Answers Council Critics
The Vatican Coun~n.......-what it has decided; what it shan or shall not decide-provided ,council news for this week. Controversy concerning the im plementation of the liturgical reforms, the proposed religioQ liberty statement and birth con trol decisions all occupied coun cil spotlights. Some so-called "traditional ists" have taken the positioa that many liturgical reforms 88 they are being put into practice in the U.S. were not actually intended by the Council but were rather devised by council ex Perts on their own authority. These self-named conservatives have objected to the introduction of the vernacular in the Mass, it. offering facing the people and demand parish self-determina';' tion in liturgical affairs. Some eve n picketed the Liturgical Conference recently held in Baltimore, Md. Rev. Frederick R. McManus, secretary of the U.S. Bishops' Commission on the Liturgical Apostolate-himself directly ac cused by the Traditionlist Move ment--cleared some of the air of controversy. The decrees of the Vatican Council, he pointed out, are not the work of specia lists or experts but that of the Pope and the Bishops. , It took four years to frame the council liturgical document, thorough debate by the world'.

Fall River Diocese Bear Him Witness as Teachers in Southwest tn
Citizens Will
The people of ~ in the Fall River Diocese are bearing Him witness and none more than five young laypeople who have just completed a year of teaching in mission schools in Oklahoma, New Mexico" and Texas. The five are Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sullivan of South Yarmouth; Judith Perry of Provincetown; Mary Jane Collins of Fan River; and Marguerite Desjardins of School in Oklahoma City. social workers and other work Westport. For Mary Jane Judith, daughter of Dr. and· ers to the home missions of Texas and Marguerite, their teach Mrs. Thomas Perry of St. Peter and the Sullivans heard of it ing year led to a decision to the Apostle parish in Province through Rev. John Wilcox, for BO
remain in their mission area. Mary Jane, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Collins of Holy Name parish, Fall River, taught high school classes at St. Pius High School in Albuquerque. A graduate of Newton College of the Sacred Heart, ,she is taking education courses this Summer at Tulane .University in New Or leans. In the Fall she will return to New Mexico as a teacher in the Sante Fe public school sys tme, conducting catechism clas ses as an extra-curricular ac tivity. Newspaper Work During her year of teaching third grade at Immaculate Con ception School in. Oklahoma City, Marguerite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Armand Desjar dines of St. John the Baptist par ish, Central Village, became' in grossed in youth work in the Negro section of the city.

Like Marguerite, she offered tu toring assistance to Negro young sters. For the future, she hopes to teach in the Boston school system. Mary Jane, Marguerite and Judith taught under auspices of the Extension Lay Volunteers, a program headquartered in Chi cago which is designed for lay people wishing to give a year of service to the home missions. Skills needed include teaching, nursing, catechetical work, social work and child care. Diocesan director of the program, as well as of the Papal Volunteers for Latin America program, is Rev. James W. Clark, St. Joseph's parish, Fall River. Teach in Texas Representatives of the Cath olic Lay Mission Corps are Mr. and Mrs. Donald Sullivan, who are . spending the Summer in South Yarmouth with Mrs. Sul livan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. McNeill, St. Pius X parish. The CLMC supplies teachers,
mer Newman Club chaplain at Bridgewater State College, from which both graduated. They were married last year, just before leaving for Texas and they· spent their first year of marriage teaching in St. Mon ica's school, San Antonio. Don ald was prinicipal and taught fifth and sixth grades, while Judy taught fourth grade and also coached seventh and eighth graders in cheerleading. Teaching conditions are very primitive, said the Sullivans. Their school was a converted Army barracks and blackboards were makeshift affairs painted by the school janitor. So pov erty-stricken was the school that one month the teachers donated their small salaries toward its upkeep. They would probably have stayed longer at St. Monica's, noted the couple, but for the fact that they're expecting. a baby this month. In the future, however, they hope to teach in the Virgin Islands or in Europe. The Virgin Islands project was, once more, suggested by Father Wilcox, now stationed there, and aware of the Island's need of teachers.

