News Service) Serious criticism of President Roosevelt’s action in releasing Earl Browder, the Communist leader, from prison where he was serving a four-year term for per jury, is made in editorial com ment by prominent secular news papers. “The freeing of Browder,” says The New York Times, “will, of course, be linked in every one’s mind with our relations with Rus sia. But our alliance with Russia is purely military. Russia’s domestic affairs are her own. Our domestic affairs are our own. The entire nation is whole-heartedly for all- out military aid to Russia. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the release from prison of an American citizen who has been convicteu of perjury against his Government. The way to help Russia is to send with all possible speed and in the greatest possible amounts the military equipment she needs. It helps neither Rus sia nor the cause of national unity to interfere with the normal course of justice for reasons of political expediency”. The “Times” notes that the President offered two main justi fications for his action in releasing Browder’s “long sentence” was “by way of penalty imposed upon him because of his political views”. The paper says it is, doubtful whether either of these expecta tions is justified. “So far from removing the stigma of political prejudice from the case, the Presi dents intervention strengthens the charge”, the editorial says. “Whether or not Browder’s sent ence was lengthened because of his political view’s, it seems clear that it has now been shortened because of them”. “As for the promotion of national unity”, the paper adds, “it is our guess that the release of Browder wil have the opposite effect”. “The Washington Post” declares ti’.at Browder’s release “is not likely to satisfy the Communists”, and “has already brought criticism from some of those w’ho wanted to keep Mr. Browden behind prison bars because they regard him as a menace to the country”. The editorial also asserts that “the President s statement in commut ing Mr Browder’s sentence to the iime already served tactily recog nizes that a Federal Court was unduly severe in passing judg ment upon him because the group he represented was in acute dis favor”. The paper then notes that the President “attempted to justify the release of Mr. Bowder on the ground that ’will have a tendency to promote national unity’. In other w’ords. political considera tions entered into the release of the Communist leader as w’ell as into his sentencing”. Westbrook Pegler, noted col umnist. says In his syndicated col umn that release of Browder, whom he called “one of the fore most pro-Axi* collaborationists during the life of the Berlin- Moscow compact”, establishhes the principle that “the politics of a criminal may be weighed in his favor”. “This is a political communta- tion”. Mr. Pegler asserts “as the White House statement admitted in the remark that Browder’s libera ticn would have ‘a tendency to promote national unity’. That was equivalent to saying that Browder was given his freedom so as to quiet the political clamor of his followers who, incidentally, are all sworn enemies of the form of government provided by the United States Constitution”. ‘Under this principle”, the col umnist adds, “any public enemy serving a thoroughly just and well-deserved term might be re leased in response to a demand by an organized following.” - Jesuits Take Over Scranton University (By N. C. W. C. News Service) SCRANTON, Pa. — The Uni versity of Scranton, a diocesan in stitution which has been conducted by the Brothers of the Christian School <\ has been taken over by the Society of Jesus, the Most Rev. William J. Hafey, Bishop of Scran ton, announced this week. The Bishop’s announcement, published in the Catholic Light, official organ of the Diocese of Scranton, states that the change has been necessitated by the fact that the Christian Brothers have been unable to spare enough of their members to staff the univer sity adequately and that the change has been motivated by the desire to maintain “the high stand ards, of the University” and to en able the institution to prepare for the program expansion “planned when war has ended w’ith a vic tory of peace.” The Bishop’s announcement points out that not only will the Jesuits of the Maryland-New York . Province of the Society of Jesus staff the university but the control of the institution will be vested in the Province. The transfer of ad ministration marks the fourth group to conduct the university since its founding in 1892. Dioces an priests staffed the university when it first opened and they were followed in control by the Xaver- ian Brothers. After a year under the Xavierian Brothers, the Broth ers of the Christian Schools took charge. Until now, however, it has remained a diocesan institution. In his statement, Bishop Hafey pays tribute “to the many years of devoted service rendered to the Diocese of Scranton by the Chris- ~ tion Brothers,” adding that “the memory of their untiring labors for the youth of the diocese will ever be cherished by the alumni, students and their parents as well.” The Rev. W. Coleman Nevils. S. J., former President of George town University, has been appoint ed Acting President of the Uni versity. CONFIRMATION IN DIOCESE OF RALEIGH RALEIGH, N.
