JOSEPH BREIG
WHAT DID ‘K’ SEE?
Khrushchev was shown some
thing of the body of America.
How much of its soul he per
ceived is another question.
The Soviet premier is not easy
to analyze. He talks about God,
for instance,
as if he recog
nized God’s
existence; but
he s u g gests
that he is an
atheist.
He was sim-
ilarily para
doxical in
Hollywood, which with its su
blime genius for doing the
emptyheaded thing, presented
the can-can as its contribution
to Khrushchev’s education
about America.
A dance by Fred Astaire,
Gene Kelly or Marge and Gow
er Champion, would have been
truly representative of America.
As it .was, Hollywood demean
ed America.
Khrushchev promptly con
demned the can-can as immoral.
But if there weren’t any God,
morality wouldn’t exist. You
can’t deny God and call any
thing immoral.
Khrushchev blamed “capital
ism” for degrading girls with
dances like the can-can, and said
his government has a right to
protect people against that kind
of thing.
Here are his words to Walter
Iteuther, president of the United
Auto Workers, and other top
labor leaders:
"As head of the working class
I will protect workers from
capitalist propaganda. (He then
referred to the can-can.) this is
what you call freedom — free
dom for girls to show their
backsides. To us it's porno
graphy. It's capitalism that
makes the girls that way."
Such was Khrushchev’s lame
answer to Reuther’s question:
“You advocate more trade. How
come you oppose a free flow of
ideas by jamming radio broad
casts?”
Khruschev was evading the
question by using the can-can
as a diversionary tactic. All the
same, it did appear that the
dance had offended him —
morally.
Or was he merely seizing,
astutely, upon a chance to try
to put Americans on the defen
sive?
Khrushchev kept talking as if
America could be defined and
contained in the word “capital
ism.” In Washington and New
York, he got away with it for
the most part.
Why? My guess is that some
of the people he met in those
cities are as basically material
istic in their thinking as Marx
was.
YET, THE FACT is that to
day the Soviet Union is thor
oughly capitalistic, whereas -the
U. S. isn’t.
In the Soviet, all capital is in
the hands of a handful of
bureaucrats,, giving them des
potic economic power over the
people. That’s capitalism with a
capital C.
America has become what
Chesterton called “distributist.”
Most of the capital is in the
hands of the millions, not the
few. Thus the people wield eco
nomic as well as political au
thority.
America approaches more and
more to the ideal of “every man
a king.”
A minority of Americans have
never become reconciled to that.
Members of this minority, be
cause their thinking is in the
past, could not challenge Khru
shchev’s taunts about “capital
ism.”
Indeed, Khrushchev handily
won arguments with this kind
of America.
IT WAS ANOTHER story
when he tried to debate with
the labor leaders. His replies
were pitiable when they asked
him why no workers flee into
the Soviet orbit, whereas mil
lions flee from it; why Soviet
tanks were sent into Hungary,
and why unions in Soviet Rus
sia are mere rubber stamps for
the Kremlin.
Khrushchev likewise had no
adequate answers to the talk in
which Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S.
ambassador to the UN, reminded
him that America is a “nation
under God;” that its attitude to
the world is that of Lincoln —
“with malice toward none, with
charity for all, with firmness in
the right as God gives us to see
the right;” and that America’s
soul is expressed in the Declara
tion of Independence, in the
prophet Micah’s injunction “to
do justly, to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with God,” and in
Christ’s commandment that we
love our neighbor.
If Khrushchev cannot under
stand those truths, he has
learned little about America.
Theology
For The
Layman
(By F. J. Sheed)
THE MAN CHRIST JESUS (2)
We have begun to think of
the love of Our Lord’s human
soul. It was, as human love must
be to be wholly itself, love of
God and love of man. The Gos
pels are filled with both.
What needs
to be said
about His love
of man can be
said quickly—
it is the one
thing that ev
ery Christian
knows about
Him, in fact
that everyone knows about Him.
But we have seen earlier a com
mon misunderstanding. He is
not a merely amiable person
who goes round telling people
he loves them. In fact He hard
ly ever tells anyone that. There
is not a trace of sentimentality
in Him, no sugar at all. His
speech is abrupt, realistic, not
often melting. It was not from
His speech that men learnt His
love for them: it was above all
from His actions. But learn it
they did; and it was one of His
disciples who uttered what is
perhaps the most wonderful
phrase of all religion “God is
love.” St. John was combining
the two truths he had come to
know, that Christ is God and
Christ is love.
What will startle the reader
coming new to the Gospels is
the intensity of Our Lord’s de
votion to His Father in Heaven.
