"The world must qu1<:kly ,come to realize that Pope Paul VI has sanctioned the deaths -of countless numbers of humlbl bein'gs wi~h his misguided and immoral encyclical."

The statement was issued by Dr. Jeffrey J.W. Baket' of the University of Puerto Rico, Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich of Stanford University, and Dr. Ernst Mayr of Harvard.

The reasoning of the statement is that any act'ion which impedes efforts to halt world population perpetuates the misery in which millions now live and promotes death by starvation in the present and future.

These scientists and those of like mind use the approach that 'the answer to suffering and

Next year's operating deficit for four diocesan high schools, opened in 1966, will be about $897,000. The four schools will have about 9,000 students when filled to capacity later this year.

The approach ,of these scientists is to' advocate full care of a limited number of persons. This hits directly, at the population growth of the developing coun. tries of the world and indicates to them that while the. affluent countries may allow their population to grow, the developing countries may not. This is hardly calculated to assure these developing countries of, the interest of ,the more affluent in their welfare. To them it looks like the advice is one of self-suicide for others while a high living standard for oneself.

If the scientists who issued at attack on Pope Paul claim that they speak according to their conscientious beliefs, then; by the same reasonings, they should allow this same conscientious belief to the Pope who

As a matter of fact, a recent meeting of the National Planned Parenthood group, attrIbuted population growth to wanted children of middle class families rather than, as is often said, to the unwanted children of the poor who do not know how to avoid having children.

The Pope's approach is that men have intelligence and will, and that they mu.st use both knowledge .and self-control in having and providing for their families. This is respor.sible human activity.

Predict Catholic Church Biggest In Australia CANBERRA (NC) The Catholic Church seems certain to replace the Anglican Church as Australia's biggest denomination, according to tudies made public in Ths Australian, a na'tional daily.

Population trend studies made in the state of Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory indioate that this has already happened there. If the trends cont;nue, the Catholic Church should also become the largest in the states of New Wales, Queensland and .the Northern Territory.

In The AustraHan sr.ticle, Patrick Tennison said census figures in Victori'a between 1947 and 1966 showed an increase in the state's population' from 2.05 million to 3.21 million,a ·rise of 1.16 million or 56 per cent.

'But in the 19-year period, the Catholic -increases, was 469,834 or 1'12 per cent while ,the Anglican increase was only 193,175 or 26 per cent.

The Catholic average annual increase was 25,352 to the Anglicans 5,984.

Since .the 1966 census showed 923,078 Anglicans and 889,495 Catholics, it is probable that the gap of 33,583 has been closed in the past two years.

The AustraUan Census Bureau has not challenged these figures and deductions, which have shown to its officials.

Figures in the Australian Capital Territory and other states show the same trend.

Larger Families Reasons given for the trend are the larger number of children in the average Catholic family ,and the migration to Australia of large numbers of Eunpoean Catholics.

Census studies show that Catholic families tend to have, on the aveI'age, 50 per cent more children than Anglican famUies.

The ratio is about three children in every Catholic family to two in every Anglican :family.

Immigration from such preciominantly strongly Catholic countries as Italy, Austri'a, Malta, Germany, Spain and Hungary has been another factor in the population trend.

Those listed in the census figures as Catholics included large numbers whose allegiance to the Church is only nominal.

Nevertheless, the increase in ,the Catholic population is causIng problems for the clergy trying to serve Catholics. The problE:ms are par.ticulary acute in the educational field.

Plan Brazil Dialogue With Non-Believers RIO DE JANEIRO (NC) High-level dialogue with nonbelievers will be held by the Catholic Church in Brazil within the near future.

Auxiliary Bishop Paulo Evaristo Arns of Sao Paulo, head of the recently created, National Secretariat for Non-Believers, said the dialogue will take place with persons who profess no belief in God but who have eommon points of view, with the Church in certain areas of action in the world of today.

, The government was first asked to loan C-130 Hercules transports the plane which has taken the Globemaster's place - but rejected the offer outright.

According to figures supplied by the Escambia County School board, Msgr. Danaher said, the projected cost per pupil for the County's public school system for the 1968-1969 school year will be $585.

Using the public school system's projected cost per pupil, the diocesan school superintendent said, the parochial schools of the community are saving $1,808,235 in possible additional taxes for Escambia County. He therefore urged "wholehearted support" by the community of the Catholic school system.

Instead, the U. S. later offered to donate part 0 f the cost of leasing a Hercules-price: $1.5 million for three months--if the Joint Church Aid groups would accept Red Cross control of their operation. They turned 'that down. .-Finally, in early December, CRS and Church World Service officials located the C-97s, learned they were about to be scrapped, and asked for them.

And at Christmas time they were told, "yes."

India Presid'ent

MADRID (NC)-The Spanish bishops have reported they have given special assistance "to several dozen" priests who have left the active ministry in the past year.

In the first official admission that a number of Spanish priests are renouncing the priesthood, the Bishops' Committee on Clergy affairs said aid given such priests was spiritual and economic and included helping them finding employment.

