Khrushchev Book -Leaves Impression of Inhumanity The authenticity of the purported reminiscences of Nikita Khrushchev, published under the title Khrushchev Remembers (Little, Brown, 34 Beacon St., Boston, Mass. 02106. $10), has been challenged. Some American experts on Soviet matters have pointed out factual errors in anyone who might possibly be a the text. Khrushchev him.' rival. But Khrushchev has light to cast on the liquidation of self has repudiated the book. many ,people whose disappear.

By RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY

But Edward Crankshaw who . supplies the introduction, commentary, and notes to the English edition, is the topmost western authority on Khrushchev, and he says that "the man who speaks in these pages is the man I came to know in all his public aspects and in the largely hidden processes ... of his struggle to seize power and retain it." There is much which Khrushchev does not disclose, much which he distorts. He is far from candid about his complicity in many of Stalin's crimes, and he makes' no -reference to his own responsibility for enormities perpetrated in the Ukraine when he was its overlord. This must be borne in mind by the reader, but it does not tender the boOk worthless. For we get here a fascinating and in some degree unprecedented pic, ture of the inner workings of the Soviet dictatorship, a good deal of information previously unrevealed, a close look at Stalin, and glimpses of the mentality typical of the men who command the Soviet empire. Khrushchev owed everything to Stalin, but it was he who, after Stalin's death, uncovered the extent of his master's atrocities. In this he may have been motivated by a desire to build himself up, for he had promoted his own cult of personality when . he bossed the Ukraine. Basically .Brutish But one is persuaded that Khrushchev did indeed recoil from Stalin's brutality, not so much because brutality was repellent to him, but because he realized that Stalin's excesses had done grievous harm' to the U.S.S.R. and the Communist cause. Of Stalin; he says that the man was exceptionally intelligent and skillful, but basically brutish. He furnishes far more evidence of the third attribute than of the first two. Through his eyes we see Stalin as an absolute monarch, one of whom no one ever asked a question'. As we have long known, Stalin systematically· eliminated

ance was not accounted for until now. Stalin certainly surpassed Hitler in treachery and in the number of killings for which he was responsible. Dogmatic Communist There are certain similarities to Hitler in wqat Khrushchey reports of Stalin in the privacy of his Kremlin apartments or his country house. Thus, an incredible amount of time was wasted, at endless meals and in watching movies. People were arbitrarily summoned and kept hanging around. Stalin was depressed when alone, but, unlike Hitler, he enjoyed getting others drunk, forcing them to consume huge quantities of alcohol.' He ordered the top men of the U.S.S.R. to dance (literally), hurled insults at them, cruelly humiliated them. Khrushchev' asserts that when he came to power, he sought to rehabilitate the reputations of Stalin's victims, to destalinize Soviet life, and to effect some liberalization. But he is a dogmatic Communist, and quite impervious to fact, history, and reason when they are at odds with the preconceptions and prejudices to which he subscribes. 'Enriched Culture; For example,. he had much to do with the sovietization of eastern PolalTd after Hitler and Stalin divided that country. Of the Poles, he says, "Since they neither understood .nor accepted Marxist-Leninist teachings they couldn't imagine that their culture would actually be enriched by the annexation of their lands to the 'Soviet Union." Such blindness! We learn nothing of Khrushchev's downfall from this volume. And there is much else about which he does not satisfy our curiosity. The abiding impression, however, is one of inhumanity: an ideology and a system running counter to essential human identity, dignity, and needs, manipulated by hard and in many ways ignorant men with a lust for power, and responsible for misery and murder on a gargantuan scale. Maurice Baring Restored Pre-Soviet Russia was' far from being a paradise. But it had good qualities, as is evident from one portion of Maurice Baring Restored (Farrar,. Straus and Giroux, 19 Union Square West, New York, N. Y. 10003: $15). Maurice Baring. was an exceptionally gifted and versatile En-\ glish writer who died more than 25 years ago. He traveled extensively, spent much time in Russia, wrote novels, memoirs, verse, parodies, plays. Paul Horgan has made a selection from Baring's writings in the book, but it stands out for its perceptive and colorful description and evalu'ation of the country and the people. An especially interesting note' is Baring's report of a play' by a writer then unknown in the West-Anton Chekhov.

