Reds Try To Use Encyclical To .Compromise Catholic Stand WASHINGTON (NC) A prominent analyst of com munist tactics has warned that the U.S. Reds are of fering the hand of friendship to the Catholic Church. He said they should get "a negative re sponse." Father John F. Cronin, 8.S., assistant director of the 80cial Action Department of the Na tional Catholic Welfare Con ference, made his comment in an interview. ' The Sulpician priest's obser vations were sought after re cent disclosure that communists have bid for invitations to de 'bate on U.8. Catholic college campuses. Father Cronin said the Com munist Party, U.S.A., made a "major reversal of policy" after
issuance of the late Pope John XXIII's encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth) earlier this year. There were earlier indications of a change in the party's atti tude toward the Church, he said, but communists think Pacem in Terris opens the door to "united_ front relations." "The earlier indications," he said, "were the forward-looking attitude of the Church, as shown in the ecumenical council; the willingness of the Holy See to have contacts with communist spokesmen; and the increasing social influence of the Catholic Church here, as shown in the National Conference on Reli gion and Race." Under the direction of Gus Hall, chairman of the party, he said, the communists resolved
to send a letter to Catholic leaders in various cities. "This letter would refer to the e n eye lie a 1, suggesting speakers and debates around the document, around the commu nist position and around the suggestions where the Pope calls for positive contributions," he said. Discussion in Catholic col leges was especially encouraged. He disclosed the Reds already have offered united-front sug gestions to top Catholic leaders, offering to work with them in areas such as race relations, peace and civil rights. "These offers have been re fused," Father Cronin said. He called for "utmost caution" in any contacts with party mem bers. T~ee factors make this necessary, he said. They are: "I) The U.S. Communist party
is not independent, but is totally controlled by *he Communist party, Soviet Union. To the ex tent that high Church authorities find it prudent to discuss cer tain issues with communist powers, these discussions should be held with the real centers of authority in the communist world. "2) The Communist party is actively engaged in seeking to infiltrate power centers here in the United States. Although it is weak at the moment, it could 'do great damage, for example, if it could influence the trend of the movement for racial justice in our nation. If violence were to be substituted for non-violent protest, we could have condi tions approximating civil war. "3) There are two areas of potential social tension here at
the moment. The race problem is already in a high state of tension. The unemployment situation could be a serious social problem if it worsens be yond present levels. Communism thrives in tension situations, and these conditions offer a possi bility of reviving the weak Communist party here. "Communists will seek to misinterpret passages in Pacem in Terris, holding that the Church has removed its objec tions to united-front action. In fact, the encyclical holds that any contacts with communists should be held only by compe tent persons, with the utmost prudence, and subject to eccle siastical authority. All these reasons dictate a negative re sponse to communist offers here in the United States."

Librarians' Convention Sp~akers
Urge Utilization of Mass Media
LOS ANGELES (NC) - "The Library and the Mass Media" was the theme of the Catholic Library Association convention Speakers covered the range of the librarY from the days of eathedral schools to the school of the future. Robert O. Dougan, head of the Henry E. Huntington Library, San Marino, Calif., des eribed the growth of libraries attached to churches, cathedrals and monasteries. Just as these institutions once dominated the lives of medieval 'men, so does mass media influ ence modern men, he said. "How librarians can begin to exploit mass media in a positive manner and bring it within the realm of Christian tradition" .Is the way CLA executive board member Father Redmond A. Burke, C.S.V., described the pur pose and concern of the con vention. Father Burke, director of De Paul Un i v e r sit y Libraries, Chicago, said librarians need to learn to utilize audio visual materials and other mass medi'a techniques for the positive pro gress of Christian education. Still Room for Books Father Gordon Hughes, S.S.J., of St. Augustine High School, New Orleans, said that "mass media will affect the approach to

