PAGE 2—'THE BULLETIN, Mav 17, 1953 PIUS XII WARNS WORKERS MATERIALISTIC ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH SOCIAL CONCORD (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) VATICAN CITY, — His Holi ness Pope Pius XII has warned Italian workers that a material istic attempt to create social peace-without Christ would ulti mately lead to suppression of their freedoms. The Pop£ spoke to 20,000 Italian Catholic laborers assem bled in St. Peter’s basilica on the third anniversary of the proclamation of May Day as the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. At the same time about 15,000 communist workers staged a mass rally in the Piazza del Popolo — People’s square — about a mile away and across the river from the basilica, to hear a denunciation of capital ism and of American missiles. Speaking in Italian, the Pon tiff stated that Catholic social doctrine is in great part re sponsible for the progress achieved in Italy during the past century, and hailed the BUCKHEAD Bowling Center • ■INDIVIDUALS • LEAGUES • CLUBS 3141 Peachtree Road CE. 3-9183 FOREST PARK BEAUTY SHOP PO. 7-4222 1254 Main Street ■ Forest Park, Ga.

Serving Atlanta and 50 Mile Radius present-day world of labor as the fulfillment of the dream of Pope Leo XIII, “the immortal pioneer of social order.” Pope Pius XII noted that what has been accomplished for the working man could never have been hoped for 100 years ago, and that the Christian feast of labor on May 1 has now become a day of victory. “Who would ever have dared to imagine 100 years ago,” he said, “that there would be so many nations in the world where the working class would be recognized . . . and enjoy a just equality of rights and equal dignity with other classes? “Who would ever have dared to think, 70 years or more ago, when Labor Day on May 1 was first instituted . . . that it would so soon have assumed the sig nificance of a feast and a vic tory whose celebration would be associated with the (Italian) nation, and that the Church, for having contributed to the prep aration of that victory with con stant and enlightened works, would have been declared that (the Church) of the Christian workers? The Pontiff continued by say ing that there was a time when certain men considered them selves the exclusive arbiters of the future of workers’ world. They tried by every means to separate the workers from the teachings of Christ and of the Church. But today, he noted, groups of laborers gather before the Pope and solemnize the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. The time has arrived, he said, which “would have gladdened the magnanimous and farsight ed heart of Our predecessor Leo XIII, who could have seen in you the impressive realization of his desires, as he has granted to Us by Divine Grace . . .” While encouraging workers to continue to study and apply the proven principles that pertain to social justice, the Pope told them not to listen to those who “without respect for truth, his tory or the present, bend their efforts to lessen the efficacious value of Christian intervention in social questions.” He declar ed: “If the working class can boast today of just and legiti mate conquests,. if many mis understandings in the relations between workers and employ ers, which once seemed insuper able, have now been clarified to the satisfaction of both parties; if in present laws, or at least in the intentions of legislators, impartial justice is extended to all classes, if the road to social peace has not been sought (in Italy) through a sea of your brothers’ blood — as unfortun ately happened elsewhere and without achieving its end — all this is due to the timely, bril liant, just and sincere inter vention of brave Catholics of the past century, teachers and apos tles who allowed themselves to be guided and supported by the teachings of the Church and Atlanta Hearing Aid Service HEARING AIDS As a Zenith Hearing Aid dealer, we join the Crusade started 15 years ago by Zenith Radio Corporation to bring down the costs of Hearing Aids.

They are opposed, he noted, by “outmoded prejudices, often artfully encouraged by the so- called incompatibility of relig ion and progress,” or by an even more damaging prejudice “which would identify the Church as the adversary of workers.” “Let other workers’ associa tions,” he continued, “say ‘jus tice is enough for us!’ as though the virtues of justice and cha rity were enemies of one an other. The contrary is certainly true. There is in fact no genuine justice which is not preceded and prepared by the warmth of charity. “Your future, that of your sons and that of your country is before you. No Christian worker can excuse himself from taking his own activities into account and assuming his own duties to the end that this future will be better, more active and more secure, than the present. “Contrary to what your fore fathers had,” the Pope counsel ed, “you now have in your hands the efficacious means to prepare this happier future. Make use of these means with the professional and civic ma turity at which you have al ready arrived and in that vis ion embracing life and the world which Christ and the Church have opened before you.” Cagers Find Out How Difficult Communist Life Is ROME, (NC) — An indication of how difficult life is in com munist Czechoslovakia these days has been brought to light by Italy’s touring basketball team.

The package contained a few small paintings, obviously done by an amateur, and the following message: “We are not athletes, only Catholics. “Thank you for the lively demonstration of spirit and goodwill which you have shown. “Take back to your country our voice of sadness mourning for liberty which is denied us.” maryTeone McNEFF, D.

On May 5, exactly one week from his operation, he was able to leave the hospital for a half hour ride in an automobile through Rome’s Borghese Gardens.—(NC Photbs). Cardinal Stritch Described As Doing Well Following The Amputation Of His Right Arm (Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service) ROME — The condition of His Eminence Samuel Cardinal Stritch was described as very good following a successful op eration in which his right- arm was amputated slightly above the elbow. The day after his arrival here to take up his new post as Pro- Prefect of the Sacred Congre gation for the Propagation of the Faith, the Archbishop of Chicago was hospitalized for treatment, of a thrombotic oc clusion (blood clot) in the major artery of his right arm. The operation, which took 35 minutes, was performed by Dr. Pietro Valdoni, Italian cardio vascular specialist, at the Clini- ca Sanatrix here. Present during the operation were Dr. Ralph Bergen, the Cardinal’s personal physician, and Dr. John Keeley, circula tory specialist and professor of surgery at Loyola University’s Stritch School of Medicine. The two physicians had flown here from Chicago. Also present in the operating room were Dr. Riccardo Galeaz- zi-Lisi, personal physician of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, and Vatican physician Dr. Filippo Rocchi. Before going to the anesthesia room the Cardinal received Holy Communion. A major relic of the arm of St. Francis Xavier was kept in the prelate’s room the night before the operation. Upon receiving news of the Cardinal’s illness, the Pope had immediately sent him a message conferring his blessing and ex pressing his wishes for a speedy and full recovery. Cardinal Stritch also express ed his gratitude for the many prayers and messages of good will. All the priests of the College of St. Mary of the Lake, Chica go archdiocesan college in Rome, were with the Cardinal before the operation. The decision to operate was made by Drs. Valdoni, Rocchi, Bergen and Keeley follawing the arrival of the latter two from the U. S. and a consulta tion among them, a report of which was sent to the Pontiff. Informed of the decision, Cardinal Stritch expressed the wish that God’s will be done and awaited, the Pope’s per mission to undergo surgery. The Holy Father’s consent to the operaton was then conveyed by Archbishop Antonio Samore, Vatican Secretary of State for Extraordinary Affairs. Later the Pope delegated Dr. Galeazzi- Lisi to express his satisfaction at the operation’s Success. Among the messages-of sym pathy received by the Cardinal were telegrams from Vice Pres ident and Mrs. Richard Nixon, who promised fervent prayers for his speedy recovery, and from Msgr. George Casey, Vicar General of the Chicago archdio cese, who informed the Cardinal that special prayers had been offered for him at all Sunday Masses in the . archdiocese. His operation here was the first time in the 70-year-old Cardinal’s life that he had been hospitalized except for one brief period for a tonsillectomy.
