Clothing Drive
Spurred On By
Chaplain’s Appeal
Spurred on by a letter from the
Rev. Clement Faistl. now serving
as chaplain of the third division
in Korea, the clothing drive in the
Columbus^Diocese was expected to
pass last year's record 66,221
pounds of usable warm clothing
and bedding collected during the
Thanksgiving week clothing drive
for the poor people of Korea and
Europe.
Father Faistl, former pastor of
St. Monica's Parish, New' Boston,
asked especially for goodies and
toys for the war orphans in Korea.
In many of the parishes, chil
dren were going house-to-house
in an appeal for clothing.
Rev. Julian Schaefer, of St.
Mary's parish. Lancaster, reported
that the people of Lancaster have
responded nobly to the appeal
despite the fact that a previous
drive a few weeks ago netted a
large supply of clothing for the
children of Europe.
The Rev. John Byrne, St. James
parish. Columbus, reported that
his parishioners were wading
through deep snow last week to
help sort and pack the clothing.
The drive will be completed this
week. Clothing will be packed and
sent to the warehouses of the War
Relief Services, not later than
Dec. 10, for overseas shipment.

NCCM Moves
To Put Christ
In Christmas
WASHINGTON (NC) In
support to the “put Christ back in
Christmas” movement, the Nation
al Council of Catholic Men has an
nounced it will ask all Catholic
men to subscribe to a 10-puint
pledge which focuses upon the re
ligious significance of the Nativity
Feast.
The pledge will be published in
the December issue of Catholic
Men, monthly publication of the
NCCM.
Following are the 10 points in
t*he NCCM Christmas Pledge.
1. I promise to make my Christmas
a holy day with Christ not a
holiday without Him.
2. I promise to observe Christmas
as the Birthday of Christ—not
merely as a day to give and re
ceive merchandise.
3. I promise to remember that the
real symbols of Christmas are
the Star, the Stable, and the
Crib—not Santa Claus and his
reindeer.
4. I promise to teach my children
that “Santa Claus” is the nick
name of St. Nicholas, who gave
to the poor in honor of Christ.
5. I promise to help one poor fam
ily, in honor of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph, the Holy Family of
Bethlehem
6. I promise to send Christmas
cards remindful of Him, the In
fant Savior—not cards decorat
ed only with candy canes, puppy
dogs, ribbons and wreaths.
7. I promise to make room in my
home for Him, Who found no
room at the inn: with a Christ
mas crib to remind ipe that He
was born in a stable.
8. I promise during this season
in a special way, to honor Mary,
His mother, who kept the first
Christmas vigil beside the man
-ger.
9. I promise to begin this day by
leading my family to His table
to receive the Bread of Life.
10. I promise, on this and every
day, to give "Glory to God in
the Highest,” and to work and
pray for “Peace on Earth to
Men of Good Will.”

Belgian Catholics
Act Against
Pagan Christinas
BRUSSELS (NC)—A vigorous
protest against the ‘pagamzation”
of Christmas and a call to Catho
lics to stop “this flood of laicism”
has been published in all Belgian
Catholic papers.
Written by Father August Croe
gaert, of Antwerp, the protest
said: “Were a Hottentot or a
Polynesian to visit the towns of
Belgium in these days, he would be
convinced that on Christmas the
Christians celebrate an old man
who gives presents.”
“It is appalling to observe how
within four or five years the
Christian sense of our people has
been destroyed,” the priest wrote.
"According to tradition, Christmas
is the Christian feast par excel
lence. The manger used to be dis
played in countless shop windows,
to remind everyone of the birth
of the Saviour.
“But in no time, ‘Father Christ
mas’ has ousted the Divine Child.
The white-bearded old man (not
the Bishop St. Nicholas) rules
everywhere: on millions of cards,
cakes, etc. Even in Catholic
motion picture halls he puts a
stamp of his own on these days
of genuine Christian joy ....
“It cannot be tolerated any
longer that this most Holy Night
be deliberately desecrated by com
munists and secret societies
The great mass of unaware Christ
ians are helping in this pagan!
zation. Catholic Action should see
the danger and join forces to
stop this flood of laicism. The
Catholic press should warn of the
danger. Teachers in primarv
schools should provide the children
with the required antidote.”

