Instruction to Bible Scholars Po!;itive, Encouraging Document ROME (NC)-The recent in strucHon issued by the Ponti fical Commission for Biblical Studies calling on Catholic scholars to apply both traditional and :modern means of scholar ship 1:0 discover the full meaning and significance of Revelation is a "positive and encouraging docwnent." This is the opinion of one of Rom<2's foremost Biblical schol ars, :~ather Roderick Mackenzie, S.J., rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. TIle tall, thin, gray-haired Canndian Jesuit said the docu ment is of particular importanee for 1ne development o,f Biblical studies because "it is the first time an official document issued by ;1 commission 01 the Holy See almost sketches out the his tory ,of the formation of the Gospels;" Father Mackenzie explained that the instruction deals speci ficaUy ''with the three stages of the development ot the Gospels. Fint, what Christ said and did. Secondly, how the Apostles rep resE,nted this to fit the conditions of the listeners of the time. And thirdly, how the Evangelists re_
First Fridians
produced this for their readers." The Jesuit scholar said the in struction, while defending com pletely the divine inspiratioD of the Gospels, nevertheless rec ognizes that the Gospels were not written as "pure history" or flat reporting of facts. Instead, he pointed out that the commission's document stressed that the Evangelists in writing their accounts had cer tain goals in mind and chose the elements of Christ's life and ac tions according to the goal they had in mind, suiting them to the capacities of the people they were writing for. "The Gospels preached, as the instruction says," stated Father Mackenzie. "The Gospels are highly functional. They were written to ,be, used, not simply to be read passively as straight history." Therefore, Father MacKenzie continued, the instruction urges Catholic scholars of the Bible to use not only the traditional methods of Biblical scholarship but also to employ all that is good m modern techniques such as literary ~riticism, language analysis, the findings of arche olQgy and comparative studies with other writings of approx imately the same periods.

Urges' New View Of Protestants
"LARAMIE (NC)-College graduates of 1964 should have "a passion for justice aiId a willingness to get in volved to promote justice," a t:atholic educator told University of Wyoming gradu.ates here. Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, e.s.c·., president of Notre Dame University, urged in his com mencement address that gradu ates "see that justice becomes a reality £Or everyone in our d'ay, but especially £Or the poor and oppressed." ."Would you settle' for justice for your grandchildren, or do YQU . want justice' for yourself today?" he asked. "If you were caught in the 'web of poor education, lack of eco nomic opportunity, the last hired and the first fired even for men ial jobs, poor housing and de grading neighborhoods, shamed a dozen· times a day because whatever your quality as a per son you could not eat or rest or sleep where others can, if this were your lot, would you -:ry 'freedom now?' And would you consider this' impatience if your ory came a hundred years' after y()U had been declared free?"
$210,000 Grant To Notre Da'me NOTRE DAME (NC) - The University of Notre Dame has reCeived $210,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation to help underwrite Latin American re search and training programs i1\ the social sciences and human ities.

He said the new grant "wilt enable us to make genuineprog- . ress in Latin American affairs, an area in which Notre Dame has a special interest and com petence." The grant, he explained, will enable the university over a three-year period to strengthen its faculty and to provide for scholar exchanges with Latin America.

. Urges Acc·ept~.nce ~f .Thanksgiving As Catholic Liturgical Feast WASHINGTON (NC) - A Fl'anciscan priest ha~ urged ac., ceptance of Thanksgiving Day as.a Oatholic liturgical feast and has propo~ed a Mass text for the occasion. The text 'and the .article by Father Neil J. O'Connell, O.F·.M.,
appears in the Summer issue of
Interest, a magazine published
. by the Franciscan Holy Name College here. Fat her O'Connell declares there is' "no doubt" American Catholics would welcome the liturgical celebration of Thanks giving. Quasi-liturgical services have already been used in some Catholic churches, he says, but adds .that pastors have found themselves handicapped by lack of any official approval. Last November, Auxiliary Bishop Charles R. Mulrooney of Brooklyn suggested m a kin g Thanksgiving day a holy day of obligation for American Catho lics. Asks Recognition "Thanksgiving Day is no long_ er an observance 'of merely local importance, and a liturgi cal recognition of it could find universal acceptance," writes Father O'CDnnell. He notes that Brazil, Cuba, Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, Basutoland and the
Philippines have already ac cepted the last Thursday in
November ('the day fixed by
Abraham Lincoln for the United
States) as a national day' of
thanksgiving, while several

For his Mass text, Father
O'Connell takes the Gospel ac
count from S1. John's descrip
. tion of the multiplication of the
loaves and fishes. It tells how
Christ "took the ·loaves, and when He had given' than)cs, dis. tributed them to those rel:1in ing·· ." Text for Office The Epistle is taken from St. Paul's letter to the Colossians, urging the Christian community to love and forgive each' other. st. Paul says: "Whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giv_ ing thanks to God the Father through Him." The Introit, or entrance song, is taken' by' Father O'Connell from Psalm 99: "Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving, His courts with praise; give thanks to Him; bless His name, for the Lord is good." ,Father O'Connell also pro posed a text for the divine office on Thanksgiving Day. The
Ma'tins tex..ts, taken largely from
the Book of Leviticus, recount
how Old Testament priests were instructed to give thanks to the Lord with offerings of food in return of His. protection during.
their flight from Egypt.

