He affirmed that the noticeable uncon cern about an atomic future which is darker than man has ever faced before amounted to folly. He urged laymen to in form themwlves on atomic matters after banishing the idea that the subject was cither "so secret as to defy study or too profound for general understanding." "The free world," he' continued, “must never relax its efforts for peace, but also must not slacken iti atomic arms one iota." "The ever increasing stockpiling of fis- i-ionable material behind the Iron Curtain leaves us no alternative,” he said, adding that the times call lor "prayer, power and prudence working together.” Applauding Manhattan's inauguration of u new science building, Murray said he was concerned that "Catholic representa tion today was so sparse i« ranks of our top .scientists," and he added— “To my mind, the time is ripening for a remarriage of religion and science with startling possibilities for a religous break through into the secular mind of the day . . .

Recently, veteran journalist Howard Whitman attempted to provide hope and encouragement to all in search of God by r vealing what people from every walk of life — from the atomic scientist to the housewife — believe about the existence 01 God and an afterhfe in hi-’ book, "A Re porter in Search of God.” The leading nations of the world possess EF.ON MAN ENJOYS COFFEE IN LIXEMBOURG I / i D, /.. -I..! -vl.^ aroAn, ;ion f.culty member, i. pictured above at ai. tour =■-* Eu -l£ St summer.
