Gerrard of New Bedford, the episcopal chairman asserted today.

Broadening Decision Process The clearest sign of. coresponsibility or shared-responsibility was given by the Bishops meeting in San Francisco last week. There were definite steps to collaborate more with the priests, religious and laity from throughout the U. S. and with the bishops from various regions of the country also. John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, the president of the Bish-ops' Conference, made an unmistakeable plea to his fellow bishops to get used to the idea of a shared-responsibility. He said a National Pastoral Council would not diminish their authority but enhance it-because new insights would come from Catholics who are not bishops, because concern for the whole Church would grow with the whole Church in America fully committed and because decisions would be accepted more readily if more people had a hand in shaping them.

The first phase of the Appeal is in full swing as 710 solicitors are completing their calls on the 3,125 professional, business, fraternal and industry leaders throughout the diocese in order to afford them the opportunity of supporting and expanding the 31 agencies that are so essential to the economy of the area and the care of the needy. Mr. Murray, in an interview with The Anchor on Wednesday, stated that "he is tremendously encouraged with the promptness of the special gift solicitors and hopes that returns from the first phase of the Appeal will be completed by Saturday."
First Diocesan CCD Parents'Meeting A CCD first for· the Fall River Diocese and, as far as is known, for New England, will take place Sunday at St. Michael's Church, Fall River, when parishioners will gather for a parents' convention, hopefully to become an -annual event. The convention follows a year-long program directed by Rev. Luciano Pereira, director of CCD for the Portuguese parish. "GetDubbed GAP, - for Acquainted Program," it's en· compassed a series of meetings for parents of each grade-level of CCD and parochial school children, at which it's been em· phasized that teaching religion is the primary responsibility of the home and that the school teacher or CCD instructor is but an aide to the mother and father. Prepared by the meetings, -Father Pereira said parishioners are enthusiastically anticipating Sunday's convention. He noted
that CCD workers and interested parents from other area parishes are cordially invited to attend the event, to begin at 1 o'clock

Catholic Hierarchy Aver Independence LOURENCO MARQUES (NC) -:-Ti:I.e Catholic' bishops of this Portuguese East African land have asserted that they retain their independence and freedom of action even though they get some· support from the government. This passage in a collective pastoral letter 'is seen here as a reply to remarks made recently by Archbishop Emmanuel Mallingo of Lusaka, in neighboring Zambia, to the effect that the Church 'in the Portuguese-ruled areas of Mozambique and Angola is actually an instrument of the state because of the financial assistance it receives from the government. . The lengthy pastoral letter, signed by the bishops of Mozambique's eight dioceses, concluded with this assertion: "The Church ,in the Province of Mozambique, without ceasing to respect legitimate authority in its proper sphere and cooperating with' it for the common good, still preserves, and can affirm when necessary, an independence of which it is justly proud."

WASHINGTON (NC)-Tourists coming to Washington, and this is the season for them, must be struck with the great complexity of national and world affairs, 'if they take time out from walking and looking to read the local newspapers. Tourism is the second biggest business here. Government, the federal government', is the biggest. Politics has been described as the art of getting into office, and it is far from a game in this city. Therefore, newspapers in the capital give a great deal more space to politics than do the newspapers in many of the tourists' home towns, and, ih doing so, they illuminate the many and serious problems confronting the nation. All of the seats in the House of Representatives and one-third of the seats in the Senate are up for filling this November. The activity which this fact would normally stimulate in politics seems to have been stepped up because these elections are expected to have a particular bearon the presidential election in 1972.

astronauts with a day of prayer, when President Nixon told the country of plans to withdraw 150,000 additional U. S. troops from Vietnam; Judge G. Harold Carswell announced he would run for the Senate; Earth Day was marked across the country; communist military units improved their positions in Cambodia; the Soviet Union began the observance of the 100th an~ niversary of the birth of Lenin, and so on. In only a matter of hours, one. could read that all of these events had below-surface implications. Some newspaper editorials thought President Nixon's talk was just right; others thought it lacked something. Some people asked whether the President would remove large numbers of troops before or after the November elections. . Others rose up to say Cambodia and Laos are now all parts of the same problem. Each new voice raised added to the complexity of an already difficult situation. Political Phenomenon Observance in the USSR of Lenin's 100th birthday might seem to interest us not at all, but the administration was watching closely to see if the occasion produced some change in Soviet foreign policy, or some developmen,t of Russia's small hint that a Geneva conference should be called on the problems of the Indo-Chinese peninsula. Earth Day was a manifestation of the "Environment Movement," which some observers here said is 'already a new political phenomenon. Its results were being watched here to see if the "day" marked a peaking of the movement or the bf;ginnings of a new political coalition that could be a force for years to come. All in all, a visitor reading the local press for just a few days could get the impression that life, particularly the life of a politician, is not easy.

