But it was announced immed iately that the Cardinal Arch bishop of Vienna would make a second visit to Hungary “in the near future," Cardinal Koenig made the 280-mile round trip to the capital of the communist- ruled country and back in one day (April 18). He had ann ounced a month earlier that he was going to Hungary to try to persuade Cardinal Mindszenty to leave sanctuary of the Amer ican legation where he has lived in isolation for six and a half years and go to Western Europe. THE 57-YEAR-OLDCardinal Koenig traveled to Budapest in a black Mercedes automobile, reportedly accompanied by two Austrian diplomats. He crossed the border point at Nickels- dorf at 8;30 a.m., and reached the U. S. legation on the Red capital's “Freedom Square” at 11 a.m. It was understood here that he stopped nowhere before going to the legation.

A legation spokesman said me rely: “Cardinal Koenig arrived today. He spent four hours in the legation." Cardinal Mindszenty, 71, fled to the legation on November 4, 1956, in the face of a com munist threat of death and w hile Soviet tanks were letting blood flow through dow ntow n Budapest in mopping up the short-lived Hungarian fight for freedom. The Cardinal Primate of Hun gary had been at liberty just four days since freedom figh ters had stormed the provin cial prison where he was held and released him. He was ser ving a life prison term for “crimes against the State." WHEN Cardinal Koenig call ed on Cardinal Mindszenty at the legation, Hungarian police were stationed in three automo biles across the street, as they had been night and day since the Hungarian Primate entered the five-story gray building 75 months earlier.