Masse* Sung For Bishop
PUSAN, Korea (RNS) Re
quiem Masses for Bishop Patrick
J. Byrne, Maryknoll missioner
from Washington. D.C. and Apos
tolic Delegate to Korea, were sung
in the Roman Catholic churches
throughout South Korea. Bishop
Byrne was recently officially de
clared dead by the Sacred Congre
gation for the Propagation of the
Faith, nearly twoand-a-half years
after being taken prisoner by the
North Korean Communist*.
These developments came after
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y.
Vishinsky had brusquely rejected
the compromise proposal. The Rus
sian spokesman's action dashed
whatever hopes there may have
been for an early Korean armis
tice, however, in one respect, at
least, it was expected to have a
positive result: to help the free
nations achieve unity in policy and
action as well as in principle, in
the face of Soviet contempt for
reason and logic.
On his return to London from
the United States, British Foreign
Secretary made a report to the
Priest-Scientist
Cites U.S. Mission
ST. LOUIS—Hope that Catholic
and state universities will increase
interest in science, especially the
relationships between social, cul
tural and religious facets of life
in the world, was expressed here
by Father Giuseppe Reverberi,
professor and director of the zoo
logy and comparative anatomy de
partment of the University of
Palermo, Italy.
Father Reverberi visited St.
Louis University as the guest of
Father Basile J. Luyet, director
of its institute of biophysics. The
Italian priest is touring universities
in this country on a fellowship
from the Rockefeller Research
Foundation. He is the only priest
serving as director of a science
department in an Italian state
university.
The visitor said it is gratifying
to find a strong feeling for science
in the United States. He said this
country has a tremendous mission
in science, culture and religion of
the world.

KOREA—(NC)— It was getting
late in the afternoon when Capt.
Lloyd B. McCabe of Fond du Lac,
Wis., battalion doctor, graduate of
St. Louis U.,said to the chaplain.
Father (Lieut.) James F. Madden
of Philadelphia:
“Father, how soon will Mass be?
I don’t think I can hold out much
longer.”
“Mass will be at 4,” answered
the priest. “What’s the matter?”
“I haven’t eaten yet today. I
want to receive Holy Communion.”
Captain McCabe, newly arrived,
didn’t realize that in front-line
areas servicemen may receive
Holy Communion, non-fasting, at
any hour. He had worked all day
without food or drink, so that he
might communicate at Mass-time.

Indian Korean Peace Plan
Author Causes UN Delay
Menon’s Action Creates Fear That India
Plans To Accept Soviet Amendments
(N.C.W.C. Naw* Service)
Final United Nations decision
on India's proposal for a Korean
truce was delayed unexpectedly be
cause of another request by V. K.
Krishna Menon, author of the plan,
for additional time to consult New’
Delhi before preparing a state
ment to be submitted to the Po
litical and Security Committee of
the General Assembly.
Mr. Menon’s request created
fears among the United States and
other delegations that India plan
ned either to withdraw' her pro
posal or to accept Soviet amend
ments. Meanwhjle, Peiping, in
a
radio broadcast, had rejected the
proposal, declaring that commun
ist China would accept no settle

vide for the repatriation of all war
prisoners.
Columbus 16, Ohio, Friday, December S, 1952
House of Commons in which he
conceded that Mr Vishinsky’s in
tervention had made the chance of
a successful conclusion of a truce
a “slender” one. However, he ex
pressed the hope that the United
Nations would approve the Indian
resolution and transmit it to the
governments of communist China
and North Korea.
At the same time, Mr. Eden ex
pressed confidence that the differ
ences among the UN member na
tions on phases of the resolution
would soon be overcome.
What Is Aggression?
While the General Assembly
sought to find a formula for end
ing communist aggression in Korea
the Assembly's Legal Committee
meanwhile concentrated on two
ambitious projects aimed at an in
ternational agreement on a precise
definition of just what specific acts
constitute “aggression” and at
making such a definition part of
the developing international law.
The other was for the establish
ment of a permanent international
criminal court to handle crimes of
aggression and other international
offenses.
In Europe meanwhile some de
gree of brightness was added to
the East-West situation. In West
Germany, the parties in Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer's coalition gov
ernment rallied solidly behind
both the European Defense Com
munity treaty, which provides for
a substantial German military con
tribution, and the German “peace
contract,” already ratified by the
United States. The treaties, now
carried through the powerful For
eign Affairs Committee of the
Bonn parliament, are expected to
be finally ratified early in Decem
ber.
Spain Meets
Big Opposition
In UNESCO
Resignation. Budget Crisis
Follow Admission, Trade
Unions Protest Action
PARIS (NC) Within a few
days after Spain had been admit
ted into the United Nations Educa
tional. Scientific and Cultural Or
ganization (UNESCO), that body
was shaken by a financial crisis
which led to the resignation of its
director general, Jaime Torres
Bodet.
Director General Torres Bodet,
a Mexican, resigned because the
seventh UNESCO general confer
ence, now in session here had ad
opted a two-year budget which is
$2,400,000 lower than the $20,439,
000 he and the executive board had
asked for.
The admission of Spain led to a
number of resignations, including
that of Prof. Henri Marrou, a lead
ing member of the French delega
tion, and of Marcel Florkin. a Bel
gian delegate.
Another resignation was that of
Yugoslavia's Vladimir i mkar
from the executive board.
Spain was admitted to UNESCO
by the affirmative vote of 44 of
its 65 members. Four countries
Mexico, Uruguay, Yugoslavia and
Buima voted against Spain’s ad
mission. Seven countries Swed
en. Norway, Denmark, Netherlands,
Luxembourg. India and Israel
abstained from voting. Cuba,
South Korea and Saudi Arabia
were not present. Three Iron Cur
tain countries Hungary, Poland
and Czechoslovakia are not at
tending the present session and
four countries could not vote be
cause their membership dues are
not paid up.
The United Stales, Britain and
France voted in favor.
Among those organizations which
have opposed Spain’s admission is
the International Federation of
Christian Trade Unions. Its execu
tive board declared last month
that it cannot agree to it “that a
government which does not respect
the freedom of trade union organ
ization be admitted as a member
of an organization of free na
tions.”

