselves, goes the Tundra Times tenth North Star Award along with our congratulations.