Urges' Thoughtful' Reading Of 'The Fire 'Next Time'
VATICAN CITY (NC) . The Dean of the Sacred Col lege of Cardinals told Pope Paul VI that. his choice of
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Your reviewer is late in getting around to James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time (Dial. $3.50), which has created such an impression that almost as many Americans are reading it as are reading Hedda Hopper's revelatitms about Hollywood. Mr. Bald Besides, as the author contin win is, of course, the most ued, against his father's wishes, prominent and influential of in high school, and' read ever American Negro authors at more widely, and received from the present time, and here he is pouring out his indignation as to the treatment of his fellow Negroes and his concern for the future of an America which does not promptly effect a radical solu tion of segrega tion. The book consists of two . essays, very dis similarinlength, although entirely similar in sen timents. The first and shorter essay is in the form of a letter to another James Baldwin, the', author's nephew. The younger James is 15 years old, and his uncle is telling him of the wickedness of his white countrymen in condemning the Negro to a ghetto in which it is hoped he will. perish. But the whites, he says, are profoundly shaken as now, at last, the Negro Hi beginning to insist on moving out of that ghetto. 'Terrible Thin&,' "Please try to be clear, dear James," Mr. Baldwin wrifes, "through the storm which rages about your youthful head today, ab<>ut the reality which lies be hind the words acceptance and integration. There is no reason for you to try to become like white people and there is no basis whatever for their imper tinent assumption that they must accept you. "The really terrible thing, old buddy, is that you must accept them. And I mean that very seriously. You must accept them and' accept them with love. For these innocent people' have no other hope." The' second essay recalls the author's own experiences when he was just about his nephew's age. At 14 he lived, or existed, in Harlem. The full force of what it means to be a Negro in the American whitE" world was com ing painfully home to him.' All about him he saw what others were doing to accommo date themselves to dreadful con ditions and steel themselves against surrender to despair. Some were taking to drink or dope, some to vice, some to crime. "In the same way that the girls were destined to gain as much weight as their mothers, the boys, it was clear, would rise no higher than their fathers." Junior Preacher He supposed he had found a way out, or at least an anodyne, in religicn. He did not join the church in which his father preached, because he and his father W2re completely at odds. His fathcr represented to him spineless acccptance of the sub human role for which the whites had cast him. The young Bald win became a junior pt'cacher in another church. This gave him certain privi leges, not the least of which was the privacy which he required for preparing his sermons. And the possibilities wet'e inviting: relative affluence, status, author ity. His faith, however, crumbled in less than a year. Among the reasons was his conviction that tht usual religion of Negroes was taken, in coward ly fashion, from the whites who had put and kept his ancestors in slavery, and imposed on them, or at least induced them to ac cept, a faith in a God who was no more than an aclamantly prejudiced white man invested with divinity. That faith would help to keep the Negro in the place ·"I,~r(' ~he white man wanted him to be.
his Jewish classmates devastat ing criticism of the crude relit gious literature which he had from his church, he began to be skeptical concerning the Bible. The Bible's inspiration, for ex ample. He equated biblical in spiration then, and still does, it " seems, with the transports into which he and others worked themselves up in his ::hurch. For these, and for it, he could feel nothing but contempt. He holds St. Paul responsible for traditional, historic Chris tianity. He contends that St. Paul was an unscrupulous fanat ic who distorted out of ali rec ognition the message of Jesus and it is the Pauline misrepre sentation of the pristine truth which, he says, has come down to us as Christianity. Monstrous Evils The disastrous misprision has led, in his view, to a series of monstrous evils in generation after generation. In the name of Christianity, anything and every thing has been sanctioned which would secure and maintain the power of an elite. At one point he declares, "We human beings now have the power to exterminate ourselves: this seems to be .the entire sum of our achievement. We have taken this journey and arrived at this place in God's name. This, then, is the best that God (the white God) can do." No wonder, then, that Elijah Muhammad and his Black Mus lim movement have such an at traction for at least some Amer ican N e'{roes. They know what white men have done to them in the name of the 'formers' God. They will, in consequence, opt for the black God preached by Elijah. They have seen what Elijah has suc ceeded in accomplishing with Negroes who were on the way to being derelicts, human wreckage. Mr. Baldwin is no follower of, no apologist for the Black Mus lim movement; in fact, he fore sees that he and Elijah will be in strenuous opposition to each other. But he understands the source and the strength of Elijah's ap peal, and he is solemnly warning the white people of America that the wrongs visited upon the Negro must cease forthwith, else an explosion is inevitable. Price of Liberation "The price of the liberation of the white people is the liber ation of the blacks .- the total liberation, in' the cities, in the towns, before the law, and in the mind." And again, "What it comes down to is this if we, who can scarcely be considered a white nation, persist in thinking of ourselves as one, we condemn ourselves, with the truly white nations to sterility and decay, whereas if we could accept our selves as we are, we might bring new life to the Western achieve ments and transform them. The price of this transformation is the unco~ditional freedom of the Negro." The above gives but a skipping notion of the dEmsel~'-packed ar gument-cum-exhortation of this highly charged and generally very moving piece of writing. With some of Mr. Baldwin's ideas-for example, as to the ori gin, development, and record of Christianity, one dis a g l' e e s strongly. But the point is that he conveys what it is like to be a Negro in our society, and he ex plains the nature and the pace of the current drive to change that impossible situation at once and totally. We urgently recom mend a thoughtful reading 0' this book.

