Question Of Red China
In U N. To Be Added To
Berlin Crises In Fall
RED PROPAGANDA CONFISCATED IN U. S.
By J. J. Gilbert
WASHINGTON (NC) — The
United States may face two
grave international problems
at the same time this fall. One
is the already developing
threat of a showdown in the
Berlin crisis. The other is the
constantly recurring question
of admitting Red China to the
United Nations.
Khrushchev has proclaimed
that he will act in 1961 to
bring the Berlin issue to a
head. Since it is thought that
he will wait until near the end
of the year to take his action,
neither the West nor the East
is eager to indicate its strategy
at this. time. By Fall, how
ever, the lines of action on
both sides may be taking
shape.
It will be about this time
that membership in the UN
will be sought once again
for communist China. This
proposal has been brought
up periodically since 1950,
the United States has con
sistently opposed admission
and it has been put off each
time. In late years the mar
gin of Red China's defeat
has diminished.
Something has happened
here to give the Red China
problem a premature stirring
up. This was the report that
the United States was consid
ering a novel, and daring, ap
proach to this problem when

it comes up again in the Fall.
The United States, it was as
serted, would propose the ad
mittance of communist China
to the UN General Assembly
while the Republic of China
retained its permanent seat on
the UN Security Council.
This would be a switch. But
it is explained that the pro
posal would be made with the
hope, and even full expecta
tion, that Red China would re
ject it. The advantage would
be, it was said, that the Unit
ed States would be relieved of
the charge of opposing en
trance of communist China
into the UN, and the Peking
regime itself would be blamed
for abstention.
When this report was pub
lished, it looked to some ob
servers here like a trial bal
loon the State Department
might have permitted to go
up. It was later reported, one,
that the State Department had
denied the report, and, two,
that the State Department did
not deny the plan was under
study. No one said the State
Department affirmed the re
port. A spokesman for the De
partment said simply that no
decision has been arrived at as
to how to deal with this ques
tion.
Both the Peking regime and
the free China government in
Taipei have vigorously con
demned anything that looks
like a “two China” arrange
ment in the UN.
But the question immediate
ly arises: What would happen
if this plan were advanced,
and Red China crossed up the
dope by accepting it? One can
only guess, but it would cer
tainly be bad in any event.
Those who urged that Red
China be recognized by the
United States and let into the
United Nations, contend that
by its opposition this country
tries to ignore the existence of
600,000,000 people on the Chi
na mainland. Opponents of
recognition have replied that
size does not legitimate evil,
immorality and tyranny.
President Chaing Kai-shek
of the Republic of China has
said in recent days:
"The so-called 'iwo-China'
concept is, to put it bluntly,
only wishful thinking enter-
tianed by neutralists who,
being ignorant and disre
garding moral considera
tions, hope to achieve peace
without paying any price for
it. Our friends in the United
States and other free coun
tries must realize that the
existence of free China is

based upon the conviction
that free society must in the
end triumph over the com
munist system of slavery.
The 'two China' theory to
tally negates this conviction
and would, therefore, de
prive free China of the only
basis on which its sacred
missions could be carried
out. Here it should be very
clear that the 'two China'
theory, whether or not ac
cepted by the Peking re
gime, would in effect facili
tate the Chinese commun
ist attempt to destroy free
China. Any arrangement de
rived from this line of
thinking, therefore, not only
will be totally unacceptable
to the government of the
Republic of China, but
should not receive the con
sideration of any responsible
quarters in the free world."

WITH RIGHT OF SUCCESSION
BISHOP SHEHAN BALTIMORE COADJUTOR
WASHINGTON — (NC —
Bishop Lawrence J. Shehan of
Bridgeport, Conn., has been
named Titular Archbishop of
Nicopolis in Nestum and Co
adjutor with the right to suc
cession to Archbishop Francis
P. Keough of Baltimore.
The appointment, made by
His Holiness Pope John XXIII,
was announced here by Arch
bishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apos
tolic Delegate in the United
States.
Archbishop Shehan returns
to the See and city in which
he was born. He becomes Co
adjutor to an Archbishop who
was born in Connecticut and
whom he once served as an
Auxiliary in Baltimore.
Born in Baltimore, Decem
ber 18, 1898, Archbishop She
han studied at St. Charles
College, Catonsville, Md.,
from 1911 to 1917; at St.
Mary's Seminary, Baltimore,
from 1917 to 1920, and at
the North American College
in Rome from 1920 to 1923.
He was ordained in Rome,
December 23, 1922, and took
the degree Doctor of Sacred
Theology from the Universi
ty of Propaganda Fide that
same year.
Returning to the United
States, he served in St. Pat
rick’s parish in this city until
he was elevated to the episco
pate in 1945. The newly-or
dained Father Shehan became
an assistant pastor of St. Pat
rick’s in 1923 when Washing
ton was part of the Archdio
cese of Baltimore, and was
named pastor in 1941. He held
several offices in the diocesan
curia during these years.
In the early 1930’s, then an
assistant archidocesan director
of Catholic Charities, the now
Archbishop was one of the

ferences, classes and recreation designed to give them a
glimpse of priestly life. (NC Photos)