Lauds College' BOMBAY (NC)-India's President Zakir Hussain paid t·ributes here to a Jesuit-owned college for its "great success in th.ose intangible areas that c,onstJtute the very soul of education." ' The president spoke at ,the conclusion of week-long c~le­ brations of the centenary of !the S1.' Xavier's college and high school founded by German Jesuits. i Earlier, the Bombay municipal corporation, in an unpr~ce:­ dented step, accorded a civic reception' to the twin institutions. .

Describing St. Xavier's as a_ "miniature United Nations," where students of all nation:alities gather and study, Mayor R. N. Kulkarni pointed out that more than 50 per cent of' fts students were Hindus.

The start of the centeJary. celebrations was marked by; an interreligious service'byValerian Cardinal Gracias. of 'Bom:bay al)dan inaugural address) by , M.ahill:as~tras.tate Governor P. v, Cherian. . . .,'

/

No figures were given on the number of priests leaving the ministry. There are 35,200 priests in' Spain.

A growing number of Spanish priests are taking manual jobs as the worker-priest movement spreads. The total is known to be over 100, with 30 reported in the Madrid area.

11,000 Take Part In Discussions

On Renewa I LONDON (NC) - More than 11,000 persons in the London diocese here in Ontario have participated in small group discussions designed to bring the spirit of renewal generated by Vatican Council II to the grassroots level.

They discussed such topics as God, prayer, parental respol.1sibility, attitudes towards fellow believers, Church renewal, community involvement, why go to church, and happin~BS. About 1,000 groups, meeting weekly for five weeks, were involved in the Reflection Group Program-phase two of a oneyear project called Renewal '69.

"The project," said Bishop G. Emmett Carter of London when he 路announced it in June, "is aimed at a spiritual renewal of the whole region in aspects of its life, its institutions and its people."

The first phase of Renewal '69 included a survey to determine the a,ttitudes of Catholics toward their faith, their community, changes in the Church and parish organizations.

Open Discussions More than 10,000 questionnaires were distributed by a group of 120 men and women who represented each parish.

These surveys, which provided a profile of each parish, were returned ,to the nenewal Center in London for .tabulation and analysis.

Phase One also included a demographic survey of the city of London and its immediate area.

Prior to the Reflection Group Program, a series of leadership training sessions were held in various parts of the diocese to acquaint parish representatives with the spirit and goals of these small group meetings.

These groups met in homes, apartments, restaurants, schools and rectories. Leaders encouraged frank and open discussions en a variety of topics related to thei.r Faith and t.heir relationship with God and the community.

Renewal Preaching The feedback generated .by the Reflection groups have been sent to .the Renewal Centre. The thoughts and insights of these groups are now being tabulated and will be given to the 20 highly specialized r e new a I preachers who will give talks in some 90 parishes during Lent.

The preaching is the final phase of Renewal '69. The missionaries who will be. called to give these ,talks will first be oriented to the. needs and attitudes of the people at a special institute .to be held early next year.

Father J. Claude Primeau, director of Renewal '69, said ,that during Christian Unity Week (J'an. 18-25) he hopes to re-activate the 1,000 groups which had been involved in the neflection program 路and have them dISCUSS ecumenical topics with Christians of other denominations.

Cardinal' Asserts Flight Stresses VClJlue of Life

Be What You Should Be' Traditionally, the New Year is a time of resolutions.

Perhaps the most worth-while resolution for each person to make is to be what he is ~upposed to be. That in itself is a full-time job and commlitment .

Let the priest resolve .to be a priest- not a social worker nor a welfare agent rtor an economist, although his role will cause him to point out the spiritual dimensions of all these fields. But let him ibe the man of God; the other Christ among men, the one preaching the complete Christ in his life as well as by his acts. This is where his work and happiness lie, and what people look for.

BOSTON (NC) - The Apollo spacecra,ft flight by three astronauts around the moon should dramatize for all "the worth of every human life," Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston said.

Preaching against the advice of 'his physicians after a twoweek :bout with Hong Kong flu, the 73-year-old prelate said in Holy Cross Oathedral, "as I speak to you this morning, three American heroes are moving in space to make man's first trip around the moon."

"We are, it appears, on our way to the conquest of space itself. But even as we watch, our first concern is the precious cargo of human life that the Apollo spacecraft carries around the moon," the cardinal said.

"This dramatic incident should remind us of the worth of every human life--the poor, the forgotten, the deprived, the lonely, the old-all of theSe are precious in God's sight and must also be in ours," he said.

,

Let the Sister be that ---" a consecrated sign of Christ in the world, giving to all men the example of poverty and chastity and obedience, delineating for others the Christ Who had nothing, the Christ Who denied Himself, the Christ Who sought not His ~own will but the will of His heavenly Father. The peace: and happiness that she evidences in her community supports others in the knowledge that such harmony and joy can be found in the communities of their own families and s9ciety.

Let 'the 'father and mother be just that - men and women dedicated to their families, giving the example of virtue and right values to their children and then, in the time they have remaining, helping others to the degree that they can. All too often the active involved person turns out to be the one who is neglecting his own prime duty in life to arrange the affairs of a neighbor. "

He had many things to say al;>out the present sad condition of men's minds and attitudes..inside and outside the Church.