Supreme Court To Hear Penn. School. Case WASHINGTON (NC)- A Pennsylvania effort to purchase services from nonpublie schools may be reviewed by the U. S. Supreme Court next Fall following the high court's notice of probable jurisdiction in a taxpayer's appeal from a lower court ruling. The notice of probable jurisdiction indicates that the court' will hear the case unless justices discover before the appeal date that they do not have jurisdict,ion. Three individual taxpayers and six organizations brought the appeal. In their case, they claimed that a 1968 law author· izing the state to purchase servo ices from non public schools un· constitutionally aids religion. The plaintiffs also charged that funding the service pur· chases from a tax on horse rae· ing and on cigarettes interferes with the freedom of citizens not to have their money used by the state to support religion. Established Principle Earlier, a federal district court in Philadelphia upheld the con· stitutionality of the 1968 law. The court agreed that the ar· rangement fulfills a legislative obligation to improve education for' all school-age children, re gardless of the school they at· tend. William Ball of the Harrisburg law firm of Ball and Skelly, representing seven religiously af· filiated schools in the case, told NC News that the principle of the purchase of services was well established under the U. S. Constitution. He said that in Pennsylvania. the state reimbursed non public schools for secular services al'· ready rendered to Pennsylvania school children. "This is done on a contl''1ct basis," Ball point· cd out, "with the schools pro· viding services outlined by the state and with state authorities determining the amount of reimbursement. "

Atlanta Plans to Form Mediation Board Provides System of Constructive Conciliation ATLANTA (NC)-A 23·mem· ber mediation board to deal with disputes arising in the Church within the three·state ecclesiasti· cal province of Atlanta will be formed soon. In addition to a mediation board, a provisional advisory committee of bishops and clergy also will be established, it was announced through the Atlanta chancery office here. The proposal for the mediation board has been under consideration since last year. The overall plan has been approved by Arch· bishop Thomas E. Donellan of Atlanta and Bishop Gerald L. Frey of Savannah, Ga.; Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of the statewide Charleston, S.C." diocese, and . Bishop Vincent L. Waters of the statewide Raleigh, N. C., diocese. Hearing Panel Bishop Frey and a priest from each Senate of the three dioceses drafted the original pro· posal which was submitted to the provincial bishops last No· vember. Since then. the proposal has been refined and resubmit· ted. The Atlanta chancery office announcement said:
Prelate Stresses Authentic Theology YOUNGSTOWN (NC)-Cincinnati's Archbishop Paul F. Leibold advocated a return to scripturally·based, authentic theology, plus a rejection of "me-ology," to clear a "polluted atmosphere" damaging the priesthood. He posed this question: "How many trees must be destroyed hefore we start again with our simple catechism lesson and humbly ask 'Why am I here?' and simply reply 'I am in this world to know, love and serve God, and thereby gain heaven;', hefore we center our 'ology,' our science in the 'theos,' in God, and not in His creature. 'me?'" He spoke at a Mass commemorating the 25th anniversary of the ordination of Bishop James W. Malone and six Youngstown priests.
..
"The propo§al calls for the establishment of a mediation board composed of 23 people. including a bishop, priests, nuns, laymen and women. Its purpose will be to help safeguard the rights and dignity. of individuals as well as afford a system of constructive peacemaking and conciliation.
Stresses Peac·e, Social Justice ATLANTA (NC)-Bishop Ger· aId L. Frey of Savannah urged some 2,000 delegates to the third Southeastern Congress on Worship to get involved in efforts for peace and social justice be· cause "that's what Jesus did." Bishop Frey commented that traditionally the Church had tried to improve the social struc· ture by changing the hearts and minds of her children for the better. "History," he added, "shows the relative ineffectiveness of such .an approach to the moral problems plaguing modern
man." The bishop continued: "The truth of the matter is that today the only pulpit from which the Church can effectively announce the glad tidings of, the Gospel ':' * ':' is to he found in the midst of the people. Th;it's what Jesus did. His Church can do no less." Robert Rambusch, church designer and decorator, called for Church involvement in the life of the community through multiuse church b,uildings. Pointing to shortages of space and money. he asked if congregations could afford to build and maintain structures that stand empty 95 per cent of every week. He urged surrender of the "sacred place" concept of church architecture and a return to using the church building for social services, public meetings and other forms of "serving human needs."
Productive Effoll't Let us go forth and resol!JtcIy dare with sweat of brow to toil our little day. -Milton
"The board shall appoint a competent hearing panel for each case it accepts to mediate. Although the findings of the hearing panel shall have no co· ercive power, they will have the moral weight and binding force which their truth conveys. Care for All "Such a formula rests on the presumption of good will among all concerned. It also asserts that. in the Church as a commu· nity of love, there must be anxious care for all men, those in authority and those subject to it. "Such care is demanded, first by human honor; and then, much more, by the charity of Christ. Such a board is not con· ceived to preclude the possibility of further redress within Church structures." The announcement said the provincial advisory committee of bishops and clergy will be composed of bishops of the province and two priests selected by each Senate in the province. The priests selected do not have to be actual 'members of the Senates. The committee will meet twice a year priQr to the semi-annual bishops' meetings. "It is further anticipated that study win be given to the future participation of members of the laity as well as men and women Religious in th~ provincial advisory. commit· tee," the announcement said.

Priests to Carry t D. Cards NAPLES (NC)-Pricsts of the Naples archdiocese will start carrying ide!ltification cards to separate them from a rash of confidence men who have been collecting alms, hearing confes· sions and sometimes even cele· brating Mass in this city. The diocesan magazine, Januarius, in its most recent issue, asked all priests of the archdio· cese to send in biographical data, two photographs and their exact assignment in the diocese. The magazine explained that the archdiocese wants to issue identification cards to all bonafide priests hecause there has been a rash of phony priests in the archdiocese. The masqueraders have not only deceived priests and laity in collecting funds, the magazine said. but also sacrilegiously have celebrated Masses for a stipend and even heard confessions.