New Hampshire Pastor Says Future Pope Offered Mass in Little Church LINCOLN (NC) - Now it's the proud boast of this pictur esque White Mountains com munity P<>pe Paul VI was here! Chief chronicler of the 1951 vi:;it is the Pontiff's hour-long host, Father Edward Guay, pas to:~ of St. Joseph's Church. He's been telling about it and how' the Pope offered Mass in the little wooden church since the weird came that Giovanni Bat ti~ta Cardinal Montini had been elected to the papal throne. "The newly elected Pope could speak neither Eng 1 ish nor French at the time, so what little conversation we had was in LCitin," Father Guay related.

Reading, Prayers in Schools
WASHINGTON (NC)-A res olution which would permit prayers and Bible reading in the nation's public schools has been introduced in the House by Rep. James J. Quillen of Illinois. The measure woul-d offset the U.S. Supreme Court decision ba nning such required practices in the schools. The resolution calls for approval by two-thirds of the Senate and House and ratification by three-fourths of the states. "The Supreme Court's decision is a black mark on the religious life of our country, because I bdieve we ought to have a right to pray 'when we want to pray ar.d where we want to pray and that it should not be unlawful. to read the Bible or talk with God," Quillen said.
20,000 Messages VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Papal Secretariat of State has received more than 20,000 letters, cables and f\ther messages of congratulation of the election of Pope Paul VI. Vatican Radio said they came from all parts of. the world and from people in ever¥ walk of life.
it," the pastor added. "He thanked me 'for the privilege of celebrating Mass here and left shortly after that. He wanted to do it in a leisurely and un official way - and he did an awful lot of driving and sight seeing while he was here." Leisurely Visit This happened during the 1951 leisurely three-week visit to the United States and Canada of the Pope, who then was Msgr. Mon tini, Substitute Papal Secretary of State. The Pontiff made a later, more hurried and more formal visit to the U.S. in 1960 when he was the Cardinal-Arch bishop of Milan. The pastor related that Msgr. Montini and his party stayed only l<>ng enough to offer the Mass. "I offered the group breakfast," Father Guay said, "but they said they were in a hurry to keep an appointment or something. They thanked me and went on their way."
the name Paul seemed !-ike the "declaration of a program.". Eugene Cardinal Tisserant made the remark during the third obedience, or pledge of loyalty, which, is given to a new pontiff according to custom on the day after his election. Two earlier obediences were made the day of the election. Cardinal Tisserant was of fering - also according to cus t<>m - the good wishes of the cardinals on the eve of the feast of the Pope's baptismal patron, St. John Baptist. "You gave us great pleasure,· Cardinal Tisserant said, "in the choice of the name· Paul. "It appeared immediately to us as the declaration of a pro gram. "The epistle of yesterday" Mass of the Sacred Heart offered to us the human and real words of the great Apostle (Paul): 'To me, the. very least of all saints, there was given this grace, to announce among the Gentiles the good tidings of the unfatho mable riches of Christ.' 'Boundless Dedication' "I thought then that Your Hot iness, taking over the new task of Servant of the Servants of God, saw with joy the riches oi whieh you had become adminis trator, the riches which the Church has at its disposal: the doctrine which reveals to all t~ many-faceted wisd<>m of God, the means which allow men of good will to app'roach Him wiiil confidence. "We are ready, Most Blessed Father - the cardinals residem in Rome and the cardinals scat tered among the five continente, all united with the Chair oi Peter and with Your person to obey and collaborate truly in the designs of Your Holiness. Today's tribute of good wishes is meant to convey our bound less dedication. Most Blessed Father, a long and happy life!"

