Angola (NC) •—Initial preparations for estab lishing a Trappist monastery near this city in the heart of Portugal’s largest African colo ny, are under way. In June of this year, Father Joseph P. McCormack, a Alary- knoll Missioner, teas released af ter serving five years in a Red Chinese prison, and is note re cuperating from his ordeal. After spending more than half of his 65 years serving God in the Far East, Father McCormack was rewarded by the Reds uith five years of unimaginable brutal and unjust treatment. Here for the first time, in a series of five arti cles.for the Catholic press, he re lates the complete story of the “neiv” China under communism. (N.C.W.C. News Service) MARYKNOLL, N. Y. — “The Chinese communists are clever lunatics and everybody knows a clever lunatic is a dangerous man!” So spoke Father Joseph P. McCormack, M.M., of New York, looking back on his nightmare of five years in a Chinese com munist prison. Gaunt and thin, but his Irish wit still intact, the 65-year-old missioner related his experi ences to fellow priests and friends “back home” — at the Maryknoll Seminary, high on the hill overlooking the Hudson, where he first left for China 34 years ago. Relaxed among friends and fellow classmates, the veteran missioner recalled completely the details of his five years of terror in prison.

Here for the first time is Fa ther McCormack’s complete sto ry of life in communist China. By Father Joseph P. McCormack, M.M. (N.C.W.C. News Service) Fear is the lifeblood of com munism. The Reds know that they can only control as long as the people are too afraid to re sist. The Red leaders know that once the people cease to fear them, they are finished, for re volt will surely follow. That is why Mao has turned China into one vast slave-labor camp where it is estimated that about 100 million people have been arrested at one time or another and where it is be lieved some 35 million are now in prisons and slave labor camps. But regardless of what I say and write about life in China today there will be those who refuse to believe it, and others who prefer the Red propaganda line. To know what it’s really like you have to live there. And to see communism at its best, you have to spend some time in a Red prison . . . The nightmare began one morning in December, 1947 shortly after breakfast, when five armed communist soldiers entered the house of Father Maurus Pai, a 70-year-old priest attached to the Maryknoll mis sion territory I headed in Man churia. Without giving any ex planation, the soldiers ordered the old priest to accompany them to their headquarters. There, despite the frigid Man churian winter, Father Pai was stripped of his clothes and thrown into an unheated prison. After ten days of torture the Reds tried him and, naturally he was convicted and sentenced to death. He was shot three times in the back of the head. The Reds can’t deny this because I can prove what I say. I know where the skull of the old priest is hidden with the three bullet holes in it. I knew then that if our young Chinese seminarians were to escape torture and possible death I must move them from Red-infested Manchuria. We de cided to set up a temporary base in Peiping in North China. Af ter six weeks of effort we man aged to transfer 28 Chinese Sis ters and four Chinese priests by plane to Peiping. And then came the problem of our pride and joy, the sem inary. After the scourge of com munism would be only a mem ory in Manchuria, these young men would be needed as priests. But I could not arrange for a plane for the seminarians, 37 in all. They solved this problem by immediately volunteering to at tempt the half a thousand mile journey from Fushun, Manchu ria, to Peiping on foot, along re mote roads after dark. The young men set out in three groups. One group of 19 was taken by the communists on their second day out. They were held for two weeks for communist indoctrination, but I guess the youngsters prayed their way out for finally they were released. I had given them up for lost. I shall never forget- the thrill I experienced when the bedraggled contingents shuf fled in at six o’clock one morn ing hungry, thirsty, and worn out from many nights in the open. When the communist army swept all of China some of the seminarians were captured and sent back to Manchuria, but nine managed to escape from the mainland and eventually were ordained in Hong Kong. Today, five of them are working on the Nationalist island of For mosa. This is nothing new in Church history, for centuries Ireland smuggled its seminarians to the continent of Europe for training. Today, we, too, are preparing young Chinese priests and Chi nese Sisters for the time when we shall return to China. The constant pressure of the communists made it necessary for me to move to Shanghai in November, 1948. But things weren’t much better there. For as the communist movement grew stronger the persecution of the Church became more in tense. What started as mild re ligious restrictions, in the name of “liberation” soon turned to blood. Every day priests and Sisters were imprisoned. Some were executed; others, perhaps a worse fate, were brainwashed, their minds twisted, made in sane. I anticipated arrest at any time, so when I was tipped off on June 15, 1953 that I was to be arrested, I just sat there in my room, that beautiful summer evening, waiting for them. It was an appropriate day — the 29th anniversary of my ordina tion to the priesthood. And sure enough they came, about 30 of them, the military, police, political workers, both men and women, one even car ried a machine gun to arrest a simple,, old priest after 28 years:! of work in China. (Next article will deal with ? Father McCormack's arrest and imprisonment.) Set-vices Held For John A. Thompson Sr. ATLANTA, Ga. — Funeral services for John A. Thompson, Sr., were held August 12th at St. Anthony’s Church. Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Enna Kirn Thompson; a son, John A. Thompson, Jr.; two sis ters, Mrs. A. Y, Chancelor, At lanta, and Mrs. R.

BIBLE CATECHISM TRANSLATED BILBAO, Spain, (NC) — The Bible and a catechism have been translated into Basque, re garded by linguists as one of the most difficult of western languages. The Basque Bible was trans lated by Jesuit Father Olivade. Some 60,000 copies have already been sold by subscription. The ancient province of Bis cay, part of which now belongs to France, contains 126 parishes where practically all of the faithful speak only Basque. It is the largest of the three Span ish Basque provinces. The origins of the Basque peo ple are still unknown. Their language, which is believed to be one of the oldest in use to' day, seems to be totally unre lated to any other known lang uage. The Basques, who inhabit the southwestern corner of France and the north of Spain, have been Christians ever since the early 5th century.