Obedience Vow Continued from Page One out in any given instance the concrete actions, undertakings and renunciations which in the judgment of competent autho rity are deemed necesary." Superior's Obligations But the superior also has ob ligations, Father Korth stressed. He said: "It is not enough that commands be morally indiffer ent. They must be morally good in their total context." They should be commands whicb un cleI' other circumstances migbt be "less prudent, less good, less significant," he added. Even "irrational and indefen sible" commands, he said, do not excuse the subject from obedience. He declared: "Tbe. obedience which (the religious life) entails must be regarded as the will of God, even if til particular command appears to be senseless," provided of course that "what is commanded is not immoral in itself." Father Korth suggested that superiors help alleviate prob lems stemming from disagree ments by admitting that "in certain circumstances subjects know more than they do about certain matters." . He urged superiors to avoid "age-old rituals involving de mands of respect from subjects, secretiveness, manifestations of superiority, appeals of superiors to a higher wisdom, displays of condescension."

paperboy in New Bedford. Last week, after a "hectic" first day at Cathedral Camp. where he is a junior counselor, Ronnie started his rounds with his newspapers. Lauretta Beauregard, 8, was running home from a neighbor hood store with a popsicle. In typical small girl fashion, she was not paying attention to where she was going. She slammed into a fire hy drant and was flipped over it into the street as a car rounded the comer. Ronnie dropped his papers, raced to where Lauretta lay on the street unable to move. "Can you get up?" he asked
her. The little girl "just kept crying her head-off," he said. Ronald scooped her up and carried her into her house. "She's been hurt," he told Lau retta's mother, Mrs. Louis L. Beaurgard. Then he left to con tinue his newspaper rounds. Near Tra~dy An across-the-street neighbor eaUed to ten Mrs. Beauregard her daughter had almost been hit by a car.

LONDON (NC)-Catholic la" people in their work and their recreation "are the Churcb, act ually permeating the human en vironment and consecrating it," according to Abbot Basil Chris topher Butler, O.S.B., of Down side Abbey. Abbot Butler told a famil,. and social action conference in near by Hoddesdon: "Every man of good will is positively related to the Church and in some sense already belongs to her. The Church, then, is mankind so far as he accepts his supernatural destiny and is in process of ac cepting his redemption."
ST. PAUL (NC) - Good congregational singing re quires the presence of a. choir says a music educator. "If you're going to keep con gregational singing on' a decent ly high plane musically, you ~eed a choir," is the opinion of Father John Sweeney, professor of music at the St. Paul semi nary. "The choir is there to ser'fe the needs of the people of God, so the whole service is done well," Father Sweeney observed, noting that details have not been spelled out either by the ecu menical council's liturgy consti tution or by the post consiliar liturgy commission. Rubrics Quite Clear He said the constitution's .em phasis is "obviously toward the people getting involved" in the liturgy but their part is "flexi~ ble." Even those most strongly ill favor of congregational particl patioR concede that choirs must take over the parts of the Mass the people cannot handle, Father Sweeney said. On the other hand, the Minne sota professor added, "there are som~ things that are obviously intended to be done by the pe0 ple, and the rubrics are quite clear on these things." The semi.nary priest asserted there is no doubt that the con gregation should join in ling in« the Sanctus-Benedictus. The Kyria and Agnus Dei "can well be alternated with the ehoir and people." Present ProbleM As for the Creed, it is a pro fession of faith and {<since every body believes these things, they ought to have a chance to 30," he pointed out. Father Sweeney said that since the proper paris of the Mass change daily, congregational participation in them is almost impossible at this time. "But in the future it may be that the propers will be so arranged that the people will have some part m them," he added.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fan River-Thurs., July 8, 1965
No Rapprochement "As long as I live there shall be no rapprochement with the Roman Catholic Church, and to this end I am prepared
to sacrifice my life." A shocking statement, this, in this era of religious good fellowship, and all the more when one considers its source, Archbishop Chrysostomos of
Athens. The prelate was the one high-ranking Orthodox
churchman who . opposed the noW historic meeting of the Orthodox ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras with Pope Paul some eighteen months ago, and he has been speaking' in keeping with his action ever since.
This latest statemen·t was to the Greek Synod when the question of sending observers to the fourth session of the Vatican Council came up. Despite the urging of the government's representative in the Synod, that it is "no sin for us to see what the
Catholic Church is doing," the Archbishop's views prevailed and the matter was referred to the plenary session of the :hierarchy that meets in October, a tactic used last year with success to prevent the sending of observers, sioce
lIuch a session was never convened. The only point in discussing this matter is to bring to the fore the fact that "not everybody loves us." There is nQ need to be unduly pessimistic, but it would be the . height of naivete to think that the feeling of religious brotherhood pervades every ar~a of the world. It is true
that certainly not in four centuries has there been so much good will and cordiality among .various religious groups. It is likewise true that while a beginning has been made if! it just that-a beginning, with all that a beginning implies, chiefly that there is a .long way yet to go.
Wearing, Thin It is strange that in this day and age people must feel vateful that there were no riots celebrating the Fourth of July weekend but that is the prevailing mood in many a resort area of New Enghind. 'There is something quite barbarous in the thought of people waiting for the sense ~Sg outbreak of violence and. wanton destruction and hop ing that local authorities would be strong enough to contain and put down the rioters; The very idea is sO 'repugnant' to decency and maturity that it is a wonder, an' enraged public does· not wOrk itself: into a ~u~ter-frenzy ',¢ attack against ,those who would ' dare to upset the peaCe an.d orde:r .ofa, community., No, f)ne would urge a return to vigilante justice but the courts,· with their concern for individual, rights,must become ever more aware that the public demands ooncern for its,rights too. There are repeated instances of groups of citizens band-I. ing .together for protection of their' homes and families..:. • group of baseball bat bearing mothers guarding a play ground, a network of radio-equipped automobiles patrolling a neighborhood, and similar groups seeking the protection that the ordinary law-enforcement channels are supposed to provide. These are all indications that the public patience is wearing. thin. Perhaps the absence of outrageous incidents last weekend indicates that the hoods are becoming aware of this too.
Papal Visit? The very possibility that the Holy Father may speak before the United Nations indicates the hope of the world in the prestige that the Pope can give that troubled body and the hopes that the Pope himself has in the ability of that body to be a strong power for good in the world. Of course, some Catholic groups will be embarrassed as there are those who look on the United Nations as a weakening and un-American agency. , But the Pope seems to feel, along with a good many others, that the United Nations, with all its faults and weaknesses, is still a positive force in the world and worthy of support and encouragement.