The first words recorded of
Him are “Did you not know that
I must be about my Father’s
business;” His last words on the
Cross were “Father, into thy
hands I commend my spirit.” In
between His love for the Father
is continually finding expres
sion. Time and again we are
told that He went apart from
the apostles to pray to His
heavenly Father.
Here we come to a third form
of a difficulty which we consid
ered twice in the last article.
How can , a person pray,
when He is Himself
God? Every act of Our
Lord, whether in the divine na-

Question
Box
By David Q. Liptak
Q. In a Rosary phamphlel I
just finished reading, it is taken
for granted that St. Dominic in
stituted the Rosary devotion af
ter having received a vision
from our Blessed Lady. Isn't
this merely a legend and no
more? Isn't it true that Rosary
beads were in use long before
St. Dominic's time?
A. The question, as to whe
ther St. Domonic instituted the
Rosary devotion as we know it,
is basically historical. As such,
it has been argued for centu
ries. Since conclusive proof is
wanting one way or another,
the debate is still going on
among scholars. This much,
however, is generally agreed
upon: St. Dominic did not in
vent. the Rosary as an entirely
new form of prayer, but so pio
neered in teaching and propa
gating the Rosary devotion as
we know it, that he can proper
ly be called the author of th»
Rosary.
An impressive number of pa
pal statements can be quoted in
confirmation of this position.
Pius XI, himself a scholar of
note, wrote: “St. Dominic won
derfully promoted (the Rosary),
not without inspiration from
the Virgin Mother of God and
heavenly admonition.” And
Benedict XIII said: “When- (St.
Dominic) had been advised by
her (as the tradition says) that
he should preach the Rosary to
the people as a singular protec-
tionagainst heresies and vices,
he carried out the task enjoin
ed on him with wonderful fer
vor and success.”
These texts do not bind in
conscience, of coui’se, because of
their historical nature. None
theless, it would be rash not to
assign special significance tc
them.
Summarizing the facts su
staining St. Domonic’s author
ship of the Rosary in the sense
defined, Father William Most
carefully writes in his “Mary in
Our Life”:

(By BARBARA C. JENCKS)
• "VARIETY" is sometimes
referred to as the “bible of the
entertainment world.” A recent
article reported that religion
was number one at the box
office, bigger than sex! “Reli-
gion-not sex, violence or ro
mance — provides the greatest
. guarantee for the box office
success of a film in today’s
market,” the story reports. You
can almost feel the awe and
wonder of. the writer! It is no
surprise to me. All manner of
man is interested in God and
the things of God despite the
analysts, the sociologists, the
psychologists who call sex and
self the primary drives of man.
Each grade-schooler knows in
his lisping replies that man is
made to know and love and
serve God and few who know
this ever really forgot. Those
who never learned of God are
forever restlessly seeking him.
The producers, the publishers
all think that man’s dosage of
original sin and preoccupation
with sex will fill his coffers as
they put out paperbacks of
“Lady Chatterly’s Lover” and
produce films like “Blue
Angel?” regularly about matters
which would never have been
spoken in public ten years ago.
Religion at the box office and
everywhere else will ever ap
peal to the heart and soul of
men. Why is “Variety” appar
ently so surprised?
• SEVERAL YEARS ago,
Shaw’s “St. Joan” opened on
Broadway. The reviews which
followed Siobhann McKenna’s
performance were far different
from those of ordinary success
ful openings. They reflected
awe and wonder. It was more
than the acting. It was more the
story, itself. The reviews were
of the tone: this is the purpose
for which theatre was created.
It enobled the playgoer. It gave
him glimpses into the nobility
of character. Heroism, goodness,
truth — all make for box-office
success in the true sense of the
term. This past season, we have
seen that “J. B.,” Archibald
MacLeish’s play which gives a
modern sequence to the Biblical
Job story, win a Pulitzer prize
and tickets are still at a pre
mium. The merits of J. B.
(which one reviewer called “a
kind of audience-catharsis of
the type Billy Graham offers”)
may be debated. I saw the play
and felt as Eliot once wrote:
“I had the experience but miss
ed the m e a n i n g.” This play
again, however, graphically
proves the popularity of religion
at the box office.
a IT IS strange to attempt
reading the mind of a publisher
or producer who under the guise
of “give ‘em what they want”
lets loose a sequence of obscene
publications, films and plays,
the likes of which the world has
never in its history known. An
elderly woman came bewilderly
into our dining room one day
last week. She had been to see
“Anatomy of a Murder” because
she thought, it was a law-mur
der film and she liked Jimmie
Stewart. The poor woman was
completely shocked by the dia
logue and shook her head in sad
ness saying: “Ten years ago,
such a dialogue would never
have been allowed.” Such opin
ion is not held to a pius Chris
tian woman who prays for Rus
sia everyday and has dedicated
her life to Catholic education.
