Archbishop Boland Replies To Priests' Racism Charge NEWARK (NC)-Declaring their' "total commitment to the beautiful people" of the ghettos and their independence from the "racist" and "apathetic" attitude of the Newark archdiocese and its archbishop, a group of 20 priests gave Archbishop Thomas A. "No one can truthfully say Boland a wide ranging list of demands for reform of the that I have not made every effort ,to bring to reality those Church's efforts in inner- plans which I have felt could be city areas here.

The priests from Newark, Jersey City and Plainfield are members of th'e newly formed Inner-City Priests United for Christian AVtion. They held a press conference to publicize their demands and release a letter to the archbishop attacking what they charged was the lack of {lfficial Church leadership in solving racial problems. All but one of the priests involved are white and all work in the inner city.

Later, Archbishop Boland issued a response to the priests' statements detailing archdiocesan-:backed projects to assist the disadvantaged in everything from housing projects to community leadership programs. He said these efforts could hardly have been carried out under a "racist" archbishop and added:

of advantage, whether for spiritual or, temporal goals, for the disadvantaged in our midst. It is also true that ,I cannot respond to every wish nor can I carry out every desire."

In a "Declaration of Brotherhood to Our People," the priests charged lIthe official church of the archdiocese of Newark . . . has made no significant contribution to relieving the deplorable agony of the 500,000 black people in the inner cities . . . the official Church is apathetic.

Monk Aspirants To B'e Given Month Trial GLASGOW (NC) - Men who want to try the life of a Benedictine monk can now do so during their summer holiday, or for periods of up to a month, in an experiment at. the 13th-century Pluscarden Priory, near Elgin, Morayshire.

"We feel there are many who are' uncertain about their vocation and who do not wish to interrupt their studies or give up a' job", says the prior, the Very Rev. Alfred Spencer, O.S.B, Forrner~y, a ma~ visitl,'!,d the priory on a retreat or as a visitor and then applied for a sixmonth acceptance as a postulant.

If wished to continue after that time, he 'entered the novitiate for a year' 'and. then took temporary vows for a period of three years, ' ' Successful , ' The experiment of "joining;' for' per\Qds up to ,8 n;lonth !la,s been tr\ed successf.uUy' on the continent, but is being introduced to Scotland for the'first time. ' ' There are 19 monks-including seven J?r~ests-in the community. 'Three novices are expected in March.

The life'li newcomer' (postulant) wouid lead for the new trial 'period would be: 5 A,M. rise and join in community worship. Breakfast is at 7 A.M. (toast with coffee or tea). Instruction and spiritual direction is given for an hour, then more prayer, followed by work in the house and grounds.

Daily Life The monks are expert frui t growers, keep bees and do all their' own laundry and maintenance. They sell their strawberries, ta'spberries, and red and black currants to visitors. One monk is noted ,for his stained glass work. Lunch consists of egg or fish dishes, with meat three times a week. The rest of the day is spent in spiritual reading, and community worshiop and work. Supper is at 7 P.M. The monks retire to their cells at 8:45 P.M. Recreation periods consist of walking, conversation and minor chores. Postulants wear a black cassock and a leather belt, with a cloak for cold weather.

Advises Expanding Family Planning WASHINGTON (NC) - Expansion of a program of family planning information and services for women in this country from a cl1rrent' $30 million budget to $150 million by 1973 has been recommended by a presidential committee.

The committee, headed by Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Wilbur J. Cohen and John b. Rockefeller 3rd, chairman of the board of Population Council," estimated there are now' some five million women in this country "deprived by pOverty and ignorance of the opportunity to ,plan their families effectively." The committee was appointed la'st July

by President Johnson.

The President endorsed the committee's report. He said the population explosion problem was one' of the most critical in the world today.

Former Organist at ~t. Roch ~s; Cathedral, Recalls Years of Music, Family Life "Hard work never hurt anyone, and when you're old your're glad you had a lot of children." Looking back on 84 years of life, eight children, and nearly 57 years of marriage, that's the conclusion reached by Mr. and Mrs. Germain A. Clement of the Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River. "We see people here who never have a visitor, and we think 'How sad,'" added Mr. Clement. An outstanding figure in Fali River musical circles since 1912, Mr. Clement was organist at St. Roeh's Church from 1912 until 1923, when he 'accepted' the ,same position at St. Mary's Ca-, ,thedral, where he served until h,is retirement in 1953. . l30rn in Belgium" he comes fi-om a disti~guished JPusical, family which can: trace its line." age to the Ith, century., "I was' the y,Oungest of H.chilrlren'," he recalls. "When I was 5 ,my ,father' and eldest brOther began teaching me, theo[gan. :ElY the .time I was 9 I was piayirig for church services." The ClemEmt family, whose 'full' name is Clement dit Fiefves, rioted' the octogenarian, provided organists for the church ' of 'St. Aloysius in Iseghem, West Flanders,' for 200 years, with the iiost passing from father to son. "In 1922," said Mr. Clement" "a Mass, of thanksgiving was offered for our 200 years of service, from 1722 on." .

Surmounts Handicap Mr. Clement has made. music despite a nearly life long handicap. At age 10 he lost one eye in an accident, but nevertheless continued his studies at the Royal Institute for the Blind in Brussels, At 18 he bade farewell to his family and emigrated to Canada,. where he, assumed Hie post of ·orgariist. 'i;;a music teacher at. Mt, St. Bernard College" Sorel: Quebec.": ' After nine years at 'Mt. St. Bernard, the young man's heart was won by pretty 'Angelina Desjardins of Sorel. The couple was married in February of 1912 and in July of ,the same year heard of the opening for an organist at St. Roch's in Fall Riv- ' er. They settled in St, Roch's pa,rish, where they lived until they moved to, ,the Memorial Home four years ago.

