Last week, His Eminence, born a Sudeten Austrian, preached a plain-spoken anti-Nazi sermon at a youth service at St. Stephen's, exhorted 10,000 worshipers to "give outward testimony" of their faith. The "outward testimony" soon took the form of Catholic demonstrations before Nazi sympathizers. The next evening Nazi groups struck back.

Born to a Baptist minister in Italy in 1885, Dr. Chiera studied theology but plumped for archeology, joined the University of Chicago staff in 1927. Thin, slope-shouldered and bearded, he resembled the popular idea of a scientist, was noted for boundless energy and painstaking preciseness in his work...