(NC) -- The restored Catholic alcoholic should make two retreats an nually, one religious and the other with Alcoholics Anony mous, a priest said here at the annual Pastoral Institute on Al cohol Problems. If he doesn't he may fall back into his old drinking hab its, said Father Ralph Pfau of Indianapolis, executive secre tary of the National Clergy Con ference on Alcoholism, which sponsored the institute. "I HAVE seen alcoholics whose drinking was arrested through AA rush back to the Church," Father Pfau said. “They would go to Mass re gularly and say their prayers every day, but they got away from A A. “Sometimes after 20 years such people take one drink— and they are off again. Cat holic members of AA should make both an AA retreat and a regular Catholic retreat an nually. They must remember that man is a whole person— and they must continue to de velop both sides." About 150 priests from throughout the country attended the institute (April 16), held under the patronage of Bishop Victor J. Reed of Oklahoma City Tulsa. FATHER Joseph Carton of Carmichael, Calif., told the de legates too many people “still have the wrong picture of the chronic alcoholic." “They think of him as look ing like an unmade bed—a one- man slum who spends his days staggering about the streets be gging the price of a drink be fore he finally submits to the prayer meeting at some settle ment house in order to get a bowl of soup and a place to sleep. "Actually," he continued, "only three per cent of the nat ion's five million alcoholics are of the skid-row type. The aver age alcoholic is still a mem ber of a respected family, but the quality of his work is deteriorating, his former friends are cool, his relations with his family are strained and his physical health is affected. "HE IS the victim of a dis ease which is a progressive one and which will lead to in sanity or untimely death if it is not treated. He is a drug addict as surely as the user of heroin—only his drug comes in a bottle." Father Francis Kelly of Jam aica, N. Y., said that a priest should be “careful, dedicated, considerate and very charit able" in handling an alcoholic who seeks his help. "Listen to him interestedly and impartially," he advised, "but with a noncondemnatory attitude. The alcoholic is very sensitive to outward reactions. He can very quickly tell whether you are favorable or unfavor able toward him. If the latter is the case, he will very quickly withdraw—and you will be un able to help him. "TO BE paternalistic or point out where he has done wrong will only point him furt her toward despair. Nor will the well-informed priest insist on abstinence merely through will power. Refraining from alcohol does not solve the psychological problems which drove him to drink in the first place. “The man who stops drink ing in this way," Father Kelly concluded, "is like the man trying to hold his breath. He can only hold it so long." Britain, India and the United States. The U. S. delegate, Ch arles C. Stelle, expressed gra titude to Brazil for having cal led the Conference’s attention to the encyclical. He said his government had already wel comed Pacem in Terris in a White House message, w hich he read into the Conference’s re cord. THE BRAZILIAN delegate, Alfonso Arinos de Melo Franco, said Pope John had acquired “an incomparable authority in our tormented century by means of his noble personal qualities and the spiritual preeminence of his functions." "The mild old man of the Vatican," he continued, “at tracts the confidence and hope of the world because he con fronts the conscience of the great powers with simple truths in simple words. He says what everyone thinks, with the exce ption of certain government cabinets, certain command rooms, certain political assem blies, or certain laboratories, where the destruction of world peace is carefully planned. "He tells us that without dis armament there will be no peace and the idea of security based on a balance of destructive forced in a perm ament pro gression is a senseless for mula. He shows us that the id eal of peace in security can be attained only by a growth of confidence, by the cessation of nucelear weapon tests, by real disarmament under effective control. "HE REMINDS us that the fundamental ideological cont radiction which divides the world today can find a solution only in an international instit ution strengthened in its means and functioning according to the principles of law and the rules of justice." The delegate added that "these ideas are those of the overwhelming majority of hu man beings, who watch, terror ized and powerless in the ric hest countries of the earth, the wastage of economic and scien tific resources in the folly of armament, while most of humanity vegetates in ignorance and poverty." College Award JERSEY CITY. N. J., April 18 (NC)—The Rerum Novarum Award of St. Peter’s College will be presented to Louis G. Seaton, vice president in char ge of the personnel staff for General Motors Corporation, at a convocation May 2. The award is presented ann ually to a Catholic who has distinguished himself in the field of labor-management re lations, FEDERAL OFFICIAL WASHINGTON (NC) — Docu mentary evidence has come to light showing that Venerable John Nepomucene Neumann, C. SS.R., fourth Bishop of Phila delphia, was a naturalized citi zen of the United States. Bishop Neumann will be beat ified June 23 in a ceremony in Rome. He will be the first male citizen of the United States so honored. Proof of Bishop Neumann's citizenship exists in the form of his passport certificate, dated October 13, 1854, and uncovered in the National Archives here by Father Michael J. Curley, C.SS.R. FATHER Curley, of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Monastery, Brooklyn, N.Y., is the author of a life of Bishop Neumann pub lished in 1952. The Redemptorist priest said It had been believed that Bishop Neumann was a naturalized citi zen of the U. S. but up until this time no documentary- evi dence of the fact was known. The passport certificate, notar ized by the Notary Pulbic for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvan ia, provides such evidence. Besides testifying to his citi zenship, the certificate contains a description of the Bishop, who was 43 at the time. It says he was 5 feet, 3 3/4 in ches tall, had a "high" fore head, hazel eyes and a "broad and short" nose. It describes him as having a large mouth, an "ordinary" chin, dark brown hair, a "dark" complexion and a "broad" face. Father Curley also uncovered in the archives an official's letter to Secretary of State W. L. Marcy which accompanied the passport certificate. The letter says the Bishop "would be pleased to have his title as Bishop of Philadelphia ex pressed in the passport." BISHOP Neumann was born in Parchatitz, Bohemia, on March 28, 1811. He came to the United States as a semina rian in 1836, was ordained the same year and was assigned to work among German Catholics in the Niagara Falls, N.Y., area. In 1840 he entered the Rede- mptorists and from then until 1852 traveled in many states giving missions and retreats and building schools and ch urches. He also served in Pitts burgh and Baltimore, where he was rector of the Redemptorist parish of St. Alphonsus when he was named Bishop of Phila delphia in 1852. In Philadelphia he established the country’s first diocesan school system and established the 40 Hours devotion on a per manent basis. He died on January 5, 1860. THE VATICAN’S Sacred Congregation of Rites in Febru ary formally certified the aut henticity of two miracles at tributed to the intercession of Bishop Neumann as a necessary step toward his beatification. Hie miracles were the cure of J. Kent Lenahan of suburban Philadelphia, who suffered a fractured skull and multiple in ternal injuries in a 1949 auto mobile accident, and the cure of Eva Benassi of Sassuolo, Italy, of acute peritonitis in 1923. Bishop Neumann will be the third U. S. citizen to be beati fied. The first was St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, whom the Ch urch recognized as a saint in 1946. Mother Cabrini, a native of Italy, was like Bishop Neu mann a naturalized citizen. The first native-born U.S. citizen to be declared "blessed" was Mother Elizabeth Seton, found ress of the Sisters of Charity in the United States, whom His Holiness Pope John XXIIIbeati fied in ceremonies in Rome March 17.

LOUIS -NC— A high Federal official urged Catho lic high school educators not to abandon low - income urbam areas where he said there are Catholics who need their ser vices most. Undersecretary of Labor John F. Henning spoke to the second of three general ses sions at the 60th anniversary convention of the National Ca tholic Educational Association Henning citedfigures showing that markedly higher unemploy ment is found among low-in- come minority groups because they lack schooling. Predicting grave social tensions if this istuation continues, he appeal ed that Catholic high schools say in urban areas and help the community by educating teenagers of minorities such as Pureto Ricans, Mexicans and Negroes. Henning said there is a ten dency today for Catholic high schools to move to the flour ishing suburbs. He said this is due in large part to the move ment by the schools with the majority of American Catho lics who have gone from low- income to middle and upper- income groups. "But this is leaving behind millions of Catholics who are in great need of your services," he said. “Certainly it takes a sense of sicial conscience to say behind Named Consultor VATICAN CITY, April 18 (NC) —His Holiness Pope John XXIII has named Ukrainian Rite Ar chbishop Josyf Slipyj of Lvov, who reached Rome February 9 after 18 years of Imprisonment and exile in the Soviet Union, a consultor of the Sacred Con gregation for the Eastern Chur ch. in urban areas," he said. "But whether you like it or not you are facing the social crisis of our time. “In a historical sense, be cause Catholic education’s vitality came from its struggle to help a lower income group, you would be abandoning your tradition if you choose the eas ier way."