CORK (NC )-Bishop Corne lius Lucey of Cork has appealed to Irish Catholics to view their Protestant neighbors 'as Irish men like ot!rselves." Speaking at a Confirmation service in Shull, he indicated that because of the English oc cupation, Irish history presents special difficulties ·for the ecu menical movement. "In Ireland, the Protestant is associated· in Catholic eyes with the dark past of t~e ascendancy and penal times," he said.. "Our immediate contribution' to the ecumenical movemerit should be to forget the past and see Dur Protestant neighbors, not as descendants of landlords, planters and the rest, but as Irishmen like ourselves, differ ing from us in reli~ion, but not 100 per cent or even 50 per cent different."

Suggests Mental Exercise For Teen-ager in Summer
ExamineStudents Next Thursday For Seminary
,~?
By order of His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop, an examination for college students desirous of study
By Joseph T. McGloin, SJ. Come Summer vacation, school is happily forgotten for three months, and some aspiring students try to forget all they've learned in the past months and years. Now there are, of course, times when a human being has to rest his mind as well as everything how. Yo~'d show a lot more else he has. But the switch character, though, if you'd accept here is that, while you can the challenge and set out to con turn off voluntarY physical quer' this subject this SummAr activity, your mind simply can't be turned off, except in sleep and maybe not even then. The mind gets its rest not so much' by shutting it off, but by changing its oc cupation. Now it's true that everyone, teen-agers in cluded, m u s t rest the mind periodically, or rather divert it. But three month's inactivity out of every 12 would be an awful lot no matter how you look at it. Barnacle Job If a person somehow made his healthy body inoperative for that long a time, he'd turn into a boneless bowl of blubber. And yet, some teen-agers catapulting themselves out of school in June, seem to think that they're sup epesed to force their minds to lie around doing nothing until Sep tember. The teen-ager who succeeds in shutting "lff his intellect for this three-month period will rome to school in the Fall with about a three-month barnacle job to be done. Sometimes, they never do get scraped off. In order to understand the tragedy of a complete three months' vacation from thought, go back to a few fundamental ideas about your intellect itself. Learning, in case you haven't discovered it yet, is not just a chore, not just something you're forced into by your parents (who like to push you around), or your teachers (who need the work). Worth Bleedin&" It should be added that one of the signs most indicative of )l}aturity comes when Junior _ turns the corner and discovers that learning, even when diffi cult, is worthwhile in itself and can even be thrilling on occasion. He's always known that "know ledge maketh a bloody entrance," but now, with maturity, he knows its worth some bleeding. Some teen-agers sometimes do quite a bit of shouting that no body trusts them or gives them any responsibility. The Summer is their answer. Here's all the responsibility they need - and maybe more than they can han dle. If they can't call up the min imum discipline required to make some use of their Summer, then they won't be able to carry any other responsibility either-. Set Out to Conquer But let's be practical and see some of the mental exercises possible in your Summer. It's possible there was some subject -at least one-you were not perfect in during the past school year. You can, of course, recognize this weakness and just let it go at that; telling yourself you'll never use that subject again any-

rather than playing the coward and letting it whip you. Maybe you did only fairly well in so many subjects you'd be revolted at the thoug::tt of going back over any of them.

Archbishop Cody Asserts Catholic Schools Flourish
FAIRVIEW (NC)-Parlez vous Francais? Or Deutsch?
Or Espanol? Maybe not. But the children at St. John the Baptist Grammar School in Fairview, New Jersey do, and Bine other languages besides. They don't all speak 12 lan guages, but according to students have come from Egypt, Father Charles H. McTague, Cuba, Venezuela, Guatemala, "the average student speaks Mexico and Tibet. Father McTague credits the three languages with many speaking six or seven." Even more unusual fs the choice of languages. Latin, French, and Spanish are taught as part of the curriculum and Greek, Rlissian, Arabic, Armen ian, German, Chinese, Portu guese, Italian and Hebrew are electives. The latter are taught after school, at lunch recess and on Saturdays. Courses in Arabic St. John's is one of six schools In the U. S. below college level effering courses in Arabic. The .thers are all high schools. In eentives to study foreign lan §Uages are everywhere. Walk up • a vending machine and put in a nickel and you get a candy bar with a set of lessons cards. Walk into a classroom and you are liable to find a student working on a Hebrew typewirter, - one of several foreign language machines to help the students. In another 'room you may find students rehearsing a play or songs in Chinese. Outside, a group of students might be on bheir way with Father McTague to sing songs in Arabic to shut ins. Native-Born Teacher The program began in 1958 when St. John's opened its par ish doors to Hungarian refugees. Hungarian children were enrol led in the school and the lang uage program was born. St. John's has relied mostly on native-born teachers for each language rather than on record ing machines. Teachers have in cluded exchange students living in the area, a rabbi, a Greek priest and others. United Nations personnel have sent their children there. Other

Wattendorf denied he refused 110 rent the apartment because of eolor. He said Mrs. Williams' stated income was insufficient 110 meet the rent.

