Bishops are the "special custodians" of divine truth, the Pope pointed out, "and this high teaching office also demands a witnessing, if need be at the risk of one's own life.

Letter of Pope Tops News WASHINGTON {NC)-Pope Paul VI's encyclical on birth control, Humanae Vitae, was rated the No.1 Catholic news story of 1968. The encyclical stirred greater worldwide reaction and a wider degree of dissent within the Catholic Church than any No.8: Pope Paul's visit to Boprevious papal pronouncement in many years. No.2 gota, Colombia, to participate in the 39th International Eucharisspot in the annual NC News tic .congress.

Service poll of editors of Catholic newspapers in the U. S., and Canada was taken by the stories on the reactions to the encyclical among -national ·and regional hierarchies, theologians, priests and others.

In No. 3 place in .the poll to select the year's top 10 Catholic stories, was the controversy the encyclical caused between Patrick Cardinal O'Boy1e of Washington and a group of priests in the archdiocese, which .involved the disciplining of many of them.

The next seven top stories chosen by the editors were: No.4: The U. S. bishops' Fall mee.ting in Washington and the issuance of their second pastoral letter, Human Life in Our Day. Two Assassinations No.5: The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis and the nationwide Il'eaction to the slaying including the subsequent riots.

"Orthodox today does not seem to take the first place in the mind of Christians," the Pope said, explaining that liberties are taken wi th the "true heritage of Catholic doctrine."

Christ Rules In Church FULDA (NC)-The German bishops have said that it is impossible for the Catholic Church to have a completely demqcratic structure.

In a "Word on Questions of Faith and Churchly Life," released here after ·a special twoday session of the German bishops' conference" the bishops admit opinion for the cooperation of bishops, priests and laymen in the ministry of ;the Church.

But ,they said, "questions of faith, of moral norms and sacramental life cannot be solved by majority decisions. In these cases the principle of democracy, that all power comes f·rom the 'people, has no validity. Here the churchly office is obligated only to the Lord in faithful obedience," they said.

A full democratization of the Church, they said, is contrary to its mission given by Jesus . Christ.

The document stresses that every curtailment of falsification of .the reality of the God incarn~te, Jesus Christ, of His birth of the Virgin Ma·ry or of His death and His resurrection means departing from the faith of the Church.

NEW YORK (NC)--Jewish leaders have expressed concern over Pope Paul's recent statements on the Middle East crisis, with particular' reference to the Pope's .message to President Charles Helou of Lebanon. The presJde~t of the Synagogue Council of America, Rabbi Jacob P. from the recent past that overRudin, issued a 750-word identification with the most extreme expressions of the Arab statement expressing resent- cause will contribute to further

ment of "the application of a double standard by world political and religious leaders in their dealings with Israel and with the Arab countries."

The statement defended the Israeli commando raid on the Beirut airport - in which 13 Lebanese civilian aircraft were destroyed--:-as a legitimate response to "murderous provocations" and said that world leaders should have condemned the violence against Israel as well as the violence involved in the Beirut attack. ' The Synagogue Council ~ which represents Reform, Conservative and some Orthodox Congregations-referred to Pope Paul's message to the Lebanese government and said that the 'papal, statement "might have arrived two days earlier, following the violence perpetuated against an Israeli civilian aircraft and the life of one of its citizens."

Critical Opportunity The statement referred to an attack by Arab commandos on an El Al airliner at the Athens airport. The Athens incident, in which one Israeli passenger was killed, prompted the attack on the Beirut aircraft.

The Synagogue Council statement was made public before the Pope's New Year's statement in which he expressed dismay at continuing acts of "guerrilla warfare, terrorism and reprisal" in Palestine, Africa and Vietnam.

Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, national director of the interreligious affairs department of the American Jewish Committee, said the AJC department has'no official comment on the Synagogue Councit statement, but that his 'personal view is that "the present tragic Middle East crisis represents a critical opportunity for the religious community, and in particular the Christian community, to play a decisive role in relations between the Jewish community of Israel and the surrounding Arab peoples."

Rabbi Tanenbaum said: "It can only be hoped that Christian leadership will learn a lesson

Desperately Needed Peace He continued: "We are rapidly learning in the United States that uncritical indulgence in the black revolution of the resort to violence and physical destructic,n of lives and property in-' hibits rather than encourages meaningful social change. , "Similarly, i.n the Middle East crisis the failure to criticize Arab' guerilla warfare and terrorist tactics, against innocent civilians in' an Athens airport, encourages extremism and undermines the moral stan~ards of international justice and order.

"While Pope Paul VI, in his first statement to the president of Lebanon, 'appeared to take only one side in the case, it appears that in his subsequent statement on New Year's day, he has recognized that terrorism and violence from any source must be condemn'ed." ' Rabbi Tanenbaum concluded by saying. "We can only hope and pray that Christians, Jews and Moslems together will bend every effort to overcome the romanticizing' of warfare and violence in the Middle East and will seek to bring about the conditions for e~en-handed justice 'and physical and psychological security for Jews and Ar~bs who desperately need peace."

ROCHESTER (NC) The Rochester diocesan superintendent of schools has Warned officials and taxpayers of the 12county See that the closing of parochial schools here for financial reasons might turn 40,000 Catholic children over' to the public school Systems within the next two or three years.

Msgr. William M. Roche said public tax revenue for parochial schools is the only hope for their survival. The 102 parish schools and 17 privately run high schools of the diocese are in a fight for survival, he added.

Msgr. Roche, in an effort to alert public school boards to the possibility of a massive transfer of Catholic students in' a few years, stated: "The taxpayer must be made aware that this is coming. It is going to be his decision ultimately how this is going to be financed.

