American Jesuits

Establish Racial

Justice Program

WASHINGTON (NC) ­ Preparations for a new, many-sided intensive pro­ gram of interracial work are mow underway in the 11 Amer­ !ean provinces of the Society of Zesus. Jesuit officials have pledged \new efforts to combat racial in­ IiUstice in the United States in the light of the recent letter of Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., su­ perior general. Father Gerald R. Shehan, S.J., :9l'Ovincial of the Missouri prov­ mce, said he and other provin­ daIs had been consulted about the letter prior to its writing and that the Missouri province bas, for some time, been active hi race and poverty work. He added that the order as a whole must take further steps to help end racial inequality. "I believe we must use exist­ ing institutions, rather than desert them and start new ones In the inner city," he declared. Uniting Resources Father Shehan cited increased lleholarships for Negro and other poor students and prepa­ ration at both grade and high school levels for students to en­ ter Jesuit academies and· uni­ versities, as current needs. Father Paul C. Reinert, S.J., president of St. Louis Univer­ llity, called for the "creation of a DeW invention" to help meet the racial crisis in the cities. ·We need a device, an appa­ mus, by. which the university t8n be the point of amalgama­ tion between all the forces try. Ihg to work in the inner city," he said. Father Reinert pointed to the .versity of professional, gov­ ..-nment-funded and volunteer .rces at work which need pater coordination. While uni­ 'Wersities have usually set up in­ ltitutes of urban affairs to meet _ h problems, he said, one '"tai.ing" of such institutes is Chat. "they tend to be over­ ~arch-oriente!l, making the ,mversity the .sole operator of the program, but they have not .-eceeded in uniting resources." New England Work Father Robert McEwen, S.J.. lIlead of the economics depart­ ment at Boston College, repre­ eenting the New England prov­ mce, noted that several Jesuit Fathers had already begun their social apostolate in the inner ei"ty by establishing residence in a housing project in the South Boston area. Father McEwen, who heads the LaFarge Committee for the Social Apostolate in the New England province, said that two other such projects are under eonsideration at the present time-one in Boston and one in f:onnecticut. .lesuit seminarians have been 6mgaged in tutoring underpriv­ Deged pre-high school students in urban areas of the New En­ gland province for some time, Father McEwen pointed out.

Student Reaction How do other Feehan students react towards the accelera,ted students? ''They don't seem to resent them," said Sister Mary Mercy. "They realize that there's lots of extra work involved in being in the special group and they think of itt as more of a responsibility than a privilege. This is the way the group mem­ bers feel about it too." Continuation of the program at Feehan will depend upon fa­ culty available ,said the prin­ cipal.

She added. .In summarizing her thoughts, Sister Mary Mercy stated: "We would like to feel t~at our whole program is characterized by a deep concern with many new ways to individualize in­ truction. We are dedicated to

fostering an atmosphere of in­ quiry in the school which will be conductive to maximum in­ volvement of the professional staff in the systematic' evaluation and improvement of the pro­ gram. To the extent that we realize

. family planning advice to wel­ fare' clients. This has been revealed by Essex County Welfare Director Philip Lazzaro who said. the county welfare board would permit ~taff members to initiate fa mil y planning discussions with welfare recipients. , He noted the state has given written approval to a' resolution adopted by the county board changing the policy which· had been in existence here. lI'ay Other Costs A letter from the state board to the county agency said the policy "in no way conflicts with any policy or regulation estab­ lished by the '* '* • department

By Rt. Rev. Msgr John S. Kennedy

. I first heard of Lizzie Borden in my childhood. A rel­

ative of whom I asked an explanation of a bit of doggerel

concerning Lizzie, explained to me that she was celebrated

as the alleged murderess of her father and stepmother.

