Reject Population As Hunger Cause THE HAGUE (NC)-In perhaps the most heated plenary session of the Second World Food Congress here, African and Latin American speakers voiced strong opposition to proposals that the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) be actively concerned in promoting progrfJms of family planning and population control.

Their objections were based mainly on social and economic, rather than religious, considerations.

In an impassioned speech from the floor, Dr. Jose de Castro, Brazilian scientist and veteran FAO leader, said the food congress, "must reserve some movement for those who don't agree with the panel." ,The Brazilian, author of the

book "The Geography of Hunger," said that Latin America is underpopulated. "It is absurd and criminal to impose birth control on us,,,· he said. ,Bombs The demographic explosion is not as dangerous as the stockpiling of nuclear bombs "to destroy humanity," he said.

There is "an explosion of riches," he said, and at the same time ,an intensification of the miseries of humanity because billion~ are being spent for 'bombs rather than for people.

"No one has proved to date that we are r.ungry because we are overpopulated," he continued. "No one can say what is the optimum ,population for development."

Senate Bill Threatens Non-Profit Groups WASHINGTON (NC) - The Senate has passed its muchdebated postal reform bill, complete with a clause that spells trouble for nonprofit mailers like diocesan newspapers and charitable groups: The clause provides for the phasing out, of lower rates for all classes of mail over a 10-year period. Religious, charitable and other nonprofit mailers have traditionally enjoyed reduced second-class and third-class mail rates because of their public service function.

Sen. Gale McGee (D-Wyo.), one of the authors of the reform bill, said the phase-out proposal would "get the Congress out of the clutches of the lobbyist."

If the proposed new self-supporting post office system retains ratemaking powers, McGee said in introducing the bill, "our . halls will be filled with the representatives of special interest groups who will. as they always have, attempt to convince the members of Congress that the world will come to an end if we raise the rate on their mail."

lodge Consu~ts With' Pope On Major World Problems VATICAN CITY (NC)-Henry Cabot Lodge, President Nixon's envoy to the Vatican, met privately with Pope Paul VI on July 4 to discuss and exchange views on the major "hot spots" of the world. The two also discussed the menace of the world drug traffice.

It was the first time in 20 years an American especially designated by the president of the United States as a representative-although without any formal diplomatic status--came to the Vatican for such talks.

Lodge went to the Vatican at 10:45 on Saturday morning,

McGee admitted, however, that in light of the lowered rates previously allowed for public service mailers, it would be "grossl'y unfair to those mailers, and genuinely adverse to the public interest to 'throw them to the wolves' in the first day of the Postal Service's operations."

This would "literally mean bal)kruptcy" in many cases, he said, and accounts for the bill's providing a phase-out period of up to 10 years for public service mailers to adjust to the higher rates. The phase-out would begin within two years after the bill became law.

A possible alternative to the McGee-Fong bill is the postal reform biJI passed by the House, which says that Congress can continue setting lowered rates for public service mail and provide a yearly subsidy to make up the difference.

House Bm The catch for public service mailers, however, is that Congress must appropriate the funds to pay for this subsidy every year, and it has been known to

The congress is sponsored each year by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) directors of the 11 New England Catholic Diocese. This year'swhich will feature more than 50 workshops, seminars, and special sessions dealing with the future of religious education-is being sponsored by the Most Reverend Russell J. McVinney, D.O., Bishop of Providence.

Mr. McDple heads a ,committee of 26 CCD officials organizing this year's event. Theme of this year's congress is "The 70's Decade of Hope." It will deal with' every aspect of religious education for the parents, religion teachers, CCD heads, and parish education committee members 'Who will attend.'

Mr. McDole who lives as 25 Second Street, Pawtucket, is presently co-chairman of, the education committee of St. Teresa's Parish. He is also a'member of the executive committee of the newly formed Regional School Board for Catholic Schools, Diocese of Providence.

Mr. McDole was appointed to the 'Seekonk post in July, 1968.

Before that he was Vice Principal of Pawtucket West 'Senior High School, Pawtucket, from 1963 through 1968. Before that he served as an English, Journalism, and Economics teacher at West.

If the House biJI becomes law and Congressional funds are not forthcoming, public service mailers would have to pay higher rates to compensate. ' Despite this pitfall, the House bill is said to be much less a financial threat than the Senate bill. Both bills now go to a conference committee, composed of members from each body, where differences between the two bills will be ironed out and a final product will be shaped.