"It will be much cheaper, by as much as half, to give tax support to the parochial schools,

Msgr. Roche predicted that at the end of next Spring's semest¢r, many parishes of the diocese Will have to decide whether it ~ feasible to keep the schools oj;>en or not. If not various s~hools will be closed systematically "over' a two-to threey~ar period," he said.

son for troops to protect them on a 72-mile protest march from Belfast to Londonderry.

The civil rights advocates had to ride in police vans and buses through Antrim, five miles southeast of Randalstown, after Protestant extremists blocked their way and refused to let them walk through.

About 25 members of People's Democracy, a Belfast student group, had started out with sleeping bags and blankets on a four-day march to Londonderry.

By the time they ·had covered the 14 miles to Antrim, a predominantly Protestant town, the number of marchers had grown to almost 100.

The. confrontation with the Pro t est ant s occurred at a bridge on the outskirts of Antrim.

Charge Brutality A student leader said, "We have asked for troops because Northern Ireland's police force has shown it cannot uphold our rights."

After a series of civil rights demonstrations that began in Londonderry on Oct. 5, Catholics have charged that Northern Ireland's police have failed to protect them from Protestant extremists and have used brutality in suppressing clashes between Catholics and Protestants.

The demonstrations have been held to protest discrimination by Northern Ireland's Protestant majority ag~inst its Catholic minority in employment, housing and voting.

Bishop Suspends British Priest LONDON (NC)-The upheaval caused by the papal encyclical on birth control has generally died down in England and Wales and most penalties on the few dissident priests have been removed.

IBut the running controversy between Bishop Edward Ellis of Nottingham and a minority group of his laity flared up again when it was announced that 26~'ear-old Father John Keane of Woodthorpe had been suspended from preaching and hearing confessions.

Nottingham's Ad Hoc Committee of Laity, small active group of campaigners for liberalism in the Church, issued a statement saying they were "shocked and saddened by this latest in a line of suspensions."

Father Keane, 'whose suspension followed an interview with the bishop concerning the papal €ncyclical, is the fourth priest ill the Nottingham diocese to be suspended. Father Keane, an Irishman, is expected to leave the parish and the diocese in a short time.

Organi%~ Taiwan Caritas Exil·ed Bishop Donaghy Named Director

Maryknoll to TAIPEI (NC)-A Maryknoll priest who for 20 years has been a representative of the U. S. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been named to organize Taiwan Caritas, an affiliate of Caritas Internationalis, international Catholic charities organization with headquarters in Rome.

Father Paul J. Duchesne, M.M., of Cohoes, N. Y., has been appointed by the bishops' conference here as executive secretar.y of the newly. established Caritas branch and is responsible for organizing Caritas in the seven dioceses of Taiwan.

The 54-year-old priest brings the experience .gained from long years of service with Catholic Relief Services in Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam and Taiwan to his new job. Although exiled Bishop Frederick Donaghy, M.M., Wlichow, China, from New. Bedford, has been chosen director of national caritas here, the burden of planning and guiding falls to Father Duchesne.

The CRS program has been phased out in Taiwan, for the same reason that direct U. S. aid and the program of the U. S. Agency for International Development was phased out - the steady economic progress here.

Service Important "In Taiwan today service is more important! than relief," Father Duchesne said. "Local possibilities of revenue must be explored and exhausted before

looking abroad for funds. The first year's Caritas budget is to be an exception."

At the inaugural Cari tas meeting here with the seven newly appointed diocesan directors, all priests with one lay exception, and Bishop Donaghy as chairman. Father Duchesne laid down some guidelines from his years of experience in social work and from material gathered at the Hong Kong Caritas seminar.

"Setting up Caritas is not so difficult," he told his hearers.

"Making it work, planning for the future, is not so easy. Considering the changes in Taiwan during the past five years what would ·our chances be, by all the surveys and studies possible, to try to make a five-year plan for Caritas? Let us be realistic and talk about one year ahead," Social Problems Father Duchesne briefly reviewed the social problems in Taiwan.

The plane 'has been discovered near the town of Lethem, out of which it had flown .without the permission of Bishop 'Richard L. Guilly, S.J., of Georgetown or the local Jesuit superior. It is presumed that the pilot was pressured by terrorists into flying the plane, a spokesman for the diocese said.

Social security provisions?

These will come with, private and governmental retirement plans, mutual health societies, credit u'nions, cooperatives.

"Wages? Supply and demand will force wages to rise, treatment of employes will follow automatically when unions come in. These will come when there are not two jobs for every person. This is coming soon.

"Housing? Coming along fine.

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The National Conference of Catholic Charities, through its directors of cha'rities and its Commission on Aging, will hold a Pioneer Institute on Planning for P.reRetIrement and Retirement for Priests here Jan. 20-22.

A parallel institute on retirement patterns for nuns was held in the Spring.

The institute will consider the issues of mandatory and voluntary 'retirement of priests and their continued status in the Church as well as such practical aspects of retirement as possible varieties of living arrangements, financial needs and funding, psychological preparation for retirement, and the contributions and potential of retired priests.

Preparation for the institute included a grass roots ·survey on questions of importance to all priests in all 'age brackets in two religious orders and five dioceses embracing a cross section of rural and metropolitan areas.

The planning committee was drawn from,among the directors vi Catholic Charities, the National Federation of Priests' Councils. members of the NCCC Commission on Aging, the Catholic Hospital Association, and priests who coordinate diocesan retirement programs. Chairman is Msgr. Edward E. -Michelin, director of charities in the Natchez-Jackson diocese and a member of the Commission on Aging.