Bishops to Make Annua I Report To Pop~ Paul OTTAWA (NC) - Each year fr:om, now on, the Pope WJIl receive a ,first-hand personal report on the Canadian
Church from two Canadian bishops. The' decision to institute such a reporting system was announced by Canadian Catholic Conference president, Archbishop A. J. Plourde of Ottawa, at a news briefing following the Spring general- assembly here of the conference, national association of all Canadian bishops. Archbishop Plourde said that last Fall's Synod in Rome had asked episcopal conferences to consider ways, of developing Vatican-conference relations, and the decision to send two bishops for face~to-face meetings with the' Pope was the Canadian bishops' reply. Designated for the new task are the Conference president and vice~president. both elected, by their episcopal peers. ' "I would think these reports and those of the apostolic pronuncio in Canada will supplement and complete one another." Archbishop Plourde said at the news conference. The vice-president is Bishop William E. Power. of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. When he and Archbishop Plourde might make their first report to Pope Paul VI and what it might contain were not discussed at the press conference. Role of Prie~t The plan to visit the' Pope regularly was one item in an emerging work-style of the - - / --Canadian bishops. and the entire agenda of the meeting was another. ' The agenda gave a definite emphasis to information sessions and 'workshops on "The Role of the Priest in the Modern World," with representative French-and English-speaking priests joining ,the discussion, other sessions dealt with drug use in Canada, family policies, procedure for de'rical dispensation, mixed marriages, youth today. the Church and poverty and the Church and pluralism. A post-meeting assessment of the new, style meeting is planned through "it- canvass of bishops' reactions. but first impressions by a number of individual bishops were strongly in favor. The meeting, they noted, gave the bishops an opportunity to explore a number of serious questions together, in dialogue with specialists in conference offices or from 'outside the conference.

There is one way to give to another and yet still have for oneself. And that is to give to those in. need. .I . True, the gift does leave one's own hands. And yet it does not leave one empty-handed. :. There is satisfaction from· giving to those who need help. But--even more-there is the knowledg'e 'that what one has given to the least of the Lord's brethren has been given to Him. This is-and must b~the motivating force behind the Catholic Charities Appeal. No other motive is wort~y.

'It is easy to, proclaim cpncern for others. But the proof is in the act. " ' When one reaches out· to those in need. he is not only extending a hand to his neighbor. He is rea.ching out to the helpless Christ in others and serving Him. And he' is ' helping himself, too. Because what he gives away lenriches his' own life. He becomes Christ-like in reaching Iout . to the sick, the aged, the weary, the burdened,.the young, the helpless. And what better role can one fill? 'It is a role that benefits both' recipient and giver. .And it is the most worthy role that any person can fulfill. ' It is really ,a privilege to be the .helpers of the Lord. It is a privilege to be able to do something about a brother or sister in need. No one is more helpless than one who ha.s a need that he cannot resolve. And no one has less hope. And to think, that a few dollars from each of many persons can ans~er that need and can strengthen that hope. This, indeed, is love in action. It is Christ continuing to live and work among men.

GREENSBORO (NC) - The North Carolina Priests' Associa· tion has voted to support a national effort t.o obtain a due process procedure in the Cath· olic Church in this country. The statewide group, which represents 57 priests, is affiliated with the National Federation of Priests' Councils based in Chicago. The national group's quest for the dU,e pr'ocess procedure is tied in with the effort for a fair, impartial hearing of 19 priests in the Washington archdiocese, disciplined by Cardinal Patrick A. O'Boyle over a conflict in interpretation of Pope Paul's encyclical on birth control. Humanae Vitae. ,The state group meeting here, attended by 26 priests, authorized Fathers H. C. Mulholland of Greenville and Ronald McLaughlin of Lexington, to represent it at a May 3 meeting in Chicago and tO,support a plan of definite action for a due process procedure. The meeting also heard an address bv Vic Nussbaum of Greensboro, spokesman for the newly formed Carolina Catholics for Renewal, who explained the organization is designed to promote greater participation by laity in 'Church affairs of the statewide Ralel~h diocese.

Palestine Volunteers ~ative Women Participate in Projects Sponsored by Pontifical· Mission NEW YORK (NC) - Women have a great ,need to be of service because its part of their feminine make-up, according to Miss Carol Hunnybun, whose life has been, one of service. For the past seven ye'ars, she has served as administrator of the Jerusalem office of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine. Interviewed in the New York office of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, Miss Hunnybun insisted that women involved in service projects don't have to be "doormats."
Priests Quit City Advisory Council JERSEY CITY (NC) - Claiming the city administration wanted the Citizens' Advisory Council here to act as a rubber stamp for city policies. two priests resigned from the council. Fathers James F. A. O'Brien of Christ the King parish and John P. Egan of St. Boniface parish, distributed their letters of resignation to council members at a public meeting when they were unable to read the letters. They had been appointed to the council in 1968. The council is a 90-member body which is to advise the city on federal Office of Economic Opportunity programs. Federal law requires the establishment of such bodies before funds can be provided. In their letters, addressed to Mayor Thomas Whelan, the two priests charged the mayor is unwilling to listen to the advice of citizens andOEO officials. They said they could no longer serve on the council i!, good conscience.
Palestine was established by Pope Pius XII in 1949 to care for the Palestine Arabs forced to flee from their homes as a result of the Israeli-Arab war of 1948.

