belief the fresco is the work of
Piero della Francesca, 15th cen

experts was Dr. Procacci. director
of the Restoration Committee of

a work of rare beauty. It depicts
a male figure with a halo. It may
be an angel, but I am inclined to
believe it is a saint or prophet.

Hindu Women Hit
Divorce Clause In
New Marriage Bill
NEW DELHI. India (NC) —A
meeting of Hindu women here pro
tested against the provision for di
vorce in a marriage bill being dis
cussed in the Indian parliament.
The meeting was presided over
by the wife of the Hindu minister
for communications of the Indian
government.
The meeting criticized clause 13
of the Hindu Marriage and Di
vorce Bill which seeks to give legal
validity to divorce.
The women said that the clause,
if adopted, would ruin the sanc
itity of marriage and tend to de
molish the structure of Hindu so
ciety\ It held that the dissolution
of marriage would result in mis
ery and poverty to divorced women
and their children.
The divorce clause, has also been
criticized by the country’s Catho
lic papers.

beatification. Great interest wet shown in the body of the martyr

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil—(NC)
—Visitors here next year for the
36th International Eucharistic Con

fortably on about $7 a day. For
those who want “extras”, $10 a day
will suffice. The more economical

These estimates—they include a
room, breakfast and two meals, and

True Religious
Revival Seen
For The West
In a New York Times arti
cle. Miss Ward said that such
a revival would be shown by the
West sending part of jt« material
plenty to relieve want in the world
at large.
It would also be shown by a re
stored faith and a charity among
citizens, she continued. And it
would place “the building of a
common human society above the
pretensions of absolute sovereign
ty.”
Even the Russian Church, al
though it is obedient to a totali
tarian state, presents the challenge
of a divided loyalty to the Russian
people, she observed.
She said that the threat of a
divided loyalty between Church
and State is “the central reason
why the Soviet system is not
able to tolerate a serious revival
of religious faith."
But. the present signs of a re
ligious revival in the West have
meaning only if the social conse
quences of religion are carried out
in practice, she stated. What dis
turbs the communist rulers are the
social results of a religion put in
to practice, not merely acknowl
edged.
She concluded that the Soviet
instinct to crush ou( religion is
not ill-judged, for potentially re
ligion can undermine their idolatry
of state power and their total con
cern with material things. But, she
said, “the error is to believe that
such a force has yet been mobiliz
ed on any serious scale in the
Western world.”

Suppression Of Church
Is Continued Bv Peron
BUENOS AIRES Argentina N(T— The lene situation
in Argentina between President Juan D. Peron and the Ca
tholic Church shows signs of deteriorating into open persecu
tion of the Church.
This is indicated by new reports from both Argentina
and neighboring countries which seem to confirm fears that
the Peron regime is aiming at
subservient to the state.

influence in political and social

By aiming at the secularization
of the schools. This is an about
face on the part of the govern
ment. It was only in 1947 that a
law was passed making the teach
ing of the Catholic religion a reg
ular subject of all primary and sec
ondary schools.
By passing legislation that legal
izes divorce in Argentina.
The divorce law was pushed
through a special session of the
Peronista Congress in a surprise
move that cannot but intensify
fears among the nation s Catholic
leaders.
Only a few weeks before, the
Congress passed a law in regard
to illegitimate children despite
strong objections by Bishops and
Catholic organizations who saw in
the measure a threat to the foun
dations of Christian family life.
The Catholic authorities, however,
did succeed in having the measure
modified somewhat.
The new law make* absolute
divorce legal and permit* di
vorced persons to re-marry. It is
even an “easy" divorce law. One
year after a couple obtains- a
separation, they can get a di
vorce merely by formally declar
ing that no reconciliation is pos
sible.

schools had meanwhile been vir