Minneapolis Parish Adopts Mission MINNEAPOLIS (NC) -:.. Concern for Catholics elsewhere has led to the adoption of a small rural mission parish in Georgia

by St. Thomas the Apostle parish here.

Through the church mission guild, St. Thomas parish has pledged $2,000 a year or more, to supplement the small income of the Sacred Heart mission church in Waynesboro, Ga. The adoption idea began when a small group of parish women . expressed a desire to do something for Catholics outside of their own area and formed the mission guild.

Where the Action Is

THE ANCHOR-:Diocese oj: Fall River-Thurs., Jan. 9, 1969

Pope to Bishops

-'

Correcting Emphases Church historians of the future will look at Vatican Council II and its aftermath and will conclude that it did what every Church Counci strives to do-inspire a' renewal of holiness, express uilchanging doctrine in more modern language, correct emphases that may have gone ' too far in one direction.

This latter work is one that cannot be forgotten.

It happens often that human. beings, because they are human and see' things one facet and one aspect at a time, can easily place too much emphasis upon one element in a truth or in a' custom and so can bring about a distortion.

The emphasis on the priesthood of the ordained Christian led to a neglect of the priesthood of every baptized Christian and so this distortion is being today corrected with a new emphasis on. the vital role of the laity in the life and work of the Church. " The emphasis on the presemce of Christ in the Blessed Sacrame.nt led to a neglect of the dynamic role of the Mass and this distortion is now being corrected in a more forceful emphasis on the activity of Christ and those united with Him in the Mass.

The emphasis on sin as a disorder in a man's relationship with God led to a neglect of sin as an offense also against the whole Christian community and this distortion' is now being readjusted with an emphasis on sin as a betrayal of the community. .

Likewise, too much emphasis on one aspect of a custom has led to distortions now being corrected.

Among religious, concern for the rule became so emphasized that it took cn an almost sacramental quality arid' this distortion is now being corrected by viewing the' rule as it is, a means to achieve the goal of the Gospels.' .

The religious habit took on such. ali emphasis that it almost overshadowed the fnterior habits, that .it was meant to represent, l!ond as a result this distortion is now being corrected with a greater ,·emphasis on' the person rather than the dress. . . -It must be remembered, however, that. while it is the work of renewal to correct emphases·that. have'become distorted,-this'goal is ~ot achieved bysubstitutii1'g:;an~.emi" Phasis that goes, in an opposite distorted dIrection.' This' would be substituting one dist9rtion·for another. ".'"

Renewal is not aChieved this, way.' ,,' .'

Continued from Page' One in which "profane thought seeks a new expression with its security," the Pope said.

Pope Paul told the bishops: "You are the pre-eminent disciples of revelation, and no one more than you is the custodian of this heritage of divine. truth.

"The teaching of the fai th does not have 'the power to pose itself by its very announcement as do the truths of the rational order,which can be heard and diffused by their intrinsic evidence. The faith' is founded in the wor<l of God and Christ and of Him who is His faithful' witness."

The Pope said that the "first attitude toward our episcopal. vocation should be the faith (l (l (l a faith pure and whole toward revealed truth." ' He concluded that this attitude toward the faith is respected .by every Christian. "But in us teachers,. us shepherds, us bishops, this attitude must be perfect and exemplary."

The occasion was the consecration of 12 prelates among whom were four Americans: Archbishop Raymond Etteldorffrom Ossian, Iowa, newly appointed apostolic delegate for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Bishop Paul Marcinkus from Cicero, Ill., secretary of the Holy See's Institute for Works of Religion.

Missions Depend On . Development Of Communities PHILADELPHIA (NC)The modern missionary must help to form two types of communities, one of worship <Ind the other of development, a visiting -Dutch-born bishop of fin Indonesian diocese said here.

Bishop Willem von Bekkum of Ruteng, Indonesia, said Catholic ::.chools in mission lands have been a big element in social cha.nge.

"Once you have made your people conscious of new needs and aspiration," Bishop von Eekkum said, "You can't tell them, 'Stop!'"

"You might call our new approach a 'psychosomatic spirituality,''' he said. "You have to help cure the social problems of which your own educational sy~tem makes people, aware."

"Spontaneous community development" is the term the bishop uses to describe one of the aims of his missionary work.

"Before," he said, "the Church was chiefly interested in founding institutions, not in development. But this was not helping to create a sense of rp.sponsibility among those we were educating. We were not treating them as adults, and some of them resented it.

Students' Spirit "And so," the bishop commented, "during our anti-communist revolution in Indonesia, Catholic organization's as such failed. It was the living spirit of Christian students 'which resulted in a spontaneous response ·-and this is what we should attempt to develop: a spirit of independence and of Christian maturJty." ~.'

Bishop von Bekkum said the greatest need in his remote diocese is the development of cocperatives which will stimulate and coordinate "cottage industries."

"And we need a social survey on the best forms of community development in our area," the bishop concluded. "We need to use e~perts. What we did in the past wasn't wrong, but it wasn't enough. We have missed many opportuni ties because we didn't ('xpand our vision as 'we educated our people."

Cardinal Protests Priest's Expulsion CAPE TOWN (NC) - Owen Cardinal McCann of Cape Town has voiced a protest to the South African government against its termination ()f residence in this country by a Dutch professor at St. Peter's seminary in Hammanskraal.

The government lias ordered Father Rob Van der Hart, O.P., to leave South Africa by Jan .. :11, 1969, giving no specific reason for the order but indicaUng, through the interior department, that Father Van der Hart's continued presence in the country is regarded as undesirable.

