New Typographical
Form for “America”
Famed Catholic Review
Presents New Appearance
(BY N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK.—With its July 4 issue,
America, a Catholic review of the
week edited here by the Jesuit
Fathers, presented a new format, ar
rangement of contents, cover design
and a new paper stock and with the
July 11 issue a new type face, utiliz
ing the Regal front.
An article by the Editor-in-Chief
entitled “Thoughts on the New De
sign,” appearing in the issue, em
phasized “the effort made by the
artist and the editors to manifest
the Catholic principles of philosophy,
the order, the discipline, the vitality
of Catholic life, in the art of typo
graphy.” “The modern expression of
the arts,” the article said “has too
completely been utilized by the mat
erialists. The older expression has
been too much imitated by the Cath
olics of our generation. We believe
that America must, typographically,
be a thing of beauty, and that its garb
must show forth the strength and the
boldness and the youth of the Cat-
olic Faith that invigorates it.”
Acknowledgment is made of the
work of John J. A. Murphy, an in
ternationally known artist, who de
signed the new form for America.
Pointing to some of Mr. Murphy's
achievements, the editor of America
says “Catholics should become
aware of a great contemporary artist
and philosopher.”

Father Coughlin Apologizes
for Name Called President
Bishop Gallagher Says One
Should Go Slowly in Criti
cizing President and ‘Not
Use Words Loosely’
BISHOP MICHAEL GALLAGHER,
of Detroit, in Rome for his regular
Ad Limina visit, stated after an au
dience with the Holy Father that His
Holiness did not bring up the sub
ject of Father Coughlin.
Vatican officials had been quoted as
being “deeply pained” by Father
Coughlin’s language in criticizing
President Roosevelt in his Cleveland
address.
FATHER COUGHLIN made public
a letter in which he apologized to
the President for the use of the term
“liar” in reference to the President,
which he said was used “in the heat
of civic interest in the affairs of my
country and in righteous anger at
the developments . . . that have con
tributed largely to want in the midst
of plenty.” Father Coughlin said
that he was first, last and all the time
a priest and would obey whatever
orders came to him from Rome.
BISHOP GALLAGHER stated that
he had expressed to Father Cough
lin his disapproval of his language.
“The President”, the Bishop added,
“may make promises or policies and
then find himself unable to carry
them out- But does that make him a
liar? What do we know of the in
fluences affecting the President’s
work? There are many things that
could intervene between the time a
man says something in public life and
the time for action. Those things
should be taken into account before
criticizing I feel that in all criticism
of the President, one should go slow
ly and not use words loosely.”
Bishop Gallagher previously said
that headlines in American secular
newspapers to the effect that he was
opposed to the re-election of Presi
dent Roosevelt are misleading. He
said that the fact that he upheld the
right of Father Couglin to refuse to
support President Roosevelt as a can
didate according to his best judgment
does not mean that he personally had
announced himself as opposed to
President Roosevelt or any other
candidate. As a matter of fact, he
said, he prefers President Roosevelt’s
attitude on the money question to the
gold standard proposal of Governor
Landon.
THE CHARLOTTE NEWS editorial
ly comments on the report that the
Pope might silence Father Coughlin
by saying that Americans have a
tendency to rush to the support of a
chastened inferior and that “the
Pope, no matter how much of a ‘pain
ful impression’ his worker in the
American vineyard has given him
will help none by trying to help. . . .