He did not look at matt~rs through any rose-colored glasses but "told it like it is."

The result was that most reports of the talk made it sound as if the Pope were despairing of the human race when, in fact, his point ,was just the exact opposite - that despite crises and tensions and ,turmoil, man is capable, with the help of God and 'in the light, of the faith given h,im

"The dec'rease in religious personnel has increased' the financial 'burden 'inore rapidly than just a rise'in costs," Father Shanahan stated, noting that as more' ·lay' teachers are' employed the diocese recognizes the necessity of meeting their financial .. '; , I,' needs.

:' One of' ·the first' acts of' the diocesan' hoa'fa1of \~ducatiori"ha's b\ien ' the . establishment' ., of"~' higher salary scale for lay teachers. With increased lay staff, many parishes, as well as the diocese itself, are now in a finan.cial squeeze. ' , The 'endow!11ent fund could also be used to subsidize lay teacher salaries for the parishes unable to afford them.

It could also ease the financial needs at the four new high schools which "will raise tuition fees from-$250 to $350 next year.

"We don't want money to be a ,factor in keeping youngsters from attending the schools," Father Shanahan explained.

"The fund will provide subsidization so we won't make the schools just for the affluent."

In-Depth Survey It is expected the endowment

fund might raise some $50 million in five years, but no goals have been set at this stage.

If the feasibility study is approved by Bishop Kellenberg, the investigation will also probably be tied in with an in-depth survey of the entire educational effort in the diocese similar to one currently being made in the New' York archdiocese. all peoples of the earth. We must seek every path that leads to peace and international goodwill. We must care with a new urgency for one another.

The .astronauts have shown us the way. ' Their belief in the Infin'i,ty of God, as reflected in' their ,scripture readings from the orbit of the. moon, cannot ·be ignored.

These heroic Americans placed their hope in the Divine.

In the New Year, may all men of good will do the same and pray that God will guide and direct us as we accept the great challenges of ,this new interplanetary age. '

Toronto Priests Senate Stresses Adult Education

Compose Prove, For Astronauts

TORONTO (NC)-"Many of our people are bewildered and shaken at the changes that are taking place and at the enunciation of 'new theologies' within the Church," the Toronto Senate of Priests observed in a special report to Coadjutor Archbishop Philip Pocock last week.

"And even more tragically for the future, more and more of our young people are quietly drifting away, finding not only the organized Church but religion itself to be meaningless for them-and the' point at which most are leaving the Church is during their early adult years."

The answer is adult religious education on a broad scale, the senate said, in approving a report that was 15 months in the making.

Learning Centers Area centers serving 'parishes and a system of satellite learnIng centers could provide a means for adults to tune in to changes and reasons for changes in the Church and in society.

The report recommends: That a full-time director, preferably a layman, be appointed to develop and coordinate adult religious education programs throughout the archdiocese. .

That an aqequate budget and staff be established at the outset.

That marriage preparation courses be established on an area basis, "perhaps in an ecumenical framework."

Father John Madden, C.S.B., of St. Michael's College, and Father Edward Bader, C.S.P., of the Catholic Information Center; co-chairmen of the committee which drafted the report, visualize .using Catholic high schools or other existing facilities as area centers where discussions and ciasses can be held for people from several parishes.

Programs would range from marriage preparation courses to lecture and discussion groups' dealing with whatever people wanted to talk about.

Neglected Area' "This has been a neglected area in Catholic development, relating to our people at an adult level," Father Bader said.

"We just haven't done our work in this field." , Archbishop Pocock will decide when and how to implement the report. Practical problems lie in hiring competent staff, training discussion leaders and finding an initial budget of $20,000 to $25,000.

Programs would be family oriented because, as the report states, "It is unfortunate but true that today many (parents) are ill-informed, afraid, concerned, confused and alienated.

"In a time of change so swift as to bewilder the most sophisticated, we are asking our Catholic people to change in the most deeply rooted aspects o! their lives and beliefs, but without offering them adequate, continuing opportunity to learn and live the Christian reasons for change."

Wrong Way It is an indiscreet and trouble-

some ambition that cares so much about fame; about what the world says of us; to be always looking in the faces of others for approval; to be always finxious' about the effect.of what we do or say; to be always shouting to hear the echoes' of our own voiccs.-Longfellow.'

BOSTON (NC) - "Heavenly Father, Lord of the Universe, help Your servants whom You call to search the mysterious expanses of your creative activity * 垄 垄 Teach Your servants who journey so far from their earthly abode that the space in which men may travel is not capable of enclosing You, and that You can be truly known only by the mind which discovers here on earth the deep and abiding reality of even the smallest grain of sand."

So wrote Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston in a "Prayer for Astmnauts" published in The Pilot,archdiocesan paper, as the Apollo 8 spacecraft began its historic voyage to the moon.

"0 Lord, You are so great, and we so small. even as we seem to be great in the e~tending of our knowledge and -the development of our human powers," the cardinal wrote.