Criticize Cathal ic Doctors, Nurses
By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick
TRIVANDRUM (NC)-A committee of the Kerala state legislature here in India has called for disciplinary steps against doctors who refuse to cooperate in the official family planning campaign. An Estimates Committee on public health consisting of eight legislators pointed out in are· port released here that some doctors in the state's health department still question the need for birth control and campaign publicity against. it. The committee recommended that the state government take stcrn action against thcm. The legislators' report apparently refers to the many Catholic doctors and nurses who do not cooperate in sterlization operations and other birth control work. Some state governments in India transfer stich conscientious objectors to duties not involving birth control. It is not known, however, how the Kerala government deals with them. The legislative committee also proposed that a cash award given to those who volunteer for sterilization ancl vasectomy be increased to $2
Like most families we are presently experiencing the post. aut.omobile insurance-income tax blues and so we spent. t.his past vacation wit.ha minimum of pocket money and a maximum of time.

home. Our first "vacation" was spent· touring local antique, shops looking Jor a piece of junk which would be useful in some manner or form in our house. Needless to say we were unsuccessful in our search, but the kids enjoyed rummaging around among the junk with frequent admonitions from their parents to leave things alone. . On another day we jumped into the car and headed for Bos· ton. We visited the new Boston City Hall, which is quite an interesting building, toured the market district and had lunch at famed Durgin Park Restaurant. The children enjoyed the whole business although Beryl was not too struck with the cleanliness of the Faneuil Hall area of Boston, or with Durgin Park (although she was impressed with the size of the meat dishes and the $4.75 lunch tab for the five of us. Charles River Picnic Next on the agenda was a trip to Cambridge and Harvard Square. This is a relatively inexpensive afternoon with a picnic lunch along the Charles River and a jaunt through the' shops. We like to eat at Barney's in Harvard Square but a picnic is more fun for the kids and is much easier on the pock~ etbook. This would have been a perfect week had we been able to take in the Patriot's Day ball game and the ensuing marathon, but the kids were sick that day so we had to pass up that pleasure. At any rate, the week cost us little more than the cost of gas and a couple of lunches and it was just great. The children understood that W<l didn't have much ready cash so they forgot about buying things for themselves and just enjoyed cruising around getting what they could from what was at hand. This changed their approach to travelling for at least week and they looked forward to seeing something of value that they could remember rather than concentrating on what they could buy. In the Kitchen Ordinarily on the spring vaca· tion we try to take the family on a small trip. Last year it was Washington, the year before Montreal; but this year finances forced us to limit our vacation to a few day trips to nearby Boston and Providence. Even this was postponed to week's end when both Meryl and Jason ended up housebound with sicknesses. Ah ,well there's always the public library. , In our city we have a new librarian and while I always enjoyed any jaunt I took to the library, the whole atmosphere now urges the visitor to come in and read books. Last week was National Book week and anyone who returned overdue books didn't have to pay a fine. New books crowd the outdated ones off the shelves and truly it's now a reader's paradise. This is where my vacation week frequently found me, and with very few regrets, for I have often declared that my idea of paradise is all the books one

my vacation hours, The Jewish Wife, by Gwen Gibson Schwartz and Barbara Wyden, published by Peter Wyden, Inc. This is l:l report on a particular ethnic group so well written that it's by far the most interesting such report I have ever read. One chapter flows into another and as one reads about the woman of the Jewish race one can't help but be impre;sed with how -much all women are alike, with the same fears, the same desires and the same hopes for their children. Perhaps if we were, more informed on people of other races and religions we would be more tolerant of differences and real· ize that basically, 'people are people.

Bishop Approves New Regulations On Burial Rites PORTLAND (NC)-Bishop Peter L. Gerety of Portland has approved new regulations on Christian burial which include an easing of the ban on cremation. The new regulations, recommended by the Portland priests' senate, state that cremation, while not to be encouraged, may be permitted in special cases. The normal practice of burying bodies of the faithful should be maintained when reasonably possible, the regulations stated. The regulations noted that "since Christian burial is a right and not a privilege, if there is a doubt of law or of fact regarding this right, Christian burial is to be given." It was also stated that, due to psychological considerations, a person committting suicide will normally be granted Christian burial, as will an unbaptized infant. Choose Cemetery Ecumenical considerations have also been included in the new burial regulations. While Catholics are encouraged to buy lots in Catholic cemeteries when possible, they may choose any cemetery for burial. Members of other faiths, especially relatives of Catholics, may also be buried in Catholic cemeteries. A scriptural service, given by both priest and minister, or even a funeral Mass may be' celebrated in a Catholic church for a non-Catholic. Graveside rites may then be conducted by a priest, a minister or both. The Maine Ordinary asked the priests' senate to ma~e a study of the prindples of Christian burial and consider bringing them in line with Vatican II decrees.
Pontiff Stresses Personal Prayer VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, noting that liturgical and community prayer is being revived, lamented that personal prayer is diminishing to the point where "it threatens the liturgy itself with inner impoverishment." He sa id there is a .tendency among Christians, even among Religious and the clergy, to secularize everything. He mentioned this, he explained at his weekly general audience, (April 22)" because "prayer is falling into decadence." He said that community and liturgical prayer is "re-acquiring a diffusion, a participation, a comprehension of its own which is certainly a blessing for our people and our times." The Pope added that current liturgical reforms have been studied "with wise and patient care by the best liturgists of the Church." "It will be a well cared for liturgical life that will watchfully and actively maintain the religious sense of our times, so profane and so desecrated, and that will give the Church a new spring of religious and Christian life," he continued. "But at the same. time we must lament the diminishing of personal prayer which thus threatens the liturgy 'itself with inner impoverishment, external ritualism and purely formal practice." . The Pope emphasized the necessity "that each shol,lld pray also within himself and by himself."