Gets $2 Million
ST. MARY'S COLLEGE (NC) -Two gifts totaling $2,000,000 have been made to the Century II Fund of St. Mary's College here. One gift of $1,500,000 came from an anonymous donor to permit the college to embark on its second century of service debt free. 'Dbe West Coast prov ince of the Christian Brothers pledge the other $500,000. The goal of the drive is $6 mil lion by 1966 with a long-range total of $11,000,000 for the dec ade. Nearly half of the sum will be used for academic enrichment which includes faculty ..l!ll'i~ and aoholanbipa.
NEW ORLEANS (NC) Archbishop John P. Cody said here Catholic education has never flourished as it is today and his archdiocese is planning a major school expan sion program. . Seven new high schools are planned, said' the prelate, who is about to begin his third year as !\dministrator of the 600,000 member archdiocese. He said that during the past year alone facilities valued It more than $3.5 million were put into use for Catholic education, 14 new parishes have been start ed since 1961 and each will have its own elementary school and expansion of numerous existing schools is under way. The Archbishop, noting critic ism of Catholic schooling, said that confusion has been created by "some unfortunate statements made by some individuals." 'People Desirous' "I'n my opinion," he said, "it was never so flourishing, nor were our Catholic people so de sirous of increasing the number of schools and improving the methods of teaching." Catholic education' here has boomed despite some difficul;y immediately after racial inte gration in September, 1962, and despite organized efforts by seg regationists to get Catholics to boycott Catholic schools and Sunday church collections. In one of the two spots in the archdiocese where there were demonstrations after integration, the school is now running nor mally. But in another, the gcn"cl is still closed, hampered by eivn authorities.
success of the program to Msgr. Richard P. O'Brien, who first made the Hungarians welcome and then encouraged the lan guage program. Its purpose, ac cording to Father McTague, is to help spread a love for other peoples and an appreciation of their culture, and to improve the education of the children at St. John's.
Ask Immigation Law Revision WASHINGTON (NC)-Anoth er appeal for liberalization of U. S. immigration laws, includ ing revision of the controversial national origins quota system, has been made in the House of Representatives. New legislation for this pur pose was introduced by Rep. John V. Lindsay of New York and several other congressmen. Sim ilar bills have been introduced periodically in both houses of Congress but none has been passed. Lindsay said present U. S. im migration policies reflect "xen ophobia" and "unnecessary ri gidity." He particularly attacked the national origins quota sys tem, calling it "a source of pain and shame." Under the national origins sys tem, relatively large immigra tion quotas are allotted to north ern European countries and rel atively small quotas to countries of southern and easterp Europe and to non-western nations. Expand Quotas Lindsay said his bill (H. R. 11446) would revise the system by expanding the number of quotas to about 300,000 yearly, compared with the present 150, 000, and allocating them in pro portion to actual immigration into the U. S. betweel1l 1920 and the date of enactment of the bill. Unused quotas would go into a pool for distribution on a first-come first-served basis. Another provision would seek to aid refugees by authorizing 20,000 special refugee visas for a two-year period. The measure would also permit the secretary of state to make grants to U. S. public and private' agencies for refugee resettlement.

Asks Christians Accept Personal Mission to Relieve Suffering WASHINGTON (NC) - A Catholic lay leader said here that the Christian today must accept a "personal mission" to relieve human suffering and bring Christ to the world. Martin H. Work, executive di rector of the National Council of Catholic Men, declared that for the Christian "every man for whom Christ died is my neighbor and, therefore, some one to whom I cannot be indif ferent." VVork, speaking 'Sunday- at commencement exercises of Dunbarton College, said the problems of human suffering and injustice "require not only

In a talk of great significance, Pope Paul told business men and all society to put an end to attitudes that oppose eapital to labor, priv'ate profit to public good, the class con eept to the organic concept of society, private economy to :p~blic, individual initiative to state planning, national self sufficiency to the international market, "in a word-private advantage to the advantage of human brotherhood." , Praising the great contribution of business and industry in laying the material foundation for, a better life for all' men, the Pope urged acceptance of new values, Christian values, into the old and settled ways of looking at things. Pope Paul is extending the idea set forth by both Pope Pius XII and Pope John XXIII-that society is one, that all elements of society are not rivals or competitors but partners in a common venture, that Christian principles demand not exploitation of one element by the other but the harmonious working together of all elements for the eommon good. It is high time that every element in'society abandoned the either-or concept, the idea that there is an opposition between capital arid labor, for example, or individual plan ning and state, planning. The "either,.or" idea must yield to the "both'; concept. This is the Christian way and the way that opens up a whole new field Of cooperation and brotherhood and unified society. This concept is not a new one. But it is well that men and nations hear this insisted upon again and again from the very highest author~ty so that they feel impelled to make an effort to introduce, it into their own' thinking and into their own plans of action

The notion that "creation is full of expectancy" (First Reading) is one of the ideas that sets Christianity apart fro m non-revealed, natural, philosc,phical religions. The lat ter ha\'e been marked by a fatal ism about time and the world and material things which shrugs at human progress and finds !;alvation in a flight from matter. The Christian, on the other hand, sees all of creation as an instrument of God embodying His plLrposes, going not round and-round but straight (with crooked lines) toward the ulti mate kingdom of heaven. With all of our recognition of the reality of evil, we are not pessi mists, basically, in our attitude toward the here-and-now, but eptimists in a profound sense.