Justice Commission Cites Declining Aid PARIS (NC) - The French Justice and Peace' Commission in a report issued here warned that aid to developing nations has been steadily decreasing 'in recent years, and called for an awakening of public opinion to the importance of aid to such nations.

The commission was created in March, 1967 by the French bishops to unite the efforts of priests and laymen engaged in work which has bearing on world development, justice and peace. Its r.eport was entitled "French Policy and Aid to Developing Nations: An Evaluation in Regard to the Encyclical, Populorum Progressio."

NEWARK (NC) - A threemember federal court· sitting here has upset -a New Jersey law forbidding attempts .to induce people not to serve in the armed forces or to deny aid to the federal government in wartime, The unused 50-year-old lawonly one arrest ever was made under it-was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union &.nd ,three peace advocates.

They charged that" the threat of ar.rests made on three occasions by Bergen County Prosecutor Guy W. Calissi was intend. ed to intimidate poople from exercising rights guaranteed by th~ ,First Amendment. Two of the plaintiffs were ministers, and all three 'actively oppose4 U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

Calissi first threatened prose-' cution under the law in a speech before the Gra,nd Jurors Association. The law provides a sentence of $2,000 fine and up to seven years imprisonment.

A simHar Minnesota law was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Cour.t during World WeT'1 but in the ruling here the three-:judge panel said the courtrs deCision should 'be' considered in the light of the circumstances preVlailing at ,that time·.

Three supervisors, including' one of the sponsors, expressed their views on the matter. The committee· ,took no action but indicated It will study the proposal and attempt to reach a decision by its next meeting, Jan. 13.

Twelve persons spoke in favor of ,the resolution and four against it. About 20 attended the hour-long session.

!ide thinking young priest who said the Mass mentioned in his homily that not only do we record the coming of· Christ as a small babe in a manger, but we should take note of his coming in every person we meet, for are we not all made in the image and likeness of God. Hardest Lesson This, without a doubt, will be the hardest lesson we attempt to convey to our young: for most of us, myself included, find it difficult to see Christ in those we prefer not to not~ce or bother with. Too often it is easy to see Christ in those we love or admire but much more difficult to see him in the messy, neglected,' sullen child, or even in the. rude. over-tired store clerk.

This is' one lesson that we, as parents are going to find most trying because this is one thing we cannot teach by rote but must teach by example.

In this age of rapid technological change, causes and movements seem to pick up tremendous momentum and then disappear as rapidly as they begin. In my own lifetime I have experienced three important movements within this country: the assumption of governmental responsibil- of charity and love toward all ity for all the people under men.

tion; a tremendous upsurge of nationalism among the major. powers of the world (Germany, Japan, Russia, Egypt, France, China, etc.) which has led to a series of conflicts; and finally in the last decade a social consciousness which involved many of the ·Christian peoples in an honest attempt to help people less fortunate than themselves.

This latter movement has led to the Peace Corps, VISTA, civil rights movements, food for Biafrll and other very worthwhile humanitarian efforts.

Signs of Strain One wonders, however, if this latter movement has not begun to run its course, having lost its leaders in the past year. The list ofachlevements under this movement are precious few: new civil rights legislation, the Peace Corps, the poverty progiam. But no 10ngeI;, do we have the Kenneciys to awaken our consciences, nor Martin Luther King, ilOr do we have~the leadership of Hubert Humphrey, or Eugene McCarthy in positions of power. . "f.'

We have certainly witnessed this humanitarian movement in ,the Catholic Chllrch but even here we see signs of strain. The Church is undergoing' a: degree of turmoil:wh"ich gives us' the Impressi'on that it is about to' go through a periOd of stability and cautious change.

It strikes us as sad 'that very little of lasting value h'as been accomplished during this period of social turmoil. On all sides we see signs of a return to normalcY,a period of relative quiet for assessment of what we have been doing and where we are going (it seems to th'is observer that the election of· Richard Nixon was as much the election of the quiet Eisenhower years as it was the election of a philosophy of government as represented in Richard Nixon).

We hope we are wrong in our assessment of the direction in which this country is moving and that we will as a Nation persevere in our attempts to set right many of the wrongs we have allowed to persist, but the new year will give us the answers.

In the Kitchen As Joe mentioned above, we, enter the new year with a glimmer of hope in our hearts that 1969 will be a better year than the previous one. It's probably too much to hope that Peace will envelop this world and that hatred be banished, but with the simple fact of a new beginning hope, too, can spring anew.

Those of ~ with obligations cannot join tl'ie Peace Corps or vOJunteer for Vista or even do small charities in our own area.

WASHINGTON (NC) -Pope Paul has named Msgr. Bernard J. McLaughlin to be titular Bishop of Mottola and auxiliary to Bishop James A. McNulty of Buffalo.

The Pope himself will conSecrate Msgr. McLaughlin in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican on Monday next, Jan. 6. The Holy Father will consecrate SeVeral other newly named archbishops at the same time.

Bishop-elect McLaughlin was born in Buffalo, Nov. 19, 1912, the son of the late Michael and the late Mary (Curran). McLaughlin.