who have succeeded in leaving Mad
rid and Barcelona have reached Paris.
They report that hundreds of priests
have been killed at Barcelona. A
foreign Jesuit in civilian clothing had
a regular passport. As he was em
barking, he was asked for it- He had
had the imprudence to place the pass
port in his breviary. The Revolu
tionaries, seeing the book, paid _ no
attention, to the passport and killed
the Jesuit.
Streets are strewn with the bodies
of priests and Religious, the refugees
say. If there are any priests alive
in Barcelona no one could tell where
they are.
At Madrid rfTany priests and Reli
gious are imprisoned in secret places.
Since July 25 no Mass has been cele
brated there. The Revolutionaries
found at the Bishop’s residence a list
of private homes having oratories.
All of the oratories have been de
stroyed. All priests and Religious
who succeeded in fleeing, had to
leave without losing a moment and
without carrying anything with them.
Some of the Sisters arrived here
wearing the nurses’ uniforms they
had on at the moment of departure.
The Most Rev. Jose Cartana Ingles,
Bishop of Gerona, and 17 of his
priests crossed the mountains on foot
and have reached Perpignan.
The Most Rev. Matteo Mugicary
Urrestarazu and Harcellino Olae-
cheary Loizago, Bishops of Vitori and
Pamplona respectively, have signed a
statement condemning the attitude of
Basque Catholics who, in order to ob
tain independence for the Basque
Province, signed a pact with the Reds
and are fighting in their ranks against
their brothers in Navarre- They are
declared dishonored by an alliance
with parties that burn churches and
massacre priests. A number of cor
respondents for French dailies report
that apparently the Basque Catholics
wish to renounce this odd alliance
and rejoin their brothers.

PRIESTS SLAIN IN SIGHT
OF TRAIN’S PASSENGERS
(Cable, N. C. W. C. News Scrivce)
MARSEILLE, France—Refugees ar
riving here from Madrid gave graphic
accounts of the terrorism that has
gripped that city since the outbreak
of the civil war in Spain.
One refugee told of seeing nine
priests taken from the train on which
he was escaping, near Aicabete. The
priests, he said, were slain in sight
o f the passengers. Another, an
American, said his nephew, a Span
iard, was taken from a train near
Madrid and shot to death.
Others told of frequent shootings
that have occurred in the streets of
Madrid. Bands of Communists, they
said, are executing all persons sus-
VERY REV. FLORINDO RUBINI,
Prefect General of the Camillian
Fathers, who was visiting the houses
of his Order in Spain when the revo
lution broke out and who was in
Barcelona when the terrorist cam
paign began has arrived in Rome and
told of the brutal murder of 13 Car
melite Religious, five diocesan priests
and six laymen, who were slain with
axes by a mob which invaded a Car
melite monastery. After the killing
of the Friars, he said, the blood-
crazed mob invaded the cemetery of
the Monastery of St. Dominic and dug
up recently buried bodies which they
nailed to the walls, announcing they
were doing so to make room for other
priests who were to be killed.
RELIGIOUS of St. John of God in
Rome have received word that the
asylum for poor children which they
conduct at Calaselles, near Barce
lona. have been occupied by Com
munists. All of the Religious, num
bering 18, are reported to have been
shot, with the exception of one, a
native of Argentina, who is said to

since, his recovery was almost mira
culous.
After his ordination, on March 19,
1876, Father Baker came to St. John’s
Protectory, Lackawanna, as assistant
to the Rev. Thomas F. Hines, found
er of the institution. After several
years’ work with the orphans and
unfortunate boys, Father Baker was
sent to Corning but returned to
Lackawanna in 1882 upon the retire
ment of Father Hines, and was
placed in charge of the institution.
As the years went by the needs of
his institution grew and there was
a constant struggle to supply the
means to fill them. Typical of the
almost miraculous answers to his
prayers was the gas well, drilled in
1891, which still supplies his numer
ous institutions with fuel. Earler
and later attempts to tap this gas
supply were unsuccessful, yet to
day, after 45 years of constant use,
it shows no signs of giving out.
Among the institutions which have
been erected by Father Baker are
Our Lady of Victory Basilica, Trade
Schools Home, Orphan Boys’ Home,
Infant Home, General and Mater
nity Hospital, farm buildings, gym
nasium, home for nurses, Working
Boys’ Home and several smaller
buildings.
His greatest undertaking was Our
Lady of Victory Basilica, a national
shrine that attracts thousands of
visitors each year. It was completed
shortly after Father Baker celebrat
ed his golden jubilee and was dedi
cated on May 25, 1926.
Father Baker was made Vicar
General of the Diocese by Bishop
Colton in 1903 and was reappomted
to that post by Bishop Dougherty
and Bishop Turner. In November
1904, Pope Pius X made him a Do
mestic Prelate. In 1922 he was made
a Prothonotary Apostolic. Four hun
dred thousand people filed past
Monsignor Baker’s coffin as he lay
in state.