Several attempts were made to remove the phase-out provision from the McGee-Fong bill but were unsuccessful. Two efforts were made to substitute the entire House bill for the Senate bill. One of those motions lost by a narrow margin and one was tabled out of existence.

Four church-related groups also wrote letters to every senator proposing an amendment to retain a preferred rate for second and third-class nonprofit mailers by phasing in over a 10 year period a rate equal to one-half the normal rate for each class.

Hit Assault

On Life NEW YORK (NC)-The Catholic bishops of New York State called on all people of good will to take part in an all-out campaign "to reverse the life-destroying trends of society which abortion and euthanasia represent."

The bishops' statement was released here by Cardinal Terence Cooke. It said July I, when the state's new regressive abortion law went into effect, marks the beginning of a "tragic chapter" in the history of the state.

Meanwhile Robert A. Derzon, acting hospitals commissioner here, emphasized Catholic hospitals and medical personnel will not be required to participate in abortions under the law.

NEW YORK (NC) - A Lutheran scholar who three years ago became the first non-Catholic in the theology department at Fordham University, will not be retained after the coming academic year. .

The contract of the Rev. Robert L. Wilken, 33, will expire without renewal because the department already ha3 enough tenured personnel in Dr. Wilken's field of early church history, a university official said.

However, several faculty members, including Dr. Wilken, said that the university action reflected a retreat from the institution's previously expresse'';-ideal of ecumenical cooperation in the field of theology. .

"I came with th<l understanding that Fordham was ready to confront Protestantism openly.

Now it's clear that most (faculty) members never intended this kind of department" said 'Dr. Wilken. He receiven his doctor-

ate at the Unive~sity of Chicago and became assistant professor at Fordham in 1967. .

"The department has the authorization to find such a person,': s~id Pau.l J. Reiss, academlc vice-preSident of the Jesuit instit~tion. ..

He said that the· university expects to hire more non-Catholics "as a. natural process," but that effor:ts would be made to preserve the institution's traditional strength-eatholic theology.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Millions of American~ get health care on a hit-or-miss basis and millions more lack access to care except in crisis, according to a high level panel study released here.

The panel's 27 members, ap~ointed a year ago to advise the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, . recommended sweeping changes in American health care, One recommended change was that the federal government should pay for all basic Medicare benefits. The federal share of the program now is about ~~.6 billion--on a federal-state matching share basis.

The panel's report also advised shifting emphasis from private, independent medical practice toward alternatives such as group practice, pre-paid health care plans and ultimately something akin to national health insurance.

"There isn't enough money and there aren't enough doctors to provide the needed care just op a fee-far-service basis. Thus, any solution will require new options new goals and new attitudes," stated the report released at an HEW news conference.

"It is a central conclusion of the task force that money is needed, but that money alone will not guarantee either capacity or effectiveness to the system," said the report.

Chairman of the panel called the Task Force on Medicaid and Related Programs is Walter J. McNerney," president of the Blue Cross Association. The panel includes a represenative cross-sec-

tion of American representatives from industry, labor, consumers, health and social sciences and health institutional and service groups.

Minimum Benefits Throughout the report, the' group criticized the Medicaid program for the poor and others for whom costs become overwhelming, It claimed that cnly an estimated one-third of the 30 million to 40 million potential beneficiaries of Medicaid actually receive its services.

A key recommendation called for conversion of )vIe'dicaid to a pmgram with a' uniform minimum of health benefits financed entirely by federal funds. There would be federal-state matching programs for certain supplementary benefits and persons not covered under the minimum plan.

The proposed plan would start with a first priority on eligible children and families with children and later phase in additional groups until all poor or nearly poor Americans would be covered - presumably expanding coverage to all eligible.

Urges Christians To Break Circle Panel Asks New Goals and Attitudes Of Poverty VATICAN CITY (NC)-A papal In Changing Nation's Health Care letter has called upon Christians to "rise up with their strength, in the name of the Gospel," against an economic system that makes poverty a by-product of growth.

Christians should stand "in the first rank of those who dare by every means at their disposal, to break the .hellish Circle of poverty," declared a letter written in Pope Paul's name by Cardinal Jean Villot, papal secretary of state.

The cardinal was writing to the 57th French Social Week, which met in Paris July 1-5. ,Subject of this year's social week was "The Poor in the -Society of the Rich."