This nice business took place longed to the Women's Chris­ in Fall River, Massachusetts, tian Temperance Union, .and the

in 1892. Lizzie was brought W.C.T.U. came flamingly to her

to trial and acquitted. But defense: "How could a famous.

the suspicion of her guilt lin­ gered. As the years passed, I encountered LizZie <3 g a i n

and again. The

case fascinated

a lot of people,

became a clas­

sic in the an­

nals of crime,

and was wri t­

ten about re­

peatedly. Whole

books we r e

.devoted to it, with some au'

thors contending that Lizzie had done the deed, others insisting that she had not. Lizzie entered American folk­ lore: there have been plays, a ballet even an opera, about her. Th~ latest addition to the lit­ eratu~e is A Private Disgrace by Victoria Lincoln (Putnam, 200 Madison Ave" New York, N.Y. 10016. $6.95). It is quite different from its predecessors in significant respects. For one thing, Miss Lincoln has dug .u p and used the record of the 111­ quest. Lizzie's revealing testi­ monv at the inquest was barred fro~ the trial and has been largely ignored since. . But much more important, Miss Lincoln is a native of Fall River, belonged to thes'ame soci"l cil'cle there in which Lizzie moved. and well remem­ bers Lizzie (who died in 1927). .\Vrites as Insider The author, then. knows inti­ mately the milieu of this an­ cient mystery. She. knows the old Yankee mentality and mores, the prejudices and loyal­ ties of these people, the fine, _ points of their peculiar outlook and idiom. She writes,. so to speak, as an insider. She has done a great amount - of searching and pbndel'ing, and she is absohitely sure th~t Liz-' zie committed the murder and got away with it. And in her book she attempts, with bril­ liant success, to show how, in both instances, Lizzie did it. Probably her chief contribu­ tion is her eX'11anation of Liz­ zie's "spells." She theorizes, with the backing of eminent medical authorities, that Lizzie suffered from epilepsy of the teml)oral lob~. It was in such a seizure that she I~illed her step­ mother, whom she hated as a rival. The murder of her father followed because she could not bear 1.0 lose the' regard of this idol. . , The exolanation seems sound to an old addict of books on Lizzie, but much 'more interest­ ing is Miss Lincoln's knowl­ edgeable reconstruction of 'the society and atmosphere of Fall River 75 years ago. Fam'}u~ T .. et,ot"ler The Yankee society was co­ hesive and exclusive. There were two Cab,olic doctors in town. for example, but even in an emergen<;y: the proper peo­ ple would not think of resorting to them. Money was ,profoundly respected. Lizzie's Father had made plenty of it. and, upon his dei'th: she became a' very rich woman. A very rich woman of ·her stoc l -

Moreover, Lizzie be-

that.

The clergy rallied to Lizzie's

cause. While legal -determina­

tion of her guilt or innocence

still impended, whole sermons

were given to a ·passionate af­

firmation of her innocence. And

every day of the trial she came

into the courtroom ·on .the arm

'of one or another minister. Be­ sides, floral tributes were

banked about her thel'e. Protective Cloak

Her chief defense counsel, a former governor of the state, was extremely clever. But even he would have had much more trouble were it not for the ex­ traordinary, not to say astound­ ing help given him 'from the bench by one of his own judi­ cial appointees. This judicial luminary, one Judge Dewey, failed to mention, in his charge to the jury, one of the key elements 'in the. whole affair. Lizzie's small .world, says the al,lthor, "flwlg its protective familial cloak about the story that was its own priv.ate dis­ grace," and continued to do so during the 35 years which still remained to Lizzie, ,and whieb she spent in Fall River. The sequel, although less fully treated by Miss Lincoln, is sketched in with enough detail and color to round off satisfy­ ingly what is, though highly personal, a real soci~logical study. Behind the Mask Edith Sitwell; whO died three yeaJ:.l? ago, was· one' 6f the finest English poets of our time. She was also an aristocrat who claimed descent from the Plan­ tagenet royalty. And she was an exotic figure, with her striking height and looks and her fan­ tastically elegant style of dress. She was a doughty warrior, almost always engaged in battle with another writer or a critic. Her detractors spoke sn iffingly of her as a celebrity self-made by the assiduous and sly use of publicity. ' . A memoir of Dame Edith's last years is provided by Eliz­ abeth Salter, who was her sec­ retary for sometime previ~us to her death. Called The Last Years of a Rebel (HOllghton Mifflin, 2 Park Street, Boston, Mass. 02107. $5), it deserves at­ tention for its glimpses of a for­ midable women when she was off guard.' Logical Conclusion Miss Salter belIeves that iron­ poised Edith Sitwell w.as not only an essentialh unhappy person, but also, and surpris­ in~!ly, that she (such a dragon!) had no intrinsic self-confid.ence. She also declares her to have been wonderfully Idnd and gen­ erous. Dame Edith would have nothing but choice wines, but on the other hand, liked no dIsh better than plebian scrambled eggs and frankfurters. Late .in life she became a Catholic. "Thl'Ough talking - to her and reading her works, I came to the conclusion that her acceptance of the Catholic faith represented not so mud. a cha)'!!e ;n oup""l, as the logical conclusion of a .way of thought:'