The ·Church's new tactic of speaking out in the midst of society angers some who insist the Church "should stay in the pulpit," but the truth of the matter today, he declared is that the only pulpit where the Church can effectively impart the Gospel "is to be found in the midst of the people where they are." "That's what Jesus did. His Church can do 'no less," Bishop Frey stressed.

Vl'\TICAN CITY (NC) - Com· mon efforts to solve urgent world problems were stressed by Pope Paul VI and Canada's first envoy to the Holy See as the latter presented his credentials here. Ambassador .fohn E. Robbins told the Pope tha'( his country had sent him to the Vatican to work for "our common interest in solving pressing international problems." The Pope told the envoy: "We know the contributions made by your country in this regard. We are now confident that this new bond that unites us will enabll' both of us to work more effectively toward those goals of our common interest." Common goals cited by the ambassador were "assistance to underdeveloped nations and refugees, avoidance or settlement of conflicts, and the promotion of understanding and cooperation among peoples." Sharp criticism by Protestant leaders and opposition members of the Canadian Parliament followed last year's announcement by Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau that he intended to establish diplomatic relations between his country and the Holy . See. Critics claimed this would be divisive and create unrest.
Church Reports Vocations Crisis SYDNEY (NC) - The Presbyterian Church in Australia, likc the Catholic Church, is suffering from a vocations crisis. The magazine, The Australian Presbyterian Life, said a recent survey showed a serious decline in the number of Presbyterian theological students and that the number of ministerial vacancies will increase in the next 10 years. It said that many men in the Presbyterian ministry in Austra'lia are more than 55 years old and that death and retirement in the next decade will reduce the total without any present hope of replacing them. The editorial said that it is possible that the ministry will give place to "some other form of leadership within the Church, perhaps less professionalized, perhaps less definitely marked from the rest of the membership."

Asserts Bishops Committee Has High Opinion of Chavez
13
By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.
Though the year is still very young, it is safe to predict that 1970 will be recorded as a major turning point in the history of farm labor in the United States. Thanks in great part to the skillful intervention of the U. S. Bishops ad hoc Committee on Farm Labor by reporting that "in -appointed last November editorial) the front row of the press corps' by Cardinal Dearden and (at the Bishops' press conference authorized to act in the in the Los Angeles Chancery ofname and on behalf of the entire National Conference of Catholic Bishops a number of coIlee t i v e bargaining contracts between C a I i for n ia growers· and the Un i ted Farm Workers Or g ani zing Com mit t ee have already bee n signed and several additional contracts are currently being negotiated. It is too early to tell whether or not these breakthrough contracts represent an irreversible trend which will eventually result in a complete, across-theboard settlement of the California grape dispute. If I were the gambling type. however, I would be willif)g to wager that, by this time next year, the majority of the growers in the grape industry will have settled with the committee and would also be willing to predict that, two years from now, they will be asking themselves, at least in private, why in the world they waited so long to do so. Stoop to Conquer The latter prediction is based on the assumption' that the growers will learn by experience, as the rest of American industry has long since discovered, that collective bargaining makes good sense in practice as well as in theory and that there is really no substitute for it in an economy as dynamic and as complicated as our own. It comes as no surprise, however, that the Catholic weekly, Twin Circle, looks at this matter somewhat differently and. is not at all happy about the fact that the Bishops Committee on Farm Labor has been instrumental in effecting a number of collective bargaining settlements in the California grape industry. Nor does it come as any surprise that Twin Circle, instead of attacking the Bishops Committee directly - which would have been the manly thing to do - has again stooped to conquer (and stooped very low, I might add) by again venting its spleen against Cesar Chavez, director of the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee. Libelous Attack Philip Nolan's news story in the April 19 issue of Twin Circle on the first round of settlements in the grape dispute is an unbelievably shoddy performance. More of an editorial than a news story, it repeatedly suggests that Chavez is a dangerous revolutionary who is out to destroy the American social system. The qbvious purpose of this libelous attack on Chavez' reputation is to creat':l the impression, without saying so directly, that the Bishops Committee has either been hoodwinked by Chavez or, worse than that, is consciously conspiring to promote the nefarious interests of a very dangerous ·individual. To cap it all, off, Mr. Nolan concludes his story (I mean his
fice) sat Sam Kushner of the Communist People's World, a feature writer and functionary in the Communist Party." I take it that this little tidbit of incidental information was intended to suggest - again without saying so directly - that Chavez is not only a revolutionary in the broad sense of the word but a communist revolutionary at that. Shared by All This is a very sick kind of "reporting" and, so far as I am personally concerned, it is utterly beneath contempt. If Mr. Nolan hart wanted his readers to know what happened at the Bishops press conference, what he should have told them is that Mr. Kushner's was almost certainly the only Communist paper out of approximately 100 papers, radio stations and TV networks represented at the press conference and,. even more significantly, that Bishop Joseph Donnelly, chairman of the Bishops Committee, went out of his way at the press conference to pay his respects to Mr. Chavez as a man who is totally dediSO ATTLEBORO CYO'S GOOD FORTUNE: Rev.

