,In Opposing Mail Order Filth

WASHINGTON (NC)-"I sin­ cerely believe that trash such as this serves only one purpose-to 'incite more sex crimes."

-"It is shocking to know that even little children a're able to obtain such filth just by answer­ ing an ad. . . How many more sex crimes must be committed before the public wakes up?"

-"To my mind ihis is rde­ graded---and filthy trash. Why should it be in the mail boxes of people who are trying to be decent?"

These are excerpts from three of the 50,000 letters of protest and complaint received annually by the U. S. Post Office Depart­ ment in regard to one ·problem­ the direct mail trade in por­ nography which is centering more and more on the nation's chlidren.

Mail order pornography is relatively new. Postal officials say it has become big business only in the past 10 or 12 years.

While its true proportions are

guesswork for the most part, available facts indicate that it is very big business indeed: ~ig Business -A U. S. Senate committee investigating juvenile delin­ quency estimated that dealers in obscene material do an annual gross mail business of between 300 and 350 million dollars.

-Postal officials say these promoters distribute as many as' 100,000 of their circulars daily.

-One New York dealer, at the time of his conviction on obscenity charges, carried on a business worth $270,000 annu­ ally.

-Postal meters showed the same dealer sent out $3,000 worth of mail every month.

Between the First Sunday of Lent, February 23, and Trinity Sunday, June 1, all Catholics must receive Holy Communion.

This reception of Holy Com­ munion during the Easter Time is, of course, the minimum, and the Church encourages her members to receive Holy Com­ munion as often as they attend the Sacrifice of the Mass.

Maryknoll Doctor Rides Ambulance As 'New York Surgeon 'and 'Doctor NEW YORK (NC) - When, around 2 A. M., or so, Sist.er Ann Veronica steps aboard an ambulance to go screaming through New York's streets to where police stand guard over lIOme unfortunate who needs a doctor-she steps one pace closer to her goal, tending the sick in the world's mission fields.

She is a Maryknoll Sister, aerving as resident surgeon at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York's lower, west side and often on emergency night duty. St. Vincent's, conducted by the Charity Sisters of Mount St. Vin­ cent,New York, is one of the largest hospitals in the city. It stands as a bulwark of charity and mercy in a tragic section of the city. Sister Ann Veronica averages six trips. a, night to care for men, women or children whose life, for some reason or other, has flickered low in the

night hours.

VIOLENCE, PAIN, AND MERCY: . When tragedy strikes, Sr~ Ann Veronica, M.D., never knows where next she will be-performing surgery in a dark ,alley, giving emergency treatment in.a tenement, or tending to a child's misery with measles. For such is the life of a resident · physician and Maryknoll nul). assigned to ambulance duty · at New York's St. Vincent's Hospital. Here, she is pic­ tured, following a cryptic report on New York's Police 'radio, giving aid to' an unidentified male in a flophouse. : Sr. Veronica, a native of Argonne, Wise., says of her night's · work in. lower Manhattan, that policemen are her best friends.

Dr. Rogers Stresses Glorious

Tradition of Catholic ·Colleges

WORCESTER (NC)-A Har­ vard University professor de­ clared here that Catholic col­ leges and universities are "ex­ ceptionally well situated" to take advantage of the "missed opportunities" of secular insti­ tutions. ,Dr. Francis M. Rogers, Har­ · Yard professor of romance ,lan­ guages and former dean of'the Harvard graduate school, spoke .'t' a regional meeting of Delta Epsilon Sigma, national Catholic honor society at Assumption 'College. Dr. Rogers ~ a' native .

01. New Bedford.

Dr. Rogers listed the "missed opportunities" as the insufficient · "education of our youth for re­ ~nsible world citizenShip"; "the failure on the part of ou:r Ilreat colleges and universities '0 cooperate with the Depart­ ment of State -and the United States Information Agency in their tremendously impo~nt work of cultural relations abr~ad"; "the' failure of our . educational system (in) the teaching of geography," and "the conscious preparation" of eollege. teachers in adequate Dumbers: World View "What a wonderful opportun­ Ity Catholic colleges have to do good," Dr. Rogers declared.

"You are the heirs of a glorious tradition of international af­ fairs, of contact and mutual re­ ~ct between East and West, of yes, language and area studies.