and we fully approve the imp]e­ mentation thereof." At one time, the state had advised county boards not to permit case workers to initiate family planning discussions. lIt later ruled that this was a mat­ ter for local decision. Lazzaro said case workers in Essex, the state's most populous county, would protect the right of clients to refuse family planning help without penalty. Staff members may also decline to participate in birth control discussions for religious reasons. He also revealed that the board would pay the $5 fee for mothers on welfare rolls who visit the Planned Parenthood Center in Newark for an annual checkup. The center was re­ cently certified as an outpatien~ health facility by the State Department of Health.

Concelebrate Requiem Mass For Wi~mington Ordinarw

S

WILMINGTON (NC)~Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore was principal celebrant of a concelebrated req­ \1liem Mass Saturday in Christ Our King Church here for Most Rev. Michael W. Hyde, 66, the See's fifth bishop. Masses for the general public and for Sisters and was named coadjutor bishop of school children were held Wilmington Sept. 9, 1958. He was consecrated on Sept. 24 in earlier in the week at the Assumption basilica in Balti­

ehurch, where Bishop Hyle's body lay. Bishop Hyle came to Wil­ mington in 1958 as coadjutor bishop with right of suc,cession to Bishop Edmond J. Fitzmau­ rice. He became head of the See hi February, 1960, on the retire­ ment of Bishop Fitzmaurice. In that time,' he had coped with problems ranging from urban slums to rural poverty. The Wilmington diocese in­ 4:lludes all of Delaware, and the parts of Maryland and Virginia between the Chesapeake Bay llnd the Atlantic Ocean. It includes the heavily indus­ trialized northern part of Del­ aware, coastal resorts and the southern Maryland and Virginia fishing villages and tobacco and produce farms. Newspaper Dispute While he pioneered ecumen­ kal relations and became known for his stands on open housing, civil rights and the urban ministry, Bishop Hyle is perhaps bes~nd most recent­ l7-known as the man wh~ founded the Delmarva Dialog. and who became involved in a dispute wbich .ended with the firing of the paper's editor. The Dialog was founded in M65. Its editor, John O'Connor, and its staff soon pushed it inte national prominence. The paper won II general excellence award of the Cath~lIc Press Associa­ tion in 1967. Shortly after that, however, ate dispute between O'Connor and the bishop - over fiscal problems and editorial policy- ' IUrfaced, and ended'sexeral months later when O'Connor's eontract was not renewed and a local daily newsman, James Parks, was hired to replace him. Baltimore Pastor

Bishop Hyle was born in Bal­

timore and attended St. Charles

College and St. Mary's Semi­ nary there. He studied at the North American College in Rome and was ordained there March 12, 1927, in St. John Lateran basilica. He was pastor of St. Mary's church in' Baltimore when he

Papal Envoys Meet Nigerian Leader LAGOS (NC) - Two priests serving as special papal envoys ~ Nigeria met with the Nige­ rian federal government leader, Maj. Gen. Yakubu Gowon, to disuss a possible cease-fire that. would enable them to enter the war-torn eastern section of the oountry, an area whicb pro­ claimed itself the independent :Republic of Biafra last May SO. The two, Msgr. Dominic Con­ way, rector of Rome's Irish Col­

lege, and Msgr. George Rocheau of Secours Catholoques (French Catholic charities organization in Paris), described as "cordial" their meeting with the Nigerian leader. Msgr. Conway, speaking to lIlewsmen after the meeting, added that they had asked Gen­ eral Gowonto do everything humanly possible to make them IAlre that "the terrifying ex­ tremes of general massacre, mass hatred, atrocities and vin­ dictiveness" will' be avoided. The envoys said that the gen­ eral assured them that he was conscientiously preooeup1ed at ~~ times to ensure against .such C'2~'l'cmc80

more. The preacher was the then Bishop Lawrence J. She­ han of Bl'idgeport, Conn. The cause of Bishop Hyle's death was not immediately known. He had been hospital­ ized with various ailments twice in the past two months. He was found dead at his home by his housekeeper, shortly before dinner. He is survived by a sister, Sis­ ter Eloise of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore.

