Exile Of Pro-Catholic
Ex-President Was
Factor In Peru Crisis
By Father Vincent T.
Mallon, M.M.
(N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE)
LIMA - The exile of former
President Manuel Prado, who
showed special friendship for
the Church during his term in
office, has again focused at
tention on Peru’s political cri
sis.
President Prado was forced
out of office July 18 by the
military junta now ruling this
South American nation. He was
held on board a Peruvian war
ship until his term expired on
July 28. The next day he was
released and left for Europe.
During his term, which start
ed in 1956, he helped to make
government lands available for
the building of Church-run
schools, hospitals and other
charitable institutions. He gave
every facility to encourage for
eign missioners to work in
Peru. He fostered and secured
legislation to give the vote to
Religious for the first time
in the country’s history and to
allow foreign-born priests to
become bishops here.
Foreigh diplomats stationed
in Lima are giving Archbishop
Romulo Carboni, Apostolic
Nuncio to Peru, credit for pre
venting reprisals against the
former President. Newspapers
here carried photographs and
stories on the visits to the
junta by the Nuncio during Pra
do’s imprisonment, and inform
ed sources indicate that the
Nuncio convinced the military
government that it would be
easier to secure recognition
by foreign powers if it did not
act harshly.
Prado, although he favored
the Church, was elected in 1956
only with the help of APRA
(American Popular Revolution
ary Alliance), founded in 1924
by the radical leader, Victor
Haya de la Torre. Over the
years APRA had swung from a
position on the far left to mid
dle-of-the-road policies, but it
has remained a secularist party
which not only ignores the
Church but also wants to see
it less influential in Peruvian
life, particularly in the edu
cational, social welfare and
health fields.
APRA is a major factor in
the nation’s current political
crisis, which grew out of its
June 10 presidential elections
in which no candidate won
enough votes—a third of the
total—to be elected. The pre
sence of seven candidates made
it almost certain that no one
could win.
Haya, however, looked like
the strongest possibility in the
campaign before the election.
But he was bitterly opposed
by the Army, not so much on
ideological grounds as because
many officers had been killed
in an APRA uprising 30 years
ago. Thus even before the elec
tions, the opposition began
claiming fraud because it was
afraid Haya would win and want
ed to lay the groundwork for a
future voiding of the election.
Publicly, the Church stayed
out of the campaign, although
the small and poorly organi
zed Christian Democratic party
did its best to represent itself
as the voice of the country’s
Catholics. It won only five per
cent of the vote.
Few upper class Catholics
backed APRA, although the par
ty’s rank and file look on them
selves as Catholics for the most
part. They appear to be no more
or less Catholic than the rank
and file of other parties. Per
uvian politics, however, is
built mainly on the basis of
personalities rather than well
organized parties. The only or
ganized party in the country is
APRA.
Most Catholics of the upper
class, which has long ruled
Peru, lined up behind either
former President Manuel Od-
ria or Fernando Belaunde,
founder of the new moderate
leftist Popular Action party.
Catholics backing Odria re
membered that he had favored
the Church during his adminis
tration and were also a bit afraid
of leftists who were running for
Congress on Belaunde’s ticket.
Congressional elections were
held in conjunction with the
presidential balloting.
Belaunde, however, won some
Catholic support by promising
to introduce needed social re
forms.
A small group of intellec
tual Catholics backed the Chris
tian Democrat candidate, Hec
tor Cornejo Chavez.
Next deadline: Sept. 6,
Fr. Lawrence A. Lucree,
P. O. Box 2227,
Savannah, Georgia
The June 10 voting was order
ly, but cries of fraud grew loud
er after APRA won 14,000 more
votes than any other party even
though it fell short of the third
of the ballots necessary to elect
Haya. According to law, the
newly elected Congress, which
contained many APRA mem
bers, should hav e elected a
president after the failure of
the popular voting.
But the Army then warned
President Prado that it would
never accept Haya as president.
After Haya made a public state
ment that because he had been
noted by the Army he would
step down to maintain peace,
it became clear that the Army
was opposing not only Haya,
but all APRA members of the
new Congress. High ranking
officers tried to persuade Pra
do to void the whole election.
Prado, however, insisted that
the elections were essentially
honest and valid.
So on July 18, the Army
staged a coup and placed the
military junta in power under
the leadership of Gen. Ricardo
Perez Godoy.