The years were busy, filled with the rearing of eight children, of whom seven are still living, three in Fall River. The eldest son, Roland, is a vicepresident, of the Audubon Society, said his father with pride.

His interest in birds and nature ,began when he was a Fall River Boy Scout. Another son, Maurice, is a well-known Fall River optometrist. "Don't leave anyone out," cautioned Mr. Clement. "Gerard is a mechanic and salesman, living in Springfield, Roger is a chain store manager in Upland, Calif., and Albert is an electrical engineer in Madison, N.J." Two daughters, Mrs. Germaine Forre~al and Mrs. Jeanne Leonard, are in Fall River., The work of an organist did no~ take all Mr. Clement's time.

St. Ignatius Guild General meeting of the St. Ignatius Guild will be held at 8 on Monday night, Jan. 20 at the Bishop Connolly High School. Mrs. Robert Nedderman, president, asks all members and friends to attend. Anyone interested' in the further development of the school will be welcome.

Refreshments will be served and entertainment will be provided .by ,the Pebbles of Sacred Heart Academy.

MR. & MRS. GERMAIN A. CLEMENT He directed a :band at St. Roch's and the choir at St. Mary's Cathedral. "I sang 'too," he chuckled, "alid even ·thou'gh 'I'm deaf in one ear, I could always: pick out ailyoliewho was off key." Music lessons efficiently filled spare hours over the years and "nearly every organist in the area was my pupil at one time or another."

Over the years Mr. Clement's vision in his good eye began to fail until he is now legally blind, although he can distinguish colors and large shapes.

But it was not until he was 78 that he found time to learn Braille. Then he concentrated 'on the difficult skill and was reading with his fingers in three months. "A lot of blind people won't take ,the trouble to learn Braille," he all but snorted.

"No courage!"

Mrs. Clement has never mastered English, and she and her husband have a unique partnership going when it comes to watching' television. She tells

him what's happening on the screen and he translates the words into French for her..

The couple ,have 14 grandchfIdren, they announce proudly.

'Tlieir comfor'table room 'at the Memorial Home is adorned with family pictures and mementoes of more than half a century of life together.

"It's been worth all ,the work," sums up Mr. Clement.

Governor Urges Study of Privat'e School Problems ST. PAUL (NC)-Gov. Harold LeVander has proposed 'an investigation of "the, impact the decline of private schools will have on ,the taxpayer" in Minnesota.

In his "state of the state" message to the 66th Minnesota legislature he urged that "either a legislative or executive committee be established and funded" /to carry 011 the inquiry.

Gov. LeVander stressed that private elementary and secondary school enrollments have dropped 20 per cent in five years.

He pointed out that the enrollments had increased steadily until 1963. , "The result is an immediate, sometimes intolerable burden on ·the taxpayer, who must then provide many more public facilities, teachers and administrators," he said. The governor warned ox "not only a problem but a possible catastrophe."

The governor said 16 per cent of grade and high school students in the state are educated in nonpublic sclools. He said private colleges educate 22 per cent of students in institutions of higher learning in the state.

Among his other recommendations concerning education was a "tenfold, increase in our state scholarship program and giving our Indian scholarship program the 'biggest increase in its history."

The governor listed "undergirding quality education" as one of 11 areas "where I feel legislation is a must if we are to convince people of the governmental institution's ability to respond to change."

Asserts Spiritual Retreats Valuable VATICAN qTY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has asserted that the importance of spiritual retreats is growing in these hectic times.

"The pedagogical, spiritual and reHgious function of spiritual retreats is growing in importance the more that life is, first, absorbed by outward activity; second, the more life is intense and without respite and finds rest and recuperation only in amusement and physical restoration, bl,lt without personal reflection; and, third, the more the stimuli of the senses and dishonest stimuli multiply and press upon us," the Holy Father said. , The Pope' was speaking to members of the Italian Federation for Spiritual Retreats, who had come to Rome for the organization's general assembly.

Prayer' For

Unity

There was a time when the Week of Prayer for ChrisHan Unity-the.days of prayer from January 18 to January 25-was ''Performed in a perfunctory way with ttlOse participating in it knowing that prayer could accomplish great things but not really expecting too much in their own day.

That attitude has been broken down by wondrous events of the last several years. Christians are emphasizing what unites rather than what divides, and the common bond of human brotherhood has swept aside the bitterness and hostility that has had all too large a part in religion 'over the centuries.

Now the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is carried on with a new enthusiasm and with the almost frightening realization that the Holy Spirit is at work accomplishing great things in the hearts of men the world over. While the unity of all men in one religious fold may not be brought about in the foreseeable future, groundwork has been laid and the good will, without whkh nothing can be done, is more in evidence on all sides than ever before.

One corollary to this-good will does not mean' the willingness to disguise or slight doctrines that others may find hard to understand and accept. Others do not expect this of Catholics, and Cathoics who would take such tack would not he, serying unity's cause which is rootedi'n God's truth. Doctrines difficut for non-Catholics to gr:asp . must be presented as clearly and persuasively as possible, and as the will of God for His children's guidance and s~17 vation.

The gift of faith is, after all, a gift. God Himself must give to men the ability to accept Him and all that He says. God has no need of the tactics of the Ma<Hson A venue religious salesman, pushing what appeals and slighting over hurriedly what is likely to. disturb.

It is always inspiring to read the words of those who are in the very midst of the ecumenical movement-both Catholics and non-Catholics. All of these devoted men and women h.ave this in common--they love_God, they love men, they speak and write always with much patience and gentleness, stating their beliefs honestly, confident that God's Will will prevail.