Hear the urbane Clifden Fadi-
man, no easily shocked witness
to life, as he surveys the current
literary scene. “We are enough
in the very middle of a literary
Renaissance of sex peculiarities
and erotic phantasy.” In his
comment on some of the per- .
verted themes of current writ
ers, Mr. Fadiman says: “Twen
ty-five years ago either they
could not have been published, •
or they would have collided
with that paragon of purmid-
deness, the American cop.”.

Road” caused enough shock to

SHARING OUR TREASURE
Basketball Coach Wins
Harlem Globetrotter
By REV. JOHN A. O'BRIEN, Ph. D.
(Universiiy of Notre Dame)
By Rev. John A. O'Brien, Ph. D.
(University of Notre Dame)
One of the simple ways you
can help to win a soul for Christ
is by living your Faith day by
day. Example is more powerful
than precept, and will outweigh
a ton of argument. The Catholic
who lives an
upright and
virtuous life
is a walking
testimonial to
the whole
some influ
ence of his re
ligion and will
thus prompt
others to examine it. This is
illustrated in the conversion of
Alvin T. Clinkscales, instructor
and basketball coach at Notre
Dame High School in Bridge
port, Connecticut.
“I was reared a Baptist,” re
lated Alvin, “and as a youngster
attended church and Sunday
School. After graduating from
high school I went to Arnold
College in Milford, where I
roomed with Vito Montelli.
When Sunday came, I remained
in bed, while Vito went off to
Mass and Holy Communion.
“When he came back, he was
radiantly happy. I could see how
much he was getting from of
his religion. The prospect of
going to sing hymns and listen
to a long-winded sermon in a
Protestant church left me cold.
There was nothing in my re
ligion that really gripped me
or provided incentives to attend
services when away from home.
“Vito explained what the
Mass is, and what a precious
privilege it is to assist at it.
After inviting me to attend with
him, he loaned me his missal,
and showed me how to follow
the action at the altar. I went,
and was deeply impressed with
the quiet reverence of the wor
shipers. I felt that I was in the
presence of God, and this feel
ing was particularly accentuated
when the priest raised aloft the
Eucharistic Host at the con
secration.
“I continued to attend every
Sunday and to pray each day.
I made the four-day annual re
treat conducted by Father O’
Connell. This further deepened
my appreciation of all the help
that the Catholic religion offers
people to live an upright and
holy life. After Alford College
merged with Bridgeport Uni
versity, I met Father McGough,
Newman Club chaplain, and
asked for instructions.
“In a friendly manner Father
told me the whole story from
A to Z. When I perceived that
the Catholic Church was found
ed directly by Jesus Christ and
was commissioned to teach His
truths to all men 15 centuries
before a Protestant sect saw the
light of day, I knew that I
found Christ’s true Church.
“I was received into the
Church by Father McGough, and
Vito knelt at my side when I
made my first Holy Communion
on my graduation day. That
same evening I was confirmed

the national sense of sin, once
our pride and joy, has grown
more and more sluggish.” How

No Substitute For
Holy Nome Society
NEWARK, N. J., (NC) —
“The Holy Name Society is the
official ecclesiastical society for
all Catholic men, and member
ship in other societies should
not be considered a substitute
for joining the Holy Name
Society.”
Archbishop Thomas A. Bo
land of Newark made this
statement in a pastoral letter
read at all churches in the
archdiocese (Oct. 4) as he an
nounced approval of the state
wide HNS membership cam
paign being conducted.
The campaign, he said, “has
my cordial approval and my
earnest prayers for complete
success.” The four New Jersey
Sees are cooperating in the
two-month drive.
“We cannot overstress the
point that the Holy Name So
ciety is for every man who pro
fesses the Faith and who is not
ashamed or afraid to defend
and practice it,” the Archbishop
said.
He pointed out the the so
ciety was founded almost 700
years ago “so that Catholic men
could give organized and pub
lic profession of faith in Jesus
Christ as God.”
The society, he declared,
“calls upon its members to give
living expression of that faith,
and to support the Church
publicly in its never-ending
crusade to have mankind
recognize, accept, live and de
fend what is pleasing to the
Heart of Our Savior, His Di
vinity, His Sacred Name and
His Divine teaching.”
by Bishop Shehan and that June
day will always remain in my
memory as one of the happiest
in my life.
“Wanting to share my hap
piness with others, I told Mea
dow Lemon, my close friend and
star' of the Harlem Globe
trotters, about my discovery and
how much happiness the Faith
had brought me. He became in
terested, took a course of in
struction and became a Catholic.