Solon Files ~o~~g) To ReQeal e~@o!me ALBANY (NC) - New York State legislators will spend much of their time in the next legis­ Iative session trying to succeed where the 1966 constitutional con vention failed. The convention failed when New York's voters defeated a proposed new constitution last Nov. 7, which would have made sweeping changes in education, welfare and ()ther areas of pub­ lic concern.

'JirB@r of Peace Monday was, at the request of Pope Paul, a 'world­ wide Day of Peace. But that is not enough. Prayers for peace in the world should be the resolution of the new year for every person of good will. ,There' is a feeling throughout the world that' the PCipe might play an important role in bringing about peace. The President's remarkable visit to the Pope Paul contained that hope within it. The United Nations seems to be looking to the Holy Father to supply some element that might change the pattern of intransigence that has ~ setled around the Vietnam war. The Pope has indicated': that he would take an active and positive role in negotia- ­ tions. 'He sees himself as a father who is willing to do all ­ and to give all to bring' about peace in his family. ' But he needs the support that prayers and sacrifices can giye. Those who want peace-and' who does not?~_ must be prepared to pay this price for peace. This must be a Year of :J;>eace--of prayers and sacrifices offered: for this end.

LONDON (NC)-John CardI­ nal Heenan of Westminster. making the commemoration ad­ dress to the Union Society of King's College, London Univer­ sity, criticized those who revolt for revolt's sake. Warning against student dem­ onstrations especially. the car­ dinal said: "That means not treating theory as if it were proven fact, not disturbing the peace before seeking other means of protest, not preaching unrestricted ,freedom as if this were. ' a self-evident truth." . As an antidote to the current wave of student unrest, C'ardi­ nal Heenan suggested that "re­ 'sponsible members of' staffs in universi\ties should encourage students to spend their meager time studying so that when they reach maturity they will have become sufficiently well in­ formed to lead public opinion."

COCHIN (NC) - An Indian , Protestant clergyman here urged CaJtholics and Protestants in In­ dia to set up joint committees to coordinate work of common in­ terest. Pointing out that the image of divided Christendom weak­ ened the impact of both the Catholic and Protestant tradi­ tions, the Rev. J. Russel Chan­ dran commented that India's non-Christian governments "will laugh at us and are laughing at us" because of the Catholic­ Protestant split. The clergyman, president of the United Theological College in Bangalore and second vice president of the World Council of Churches, also criticized Cath­ olics' weak knowledge of the decrees of the second Vatican Council. He urged close study of the council's decisions as a spur to Indian ecumenism.

Training at Schoo~

UMTALI (NC) - White stu­ dents at a CathoHc private school here were told they were privi­ leged to be receiving their ed­ ucation there but that they were riot being prepared for life in Africa. Bishop Donald R. Lamont, O. Carm., of Umtali, at a prize­ giving ceremony at M'arymount College here, said the girls' ed­ 'ucation at the school. was "not in any form geared to life in Africa," preparing them only "!for life elsewhere." Declaring that "it is vital that some attempt be made in the reorientation of European edu­ cation to meet Africa's needs," the bishop cIted the exclusion of such things as African lang­ uage and the African way of life and customs. Marymount college is opera,ted by the New York province of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary. The college is one of the few non-African schools in Rho­ desia to accept African students.

She said the reasons for sus­ pension of operations is to give faculty members a chance to in­ tensify their study of current I. trends in nursing educ~tion and the problems inherent iocon",:. ducting small schools of nursing. ." Problems which beset small schools of nursing 'to a greater degree than larger' schools, ac­ cording to Sister Caroline, in­ clude providing adequate num­ bers and, variety in patient se­ lection to meet the educational needs of students. The trend toward specialization and the growth of area medical centers has intensified the problem, she said. Other problems cited In re­ gard to the school include the financial deficit. "In the last fiscal year," Sister Caroline stated, "St. Gabriel's had a defi­ ~it of .$21,000, exclusive of donated services of Sister­ faculty." "In the event .the school closes," Sil!ter .Caro~ii:le said, . "the school tlnd residence facul­ ties o( St. Joseph Hall will be. fuUy utilized in one or other of severai, ,projects 0(' the Sister­ hood."