"As ,always happens' in these turbulent times, the Church is also passing through a big crisis. )t has opened the eyes of many and will, I think, put many on the right path again. Pray and pray much for us." The bishop is attacking the various problems that face his diocese. One of the principal problems is that of vocations. Brazil uses Portuguese and thus loses out on the high number of priests (7,000) who have come from Spain to Latin America. Brazil has the fewest number of priests per population in South America. For example, in t1:le United States each priest has to WEDNESDAY - st. Gregory care for 780 Catholics. Thus in Barbarigo, Bishop, Confessor. a city of 100,000, there are about Whatever other meanings we 125 priests.

Have you room 'a child? Not in your house, but in your heart? If your an~wer is yes, you'll be interested in the Foster P al"ents Mission Club, a Catholicorganiza tion aiding needy foreign orphans. Organized under the direction of Rev. Nicholas Maes trini of the Pontifical Institute for ForeignMissiot:ts, with headquarters in Detroit, the club cares for waifs in Pakis . tan, India and Burma. There ~. i' :.::\: ~._: : is no thought of bringing ,,£ children to this country. The youngsters, ranging in age from infancy to late teens, are for the most part sheltered in orphan ages staffed by the missionaries of the Pontifical Institute. "Where there are no mission aries," says Father Maestrini, "these children often die'" '" '" or are killed. They are our brothers in Christ, with no one to claim or care for them. By educating them and helping them to un derstand Christian and demo cratic principles, the mission aries are preparing them not only to make a decent living but to be leaders in the fight against Communism." Small Cost The Foster Parents Mission Club is the lowest-cost sUch plan in' operation anywhere. Members pay $5 yearly for op erating expenses and $5 monthly for food, clothing, shelter and education of an orphan. The cost is low, explains Father Maes trini, because of lower living standards in the foreign lands involved~nd also because vol unters do most of the office work involved in Foster Parents. Among new and proud foster parents are Dr. and Mrs. John :K Manning of Sacred Heart p;lri;;h, Fall River and the Misses JdJian and Claire Morrissette, St. Michael's parish; . Ocean Gruve. Iodala Joji, four years old, of Mallaram, India, is the Man ning's new son, described as a "good and shy boy from a poor family.'! The priest who sent his name and picture to Foster Par_ ents says of the inhabitants of Mallaram, "all are pariah; starv ing often; living in huts made of' mud, and straw; in the less healthy place of the village, often sick; a hard life." . Pariahs are also known as Un touchables and are the lowest class of Indians, not even con-: sidered to exist by the law. They get only the jobs no one else will do and have almost no oppor tunity for education or to rise beyond their caste. Things will be a little different for Iadala now. however. New HoPe There's new hope too for Lou_ Isa Topno, 10, of Benedwar, East Pakistan and Sourammil Kopula, 7, of St. Joseph's Insti tution, Andhra Pradesh, India. Louisa has been adopted by Miss Lillian Morrissette and Souram DWl by her sister Claire. "Many people wonder how we ean support a child for $5 a month," say officials of the Foster Parents plan. "We do not run paid advertisements. Stories in magazines, film showings and word-of-mouth are our only publicity. The children are all in orphanages run by priests and Sisters who are not paid for their work. We ask $5 a year for the stationery, mailings, adop tion certificates, etc., but the other $60 per year is all sent to your child and fully feeds, clothes and educates him." Since 1958 over 1,600 children have been adopted through the Mission ClUb, but 4,000 are still hoping for foster families. Par ents receive a certificate of "spiritual adoption," a picture and a short history of their new son or daughter. Thereafter newsletters keep'them posted on the child's welfare and' events at his orphanage.

But at the end of 1963, the Tagum parish still had 35,000 persons in it. "When we first arrived here," said the Mary knoUer, explaining the mathe matical puzzle, "about 5,000 set . tIers would move in each month. Now, maybe 1,000 a month come here." In the meanwhile, the Nabun turan parish was also going through the same process of creating new parishes. "We can keep on dividing them," said Bishop Regan, "as soon as we get more priests."

English Work for Canonization Of 40 Martyrs Within Year LONDON (NC) - English Catholics are making a big ef fort to have the Forty Martyrs, beatified heroes and heroines of the English Reformation, canon ized within a year. The Archbishop gave the news in an address when he opened the rebuilt shrine chapel of the English Martyrs close to the site of Tyburn, scene of public executions, and now one of the busiest road junctions of Lon don's West End. Archbishop HeeI).an said some think it unwise at this time to revive bitter' memories by em phasizing the suffering of the martyrs. "I understand their fears; yet the canonization itself could greatly help the cause' of ecumenism," he declared. "Now nobod)'" Ba)'"lil aU Cath~
lies were wonderful in penal times and the Protestants were wicked men and women. On both sides people gave their lives for what they believed to be true. I pray that this approach to the Holy See may be success ful and that we may rejoice in the canonization." Only two miracles are required for the canonization of all 40 and it is understood that two appar ent miracles are now being con_ sidered in Rome. Father Paul Molinari, S.J., postulator of the Martyrs' cause in Rome, attend ed the opening of the shrine. He told the Catholic Herald: "I am hopeful that the canonization will take place this year. But there is still much to be done and much prayer is needed-ea: pecially now:" " , , '.