• "In the societies of plenty," the letter said, "poverty is not measured merely by the revenues at one's disposal and the standard of living one enjoys ... Is not the poor man in sum the man who does not count, who is never listened to, who is put here or there without being asked his opinion, and who sinks into an isolation so painful that he may resort to irreparable deeds of despair?"

World Wide Question Of the society of the rich, the letter said: "In this world where every living person is our neighbor, the research and the struggle of societies of plenty against their islands of poverty cannot dispense them from a resolute assault on the great problems of our times, where 'the social question has become worldwide' (Populorum Progressio).

"That problem consists in the crying disparities between the rich countries and the poor countries, the growing distortion that separates the most deprived from the most favored."

Christians should therefore strive to close the widening gap between rich and poor "on a world scale as well as on that of the various groupings," the letter declared.

Victims of Cupidity Recalling that preaching the good news to the poor is the "sign par excellence of the kingdom of God," the letter stated: . "An attentive reading of the Bible shows in fact that the poor hold in it a considerable place and that, if their state is sometimes the result of indolence or of disorder, the poor are not always the children of laziness but very oiten the victims of fate or of men's cupi~ity."

Effort Fails LOS ANGELES (NC)-A legislative initiative that would have abolished any legal restraint against abortion in California failed to get the required number of signatures.

The initiative obtained 168,010 signatures, Secretary of State H. P. Sullivan announced-far short of the required 325,173.

British Nurses Refuse Ro~'e

THE ANCHOR,Thurs., July 9,

~n Aboft~(D!rn

For DrClffr Dodgers

LONDON (NC}-A revolt by hospital nurses against taking part in legalized abortions was reported this week to be spreading through Britian.

Senior operating room' nurses at Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport, Cheshire, refused to take part in any further such operations, claiming their right under the conscience clause in the Abortion Act. Their action, which stems from the ever-increasing number of abortion cases, was expected to be followed by snmilar action at other hospitals.

The nurses at Stepping Hill, only four of whom are Catholics, have individually expressed a growing distaste at what they have described as the practice of "throwing human beings into the dustbin." Some nurses are known to have resigned.

"Religion does not really enter into this, although there are Catholics among us," one of them said. "We are repelled by what we have to do."

They also resent the fact that abortions are leap-frogging over a two-year wait for other gynecological operations. bne hospital official said the abortion operation "is repellent to most trained nurses. This has been brewing for some time."

Among AU Nurses A London spokesman for the Royal College of Nursing said: "There is a growing concern about the increase in these operations. There are hardly enough nurses to be able to staff hospitals adequately to deal with other complaints. This places an additional burden on an already overworked nursing staff."

Miss Evelyn Coulson, president of the Catholic Nurses' Guild, said: " "There is· quite definitely a growing revolt among all nurses-not only Catholic ones."

And other· spokesmen for nurses, hospitals and gynecologists have admitted increasing unrest.

Gynecologists Oppose The National Association of (Operating) Room Theater Nurses reported worry and concern among a number of its members.

Several eminent gynecologists have spoken out strongly against abortions.

One, Prof. Ian Morris of St. Mary's Hospital, Manchester, said: "The whole operation is a horrible distasteful duty. If I were beginning my medical career knowing what I know now about abortions I would never choose gynecology. I detest the operation. It is a complete reversal of all my medical training.

"The whole aim is to save life not perform this particular form of homicide. I can never look at the tissues I have removed during the termination of a pregnancy wnthout revulsion.

It may be a jelly but it is after all a human life that I am destroying."

Neme S()c:refi'G1ry CHICAGO (NC)-Father William F. Graney, former assistant editor of the New World, Chicago's archdiocesan newspaper, has been named full-time executive secretary of the National Federation of Priests' Councils.

Selected by the federation's officers, Father Graney is the group's first full-time secretary.

Of Calfo~ll1ia-'8Be~~~nson PackageD. SACRAMENTO (NC) - Six bills, criticized by opponents as an invasion of family and human rights, currently are pending before California lawmakers at the capitol here.

Involving birth control, sterilization, giving contraceptives to minors, limiting sizes of families and abolition of the state abortion restrictions, the bills are known as the "Beilenson package." .

The measures are sponsored

by State Sen. Anthony Beilenson of Beverly Hill.s. Two of the bills already have passed the Senate.

At a hearing on a bill to repeal abortion restrictions (June 30) Joseph T. Noonan, law professor at the University of California, Berkley, and the Rev. Charles Carroll, an Episcopal priest who directs the Center for Huinan Values, opposed the measure.