Cong Terrorism In Sharp Rise SAIGON (NC) - Viet Cong terrorists killed 5,361 Vietnamese civilians during 1968, a sharp rise' from the 3,820 killed in 1967 and almost three and one-half times the number killed in 1966, when 1,618 met death at the hands of Viet Cong terrorists. , In 1968 the Viet Cong wounded 11,837 and kidnapped 8,556 civilians. In 1987 they kidnapped 5,368 civilians, as against 3,507 in 1966.

The figures for the past year do not include the 7,424 civilians killed and the 15,434 wounded during the Tet (lunar new year) offensive .in February, 1968, nor do they include those killed or wounded in ,the communist attacks in May and June, 1968.

The report on Viet Cong terrorism said. "Because of heavy, widespread fighting during those periods, it is impossible to determine how many civilian casualties resulted from regular military action."

The National Police and the Combined Information Center, which collects terrorist accounts from the allied forces in Vietnam, issued the report. The Public Safety Division of the United States Mission in Vietnam published the repol·t.

Staid Bostonians raised many an eyebrow that evening and I can't say I blamed them. Generally I pride myself on being liberal in outlook, but some of these fashions are not only in bad taste, they're not even pretty.

Gone are the tents, sacks, A lines and figure - concealing dresses that we could just expand under. Instead we must girdle that extra fat to wiggle into many of the fashions for Summer and then in some fashions we can't even do that because any underpinnings at all are revealed.

Mini-Orcnard Offers ~un, Fruit at Small Expense

Nun in Mid-West Fined, Jai led

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

ST. LOUIS (NC)-A 31-yearold Maryknoll Nun, who chained herself to a department store's doors during a Christmas protest, has been fined $500 and ordered jailed because she did not post a $100 appeal bond.

Sister Cecilia Goldman, who lives at 5t. Anne's parish in St. Louis but works as a vocational counselor outside the religious community, chained herself to the revolving doors of the department store during a "Black Christmas" demonstration.

She was found guilty of disturbing the peace and received the maximum fine, despite several priests' petitions that she be freed.

The demonstration was one of several staged by the "Action Committee to Improve ()ppor·tunities for Negroes." Sister Cecilia, a member of the group for about a year, said she took her action because "Christmas time has become a time when the poor, both black and white, are exploited."

The catalogs have started to arrive even at this date and we have already begun selecting our purchases for the Spring. Each year we manage to add a few dwarf fruit trees to our ever-growing little orchard and this year will be no exception. Thus far we have a three year-old and money.

No' Canonical Status IIlin'ois Prelate Disputes Traditionalists' Right To Establish Chapel ROCKFORD (NC) - Bishop Arthur J. O'Neill of Rockford has disputed a claim by a group of traditionalist Catholics, associated with the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, which claims 'the right to establ~sh a chapel for public worship here.

Diocese to Establish Personnel Committee ALLENTOWN (NC) - Bishop Joseph McShea of Allentown has approved establishment in the diocese of a personnel committee of priests to rec~ive recommendations and grievances; to' discuss with the bishop the personnel needs and' opportuni,ties; and to serve as an advisory board on personnel matters.

Six priests will be elected to the committee, one from each deanery in the six-county diocese. Diocesan and religious priests having a regular diocesan assignment are eligible for membership on the committee.

Head of the Catholic Tradi", tionalist Movement is Father Gommar DePauw, a disciplined priest of the Baltimore archdiocese.

The Rockford group also claims to offer "full membership 0:0 0:0 ¢ in an organized and legally established Roman Catholic parish" under the jurisdiction of Bishop Blaise S. Kurz, O.F.M., former prefect apostolic of Yungchow, China, now living in the New York City area.

The Rockford Chancery said Bishop Kurz has no jurisdictional rights outside his own diocese.

The Illinois prelate said "if a chapel of this nature is opened to the public by the so-called Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, it will not be possible for Catholics to fulfill their Sunday Mass obligation in this place."

Back Striking Workers With Solidarity Fast MONTEVIDEO (NC)-A "sol.id ari ty fast" hare by several ~riests and Catholic laymen and some .protestant leaders in suppori of striking workers is one of many actions by militant Catholics protesting social conditions which have stirred criticism in Uruguay.

The money saved in the fast, about $1,500, was contributed to the strikers' group kitchens.

The strike is directed against the government and its economic policies. . The "solidarity fast," is an eXample of activities by the militants here and in other dioceses 'who are pressing for more Church involvement in the deepening social 'and economic crisis of this River Plate country. They are causing some eyebrows to be raised. The daily newspapers, Accion, was critical of the fast, calling it "sub.versive."

India Hardens Policy Toward Missioners RAIPUR (NC)-India's minister of sta-te for home affairs, V. C. Shukla, declared here that the government's policy on foreign missionaries is to replace them all with Indians.

Shukla said the government is keeping a "strict watch" over activities of foreign missionaries in the country. He added that whenever any missionary is found engaging in political activities, the government directs him to quit the country.

Observers noted that Shukla's statement probably conveys a hardening of the government's attitude toward foreign missionaries.

Vietnam Premier Asks Realization Of Red Goals SAIGON - Awareness of communist goals is "the initial step toward a wise solution of the Vietnamese problem," South Vietnam's Prime Minister Tran Van Huong told the 14th annual conference of the Asian People's Anti-Communist League.

Huong said the war in Vietnam is' "one phase-perhaps ,the fiercest-in the -plan for world conquest by the communist imperialists" and that "once this bastion of the Republic of Vietnamfalls into communist hands, the free nations of Southeast Asia will one by one ,be threatened, invaded and finally subjugated."