It is good for children to learn
at an early age the meaning of

Government Rejects Requ'est
To Honor St. Thoma!; More
LONDON (NC) - The British government refused in the House of Commons to honor one of Parliament's greatest figures, St. Thomas More, Lord Chancel lor of England, who was canon ized 21 years ago as the "Martyr of the Papacy." . Government MInister Selwyn Lloyd, himself a successor to St Thomas as Chancellor of the Exchequer, rejected a request to erect a plaque in Westminster Hall noting that St. Thomas worked there as Lord Chancel lor and was tried there and sen tenced to death. Hugh Delargy, a Catholic
member oJ: the opposition Labor party, asked Lloyd to appoint a committee to consider the mat ter. Lloyd, who has the title of Lord Privy Seal and is responsi_ ble for royal palaces including Westminster Hall, refused. Another Lab 0 r member, Charles Pannell, jumped to his feet. "All of Ull who are not Catholics but have any sense of history would lik,~ to see Sir Thomas More commemorated," he said, adding that the subject had been raised when the late Richard Stokes, a Catholic, was Minister of Works ~iome 14 years ago.

establisped beachheads, a visit ing prelate said here. Coadjutor Archbishop Teopisto V. Alberto of Naga City said the problem lies not so much in conversion of non-Catholics but in preserving the Faith despite a critical shortage of priests in the predominantly Oatholic country. . In Naga City, he said, there is about one priest for about 10,000 Catholics. Priests who teach in seminaries and are assigned to other duties during the week are pressed into service for Sunday Masses in the missions which have no resident pastors, he said. Vocation Potential The Archbishop said the prospects are "bright" since nearly every diocese in the Phil ippines has a minor seminary. He said the vocation potential promises a sufficiency of priests, but that resources are lacking. The prelate assured that in the struggle against communism the people of the Philippines can be trusted. There is a fear ot com munism among Filipinos, "not so much from within as aggres sion from without," he said. The Archbishop said the terror ex perienced by tile Filipinos dur ing World War II made them God fearing and they are "sold on the doctrine 'of democracy."

"It is a part of your business to find out 'the facts' and to give us thes~; but it is the very heart of your vocation to be the ser vant of the truth," Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh told del egates to the 54th annual nation al covention of the Catholic Press Association. There is a sharp distinction between "the facts" and "the truth," the Bishop declared in a keynote address to Catholic journalists from all parts of the United States and Canada. Fact-Happy Civilization "So, though we are grateful to you for the facts you turn up and transmit," Bishop Wright told the Catholic editors and publishers, "nonetheless in a civilization that is 'fact-happy' and indifferent to truth, we de pend on you to defend the hu man character of society by serving the truth that is a ce ment to all its values, indeeds its soul, as against the mere 'facts' than can so fragment it as to turn the human society into an insect world_in Marrou's vivid phrase-an ant-heap civilization • • • a city of termites."

Sister Marie Augusta, chair man of the sociology department at Emmanuel College here, said in a talk that understanding can't be learned from textbooks, for it is "grounded in our atti tudes, emotions and habit pat terns."

'Uncanonized Patron' (Antoine - Frederic Ozanam, 19th century French layman who founded the St. Vincent de Paul Society, was a prolific author who wrote many works in de fense of the Faith. He died in Marseilles in 1853 at ·the age of. 40.) The Bishop expressed the hope that Ozanam might be "the in spiration, the 'uncanonized pa tron,' of the growing number of apostolic laymen who are so fortunately echoing Christ and the truth in contemporary pub lishing."
COOL VALLEY (NC) Motorists passing our Lady <;)f Guadalupe church in this St. Louis suburb have some thing new to look at these days -a liturgical billboard. The "billboard" was the joint idea of Father Francis J. Kelly, pastor of the church, and Brother Matthew Gallagher, O.S.F., who does the art work. Currently on display is a six-by nine oil painting of the parish's patron, overlooking a road heavily traveled by commuters. Prior to this, a painting of a Nativity scene was on display for motorists. The present paint ing will soon be replaced by a picture of Christ the Good Shepherd.
Open Education· Exhibit at Fa'ir NEW YORK (NC)-An ex hibit stressing the role of Catholic education in this coun try was formally opened after dedication of the Hall of Edu cation at the New York World's Fair. Archbishop John P. Cody told a dedication audience that "we hope the vast American audi ence will come to know and un derstand our purpose in under taking to provide the enormous Catholic educational system which is found in the 50 states." The Archbishop, Apostolic Administrator of New Orleans, is president general of the Na tional Catholic Educational As sociation, sponsor of the 300 square-foot exhibit featuring motion pictures,charts, photo graphs and publications. In the same pavilion is a 100 square-foot exhibit by the Con fraternity of Christian Doctrine. It features color slides explain ing the work of the agency, which is charged with the reli gious education of Catholics out side Catholic schools. Have Vital Function The multi-exhibitor pavilion features a "School of Tomorrow" and demonstration classes, some of which will be drawn from Catholic schools in the New York area. Archbishop Cody said Catho lics feel their schools "perform a vital function in our democra cy;" their objectives are to pro duce "physically fit Americans, learned Americans, socially co operative Americans, civic minded Americans, economically competent Americans and most important of all, spiritu~l' and virtuous Americans."