Many of lIB, far removed from Chaucer's time, remem ber nuns of not too long ago, those whose very presence east a chill. Rather prissy and proper, they would elicit from their charges only a sacred, "Yes, S'ster"; "No, S'ster." In side walk-long black gowns, they glided along' and we wondered if they even had feet. They were not allowed to eat with the girls in their own school, much less eat in a public res taurant.

conference on guidance being held at a local university. Thril led with what they were learn ing from experts, they were eager to be of still further service to the young people they would teach next Fall. And a dinner with a family ours--was, to their way of thinking, a fun by-product of being in our town. ''You do enough driving, Mrs. Daly," said Sister B. as we called to pick her and her companion up at the dormitory where they were staying. "Let me be the ebaffeur." Like any young woman whO only occasionally has wheels at her command, Sister B. was itching to step on that accelera tor, and she did, weaving ex pertly through traffic. "Could I go to the grocery store with you?" she asked wheD we suggested stopping for a forgotten few things for dinne~. "I love to push a basket." And a very efficient basket pusher was Sister B., getting the royai treatment: customers letting us be first in line at the baked goods' counter, the "take-a-number" system mo mentarily disregarded; a "Please, Sister, take my place" at the produce weighing-in and again at the check-out counter. "Guess they never saw' a DUll before," chuckled the tall, tan ned young nun in her flowing black .robes, "at least not • a grocery store!" . (Personally, we wished Sister would accompany WI every day). At home, "the lively ones" were a help in the kitchen, sprightly conversationalists at dinner and folk-singers par ex cellence as we gathered around the piano, Sister B. strurnmin. her guitar.