European Movies Franciscan Missionaries. of Mary Serve God Less Dangerous . In. School, Parishes, Home for Women Than American ST. LOUIS (NC) - One ef the country's top Catholie film critics suggested here that earthy foreign movies pose fewer moral problems. that eome 0 s ten sib I y innocuous Hollywood products. "Whenever the deleterious effects of movies become the tGpic of conversation, an inor 4linate amount of emphasis is placed upon the 'gamy' European bnports," noted Moira Walsh, film critic for America magazine, and longtime reviewer for the National Legion of Decency. But, she added, "as far as 1 em concerned, the potentially most dangerous films are made almost exclusively in Holly wood. They are the ones skill fully: tailored to appeal to teen agers and giving tacit, uncritical approval to contemporary teen age mores." Miss Walsh said the harmful effects of these Hollywood films are "frequently unrecognized by the better-films-council type of movie previewer, as well as by legislators demanding manda tory film classification." Choices Risk,. It is precisely because this ~btly dangerous kind of movie usually gets a "clean bill of health for youthful audiences," abe said, that she opposes both governmental film classification and classification by the in dustry itself. She conceded that there are intelligent and responsible film producers but added that '~ift 8electing screen material they make one of two choices. Both are risky." On the one hand, she said, producers can opt for quality ''but will the public respond to quality?" The alternative, she Nid, is ''to tailor the subject matter and treatment to what is almost inevitably a rather dis dainful estimate of the tastes &f the undiscerning mass audi ence."

Death in Summer
Death at any time of the year is sad. Death in the Summer seems to carry particularly tragic overtones. Because so many Summer deaths - drownings, auto accidents, boating incidents - seem so unnecessary, the result of a carelessness that should have been foreseen and could have been avoided. The day that starts out, for someone, as a vacation or a pleasant interlude comes to a harsh close in the screech of brakes, the gasp of pIDiic, the merciful cutting off of pain. , Men must realize that they have an obligation before God to take proper care of their own lives and the lives of their neighbors. Carelessness that becomes a danger ,to their life or that of another is a matter of sin. ~roMORROW St. Anthony This is a salutary thought to keep in mind through Ma,ry Zaecaria, Confessor. Both the Summer. readings today teach us about
that human virtue which is a gift of close conversation with God: Virtue, in order to attain etE,rnal life (Gospel); virtue, in order to offer an example and so save others (First Reading). As we gather at the holy table fOl' Communion, we sing Paul's wc'rds: be imitators of

The 1958 Instruction of the Hc,ly See on universal participa: tion at Mass is still not obeyed in many places because it has never been understood. We see thl~ key today in the emphasis on the horizontal in worship, on our love of one another, our unity with one another, in wor ship. Catholic worship can never be understood in terms of the vertical alone, and yet this ia what we have tried and are still tr3'ing to do. We learn that the Mass is a saerifice, but we do .n<>t learn that it is a sacrificial banquet. We learn that we must love God (Collect), but we do not learn tha t we must love Him as Church, as community, not just as individuals, and that we love Him in our love for one another (First Reading and Gospel)..

Tells Parents· Prepare Older Children _for Baby's Arrival
Urges Amnesty For Prisoners
By Fr. Walter w. Imbiorski Dear Father: , I am -expecting my second child in four months. Is there anything I can do to help Julie, who is three, adjust to the new baby. In some families I have seen the older child take a real dislike to Boasting or talking too the new baby and, in one in him. much, or just being too sweet stance, even try to do the about him may cover up for baby physical harm. How angry feelings which she thinks her parents will disapprove. can I avoid this? It is pretty typical for young Pam L. Dear Pam, First of all, stop worrying about It. People have been bringing home second babies for tens of thousands of years. I am lIUre tha~ your good common aense will carry you through without ~rrin!._ litUe Julie'll psyche.·. ,;:.. As _we know, even the very young child has sensitivities and can be deeply affected by the things which go on in the family circle. So, some time spent in preparing Julie for her new brother or sister will be well invested. Practical Points Remember Julie has been the center of all your love and at tention for three years. Now she Is going to be asked to share the .potlight. One wit has said, with some truth, that the coming of a ·new baby is about as shocking to the older child as a husband's announcement to his spouse that he is bringing home a second wife to share the household. Here are some practical points to consider until the new babr,s place is comfortable established in the family. If Julie is to be ~ved from her crib or her room, make the change now "because she UI getting bigger" and not because "'the new baby needs it." Help Bab,. Leam When you tell Julie about the baby, don't paint unrealistic pie tures about a playmate. Make lure she knows that the new born infant will be very tiny. Tell her that it will be quite il while before he can walk ·or talk or do the things she does. By your own enthusiasm let her know that it will be fun to watch and help the baby learn things. . Try such a simple thing 'as having someone else carry the . baby into the house when you return from the hospital IJO that you al'e free for a welcoming hug. Letting Julie hold the baby for a few moments, sitting In a big safe chair with a watch ful adult nearby; can .break the ice. Later try suggesting to visi tors that they "speak to Julie first" and let her show them the baby. If the older child nags for at tention, becomes especially or nery or irritating, begins to act like a baby himself or goes back to bed-wetting, these are signs that he is unsure of his parents' love or care. Extra attention, . more "grown up" privileges, more time with Mommy ot" Daddy, a toy, or a trip to the park, or just so m e warm cuddling can be very l'eassuring and will probably handle the • ituation. Develop Understandinc Resentment may be concealed under behavior that looks just like its opposite. "Julie loves to baby" may mean that she is only hovering anxiously over
children to resent, as well as love, the new baby until they figure out just how he fits into their lives AND until they realize he is not a rival but a friend. Feelings of resentment al'e better expressed than buried. Talking about them can help clear the air. Even somewhat older, school age !=hildren may show some resentment and "gripe" about the extra trouble or work the new baby causes. A story or two about the time when HE Walt small and received the same care can coax him to sense a feeling of closeness and can start him to develop under standing the baby. Groundwork for Parents sometimes concen trate on sparing the older child, only to find later that the younger one has felt neglected. Your parental vocation requires the balance of a tightrope walker, without his tenseness plus the imaginative insight of an artist and always wisdom and understanding. Too much pro tection for either the older child or the ba'by postpones the time when both come to accept each other. Parents can best. lay the groundwork for future affec tion and family- loyalty among their children by welcoming the new baby while continuing to cherish and enjoy the older children as warmly as before.