It did so despite several pleas
to uphold the constitution made
by Juan Cardinal Landazuri Ri
cketts, O.F.M., Archbishop of
Lima. The Cardinal’s last plea
was made during a personal
visit to military leaders at 2
a.m., the morning of the coup.
The country was shocked by
the coup, which was made with
very little violence. Yet Peru
vians have accepted it stoically.
Those who opposed it have ac
cepted it as an accomplished
fact and adopted the attitude
that there is no use crying over
spilt milk.
The activity of Cardinal Lan
dazuri during the crisis is a
clue to the mantality of many
leading Peruviana, although the
Cardinal carefully avoided all
political interference. On sev
eral occasons before the re
volution occurred, the Cardinal
had pleaded that the impasse
be solved by constitutional
means.
However, on July 27 he an
nounced that he would give the
junta his cooperation so that
the country might be' ruled
peacefully during its time in
control. Although clearly op
posing the coup in principle,
he accepted it as a reality
that must be dealt with pru
dently.
The armed forces have been
the traditional supporters of
the Church in this country,
even though many of the high
er officials are known Masons.
The position of the Church,
then, in regard to the new gov-
ernemtn is not expected to
change radically. However, the
Army is also the traditional
supporter of the capitalistic
cclass, and some churchmeh
feel that the period of
the junta’s rule will be a set
back to the campaign to ach
ieve agrarian reform, revised
tax programs, lower interest
rates, improved housing and
other needed social reforms.
These curchmen believe that
if such reforms are not at
tained, the danger of commun
ism will be increased and the
threat to the Church will be
come more dangerous.
The junta, however, is tho
roughly anticommunist and ob
servers here think it is sincere
in its promise to grant free
elections within a year.

Cavaliers of Macon who will meet St. Joseph of Atlanta in Macon on Saturday, September
8 at Porter Stadium. - (Photo by Gregg Puster)
De Sales Cavaliers Prep For St. Joseph’s
MACON - The De Sales Ca
valiers will field a football team
with experience, a lot of en
thusiasm and confidence from
last year, but will not have the
depth in reserves that lets a
coach "breathe easier" once
the game whistle has tootled.
Coach Charley Hudson said
his 27-man squad is in good
condition, with only a few minor
injuries to show for two weeks’
hard work.
With scrimmage set for the
next two weeks, Coach Hudson
expects to pick his starting
lineup for the St. Joseph
(Atlanta) game here on Sep
tember 8, but he added that
"every man on the squad will
get plenty of game experience
before we open Region 6-C
play with Putnam County."
The Cavalier backfield is
fairly well set with Edgar Hat
cher and Andy McKenna at quar
terback. Both are fast and
better - than - average passers
and both show promise as bro-
kenfield runners, especially in
returning kicks.
Clem Dennis at fullback,
with Bill Burritt, who will be
playing his first season of foot
ball, and Fred Howe, Harold
Garcia and Danny Doyle as
halfbacks give the Cavaliers
a fast and shifty set of ball
carriers.
The flanks will be well pro
tected with Johnny Lackay,
Charley Schroder, Andy Duffy
and Wayne Montgomery. Danny
Doyle may see some service
as an end as well as a back
and Coach Hudson indicated
Montgomery may be used as
reserve defense strength in the
middle of the line.
The tackles will be the Ca
valiers’ real strength, and the
play of Jimmy Union, shifted
from guard, Hickory Schepis,
and Terry Cassidy has been
the highlight of the early sea
son practice sessions. This
190 - pound - plus trio, with
Johnny Konnenkamp, a lanky
agile six-footer, promises to
make the De Sales outfit tough
on all ten opponents this year.
Billy Cassidy, the center who
has been outstanding the past
two seasons as linebacker, will
be spelled by Tommy Cook who
is rated more of an alternate
than a second-string pivotman.
The guards are Coach Hug-
son’s biggest problem. With
Richard Hicks the only experi
enced guard on the squad, the
Cavalier mentor has been work
ing with Ricky Burritt, who is
also playing his first season
of football, John Cook, Benjie
Smith, Tony Faiia and Shaun
Mahar.
"What we lack in weight at
guards, we hope to make up
for in speed," Coach Hudson
said, "and with two games be
fore we open Region play, we
just may come up with the com
bination that will add strength
to our reserves."
Coach Hudson said he won’t
even "name a tentative lineup"
for the St. Joseph game until
he has seen the Atlantans play
play today when the Flying
Hawks open their season.