The prime minister declared that "the aggressor' has always cloaked his nefarious design with such' terms as 'wllr 9f liberation' or 'people's war.'

"The nearsighted and the highly gullible are prone to be deceived into thinking that this is an internecine conflict, a sort of civil war involving people of the same blood," he said.

"But you and I know ,it for what it really is, that is, naked aggression .by the communist imperialists who seek to impose their dream of subjugating not only 14 million South Vietnamese but also Asia and the whole world."

Realization of the communist aims will advance a solution to the Vietnam. problem, because, Huong said, "a peace,' a true peace, just and durable,· ciinnot .·be L brought' abOut by-' the surrender of a nation, especially wh'-en' that' 'iuitio~ has "sacrificed, so. mu'clt' blood in one' gen'eration for the ideal of freedom.

Sources of Hope "Neither can peace be attained .by concessions to the aggressor .on the battlefield or the conference table," he added. He said the solution to. the Vietnamese war is the return of the aggressor "to his former position."

This, he asserted, "is the sole minimum, logical and simplest , approach to a solution of the Vietnam issue and a true peace settlement which the South Vietnamese have been longing for."

The prime minister, a Confucianist, deplored the millions of Asians now being oppressed.

"It is indeed heartbreaking for us Asians when we consider that here in Asia, the cradle of the greatest religions and virtues of mankind, we now see hundreds of millions of Asians oppressed, trampled by the 'iron heel of ,believers of the most despotic, atheistic and inhuman doctrine that history has ever known," he said.

But he said there are sources of hope, declaring that "we are of the firm conviction that Asian philosophy and morals are still our sources of strength, enthusiasm and hope for victory. With hard struggle and reconstruction efforts, a free peaceful and happy Asia shall once again emerge," he said,

NEW YORK (NC)---Religious leaders of all faiths have ex:!. preilsed' concerh'~aboUt'-the Mfa'; dIe 'East crisis, and havegiveri differing views on -its solution.

In a .three - way discussion 'between Rabbi Arthur L. Hert': berti, the Rev. Alfred Carleton and Msgr. John Nolan recorded for the CBS radio program, "The World of Religion," Rabbi Hertzberl~ accused Christian leaders of being too quick to criticize Israeli actions and too silent on the subject of Arab positions. , Dr. Carleton is a vice-presi-: dent of the National Council of Churches, Rabbi Hertzberg is a member of the interreligious unit of the American Jewish Committee, and Msgr. Nolan is pre8ident of the Pontifical Mis-: sion to Palestine.

Dr. Carleton sent President Lyndon B. Johnson a telegramurging that all aid to Israel be halted ·because of the Israeli raid on Beirut International Aiq;ort. In the radio program, Dr. Carleton said he sent the tele/~ram because the "stupidity" of the Beirut raid was "so ob-' vious I could not keep still."

Pope's View ' Rabbi Hertzberg criticized Pope Paul VI's statement on the Beirut issue and said that his criticism of "Christian leadership in America 'is its lack of evenhandedness, its lack of objective moral calculus in this' particular situation." He said this encouraged, the Arabs to' avoid a mood of reconciliation.

Msgr. Nolan was a'sked why' the Pope had spoken out against. the Beirut attack but not against earilier Arab violence. Msgr.

Nolan said: "I think the Holy Father is concerned· about violence everywhere. The Holy Fath.er has spoken about Vietnam, he has spoken about vio-I lenc,~ in other parts of the world~'~

ST. LOUIS (NC)-Patrons of food chain stores in St. Louis poverty areas tended to pay less for comparable items than patrons of non-poverty area stores in ·a six-month study whose preliminary findings were released

by St. Louis University. .In some cases, however, the poverty-area buyers paid more for comparable items than did patrons of stores in non-poverty areas, according to the study findings. '\Probably the controversy regarding charges ·that povetty area buyers pay higher prices for merchandise than non-poverty buyers do in corporate food chains will continue, because on any given week price differences between stores most likely will exist," commented William T. Bonwich, chairman of the university's department of marketing.

Bonwich recommended that top management of corporate chains make 'a continuing study of prices in poveny area stores to make sure they are never ,higher than in non-poverty aTea stores.

The study was conducted under Bonwich's supervision by Edward B. Conway, a graduate fellow in ,the marketing department. It covered the six-month period from December, 1967, to early June, 1968. .

The ,measure is seen by many observers as an attempt to boost birth rates in Argentina. Both government and private employes are covered by the decree of Dec. 23, which became effective Jan. 1, 1969.

A sweeping general adjustment in the wage structure for the nation ,had been pushed. by the government earlier. The "family-subsidy" type of extra income includes payments· for children, with add i t ion a 1 <'mounts added when they go to school. Bonuses are paid for weddings and births.

The new legislation gives parE:nts about $10 extra a month for each of the first two children, and $14 for each of any other children, plus $3 when ,they go to grade school and $6 when they reach high school.

Well·Planned IDevelopment Gives Kenya -Tranquility By· Bm'bam Ward

,

Most people do not say: "I am quite indifferent to the risk of world starvation .and I feel no oblIgation" to do anything about it." Either they do not think about it at all or else they have decided that outside efforts of assistance are of no use. So what they are more likely :Kenya would have gone crippled to say is: "Of course, if I iinto 'independence. has neit happened. Over thought development aid theThis last five or six years, the

would make a real difference, I would support it. But look at the record - waste, inefficiency, cor- " ruption. I don't " see why I should ' provide, money to 'feed hungry people and just see it frittered away by ·bungling' ,governments." So the difficulty about mobilizing supp~rt for invest,ment in worId 'agriculture is just a' particular example of a wider, difficulty, Many people simpiy believe that the aid ef-' fort of the last' two decades has failed to produce results.