As Catholics you have the world view by definition" and so in­ evitably respect geography; and you have a time-perspective and 80 cultivate history."

Catholic colleges and universi­

ties have the tradition of inter­

national ecumenical service in .ituations involving foreign Ian,. pages, Dr. Rogers continued.

"They have additional great

assets that are, alas, apparently lacking in. other centers of study.

One of them is intellectual fear­

lessness," he said.

Dr. Rogers'said that the secu­

lar tradition allows itself "the

luxury of all' but ignoring great 8egments of knowledge: religion, tbeolog;y', Catho1icisin."

"I believe it can be charged,· he observed, "that the secular tradition,' while protesting vig­ orously against' censorship in any form, exercises a fierce kind of censorship, the censorship of se­ lection, the selection involved in the organization of a course and a program of' courses. Whole bodies of knowledge - useful, interesting, and beautiful knowl­ edge are often omitted en bloc. The impoverished student never knows the difference."

Dr. Rogers said he is not "so innocent as to believe that in fact' all Catholic C<!lleges and universities are living up to their potenthilities and their traditions."

"If I have one criticism to make of American Catholic col­ leges," he said, "it is that they assiduously copy many of the worst fea tures of secular educa­ tion. You do not have enough confidence in yourselves and in your ·own glorious traditions.

"You dismiss Catholic theolo­ gy with a mere two semester hou!"s over three or four years, out in the, fringe, added on to some 15, 17, 19 hours of subjects that often are identical with what is found elsewhere.

"Because you do' this, your students occasionally conclude that theology is of secondary importance," Dr. Rogers stated.

she knows that ills of the soul are more tragic.

15 Doctors She is one of only 15 Mary­ knoll Sister-doctors. This is a small number out of the 1300 in the ranks of the missionary sis­ terhood. Medical work is just part of the program of their mission works. Schools, social service centers and catechetical works engage the majority of Maryknoll Sisters.

Another is Sister Maureen Thomas, Ann Marie Higgins, daughter of Mrs. Nora E. Hig­ gins, 967 Robeson Street, Fall River.

Sister received her M.O: at Georgetown' University and is presently interning at St. Eliz­ abeth's Hospital, Boston. Her brother is Dr. Thomas F. Hig­

gins, of Fall River.

Look Pictures A few weeks ago, Look mag­ azine photographer rode· the ambulance with Sister Ann Veronica. The result was a pic­ ture story in the February 18 issue of the magazine., When Veronica Mary Klus left Chicago in 1946 to enter Mary­ knoll at 19, she was like many another American Catholic girl, a young woman of high ,ideals.

She was graduated from St. Thomas the Apostie High School in Chicago and was a member of the honor soci'ety there. She was vice-prefect of the parish sodal­ ity. ' .

Her pastor, Father C. A. Mur­ phy, knew her well. In fact, she was his secretary and partial housekeeper to earn a little extra money. Both her parents

had died' when she was young and the fan:tily of seven children was brought up by' the oldest sister, now a Dominican Sister of

the Sinsin~wa, Wis., community.

ONE OF 15 M.D.'s: Many unexpected tragedies on low­ er Manhattan end in the operating room of New York's St. Vincent's Hospi­ tal, operated by the Charity Sisters of Mt. St. Vincent, N. Y; Here Sr. Ann Veron­ ica, one of I5'Maryknoll nuns to be a doctor, uses her skill to bring medical treatment to one of New York's un­ fortunates.

Sr. Veronica 'someday hopes to use her medical knowledge tending the sick in the 'world's mis­ sion fields. Photo courtesy, Look Magazine. NC Photo.

Nun and Doctor Ambitions?

Well, Veronica Klus thought she would like to be a nun-or a doctor. In the end, she decided to forego the medical profession so as to serve God with her whole heart. She said nothing about her lov·e for medicine. She would take what God gave her. In September, 1946, she donned the black dress of a Maryknoll postulant. , Two and a half years later, she was a full-fledged Maryknoll Sister. An excellent stenog­ rapher, she spent a year and a . half in office work at the moth­ erhouse. Then, she started col­ lege work, earned a B.S. degree . from Manhattanville College in 1952 and went on to Marquette University, for medical studies.

