(N.C.W.C. News Service)
SANTIAGO, Cuba — San

third time since Premier Fidel
Castro came to power almost
two years ago.

refer specifically to commun
ism in the Castro regime, or
ganized bands of Castroist
hecklers tried to prevent the
reading of the pastoral letter.
They crowded into Santiago
Cathedral and sang revolu
tionary songs during the Mass
es (Nov. 13) at which the pas
toral was read.
The 76-year-old Prelate’s
letter, entitled “Rome or Mos
cow,” exhorted Cuban Cath
olics to rely on their strength
as “good soldiers of Christ” in
the battle against communism.
The Archbishop said Cubans
should not allow the battle
against communism to be
fought alone by the United
States and its economic power.
“Gold cannot buy and can
non cannot destroy ideas,”
Archbishop Perez Serantes de
clared.
He asserted that the essen
tially spiritual nature of the
struggle against communism
makes it a battle between
Rome and Moscow rather than
between Washington and Mos
cow, but he lauded the U. S.
government for battling com
munism.
Archbishop Perez Serantez
saved Fidel Castro from a fir
ing squad when he was: about
to be captured by pursuing
soldiers of Fulgencio Batista
in 1953. He welcomed Castro’s
overthrow of Batista but he
was the first prelate on the
island publicly to denounce
communist infiltration of Cas
tro’s government. That was in
May of this year. In October,
Archbishop Perez Serantes
accused the Castro regime of
trying to destroy Catholic in
fluence in Cuba and replace it
with communism.
While the Archbishop’s lat
est attack on communism was
being read in Santiago’s ca
thedral, members of the civil
ian militia which Premier Cas
tro has marshaled in Cuba
drilled ostentatiously in the
square outside.
They used weapons recently
delivered from communist
Czechoslovakia.
The militiamen have been
armed with automatic wea
pons, light artillery and arm
ored cars provided by the com
munist government.
The government-controlled
Confederation of Teachers’ Un
ions denounced Archbishop
Perez Serantes’ pastoral letter.
The same day the pastoral
was read, a pro-Castro priest
told a rally in Havana that all
Catholics should show their
disapproval of Masses that
were to be offered the next
day throughout Havana for

President of the Student Un
ion at Santa Clara University

RUSSIAN PROJECT FOR BLIND
Three fifteen blind students now engaged in a two year
course for the translation of spoken Russian from record
ings into written English, are shown demonstrating their
work at Georgetown University in Washington. The new
course is being conducted by the Jesuit University under a
$43,000 grant from the U. S. Department of Health, Educa
tion and Welfare. Father Edward B. Bunn, S.J. (center),

ago for anti-Castro activities.
Father German Lance urged
Catholics to “sing the national
anthem when that occurs.”
The government organized
the rally to halt the flow of
technicians and professional
men from Cuba. President
Osvaldo Dorticos T o r r a d o
spoke at the meeting, which
was attended by thousands.
Father Lance also criticized
Catholic prelates in Cuba for
hostility to the Castro govern
ment. He said: “No one is a
good Catholic if he defends in
terests contrary to Cuba and
good Christianity.”
High school students defied
warnings from the: Castro re
gime and went on strike the
following day in memory of
the executed student leader.
Army officers teaching at
the Finlay Institute for med
ical technicians warned their
students that they would be
expelled if they took part in
the memorial demonstrations.
They also warned that the stu
dents would be liable to
charges or counterrevolution
ary activity — which can be
punished by death.
Meanwhile, Castroist news
papers denounced the authori
ties of Villanueva University
for expelling pro-Castro stu
dents. The students had pub
licly and in print accused an
official of the Catholic uni
versity of preparing to close
the university and to blame
the closing on Castroist “per
secution.”
The expulsion order was
signed by Auxiliary Bishop
Eduardo Boza Masvidal of
Havana, who is also Rector of
the university.
The Castroist Union of Uni
versity Students replied by in
viting the 17 expelled students
to attend Havana University,
which is controlled by the
government.
Villanueva University was
founded 15 years ago by
American Augustinian priests.
It has been a target of Cas
troist propaganda attacks.
The expelled students later
accused active Catholic stu
dents both in Villanueva Uni
versity and Havana University
of supporting counterrevolu
tionary activities.

Jewish Merchant
Bringing True
Christmas Spirit
NORTHPORT, N. Y. (NC) —
A Jewish merchant is bringing
the true Christmas spirit to
Main Street in Northport this
year.
Milton Jacobs, a hardware
store proprietor who heads the
local Chamber of Commerce,
is inducing an ever-growing
number of businessmen to dis
play a Nativity scene in their
store windows.
Mr. Jacobs admits he was
doubtful about the project at
first. “Few people realize how
much a merchant depends
upon Christmas business,” he
said. “And to ask him to give
up his street window display
of merchandise in his best sea
son — well. I liked the idea
but I was skeptical.”
Mr. Jacobs approached his
fellow businessmen cautiously.
When nearly all of them ex
pressed interest in the Christ
mas project, he enlisted the
aid of local priests and min
isters and talked the board of
directors of the Chamber of
Commerce into sponsoring the
plan.
The day after Thanksgiving,
store owners will remove dis
play merchandise from their
windows and turn the win
dows over to the Chamber of
Commerce. The chamber is as
signing a different decoration
team to each store. The teams
are made up of students from
school art classes and members
of art clubs and similar or
ganizations.
Each team will be given a
specific subject, with pictures
and other help supplied by the
clerical advisory group, and a
budget for materials. Cash
prizes are being donated by lo
cal organizations.
For the first time since mod
ern merchandising hit Main
Street in Northport, the usual
Christmas display of toys,
clothing and luxuries will be
replaced by scenes depicting
ancient shepherds, the star of
Bethlehem and the Infant Sav
iour born in poverty.