“After two weeks of prac
tice, I am well pleased with
the progress we have made,”
Coach Hudson said. "With the
schedule of five region games
against some mighty aggressive
clubs, I am neither pessimis
tic nor optimistic about what
we’ll do this season.
"We’re going to play each
game as it .comes up. What we
learn as each game is played
will determine how far we will
go this year. We have a club
that has speed, several backs
who could cut loose and break
a game wide open. It looks
like we’ll have scoring punch.
How well our reserves hold out
is the big question right now."
Joe Genone, who heads the
season ticket committee of the
De Sales Athletic Association
reports that pre-game sales
have been up to expectations
for the four home games the
Cavaliers will play in Macon’s
Porter Stadium.
"With three Saturday con
tests, two of them at night,
and a Thursday night game,"
Genone said, "we believe we
have a program that should
please football fans who may
have a favorite but who like
to root for all the home teams."
Red Espionage In U.S. At All Time
High, Head Of FBI Tells Congress
WASHINGTON, - Communist
syping activities are at an all
time high.
This revelation comes at a
time when Khrushchev pro
fesses to want peace with the
United States and publicly ac
cuses this country of ill will.
In testimony before a Con
gressional committee given last
January but just now made pub
lic, J. Edgar Hoover, director
of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, said:
"For over three decades the
Soviet Union has directed a
vicious, concerted espionage
attack against the United States.
This activity continues unabated
and, in fact, throughout the his
tory of the world, espionage has
never been emphasized to the
extent and with the financial
dedication now being practiced
by Soviet-bloc countries."
No phase of American activity
has been immune to Soviet-bloc
intelligence attempts," Hoover
told the Congressmen. Their
"targets have been all-encom
passing," he added, and have
included aerial photographs,
maps and charts of our major
cities, and technical and un
classified information concern
ing nuclear weapons, planes,
ships and submarines. They
have had "prime interest" in
military bases, missile sites
and radar installations, he add
ed.
At almost the same time
this information was made pub
lic here, Khrushchev was tell
ing 12 U. S. secular newspaper
editors visiting the Kremlin
that he didn’t want to boast,
but the Soviet Union has a
global rocket that cannot be
destroyed by any anti-rocket
device, and also has an anti
missile that "can hit a fly in
space."
The U. S. newsman were ask
ed to hold up reports on their
interview until an official tran
script could be released. The
transcript was released three
days later, and the Americans
were quick to note it varied in
a number of ways from the
actual interview. The trans
cript toned down Khrushchev’s
language and altered the form
of questions in some cases.
This was seen as an effort
to withhold information from the
Russian people. The transcript
omitted part of a question -
whether the Russian people
knew the Soviet Union had con
ducted 40 nuclear tests in the
atmosphere last fall.
While the revised transcript
demonstrated the Red regieme’s
ability to feed the Russian
people only what it wants them
to know, one of Khrushchev’s
observations during the inter
view had wry humor in the light
of the Hoover testimony.
Khrushchev reiterated his con
tention that inspection is not
necessary to a nuclear test
ban by nations, and made it
plain Soviet Russia would not
agree to espionage in its terri
tory.
The FBI chief told the U. S.
Congressmen that the number
of officials of Soviet-bloc coun
tries assigned to this country
has been increasing over the
years, and added that "our
investigation and penetration of
Soviet clandestine intelligence
collection has clearly es
tablished that these official per
sonnel assigned to the United
States have been extensively
used for espionage purposes."

'Can I Win Friends For
God And His Church’
HUGH LONG
There are many ways in which
I can win friends for God and
His Church. The first one is
to be good myself. I can fol
low the ten commandments of
God and the six laws of His
Church, I can begin and end
each day with prayers and
faithfully live the life of a
good Catholic boy by going to
Mass regularly and receiving
Our Lord in Holy Communion.
* * * *
THE BULLETIN is pleased
to print the winning essays in
the Savannah Diocesan Council
of Catholic Women’s annual es
say contest. This essay is by
Hugh Long, student at Saint
Mary’s School, Augusta. Hugh
was winner in Group III.
* # * *
The second way in which I
can win friends for God and
His Church is by giving good
example. This means that
whether I am in school or
at play I can practice the gold
en rule and try to be a Christ-
bearer. In this way, others will
want to be like me. Maybe they
will ask themselves, "What is
the Catholic Church?" They
will want to know about it and
will come into it.
The third way in which I
can win friends for God and
His Church is by reading and
studying more about God and
His Church. Then I will be able
to explain to others what my
religion means to me.