'Could Become' Pattern .

So it should be useful to look at a rather large, concrete arid elaborate scheme' that over the last 10 years ,~ transformed a whole 'region, rebuilt 'the basis of., its agriculture, changed ,the political odds from vio'lence to cooperation and done so with a massive dose of outside help.

The scheme .is more than a local success, It. offers a pattern that can be repeated iri many parts of the developing' world.

Or rather it could be 'such a pattern if we took seriously the need to modernize farming in the poorer lands.

The place is Kenya. The background could hardly have seemed less promising when, nearly a decade ago, the then colony began to move to independence. Much of the best land in the central area had been taken from the Kikuyu tribe and given to European settlers.

When the first transfers were made, the Kikuyu were less numerous and few 'Europeans knew that, even then, much of the apparently vacant land was simply under customary African fallow.

But the tribe grew and grew and land hunger became more and more bitter. It led to the terrors of the Mau Mau uprising and promised ·endless unrest and trouble in the future. Yet the Europeans had come in good faith. Many were excellent formers. Their production covered most of the colony's food supplies and exports. What could be done?

What Was Done We can have a very shrewd idea of what would have happened if nothing had been done.

The ·blind' pressures of the Kikuyu people for land might have led to wholesale expropriation of the European farmers and a catastrophic fall in foods and exports.

Or the Kikuyus might have been told to be patient -in which case revolt would have burst out again. In either case,

The British 'Government, assisted by theWo,rld Bank, !=ontributed:ovei$56 millions tO',the purchase of about '8 third of the European land. Then; with capital fundS' from a' variety. of _sources, including the' Kenyan (}overnmerit, an amtiitiou~ Hmd settlemerit' a'n d development scheme for the Kikuyu 'was ptepared on over 'a million acres.

Part of the land was prepared for a "high density" settlement with individual plots designed to give .each farmer an income of aboui $300 a year with sub": sistence. Larger farms - the Yeoman' farms - would give some $1,600 a year in income, Planning Peace' All the new farmers - ,the small and the" "large" men!would be members of cocip~ra:' tives for sales and credit and' processing. (These cooperatives could be built on to an existing European structure). All farm lands were pre-planned - with the provision, in advance, of d.rainage, contour layout, access roads, cows in milk and a quarter of the plot ploughed and planted to a cash crop.

With this chance of immediate income, the farmers in return began buying their land at once on a system of phased hi'repurchase. Today, nearly a decade later, output in the area is higher than before the scheme was introduced, payments are. holding up, above all, 'a background to cooperation and civic order has given the new republic a tranquil start.

In short, 'farsighted development has proved, in Kenya, to be the new name for peace.

Let us be in no doubt about the critical facts and decisions.

With no massive outside assistance, the scheme could not have been launched. With no careful, well-financed development pllilnning, it could have failed. With ·both, it has given Kenya peace and growth. What might not ,the same policies accomplish il) other hungry lands?

Papal Visits Abroad

Always Pos$ible VATICAN CITY (NC)-lt is an easy matter for the press to speculate on possible papal visits abroad, because Pope Paul VI never flatly refuses cordial invitations extended to him from any nation; a spokesman for the Vatican Press Office said.

The statement was made after a news service said the Pope was giving "serious consideration" to the possibility of visiting Japan in 1970 on the 25th anniversary of othe atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

The spokesman said the Pope has received invitations from many nations, including Japan.

"The possibilities are infinite," the spokesman said.

Upon arrival at John F. Kennedy Airport here, the archbishop of New York, who also is military vicar of the U. S. armed forces, went to Our Lady of -the Sky Chapel for '8 dedication service.

Archbishop Cooke presented to -the chapel an American flag in honor of his predecessor, the late Francis Cardinal Spellman, who before his death in December, 1967, made 16 consecutive thristmas visits -to U. S. servicemen abroad.

"The morale of the men was tremendous," Archbishop Cooke told newsmen following ,the chapel service. "Their wonderful spirit of dedica-tion is something of which we can be proud -their sacrifice and devotion to duty is something which we can appreciate."

Vietnamese Gentle The archbishop said -there is no group anywhere more interested in peace than -the American servicemen in Vietnam.

"They are hoping for peace with justice," Archbishop Cooke said. "Whenever there was an oppor,tunity to offer Mass, the Mass was offered for peace."

The archbishop had ,praise, too, for the Vietnam people. He said he found ,the V'ietnamese "gentle, active ,and hardworking."

Archbishop Cooke said he found "a 'tremendous ecumenical spirit not alone among the chaplains, but all of ,the servicemen -living together as one family."

Sisterhood Considers Proposed BOSTON (NC)-The Congregalion. of the Sisters of St. Joseph, largest community of nuns in the Boston archqioce,se ~h<!!,~~f, nwxe JI;1;in.,, lQ!Ui,lstitutiOI)S 'in: this,', area: 'is ';Col1siderIng major changes within the organization.

The 25 proposed changes concern the community's relationship with other members of -the Church; interpretation of the traditional religious vows; an individual nun's choice of leisure time; retaining baptismal names rather than names given in religious life.

The community in this. area is affiliated with a nationwide Sisterhood which has members working In 19 archdioceses and dioceses. The Sisterhood was founded in France in 1648 and has a membership of some 30,000 nuns throughout the wo,rld.

The proposed changes came in -the wake of 'a general shift to more modern dress among' members of the community. The changes were proposed at a community chapter conference of renewal at the community motherhouse in nearby Milton.

All proposals are experimental 'and are expected to be finalized a't a full chapter meeting in July. , Leisure Time Sisters would have final voice in ,the use of leisure time under the proposed changes. Their own judgment, deciding whether or not they would enroll in higher studies, engage in avocational pursuits like writing or community activities, visit the homes of family and friends, and the like, would govern.

