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.” MOUNT DE SALES ACADEMY Situated on the Heights of Macon, Georgia.

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. . . . Msgr. Baker, Famed Friend of Poor, Dies PRIESTS TAKEN FROM TRAIN AND MURDERED Other Barbarous Outrages Reported by Refugees (Continued From Page One) 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. FR.

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.

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.