If Mr. Nolan had wanted to do any· editorializing on Bishop Donnelly's statement, he could have added, with complete accuracy, that the Bishop's high .opinion of Chavez is enthusiastically shared by all of the other members of the ad hoc Committee. . Whether Twin Circle likes it or not, this just happens to be the fact of the matter. I wouldn't have expected} the editors of Twin Circle to be happy about it, given their almost pathological contempt for Chavez. On the other hand, I most certainly would have expected ~hem to report it as a fact and to report it straight. Lector at Ordination I would also have expected them to let their readers know that one of the members of the Bishops Committee told them some weeks ago in writing-and in no uncertain terms-that he greatly admires Cesar Chavez and totally disagrees with Twin Cities' repeated efforts to portray Chavez as a Communist , revolutionary. Incidentally the Bishop might have added in his letter to the editors of Twin Circle that the principal source upon which Twin Circle has based its repeated attempts to smear the good· name of Chavez-a report of the California Senate subcommittee on un-American activities - has long since been completely discredited and has Modern electric dishwashers give dishes the treatment, not your never been acted upon by the hands.

CLEVELAND (NC)-The National Assembly of Women Religious, designed to ser've as "the voice" of 160,000 nuns in this country, was founded here. More than 2,000 delegates closed a three-day convention by approving decisively a resolution establishing the assembly and electing a 15-member steering committee to implement the or- . ganization. There will be three classes of . membership-individual, council and organization. A council is defined as the official organization of women religious in a diocese and an organization as a de facto group of women' religious that is not the official diocesan organization. Council and organ izations, it was agreed, may qualify for membership even if they include members who are not w.omen religious. All classes of merpbers will have voting' rights and representation' on the national governing strlicture. , As plans now stand, the national governing group will include an' executive committee 'and a national house of delegates. The plans also include a provision for a provincifll (re-' gional) "house of delegates if needed.

DES MOINES (NC) - A bill providing temporary aid to Iowa non-public school students squeezed thrqugh the state legislature in the dying moments of the session ..

FOUND MONEY What would you do if you found a ten or twenty dollar "bill? You could pay a debt. You could buy something. You could invest it. Or you could give it away. One thing for sure, you wouldn't just leave it! Our sense of value behind.a "piec.e learned .value. Remember trying to decide 25c allowance? The feeling derived from job? The delight in receiving .an income
of green paper" is a what to do with your the pay of your first tax refund?
'fhe gospel parable tells us of the woman who was very upset when she los.t one of ten silver coins. She searched the house furiously because that one coin was equivalent to her husband's daily wage, and in those days the people of Palestine were taxed 40 per cent or more of their income. When the woman found the coin she rejoiced and "called her friends and neighbors together," In a sense, our tax refund is like finding a lost coin. This year would you share your tax refund-your "found money"with the poor of the world? With your "neighbors and friends" in the missions who have "no coins"? With those who, unlike most of us, have NEEDS, instead of WANTS. The value of your money means so much more for them and for the missionaries serving their. needs. Even the smallest sacri~ fice on your part can mean someone will have something to eat; someone will have medicine or clothes; someone will have the chance to learn to read; and someone will come to know about Christ and His Church. The value of your support of the Church's missions cannot be measured in dollars and cents, as one cannot measure the value of a sacrifice made for others. A helping hand to the poor and suffering of today's world is truly a response of Christian love and mission awareness. We beg you to' use this one-a-year opportunity to share your tax refund as an investment for others, for Christ, and your Church. Can you afford to pass'it by? We hope not. Please clip out this column and enclose it with your sacrifice, whether a tax refund or not, it will be a "found coin" in the missions and a cause for many to rejoice. f)'O..

Tuition Increase Strike Closes BC' Classes BOSTON (NC) - Nearly 5,000 undergraduate students of Boston College, a Jesuit institution, have rejected a negotiated settlement of a campus strike called over a proposed tuition raise. The student referendum rejected a compromise tuition increase of $240 and a 19-point agreement offering undergraduate representatives a voice in the formulation of the university operating budget and other administrative matters. The agreement had been reached by student government representatives and administration officials after four days of bargaining. Reject Proposal An undergraduate student congress called the strike when Father W. Seavey Joyce, S.J., university president, proposed a $500 tuition increase. F th J . d" extreme a er oyce vOIce concern" over the prospect of a continuation of the strike" and "the implication this has for the whole university." Of 6,000 undergraduates, 4,598' voted in the referendum; 3,395 in opposition to the settlement, 1,203 in favor of approval. The student representatives planned to revise the agreement and obtain Father Joyce's approval of revisions, before submitting to the student body for another referendum. Meanwhile, the students planned to continue a boycott of classes. FinanciDI Strain The original strike plan called for a boycott of classes until the administration withdrew all proposals for a tuition increase In the 1971-72 academic year. The rejected settlement provided: a formula, by January . 1971, for a cost projection of an incoming freshman's four year contract; announcement of future tuition increases at the be· ginning of a second semester; designation of representatives for the university budget committee and student membership on a planning committee to discuss the university's future; creation of a student-faculty-administration committee to study state and federal funding, and involvement of students in efforts to decrease the financial strain of the university.