Self-Sufficiel1tY .Goal We read. in ,the Gospel how Christ wept . over Jerusalem. That spat is marked today by a tiny and very bea'utifuJ chapel called' Dominus Flevit. It is just beneath the crest of the Mount of Olives, as it descends into the Cedron Volley. The altar is arranged so that the priest and people at Mass look through a wide window on a panorama of the city whose rejection' of Him caused Jesus to weep. • As the pilgrim JoOks out over the City from this vantage point his thoughts are jarred b.v the evidence of hate made manifest here again in our own time-the destruction wrought by shells, bullets and grenades is clearly evident on both the Cenacle, scene of the last Supper, and the Church of the Dormition built over the place where Our Blessed Mother died. 'On the roofs of both these shrines armed Israeli soldiers can be seen peer, ing alertly from behind sandbags. And as the pilgrim's gaze moves scant yards down ·hill-he sees a line of Jordanian soldiers of the Arab Legion, also armed and at the ready, in front of their encampment on the grounds of the

Church of Saint Peter i.n Gallicantu7 which Is the pI~ where St. Peter denied Our lord. 'This is the Arab-Israeli border where for 16 nors soldiers'ha've been on 24-hour guard, each skle ready to shoot to kill anyone who dares walk those short yards in eitherdirection. When, the Holy land yvas cutin two the ma.ted losses to the Church were enormous. Much \~what had taken years in the buUding was lost. a" bothh sitles new churches, schools, hospitals and ot er institutions of mercy were needed . In Israel the Catholics had now betome concentrated in Galilee;.Jn Jordan the Catholic population was' almost doubled by those who fled in to the Old City for protection and who would never return to their homes. Poverty which had always been widespread in the Holy land was replaced by nflar destitution for bisho'ps, priests, religlous and laity alike. His Holiness Pope Paul VI has appealed to United States Catholics to assist him in caring for these unfortunate people who are enduring the worst in their battle for survival.

Says Superficial Thinking
Confuses Many Youngsters
Predicts Growth Of Resistance To Council
By Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. . Recently in this column, I tried to put across the fact that it HI foolhardy to learn one's theology from TIME or NEWSWEEK, or even from the Catholic Press-which was never intended to be a theology teacher, something that every good Catholic editor that of ecumenism. Now this is reali,zes perfectly well. As an Cl tremendous movement, one we example of the confusion should aIr have close to our that can arise from such hearts. But it has sometimes been superficial coverage, we consid ered some of the confusion which has resulted from the slanted or carelessly headlined reports on the medical and moral issues in volved in the various forms of birth-control. At the risk of
seeming m 0 r e negative t han usual, I'd like to pursue the examination of this idea of su perficial think ing just a bit far the r here. The entire art iclewill be based on actual examples of opinions advanced recently by some teenagers on various subjects. Teenagers are people who see . black and white, not noticing much grey in any given picture. A thing is right or wrong, a guy is good or bad, a person is lik able or despicable, and there are. few distinctions to be made. And lie it is that some teenagers are often lead farther astray by warped news stories and propa ganda than are some adults. Sex Propalranda Certainly anyone who has dealt with teenagers at <Ill must ~ave noth;ec;l that some of them have, quite .understandably, swallowed whole today's propa ganda that. sex is just about eV,erything, certainly ·in mar.,. riage at least. But even an au thority like Billy Rose hal! said that this is precisely.why mar riages break up-because sex is the only criterion used in choos ing a partner, and when the sex attraction turns. to "ho-hum," or goes out towards another, more attractive object, that's the end of that marriage. The reason marriages break up is not because of a lack of "sex ual compatibility" at all, but be cause the partners are simply "not friends." Now once a young person cveremphasizes sex in his own mind, it is easy indeed for him to become convinced, for exam ple, that the moral law forbid ding birth-control is "too hard." Old-Fashioned Word And then it will be an easy further step for him to reason that self-control of any sort is often "too hard," and that "con trol" is an old-fashioned word, something which comes easy to celibates, and so they inconsid erately and unthinkingly "im pose" this law on others. If there are any priests or re ligious who got back the gift of integrity with their vows or or dination, I wish they would please write in, because nobody has told me about this. Take another subject, though-

This is, of course, the very opposite of genuine ecumenism, which is essentially apostolicity, . the desire to share· the "good news" of God with others.