With respect 'to the vows of poverty and obedience, the Sisters have recommended a kind of sliding-scale 'application of the notion of poverty: convents attached to schools or other institutions in affluent neighborhoods, ·for instance, would be no no less presentable than average dwellings in the area, while convents in underprivileged areas would be proportionately modest.

'Instead of the vow of obedience being invoked strictly, more consideration would ,be ~iveIl;il1 f,!ture to. the a~tqrQmy Pi. Ute J,ndividuaJ,..to . her...mature and freely .made,·choices consid~ ered in the light of professional needs and the fruitful use' of available time.

Sisters would be free to travel 'alone and to attend public events without specific permission of superiors.

Cb,ain of Supervision . Internal changes pertain to the "chain of command" in institutions operated by ,the congregation. Prior to the meeting, it was customary--'in schools, for example-for teachers to recognize a horizontally constituted supervision: teachers were subject to principals, local superiors, provincial superiors, etc., whereas no'w it has been "unanimously adopted" that a vertaical chain of supervision will henceforth obtain: teachers would refer to supervisors within their own disciplines or subjects, with these 'authorities having refer-

Msgr. Kress also expressed the hope that parishioners would not throw rice at weddings in other churches, It was noted that rice throwing was originallya pagan custom, taken over by Christians, and has no connection with the Sacrament of Matrimony.

Government Hals Obligation In Social Welfalre Reform

By Msgr. George G. Higgins

Richard N. Goodwin, who ,came to Washington with JFK in 1960, at age 27, and stayed on th~ough the better part of the Johnson Administration, was rec~ntly characterized' by Patrick Anderson, a talented Washmgton' reporter and free lance political writer, as 'the "youngest, pr-ograms and even more money for. public needs." br~shest, most ill-fated, yet Subsidiarity lPrAllIeillJle perhaps most durable mem:Mr. Goodwin might be sur-

ber" of President Kennedy's personal staff and "probably the bes t ,speechwriter in America today." (Pat"rick Anderson, The President's Men, Doubleday. $6.95). Mr. Anderson offers the latter judgment "for whatever it is worth." I would not have any way of knowing precisely what it's worth by professional standards. On the record however, it's fair to say <that f~w if any Americans-of whatever age 'bracket - can match ,the range of Goodwin's experience as a high level political speechwriter.

He has served in this capacity for President Kennedy, President Johnson, Senator Eugene McCarthy, Senator Robert Kennedy-and perhaps" as a kind of extra-curricular sideline, for a number of less prominent politicos as well.

Required Reading ,In any event, now ~~at Goqd. win, having completed his tour, of duty in Washington and Kav.. ing emerged from the shadows of anonymity, is now signing his own name to whatever he writes, I would say that he is c,ertainly one of the best political analysts in America today.

His lengthy essay, "Reflections: Sources of Public Unhappiness" in the Jan. 4 issue of The New Yorker shows him at his very best.

It's required reading even for those who may happen to think -as I do myself-that Goodwin is perhaps a little too partial to the New Politics and some of its leading practitioners and is somewhat less than generous to Hubert Humphrey.

Pragmatist's Rule To those readers who still think of Goowin as the "brashest" member of JFK's original staff or have mistakenly written him off as a "radical" spokesman for the political Left it will probably come as something of a surprise that he places such heavy emphasis on the need for "decent'ralizing the operations of government-allowing communities, private groups, cities and States to make public decisions that are now vested in the central government."

His pragmatic rule of thumb is that we should "transfer power to the smallest unit (of government) consistent with the scale of, the problem."

He hastens to 'add, 'however, that decentralization, in the sense in which he is using the word, is not ,to be confused with old-fashioned conservative rhetoric about States' rights, "for decentralization, if it is to work, will require even larger public

Holy See Urges Keep Truths

An.

economist charged here that "the current allocation of Illinois education taxation is unconstitutional."

Dr. Francis J. Brown, professor of economics at DePaul University and chairman of the National Association for' ·Per sonal Rights in Education (NAPRE), in an address before the City Club of Chicago, decried state monopoly of the education tax.

He also deplored state expenditure of public funds to give preferential support within the public schools to the' privilte nonsectarian and secularistic educational values of only some citizens while denying a share to those who reject such values.

Asks Tuition Grants

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Holy See has declared itself on the side of theological renewal but a1: the same time has put theologians on their guard against turning that renewal into "obfuscation and alteration," What the Holy See fears may be obscured and altered arc "those truths which always, everywhere and by everyone were professed, with greater or less awareness."

These encouragements and fears were ex'pressed in a letter sent on Pope Paul VI's behalf

by Papal Secretary of State Amleto Cardinal Cicognani to Bishop Carlo Colombo, president of the Italian Theological Association. The occasion, was the third national congress meeting'at Sestri Levante on the subject of "Theological Language Today," The letter noted that theology, in seeking its right relations with modern currents of philosophy, should not lose sight of, "those models of theological wisdom" which are the Apostles, the authors of Holy Writ, and the Fathers and Doctors of the Eastern and Western Church.

EVANSTON (NC)-Opposition' has cropped up against a proposal which would allow Catholic high

school students to enroll for special courses in public junior high schools in this Illinois city.

The principal opposition appears ,to be coming from a group called the Concerned Citizens for the PreserWltion of Public Schools, led by the Rev. Virgil A. Kraft, a Protestant minister.

The program was proposed by the Evanston Council of Catholic Education (ECOE). A:. public hearing on the plan 'has been scheduled for Jan. 23 in the Haven Junior High School here

by Evanston District 65 School &ard., .