Economist Asks For School Aid . WASHINGTON (NC) ....,. The Committee wound up seven, weeks of hear ings on constitutional' amend ments to permit prayers in pub lic schools with a plea from a DePaul University economist for broad Federal aid for all kinds of religious instruction.

of St. Thomas More Stimulating, Refreshing
God Love You By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, D.D. Does not a letter like this make us ashamed? Read It and see if you are willing to give in proportion to this boy! "I am a new convert to the ChurClh and I am very proud to be a Catholic. It has been my dream for a long time. Now that I am a Catholic, I feel many responsibilities toward the poor Oatholics of the world. I am only 15 years old, and I also feel the pain of being poor, but not in the same way as the people you mention in your columns. My worries are small compared to those in Asia and Africa who worry about having no church to go to Mass in, while many (as do I) go to Mass in a huge cathedral. Or who , don't have medicine, while many Americans spend a fortune on reducing pills.
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S.ltennedy The interest in St. Thomas More generated by Robert Bolt's play A Man for All Seasons, which drew packed houses for so long on Broadway and is still being done by road companies, should prompt many people to read The Trial of St. Thomas More by E.

Tower Hill, July 6, 1535. Still, there are glimpses of the great life which was climaxed by a her 0 i c death, and the singularly noble and appealing eharacter of the • a n s h in e s forth. This is not, then a technical study, but a book with general appeal. . The first 30 pages or so are devoted to a discussion of the documents dealing with More's career: the earlier and later biographies, the discoveries in our own time, the extant records. With the third chapter, there begins cortsideration of the case contrived against More, and the aistorical and legislative background of this. Henry VIII, who had made More his Lord Chancellor (the first layman ever to QCcupy that office), was intent on having his own marriage with Katherme of Aragon declared null, and . . marrying Anne Boleyn. Act of Succession When Rome turned down his plea for a declaration of nullity, he broke away from the pope ~d set himself up as head of the Church of England. Three acts which he put through Parliament in this connection were the grounds for More's eonviction and execution. The first was the Act of Succession, passed in 1534. This determined the order in which Henry's heirs would come to the throne. It was .required that Henry's subjects take an oath to support its provisions. There might seem to be little reason why anyone would refuse an oath connected with the order ef succession. What matter of conscience could be involved in anything of the sort? Such was, indeed, the impression or attitude of almost everyone in the realm. The clergy, for example, took the oath alf. most to a man. Among the bishops only St. John Fisher stood out in exception. And More was as solitary in refusal among the leading laity. Why did he not conform? Toward Complete Break Because, in this law, Henry did far more than simply define the line of succession. One historian has called the act "a treatise on' canon law/' It at least implicity denied the pope's right kl grant dispensation in marriage cases and thus rejected his authority. It took away the right to -appeal to R'ome, and also invested Parliament with the right to make canon law. More recognized· all this, as few others did, and saw in it the first steps- toward a complete break with Rome and a repudiation of the authority of the Church UniV'!rsal. He refused the oath. His refusal sat ill with the king, who wanted unanimous conformity and was especially anxious that a man of More's prominence and prestige should submit, lending the weight of his name to what the king was doine;.

Clergymen March to Protest Anti-Fair Housing Bill SAN FRANCISCO - Ninety priests, ministers and ra'bbis marched for 30 minutes up Mar_ ket Street here to protest a cam paign in the state to kill a new fair housing law. The clergymen, attracting rel_ atively little attention, walked to the Civic Center where they were met by Howard Jewel, as sistant state attorney general, who told them: "We've been waiting for you to join this fight." The clergymen said they think defeat of the 1963 Rumford Fair Housing Act will make Califor-
Asserts Nuclear War Immoral MENLO PARK (NC) -Few Catholics moralists would con tend today that a nuclear ·war wuld be a just war,. Bishop Robert Dwyer of Reno declared here.' Speaking at a seminar on ethics and foreign policy, the Nevada prela,te said the prin ciple of the just war-fought by a sovereign authority for a just cause with the right intention is still valid. "But principles may remain inviolate and intact whose appli cation becomes increasingly aca demic or 'even unthinkable," he said. Bishop Dwyer recalled that both Pope Pius XII and Pope John XXIII had "stigmatized modern warfare as inhumane," "lthough he noted neither Pon tiff made a definitive sta,tement &n the subject. Bishop Dwyer told the semi nar that the greatest. obstaclf;! to peace in the modern world His the blind refusal of so large • segment of humanity to be lieve that peace is either feasi 'ble or possible."
Superiors of Men To Meet June 30· DENVER (NC) - The four-. day annual conference of Major Superiors of Men's Institutes of the United States of America (CMSM) is scheduled to start Tuesday, July 30 at'St. Thomas Seminary here.