Pope Says Denial Of God Inhuman VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has branded denial of God "radically inhuman." The Pope was speaking on the feast of the Presentation which commemorates the dedication of the infant Jesus to God in. the Temple of Jerusalem. Before. the Pope in the Sistine Chapel were hundreds of Religious bringing the Pope the traditional candles of the feast, also known as Candlemas. The offering of the candle is' intended to express the offering to the Lord of the one who- offers the candles, the Pope said. "It is meant to recognize the Lord's dominion over us, and our dependence on Him as His creatures and His ~hildren," he contrnued. . Recognition of God's dominion is especially important today, he said, "when forgetfulness of our derivation from the ~ause of causes seems to be an outlook common to modern man." Forgetfulness of God,' Pope Paul observed, "even seems to constitute an obligation for the acquisition of maturity, and a badge of honor slgriallingone's emancipation and self-sufficiency." Because of the greater knowledge men now have of the "mar~ velous riches of a universe" that cannot explain its own 'existenc~, "to deny' God is; to deny the supreme reality," the Pope said. "It is fundamentally irrational an9- .therefore radically inhuman. It is blindness; with' the consequences blindness brings with it in the anxious and now desperat~ search. for .the rig~t and direct paths of the . human journey."

The bill is .designed to allow .whites of European stock to. get rid of people of other races from what are predominantly white areas. Black Africans have already been excluded from white areas by. earlier legislation. The proposed legislation was first criticized by the Catholic bishops of Rhodesia in 1967. In their new statement, the bishops said they had studied the revised bill and saw no reason to change their 1967 stand.

Of Lent Escap,es Kids'"

,N.uns to L.eave. . Porochi'al School ~

In many ways, the "old Lenten fast" was easier. Ash Wednesday Game and I simply told the children, "You can't do this'; you can't do that. It's Lent." The new concept of making a daily sacrifice, deliberately and purposefully in atonement for the suffering of Jesus, offers a ,real' here. How can you say somechallenge. Encouraged to thing good about that?" I snap, "Well, suppose you convey to my children the keep your mouth shut for Lent!"

DETROIT (NC)-'-Teaching Sisters at ·St. Raymond's grade school, . charging inst!tutional racism an.d parental rejection of a sricial justice~oriEmted curriculum, have resigned from the school faculty. . Spokesmen for the parents .and parish council deny the racism charge and say the school's .religious program does not reflect parishioners' '''desires and needs." The nuns, Servants of the Im'maculate Heart of Mary, announced' their resignation, effective in., June, from the church pulpit' during weekend Masses. "When we try to teach the GOSPE;1 message as a message of social concern;" Sister Mary Margaret Slinger, St.. Raymond's principal, tQld NC 'News, "many parents -,object, to this very strongly: They would prefer that we teach religion to their chil,dren as it was' taught to themas a set of rules and regulations. but not as a way of life."

She also described the way parish councilinembers implemented guidelines' recommended by Cardined John Dearden. .

To Compromise On Roc' e , Pol·c IY',

MINNEAPOLIS (NC)-A new ecumenical 'church lobby was created- here to prepare policy statements on issues confronting Minnesota's 1971 i1egislature. The group, called the Joint Religiol:ls Legislative, Committee and coor.dinated by Patrick Marx: attempts to raise moral , issues 'in the interest ~f ,public welfare. Marx, a reporter on leave of absence from the Minneapolis Tribune, thinks of the group as an :'ecumenical social' conscience" which could become one of Minnesota's most powerful forces for social change. The JRLC has been formally approved by the Minnesota Catholic Conference, Minnesota Council of Churches and the )\1innesota Rabbinical associa· ',tion. "We aren't dogmatizing the issues, but we're motivating the legislators' constituents to influence their legislators," Marx .said. "In other words," he added, "JRLC is really a grass roots organiza tion." It performs, he explained, by getting the word out and informing the people of the issues. 'Marx believes that if people understand the issues, they can influence their representatives on key concerns.

'Ii! lyriest: .The .Lord be with you. 'Iill

All: And also with you.

I Priest: Let us pray.

Beloved in Christ: God, our' Father, has, call~d us together as His holy people. May we remember, the needs of th~ Church and pray that all priests will dedtcate themselves to' their priestly vocation.

, For our Holy Father, Paul, and our Bishop, Daniel, and all bishops and priests that they will faithfully give themselves to serve Chri,st and His people, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. That all who are called to the Sacred Priesthood will accept with courage the challenge to share more fully in the vocation of Christ, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. That all who are in God's service will courageously seek t9 follow Christ more perfectly aIid be an example to all, let us pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. That mothers and fathers will encourage their children to follow Christ and rejoice as they are called to the, service of the Church; let us pray to the .Lord. All: Lord, hear our prayer.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord. All: Amen.

