REV. URUSOV SPEAKS
ON RED INFLUENCES
Rev. Andrei Urusov, S.J., director of the Catholic Rus¬
sian Center in San Francisco, spoke at Loyola Univer¬
sity on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 8:30 p.m. in Pereira Hall Au¬

Ideological Influences in American Education”.
RUSSIAN JESUIT <8> -

- — - — ■
The only Russian Jesuit priest in
the Western Hemisphere was born
in Moscow, Russia. He spent the
first years of childhood under the
Communist regime and lost his
parents with the coming of the
Bolsheviks to power, v Like the
whole Russian population at that
time he knew only the misery and
persecution which came with the
collapse of the Russian Empire. As
the son of Prince Alexander Uru¬
sov, from an ancient Russian fam¬
ily, he had no chance to survive
with decency under Communism,
so he succeeded in being sent
abroad; first to the Baltic States,
and later on to Western Europe,
where he, finished his studies. At
the age of 21 he joined the Catho¬
lic Church and went to study for
the priesthood at Rome. During
World War II he entered the
Jesuit Order, and was ordained a
priest. Born Russian Orthodox, he
kept the Byzantine Rite and was
assigned to the Russian group of
the Order;
sity. In 1955 he was in San Fran¬
cisco, California, where he acquir¬
ed an old house, and with the help
of friends and personal physical
work in three years transformed
the building into a Catholic Rus¬
sian Center. It contains now a
Chapel in honor of Our Lady of
Fatima, a Shrine outside under
the same title, a library with more
than 13,000 volumes, and about 200
periodicals from the Soviet Union
or about Russia for research pur¬
poses. Besides a spiritual and a
cultural aim the Center also helps
to take care of Russian refugees
with their various needs. There are

C.I.T. PROF. HONORED
LEARNS ENGLISH
He was sent to Ireland where
he learned English. His first as¬
signment as a Russian .Catholic
priest was in Shanghai where he |
helped to take care of the needs
of the Russian colony and also
taught Oriental Theology at the
local Jesuit house of Studies. In
1949 he helped to evacuate thou¬
sands of Russian refugees who
were fleeing the advance of Com¬
munists in China. He went with
those refugees to a camp in the
Philippines where sickness and
hardship interrupted his work.
Then he went to the United
States to Fordham University,
New York, where he helped to
establish an Institute for Russian j
Studies. He spent four years there
teaching and lecturing through
the country. He spent one year in
Canada lecturing from coast to

will be a lecture by the composer
and a soliloquy and dance for Vi¬
ola and Piano by Johann Harris

NEW POLICY PREVAILS
Loyola students may bring their
wives or dates free with the pur¬
chase of a student season or sin¬
gle ticket. Those who already have
a season ticket enjoy the same
privilege. Students from the girls'
colleges will be admitted free; if
accompanied by a date, and he will
pay for a single ticket.
en's group she was invited to at¬
tend a conference by the Los An¬
geles Committee for the Protec¬
tion of the Foreign Born. Her hus¬
band, who had been associated
with the FBI prior to the Second
World War, became suspicious
and informed the FBI of the in¬
vitation. The group was known
to be a Communist front organi¬
zation and the FBI asked Mrs.
Miller to volunteer as a counter-
spy. Thus began several harrow¬
ing years during which Mrs. Mil¬
ler became a dues paying Com¬
munist Party member and was ad¬
mitted to the higher echelons of
the Party. From the day she be¬
came a member she and her hus¬
band and their children lived in
constant danger.
“We never knew when we would
be spotted; we were investigated;
people dropped in on us unan¬
nounced any hour of the night
looking at the titles of our books,
checking on our friends, asking
questions. Paul would be stopped
on the street by a man he had
never seen before. ‘Give me your
billfold,’ he would demand. And
he would just stand there while
the man went through every card,
questioned every slip of paper.".
CONVICT REDS
After five years of working as
an undercover agent, Mrs. Miller
and her husband ~ were called to
testify before the Subversive Ac¬
tivities Control Committee. The
testimony of these two dedicated
Americans led to the conviction, of
several prominent Communist
leaders of the West Coast.
The vindictive Communists used
every method they could muster to
vilify and discredit the Millers.
They flooded their neighborhood
with letters, called them “inform
ers and thieves/' and accused them
of attacking innocent foreign-bom
citizens. They were harrassed by
threats, ananymous phone calls in
the night, they, were shot at, and
their children threatened.
In the hopes of promoting bet¬
ter attendance at the Spring Mu¬
sic Series and in the hopes of
promoting the cultural life of our
Catholic Coleges in Los Angeles,
a new policy will prevail for this
and the following two concerts.
A current and up to date
listing of the holdings of the
LOYOLA UNIVERSITY PER¬
IODICAL LIBRARY has just
been completed. You will find
this list on the desk adjacent to
the indexes. Miss Sommer is
eager to get this information to
all Faculty Members and Stu¬
dents. This should greatly facil¬
itate your search and the locat¬
ing of the references as found
in the indexes.
Faculty members may bring
their wives or dates free also with
the purchase of an adult season
or single ticket. Those who already
have a season ticket enjoy the
same privilege.
The Season ticket will include
performances for the next three
concerts, which are March 16 ;
Wednesday, April 24, which will
feature the Roth String Quartet
playing Quartets of Haydn, De¬
bussy and Beethoven; and Wed¬
nesday, May 8, which will be high¬
lighted by Quartets of Mozart,
Ravel and Beethoven, again by the
Roth String Quartet. The cost of
the Season ticket will be $3.75 for
adults and $1.50 for Loyola stu¬
dents. Single Concert tickets are
$1.50 for adults and 75c for stu¬
dents.
It was not until the Los Angel¬
es Examiner revealed the story
of the Millers that they received
the recognition their patriotism
and service has so rightly earned.