Speakers are: Father Aelred Tegels, O.S.B., professor of theology, St. '.John's University, Collegeville, Minn.; Father George H. Tavard, A.A., professor _ of theology, Mount Mercy College, Pitts burgh, and Father Clement J. McNaspy, S.J., of America mag azine, New York.

nia "a segregationist stale". After 25 Years At the Civic Center, the cler gyman, Jewel Wiley Manuel, a Negro deputy attorney gen eral, knelt and joined in prayer. Jewel praised the group and other religious organizations op posing the anti-fair housing drive, but he said: "I' have been. waiting 25 years for you to prove that religion in America doesn't end after Sunday morn ing services." Opposition to the fair housing act is beIng led by the Califor nia Real Estate Board. . The realtors are circulating petitions for signatures to place on the California ballot, either in June or November, a con stitutional amendment which would deny the state any au thority to intervene in the sell ing, leasing or renting of real property. 'Shame, Disgrace' The Rumford Act prohibits discrimination in housing sales or rental on the .basis of race, color, religion, national orgin or ancestry. In another action, leaders of the EI Camino Conference on Religion and Race, representing churches and synagogues in Santa Clara and southern San Mateo counties, said the real tors' drive is "contrary to all precepts of Judeo-Christian' ethics and morals." . Passage of the proposed con stitutional amendment, they said, "would be a shame and disgrac;e to all those professing belief in :the" Judeo-Christian heritage"-' .

Policy Resolutions Refute Charge Against Unions By Msgr. George G. Higgins It is very fashionable these days in academic circles to .talk to and write about the so-called "crisis" in the American labor movement. By rough count, at least a score of articles, monographs, and books have been written on this subject during the past forces of the market place for two or three years. Curiously full emplo-y·ment, full production enough, their authors, by and effective use of our re and large, belong to what sources to meet our most urgent the National Review delights in characterizing as The Liberal Esta bUshment. In other words, most of them are labor econ omists or labor journalists who generally follow the so - called "liberal" point ef view in the field of social and economic reform and un -,. til very recent ly were strong supporters of (and, in some cases, almost apologists for) the labor move ment. Why are these academicians and journalists so much more critical of the labor movement tQday than they were as recent ly as five or six years ago! What has the labor movement done to disillusion them? Patience Runs ThulII There is no simple, cover-all answer to these questions. Each of these writers has his own particular set of grievances against the labor movement. In general, however, they seem to agree among themselves that the labor movement is cur rently facing a serious internal crisis and that this crisis is due, in large measure, to a sense of complacency and a lack of mis sionary zip and zeal on the part of labor's top leadership. The labor movement's patience with this kind of criticism is running very thin, if, indeed, it . hasn't already been completely exhausted. This is understand able, of course-poor old human nature being what it is. Nevertheless, it is somewhat regrettable, for the American labor movement is old enough to expect criticism, even from its past or present. friends and sup porters, and, by this time, should be mature enough to profit from such criticUim or, in any event, to respond to it calmly and un emotionally and with a certain sense of humor. Strong Resolution On the o"1er hand, many of Ilabor's CL"iL1CS - whether con sciously or otherwise-are real ly baiting the labor movement instead of criticizing it construc tively. And some of them, it seems to me, are not keeping up with their homework and, in fact, don't even seem to be read_ ing the big print in labor's cur rent policy statements. Take for example the recur rent charge b3' some of the writers referred to above that the American laoor movement is concerned almost exclusively with so-called bread-and-butte!' issues and is either not aware of or is not seriously interested in the really important problems of our national economy. To some of the above-men tioned writers this means, '.lpeci fically, that the AFL-CIO does not see the need for national economic planning, And yet the 1963 Sonvention of the AFL CIa adopted a very strong pol icy which explicity called for national economic planning and urged the establishment of a National Planning Agency. "'his resolution r ~<.ds, ir part, as follows: "Experience has shown that we cannot rely u.pon the blind
national needs. "Other advanced, free and democratic industrial . nations have found that they can achieve their economic and social objec tives only through a rational na tional economic planning process involving the democratic parti cipation of all segments of their populations together with gov ernment. "We urgE! the creation in the United States of a National Planning Agency, which through similar democratic mechanisms will evaluate our resources and our needs and establish priori ties in the application of re sources to the meeting of needs." Full Employment The same '63 Convention of the AFL-CIO also advocated the establishment of three additional commissions: 1) A Presidential Commission on automation which, in the words of the late President Ken nedy, would "pioneer in the so cial and economic aspects of automation to the same extent that our science and industry have pioneered in its physical aspects "; 2) A Technological Clearing House "to gather information on a continuing basis on technical changes, actual and planned, and their effects upon the welfare of the American people as a basis for programs to assure that the benefits of automation will be realized and its dangers avoided"; 3) A Federal Information and Guidance Service "to assist un ions and employers, upon re quest, in developi..g solutions to the problems created by techno logical change." Official Poliey The policy resolutions in which these and a number of other far-reaching proposals were advocated by the AFL-CIO in December, 1963, are now available in booklet form ("Pol icy Resolutions On Economic Is sues Adopted by Thp. Fifth Con stitutional Convention," AFL CIa, 815 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D. C.). Labor's critics ought to read this booklet very carefully before they rush into print again with the slightly shop-worn charge that the AFL-CIO is hopelessly committed to sO'-called "business unioninsm" and is not concerned" with nationai economic issues. If, after reading the booklet, they disagree with its proposals or if they think that the Federa_ tion is not doing enough to im plement these proposals, well and good. But let them at least have the good grace to acknowledge and· report that these proposals have been made, that they represent official AFLCIO policy, and that they flatly l~ontradict the charge that the American labor move ment is only concerned with so called bread-and-butter issues in the narrowest sense of the word.