Anchor Subscription, Drive Continued from Page One Rev. Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, pastor of Our Lady of the Angels Parish, Fall River has reo ported that his total subscription amounts to 719 and thus every home will receive, The Anchor every week. Rev. George E. Amaral, pastor of St. Anthony's in East Falmouth has surpassed his quota by almost 10 per cent. 322 subscriptions have been - credited to the Cape Cod parish. In telephone checks with widely scattered parishes, it is apparent that Catholics of 1971 are deeply interested in furthering their understanding of their faith in this post-councilar age. The introduction of the "Know Your Faith" Series has developed ,

into a tremendous source of understanding for parents whose children are receiving instructions in Catholic schools and Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes. In many parishes, this series is being used as a supplement to religious training.

Fatima Shrine FATIMA (NC) - Nearly 1.5 million persons received Communion at the famed Marian shrine here in 1970. During the same year about 8,000 Masses were celebrated at the shrine. In addition, 974 couples married at the shrine and the parish church at Fatima and there were 130, Baptisms.

FATHER SCHALLERT

There must be prayer to conform ourselves 'more perfectly to Christ. There must be selfdenial to purify our souls and minds and hearts and direct these to God. There must be almsgiving-the offering of what we are and what we have in the works of mercy directed toward our brothers and sisters in need. From the Holy Eucharist es-

Vatican Rev,iews Scha lIert 'Study For Fa II Synod SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Jesuit Father Eugene J. Schallert, author of the widely read "Schallert Report" which tells why priests and nuns have dropped out of Church ministry or sought new life styles, will compile a similar report for review by the Synod of Bishops next Fall in Rome. Officials at the University of San Francisco, (USF) where Father Schallert heads a scientific project, said the International Federation of Priests Councils had asked the Jesuit to gather all significant publications, reports and commentaries dealing 'with the Catholic priesthood in the United -States. ,The documents will be sent to the Vatican for review by the Synod. The Synod, called by Pope Paul VI, will meet in October to concentrate on questions involving the priesthood and justice in the. world. , The papers will be prepared by the Institute for Socio-Religious Research at USF. Father Schallert is director of the institute. Father Schallert said the papers would be sent to a Catholic organization in Rome called , Pro Mundi Vita (For the Life of the World), an international and multi-lingual documentary service. There they will be combiried with similar documents from other nations. . He said Pro Mundl,Vita would also translate his reports into several languges and distribute them to bishops throughout the world.

Charities Appeal Continued from page One This is the Bishop's first Appeal and it is th,e thirtieth annual call for charity in the Appeal's history. I am looking forward with entpusiasm to assure a bigger and better 1971 Catholic Charities Appeal' for the 31 agencies of the Appeal. With God's help and with the untiring efforts of everyone in the southeastern area of the state, Bishop Cronin will be able to continue the work of charity and mercy to all, regardless of race, or creed." The Special Gifts phase of the . Appeal will be from April 19 to May 1. The Parish campaign wilf be conduCted from May 2, to May 12,

Invitation Bishop Cronin cordially invites all the clergy, religious and .laity in the Diocese to participate in the ordination of Rev. Mr. Michel G. Methot in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Says Christ Found In Social Problems DAYTONA BEACH (NC) "We must be about our Father's business as we work to alleviate the afflictions and injustices of our time, to reconcile, to bind up wounds, to heal."

peciaUy do we draw the power and strength to live out this phase of Christ's redemptive life so ~hat this redemption'might be applied to our lives. As your Bishop, I pray that you may live this Lent well and grow in greater holiness of life.

The urge to get out into the garden is upon us but the weather has been a deterrent up to now. Meanwhile we have started to prepare some of our indoor area for the pre-Spring inside things to do. For one thing, we are going to take advantage of the Those Little Jobs school vacation to start our I recently read about a. college begonias. We have about 30 course that was being offered at in Winter' storage, to be an all-girls midwestern school started in pots in the house. We pot them in a mixture of peat and sand and give them one good watering to get them started.