LANSING (NC)-A 500­ page report on educational finance in Michigan which, recommends that the efforts of church-related schools be en­ couraged, has drawn praise, for non public school officials of the state. Described as the most 'cOm­ prehensive study of school fi­ nancing in Michigan's history, the study, made possible through a $2 million appropriation by the legislature, was released here by the Michigan Board of Education. ' "The report recognizes both 'the public contributions non­ public schools are 'making and the financial difficulties they are having," said Dr. John P.

Cardinal Gracias Issues Warning On Controversy

THE ANCHOR-

Thurs. January 4, ] 968

f r"

PANJIM (NC)-Valerian Cardinal Gracias has warned that if India's people do not find a way to end the con­ troversy over an official lan­ guage, the nation will go down the road to anarchy. The cardinal spoke at the

Menezes Braganza Institute

here against a background of

riots and attacks on Catholic

schools by partisans who favor

IJindi as the nation's .sole official

.language. ,

The violence was prompted by introduction of a bill in the national parliament w h i c h would continue recognition of English along with Hindi as an official language. The outbreaks have affected, among others, the nation's Cath­ olic schools, most of which use EI1glish as the language of in­ struction. In Gwalior in northern India, Hindi, partisans attacked St. John the Baptist Church and school, attacked two parishion­ ers who tried to protect the church, and stoned a shrine to Our Lady on the: church grounds. Smear Sister 'In' Madras in southern' India, demonstrators raided" Notre 'Dame school, conducted by American nuns, and smeared one of the Sisters with tar. The recent outbreaks were , ~lOthing new, however. In north­ ern India particularly, language has long been the hottest polit­ ical and social issue, and riots staged by partisans of Hindi and other tongues have' claimed hundreds of lives in the 20 years since Indian independence. Cardinal Gracias in his talk chided the anti-English 'parti­ sans, and quoted the late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's be­ lief that English was necessary to India to aid the inflow of Western culture and scientific knowledge.

Pope 'Asks for Active Laity in Church Dispels Fa Ise Notions of Responsibility VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI, taking part in his first weekly general audience since his operation in November, told thousands in St. Peter's basilica that "every Catholic layman, every faithful son of the Church, can and must be active within the Church itself." The Pope had discontinued his usual weekly meeting with pilgrims and visitors in Rome late in September because of his rieed to prep'are for the prostate operation.' At his audi­ ence he appeared much im­ proved. His theme was the role

of the layman in the Church. He indicated that while over the past Inonths he had concen­ trated his remarks on the sig­ nificance of the weekly audi­ ences in terms of the devotion to the Pope those present nour­ ished, he now intended to speak of the role of' the laity. "This pl'inciple of the apos­ tolate of the laity, all laymen faithful to the Church, can have gl'eat repercussions within indi­ vidual souls, in parish commu­ -nities, in society and in the WOrld," he said. "There is a false notion rooted

Continued from Page One the Priests of St. Sulpice, com­ monly known as the Sulpician Fathers, who staff many semi­ naries in this country for class­ ical, philosophical and th~ologi­ cal training of Diocesan priests, Father Connerton was senior professor of moral theology at the time of his death. Born in Fall River on Nov. 7, 1908, the !l0n of the late James E. and Joanna F. Regan Con­ nerton, was a graduate of DUI'­ fee High School, Fall River, and attended St. Charles College, Catonsville, Md., and St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. Father Connerton was or­ dained on June 10, 1933 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River. Following ordination, he made his year of solitude that all Sulpician Fathers make before they enter the life of educating the secular clergy. Following two years at St. Edward's Seminary, Sea tile, Father Connerton was trans­ ferred to St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore where he started his studies towards a doctorate de­ gree in Sacred Theology. In 1940, Father Connerton was awarded an S.T.D. degree. He then served as professor ()f dogmatic and moral theology in St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, and in 1955 was transfelTed to St. John's Provincial Seminary, Plymouth, Mich. For a pel'iod he was vice-rector at the De­ troit Seminary. Surviving are five sisters: Misses Mary E., Elizabeth F., and Al'Jne L. Connerton and Mrs. Ernest (Jennie) Audet, aU of Fall River and Mrs. Edward (Catherine) Welch of New Bed­ ford. Several nephews and. nieces also survive. The concelebrants of the Mass of Requiem were: Rt. Rev. Al­ fred J. Gendreau, Rt. Rev. Ar­ t.hur W. Tansey, Rt. Rev. John E. Boyd, Very Rev. Eugene I. Van Antwerp, S.S. Also, Rev. William R. Jordan, Rev. James A. Dury, Rev. Ste­ phen J. Downey, and Rev. David L. Neiswanger, S.S. Rev. Raymond B. Meyer, S.S., Rev. Carroll J. Noonan, S.S., R.ev. Henry C. Dukehart, S.S., and R.ev. John T.