CAMBRA! (NC) ..,.... Archbish. op Emile Guerry of Cambrai has called for an amnesty for Frenchmen still in jail for poli tical crimes committed during the war in Algeria. "Amnesty covers the moral and human aspects of order, the only aspects we take up here, in keeping with our spiritual and social mission," the Archbishop said in his archdiocese's offi cial bulletin. "Amnesty should be first of all an act of national reconcili ation. "Frenchmen are divided on the interpretation of the ex tremely com pie x historical events which culminated 'hi'the independence of Algeria. "Division among sons of the same country is always an evil, especially when it provokes or m a i n t a ins resentment and hatred. An amnesty should be the occasion for a powerful movement of mutual under standing, active solidarity and national reconciliation."
Assign Lay Volunteers To Colorado Places DUBUQUE (NC) - Eighteen lay volunteers have been as signed to Catholic missions in the western United States in ceremonies at Clarke College here in Iowa.

Mission Prelate Cites Catholic Clothing Drive HARRINGTON PAR K (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Lawrence Graziano, O.F.M., of Santa Ana, EI Salvador, said that garments allocated to that country in one year through the worldwide relief. agency of U. S. Catholiics provided 140,000 people with three changes of clothing. The clothing is contributed by U. S. Catholics in the' annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collec tion sponsored by Catholic Re lief Services-National Catholic Welfare Conference. Bishop Graziano, a native of Mot. Vernon, N. Y., heads the Catholic Charities program in El Salvador. He said tha,t none of the country's needs is "more serious than the need for food." While visiting relatives here in New Jersey the Bishop is also trying to make arrangements for 1\ hot lunch program for 300,000 school children in El Salvador. Only Meal For many of the children, the meal they will receive through the Charities and CRS-NCWC programs will be their only sub stantial meal of the day, the Bishop said. "Many of our people have nothing more than one-room huts for entire families," the Bishop said. "Except for our par ish dispensaries and visiting doc. tors, medical care is almost non existent. Flour sacks are used for clothing. As for the future, these people can look forward to earning maybe 50 cents a day." He said that coffee provides most, of the income for the country, and all of the wealth is in the hands of a few people. A land reform program is im. practical, he added, because "di. viding up the coffee plantations would knock the country into a tremendous depression."

PROVIDENCE (NC) - Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J., dean of the ,Boston College Law School, criticized Rhode Island lawyers for what he said was their fail. ure to work ror a fair housing law in this state. Speaking to the Pawtucket Bar Association, he contended that Rhode Island real estate men put on the pressure that led to the death of fair housing proposals in the state Legisla ture. The priest said that' lawyers had been the nation's leaders from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War. "Now," he said, "we follow status quo." Predicting that "the anger of the Negro people is coming out," Father Drinan cautioned his listeners: "A very dangeroUi Summer is coming upon us." '

Now apply this to the Church. We Catholics throughout tile world are related to one another as the cell to the body as the right hand to the left, as one cheek to the ' other. Is it' fair, therefore, for us to put up a $500,000 gymnasium while hundreds of bishops in Africa and Asia can barely find $20 a month to pay their catechists? May we Catholics continue to spend an average of $56 a year on alcohol when, in the rest of the world, 10,000 a day die of starvation?