The proposal was introduced at ,the school board's December meeting, but action was deferred pending a public hearing, requests for legal opinions on the plan and a cost estimate of the program.

'Lutheran Education Leaders Look To State Aid for Their Schools CHICAGO (NC)-Two ranking educational lead~rs in the Northern Illinois district of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod have indicated that state aid may be needed if Lutheran schools are to continue operating.

They are Rev. John Sternberg, pastor of St. Peter Lutheran Church at Schaumburg, Ill., chairman of the board of Christian Education for the district, and Edwin Eckert, superintendent of Lutheran 'schools for the district. ,According to the December issue of "Chicagoland Lutheran," a 50,000 circulation news magazine . published by the' Luth,eran Council Of Greater Chicago, Mr. SternbeJ;g discussed 1': mid-November meeting of the Christian education committee that convened "out of concern for the problem of the continually rising costs of parochial education and launched investigations of optional plans for po~sible solutions.'" , The magazine quoted the min'ister as saying, "Lutherans may need to change their, stands on the traditional concept of sep. a~ation of chu,~ch and state '.;. .;: *" "I. belieVe the.\ime has ~ome wh~n, .,we .should;r.~qogniz~l that '"bot\1"chlclfch and ,f'!t~te ,have individual areas of responsibi,lity.

to define what is secular and what is not."

Eckert said there has been an apparent switch in thinking among representatives of the Lutheran church on the question of state aid. "However,'" he added, "we are still very much concerned about government controls that might accompany any state or federal aid.

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-John Cardinal Krol has expressed "dismay and disappointment" at the decision of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to close their two century-old academies in the Philadelphia archdiocese.

Meanwhile' parents' groups at the two Academies' of the Sacred Heart- in Overbrook and Torresdale, Pa.-have been formed to investigate the possibility of continuing the schools under layadmin!stration.

The two academies have educated several generations of girls from prominent Catholic families in the Philadelphia archdiocese and elsewhere. The Overbrook school, founded in 1865, now enrolls 290 girls from first through 12th grade. The Torresdale school, founded in 1847, has an enrollment of 225 in grades seven through 12.

Mother Elizabeth Sweeney, provinciaJl superior of the Sacred Heart community, said the closing of the two schools next June was due to "shortage of religious personnel."

The community's eastern province also operates a college in Newton, two academies in New England, one in Washington, one in Princeton, N. J., and one in Miami.

\'

Favorable Infiuenee "Before we would accept any aid, I'm sure we'd need to know and understand 'any controls that the government might re- , quire in giving aid."

He pointed out that a statement emanating from a 1965 Lutheran church convention said that federal aid for children in non-public schools may be acceptable if the aid does not interfere with the purposes for which the school 'is intended. , Eckert pointed out that while leaders in the Lutheran church are ,beginning to favor state aid, "not all Lutherans are in agreement on the question." However, statements by church leaders, he added, ",generally had a. favorable influence on .many church members." , ,, " According to Clifford Dahlin, executive director of the Lutheran Council of Greater Chicago, t' eriortheru'Illirtbis "district'" of the Lutheran Church-Misouri 'Synod 'has 115' elementary schools, 773 teachers, 18,721 students arid four high schools, most of which .are located in Chicago and the surrounding areas.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Jan. 16, 1969

Parkinson, PIimptonBooks Below Authors' Standards,

BY FATHER CLIFFORD STEVENS

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy , Two authors, from whom we expect much, on the ,basis of past performance, let us down in their new books.

C. Northcote Parkinson, best, kno.wn for his Parkinson's Law, is hardly ,at the top of his form in the new l\.'lrs.

Parkinson's Law (Houghton ' Mifflin, 2 Park Street, Bos- tered with equipment once comton, Mass 02107. $4.95). And pleted.

George Plimpton,' who proHe points 'out that the living duced something of a sports classic in Paper Lion, does not repeat on the same level with The Bogey Man ,(Harper and Row, 49 E. 33rd St., New York, N. Y. 10016. $5.95). Mr. Parkinson's 1 ate s t work boasts a central theme of sorts, but has a random air about it. He is writing about marnage, the , family, the house, vacations, etc.

The title piece, which comes about halfway through the book; does not have a great deal to do with the rest of the contents, and is starred probably tq capitalize on the popularity of Parkinson's Law. The approach to the domestic scene here exemplified is partsedous, part,.humorous.

Mr. Parkinson can be quite funny as he discusses the peculiarities and problems of family life. But much of the time he is grinding out pretty obvious common sense, much in the style of a family co~nselor.

Also he can be almost solemn in discussing the ideal number of guests for a cocktail party.

One feels that he must ,be spoofing when he goes into this so deliberately, ,but no, he is not.

Marriage today, he says, is different from what once it was, indeed from what it was not so long ago, and this for several reasons. One is greater life expectancy at present. If marriage has' always, in our part of the world at least, been regarded as being for life, people died earHer in previous centuries leaving their partners free for another try.

Difficulty in Marriage Also, a newly married couple 'was not in the pa'st, off on its own. It was connected, and often closely, with patriarchal or matriarchal establishment, and for those 'of means, there were servants in the house.

Moreover,. Hollywood has invested marriage with the notion of romantic love, as all-important, whkh concept does not square with life.

The central difficulty in marriage, says Mr. Parkinson, is "the amount of time spent together and, indeed, spent alone together." If the partners lack wide interests and friends, and if they fail to develop as personalities, tedium can be damaging.

He speaks as might be expected, of the need of communication and of courtesy. And he has some wise remarks about spontaneity, much praised and recommended, but actually capable of great harm if unbridled.