From then on we water as they need it, or about twice a week, and until they start to send up a strong shoot. Then we move them to a sunny win, dow where they will stay until the danger of frost has passed and can be put outside in the' garden, some time around midMay. Return to Favorites We already have repotted four fuchsia plants which were stored in the basement. Unfortunately I did not give them much water over the Winter so I have doubts that they will start. In the event that any are salvageable, they will be pruned back rather severely once growth starts to show and shaped for outside potting or for the window boxes, whichever strikes my·' fancy come Spring. In the meantime, I will be starting seeds indoors within a couple of weeks and these will be put in the coldframe by late March or early.ApriL iT-his! year I plan to revert to those old favorites, Zinnias, marigolds and asters for a colorful,. long-term display. I find .!l1Yself· more and more enjoying the simple flowers that I loved .for their abundance as a boy as I tire of the more exotic plants.' So . much has been done in terms of hybridizing the old varieties that in many instaances they are relatively new in appearance, size and shape. No matter how we try to spend the last' days before Spring, I still find that it is' no substitute for the real thing, that . is, gettin'g out in the air and puttering around. ,making new ; discoveries every day. In the Kitchen Last everting I spent a· goodly amount of time explaining to my two daughters. the correct way . to wash dishes for, horror of 'horrors, . my -dishwasher ·-is broken. Now before anyone facetiously' claims "Oh, isn't that' just :too bad;~' I ·.must explain further that - doing dishes by hand doesn't bother me, especially'since' I· have two' helpers (willing or otherwise) but what I do find exasperating is that very likely this is just the beginning. . Every time one appliance gives up the ship a whole series of, others seem to join in. .It's mostly a q\lestion of what next. Now, the 'dishwasher isn't that much of a problem because ;t was purchased from one of the local utility.companies and their service is unbelievably good in this day and age.

A toaster with a loose wire, an iron that needs a new cord or a closet that's missing a much-needed hook, become a source of irritation when there's no one around to fix them and when just a little. technical knowledge would go a long, long way. They teach everything else in college, why not this? In this mechanized age when almost everything, including our thinking, is done by machines a good background in' home repairs should be almost as important to the "little woman" as a course in cooking. At least then I'd be able to put in that one bathroom tile that I've been waiting for the tile man to get around to for almost a year, or fix the vacuum cleaner hose without yelling for my father-inlaw;or even get around to doing a little woodwork painting.

Denies Reversa I of Opposition to School Aid NEW YORK (NC) - A statement signed by 20 widely known memb~rs, including two past presidents, denied the New York Board of Rabbis had reversed its long standing opposition of providing public funds to aid parochial schools. The statement was issued by the Jewish Organizations for Church-State Separation which. listed 10 Jewish organizations as members. It was directed to the New York Times, which published a front page story Jan. 28, reporting the ,reversal of its long standing opposition at the 90th annual meeting of the New York . Board of Rabbis her.e. NC News Service carried a silTIilar story in its Jan. 29 report.

"The fact is that the question of government aid to parochial schools was not even considered by the membership, or its duly constituted administrative bod·· ies," the statement -said. "The only action· taken, on which ~he report was apparently based, was an address by the president. But in a democratic body, which the New York Board of Rabbis is, the presi·· dent's views do not create pol .. icy," the statement added. 'Misleading Report' At the meeting Rabbi Harold Saperstein, board president, cal1ed for "an intensified search for means" by which aid 'can be given within the framework of the Constitution and without violating the Church-State separation ~rinciple·, to parochial schools.

The board is a 1,000-membcr organization of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform rabbis. Rabbi Saperstein is a member of the Reform branch. The statement said "undoubt- .. edly some members of the Boarel of Rabbis" would favor such aid, but "many others would oppose it." The statement, in "the interest of truth and fairness," C\lI1ed for "a correction of a IIIis. leading report." The two former board presi· dents who signed the statement are Rabbis David Golovensky and Harry Halpren.

'Check, also, Psalm '22: ' 5; Judges 9: 13; Proverbs 9: 2 for further references about wine's joy-making power. Our Mass has deep roots in the Passover meal, a ritual· ceremony in which the drink was spaced out and accompanied by brief prayers or explanations. In I Corinthians 10:16 we read: "the blessing-up that we bless is a communion with the blood of Christ." Jesus linked wine and cup in a unique way to his Se<;:ond Coming, his final victorious triumph. "I shall not drink any more wine until the day I drink the new wine in the kingdom of God."

