Catholics Observe
St. Benedict Day
I _____
VATICAN CITY (JP)—Pope Pius
XII issued a letter yesterday re
calling the life of St. Benedict of
Nursia, founder of western monas
ticism, and calling upon all Cath
olics to emulate his example.
The encyclical—dated March 21,
feast day of the saint who died
March 21, 547, and whose 14th
centenary is observed this year—
also is a plea for the rebuilding of
the noted abbey of Monte Cassino,
destroyed during the war and of i
which the Pontiff wrote:
“Practically nothing else sur-j
vived from the destruction except:
the sacred crypt in which the rel
ics of the holy patriarc are pre
ciously kept.”

long period of time, but that her
reluctance to take part fully in
world economic activities is seri

izations.
On the other hand, it was said,
the United States is playing an
important role in all of these or
ganizations despite fears expressed
in some quarters that this country
is veering toward economic na
tionalism.
Russia has refused to join such
key organizations as the interna
