Al my side in the car sat Dr. on. John, slightly disguised with glasses and a pipe. It was bitterly told and the freezing customs offi- ct-rs who recognized my car waved me through. Close by the Victory column I stopped. Tears were ilreaming down Dr. John's cheeks.

Let me disclose some facts about my connection with Dr. John.

views somewhat out of proportion and deliberately avoided anything that had to do with his personal affairs.

I had a feeling that something was wrong. I expected that he would let me know when he found the situation ripe for whatever he had in mind.

GUARDED INVITATION

At a meeting with State Sec- retary Dr. Strauss, from the fed- eral ministry of justice, I asked him what would happen if Dr. John reappeared in West Ger- many. Well aware that I often saw John, Dr. Strauss said:

"Tell him that he can return without risk. He will probably not be arrested but, naturally, we shall have questions to ask."

I passed the message on to Dr. John.

Late last October we met at the East Berlin Press Club. Dr. John brought along a person known to both of us. He told me'the Rus- sians had turned down a proposed Copenhagen visit:

r ”They are afraid that I shall jump off the wagon in Copen- hagen.”

I asked him if he had ever thought of doing so.

Retired Priest Dies In Hospital gin Winnipeg

The parishoners of Gratid Riv- er were saddened when the word was received by Mrs. A. Cum- mings that Rev. Father Alex- ander Wilfred Mclntyre had pass- ed away Nov. 13th. at a Hospital In Winnipeg at the age of sixty- four years.

Father Alec. as he was fami- liarly known to all, was the son of the late Mrs. J. A. Maclntyre lnee Mary F. McDonald) of St. Andrews Parish. He was a neph- cw of the late Fr. Lauglilin Mc- Donald. Father Alex was born in Arlington, Lot 14. Later the fam- ily moved to Bayside to his grandfather's home.

On July 18. 1920, he was Or- dained to the Holy Priesthood by Bishop H. J. O'I..eary in St. Pa- triclt's Church. Following his ordination he went to Winnipeg with Archbishop Sinnett of St. An- drew's Parish, P. E. Island.

He was appointed to his first parish in Oct 1920 at Deborainc. Manitoba. In 1931 he went to Virden and in 1934 he took over the parish duties of Souris, Mani- toba, where he worked long and hard for his parishioners.

In 1944 he was appointed pastor of St. Victor's Church in Dauphin, Manitoba, where he will be re- talks. He served there until his retire-

PLEA FOR HELP

The next week we met again.

"I have to get out quickly,"- John said. "I can't stand it any longer. If my Wife had not encour- aged me between the lines in her letters from England I would have committed suicide long ago. Could you help me? They know your car at the Brandenburg gate. I think I have a plan that will work."

John then told me he had picked Dec. I2 because it was the day after the big Christmas fair had been opened on Marx - Engels Square. The merry-go-rounds and roller coasters were certain to draw a lot of attention and in- crease traffic across the sector line.

"We dare not' stay one night in West Berlin," John said. "They will go all out to find me and kill me. We have to get out of Berlin before my bodyguard can sound the alarm."

He was visited in his last re- maining hours by his Archbishop, the Most Rev. Philip F. Pocock. Father Alex was loved by all creeds for his charity and humble disposition. He never saw any one in want if it was possible for him to give a helping hand. especially the poor and feeble.
