Conditions in Yugoslavia
Ap-
LONDON — (Cable, NC)
pealing to the United Nations to
hold an inquiry into “crimes
against humanity’’ committed by
the Tito regime in Yugoslavia
through its persecution of the
Church, His Eminence Bernard
Cardinal Griffin, Archbishop of
Westminster, told a large Catholic
rally here that the situation is
reminisccent of that existing in
Hitler Germany and is a danger
to world peace.
The Cardinal charged that Tito's
regime “put to death 186 priests
without trial, sentenced and'exe
cuted 32, jailed 85 for life and
forced 409 into exile.’’
All Catholic associations have
been suppressed and communist
organizations substituted, the Car
dinal told the meeting, held in
Loffdon’s Palace theatre. Volun
tary social work has been strictly
banned and severe penalties im
posed upon those violating the
edicts. The personal liberty of
Bishops, priest^ and Religious is
under constant threat, he added.
“It is known,’’ the Cardinal said,
“that.200 priests, three vicars gen
eral and Archbishop Stepinac are
now in prison. Most of them are
imprisoned at Stara Gradiska, the
Dachau of Yugoslavia.’’ The Car
dinal charged that the number of
priests sentenced to death and ex
ecuted by civil and military au
thorities was greater than that of

Sisters From Charleston
Form Largest Group at
C. C. S Summer School
(Special to The Bulletin)
NEW ORLEANS, La.—There is
Significance in the fact that about
a third ol' the educators taking
the Catholic Committee of the
South Summer Seiiool courses are
laymen. They and the Religious
enrolled should return to their
elementary school teaching jobs
with strengthened concepts of the
regional needs of'the South.
Ninety-nine of the summer stu
dents are enrolled for . Catholic
Committee of the South lecture
and workshop courses. The larg
est group is-nine Sisters of Our
Lady of Mercy from Charleston,
S. C.
The Summer School is on the
campus of Loyola University of
the South here, and courses are
conducted jointly with the uni
versity.
Father Frederick O. Hughes,
Superintendent of Parochial
Schools at Pensacola, Fla., is in
charge of the Summer School.
Its faculty includes educators from
all parts of the country such as
Sister Alice Joseph O. P.. M. A..
Adrain, Mich.; Father Francis
Crump, O. M. I., S. S. D„ Wash
ington, D. C.; Sister M*ry Mary,
H. H. M., M. A., Cleveland and
many from Southern educational
centers.
Southern schools have special
problems not to be f ound in
schools of other regions. Ail
Catholic Committee of the South
! professional courses are pointed
toward solutions for the problems
of Southern teachers and school
administrators.
In addition they are devised to
refresh teachers in their knowl
edge and approach of inherent
Southern cultural backgrounds,
natural environment and human
resources.
The Summer School will con
tinue until July 30.
Outdoor Repository of
Marian Congress at
Ottawa Demolished
MRS. MATTHEW DEAGAN
FUNERAL IN SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH, Ga.—Funeral ser
vices for Mrs. Ellen Muller Deagan
wife of Matthew D. Deagan, who
died July 18, in West Palm Beach,
Fla., were held from the Saered
Heart Church here.
Formerly of Savannah, Mrs.
Deagan is survived by her hus
band; a brother, Joseph Muller, of
West Palm Beach; and .two sis
ters, Mrs. Wilbur Mason, West
Palm Beach, and Mrs. Julius J.
Lax, Norfolk. Va.
• OTTAWA.—The great outdoor
repository erected in Lansdowne
Park here for the Marian Con
gress was demolished within two
weeks after the congress, which
saw more Ilian 100,000 persons
gathered at the repository.
Final disposition of the 20-foot
hand-carved statue ot the Blessed
Virgin which surmounted the 115-
foot tower above the main altar
of the repository has not been def
initely announced, but it ’s re
ported (hat it will be kept in a
place of honor in Ottawa Diocese. ’
The Marian Congress was held in
connection witli the centenary of
the founding of the Diocese, and
the statue when Humiliated at
night could be seen lor miles.
The replica of the statue of Our
Lady of the Holy Rosary, which
occupied a place of honor in the
Peace .Chapel, has been returned
to the Marian shrine at Cap de la
Madeleine, where the original
statue stands above the main al
tar.
Hundreds of thousands of per
sons took part in the ceremonies
whicli marked the month-long
journey of this statue from Cape
de la Madeleine to Oltawa for the
Marian Congress. The statue en
route to Ottawa visited 350 par
ishes. In Ottawa the statue was
placed in front of tlie Peace Chap
el altar, where Mass was said every
half hour, day and night, during
the five-day Marian Congress. Af
ter the Congress the statue was
escorted back to Cape de la Made
leine with the same ceremony
which marked its arrival.
The 10,000 benches that filled
Lansdowne Park in front of the
open-air repository and gave seat
ing accommodation for 79,000 per-
sons, have been disposed of to a
number of commercial organiza
tions. A contractor has purchased
all the lumber used in the erection
of the repository and will turn it
back into the building trades.
Ottawa, which saw its normal
population of something close to
200,000, more than doubled dur
ing the Marian Congress, appears
strangely quiet now after the
great activities of the Congress.
But residents, non-Catholie as
well as Catholic, will long remem
ber this great religious event.
Among tile many thousands of
Catholics who attended the Mar
ian Congress was Father Edward
P. McGrath, S. M., pastor of (he
S^red Heart Church, Atlanta.