Cuban Refugee Resettlement Story of Democracy
'WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Cuban refugee resettlement program has been "a story of dem0et;acy in action that all the world should hear," Senator Philip A. Hart of Michigan said here.

He paid particular tribute to the voluntary relief agencies which have cooperated with the Department of Health, Educa tion and Welfare in" carrying out the program. "~t
is the voluntary agencies and their dedicated representa tives on the scene who are the essential links between the pro grams of government and the humans in need," he declared.

Century of Tufts Baseball Celebrated at Medford
Pope Paul Asks Sports Contain MoraI Forces
By Jack Kineavy Saturday was Alumni Day at Tufts and a special feature of the occasion was the Harvard-Tufts baseball game eommemorative of the lOoth anniversary of the diamond sport at the Medford school. Sad to relate the Jumbos were decisioned by t~eir highly and with pardonable pride we touted adversarIes, 6-4, but might add, did more than a little not before they gave the to continue unbroken the long largely partisan crowd some tradition of baseball. at T~.. thing to cheer about. This was the first and only college game we saw this year and we we r e particu larly impressed with the Har v a r d tea m which has been rated the best in the East Maine and Northeast er n notwithII tan din g . Stylish P a u 1 Del R 0 s s i, a Winchester product with the form of Warren Spahn, racked up victory No. 29 of his varsity career at Hanrard, though the spirited Jumbos conceded him' nothing. As we watched Tom Bilodeau perform at shortstop we recalled a conversation we'd had a couple of weeks ago with Jumpin' Joe Dugan down in Newport, R. I. The former Yankee great who now scouts the area for the Red Sox tabbed Bilodeau a major league fielder who needed only to improve at the plate. Dugan, incidentally, is the man who signed Russ Gibson to a Sox eontract in 1957 and he waxed enthusiastically over Russ' early aeason performance at Seattle. A most interesting capsule history of baseball at Tufts since its inception during the Civil War was authored by HGrold Kaese '33, noted sports e<>lum nist Of the Boston' Globe and himself a varsity third baseman of note in his undergraduate days. Kaese singled out Judge Ken Nash, present Chief Justice of the Circuit Court, as perhaPs the most influential man in Tufts baseball history. Nash coached for 21 years at the Oval after having played in tml majors with Cleveland and St. Louis and to quote Kaese "No Tufts coach ever made a bigger impression on his players than Nash, whose knowl edge of the game, wit, erudition, philosophy" • • • featured his tenure' at Tufts. Among the Post WQr coaches mentioned by Kaese was. Bill Kearns, former Somerset High basketball men tor, who left this area in 1955 to assume the varsity post at Tufts.'
The Jumbos' best clubs in modern times were the '47-'50 editions coached by "Jft" Ricker now assistant headmaster at Medford High. The 1950 team represented New England in the N.C.A.A. championship tourna ment at Omaha, Nebra'ilka. One of the leading players on that ' club was an outfielder by the name of Dudy ,Forbert who, presently is superintendent of schools in Lexington, Mass. War Team Understandably, no mention of baseball in the war years was made, but we have vivid per sonal recolleCtions of the 1943 team that was the Brown and Blue while attending Tufts in the V-12 program. Six of the starters on that club had playe(i varsity ball at Bo'ston College 0'

Lest we get lost In remmlS cence, let's take a quick look at the Eastern Mass. Schoolboy Baseball Tournament hich was scheduled to move mto the quarterfinal round on Monday before the heretofore kindly weatherman intervened. Durfee,' Case and Prevost all survived their initial tests last week, though Dartmouth and Mansfield were among the qualifying round casualties. The Green was edged by Randolph 4-3, while Mission of Roxbury ousted Mansfield by a 9-4 margin. North Attleboro, BeL's second 'entry was erased by Braintree i~ a 5-1 contest. Durfee needed two runs in the ninth to pull out a 4-3 victory over Bay State runnerup Welles ley. This was the Hilltoppers 20th victory in 21 starts, their only setback coming ..t the hands of New Bedford. The Narry tandem, meanwhile, was suc eessful on both points against Old Colony's best, Case logging a 7-4 win over Plymouth and Prevost coming through 8-2 against Hingham. The twin vic 1?ries assure Narry representa tion in the semifinals.

President Urges Clergy to Reawaken
Conscience of America
WASHINGTON (NC) President Johnson, called Up01l religious leaders to "awaken the conscience" of the country in the matter of civil rights. The civil rights bill before Congress "is going to pass if it takes all Summer," because "justice and morality demand it," he told 150 Catholic, Protes tant and Jewish leaders he re ceived in the east room of the White House. But laws and government "are, at best, coarse instruments for remolding social institutions and illuminating the dark places of the human heart," he added. "It is your job - as men of God - to reawaken the con-, science of our beloved' land, the United States of America," he declared." , ' "Inspire and challenge us to put our ptinciples into action," he asked them. The Pre sid e n t spoke after Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of _Washington, as the spokes man for all present, had told him of the Interreligious Convoca tion on Civil Rights held here the night before. Some 7,000 persons overflowed the gym nasium and a hall on the cam pus of Georgetown University to take part in the convocation.