Clois·tered Life Difficult For Laity to Understand By John J. Kane, Ph.D. "Why are the rules of cloistered nuns so strict? who originated these rules? To taik to a family member through a row of double bars makeg me dizzy. Can they help hu manity when they are s€ l larated from it? What is ~heit' goal in life? Other Ol'U€ T 3 the room in which the Sisbrs have been given more fre~ slept, had a cross, not a crucifbc. dom by Popes John and Pa:l~. It was ~xplained to me tllnis Did they forget the c~o:s meant. the Sister was the victim tered nuns?" You have ra:5e5, SO many questions here, Bi!~t:;r. th t I d bt a ou more Ithcan do k an . rna. e a beg Inn l!1g at an s w e r I n g. them. The CIOl stered nuns be long to what are cal~ed con templahve or de r s. Perhaps the best k'1o~ ef the women s orders is the Carmelites, founded i~. 1492. This had a somewhat mitIgatedl rule: compared to the male C~r tnehtes. But St. Teresa reformed!. the order with strict observance of the rule in 1562. Another well known order Is the Poor Clares, which is the lJecon~ order .f?unded by St. FranCIS of ~ISl and St. Clare In 1212. I mIght add ~hat ther-e are several contemplative oroen. ef men as well. Nearly everyone has heard of the Trappists. Highest Form Most of the orders and CO!'l Il'egations founded centurie; ago were eontemplatives. When tbe great bishop, St Francis de Sales, founded the Visitatio~ Sisters, he suffered severe cri ticism. They were contemplative but would also visit the sick. At that time, such a thing was 1IIlheard of. St. Bernard called contempla tion the highest form of human worship. It consists in adoration of God and complete self-sur ~nder. You are quite right they are strict. But the strict rule has a purpose behind it. The true contemplative nun sepa l'ates herself as completely as possible from the world. at least in one sense. In order to come closer to Sod they take vows of poverty, ehastity and obedience, as other ~ligious do, but they live i.n a eloister, or enclosure, which cuts them off from almost all other persons not living within thei.r religious community. Fast, Abstinence Most of them observe an al most perpetual silence, speaking only during a brief period of the day. Some have complete fast and abstinence. Many sing or recite the Divine Office in eommon, .some arising during the night to do so. I recall once visiting a Car melite convent before it was . occupied by the Sisters. The ~fectory i.e. the room in which meals are eaten, was furnished most .sparingly. 1'ables were baee, benches replaced chai~s and on the table of the Supen .ress ·was a human skull. These Sisters slept on boards and during penitential seasO!llJ the boards were turned over. Thc other side had ridges whicn must have made it even more tIIlcomforable. III each cen. teo

for this cross. . Greatest Be~efa~to~ . This very ascetic hfe IS dlf ficult for most of us to under stand, perhaps more difficult for many Americans who live in relative comfort. In a wordly sense, it is nonsense. In a spir itual sense, it is magnificieot. So try to view it through your spiritual lenses. These religious have sacri ficed all worldly comfort for the love of Christ. But the love of God breeds love for mankind. These women men too for that matter who have literally noth ing ar~ our greatest benefactors. Day and night they plead and make reparations for mankind. Only God in His infinite wis dom knows how much we aU. owe to the prayers and penances of the contemplative religious. How many souls have been able to resist temptation; how many have been given the grace ()f final penitence through theil1' sacrifices, can only be conjec tured . Salvation Goal Their goal in life is, as ()urs should also be, salvation of <ml' souls. But in their generosity they become their brothers' keepers by doing penance and praying for all mankind. Of course, this is not the only way to salvation. Priests" non-contemplative orders and congregations of religious and laywomen, single or married. have states of life in which they can work out their salva tion. God calls each of us to ~ certain state of lif£.. Looked at objectively. some states of life are higher than others. The priesthood and contemplative life are certainly higher, in thia sense, than marriage. But there is another way to view it. The highest state of life for any particular person is for him, the one to whIch he has been called by God. I think Americans tend to view the contemplative life, in so far as they even know about it, with mixed feelings. First,_ they are likely to consider it somewhat absurd. "How," they ask, "can any reasonable per son enter into such a thing'~" But' at the same time I believe they are a bit awed by the sacrifices of such religious. When you visit your relat~ve who is a contemplative nUR nex;t time, don't be annoyed by those bars. These are not really separating you from her or' her from you. They are a sy~ bol of her life which is helping to bring you and me and all 0( 'us closer to God. They are not barriers at all.
Force of Habit CEDAR RAPIDS (NC)-Some things just get to be a habit. It happened in Municipal Court here in Iowa, where Judge Loren Hullinger, Jr.. was lecturing a 12-year-old Catholic school boy about bi~ cycle safety. "If I dismiss this charge, will you promise you won't be back here again?" asked the black-robed judge. Came the reply: "Yes, Sister." It broke up judge and spec tators alike. The court dismilt sed the charae.