The diocesan vicar general studied at the Buffalo diocesan prepaf/atory seminary and at the Propaganda College in Rome. The Kenmore (NY) pas,tor was ordained in Rome, in thearchbasilica of st. John Lateran, on Dec. 21, 1935. He holds a doctorate in philosophy.

Father Hesburg Approves Peaceful Student Protests

CU Professor Says JFK Placed Crucial Importance. in Moon Race

SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Students have a ~ight to express grievances so long as these protests are peaceful, Notre Dame University's president said here. Violent demonstrations-which interfere with the functioning of a university-are to be con- "These outbursts present no demned as a losing cause problem so long as the activism for all concerned, Father they represent is in a good diTheodore Hesburgh, C.S.C.,· rection. It is good that young said in an interview on the current wave of unrest which has' swept America's campuses.

Father Hesburgh is a member of the U. S. Civil 'Rights Commission, which held a weeklong hearing on the problems of Mexican-Americans at Our Lady of the Lake College here.

Commenting on the causes of lltudent ferment, Father' Hesburgh said he thinks it is the result of the unstable world situation and perhaps even of instability in the values of American life.

"In additiOn," he added, "there are simply more young people around today to be heard."

Father Hesburg said there were about 30 million Americans under 21 in 1950 and there are 80 million under 21 today.

By 1970, he stated, half of the nation will be under 25, "and they will be a better group of people because of their growing awareness and interest in the world."

"Young people of the 1950s were terribly apathetic about everything," he said "but today's youngsters are concerned with the world about. them.

They are interested in civil rights, Vietnam, war and peace, poverty, problems of minority groups and in their own education."

Right to Pll"otest One motivation for these outspoken students, the priest declared, is that "these kids come fre>m more affluent parents than did previous generations.

Today's young people generally do not have to worry so much about money and jobs - they have more tiltle on their hands -so they give more thought to the world about .them and its problems."

He said that youngsters of the depression 1930s were too busy trying to scrape out ;m existence and those of the 1940s had to contend with the Second World War. Referring to campus demonstrations, Father Hesburgh said

Plan Coordination Of Lay Apostolate LIMA (NC)-An agreement to coordinate the efforts of the lay apostolate througtiout Latin America was worked out here at a'meeting of bishops, priests and lay leaders representing the Latin American Bishops' Coun~ cil (CELAM) and the InterAmerican Catholic Action Secretariat.

A Latin American Lay Council, under CELAM, will coordinate the work of student, worker, farmer and professional groups and will act as a liaison for the area with the Vatican Council of the Laity.

Meetings in April, May and October of 1969 will determine specific areas of action and patterns of coordination for the lay apostolate in Latin America.

Leadership training will be given at the Manuel Larrain Center' - named for the late bishop of TaIca, Chile-at Santiago, Chile.

people are i:iiscussing issues and want to be involved. Every student has a right to protest if that is the only way he can bring attention to his grievance."

Rights oil' Others But, 'he quickly added, "We must make a rule that these demonstrations be peaceful and that they not restrict university operations nor infringe on the rights of other students."

Father Hesburgh said that, in demanding their right to be heard, activi'st students often deny other students their right to normal university schedules.

Activists must remember, he said, that "Freedom is a twoway street."

"Violence only begets more violence," he declared, "and when this occurs, everyone loses.

The real challenge for universities is to sell communities on the fact that there are many ways to settle grievances, "and violence is not one of them."

"Colleges and universities are not set up to deal with violent outbursts," the priest said, "so 'eHmination of these demonstrations and control of them must come from elimination of the causes and the entire university community is responsible." .

Outline New Social Role for Church"

j

SANTIAGO (NC) The Church's role in social assistance and charity work must be reoriented toward self-help and community development, the Santiago archdiocesan synod said here.

The third and final session of the synod, which ,began in September, 1967, ended with the adoption of resolutions on the lay apostolate, communications and the cultural influences of the Church.

The 476 delegates to .the synod ,included bishops, 'priests 'and laity. The laity was' represented by housewives, workers, students, domestics and businessmen.

Asks Nationwide Prayer Jan. 20 WASHINGTON (NC) - The 1969 Inaugural Committee has called upon the nation's citizenry to join in a nationwide prayer observance on Inauguration Day, Monday, Jan. 20.

Recommended by the interfaith religious observance unit of the group, the committee asked that on the established days of worship immediately preceding Inauguration Day, Americans across the nation hold in places of worship appropriate services of prayers for the new President and his cabinet, e>f thanksgiving to Almighty God for His mercy and blessings on America and of rededication "of our people to the ideals of responsible freedom, human dignity and the brotherhood of all men."

The committee also asked that on Inauguration Day itself, "prayers be said, bells be rung, chimes be played and lights be kindled' in hoiJses of worship across the nation for a period of three minutes at one time; that is, 11 A.M., EST, tocommemorate with joyful reverence this' peaceful transfer of authority, and to proclaim to all the world our faith in God, and our spiritual rededication."

WASHJINGTON (NC)~Pres­ ident John F. Kennedy overode large segments of America's military and scientific opinion when he decided to land an American on the moon by 1970, convinced the venture was necessary to restore a balance of power in U.S...:Russian :relations, according to a. political science professor a,t the Catholic UniversLty of America.