Kitchen Sink Neglected, About the automobile he is conventionally cautionary. He is more original in his animadversions on the house. It should be planned and built around its equipment, he maintains. and not simply crammed and clut-

room has changed: .from centering on the 'fireplace, it now dmtel'S on the TV set and has bec!Ome a sort of miniature theatre. , He deplores the .scandalous neglect of the kitchen sink. That i.~, after arguing incontestably the unique importance of this fixture, he declares that no one has worked outan ideal, or even, a truly practical, design for it: His strictures on the overlooking of proper design for bath tubs are in a similar vein. ' Planned Family A family should be planned, he believes, and he would appear to set three as the ideal number of children (one of them a spare, in case of death). Families of five or more are, to him, very unde'sirable.

He gives the impression that children are to be planned in the very same way as the rooms or appli~nces in a house. The handling of this subject is surprisingly cold, hardly huinan.

And here one sees at its most striking a characteristic of the whole treatment of marriage

and the family: namely, an almost total absence of reference to spiritual considerations.

Mr. Parkinson pleads for ' " standardized light switches; (a good point), for books in 'the home (also good), for· tidying up directly after a party and not the morning after. He maintains that everyone should be pen. d 0 ff a t th e age 0 f 60 , g'ves Slone I rules for a happy retirement, and warns against the perils of being dogridden.

Not Wonderful <' Oh, Mrs. Parkl'nson's law-we almost forgot. It doesn't amount to much, actually. The author worked it out in an attempt to t,Ie1p th e ho useWl'fe mee t th e day a,f domestic disaster:' the day, that is, when' there is a q~ick. succession of crises and misadventures, great and small. ' The law reads, "Heat Prodluced By Pressure Expands, To Fill the Mind Available, From Which It can Pass Only To A Cooler Mind." .

Meaning? Meaning that, on such a day, the housewife, being alone, will be overwhelmed unless she simply cops out lor awhile, sits down and quiets down, and, if possible, gets, in touch with someone not affected by her pack of troubles and so capable of helping her cool off.

Good advice, but not all that wonderful. . ' About 'Golf As the title of Mr. Plimpton's book indicates, he is now writing about golf. In the past, he has had a brief shot at pitching in big league baseball (Out of My League) and at participation in major league football (Paper Lion). Now he is relating his experiences in 'the proam portions of three golf toilrnaments, in California. ' Of the competitio{l itself, Mr. Plimpton tells us relatively little, and advisedly, for a recital of shot, after shot, hole after 'hole, day after day, tournament after tournament· would be excruciating pnishment.

He addresses himself, instead,

Trinity'

G@Ye~ning B~ard WASHINGTON (NC)-Sister Margaret Claydon, president of Trinity College here, has announced that the- college bylaws have been revised to include laymen on the governing board of trustees of the women's liberal arts college.

The new board includes eight lay persons, five Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and one priest.

President of the new board, H. P. McFadden of Bethlehem, Pa., was elected at the group's first meeting.' ' Other members of the board include Mrs. Bennetta B. Washington, director of the Women's Job Corps and wife of Washing.ton's,Mayor Walter E. Washington; Father "'John ·P. Whalen, president and 'mag~ing editor of Corpus Instrumentorem, Inc.; and Miss Alba Zizzamia, assistant director of the United States Catholic Conference Division for United Nations Affairs.

manding of circumstances, he still is able to lead in such a way that every man in his command is inspired to give his best to his work.

In contrast to the old type of military leader who dominated everything by his personality and his will, a c<;lmmander like Bucher, while he knows everything that is going on in his command, is able to direct the talents and energies of his men in an atmosphere of mutual respect, mutual responsibility' and wholesome freedom.

His concern for his men was evident in everY word that he spoke after the crew's release.

He led them in courage and in opposition to tMenemy, even demanding, that his own life be taken, when his, men were threatened.

Undoubtedly, his ,training at Boys Town had much to do with Pete Bucher's character and personality. The unique community, founded by Father Edward Flanagan in 1917, emphasizes a maximum !Of freedom and a maximum of responsibility in the citizens of Boys Town.

It tames the ov~rtough and toughens the soft by a community life which demands the best of its members, and it provides fpr -a 'wide range of achievements in civic,' artistic, scholastic and athletic fields.

I was at Itazuke Air Base, Japan, a chaplain in. the Air Force at the time, when I heard 'of the capture of the U.S.S. Pueblo. The name jogged my memory, but it took the picture 'of the captain, Lloyd Bucher, 'on the front page of 1he Stars 'and Stripes to recall where I ,had heard it. , Several months before, I had received my regular copy of the I Boys Town Times, and there in a lengthy article was an account :of Commander Bucher. 'being ,llssigned as captain of the U.S.S. Pueblo. At the time, the name 'of the ship did not interest me particularly, ,but now the whole 'Pueblo affair became a maUer :of intense personal interest.

I remember "Pete" Bucher as a good-lOOking, always smiling, and rather shy fellow, two or three years behind me at Boys Town. We used to meet occasionally after I graduated from Boys Town and was attending Creighton University in Omaha.

He was very popular, eV,entu- 'ally became one of Boys Town's great fO,otball stars, and was known for an infectious wit, and ,an innate kindness. , Superb Conunander I Hard-working, diligent and ideep-down tough, he was friend~ly, bursting with, enthusiasm, land there was an inherent com.passion about him that was irather unique for a tough footIball player. His thoughtfulness !was a legend at Boys Town. : After his graduation, he joined the Navy qnd then worked his 'way up through the ranks, studied hard and received his commission as a naval officer. A devoted husband and father, and ·an exemplary officer, no 'one at Boys Town was surprised when he was given command of the Pueblo.