An M.D. in 1956, she began internship at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, N. Y. It was then decided by her superiors that Sister Ann Veronica should spe­ cialize in surgery. She came to

St. Vincent's in New York as

resident surgeon, slated to spend

.several years here before she

goes to the missions to serve the

poor.

For all these years of training, Sister Ann Veronicl:\ has been a missioner. In spite of preoccu­

pation with the ills of the body,

COLUMBUS (NC)-Catholics must begin to think "in terms of the common good of the total community," if they are to exer­ cise "influence in proportion to (their) numbers," Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati de­ clared here.

Archbishop Alter also asserted that the organization .which calla itself Protestants and Other Americans for Separation of Church and State (POAU) ia part of an anti-Catholic traditioD which includes the Know-Noth­ ing movement and the Ku Klux Klan.

He spoke at ihe installation of

the Most Rev. Clarence G. Issen­

mann as sixth Bishop of Colum­ bus. The ceremony was held ill St. Joseph's Cathedral here and was attended by 26 archbishop. . and bishops.

Bishop Issenmann had served for almost three years as Auxil­ iary Bishop of Cincinnati. As Bishop of Columbus he succeeds the late Bishop Michael J. Ready, who died in May, 1957.

Archbishop Alter said that the necessity for Catholic immi­ grants to defend their religioD and their national traditiona "made for a certain indepen­ dence, but also for a kind of inferiority complex."

Calling this attitude "a per­ fectly normal consequence . . • of past experience," the speaker pointed out that it "reveals it­ self even today in a tendency to isolate ourselves from the com­ ·munity as a whole."

"When we think of the public welfare," he said, "we are apt to think of it primarily in relatioD to ourselves."

,Archbishop, Alter declared

that Catholics have "effectively"

met the "first challenge" of "be­

coming assimilated and inte­ grated into the political, eco­ nomic and social life of the community."

In the process, he said, they have been obliged to "concen­ trate on the development of (their) own educational, char­ itable and social institutions."

Now, however, the Archbishop contended, it is time that Cath­ olics "begin to think also in terms of the common good of the total community. This is a .development which we must 'foster in the days llhead, if we are to exercise an influence· iD proportion to our numbers'!' "

At times the impression is given that an artist is hound by no conventions, let alone doctrines. The thesis is raised that a great artist is emancipated from moral 'codes, that his art is released by his indulgence in all of, the experiences of life. , Rouault gives the lie to all this. He was a deeply religious man w.ho found, in his Catholicism, themes that made demands on his proficiency, that gave his art a ,sincerity and an integrity and a beauty that make his posi­ tion in' the world of art forever secure.

WEDNESDAY _oSt. Nestor, Bishop-Martyr. He was Bishop of Magydos in Pamphylia and was 'crucified at Perge in the persecution under Decius, ilbout

The opening ,of the centenary observances at L?urdes, evoked much comment from .many quarters. Most of the ' reports confined themselves to the statistics-;-the gr~at number present at the Grotto on February the ~leventh, the pilgrims expected from all parts of the world as the' year goes on, the complexity of the problems in cari,:lg for these visitors. .

Occasionally one was given the impression that be­ . cause the' Blessed Mother appeared to Bernadette, at Lourdes, then Mary is receiving much added honor and The Yardstick devotion. The implication of certain articles is that Lourdes has added so~ething to Mary.

Work Must Continue Unhampered WASHINGTON (NC) - To-, day's "greatest Constitutional challenge is how religious groups can carryon their great work, particularly in education, unhindered by federal or state governments," a priest-lawyer declared here.

Father Joseph T. Tinnelly, C,M., asserted that "perhaps the most difficult talks" is persuad­ ing other5 of the need for pro­ viding "for cthe religious educa­ tion of future generations of God-fearing, law-abiding citi­ zens."

Dean of the law school of St. John's University, Brooklyn.• Father Tinnelly preached at the annual Red Mass celebrated in St. Matthew's Cathedral here to invok~ God's blessing on the ministration of justice in tbe new· judicial term.

Similar Masses are said in other parts of the cou~try. .

Archbishop Patrick A O'Boy~e of Washington was celebrant @f the Mass attended not only by mally· oflicials of the Federal government,but also by numer­ ous representatives of the diplo~ matic establishments of foreigJII countries here in the capital.

Chief Justice of the :rnited States Earl Warren attended, as did Justices William J. Brennan Jr., Tom C. Clark, William O. Douglas, John M. Harlan and Cbar.les Evans Whittaker.