Dr. John M. Logsdon made the assertion in a paper, "Kennedy's Decision to Land on the Moon," delivered at the 1968 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"In the final months of the Eisenhower Administration, NA . SA requested approval of a manned space flight to follow America's first manned program, Project Mercury," Dr; Logsdon said.

"The NASA request was denied, and Eisenhower was ready to announce in his final budget message in January, '1961 that there would be no American manned space flight after Mercury '" OC' OC'' Much Oppositicn Fur.thermore, Dr. Logsdon continued, "the scientific community, jealous of their prerogative to decide for themselves how government funds for science should be allocated, viewed manned space flightOC' » "as overly expensive and unnecessary * » .. the military services, especially the Air Force, believed that the nation needed a space program me>re directly aimed at military objectives- and that the manned space flight program could more effectively be managed by the military."

Dr. Logsdon ex'amined open sources and previously unavailable documents to determine why, in the face of much opposition, President Kennedy decided to go to the moon.

He interviewed NASA officials and members of Kennedy's staff, including Ted Sorenson, McGeorge Bundy, David Bell

Board AHirms Just Teachers Salaries ST. PAUL (NC)-The St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocesan board of education adopted a policy resolution calling on schools to make teachers salaries competitive and to keep tuition charges wi.thin. the 'reach of the general Catholic population.

The policy resolution "confirms the responsibility of the individual school" to set its own tuition and salary scales, subject to ,the right of ,the boa,rd to review budgets and then to render all feasible financial aid.

Board members, in their discussion of salaries and tuition, said differences. among the high schools would make it difficult to set salary and tuition scales on an equitable archdiocesan basis.

and Kennedy's science advisor, Jerome Weisner.

Logsdon concluded that t~e April 12, 1961, flight of Soviet C<?smonaut Yuri Gagarin convinced Kennedy once and !or all of ,the importance of Americanbacked manned space flight as a means of repariing "a perceived imbalance in the power relationship between the U.S. and the Soviet Union."

Prestfige Real Factor Dr. Logsdon quotes Sorenson as telling President Kennedy that "the prestige involved was a real, not just a public relations, factor in world affairs."

'Vice-President Lyndon Johnson headed Kennedy's adviso~ group and organized strong congressional suport for the manned space program.

'The president announced on May 25, 196L, "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of. landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth (0 <0 <0 I believe we should go to the moon." And the Apollo manned space flight program was thereby begun.

A lot of people simpl~ do not agree ,with Pope Pa~!

VI when he says "Deyelopment is the new name for peace.

They dismiss Mr. Robert McNamara's well known calculation that 90 per cent of the trouble in the world flares up , in the developing lands. They reject the argument that' a stration effect" of what is possigenuine strategy for world, ble with higher living standards whirls round the globe on the development in the '70s i~ double thrust o:f commercial ad-

.the ,best possible under-pinning for a peaceful decade, that what the .w e a 1 thy , states spend on economic assistance gives them a hundred times m 0 r e security than their sterile armaments, that the "peacemakers" whom God-is pleased to ,bless are precisely those who feed tWe hungry, clothe t e naked, shelter. the homeless.

Predicts Unrest In Church to Continue

Continued from Page One four-year college education in Ohio costs more than $10,000 AMSTERDAM (NC) - "Unfor a student attending a privat!,! college and a little less than certainty and unrest in the $6,000 for one atttending a state- Church cannot be completely eliminated," Bernard Cardinal supported college. .

National Kappa Gamma Pi Alfrink of Utrecht said in. an inheadquarters has acknowledged terview in Ruimzicht (Wide that the tuition difference is not View), the monthly publication the only reason for the trend of the Dutch Catholic Trade toward enrollment increases at Union Movement.

"In the past," the cardinal state colleges and declines at said, "everything was much independent colleges.

Higher rates of state support, more clear and everyone knew, together with the availability of or thought he knew, what to do. federal funds to large universities, the organization indicates, "have enabled these institutions to raise faculty salaries and improve facilities on a scale with which it is increasingly difficult for private colleges to compete."

Seen as Crisis "The student who selects a state college in 1968, therefore," says the national women's organization," may have been prevented from exercising a real " preference for a. private or church-related education ,by his inability to pay higher tuition.

But he also may be unwilling to exercise his freedom of choice at the expenses of what he conceives to ·be better facilities, research opportunities, or teachers."

Noting state tax funds appropriated for higher ; e.ducation had risen 44' per cent in the past two years and 214 per c~nt . in the past eight 'years, the Ohioans believe" "figures like these make the concept' of freedom of' choice steadily . less meaningful.'; Mrs.' Joseph Trlvisonno of Cleveland, campaign leader, said the decision to'leonduct a national campaign was proposed to representatives of. the:' 121' .'colleges affiliated with' Kappa,.. , Gamma· Pi as a' means'-of easing' What ;many· call a "crisis" among independent colleges.

Trend Must Stop

At the moment there is almost no aspect of Church life that is not under discussion. Many people are unable to follow this.

For that reason they sometimes do not know what to do any more." .

