"THE DEPUTY"

Pope Condemned In Play; Vindicated By Catholics "The Deputy," this year's most controversial play, was analyzed from the Catholic point of view by Father Valentine Healy of San Luis Rey College. Fr. Healy termed the play" ... an over simplified : weak play." In the play the implic~tion is made that the Pope was a passive accomplice of Hitler's Jewish extermination policy. Fr. Healy began with a synopsis of the play and pointing out the fact that it received violent reactions to its appearance in Berlin, London, Israel, and New York. In Europe the cast was bodily dragged off the stage by an angry audience. In New York the opposition was handled by Catholic, Jewish, and Nazi pick· ets who even aroused some trouble among themselves. 'ANGRY YOUNG MAN'

Fr. Healy suggested that, "Hochhuth was concerned with something more than a stage production, that the 'angry young man', wanted to jolt the complacency of the 1963 German economic wonder-worker." Pope Pius XII seems to be an

"Our generation is unique in that we can conceive a world without wars," was Dr. Harry K. Girvetz's lead comment concerning the situation our generation will be facing in the future. He stated that previously wars has been fought by the impoverished in a quest for wealth, by "mad men"

appropriate figure for this purpose and at this Hochhuth appears to have succeeded. Hochhuth depends on this oversimplification, as he does not condemn Hitler and his policy of Jewish extermination directly and this cancels his charge made against the Pope somewhat. THE INFERNO

John M. Schwarz, English instructor, commented that, "The Pope, by not following the rule of God and getting lost in the complexity of the secular world, may have consigned himself to the inferno." On the other hand one of Fr. Healy's main points was that the Pope might have worsened the (coiitinued to page 3)

ell Resig s As DLeader "I a sorry, but I must esign as Pre ident of the Young Democrats. My studies are requiring a great deal of my time and I am afraid that my position as President may suffer as a result," stated John W. Powell, at the April 7 meeting of the club. Peggy Biszmaier was elected the new President at the club meeting on April 10. When Mr. Roy A. Archer, Political Science Instructor, was asked about Miss Biszmaier's qualifications, he replied, "She has been quite active in the Young Democrats since its formation, and for this reason knows every aspect of the club and how it is to be run." OBJECTIVES SIGHTED

"My main objective will be to carry on where the past President left off. I hope to aid in the efforts to obtain a speaker from the 'far left' to present a full picture of both factions. The 'far right' having been represented by John Rousselot," said Miss Biszmaier. She continued to say, "It was through the work of Jack Powell that the Young Democrats Club was chartered with the California Federation of Young Democrats in the fall of 1963." The Young Democrats plan to work with various clubs in the area during the summer for the upcoming Presidential Elec· tion.

Wars caused by poverty, said Dr. Girvetz, were the result of "deprived men seeking solace by following rabble-rousers .and demagogues". He implied that this type of war is improbable, due to increased yields from farms. Though he did not stipulate that this type of war is not impossible, he used this as a point against criticism of our selling wheat to Communist countries; where hunger could drive them to a war of conquest. A "mad man's" war of conquest for power he wrote off because the two major opposing nations have the "ultimate weapon" (the hydrogen bomb). Any aggressor would be a "fool" to risk total destruction in a war for power. IDEOLOGICAL WAR

A religious or ideological crusade whether it be democracy against Communist totalitarianism or Communism against Western Imperialism is the type of war Dr. Girvetz fears the most. He stated though that he believes this type of war will be avoided because "the leaders of our country, our allies and the Communist countries are sensible men". Dr. Girvetz believes that the major problem of a completely warless world will be "economic instability" caused by the closing down of defense industries. He realizes that the men put out of work plus our already large number of unemployed could result in a greater danger than the defense industries themselves. "PUBLIC WORKS"

The solution to the unemployment problem as Dr. Girvetz sees it is in a massive "public works project" using defense men and money. He also would like to see present industries change over from defense to peace time production. The need he sees now, for this change over, he stated as, "We need leadership to lead us to peacetime industry." He went on to say, "President Kennedy was the first to come out with this idea of industrial change." Part of the need for this "public works project," stated Dr.

Girvetz, "comes from the fact that for the first time in our history people are moving out of the cities. The reason being," he (continued to page 3)

AREA I
