Catholics Open $2 Million Building Drive:

' Would Provide for Churches, Schools

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER Times Church Editor

Archbishop Paul C. Schulte announced the opening today of a drive to raise $2 million for new Catholic chtirches and educational| buildings in the Indianapolis Archdiocese. ; The archdiocese has earmarked $200,000 of the sum as an outright grant to provide a church and hall in Bloomington for Catholic students now attending Indiana University. The remainder of the $2 million will become a fund upon which new, parishes will be permitted to draw| for loans, without interest for 10] years, for their emergency build-| ing programs, the archbishop said. Thus the money used for loans would become “a sort of revolving fund to care for future emergency building,” as the archbishop envisions it. Plans for conducting the drive and for the use of the funds raised will be outlined in detail in a pastoral letter written by Archbishop Schulte. It will be read from the pulpits of all orchdiocésan churches Sunday morning. Archbishop's Letter

“During the 10 years, from 1929 to 1939, you, the faithful of the Diocese of Indianapolis, paid out more than $2 million in interest on parochial debts,” the archbishop writes. “Twenty monumental churches or schools or 100 neat stone mission churches could have been built for that sum. Yet, that $2 million did not even build one small chapel. It was spent in the payment of interest alone. We do not want that to happen during the decade 1949 to 1959.” Archbishop Schulte described the congested condition in the archiocesan church serving the 1600 Catholic students in Bloomington. He predicted that in the! next six years, 100 schoolrooms!

TOKYO, Nov, 12 — The architect of the 1941 “day of infamy” at Pearl Harbor, Hideki Tojo, was sentenced today to death: by hanging for his leading role in the Japanese murder of millions.

Slayers of Millions

Japan as a nation of aggressors was damned by the 11-natjon court in perhaps the strongest terms ever levied against a people. The Japanese were branded as slayers of millions in an aggressive pattern of conquest. Her soldiers, even to officers’ rank, were condemned as cannibals and as perpetrators of every manner of outrage and torture. No date was set for execution