Doctors Oppose Low Relaxation NEW YORK (:MC)-There are eoUd medical grounds as wen lIS moral reasons for opposing any relaxation of laws on abor tion, the National Federation of Catholic Physicians' Guilds de elared here at the conclusion of its 33rd annual meeting. The federation took the posi tion that practical problems would increase rather than de crease if the legal permission for abortion were widened. It maintained that much of the present drive to change abortion laws is built on a false emotion alism. In another action, the Catho lic doctor's group pledged tc help Catholic missions overseas, particularly in Latin America, in their medical assistance pro grams. The first step will be tc raise funds to enable local doctors to make regular paid visits to mission institutions. The federation \8 also parti eipating in discussions aimed at (lvercoming the licensing diffi culties that are preventing U.S. doctors from volunteering their services in many Latin Ameri can nations.
Lauds Cooperation Of Church, State ALTOONA (NC)-The mutual cooperation of church agencies and the state in caring for the needy was hailed here in Penn f;ylvania by the State Commis moner of the Aging, Elias Cohen.

Cohen, whose department channeled federal funds and of fered advice to builders of the new facility, said that "there are times when some would make it appear that the goals of Church and State are in opposition, while J1cthing could be further from the truth, since we have much in et)mmon."
Heads College ROME (NC)-A 36-year-old American priest has been named rector of the international col lege of the Society of the Divine Word here. Father Robert ~. Flinn, S.V.D., is the first Ameri can to hold that post. He was ordained in 1957. .

Panama Prelates Support Crusade PANAMA CITY (NC)-In a joint pastoral letter issued in connection with the Rosary cru sade being conducted in all the natjon's dioceses, the bishops of Panama have denounced "the growing immorality which is reaching unsuspected and in credible limits."

"C:i:allenged by this alarming ~:tuation," the letter urged all priests "nd Religious to give ~nei;:o full cooperaEon to 'the c:-JEc<ie.
"Let us renew the family, let us ;:oe:1ew in our homes the ex ~lY.pIes of the family of Naza reU:. By so doing we will have on t.and the most efficacious ffie:ms to make moral our child ren, the youth and the nation," the letter concluded.

Calls Pope Paul Missioner to World WASHINGTON (NC) - Pope Paul VI by his words and actions has become "Christ's missionary tc the world," the speaker at a Mass marking the second anni versary of the Pope's coronation declared here. Auxiliary Bishop Philip M. Hannan of Washington, preach jng at the anniversary Mass in St. Matthew's cathedral, said , "the extension of Christ's total work for the whole human fam ily" is the special mark of Pope Paul's pontificate. Personal Work Bishop Hannan said that as a "missionary" Pope Paul seeks "to understand the family of man, to make men into the peo ple of God, and to direct them into building the kingdom of
God, personally and collective ly." He said this is not a task of crganization or administration alone, but "is at heart the per sonal and direct work of Christ, the communication of grace tG the individual soul." The bishop said Pope Paul's two historic journeys-to the Holy Land and to the Eucharis tic Congress in Bombay, India best represent the spirit of his pontificate. He called the two journeys "dramatic but typical examples of the daily work of the Holy Father-to remind men always of his duality, that he must be a good citizen of this world to be a citizen of the everlasting world of heaven." . The Pope, he said, "sees every

"Total and most immed iate love of God and redeeming love of neighbor are not possible if man is seeking an earthly compensation for his renuncia tion of marriage."