placed Himself within the bonds of flesh to counteract Lucifer's

and man's rebellious, "I will not serve!" He came clothed in pov­

His example we might learn His way.

Vietnamese Rengious Leaders Join in Peace Day Observance SAIGON (NC) Catholics were joined by representatives of other religions of Vietnam in Saigon cathedral Monday for ceremonies marking the Day of Peace requested by Pope Paul VI. Part of the Pope's peace mes­ sage was read and his prayer for peace was recited. Benedic­ tion of the Blessed sacrament concluded the ceremonies. .Archbishop Paul Nguyen Van Binh of Saigon officiated. Arch­ bishop Angelo Palmas, apostolic delegate to Vietnam attended. Ceremonies held in the late afternoon were followed by a reception in the Cathedral school. The apostolic delegation had sent the text of the Pope's mes­ sage with a Vietnamese trans­ lation to leaders of religious bodies, including the 24 mem­ bers of the Council of Religions. This comprises five Catholic, five Buddhist, five Hoa Hao, five Cao Dai, and four Confu­ cianist representatives. All of these were invited to the" Jan. 1 ceremonies in the cathedral. The apostolic delegate had at­ tended a meeting of the council and spoke on cooperation among religious groups, espe­

cially in regard to world peace. "Never before has there been such cordial understanding among religions," he said. He

Warns Britons Of Racism

ChU[f~~1j=~fr@teC@mJf~~~ft ~tD ~ I R<e$@~QD~® D~ SO~D@~ ~®~@[fhMU

OXFORD (NC)-The prior of Blackfriars in Oxford, 'a former missionary in South Africa has warned Britons against a rising racism in the country. Father Guy Braithwaite, O.P., said that one of the most fright­ ening experiences in South Africa was the way that many white Catholics spoke con­ temptuously of Africans and the Colored (of mixed blood). "Coming 'back to England, I regret to say I am beginning to hear the same phrases," he said. "Within the last two weeks, I have heard priests expressing points of view which are abso­ lutely typical of the hardening racial prejudice and they are using them without a second thought. "It just didn't occur to them that it was totally un-Christian. I am afraid of this," he said. In recent years, England has had a growing number of Negro immigrants from the British West Indies and from Africa, and dark-skinned natives of India and Pakistan. They have been subject to racial discrimi­ nation and' in some places have been the victims of violent at­ tacks.

Bishop Russel' Approves Extension Of Celebr~ting Mass in Homes RICHMOND (NC) -Bishop John J.

Mass in -the home formerly was limited to occasions when convales,cents were unable to attend Mass in the parish church. "In approving the extension, the bishop specified that home Masses may not be offered in a bedroom; may not be offered on Sundays or holy days of obligation; permission must be obtained from the appropriate pastor; friends and neighbors of the person in whose nome the Mass is celebrated are to be en-' couraged to attend; the people must be allowed full participation in the Mass; and a bomily should be preached and congregational singing encouraged.