leaders of a group which
brought about what has been
called the first application of
Federal funds for the relief of
the unemployed and needy in
the depression of that time.
Father Shehan was a spokes
man for a group of representa
tive citizens who appeared be
fore District of Columbia of
ficials and asked for aid, on
the grounds that ever-increas
ing demands and steadily de
creasing subscriptions were
making it impossible for pri
vate agencies to meet the
swelling tide of need all alone.
The Administration at that
time took the position that
such situations were the re
sponsibility of the several
States. But Congress voted an
appropriation of $6,000, in
view of the appeal, and, as
the District of Columbia is a
Federal jurisdiction, the ap
propriation became a forerun
ner of the aid later extended
on a broad scale by Federal re
lief programs.
In November, 1945, Father
Shehan was named Titular
Bishop of Lyda and Auxiliary
Bishop of Baltimore and of
Washington.
In December, 1947, the Arch
diocese of Washington was dis
united from the Archdiocese of
Baltimore. Bishop Francis P.
Keough of Providence, R. I.,
was named Archbishop of Bal
timore and Msgr. Patrick A.
O’Boyle, Director of Catholi
Charities of the Archdiocese of
New York, was named Arch
bishop of Washington. Bishop
Shehan continued as Auxiliary
Bishop of Baltimore and was
named Vicar General of the
archdiocese.
In September, 1953, the Dio
cese of Hartsford, Conn., was
elevated to the rank of arch
diocese, and two new dioceses
were established in Connecti
cut as suffragan sees. The new
dioceses were Bridgeport and
Norwich. Auxiliary Bishop
Lawrence J. Shehan of Balti
more was named the first Bish
op of Bridgeport.
Already well known as a
scholar, speaker and writer,
Bishop Shehan was installed in
the Diocese of Bridgeport on
December 2, 1953, and dedicat
ed his episcopate to the Bless
ed Mother. Archbishop Ke
ough, whom Bishop Shehan
had served as Auxiliary since
1947, preached the sermon on
this occasion. Bishop Shehan
said that in serving as the first
Bishop of Bridgeport he hoped
to pay back “some little of the
good which Connecticut has
bestowed on Baltimore in giv
ing us our own great Arch
bishop.”
Archbishop Shehan is Epis
copal Chairman of the Depart
ment of Education of the Nat
ional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence.
Archbishop Keough, to whom
Archbishop Shehan becomes
Coadjutor, is a noted orator,
exceptionally able executive
and Ordinary of the nation’s
oldest See. He was born in
New Britain, Conn., December
30, 1890. His record as a stu
dent at St. Thomas Prepara
tory Seminary, Hartford,
Conn., was so outstanding his
Bishop sent him to make his
higher studies at the famous
Seminary of St. Sulpice at Issy,
France. The outbreak of World
War I interrupted his studies
in France, and he returned
home to complete his prepara
tion for the priesthood at St.
Bernard’s Seminary, Rochester,
N. Y. He was ordained June 10
1916, in St. Joseph’s Cathedral,
Hartford, Conn.
Named Bishop of Providence
in February, 1934, and conse
crated on May 22 of that year,
Bishop Keough was the fourth
Ordinary of the diocese that
comprises the State of Rhode
Island. He was named Arch
bishop of Baltimore on Novem
ber 29, 1947.
AGANA, Guam — (NC) —
Guam remembered Father Je
sus Baz a Duenas, the island’s
outstanding hero - martyr of
World War II, on the 17th an
niversary of his death.
Hundreds from all parts of
the island made a pilgrimage
to St. Joseph’s church in Ina-
rajan, where Bishop Apolli-
naris Baumgartner, O. F. M.
Cap., Vicar Apostolic of Guam,
presided at a special Solemn
Memorial Mass for the priest-
hero.
During the Japanese occu
pation of Guam in World
War II, the boyish looking
priest was taken prisoner. He
was accused of hiding a U. S.
Navy officer and also of
withholding info r m a t i o n
about the movements of
American troops.
Father Duenas was sub
jected to tortures by the
Japanese, but steadfastly re
fused to talk to his captors.
On July 12, 1944, Father
Duenas paid with his life for
his loyalty to the U. S.—he
was beheaded by the Jap
anese. Shortly after his
death, American forces re
took Guam and several naval
officers who had been be
friended by the priest emerg
ed from their hiding places
in caves.
In urging his people to at
tend the memorial service for
Father Duenas, Bishop Baum
gartner asserted:
“Father Duenas was an out
standing Guamanian priest
whose courage and true pa
triotism serve as a reminder to
the present generation to fight
for their freedom lest they lose
it, and to walk the way of de
mocracy lest they forfeit it.
“Never has the free world
been closer to danger than at
this moment. Communism hon
ors its martyrs and takes great
enthusiasm for their form of
life each time their memory is
kept. Can those who love free
dom be less enthusiastic about
the lives of their martyrs or
afford to let their enthusiasm
turn from ideals to mere bac
chanalian enjoyment?
“When the day comes that
the free world is less devoted
to principles of its way of liv
ing than are those who are
from the opposition, the free
world will be in a sorry plight
and in the very grave danger
of losing what it claims to
cherish.
“Father Duenas was a good
priest—and he was, at the
same time, a good patriot. He
knew what it meant to suffer
for the cause he loved and to
sacrifice even his life for his
belief in its right.”
Today not far from ihe
spot where the priest-hero
was beheaded there stands
the Father Duenas Memorial
High School and Junior Col
lege.