Who is doing most to share with the poor? The Church in the poor countries! Cardinal Lecaro has students sleeping in hia episcopal quarters; an Archbishop in Brazil resigned his com fortable diocese to assume an impoverished diocese where the per capita income was less than $57 a year; a bish()p in Chile gave up 366 acres that belonged to his diocese to eighteen impoverished families; a bishop, in France helps support himself by working in a factory.

ANN ARBOR (NC)-Relig lous groups have helped bring about an improved attitude toward the aging, the secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Charities said here. Msgr. Raymond J. Gallagher told the annual University of Michigan conference on aging that "the pendulum has swung to the middle in attitudes toward older people." A goal of this year's meeting was to elevate progress made since the first White House Conference on Aging, held in Washington, D.C., in Sept. 1961. "In 1960 and 1961," Msgr. Gal•• lagher stated "it seemed to the" .~.. "",.:..r;.~ section on" religion for the""'" " . ' Washington, D.C., meeting that it was necessary to defend the place of the older person in so ciety generally as well as in the congregation. "It did not seem to us that the attitude on the part of the fam ily, the congregation or society . toward the place of the aging member was in balance. lt would seem, however, that there has been a return of the pendulum from the extremes to the middle path, wherein lies virtue."

Says Missionaries Now Have Task Of Training Native Leaders FRANKLIN - (NC) -Catholie missionaries working in' ,Africa have the job of teaching natives to assume the responsibilities of leadership, the assistant to the Mother General of the White . Sisters said here in Pennsylva .nia. , Mother Germaine-Marie, on a six-weeks' visit to the U. S., said: "There was a time when we had the responsibility. Now we must still work with the people of Africa, but they will be the leaders." Citing an example, she said there is a hospital in Navarongo, Ghana, where White Sisters are ' the nurses, but the administra:,. tor is an African. The nun, whose headquarters
are in Rome, is almost always on the road. In recent trips to Africa, she visited Uganda, the Congo, Kenya, Mali, the Upper Volta, Guinea and Ghana. "There is a great demand for work to be done in Africa-in the schools, the hospitals, the social cepters, everywhere," she said. "We have to be refusing continually the pleas of the bishops for help because we have no one. "The greatest thing the United 'Stat~s cail.'give ,isvocatiiJl1s," she stilted.

Extraordinary M'eans Not Morally Required in 'Hopeless' Cases ATLANTIC CITY (NC)-Aux Mary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of New York said here no moral difficulty is involved if "extra OI'dinary" medical means are not ased to keep a terminal1ly ill person alive. "Particularly If the family doesn't ask for such measures," there is no need to use them to prolong the final hours of life in a case regarded as hopeless, the Bishop said at a joint press conference. Dr. Edward R. Rynearson of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., was the other person giv ing his views at the conference. lie and Bishop Sheen took part in a special program on physi. eian-clergy relationships at the American Medical Association eonvention here. Dr. Rynearson said that when ever possible he would "fight" 'the use of "extraordinary means" , to keep alive so-called hopeless cases. He referred to the use: of tubes, oxygen and special equip ment in keeping the terminally ill patient alive. Bishop Sheen said: "If the doc tor told me that extraordinary means would be needed and I was lying with a body full of
tubes to keep me alive, I would ask him to take them out. There is no moral difficulty in such a .Rico.

Public Opinion on School Aid
LOUISVILLE (NC)-A prom inent Pennsylvania attoi-ney be lieves the Catholic laym,an is the key to the change in public opinion on the question of fed eral aid to private and parochial schools. William B. Ball, general coun sel of the PennsYlvania Catholic Welfare Committee, said in an interview here that change in .public opinion on the federal aid to education issue is coming about "because we Catholics have been willing increasingly to enter into discussion with non-Catholics on these and other eivic issues which have a reli. ligious tie." Schools Misunderstood Catholic schools are generally misunderstood by non-Catholics through lack of knowledge and "inherited fears," .he said" and Catholics themselves are the key to enlightenment.

This evaluation was given by George K.