Cardinal McCann's .protest is directed against the government's silence on the reason for Its action against the priest. He said the priest should at least be given an opportunity to defend himself.

Father Van der Hart, trained at Nijmegen, The Netherlands, has been on the seminary staff for the past four years. He is well known in South Africa for his lectures on contemporary thought, modern philosophy and philosophical theology. He has 31so been active in ecumenical affairs. '

Sisters atSI. Anne ~s Plan Long-Range Mission Program to Aid Kerala Indians A long-range, supremely practical mission aid plan is in its early stages at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, where nine novices from India are receiving religious and technical training that will enable them to return to their homeland equipped to aid their countrymen. The eventual goal of all missioners is to supply a country with native clergy and religious, in the meantime providing for immediate needs as well as possible, despite barriers of language and culture. The St. Anne's plan is accomplishing this at a leap.

It began three year~ ago when Mother Marie Ascension, administrator at St. Anne's was asked by a nun at the community's French motherhouse to do what she could for a Capuchin missioner in India, Rev. Claude de Chengalour.

Correspondence with Father Claude disclosed that his area's greatest need was for reHgious training facilities for young people with vocations.

The St. Anne's Sisters agreed to 'include three girls from India in each group entering their Dighton novitiate. The first three girls enrolled under the plan will be professed this year and will then receive training enabling them to operate a dispensary in India.

Advocate Help To Inner City NEWARK (NC)-A proposal governing the inner-city apostolate was sent to Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark by at least two groups of priests of the a.rchdiocese.

Basically, the proposals suggest that only priests who wish to work among blacks and the Spanish-speaking be assigned to parishes where the apostolate is involved. .

The original proposal was made by the Newark Archdiocesan Association of Priests ~everal weeks ago. but was not made .public until the North Hudson Clergy Group, a regional association, acted favorably on the same suggestion.

Meanwhile a thin line of pickets marched in a snowstorm around the chancery office here 'to dramatize a request that the Church become more involved in overcoming racial injustice and povert.y problems.

It was the second time in less than a week that the chancery was picketed. On the first occasion the chancery office was closed and there was no one to <Jccept the nine-point program proposed by the demonstrators.

PHOENIX (NC)-Tax relief for parents is needed to meet the pressing financial problems of Catholic schools, Bishop Francis J. Green of Tucson said here..

The Arizona 'prelate spoke at a meeting of clergy. teachers and parents at which the !inancial difficulties of five Catholic l:igh schools in the metropolitan Phoenix area were discussed.

He said abandoning Catholic schools and relying on Confrate-rnity of Christian Doctrine classes for their students is no answer.

"To say that CCD classes are the equivalent of, a parochial school education is whistling in ihe dark,'" Bishop Green said.

"Students won't always attend the extra CCD classes after school, and when they do they d.on't feel they need to pay attention."

But, the bishop added, supporting Catholic high schools is a major burden for' Catholic parents "when they have to borrow money to do it."

The problem is that there's not even enough money in the state to support public schools," he said ..

It was suggested that efforts be made to obtain direct assistance for Catholic schools !from the state legislature or tax rebates for parents of children attending such schools. A committee has been organized in one area here to investigate the possibi'lity of seeking such aid.

'Plan Ecum'enism In New Town ·LON.DON (NC)-Catholic and Protestant clergy' are jointly planning an experiment in prac.tical ecumenism for a completeiy new town in Britain.

The new fown named Thamesmead-for about 70,000 Londoners-is being established along the south side of the River Thames' on the eastern fringe of the. ca·pital.

The churches are planning to move in as a team, ignoring their separate traditions and organizing religion in the new town as an interdenominational effor,t.

The self-contained. streamlined modern town of young lower income families-which is costing the London civic authorities about $500 millionwill, by its completion in about i5 years contain a large central ecumenical complex for the use of all its Christian people.

Costing about $500,000, of which the .various churches will provide a share," the complex will include a communal church, . a Catholic chapel, a community hall, a restaurant, committee and study rooms and other facilities.

Two smaller "pastoral units," each supervised by a resident minister, will also be plac'ed at strategic points inside the town.

'3 {. par ate denominational churches will only be built where the need for them is established.

tions by defense counsel to dismiss the state charges.

Atty. Percy L. Julian, Jr., of Madison, argued for dismissal on the grounds that federal charges pre-empt . jurisdict:ion under Wisconsin statutes and that the information -in the complaints is deficient.

The 13, along with two othel's, have been indicted by a federal grand jury in c(mnection with the draft records burning. All are free on bond.

Julian pleaded for dismissal, claiming that Selective Service ,Jilel' ar~.. of federaldo1TIllin and . therefore. the ,state has no inter-· . estldn'l thc! case...He also noted that a question :of double punishment "is woven throughout the whole matter."

Complaints Well Drafted The defense attorney explained that the complaints are deficient because the description of the alleged crimes is too general and that "all are. essentially the same."

In his decision, Judge Coffey said the court carefully reviewed and examined supreme court cases and found nothing inconsistent in state charges against the defendants.

"The mere fact that 'it is possible to violate. both laws (federal and state) by the same acts does not suggest determination of conflict between federal laws and the laws of Wisconsin," he concluded.

He said in his judgment tlwt the compilaints that have been filed "are very well drafted." . . . . . . . '• • • *, •.* _'i' . • • • :*

Plead for Peace In Middle East

EDINBURGH (NC)-The uniqueness of papal authority and loyalty to the Pope were stressed in a pastoral letter of Archbishop Gordon J. Gray of St. Andrew's and Edinburgh, president of the Scottish Bishops Conference.