Missions Look To Lay W~rkers CINCINNATI (NC) -'- Only; someone like Maryknoll Father Donald L. Hessler could picture the tropical hmgle' of southern Mexico~s Yucatan peninsula as a desirable pl,ace to live.

He has succeeded in doing so for 14 lay 'people from the' United. States. They have joined his remote mission there in the small town ,of Bacalar to help "establish the Church firmly" among the descendants ,of the ancient Mayan Indians, who: carve their dwellings out of the surroundirig m'aho~any forest.

On a visit 'here, Father Hessler explained, that his lay mission

helpers, who now include three ,married couples and eight single persons, 'have made it possible to "offer the people a full picture

of the ·Church."

The Michig~lI1-born missionary spoke .at Gabriel House, Cincin-, nati Grail Center, and visited Crusade Castle, national head­ quartersof . the 'Catholic' Stu­ 'dents'Mission Crusade.

Scars of Sacrifice

God Love 'You By 'Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. I

•

Lent gave Our Lord His Wounds; Easter gave Him His Scars.

But why in the glory of the Resurrection did He retain the red livid 'marks of nails and lance? After giving the earth the only serious wound it ever received, the wound of an empty tomb, He said to His Apostles: "Behold My Hands and My Feet."

He kept the Scars: 1) As so many mouths to plead before the Throne of His Father for the sins of the world.

2) To prove that He is both Priest and Victim. No scars, no prie'sthood, no offer­ ing of self.

3) To show all unbelievers at the Last Judgment: "They shall look on Him Whom they have pierced."

4) To show that suffering, trials and

cares are unavoidable. - H the Father did

'not spare the So·n. the Son does not spare us: "Take up your cross daily;"' 5) The scars are also sweet,fOrget-me­

BOYS LEARN HOW TO WORK AT ROME BOYS TOWN:' A year, learning how to, be a precision shop ma­ chinist prepared Julio, at top, to learn operation of, this lathe to make nuts and bolts. While at bottom, Vincenzo, also 'of Rome's Boys Town, established by Irish-born Msgr.

John~atrick Carroll-Abbing, paints the ceramic face of a Mardi Gras parade character. The face, which is really a flower vase, is the boy's ow!1 design, will later be SQld with profits split between the artist and Boys Town. These two activities are typical of those at the Institution. "We want these boys to learn to, work . . . and to learn the habits of work," says the Monsignor. Besides these tasks, there are also courses in electricity, carpentry, shoe making, ' wine making, farming and other activities. NC Photo.

Lion Line WILMINGTON (NC)-"I met a lion on the way to school and he delayed me."

A very poor excuse in this country, but it's fully accepted by parochial school teachers in Tanganyika, East Africa. That's

what Father Joseph Kelly of the Holy Ghost Fathers spid here.

And he should know" because his parish is on the slopeS of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Trclvel Tips For Pilgrims To Lourdes ROME (NC)-The central of­ fice of the International Com­ mittee of Our Lady of Lourdes Centenary here 'has issued travel tips ~for persons planning a Lourdes pilgrimage during the centenary year.

If you are going to Lourdes with an organized pilgri'!1age, most' of your problems will be solved by your travel agent.

But if you are making your own plans, th~ following infor­ mation will be helpful.

Air travel services direct from Paris to Lourdes and Brussels to Lourdes will be in effect during the Lourdes year. Formerly there were no flights direct to Lourdes.

In Lourdes' ·the pilgrim will find an information bureau at the entrance of the grotto area.

There will be persons there who can give information in any lan­ guage. Information bureaus are expected to be esta blished also in the railway stations of the principal cities of France.

A pilgrim's pass booklet, pro­ viding a number of benefits, should be in the possession of each traveler to Lourdes. Most of the travel age'ncies will be prepared to supply the passes to their clients. They may also be obtained at the information bu­ reau in Lourdes.

Identification The passes are' issued to indi­ viduals and are not. exchange­ able. They will serve as a means of registration and identification.

Upon presentation, they will ad;.. mit the bearer into the basilica, the theater and the museums at Lourdes. Reductions in train . fares and ·local transportation fares will also be given upon presentation of the pass. The price of the pass--Qne dollar­ will be used as the pilgrim's contribution to construction costs of the St. Pius X Basilica in Lourdes.