Expect Congress to Consider

Administration of Draft Law

WASHINGTON (NC) - The draft law and its administration are expected to come in for at­ tention when Congress returns here Monday, Jan. 15. Some lawmakers said before Congress left town that they would introduce "comprehen­ sive" amendments to the draft law come the second session of the . 90th Congress. The topic has continued to be a live one, even with Congress in recess. Some legislators are dissatis­ !fied with the efforts Congress made last June toward amend­ ing the draft law. They claim it just "tinkered" with an act that is 25 years old and needs to be brought up to date. Controversial Directive While the debate last Sum­ mer turned largely on defer­ ments and who would get them (some persons were beginning to ask if students who were studying to become engineers and scientists wel'e more impor­ tant to the country than young men preparing to be teachers), the controversy simmering over the holidays had to do chiefly with a directive Selective Ser­ vice Director Lewis B. Hershey sent out to some 4,100 local draft boards on Oct. 26. He told the draft boards that those who engage in "ille­ gal activitity which interferes with recruiting" should be made immediately subject to draft. In a position paper which has been drawn up at the Selective Service headquarters only in recent days, the local draft boards are told that "where he (the registrant) engages in ac­ tivities inimical to the national interest the local board is legally and morally required to end the delay in his military service (his defer:ment) ." Differs with Clark These developments appar­ ently have developed a differ­ ence between Hel'shey and At­ torney General Ramsey Clark, who maintains that anyone who engages in illegal activities should be prosecuted by the Justice Department. Some Senators and Congress­ men have sided with Clark, saying Hershey would make the local draft boards judges and juries in determining whether interfering with recrui ting was megal. One Representative has said he wiJ) call Hershey up to Capitol Hill for questioning. Hershey, on the other hand, has said that "law enforcement agencies are free to undertake prosecution for any interim violation, such as failure to possess a draft cal·d." But he is said to feel that that prosecution by the Justice Department of such offenses as interference with recruiting is too time consuming. He has been quoted as saying that "to keep producing the people we need, you've got to move." Moreover, he points out that students are granted a defer­ .ment on the condition that they have "satisfactory school rec­ ords," and that their school rec"" ords involve more than just good grades. Convictions Increase Hershey has also been quoted as saying he would withdraw his Oct. 26 directive if President Johnson should tell him to do so. So far, apparently, the Pres­ ident has not intervened. Meanwhile, figures for the last fiscal year show twice as

many convictions for d raft law violations as the year before, 7~8 as compared with :l72, with stIffer sentences for those who were convicted. Interesting, too, is a revela­ tion Hershey has made in con-' nection with another phase of draft law opposition-the turn­ ing in of draft cards. There hasn't been as much of this as all the publicity might lead one to suspect, he said. Three of every four cards re­ ceived from anti-Vietnam war' protesters are not draft cards he asserted. He pointed to som~ 1,000 cards turned in during the Oct. 31 march on the Pentagon here, and said only 297 of these were valid draft cards. The others included organiza­ tion membership cards, business cards, credit cards, and a lot of driver licenses. The director of Selective Ser­ vice is inclined to believe that many protesters are given pause when it comes to the moment 'of discarding or mutilating their draft cards, and that they drop something else in' the collections (of draft cards) so as not to "look bad" before their com­ panions.

First Ordination In Khartoum KAMPALA (NC) - A young Sudanese became the first priest to be ordained in Khartoum when Father Dominic Matong received Holy Orders from Bish­ op Augustin Baroni, F.S.C.J., vicar apostolic of Khartoum, Sudanese capital. Father Matong was born in the vicariate apostolic of Wau in southern Sudan. After attending the junior seminary at Buessere, he completed his studies at the senior seminary at Tore. In 1965 the civil war and re­ ligious persecution in the South forced him and his felIow sem­ inarians to flee to Uganda, where he continued his studies at the seminary at Lacor. When the situation in the Sudan improved he returned to Khartoum and complE:,ted his studies with the Verona Fa·thers. Since the Sudan became an independent nation on Jan. 1, 1956, the government has sought to unify· the Arabic-speaking Moslem North with the predom­ inantly non-Moslem Negro south by imposing Arabic as the nat­ ional language and by promoting the Moslem religion. Guerilla warfare ootween Northerners and Southerners on racial and religious grounds be­ came widespread and troops from the North massacred thou­ sands of Southerners. Thousands of others fled the Sudan. In 1957 Christian " mission schools were nationalized and replaced with Moslem schools. The process culminated in 1962­ 64 when all remaining Catholic and Protestant missionaries were expelled from the country.

New' Jersey law Helps Migfi'@nt Farm Work®~~

PARIS (NC)-Five French priests are now working OIl!. lfishing bollits' or on ships of F·rance's merchant marine. This was noted in a report on· the Apostolate of the Sea presented by Coadjutor Al:'ch­ bishop Andrade Pailler of Rouen during the meeting of the per­ manent council of the French bishops here. Maurice Cardinal Feltin, retired archbishop of . Paris, presided over the meet­ ing in the absence of Joseph Cardinal Lefebvre of Bouges, who is in Rome. . Three of the sailor-priests,

Archbishop' Pailler said, had

'been in the first group of French

worker-priests. Other sailor­

priests will join them soon.