Loyalty to the pope, he said, "is not a sentimental loyalty, but a loyalty rooted in our Catholic 'belief that the Holy Father is the vicar of Christ on earth, an-d that 'his directives and guidance enjoy a unique authority.

"Although these directives have rarely 'attached to them the stamp of 'infallibility, nevertheless they always deserve and demand a hearing more attentive than that given to any other voice, Nor does the absence of the stamp of infallibility imply that they need not be accepted.

NEW YORK (NC) - Three Christian leaders of Egypt have called upon "fellow Christians" of the United States to urge the U,S. government "to press the United Nations with the awful seriousness" of the Middle East situation and "make a g·reat effort to arrange a settlement based on justice," In a letter to Dr. R. H. Edwin Espy, general secretary of the Na.tional Council of Churches, leaders of the Catholic Coptic rite, Coptic Orthodox anCi Coptic Evangelical Churches in Egypt voiced the fear of imminent war again in the Middle East, bringing with it "further suffering among the innocent of both sides," probably "disaster to the nations of the Middle East," and possible "confrontation between. the great powers" and an ex'plosion into a world conflict.

The letter cited as "even worse than th~ continuing threat of violence" in the Middle East the "deepening sense of injustice and the growing conviction that there is no solution outside war," It recalled the ha.rdships of refugees, declaring that another generation of Arab children is being insufficiently fed and sheltered. It said that Arab young men, "taught to hate injustice and to respect the dignity of all men," now find it easy "to learn to hate the hand by which injustice is done."

"We have seen hundreds of t;10usands of innocent people," the letter said, "the great majority of them women, children and youngsters, languishing in our crowded refugee camps, displaced from lands and homes to which they long to return,"

Shall We Help'Them Now, Or Let the Children Die?

By BaTbam WaTd

We have just enjoyed a fE!stive time, marked, as usual, 'by a good deal of serious eating. It was specially a time for children and the juvenile ability to consume unlimited quantities of mince pie, Christmas cake, candy, ice cream, lollipops, nuts-you name it, they eat it-came into its

own during the days of festival. So it is both a good time and a bad time to ask whether it matters if other children go perpetually hungry. It is a good time b e c a use the message of the Child born in the manger is hardly ,that God confines His good gifts to the affluent.

Yet it is a bad time because "the poor are always with us" an the very last time at which we want to be reminded of the fact is when we are enjoying the pleasures and diversions of a holiday season.

Nobody at Belchazzar's feast felt particularly delighted to see 'the writing on the wall. There is no reason to suppose contemporary Christians are' likely to feel' any happier.

He said that tbe Church lems that face them was the ' looks upon these youths with topic of Pope Paul's brief talk to great hope, convinced "of the

mature and profound seriousness" with which they take their obligations.

"Have faith in these young people," Pope' Paul exhorted.

The young, he said, are capable of "giving back a hundredfold for one of those seeds planted in their avid minds which seek to know."

that some experts reckon that of the billion children alive there today, a half-or even moremay not outlive their teens.

And this lifespan itself will be full of the aches and griefs of poor health, poor food, a shack for a, home and a few years of illiterate toil before the 'end.

In the middle of the carnage of World War I, an English poet, Wilfred Owen, cried out in agony: What Answer "Was it for this the clay grew tall?"-the clay of our common flesh, our common humanity. Should we not ask ourselves today whether it was for this life of misery and deprivation that God fashioned humanity as a common family? Was it His plan that 25 per centmany white and Christianshould have everything while the rest drag along?

What answer ,do we give as we leave our half-empty plates and throw out-'the waste. of a dozen Christmas meals and. look at our children, noisy, boisterous, vitamin-crammed and heaQing for a life of 60 years?

It is hard to believe that accepting these benefits-gratefully or not, but certainly without any particular surprise-is the response God expects' or that privilege on this scale is "His Will that makes our peace."

This is a question not only for 1969 as the year begins. It will be true more urgently in 1970 -by which time there will be' about 150 million m~ people in the world, mainly poor. It will be there more 'agonizingly still in 1975, when world population may be increasing, by 80 millions a year and half a billion more people," th,reequarters of them poor, will be on our planet, needing food and water, ,clothing, shelter I and work. We cannot wish them away. They are already, as it were, built into today's ra.tes of fertility and family formatio'n.

We have only two choices-to do something about them or let the children die.

But this is not a hopeless question. It could be a liberating one. For we know at' least one thing about our resources today ,-they can feed the world if we , decide to do so.

Yet if, indeed, "development is the new name for peace'~ and failure to develop the new root of conflict,' the ,Christmas blessing "peace to! men who are God's friends" must have an undertone of fear and failure.

For can we call ourselves "God's friends" as we rise from the happy, well-covered tables of our feasts and remember the plight of other children in other lands? ' In West Africa, for example, two out of every five children do not live to be five. In Brazil's North East, the figure is nearer three out of five. In the crowded city slums of Latin America or Asia, we hardly know the percentages for so many babies are simply not registered. 'But the estimates are that 40 to 50 per cent of the 'children do 'not re,ac.h four years, Why? The greatest single cause is, of eourse, undernourishment and the diseases which become killers because of it.

Backs Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty <

Cardinal Cushing Stresses Ratification BOSTON (NC)....,..Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston cited peace, ratification of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and constructive use of technoligcal advances as among the most important concerns of the new year.

"With all necessary precautions -being taken to insure national security, we must insure the earliest possible ratification of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty," the cardinal said. "To choose an alternate course would be to build with one hand and tear down with the other."