Re'quests for general informa­ tion, including inquiries about hotel accommodations, may be addressed in English to' the com­ mittee's office at Via Aurelia . 183, Rome.

I Jesuit Comments on· Red China's

Church Sees Danger In Guatemala GUATEMALA CITY (NC) ­ An agreement has been reached between the leaders of the two major parties,in the Guatemalan Congress to give the presidency of this Latin American republic "to Gen. Miguel Ydig~ras Fuen­ tes. . 'After a congressional count 'of the ballots cast in the January 19th ,election, it was announced that 'Gen. Ydigoras, candidate of the rightist National Democratic Party of 'Reconciliation, had led the voting but failed to get the 51 per 'cent necessary for elec­ tion.

However, Col. Jose Cruz Salazar Democratic Nationalist candid~te who placed second in 'the election, said that Gen. Ydi,.. goras should be given the presi­ dency.

The - Democratic Nationalist party is a moderate center party while' the third" running presi­ dential candidate, Mario Mendez Montenegro, ~ belonged to the leftist Revolution party.

Prior to the election the of­ ficial weekly paper of the Gua­ temala City, archdiocese, Verbum, warned: "No one can deny that the ex­ treme left or right cannot guar­ antee 'the respect and effective cooperation of Church and state. ,We have abundant proof from the past. Both extreme ideolo­ gies have become' actual dicta­ torships with resulting tragedy for the people ruled by them." ..

Author Asserts Protestants Aid Church Unity MILWAUKEE (NC) Al­ though the reunion of Christen­ dom seems remote'Jrecent devel­ opments in Protestant· groups encourage the' hope that such unity will be achieved, accord­ ing to a new book.

The opinion is expressed by William J. Whalen, assistant professor of English at Purdue University, in a book, "Separated Brethren," issued here by Bruce Publishing Company. The result of 10 years of research in the field of comparative religion, it makes a survey of non-Catholic religions, their tenets and his:' tory.

According to Mr. Whalen, large groups of Protestants now

THE ANCHOR,Thurs., Feb. 20, 1958

view the Catholic Church in a more favorable light. They re­ gard the present division of Christendom as a calamity and not a badge of honor or a tri­ umphant individualism.

Citing the mellowi~g attitude of Protestants as the bright hope for eventual unity, the book notes that recent trends in Cath-

olicism hav~ also helped to nar­ row the gulf between the groups.

It mentions the increased activ­ ity and responsibility of the laity, wider use of the vernacular in the liturgy, simplification of rubrics, and congregational sing­ ing as helpful steps toward achieving, Church unity.

Mr. Whalen says, however, that much of the responsibility of attracting Protestants to the Church rests with individual

Catholic laymen. He points out that well-trained laymen are needed to explain their belief intelligently and convincingly whenever they are called upon to answer questions about Catho­

licism. .The organization of additional Catholic information centers; the donation of books and 'gift sub­ scriptions of Catholic periodicals to libraries and secular colleges, are all helpful.

Father Chabot's topic will be "Is Marriage for You?" These conferences will be held during Lent, 'sponsored by the , Spiritual Committee of the Ken­ nedy Youth Center in coopera­ lion of the Fall River Diocese.

Miss Yvette Gagne and Mr. Normand ,Boulet, co-chairmen of the Youth Committee, wili pre­ lide. The c.oncept of marriage, marriage as a vocation, 'as.a sac­ rament, and the purpose and unity and indissolubility of marriage will be the main points of. discussion of the conference. , A question and answer period will conclude .the conference.

Registration will be held at the first session and attendance will be. 'checked at all conferences.

P~pe' s "Message Continued from Page One ."Now let.' us ask- you, dear children, .if Joseph was so' en­ gaged heart and soul in protect-' ing and providing for that little family at Nazareth, don't you think that now in Heaven he is the same loving father' and guardian' of the whole Church, of all its members, as he was of its Head on earth? We hear your an~wer: yes.

"And does he not know that, . oh so many of its children are terribl'y in need of help?

I . For Soul and Body "They need it for their souls -the grace of repentance, the grace of perseverance, the grace of humble. unstinted surrender to the hc~y will of God; and Joseph turns to Jesus, of old his Boy of Nazareth, and at once graces flow abundantly for the souls of -ner•.