Pope Receives General Clark VATlCAN CITY (NC) - Gen. Mark W. Clark, the U. S. World War 11 general whose army liberated Rome in 1944, and who later was nominated for the post of ambassador to the Vatican, was received in a private audience by Pope Paul VI April 20. Pope Paul had known the American commander during his residence in Rome 25 years ago. Gen. Clark commanded the U. S. Fifth Army, which, with British troops, occupied Rome after German forces pul1ed out leaving it an open city. As Pope Pius XII's aide, Pope Paul, then Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini and a substitute secretary of state, worked with the general and his command to relieve hungE"r, suffering and prisoners in the city and outlying areas. President Harry Truman nominated Gen. Clark as the first U. S. Ambassador to the Vatican in 1951. The nomination was not sent to the Senate for ratification, however, because of hostility to the idea of the U. S. having diplomatic relations with a Church. Gen. Clark saw Pope Paul while in Rome with eight memhers of the American Battle Monuments Commission, of which he is chairman. The commission team wil1 spend three weeks in inspecting World War I and II military cemetery memorials jn Europe and North Africa.

Dr. Clarence Walton,. president of the Catholic University of America' here, was named chairman of the panel. Other members are William G. Saltonstall, former principal of Phillips Exeter Academy,.

LOUIS (NC)-Methodist bishops meeting in a five-day general conference here described the war in Vietnam as "a fiasco impossible to justify" and urged immediate increase of troop withdrawals from the Southeast Asian country. At the same time, the 100 bishops blasted racism in the U. S. as "a plague which afflicts all of us" and added: "We can no longer tolerate a second-class status for any segment of the human race." Delegates to the convention applauded the bishops' statement. They also applauded Dr. Anna Arnold Hedgeman, assistant to New York's former Mayor Robert Wagner, when she presented black requests for, more than $21 million from the Methodist body.

the National Union of Christian Schools, and Bishop William E. McManus, director of education for the archdiocese of Chicago. In a statement '. issued at a White House press briefing, President Nixon said he urged the panel to keep two considerations in' mind: "First our purpose here is not to aid religion in particular, but to promote di~ versity in education within the Constitution. Second, that while the panel deliberates, non-public schools in the United States are closing at the rate of one a day." Give Parents Choice The President said the nonpublic elementary and secondary schools in the United States "have long been an integral part of the nation's educational establishment," and that "they supplement in an important way the main task of our public school system." Mr. Nixon warned that "should any single school system-public or private-ever acquire a complete monopoly over the education of our children, the result would neither be good for that school system nor good for the country." He added that "the non-public schools also give parents the opportunity to send children to a school of their own choice, and. of their own religious denomination. They offer a wider range of possibilities for educational experimentation and special opportunities, especially for Spanish-speaking Americans and black Americans." Burden on Public The President said that up un·
Code
til now "we have failed, to consider the consequences of declining enrol1ments in private elementary and secondary schools, most of them church-supported, which educate 11 per cent of all pupils - close to six million school children." He said that if most or all private schools were to close or turn public, the added burden on public funds by the end of the 1970s would exceed $4 billion per year in operations and with an estimated $5 billion more neded for facilities.' "There is an equally important consideration: these schools -non-sectarian, Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and other-often add a dimension of spiritual value to education affirming in children a moral code by which to live," the President said. "No government can be indifferent to the potential col1apse of such schools." The President recalled that he had said earlier that the "specific problem of parochial schools" was to be a particular assignment of the Commission on School Finance, and that riow he is establishing the new par:el within that commission.

Archbishop Reaffirms Commitment Of Church to Catholic Schools DAYTON (NC) - Archbishop Paul F. Leibold of Cincinnati has called for a "realistic, up-to-date and practical" program to provide quality Catholic education for "all our children, indeed especially for those with the greatest need." Speaking to teachers, administrators and parents at the 30th annual Catholic Education Day observances here, the archbishop reaifirmed the commitment of the Church and the archdiocese to Catholic education and Catholic schools. "Along with the clear mandate of Christ to teach, enforced and made specific by the Church's official teaching, we have the evident and constantly proved fact that our peop:e want Catholic schools," he said. "I note that the most difficult problem in establishing a new parish is when and how to establish a parish school. And the most difficult problem in helping an old parish face the reality of its decline is to encQurage. it to .discontinue its school," he said., Archbishop Leibold said for achievmg the "ideal" in Catholic <:c1ucation the program should he one that: "Takes the world, its need and 'ts people, as they are today. . Uses all the modern proven ~t'chniques for teaching, as well as the latest material. "Can be implemented on the practical level with a view both to our assets as well as our limitations. " Goals Remllin Discussing the future of Catholic education, Archbishop Leibold said: "We certainly are not on a phasing-out program. Our goals remain the same, and we are going to continue the struggle, with the cooperation of our good people, to attain them." At the same time, he said, "we btend to place more emphasis on the quality of our educational program than on sheer number of pupils involved or number of classrooms or schools in operation." "This will require some painful elimination of the smaller units, not by cutting back but by uniting facilities," he said. In estimating the future of Catholic schools, the Religious on teaching staffs are "the most unpredictable" element, the archbishop said. Once the backbone of the school system had been the Religious, he added. Constructive Experimentation The once simple concepts of their apostolate have "changed in an age of extreme personalism ':' ':' .:' A very basic change in religious life has literally rocked our Catholic school system," he said. He added that "anyone who interprets what I have said as complaining about our good Religious or placing the blame on their shoulders is reading into
Blames Bankruptcy On Grape Boycott FRESNO (NC)-One of Calijornia's largest table grape producers put part of the blame for his company's' bankruptcy on a two-year boycott of grapes. Anthony Bianco, head of the Bianco Fruit Corporation, said that the grape boycott and related labor problems put his firm in a financial bind. The United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO, headed by Cesar Chavez, organized the grape boycott as part of its effort to win union recognition for grape vineyard workers.