Swiss Bishop Bars
Priests, Faithful
From Sartre Play
GENEVA, Switzerland, (NC)—
Priests and laity of the Diocese of
Lausanne, Geneva and Frigbourg
must not attend performances of
the play “Le Diable et le bon
Dieu” (The Devil and the Good
God) by the French existentialist
writer Jean Paul Sartre.
In issuing this prohibition, Bis
hop Francois Charriere declared
that this play has been one of the
main reasons for the Holy Office
decree of October 30, 1948, which
placed all the works of Sartre on
the Index of Forbidden Books.
Similar warnings to Catholics
against attending the play had pre
viously been issued by the Bishops
of Liege (Belgium) and Metz
(France).
Sartre is one of the promoters
of the communist-sponsored “Con
gress of the People for Peace,”
which is scheduled to open in
Vienna, Austria, December 12.
Churchmen Broadcast Holiday
Message Behind Iron Curtain
Bishop Griffiths Of New York, Leaders Of Other
Faiths Speak Over Radio Free Europe
NEW YORK (RNS)—Thanks
giving Day messages from four
prominent American churchmen
were broadcast over Radio Free
Europe to people “behind the Iron
Curtain,” it was announced here
by Henry Ford II, national chair
man of the Crusade for Freedom.
The organization supports both
Radio Free Europe and Radio Free
Asia.
The messages were from the
Rt. Rev. Henry Knox Sherrill,
Presiding Bishop of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church and presi
dent of the National Council of
Churches Bishop James H. Grif
fiths of New York, Auxiliary to
the Roman Catholic Military Vicar
of the United States and Arch
bishop Michael, head of the Greek
Orthodox Archdiocese of North
and South America.
The churchmen assured their
listeners that millions of Amer
icans had offered silent prayers on
Thanksgiving Day for those oppres
sed and enslaved by the Commun
ists in Eastern Europe and Asia.
They also affirmed the conviction
that faith in religious freedom
remains a flame in the hearts of
all “captive” peoples.
Mr. Ford said that the broadcasts
in seven languages carried the mes
sages to the people of Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria and Albania.
Bishop Sherrill said in hi*
message that Americans are “pro
foundly aware of their precious
heritage" of religious freedom.
“But beyond that awareness of
their own blessings,” he added,
“Americans are today united in
prayer for the release from tyranny
of millions of their fellow men
whose right to worship God, so
cruelly and systematically asaulted
today, must inevitably be restored.”
Bishop Griffiths asked the Iron
Curtain victims of Communism to
“remember that God is not mock
ed” and said that "despite the
gloom of the moment we look for
ward with hope in our hearts to
the day when you may publicly
adore Him without fear of enslave
ment, deportation or death.”
Speaking on behalf of Jews,
Rabbi Kramer said: “We. with our
fellow Americans of all faiths and
races, are deeply grateful to the
Almighty for the greatest measure
of freedom we enjoy here in Amer
ica. We join all liberty-loving
men and women throughout the
world in a Thanksgiving prayer
that also seeks a new dawn when
freedom will be granted to those
of all faiths now imprisoned by the
Communists behind Iron Curtain.”
“Greek Orthodoxy through the
ages has fought every anti-Christ
ian. anti-religious ideology,”
Archbishop Michael said. “On
this day when Americans of all
faiths and denominations give
thanks, we add our earnest prayers
that humanity will soon know the
banishment of the evil spirit that is
Communism and that the world
will once again be blessed with
peace and goodwill among men.”

Warn Protestants
“Watch Prayers’’
BERLIN—(NC) If Protestants
continue to pray in their churches
for communist prisoners they are
interfering in state affairs and
must expect “serious consequen
ces.”
This warning was sent to Protest
ant Church headquarters in East
ern Germany by the ministry of
the interior of the communist East
German regime.
“Stop such unpermissible inter
ference in sovereign matters of the
state,” the warning said. The pray
ers have been offered for the wel
fare of thousands of Germans who
are still held in Soviet captivity,
for civilian prisoners and also for
50 Protestant ministers, some of
whom have mysteriously disap
peared from their posts in the So
viet zone of Germany.
An official of the Protestant
Church declared, in comment on
the warning that in offering pray
ers for prisoners the church does
not mean to express approval of
what they allegedly had done.