Bringing All Men To 'Christ Task F'or Ecumenists NOTTINGHAM (NC) - The most· urgent task for ecumenists' is not to bring Christians closer to each other but to 'bring all men closer to Christ, Cardinal John Heenan of Westminster told a unity meeting here in England. ''The hazard of ecumenism," he said, "is to allow so much energy and time to be used in joint action and discussion cen· tered on our own churches that our primary duty as Christians of preaching the Gospel may be neglected. "The number of active worshipping Christians is small and diminishing. There is increasing awareness ·of the needs of these children- of God while knowledge of God is disappearing." As Christians work at bringing men to Christ, the cardinal said, they should meet ·each other traveling the same road. He said that Christians are now closer- together than they were since the· divisions of Christianity first. took place. Some people, he noted, think the work of unity is progressing too fast. Inglorious History All Christians can in a true sense be called Catholics, he said, because they recite the creed professing belief in the holy Catholic Church, but he added that it is impossible- to shrug off the past. The "fact is, the history of the Protestant Reformation in his country was inglorious," the 'cardinal said. "From the moment King -Henry (VIII), Defender of the Faith- (still an official royal 'title), killed Thomas More'surely the greatest Englishman of all time-until the last martyr shed his blood during the Popish plot of 1680 (an alleged plot to assassinate the king, in which Catholic laymen and clergy (were implicated), Protestants and and Catholics were at war,"

...- -.~I Three Represent Diocese In .N .E. Catholic Tourney Most area schoolboy scholastic bas,ketball teams will conclude their season play tomorrow night when the curtain comes down on another dramatic hoop campaign. Three local schools will represent the diocese in the New England Catholic Invitational Tournament scheduled to com- New Bedford will again usher his talented aggregation to the mence in Lawrence this prestigious Catholic tourney. The weekend. And, later this Blue Wave has always, per~ month the best clubs from this section of the Commonwealth will travel to Boston Garden to compete against the outstanding teams from all districts of the state in the Massachusetts Tech tourney.

Two Narragansett League clubs will represent the diocese in Class B Catholic tourney action and one Bristol County League team will vie for Class A honors, Coach Jack Nobrega who has made a habit of traveling to Lawrence during his 11 year tenure at Holy Fa~i1y High in

formed admirably in the' festival and is expected to do well again this year. The Narry powerhouse which_ has corralled the league title will use tomorrow's loop contest against Diman Regional of Fall River as a warm-up for post season action. ' ,The Nobregamen will also be involved in Tech tourney play and should provide stiff competition for other Class C hopefuls. Bishop Connolly High of Fall River is the other Narry team that will be out to capture the Class B Catholic tourney title.

Connolly Seen As Potential Hoop Power I

Coach Jack Curry's Cougars will be making their first appearance in the event. But, there is no doubt that the invitation was richly deserved. . ", The' youngsters from Fall River have been very impressive in the Narry circuit this Winter. Their big victory over Holy Family undoubtedly has to be interpreted as a giant step for Connolly basketball. An impresssive performance in the Catholic or Tech tourney will prove that the' newcomers are on their way. The prowesses of the young • Cougars has been the talk of the Narry League as of late. And, there are those that feel Connolly is going to be the loop power in the years to come. As one Narry coach who wishes to remain anonymous said, "Look how far they have come in two years. Fall River has an abundance of basketball talent and a

good deal of it is starting to show up at Connolly. It would not surprise me if Connolly turns out to be the top basketball school in the area." The diocese's sole representative in Class A Catholic action will be Bishop Stang High of Dartmouth and the Bristol County League. The Spartans who have been engaged in a neck-and-neck figh't for County laurels with New Bedford all season long will' be displaying their talents in the' tourney for the fifth ~ime in the past six years. Coach John O'Brien's Parochials have the fire-power to stay with any team around. If all can come up with that extra effort and luck is on their side, a necessary ingredient in tourney play, the Spartans may bring back their first Catholic tournament title.

Capeway Champs Tech Class C Favo'~tes New Bedford High, a preseason favorite to do well in Class A Tech action, will finish its regular season tomorrow against Attleboro in the Jew'elry City. In other Bristol County games listed for 'tomorrow night Msgr. Coyle will pe at Stang, Taunton will meet the Artisans at New Bedford Vocational and Durfee High of Fall River will be in Attleboro to play the Bishop Feehan Shamrocks. With two contests remaining Durfee needs two victories to qualify for Tech play. Durfee's Tech record rivals that of any team in the state and it would ~etrayal

and is averaging better than 18 points per game. When he leaves the Connecticut school, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Antonio "Geech" Gomes, 172 Walnut Street, New Bedford, would like to enter either Providence College, Holy Cross, or Connecticut. Tommy, is a communicant of Our Lady of Assumption Church and is one of 10 children, six of whom hav~ left a lasting impres'sion on the Greater New Bedford basketball scene. Paul (30), was a standout at Voke and University of Connecticut; Martin (29), now a priest In the order ,of the Sacred Hearts, was a star and teammate of Paul's at Voke; George -Jake-(25) was a standout at New Bedford High and Eddie (17) and'Steve (16) are, highly regarded performers at Voke and Holy Fan;tily,_ respectively. The four Gomes girls are Mary, Ann, Helen and Regina.