"T.hey need help also .for their bodies; fathers are out of work, mothers are bending beneath burdens far too heavy, children are without sufficient food and clothing and medicines when ill; and Joseph turns to you."

In hundreds of instances throughout the country, the voice of the Holy Father was carried into Catholic 'school classrooms by means of public address systems and radio. The radio program was opened anrl closed wit!1 selections sung by the clioir of the Pius X School of Liturgical Music of Manhat­ tanville College, Purchase, N.

Bishop's ·Relief Continued from Page One Tape-recorded messages from John Davis Lodge, U. S. Ambas­ sador to Spain, and James D. Zellerbach, D. S. Ambassador to Ita'ly, were delivered here atthe Midwest meeting of diocesan directors of Catholic Relief Services - National Catholic Welfare Conference, worldwide relief and rehabilitation agency maintained by the U. S. Bishops.

The ,Bishops' 'Relief Fund Campaign has a minimum goal of $5 million this year and will be conducted under the auspices of CRS-NCWC in about 16,300 parishes throughout the nation.

More than, one' billion pounds of clothing; medicines and U. S. surplus foods were shipped overseas last year, it was ·re­ ported. Tile 1957 prog~m. it was stated, was twice as large as the combined programs con­ ducted by the Bishops' agency iii the first 10 years of its exist­ ence, from 1943 to 1953, when 495 million pounds of relief sup­ plies were shipped.

The total value of the 1957 program was fixed at more than $148 million. Since its founding in 1943, CRS-NCWC· has grown into the largest private agency of its kind in the world.

In addition to relief work, more than '42,000 refugees were re-settled in new. homes in the United States, Canada, Austra­ lia and other free countries dur­ ing 1957, it 'was' reported. Of more than 37,000 Hungarian refugees who came to the' Unted States in 1957 under President Eisenhower's emergency Hun­ garian relief program, more than 22,0,00 were resettled through the efforts of CRS-NCWC.

The distributors. of such ma­ terial, one Post Office inspector ,said curtly, are "greedy pro­ moters who don't care about subverting youth, so long as they can make a fast buck."

What Is' Done When ,parents write to pro­ test, \ they often indignantly ask why the Post Office Department doesn't 'do something about it.' . As a matter of fact, the depart~ ment is doing something.

Disadvantage The Post Office Department labors under heavy disadvan­ tages. its own .hearings are often lengthy affairs and a dealer, if the decision goes against hi~, still has the option of appealing to the courts.

Court action is even more un­ satisfactory. The reasons are .two: the nature of the laws and the nature of the courts.

Under current laws, persons who mail obscene material can be prosecuted only in the area where it was actually placed jn t!le mail. At present, that means New York and Los Angeles. . But it has been' pointed out that convictions on obscenity charges are seldom achieved in either New York or Lqs Angeles courts.

Bills Introduced Help may be on the way, though, in the form of legisla­ tion now before Congress. Bills have been introduced-by Rep. Emanuel CelIeI' of New. York and Rep. John Dowdy of Texas -which would permit persons who mail obscene material to be prosecuted where it is received.

However, even the passage of such legislation might leave the legal picture confused. This is because the precise position of the Supreme Court has yet to be determined.

Last June, in its Roth decision, the Supreme Court said the standard for'obscenity is: "Whe­ ther to the average person', ap­ . plying contemporary commun-' ity standards, the dominant theme of the material taken' as a whole appeals to the prurient in.terest." .

Postal officials say this defini­ tion "confirmed" the position their agency has taken for years.

But, in the same breath, they admit that subsequent Supreme Court rulings based on it are not in keeping with Post Office views.

Confusing Rulings Notable were two early Janu­ ary decisio'ns in which the high court reversed lower court de:­ cisions which had upheld postal bans on three. publications-two nudist magazines and a periodi­ cal which. designates itself as "the magazine for homosexuals."

The court did not explain its ruling, but merely cited the Roth decision. .

"We don't know what was in back of it," one postal inspector remarked candidly.

The Post Office Department is under constant harassment, too,­ ,by .the various civil liberties groups ,which claim, to smell potential 'censorship" in every ,move'to restrict the distribution of obscenity.

Post Office spokesmen refer to their efforts as a "hue and cry" and a '''smokescreen.''