'Cardinal Cushing called upon all men to contri-bute to the life of the community and upon students to allow reason to prevail at uni versities.

"As we enter the last year of the turbulent 1960s," he said, "we must determine the new beginnings we must make if this New year is'to be worthy of man and acceptable before God ¢

¢

¢

"We must work to ensure that the breaks in the clouds of war herald the dawn of a new day in international negotiation and global harmony.

"Ours is the supremely urgent task to discover the spiritual significance of science and technology and the possibilities they offer for the achievement of God's creative design and of harmony among men."

Crisis of Integrity

Cardinal Cushing said men must confront. what he called a "crisis of integrity"-"that naked confrontation in which we become fully conscious of our existence vis-a-vis the fullness of the world ¢ 0) 0) of which we are a part and to which we· must contribute."

Regarding universities, the cardinal said they are central to building a new world. "We must

not compromise' its mission. The university must never deteriorate into a 'greenhouse for flowering anarchists,'" he warned.

"The work awaiting our toil will not be finished in our lifetime," Cardinal Cushing said, "but let 1969 be the year in

which'" ...... we begin to share in the action and passion of our time."

"May the blessing of God guide our work as we begin to build that world here on earth ·that could have been and should have been, and never was."

ROME (NC)-The governing council of the World Jewish Congress opened a four-day meeting here with Jewish Christian relations high on the agenda.

About 40 regional. leaders came to Rome for the meeting from the United States, Canada, South and Central America, Australia, Europe and Israel.

After completing their business in Rome, most of them were moving on to Israel for talks with Prime Minister Levi Eshkol.

Other items on the agenda of the Rome meeting, which was held behind closed doors, were the Arab-Israeli conflict, pressures upon Jews in Eastern Europe, and ,Jewish-Negro relations in the United States.

At a press conference on the eve of the meeting, the secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, Dr. Gerhard Reigner of Geneva, Switzerland, observed that the Second Vatican Council's document on the Jews was "not entirely satisfactory" but that it "has created the foundations of a desire on the part of many Catholic bishops to understand not only Judaism's ancient roots. but today's living Judaism."

He continued, "This presupposes a new attitude on the Church's part, an acceptance of Judaism as it is and of the Jew as he is. It presupposes acceptance of the Jews as a people sui generis, not just as a religion.

It presupposes acceptance of the fact that we have no concerns for our national existence."

NEW YORK (NC)-The

planes to aid Biafran relief efforts has dismissed as "completely groundless" Nigerian charges that the planes may be used to ship arms to Biafra.

Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, head of U. S. Catholic Relief Services, one of the religious relief agencies which will share with the International Red Cross eight former U. S. military transports for the Biafra airlift, said the agencies "have only one purpose: to· bring food and medicine to the hundreds of thousands of innocent humans facing starvation."

The bishop's statement was made the day after Nigeria's head of state, Maj. Gen. Yakubu .

Gowon, summoned U. S. Ambassador Elbert Mathews and warned him that the use of U. S. planes in the relief airlift could have "serious consequences."

A Nigerian statement on the meeting said the use of U. S. transports, which will be turned over to the relief agencies and flown .by civilian crews, carried no guarantee that they will not be used to transport arms to Biafra.

'Prolonglng War' The government-owned Lagos Morning Post called the U. S. relief aid "a hostile act." The Lagos government has repeatedly charged that the shipment of food and medicine to Biafra, in which it is estimated some 12,000 persons starve daily, is prolonging the 18-month-old war and contributing to, rather than halting, starvation.'

The Nigerian statement said the use of surplus U. S. aircraft in the relief effort would: "Directly and indirectly increase the arms-carrying capacity of the rebels. Organizations like Caritas have admitted they gave space to the rebels in their planes to carry whatever they like. They would be .able to donate their present planes entirely to the rebels for traffic in arms. (Caritas Internationalis, the Vatican-based relief agency which cooperates in the airlift inmmediately denied the latter charge.)

"Strengthen the rebel leaders in their rejection of land and water routes which all international agencies agree to be the most effective means" to feed Biafra's civilians.

"Encourage the rebels to continue to resist and prolong the war, thinking that the U. S. government was now prepared to intervene in their favor" 0 0" Accept Inspection Bishop Swanstrom noted that CRS, in cooperation with Caritas, operates relief programs in Nigeria as well as in Biafra.

He added: "It is vitally important for all to know that no relief planes have ever carried arms, ammunition or personnel which would in any way further the war for either side.

"We have continually expressed our readiness to accept inspection procedures which would be acceptable to the Nigerian government as well as the Biafra leaders."

He noted that Nigerians have -inspected Ir.ternational Red Cross planes, and suggested that International Red Cross or Portuguese Red Cross personnel inspect planes flown by the religious agencies from the Portuguese island of Sao Tome.

He takes the position that Chavez speaks for only a small minority of farm .workers in California and that consequently his efforts to force the, growers to deal with his union are totally injustified.

The answer to this, it seems to me, is extremely' simple. It was stated very clearly, within' recent weeks, ,by Bishop Floyd Begin of Oakland, Calif. All that the growers need to do, the bishop said, is to agree to "iinpartial,Iy.. supervised electiori~."

In a letter of thanks to the Cardinal, the p1jrish council expressed gratitude for the appointment' of Father Rollins E. Lambert to succeed Father Gerald P. Scanlan. Father Lambert has been pastor of SI. James parish. ' .

The letter acknowledged "the grave responsibility of a bishop in choosing a pastor," and pledged to meet the Cardinal's generosity "by giving ourselves

an additional' black Christmas present - a parish firmly and faithfully united behind Father Lambert * (0 (0 Father Scanlan « ¢ * and Father Clements."