Church Grows in Vietnam
THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., July 4, 1963
SAIGON (NC) - The Church grows in Vietnam in spite of guerilla warfare and other troubles. • For example: Seventy-two converts received Baptism and Confirmation on Tuesday afternoon of Pente cost week in Sacred Heart church in the Giadinh section of Saigon. The 72 comprised 17 men, 15 women, 20 girls and 20 children. Five priests baptized them. Archbishop Paul Nguyen van Binh of Saigon confirmed them. I Were these the converts of the
Steel Industry, Labor' Set Example for Bargaining By Msgr. George G. Higgins .
Director, 'NCWC Social Action Department
In April 1962, the U.S. Steel Corporation forced a showdown with the President of the United States over . the issue of prices - and lived to rue the day. The story is recounted, objectively and in detail, by Ray Hoopes in • new book, "The Steel technological ·unemployment Crisis: 72 Hours That Shook of in the industry-i. e., unemploy The Nation" (The John Day ment resulting ·from automation. Company, New York). Mr. The new contract gives Hoopes concludes that "the com pany executives responsible for ·the decision .anade a serious MiscalCU lation when they decided to • • • raise prices .cross the board; the mis ealculation was in thinking that 4lhe rest of the industry was in the same bind and would join in as it had in the past." That was a minor mIstake, however, compared to U. S. Steel's almost incredibly naive teilure to anticipate the inten elt)' of President Kennedy's re ection to its proposed price. in Cl'ease and to the timing and manner in which it was an Ilounced. Stands on Merits According to Mr. Hoopes, if Roger Blough (president of U. S. Steel) and his colleagues had been paying attention to public ~airs and had had a better lInderstanding of human emo tions they "should have been able to foresee the President's eeaction." . It is possible that Mr. Hoopes' analysis of this controversy may have to be revised if and when the archives of the White House end of U. S .. Steel are opened to historians. Meanwhile it can stand on its merits as an impar tial and carefully researched etudy of a crisis which rocked the nation a year ago. Incidentally it can be checked for accuracy by comparing it with another recent book on the same subject: "Steel and the Presidency-1962" by Grant Mc Connell (W. W. Norton & Co., New York). No Scars The recent collective bargain ing agreement between the steel industry and the UnIted Steel workers of America seems to i.n dicate that neither the steel strike of 1959 nor U. S. Steel's quarrel with the White House in 1962 has lef.tany permanent scars. • At the end of the 1959 strike and again at the conclusion of U. S. Steel's fight with the Pres ident the atmosphere was so charged with bitterness that the future of collective bargaining in the steel industry appeared to be anything but encouraging. Fortunately the prophets of doom have'been overly pessimis tic. The Steelworkers' recent eontract with the industry, which was negotiated with9ut even the implied. threat of a strike, rep resents a major' turning point in the history of collective bargain ing. It will undoubtedly help to restore ·the nation's confidence In the effectiveness of collec tive bargaining as the normal means of solving even the most d iff i cui t labor-management problems. Partial Answer Among the provisions in the new steel contract is one that may turn out to be at least a partial answer to the problem
Aid Peruvian See BORDEAUX (NC) - South western France's Diocese of La Rochelle has adopted a mission ary See in Peru as its "twin," pr{)mising both spiritual and material aid.

half of the industry's hourly employees-those with the most seniority at each of the 11 major steel companies-a three-month vacation every five' years. Those lacking seniority to qualify for this plan will later get up to three extra weeks vacation every. five years. Bnman Relations Committee Technically speaking, the last (1960) collective bargaining contract in the !lteel industry had no formal expiration date, but it could have been reopened on May 1 of this year, with the union having the right to strike 90 days thereaftel·. To their credit, however, the two parties b.egan to bargain in January - approximately seven months before there could have been even the possibility of a strike. They carried on negotia tions through the Human Rela tions Committee which had been established under the terms of the 1960 contract. Both management and union officials in the steel industry have nothing but praise for this Committee. AccOl'ding to R Conrad Cooper, vice-president of U. S. Steel, the Human Relations Committee "enabled the parties to discuss the issues calmly and reasonably without the pressure of a fixed deadline." He called the Committee's work "a sig nificant development for collec tive bargaining." Future Seeure Similarly, David J. McDonald, president of the United Steel workers of America, stated that· the recent steel settlement "proves the permanent worth" of the committee idea, and dis. proves skeptics who said the in dustry couldn't bargain without a strike threat. Mr. McDonald is entitled to crow about the success of the Human Relations Committee, for· at the time of its establishment in 1960 many observers were in clined to dismiss the Committee as little more than window dressing. In the light of the recent steel settlement, the future of collec tive bargaining seems now se cure. Indeed, we may be on the threshold of a new era-one in which the strike and the lockout will gradually be replaced' by long term labor-management cooperation. This depends· on the willing ness of other major corporations and unions to follow the exam•. pIe of the steel industry and the Uni,ted Steelworkers of America.
Urges Proclamation
On Captive Nations
WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Captive Nations Com mitteee, Inc., has charged that the government seeks to play down the Captive Nations Week Observance, scheduled this year from July 14 to 20. Lev E. Dobriansky, chairman of the committee and professor of economics at Georgetown, said he and others had appealed to President Kennedy for an early presidential proclamation of the week, but was told "estab lished procedure" would be fol lowed for the fifth annual week. Dobriansky said in a state • ment this means the proclama tion will be issued late on the Friday afternoon before the week begins and "submerged by some chosen major news items." He said that this created the im pression that "our government seeks to pIa. down the week for fear of how Khrushchev and his puppets would react."