He married a good Catholic and
they are now the proud parents
of two children.
“Every day the Faith means
more to me, and I’ll try to show
my gratitude for this precious
gift by sharing it with others.
I’m taking an active part in the
Crusade for Souls which Bishop :
Shehan is launching in the
Bridgeport diocese. It’s a won
derful privilege to ring doorbells
and invite non-Catholics to the
parish Open House and Infor
mation Classes and thus help
our zealous priests in bringing
thousands into the true Church
of Jesus Christ.”
Father O'Brien will be grate
ful to readers who know of any
one who has won two or more
converts if they will send the
names and addresses of such per
sons to him at Notre Dame Uni
versity, Notre Dame, Indiana.
Whenever Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev offers to make
any kind of a deal with the
United States, he is pretty sure
in his own mind that he will
come out
with the big
end of the
stick.
Repeatedly,
during his re
cent visit he
pleaded for
more trade
with the
United States. But when ques
tioners tried to pin him down
as to specifically what items
the United States and the Sov
iet Union could exchange, he
gave vague and petulant an
swers.
The reason Khrushchev does
not want to discuss trade in
terms of items is, of course, that
he knows Russia has almost no
thing that the United States
wants and that the items he
wants from the United States
are only the heavy machine
tools that would enable him to
increase his production of de
fense and consumer goods.
BIGGEST AIRLINE
During the question period at
the National Press Club
luncheon in Washington he
said he would like to negotiate
an agreement that would per
mit airliners of the two coun
tries to serve one another.
There cannot be the slightest
doubt that he would welcome
permission to fly his passenger
planes into New York, for it
has long been the aim of the
Soviet Union to set up the
greatest world-girdling air ser
vice in the World.
Already Khrushchev’s state-
By JOHN C. O’BRIEN
owned airline, Aeroflot, is the
biggest single airline in the
world and possesses the world’s
biggest fleet of gas turbine
powered transports. Americans
who have traveled on the Sov
iet airlines admit they are as
good, if not better, than many
in service on United States
lines. Passengers ride in com
fort and on international flights
are served appetizing meals
with wines and liquors.
By the end of June of this
year, Areoflot was using nearly
200 turbojet and turboprop pow
ered transports in scheduled
passer\ger, cargo and mail ser
vice. In addition to this fleet
of modern aircraft, it has some
1,600 twin-piston engine trans
ports and uncounted hundreds
of single engine planes used on
feeder lines. By comparison the
combined fleet of the United
States trunkline airlines has 137
gas turbine transports and 1,100
four-engine and twin-engine
piston powered transports.
The Soviet airline flies over
350.000 route miles and serves
129 major airports, including a
dozen foreign capitals, plus
some 300 cities without improv
ed airport facilities. By com
parison, Air France, largest com
parable western airline, flies
173.000 route miles.
During 1958, Aeroflot flew
about 9,000,000 passengers and
the Moscow airport during peak
periods handled a passenger
flow of 1,000 an hour. In the
same year, American Airlines,
largest of the American trunk
lines, carried 7,000,000 passen
gers.
MOSCOW-NEW YORK ROUTE
Both in its domestic and in
ternational service the Soviet
airline is expanding rapidly. It
aims in 1959 to add 25,000 miles
of new routes, largely in Siberia
and Central Asia. The latest ex
pansion of international service
. was the opening of a London-
Moscow service last May and
the signing of an agreement
with Austria for a reciprocal
Moscow-to-Vienna Service. ,
Aeroflot officials make no sec
ret of the fact that their next
goal is a Moscow-New York
route followed by opening of
services to South America..
In principle the United States
already has agreed to an ex
change of civil air rights. This
was provided in the so-called
United States-USSR cultural
exchange pact of 1958. But as
yet the two countries have not
got together to negotiate the
actual terms of an agreement.
American foreign air carriers
are by no means happy about
the prospect of Soviet compe
tition. They know that in no
other field of competition is
Khrushchev better prepared to
carry out his threat, “We will
bury you.”
A dictatorship such as exists
in the Soviet Union, the United
States airlines are well aware,
can divert as much money as
may be needed to fill the skies
with the latest type air trans
ports. It can also establish cut-
rate fares, having no direct re
lation to the cost of operation.
The United States lines, on the
other hand, must raise large
sums of private capital' to fi
nance the construction of their
planes and pay interest on the
loans. Also they must charge
fares sufficiently high to meet
the cost of doing business and
yield a profit.