Love of Savior The "most delicate but de ma!1ding part of the Pope's mis sion, the bishop continued, is to brjng the love of Our Savior even to those who may be fur thest from it." He said is was this fact which led to the establishment of the Vatican's new secretariat for n.on-believers. Declaring that the work of the Pope "must be also our work and our concern," Bishop Hannan said: "Our loyalty must be in terms of faith in action." • Above all," he said, "that :loyalty must consist in respect Dng and following the words of Christ as conveyed by His vicar. We must not twist his words so that they serve our wills instead of molding them. The Holy Fa ther alone is the Vicar of Christ. Let the Holy Father alone speak for Him.

Cardinal Lecturer
Sees Moral Duty To Support War HOBART (NC) -Archbishop Guilford Young of Hobart has declared that Australia has ill moral duty to fight communism in South Vietnam. The archbishop's statement,
the first by any Australian
Catholic prelate on the subject,
was issued a short time after
this country sent a battalion of
soldiers to take part in the
Vie t n a m struggle. Australia
maintains a force of about 1,000
troops in Vietnam.
Archbishop Young warned that a failure to battle communist aggression in Vietnam would en danger other Asian and Pacific nations, including Australi!l. "Peking and Hanoi have re jected all proposals by the United States, the United Na tions and neutrals for negotia tions on Vie t n a m," he said. "They believe they can win in South Vietnam. Our choice is either to show they can't or to abandon the area and the people whose chances of progress to a betfer future we are pledged to maintain. "To surrender in South Viet nam reduces our credibility and increases our difficulty of any commitment in Thailand, Malay sia, and so on until India is isolated and Australia is im mediately under Pl·cSSUl'e."
Archbishop HallinGn Adds Humorous Note In Keynote Address to Serrans MIAMI BEACH (NC)-With a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the age of the laity, Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta, Ga., in his keynote address to the Serra International convention here skipped the traditional catalogue of salutations and ad dressed the audience as "most emerging laymen, right emerg ing layman and very emerging laymen." " I hope in this way," the archbishop said, "to honor you more than if I were to begin by saying, 'Some of my best friends are laymen" or even, 'I am an ex-layman myself!'" The arC'hbishop also recited a ditty credited only to "a colum nist": The layman's emerging-wh:> let him out?
He'll cause confusion-with out a doubt. Who taught that chap-to pray out loud? He was easier to handle-in a nice quiet crowd. Someone grab his missal take his hymnbook too. Push him off the lectem back into the pew. Submerge that layman-low er that boom. We'll get this place again quiet as a tomb.

Refuse Scholarships At Divinity Schools WILMINGTON (NC) - The Delaware Scholarship Advisory Council has refused to approve state scholarships for students at divinity schools. The policy was anounced here by William A. Carter of Mill3 boro, council chairman, who said the council obtained an informal opinion from Deputy Atty. Gen. James C. Sabo in setting the policy. Sabo said he did not be lieve such scholarships would "stand the test of constitution ality." Carter said two Delaware students had applied for scholar ships to attend divinity schools. The two students have the right of appeal to the Delaware Board of Education, Carter stressed. The question of such scholar·· ships was pending before the education board at its April meeting, but has not yet been acted upon.

Chicago Priests Hnt Red Char~e CHICAGO, (NC) - Eighteen priests here have. charged that Chicago's mayor has insulted ',the, ' character of particpants in the" downtown racial demonstrations with his charges of communist infiltration. The statement by the priests followed a comment from the administrator of the Chicago archdiocese who said the priests were on their own in their activities. Mayor Richard J Daley had commented that "many of the people marching are commu nists" and that "some" commu nist money was being used to finance the almost daily protest marches and sit-downs near city hall. The mayor's allegations, which he said were supported by poliee department files, were heatedly denied by Albert Raby, leader of the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations. The council has been demonstrating since May 27 against the re-hir ing of school superintendent Benjamin Willis. The 18 priests said: As Cath olic priests we regret that the mayor has insulted the intelli gence and character of many people, including priests, clergy mer,. and nuns, who are parti cipants in the current demon strations."

TRENTON (NC) - The New Jersey Supreme Court has un animously upheld the constitu tionality of the state's fair hoUB ing law.

The measure bars discrimination in the sale of privately financed homes in developments of 10 or more houses and in renting apartments in apartment houses with more than three units. The challenge to the fair housing law was brought by the New Jersey Home Builders As sociation and the New Jersey AssOciation of Real Est ate Boards.