The cardinal said that this "unrest" is "most regrettable, but it cannot be completely eliminated," because we did not know in Europe what was done in Africa or Asia.

"But now the world has become so small that we really are one family now. That .is much better understood by young people than by older ones."

On the issue of obligatory Sunday Mass attendance, Cardinal Alfrink said that in the past "it was possible that in Italy people did not attend Sunday Mass every week but that they still considered themselves Roman Catholics. In the Nether-

Until recently, higher education was private education."

Noting that in 1950 half the college students were in private schools while in 1968 the figure was 35 per cent. Mrs. Trivisonno declared: "This trend must be halted."

Louisiana Nuns Form Experimental Group NEW ORLEANS (NC) - Six members of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament who are members of the faculty and administration of Xavier University of Louisiana here are forming an experimental community.

The Sisters, who will continue to serve at the university, recently moved off campus and are now living together as a community within the Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.

Sister Francis Mary-Riggs, a member of the group, said that with the approval of Mother Mary David Young, superior general, the six will explore new dimensions of Christian community living in the interest of present-day renewal.

The experiment, she added, is a living expression of a statement strongly supported by the group: "Life brings growth; growth means change, and change proves life."

lands, however, anyone not attending Mass for some time was written off."

He said that perhaps "we are now entering an age in which it is possible not to go to church regularly and still remain inside the Church," and at the same time to keep the faith and to regard oneself as a member of the Church. "But this is a risky theory," he add~.

Former Convent "Branch. ()ffice Of Washington'sl City Hall WASHINGTON (NC) - What· was a Catholic convent until a year or so ago has beCQme the first "branch office" of the Capital's city hall.

The former Sisters of Notre .Dame Convent, not far from the U.S. Capital and the Union Sta- , tion, 'was designated a District Building satellite by Mayor Waltel' E. Washington in a ceremony held in the old convent's 'enclosed courtyard.

He'said it was the first of what it is hoped will bea dozen Community Facilities Centers, bringing "improved public service to the doorstep of the people who need that service so urgent-, : ly." .

The area, subject of a urban, renewal project, is in historic .

St. Aloysius parish, the convent being just across the street from , the parish church'. Gen. U.S. I Grant lived near ,the church just I before he was inaugurated President of the United States.

So did Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, Stephen A. Douglas, who opposed AbIlaham LinCQln for the presidency, and' many I others. The Apostolic Delegation was near where Grant, Sherman and Douglas lived. until well into ,this century.

deathbed. Mrs. Douglas was a Catholic, and the couple held No. 1 pew in St. Aloysius church.'

Gen. Sherman moved into the confines of the parish in 1869, and Mrs: Sherman, who had been Ellen Ewing, is credited with bringing the Sisters ofNotre Dame de Namur to Washington to conduct the parish school for girls. Her own daughter. Minnie, had attended the nuns' academy in Reading, Ohio.

Subsequently, Sisters of Mercy, who were ,at the parish school briefly in the very beginning, returned to take charge of the parochial school for boys.

Under One Roof Both the boys' and girls' parochial schools have been discontinued. However, the Jesuits still conduct Gonzaga High School and the Sisters conduct Notre Dame Academy, a girls' high school, both of which are near the church. The Sisters gave up their convent in the parish and now live elsewhere in W'ashington.

The 40 rooms in the old convent and school wil lnow house District government services and' community programs under one roof. .

The services will include health care, welfare aid, voca,tional rehabiUtat.ion assistance,' a mental project, employment , counseling, homemaking instruchon ,child care, citizens informaI tionand grievance services, a clinic, a parole office and youth athletic and art programs.

Evenly div.ided between whites and blacks, the pickets were led

by Mrs. Irene Leath of Plainfield. Only half of the pickets were from Plainfield, however, others coming from groups elsewhere which had been asked to support the demontration.

T·he chancery. office was closed for the day but the picketing was observed by one official who had come in to catch up on some work.

Mrs. Leath charged that the apathy of the Church toward social problems is evident in the move to St. Stanislaus Kostka church. St. Stanislaus is a Polish national parish.

-Mrs. Leath also said that Father Robert Daly, pastor at St. Bernard's, had denied the use of parish facilities for a dance.

ago, Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark had urged parishes to make their facilities available to community groups when possible.

Facilities at St. Bernard's have been used for community programs frequently, many of them of an interracial nature.

The parish ,this Summer helped finance a day camp :for disadvantaged children with the. camp being conducted on parish grounds. Priests from the parish have been. active in community programs. ' Pickets said they were protesting theappoin.tment of pas,tors "who have a total lack of understanding and knowledge of community needs." Mrs. Leath ~aid she a'hd met Archbishop Boland on two occasions but that promises he made had not been fulfilled.

DETROIT (NC) -Archbishop John F. Dearden took his explanation of the U. S. Catholic bishops' Fall meeting to the people of the Detroit archdiocese over three 'television channels.

A good part of the show was taken up with the discussion of the accuracy of the press coverage as well as coverage of the bishops' pastoral letter Human Life in Our Day, issued on the last day of the bishops' meeting.