Two weeks earlier the parish council had petitioned the Cardinal to appoint Father George E. pements, who is also a black priest and associate pastor at St. Dorothy's, to be the new pastor. The letter, which was read at all Sunday Masses, reiterated the plea for a pastorate for Father Clements, who will remain as an assistant to Father Lambert.

The parish council also went on record commending Father Scanlan~ for his years of service as pastor.

Former Diplomat Elected Abbot

MADRID (NC) - A former diplomat and lawyer has been elected abbot of the Benedictine abbey of the Holy Cross in the Valley of the Fallen, a memorial city 30 miles north of here.

He is Abbot Luis Maria de Lojendio, 61, who joined" the Benedictine Order in 1960 after a long career in law and diplomacy. He is the author of a commentary on St. Paul's epistles, which has been translated into several languages. He was for many years head of the information office of the Spanish ministry of foreign affairs.

After joining the Benedictines he was made prior of the abbey of San Salvador in Leyre, Navarre.

The Valley of the Fallen is a memorial city dedicated to the victims of the civil war in 19361939: Built by Chief of State Gen. Francisco Fran<:o, it includes a church carved in the live rock, the abbey, a large cemetery and pilgrim halls.

bishop of that church has claimed.

Russian Orthodox Archbishop Cyprian Sernow, formerly the Moscow patriarchate's exarch for Berlin and mid-Europe but now head of a parish in Moscow, made his claim in the Germanlanguage Soviet 'periodical, "Soviet Union Today."

He stressed that his church is governed by its elp-cted bodies and that it receives no financial support from the government, but depends on donations of the faithful. The government merely allows the church ,to have indefinite and gratuitous tenancy of church buildings and estates, ile said.

'Archbishop Sernow maintained that government interference in church affairs occurred in the eountry on'ly before the communist revolution in 1917, and that since then some conflicts developed only because "a certain part of the clergy, Pope Consecrates educated in the spirLt of monAmerican Bishops archy, offered fierce resistimce 'GUIDELINE': The new Guideline television program, succesSOr to The Catholic Hour, opened to everything new."

Magazine Names Advisory Board

Foresees Relief Services Need For Long Time

ST. MEINRAD (NC) - The publisher 'and editors of Marriage magazine named an advisory board to assist ,the magazine's ecumenical approach to the relationship betw,een husband and wife.

The board includes a psychiatrist, ,an obstetrics and gynecology professor, a psychology professor, a marriage counselor, an Episcopal priest, a co'uple who instruct in college, a family soc:ology professor and the marriageand family director for the Churches of Christ. The teaching couple are the only Catholics on the board. .

Father Paschal Boland, O.S.B., magazine publisher, saH:J: "Thl editors and I are extremely grateful to this distinguished group of professionals for join.ing in our efforts to make Marriage a more meaningful publication for all husbands and wives. .

"Their talents will be used to interpret speculative articles, to provide ideas, to critique our efforts and to provide articles of their own."

NEW YORK (NC) World conditions do not seem to be getting much better insofar as need is

concerned in the opinion of Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom, director of the Catholic Relief Services, who foresees a contInuation of the church-sponsor-, ed program "for 'a great deal longer."

Provide Black Pastors Another proposal adopted provides: "In this ·time of such urgent need for black priests to be engaged in the direct and immediate apostolate to 'the black community, t.he provincial council should earnestly consider the possibility of releasing from teaching assignments in our seminaries, those black priests of 'this province who express a desire for pastoral assignments."

"Moreover as a practical application of sound missological and pastoral theory, and as an appropriate response to current developments in the black community," the proposal continued, "the provincial council should do all in its power to provide black pastors as soon as possible for the black parishes of the Northern Province."

Divine Word missionaries in the Northern Province serve in parishes in Chicago and St. Louis. Parishes served by other Uni·ted States provinces of the society include San Francisco; Los Angeles; l'renton, N. J., and scores 'of others in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas.

Harding Story 'Is Valuable For Political· IDisclosure

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy I well remember the August day in 1923 when Warren G. Harding died. I was at my aunt's house. From the next room I heard them discussing the President's sudden death. "How old was he?" one of them asked. ·The other replied,' "Fifty-seven."

Harding liked to travel and "He was young!" said the he liked to make speeches, first. It was those last three blatherskiting effusions innocent words which impressed me. I of ,meaning but somehow -stir-

thought them wildly funny.

Needless to say, I have since come to see them as sober truth.

The life, death and just about , everything else, I'~'<.i:' of Harding are "'" treated in a, j/:.// gargantuan book,

by Francis Rus-' . sell, The Shad-, ow of Blooming Grove: Warren ' G. Harding in , His Times, (McGraw-Hill. 3'30 W. 42nd St., New York, N. Y. 10036. $10).

Harding was on,e of the least notable Presidents of the United States, and one d~ubts that there is any great clamor, 45 years after his passing, for an exhaustive account of his career.

But Mr. Russell has produced a thoroughly researched and readable chapter of American history which is as instructive as it is unedifying.

Newspaper Business The title of the book, rather inept I would say, derives from the allegation, which dogged Harding throughout his life, that he was, in part, of Negro descent. This matter Mr. Russell never clears up. In any case, it is now of no impo,:tance, although in earlier days, and especialiy in earlier politics, it was a baleful factor.

Harding was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio, in 1865. At 14, he entered an institution calling itself a college, and completed, its two-year course. In tha.t same year, 1882, his family moved to the tiny town of Marion, Ohio, With which Harding was to -be identified thereafter, and which he probably never should have left.