THE YANKEE FROM TEN
NESSEE, by Noel B. Gerson.
(Doubleday). 382 pp., $4.50.
(Reviewed by Msgr.
George J. Flanigen)
In this biographical novel
of Andrew Johnson the author
has achieved his purpose “to
put flesh on the spare bones
of the Johnson we know in
our histories.” It is a very
readable volume and, although
Mr. Gerson professes that he
is not writing history, the
book throws much light on
“the tragic era” in our coun
try’s history.
Here are re-created the
events of the stormy career of
our seventeenth president; his
rise from among the “poor
white trash,” his struggle for
education and his political ca
reer as alderman in Green
ville, Tennessee, governor,, con
gressman, vice-president un
der Lincoln and his fight as
president against the Radicals.
The impeachment trial of
Johnson is vividly portrayed.
Andy Johnson emerges as a
self-made man of great phy
sical and moral courage. His
forthright opposition to the
Knownothing movement forms
an interesting chapter. Cath
olic readers will perhaps wish
that mention might have been
made of Johnson’s defense of
the Catholic Church, has at
tendance at Catholic services
and his sending his children to
Catholic schools.
The author is a former news
paper man and now a script
writer for radio and television.
This is his thirteenth historical
novel.
SAINT JEROME AND HIS
TIMES, by Jean Steinmann,
(Fides) 1959, 358 pp., $5.95.
(Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber)
It is quite safe to surmise
that Jerome would have been
difficult to live with; he is
even considered tQ be the pat
ron saint of ill-tempered peo
ple. (No pushing, please!) In
the same breath, it is said that
he saved culture. He lived
(A. D. 340-420) at a critical
time in the life of the infant
church. Surely God in His wis
dom cast Jerome in his own
special mold so that he might
the better meet the needs of
his time and render great good.
For those who have been
persuaded to think that a saint
lives an untroubled life, hands
folded, eyes upraised, or even
downcast, this book will be a
bit unsettled. Therefore, it
should be read.
As usually illustrated, Je
rome’s companion is a reclin
ing lion; more appropriately, it
might be a fast flying quill.
Study, translating and writing
were his tri-cornered aposto-
late. His greatest work was the
translation into Latin, the Vul
gate, of the Bible from original
sources. He used his talents to
convert great masses of foreign
language materials into the
Vulgate whereby they became
available and useful to the
Latins and thereby to Western
culture generally.
With his truly massive con
tributions to culture and to the
church, the author still can
write “It is true that Jerome
had few original ideas.” But,
he adds, “To translate the
Bible is to relive it and to
bring it to life again. It is to
converse with the Incarnate
incarnated in human speech
. . . a man could hardly aspire
to a greater glory than that of
being the interpreter of God.”

FUNDAMENTALS OF THE
LITURGY, by John H. Miller,
G.S.C., Fides, 1959, 531 pp.
Father Miller’s large book—
over five hundred pages — is
obviously primarily designed
to serve the seminarian. But
for such laymen as have a
curiosity about the scope and
background of the liturgy, this
fine book is very satisfying.
A particularly interesting
aspect of this book is the au
thor’s careful treading be
tween true liturgical practices
and the private devotions that
periodically threaten to engulf
not only laymen, but to some
degree some priests as well.
Without wanting to totally
discourage private devotions.
Father Miller emphasizes the
necessity to rule out such no-
venas and rosaries, etc., as
usurp the time that more
properly should go to an hon
est effort to follow the Mass.
From this text it may be in
ferred that the efforts of the
Church and her theologians
to wean the general populace
from practices that sprang up
generations ago. among a
widely illiterate society which
could neither read nor under
stand Latin grows ever more
stringent. We cannot imagine
a more desirable development,
particularly in these times of
political hysteria when the
Wind is full of absurd accusa
tions that the Catholic Church
encourages her faithful to be
ignorant and blind. Even
while these charges ride the
air numberless scholars such
as Father Miller are wholly
absorbed compiling multitudes
of scrupulously fact-filled
works in the name, of Cath
olicism. They pray for just
one reward . . . readers.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua —
Some 200 students of the
Christian Brothers’ school at
nearby Diriamba were re
leased unharmed when the
revolutionaries who held them
as hostages for three days sur
rendered to' g o v e r n m e n t
troops.
The 14 rebels who were
holed up in the school gave
up (Nov. 14) after the success
ful mediation of Bishop Oc
tavio Calderon of Matagalpa.
Bishop Calderon promised to
serve as guarantor of Presi
dent Luis Somoza’s promise
that the rebels would be con
ducted safely to a military
prison and would receive a
fair trial.
The 56-year-old Bishop ac
companied the revolutionaries
in the military bus that
brought them the 20-odd miles
from Diriamba to the prison
here in the capital.
The 14 rebels were part of
a larger revolutionary force
that had captured Diriamba
(Nov. 11). When national
guardsmen retook the town,
the small band seized the
Brothers’ school and its pu
pils.