Backs Cardinal's Amnesty Plea
my factual observations an clement I never intended to be there." In addidon to speculating about the future of Catholic education, Archbishop Leibold said, it is necessary to "answer some very hard questions" about what is to be included in an educationa program, and to "set our priorities and admit our priorities and admit our limits." "It seems evident," he路 continued, "that we are in no position to provide all sorts of specialized courses and programs. On the other hand ,~ ':' ':' it seems that we are in the best position to engage in some constructive experimentation in the field of education and thus make a positive contribution to the total field."
BOSTON (NC) _. The Methodist dean of Boston UAiversity chapel urged President Nixon "to grant amnesty to those who arc prisoners, exiles OJ' military deserters in opposition to the Vi,.cnam war." Dean Robert H. Hamill made his appeal in a statement supporting Cardinal Richard Cushing's Easter sermon calling for a spirit of reconciliation toward social protesters. Cardinal Cushing's suggestion for a national amnesty earlier won support of nine Protestant leaders here. Dr. Hamill said Cardinal Cushing's position "may be unpopular, but I believe it is morally right and politically sound." He proposed that the Massachusetts legislature adopt a resolution appealing to the President "to grant 8.mnesty for political offense related to the war in ATHENS (NC)-The Catholic Vietnam."

was listed as the team's starting shortstop when the Crusaders left for their first southern trip in 39 years on Easter Sunday. When .the team returned, Bren· nan hadn't lost his rating. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Brennan, 55 Grant Street, North Attleboro, Ty was a three-sport athlete at Bishop Feehan High School and an outstanding member of the HC freshman diamond squad. Shamrock Co-Captain While at Feehan, Brennan was a football quarterback, a. forward on the basketbaH team and a pitcher-shortstop with the baseball squad during his freshman year but gave up the grid game for the latter two sports during his. final three years. In his senior year, he cocaptained the Shamrocks to a share of the Bristol County League diamond championship and was named to several AllLeague teams. Standing 5-11 and weighing 170 pounds, Brennan was noted more for his defensive ability than his prowess as an offensive performer. A rangy youngster, Ty was brilliant at going into the hole for the backhanded play and was equally as adept at making the play to his left. A strong arm complemented his glove. Brennan has had an excellent baseball background dating back to his pre-high school days. While in high school, he spent' his Summers in the Rhode Island American Legion program as a member or the Fierlet-Korzen (Central Falls) league. In 1967, Ty sparked his team to the runnerup position in the state championships and two

years later guided his mates to the championship. During the latter season, he was selected the all-star shortstop in the New England American Legion Tournament in Keene, N. H. Math Major As a high school senior, Ty was the recipient of the Monsignor Shay Trophy, as the outstanding student-athlete in the Bishop Feehan graduating class. He was also awarded the Southeastern Massachusetts Umpires Bristol County Sportsmanship Award and the MVP trophy in the Fierlet-Korzen Legion program in 1968. Ty is one of five Brennan
youngsters and the only boy. Maureen is married and works for the Lahey Clinic Staff in Boston, Judy 'is a graduate student at Indiana University and Sheila is a senior at Emmanuel College in Boston. Terry is a junior at Bishop Feehan. The Brennans are communicants of St. Mary's Parish in North Attleboro. A mathematics major, Brennan hopes to do graduate work in business following his graduation from Holy Cross.

Sex Education
louisiana Diocesan 'Superintendent Says Parents Have Right, Responsibility LAFAYETTE (NC) - The superintendent of Lafayette diocesan schools told a legislative investigating committee there are no sex education programs in the Catholic school system, and none are planned for the ncar future. The legislators arc holding hearings throughout the state to determine the extent of sex education in schools, both public and private. Msgr. Richard Mouton, diocesan schools superintendent, said the Catholic board of education has been researching the sex education problem, but has yet to find a satisfactory program. He said the board, feels strongly that "parents have the right and responsibili~y" for sex education.
"While theirs is the primary rseponsibility, they may wish to share it with school. They may not. We believe that our schools should be sensitive to the wishes of the parents in this regard," Msgr. Mouton said. "At the pre'sent, no so-called sex education program is allowed in the schools of the diocese without the review of it and approval by the diocesan school board. "If a program is ever judged appropriate and satisfactory it will, in all probabilty be placed in the context of the religion class. At the present time there is no great evidence that a program will be forthcoming in the near future," Msgr. Mouton said.