Archbishop Dearden was generally satisfied with the coverage of the meeting, although he stated that "the second part of the pastoral" the part having to do with arms control in Vietnam "has not yet been discovered by the press."

He remarked that the volume and content of the pastoral made it impossible for reporters to assimilate the document in time for deadlines only minutes or hours away-just as it would have been impossible for the bishops.

He said that it was understandable that headlines and stories were written around a few outstanding points, but that "the true meaning can be gained only when it Is read in its entirety."

All in all, Archbishop Dear'den stated he was more pleased with initial press coverage of the bishop's pastoral than he was with secondary writings which has singled out one or more sections of the pastoral for discussion without considering them within the full context of the pastoral.

regarding demands that priests who marry be permitted, in some cases, to continue in the exercise of their ministry, the Dutch Catholic news agency, KNP, reported.

In a letter to their bishops, 73 priests of the Haarlem and Rotterdam dioceses had suggested that "in certain parishes in the Netherlands, to be determined in consultation with the local community of the faithful, married priests or priests who intend to marry be given the opportunity to serve in the complete exercise of their priestly office." , KNP said a reliable source indicated that the bishops were determined not to push such demands because of the possibility of serious conflict with the Holy See over the matter.

Later the group of priests met in 'Amsterdam and issued a statement charging that the, bishops were moving too slowly on the question of married priests continuing their ministry and demanding they should put direct pressure on the Roman Curia, 'the Church's central administrativ'e offices, ,for a decision,

At Cassidy 'High in Taunton the student council is planning a mixer for Saturday night, Jan. 25. The Plastic Peppermint will play for dancing in the school auditorium and the event will celebrate the end of mid-year exams.

Prelate ,Heads Citizens' Co.nnni.ttee For Sal1l Francisco State College SAN FRANCISCO (NC)'Auxiliary13ishop Mark 'J. Hurley of San Francisco has been elected chairman of the Citizens Committee for San Francisco State College.

But rather than making any headway in settling the twomonth-old dispute, Bishop Hurley has had to devote most of his time to convincing both sides that he is not working for the other.

"This committee," he said after its first full-dress meeting in San Francisco Public Library, "does not consider itself the representative of any group, but rather conceives of itself 'as a neutral body seeking to initiate true dialogue among contending factions."

Catholic Conference Formed in Nebraska OMAHA (NC) - Nebraska's Catholic bishops have announced forma,tion of the NebI'aska Catholic Conference to coordinate their efforts in h,ealth,' education and welfare and to improve com m u n i cat ion with other groups conce'l'ned with these areas.

The bishops also announced appointment of Paul V. O'Hara, Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. manager at Sidney, Neb., as conference executive director.

O'Hara will establish an office in Lincoln.

The bishops said membership in the conference in addition to themselves, will include one re.presentative from each of the state's diocese (Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island) from education, health and welfare, public affeairs, ·and pastoral life; and two laymen from each diocese.

The bishops will be ex officio members of the conference and will appoint their respective diocesan representatives.

SANTA ISABEL (NC)-Guinea, a new nation and the only one in Africa with an overwhelming majority of Catholics, is threatened by strong pagan influences, according to Bishop Nze Abuy of Rio Muni.

Guinea was granted independence from Spain Oct. 12.

The threat comes from tribal customs, particularly polygamy, the bishop said. His fears are shared by many white missionaries, from Spain and some native priests.

Of the 275,000 inhabitants of Guinea, 228,000 are baptized Catholics. There are now over 8,300 being prepared for Baptism.

The Church in Guinea has 23 ' Guinean priests, 50 Spanish priests and 116 nuns, two thirds of the nuns Guineans.

The committee' was formed by political, civic, religious, business and labor leaders at the suggestion of San Francisco Mayor Thomas Alioto. But, said Bishop Hurley, it does not intend ,to work for the government interests. .

It will "see solutions to' honest and documented grievances and " (> (> effect reconciliation with not only the educatiQnal community but in the community at large," he said.

The new job has already taken Bishop Hurley to Washington, to enlist .the aid of Sam Jackson, vice president of the American Arbitration Association.

Gov. Ronald Reagan promptly commented that neither arbitration nor mediation were needed, and the bishop himself said the committee is neither an arbitI'ation nor mediation board.

San Francisco State College is now' working on its third president of the year-semanticist S.1. Hayakawa-who in less than a month fought to keep the school open, then closed it a week early for Christmas vacation.

The college, hit by strikes of students and teachers has been presented a list of demands by the Black Students' Union and the Third World Liberation Front, an association of students from underdeveloped nations.

And violence has become commonplace, with clashes between police and students occuring at least weekly police helicopter patrols circling regularly, and city police patrolling constantly.

Following his three-year varsity career, Jim compiled the all-time varsity record at Coyle, a mark that still stands. His 1,055 points came on a variety of shots and he was considered to be one of the all-time hoop greats ever to come out of the city of Taunton.

When not playing for the Warriors, Bradshaw spent 'a great deal of time at the Taunton Boys Club where he was a member of that team 'in the 1964 Pawtucket and Fall River tournaments.

In the latter classic, he was selected the tourney's most valuable player which terminated his high school student days on a highly successful note.