The permanent council also

considered' a plan for establish­

ment of an international chap­

laincy in seaports. Multilingual

priests would be available to

sailors of different nationalities.

:TRENTON (NC) - New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes has signed into law legislation which improves the lot of migrant workers, a measure which had the backing of church groups. .The Hughes administration had asked for legislation to pro­ vide better living quarters early in the year but little action was forthcoming until the state's·. Catholic and Episcopal Bishops put their weight behind t~e measure in the wake of a· traglc fire in which five children died. .The administration contended that living conditions in mi­ grant camps, most of them lo­ cated in the southern part of the state, were "inhumane." . .Provides Tax Relief The legislation: Increases penalties for viola­ tion and includes the concept that a violation is a continuing thing from day to day, subject to a $500 daily fine. Increases living space, for each worker from the present 30 to 40 square feet to 70 square feet for the first occupant 10 a eamp for migrant laborers and 50 square feet for each addi­ tional. occupant. Provides' that the same set of standards used for private dwellings must be met for water supplies at migrant camps. Prov~des for ultimate elimi­ nation of the pit privy and in­ stallation of water-borne sew­ age systems on every farm. . In addition, camps must be certified in advance before farm' workers are housed there.' All existing camps will be inspected before March 31 by the state . deparment of labor with the assistance of the department of health: The new law opposed by farm croups, passed the Senate with . ene .vote to spare after the Bishops' issued their statement. AlsO adopted was a measure giv­ ktg farmers some measure of tax relief for undertaking im­ provements.

Cardinal Refutes Critics 'of Bank RIO DE JANEIRO (NC) ­ .Jaime Cardinal de Barros Ca­ mara of Rio de Janeiro outlined the social justice activities of the archdiocesan Bank of Prov­ idence here in an attempt to refute critics' charges that the bank was fostering "paternalis­ tic" attitudes leading away from true social progress. In a televised report, the car­ dinal pointed out that one of the bank's first activities was the financing of a $12.6 million home-building program for the victims of 1966 floods. Other bank funds have gone to~ renewal projects in three Rio slums, while some $2 million has been invested in education. Smaller projects include aid to unwed mothers and medical and dental programs.

Lawrence High of Falmouth Again Cape Track Power By PETER BARTEK

Norton High Coach

Lawrence H1gh of Falmourbh is expected to run away with the laurels again this Winter itn the Southeastern' Massachusetts Winter Developmental Track Association and, in the process, corraH its second successive Capeway Oon­ ferenoe winter track title. The defending State Class C Barnstable. The norl-Capeway participating in the pro­ indoor champions and Bas­ schools gram will be Bishop Stang High bon Athletic Association meet of Dartmouth, New Bedford,

runner-ups of a year ago hope

to utilize the experience gained

in Develop­ ment&l Associa­ tion pleets to equal or surpass the accomplish­ ments of last season's team. Within the fmmework of developmental track associa­ tion by-laws no Peter won - and - lost association ~ st&ndings will be kept. But rat­ ings will be kept for the five Capeway Conference clul;>s in the circuit. The primary purpose of the association is to bridge the gap, between cross-country and. Spring tracks, and l offer the youngsters who do not par­ ticpate in basketball or hockey the opportunity to compete both at the Varsity and Junior Var­ sity levels during the interim. period. Contending with Falmouth for Capeway honors will be Dart­ mouth, Fairhaven, Wareham and .

New Bedford Vocational and Tabor Academy. All meets will be held at ei·ther New Bedford Voke, Falmouth or Tabor since these are the only schools equipped with board tracks. Understandably, Falmouth is considered almost unbeatable by opposing coaches who contend that the thrill of competition and the experience their boys will gain during the Winter will en­ hance their chances of a Blic­ cessful Spring track season. Dur­ ing the season when most track­ men are idle, the coaches say­ "our boys will be competing against some of the best per­ formers in the State and they will have the opportunity to participate in many events thllit are not contested during the outdoor track season." Association meets will in- I elude nine events. The running·, events will be the 45-yard high hW"dles, 50-yard dash, two mile run, 300-60o-and 1000 yard nms and the relay. Field events include the high jump and shot, put.