BY LUKE SIMS Tommy Gomes has always dreamed of a career in basketball. Until this year, however, his dreams were blurred by clouds of pessimism, Through his "five" years at New Bedford Vocational High School, Tommy spent as much time on the operating table as he spent on the basketball court. _ Except for a relatively injury free sophomore 'year, his high school career was dotted with ailments. The root of the trouble' 'was Tommy's knees. " Twice in four years, the 6-1, 185-pounder underwent major surgery. The 'first came as the result of a jarring colIision with the Hammond, Auditorium stage (at New Bedford Voke) during a Bristol County League loss to Coyle High on Jan. 7, 1969. It happened during the Artisans' fifth game of the year and signalled the apparent end of Tommy's high schOOl career:. The injury, diagnoseq as torn ligaments, required, immediate surgery. Nearly six weeks of rehabilitation followed before Tommy was ready to resume even a normal walk around existence. He never did play basketball again that season and, in fact, the injury prevented him from completing the school year. Thanks to a ruling in the Massachusetts Secondary School Principals' Association, Tommy was eligible to repeat his senior year and resume his hardwood career. The road to recovery was long and sometimes rocky. Tommy's knee was stiff and he appeared reluctant to go all out. He missed three of Vocational's first four games and managed only 11 total points in the next two. Despite a strong finish in which he averaged 20.8 points per game over the'remaining 10 contests and helped lead' the Artisans into the annual Tech Tournament, he never approached the artistic Gomes style that was evident during his sopho-' more season. Another operation was recommended and last Memorial Day, Tommy underwent the knife for the second time. This ,time the surgery was labeled as a "complete success." Gomes later verified the label

be fitting for the Hilltoppers to be among the entrees again this year. For, rumor has it, that the -man responsible for, at least a portion of, the Red and Black's success over the years is about to relinquish the reins he has controlled for the past II years.' Coach Tom Karam has had his team in the Tech tourney 10 of the past 11 years. And especially because of the difficulties he and his Hilltoppers had to overcome all season long, he deserves to be there this year. pown on Cape Cod, Conference champion Barnstable will put its unbeaten record on the line Frid!!y night whfCn it concludes Conference play against Dennis-Yarmouth. The Red Raiders who will finish the season'. at home tomorrow are rated a' favorite to win the Class C Tech title. '

Priest Commandant Of Chaplain School BROOKLYN (NC)":'-Msgr: William V. O'Connor, a priest of the Hart{ord archdiocese and a colonel in the U.S. Army 'chaplains' corps, has been named' commandant of the army's chaplain school at Fort Hamilton, here. Msgr. O'Connor, a 55-year-Old native of Connecticut, is the 21st chaplain to command t,he school since its official opening at Fort Monroe, Va., in 1918. He is the sixth commander since the school moved here in 1962. During his 26 years in the army, Msgr. O'Connor has served as a chaplain at bases around the world.

Suggests Livening Stuffy Meetings SAN ANTONIO (NC) - Two martinis, back to back, can put an end to "~tuffy and stultifying staff meetings," administrators of religious insffttutions were told here. A cocktail hour, declared Holy Cross Brother Herman E. Zaccarelli, can be the most potent communications medium available. "A single cocktail, for example, can relax management members enough to overcome the timidity and fear organizational structure creates in staff echo elons," he said. Brother Zaccarelli, director of international Food Research and Educational Center with headquarters in North Easton, Mass" said that informal meetings, without rigid structure can be more conducive to development of effective, progressive and original administration than "all the memos, directives and bureaucratic meetings devised." He spoke at a one-day symposium at Incarnate Word College which was aimed at pre· senting new business managemE!nt and attitudes to institutional management.

NEW YORK (NC)-Delegates to the fifth annual meeting here of the Lutheran Council in the USA have reelected the Rev. Oswald C.J. Hoffman of St. Louis to his second one-year term as council president. The St. Louis clergyman has been a ~speaker on the Lutheran Hour for the past 16 years. The Lutheran Council is a co· operative agency formed four years ago by the American Lutheran Church in America, the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches, and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