Pope Orders Special Dinner For Convicts VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI ordered a special Sun day dinner for all Italy's convicts and special desserts for thou sands of sick children to mark his coronation. Vatican Radio said that the Pope gave instructions that funds be provided so that all jails in Italy could have a special banquet, on coronation day for their prisoners.

tax-paid school bus rides to parochial school students, but a key legislator said the measure ·has little chance of passage. State Rep. Edwin D. Eshlemaa of Lancaster, who is chairman of the House Education Com mittee, said his mail volume has increased "tremendously" in recent weeks as a result of Cath. olic interest in House bill 1018. The legislator said the De partment of Public Instruction estimated it would cost an addi tional $6,300,000 to furnish tax paid transportation to parochial and other nonpublic school stu dents. He said this was based on approximately 575,000 non public school students - 35 pel' cent - requiring transportatiOll at an average cost of $29.27 pel' student..

Citiz~ns From Smut, Propaganda
WASHINGTON (NC) - New legislation is needed to protect citizens from unwanted ob scenity and propaganda in the mails, .the House postal opera tions subcommittee was told here. Legislation for this purpose was endorsed by Charles H, Keating, Jr., cochairmaI! and general counsel of Citizens for Decent Literature, Cincinnati, in testimony before the sub committee. Keating said legislation along these lines would protect "the sanctity of the home" and pre vent its being "invaded by filth peddlers." The hearings were being held to consider several similar bills (H.R. 319, 142, 5018 and 5522) which would permit the reci pient of unsolicited offensive mail matter to demand that his name be removed from the sender's mailing list. A sender who failed to comply would face the loss of his mailing permits. One version of the legislation would apply only to obscene material and communist propa ganda. Another would extend to so-called "junk mail" as well. • Rep. Morris K. Udall of Ari zona, sponsor of one of the bills, presided over the hearings. In

a preliminary statement Udall emphasized that the subcommit tee was seeking to avoid "any label of censorship." But he ex pressed the conviction that "ad ditional legislation * * * is neces sary" to protect the public from offensive material in the mails. Part of Home Udall said the bills under con sideration would avoid setting up any government agency as a censor but would leave it to individual citizens to decide what they did or did not want sent them in the mails. Rep. Glenn Cunningham of Nebraska, sponsor of another of the bills, declared that "mil lions of citizens are deeply con cerned over this problem of obscenity." "A man's home is his castle, and a mail box is "Oart of the home," Cunningham- said.

was that of Willy Mays. The

The· closest balloting for a

Large .Richard had another bad day afield Sun.day in the Stadium and once again pitcher Early Wilson was the victim.

Third base is admittedly the strongest position in the Ameri can League this year with Brooks Robinson, Cletus Boyer, Rick Rollins, Ed Charles and White Sox rookie Pete Ward all enjoying banner seasons. It, therefore, must have been par ticularly gratifying to the hard working Malzone to learn that he was the players' choice by a one-sided margin. Manager Ralph Houk who as skipper of the defending cham pion New York Yankees auto matically qualified to pilot the A.L. Stars, has already indi cated that he plans to select Boston's great reliefer,' Dick" Radatz; and it would come as no surprise if Bill Monbouquette and .Carl Yastremski also were invited along.

'Strongest Weapon' "For the state to deprive itself of the support of religious belief and organization is to enter the battle for social justice without our strongest weapon-the spir. itual beliefs from which social action springs," he declared. Shriver also voiced a plea for more Catholic college graduates to join the Peace Corps either as volunteers or staff members. Bishop Walter W. Curtis of Brid'geport, Conn., and Sister Mary Ber.igna, a bHnd nun who teaches blind children, were among those who were awarded honorary degrees.
