The pontiff spoke through a 3,800- world encyclical letter addressed to all patricarchs, archbishops, bishops and priests of the Oriental churches loyal to Rome in the Soviet Union, particularly the Ukraine, and in Eastern Europe. J He urged them to tell the persecuted faithful remain steadfast to the faith and continue their resistance to the “enemies of Christianity’” “Indeed, they are persevering the heroic courage in their faith,” 'he said. z . - At the same he asked these “new martyrs” to pray for the* conversion of the very Communist leaders who had a new tempest, which seeks to overthrow, devast and destroy in misery, flourishing tphristian communities.” “Pray for those who persecute and ealuminate you,”\the\ 76-year-old pontiff wrote, quoting the evangelist Matthew. The encyclical, dated Dec. 15, was described by Vatican sources as “a conclusion” to the apostolic letter addressed by the P\»pe last July 7 to all the peoples of Russia.

Refreshments will jie served, during which time' a variety of specials will be given. The lie is ipvited to attend. He lamented the executions, imprisonments, calumnies and falsehoods imposed On the Oriental church behind the iron Curtain. “We know that \ today there are multitudes of the faithful in Oriental regions, who weep bitterly as they see their bishops put to death or dispersed dr so impeded that they are unable freely 4o address their flocks and, as they rightfully should, exercise over them their authority.” the letter said. Although the Pope’s message was specifically directed to the Oriental rite of the Catholic church in East Europe and Russia, be said he could not “pass over in silence” those persecuted of the Roman rite—regarded as a veiled reference Jo the difficulties encountered by the church in Communist Yugoslavia. „ \ The Oriental or Eastern rites of the Catholic church include Catholic Armenians, found in the Armenian, Ukrainian and other Soviet republics and other branches in Bulgaria, Romania and elsewhere behind the Iron Curtain. Their ceremonies, language and ritual differ, but they are loyal to Rome. DRAFT DODGER t Continued From Pa*e One) 8 $3.0(1'0,000 ; profit.

Officials Discuss Legislative Plans Adams County Clerk Attends Conference County clerk Ed Jaberg spent Monday in Indianapolis closeted with several groups of other county officials gathered to ( discuss legislative plans for the copiing term of the State legislature. Two points took priority, says Jaberg. The questions uppermost In the minds of county officials, concerning legislation; are the per diem law —providing for the rise in the cost of living—and salaries for deputies of county officials. The per diem today is $2, that is, county officials receive $2 a day over and above their statutory salary to take care of the Increase in the cost of living. Jaberg declared the county officials took the view thht $2 for a per diem is not enough to defray the cost of living these days. The amount that will be asked, said jaberg, was not decided but probably, he Indicated, the Qtficials would settle for a $3 per diem. The legislative committee representing the county men Jn the state law making halls is drawn from each separate county employes association. The- presidents of these associations gather —one to each county—gather and act as a body. Deputies pay will also fall Into the spotlight if the county officials have anything: to say about it. Jaberg says the officials maintain the pay for these workers is below standard in each town. Jaberg cited Decatur in point. He said the pay for -each deputy is lower than — say, that |>ay which Js. received by a comparable task at the Central Soya Co. or General Electric here. Ih a nutshell, said the Adhms county clerk, the county meri want "to bring the salaries of deputies up to that of each locality.