UNREALIABLE
There are a number of ways
to reach the heights, but put
ting up a bluff is not one of
tHein. -
MONKEY BUSINESS
A Franciscan missioner trav
eling through the jungle came
suddenly upon a lion. Flight
was hopeless; the missioner
dropped quickly to his knees in
anxious prayer. Minutes later
he was greatly comforted to
note that the lion had fallen
on his knees beside him.
“Dear Brother Lion,” ex
claimed the missioner in great
relief. “How good it is to see
you joining me in prayer! Only
a minute ago I despaired for
my life.”
“Quiet!” snapped the lion.
“I’m saying grace.”
It didn’t happen this way in
the case of St. Agapitus. When
the saint was a tender 15 years
of age, he was arrested as a
Christian and thrown to the
wild beasts in the ampitheatre.
The animals, however, declin
ed the dinner invitation.
Which all goes to prove that,
regardless of the color of their
manes, there are good lions and
there are bad lions. But whe
ther they are the hungry type
or the kind that will let us see
the sun rise another day, all
animals were created by God
for our use. I can’t think of a
use for all of them at the mo
ment; but they are there if we
want them.
God sort of handed over to
Adam a title to all creation af
ter He got the world rolling. In
the book of Genesis, Moses
quotes the Lord as saying, “Ev
erything that moves and lives
shall be meat for you; even as
the green herbs have I deliv
ered them all to you.”
A canine friend of mine who
calls himseM Phideaux (it’s
really Fido, but he’s one of
those snippy French poodles)
protests that this is discrimina
tion. He says it puts animals,
comes dinner time, in the same
class as vegetables.
He’s worrying about nothing.
We don’t eat dogs. Theoretical
ly, we could eat them some day,
and it’s this theory that both
ers him so much. But he might
as well face it: it is fundamen
tal Catholic teaching that ani
mals were created for our use.
We can eat them or put them
in cages or make pets of them.
This is usually clear to our
heads, I think, but not always
to our hearts. If we were not
carried away by sentimentality,
there would not be so many
protests whenever animals are
used in strange ways. Like the
angry letters saying Laika, the
Moscow Mongrel, should not
have been sent up in the satel
lite.
We’re not always sensible.
Look at the objections when
Able and Baker, the American
Apes, made their famous rocket
ride. Indeed, the people com
plained more than the monkeys.
At the press conference they
called after their return, the
monkeys were delighted by all
the publicity. Sure, one of the
pair died later. But this was
probably due to his inability to
adjust himself to zoo life after
seeing so much of the universe.
The heart overrules the head
in other people-animal rela
tionships. Witness the number
of elaborate monuments erect
ed to faithful canines and fe
lines in pet cemeteries. Even
Aunt Phoebe doesn’t rate such
tribute.
Another example of upside-
down thinking: the controversy
about vivisection. Heads have
cooled considerably in the past
few years. But you can still
hear occasional complaints that
operating on living animals is
immoral, that it involves great
cruelty to creatures.
Saying this really puts the
dog before the man. Fido . . .
excuse me . . . Phideaux would
n’t volunteer to be cut up for
science, I’m sure. Naturally,
dogs don't like being guinea
pigs. But vivisection has
brought many benefits to every
branch of medical science. Such
experiments have taught us a
lot of things: how the blood
circulates, the effects of many
poisons and drugs, the tech
nique of sewing up wounds, and
so on.
The old picture of the fiend
ish scientist grinning sadistical
ly as he slices into the innocent
puppy has faded. Most people
realize that a true man of
science inflicts only as much
pain as is necessary. And that
he uses an anesthetic on the
animal whenever possible.
Yet some overzealous animal-
lovers still assert that such pro
cedures are wrong. They don’t
realize that animals were cre
ated for the service of man. If
the pains of animals can lessen
human sufferings in any degree,
then the operations are justi
fied.
No one is crazier about ani
mals (dogs, I mean, not lizards
or tigers or baboons) than I am.
But I must admit that insisting
on the rights of animals and
talking about our duties toward
them is ridiculous. As St. Tho
mas Aquinas said, “Man with
out injustice uses them, either
by killing them or in any other
way.”
Of course we’re obliged to be
kind to animals. Cruelty is an
offense against God. There
have to be reasons for sending
the little creatures off into
space, for operating on them
or for giving them some disease.
Cardinal Newman put it clear
ly: “We may use them . . . for
our own ends, for our own ben
efit and satisfaction, provided
that we give a rational account
of what we do.”
This information, I might
add, is for people only. If you
leave this newspaper lying
around where Rover might read
it, he is liable to misunderstand
my remarks. My reputation as
Dog’s Best Friend would surely
be jeopardized. And I mean no
offense to dogdom by my stick
ing up for the dignity and
rights of people.