He tried his hand at teaching, made an attempt at reading law, was briefly an insurance agent, t~n backed into the newspaper business. The paper was the Marion Star, a small, struggling daily which, over the years, grew with the town and flourished. ' Essentially Empty Harding was editor from the outset of his association with the paper, and eventually became owner. When, as President, he sold the Star, it brought him $550,000. .

Harding's editorial style w'as bluff and hearty, without substance. Much the same was true of the man. He was big and handsome, an imposing looking person, but essentially empty.

He read little or nothing, was lazy, \yould spend hours and hours at poker and drinking. His ideas were few and paltry. He was a poor judge of people. He could be manipulated.

He married Florence Kling DeWolfe who was five years his senior, an abrasive, domineering) unfeminine woman who relentlessly pursued him., He had affairs with other women, one of these lasting for 15 years until his election to the Presidency, another, with the celebrated Nan Britton, lasting longer and almost to his death.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The people of the United States are about to be told that there is a gt:,eat deal of undernourishment I in this country.

And the malnutrition exists not only among the poor, but also among the fairly well-to-do, and especially among youngsters. It would seem that, in the midst of plenty a great many people don't know how to take advantage of the food we have., Asa result they are unhealthy. n isn't always that people don't eat enough, but that they eat Ithe wrong things. Rather, they don't eat the right things, like fruit and fruj.t juices, leafy vegetables and milk.

This seems to be borne out particularly in the case of teenagers, where it is said that a collateral problem is. obesity.

Youngsters, presumably, are'eating things that put. on ,the weight rather than nourish properly. ' The U. S. Department Of Health, Education andWeltare has been -going, into aU this.

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE fly mEA 1. BARTEK

Durfee High Again Looks Like BeL Powerhouse The name of Durfee High of Fall River is synonymous with basketball throughout the Commonwealth. Annually, the Hilltoppers are among the leaders in the tough Bristol County basketball league as well as participants in the post - season Tech tournaDurfee's strength always ment. More often than not prognosticators say t hat seems to rest on Coach Karam's ability to "find" a newcomer to "Durfee will be hard pressed the varsity ranks who will turn to retain its status this season."

Challenges come from every sector of the County. But, just as often the forces of Coach Tom Karam follow' tradition and finish either close to or on top in the final league standings.

Again this Winter optimism resounded from every part, of the diocese with a County League school. Attleboro and New Bedford followers were confident their local heroes would dethrone the perennial power. New Bedford Vocational was menUoned asa \Serious threat along with Bishop Stang of Dartmouth with Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton sporting an outside chance of finishing as the circuit's number one .club.

Admittedly, it is much too early to forecast another league crown for the school on the Fall River hill but the Red and Black has already dampened the spirits of Attleboro and New Bedford High fans with easy wins over 'both.

the Fall Riverites into a smooth, balanced, winning unit.

Junior forward Al Herren, an unknown outside ()f Fall River before the hoop season commenced, is rapidly establishing a reputation as one of the league's best sharpshooters. But, the Hilltopper talent well has also produced two other accomplished newcomers, John Crowe and Mike Flemming.

Coyle's success will rest primarily on a team effort while Vocational will have" to muster support for "Mr. Basketball" Tommy Gomes. If Gomes has one of his exceptional nights, Vocational might well be on its way to a long awaited league championship.

Gomes who can score in the vicinity of 50 points on a go.od night will lead the Tradesmen against Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro tomorrow night in a contest that should prove to be a warm-up for Tuesday's clash.

Coach Fred Bartek's Shamrocks, hit hard by graduation especially with the loss of AllBristol Tony Gazzola, lack size and will have to play aggressive ball if they are to compete on even terms with the likes of Vocational, Durfee and crosstown rival Attleboro whom it meets Tuesday next.

Coach John O'Brien's rapidly improving Bishop Stang quintet will travel to Attleboro tomorrow night and host New Bedford on Tuesday. The co-defending champions, counted out at the beginning of the Winter are gaining more recognition as a team that has to be reckoned with already In the early season.

The veteran Stang mentor, looking to Kevin Phelan and Jim Mahoney to lead his forces,

hopes that 'inexperience will not 'take its toll on his newcomers.

If the Spartans are able to get over early season hurdles, the~' may have a say in the final league standings.

Coach Jim Lanagan's Coyle Warriors and Coach Ed Lowney~s Artisans from New Bedford wlll visit the Fall River Armory on Friday and next Tuesday respectively. Both possess the potential to upend the Hilltoppers but will have to be at their best to achieve the feat.

The Taunton at New Bedford contest complements tomorrow night's BCL schedule. New Bedford, off to a slow start, hopes to avoid costly errors and regain its winning form ,before meeting Stang in a rematch Tuesday. When the two met in ~.he consolation game of the Newport Holiday Festival Tournament, New Bedford had trouble adjusting to Stang's press and dropped a 59-53 verdict.

Atlanta Archbishop Disciplines Priest ATLANTA (NC)-Archbishop Thomas A. Donnellan of Atlanta has removed the administrator of an experimental inner city parish here for a number of liturgical violations-chiefly the practice of extending Holy Communion to non-Catholics.

The disciplin/ed priest is Father Conald G. Foust, administrator of The Community of Christ Our Brother, a nonterritorial opa路rish which draws membership ffQm throughout the Atlanta area.

The "floating" pa.rish was established' a little over a year ago by the late Archbishop Paul E. Hallinan at the request. of persons who said they :wanted to group together as a meaningful' presence of the Church within inner city poverty areas. The parish has about 30 families, mostly white.