Rent Strike Housong Project Tenants Withold Funds To Pay for Repairs

NEWARK (NC) - Without fanfare or publicity, a tenant league organized through an interfaith group at a municipal housing project here has carried on a successful three-month rent strike.

A spokesman for the tenant league claimed 60 perecnt ,of 1,200 families in the 14-building housing project have been turning over rent payments to the league instead ,of the Newark Housing Authority.

The tenants have served notice on the housing authority that if conditions and repairs are not soon corrected by the authority, the league will make them out of the withheld rent fund. , The league was launched by Father Thomas C. Comerford of Queen of Angels parish, who has been residing at the project since December, and Sister' Maureen McDonough of nearby St. Vincent's convent, who has .been , working at the projec~ The league has been assisted by the Newark Legal Services, . an anti-poverty program to aid, the poor with legal problems.

The league has been advised of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision, which held a tenant forced to make repairs because a 'landlord failed to provide suitable living conditions, could deduct cost of repairs from rental , payment.

The league has complajned the housing authority has littered basements and hallways; failed . to provide adequate police pro. tection to combat open traffic in narcotics and mounting crime; failed to maintain premises and play areas properly, 'and has been lax in its attitude toward tenants who litter hallways and damage property.

\

Tenant leagues have been formed at other projects operated by the housing authority, but other rent strikes have not' met with the same success. Conditions at the housing project have been called to the attention of city. officials, the police department and representatives of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. ~.

!Fo(]'{f(l,l!J1alteo

WASHINGTON (NC)-Forced passage of a $2.7 billion hospital construction bill has been called "most for.tunate" by Msgr.

Harrold A. Murray, director of the United States Catholic Conference department of health affairs.

On behalf of that department and the Catholic Hospital Association's 900 health care facilities, the monsignor had sent letters urging members of Congress to pass the ,legislation supporting new hospital construction, modernization and corollary seryice. • Congress did that when a total of 76 senators-53 Democrats and 23 Republicans-voted to extend the Hill-Burton Act for another three years. Only 19 Republicans voted to uphold President Nixon's veto that the legislation was too expensive .

The House had voted earlier 279 to 98 override the veto.

Important to People ..It would have been most unfortunate for the Hill-Burton program to be terminated without something to take its place," said Msgr. Murray.

He added that the legislation, which has helped build health care facilities in 4,000 communities since its inception in 1946, "has meant a great deal not only to al! types of hospitals in the country, but more importantly to the people they serve."

Although Msgr. Murray expected the veto, it has been 10 years since Congress last overrode one by passing into law a fe~teral pay raise protested by the late President Eisenhower.

Primary Objection The veto could have been thwarted, the priest said, had the White House alerted Republi· cans about its objections at an earlier date. The primary objection was the section requiring that all appropriations for major health programs next year be spen~

'1 ile President also wanted t.~ :;witch the act's financial assistance program from outright grants tO'loan guarantees. The popular Hill-Burton program authorizes direct grants more than 5:350 million in excess of the President's proposed budget for fiscal year 1971.

Special Report to President Asks Help for Blue Colla r Workers WASHINGTON (NC)-An estimated 70 million Americans are fed. up with being trapped in the lower - middle socio - economic class while their taxes pay for programs to upgrade the poor.

This was the message received by the President in a special report which concluded that bluecollar frustrations could erupt soon into "militancy at the bargaining table" if major political parties continue neglecting workers' needs.

The group which prepared the report under leadership of outgoing Labor Secretary George P. Shultz, offered 11 ways to improve the lot of the blue collar worker which it said is "eluded and forgotten."

The proposals, which took a year to compile, fall into tnree categories: improving earning capacity, improving social status and assistance from federal social programs. They range from calling for new t.ax advantages to issuance of postage stamps honoring craftsmen.

Child Care Costs The improved earnin~ proposals call for broadened training programs now limited to the poor. greatly enlarged adult education for enhancement of, job skills and tax subsidies of day care for children of working mothers.

The suggested solution is to allow families earning up to $10,000 to deduct child care costs from federal taxes. The present eligibility ceiling for care is $6,900. The charted change would involve an additional estimated $60 million expenditure by the government.

In a recent memo to the White

Vatican Asserts Pope Received Leaders Openly, VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican has denied reports that Pope Paul VI held a secret meeting with three leaders of a national liberation movement in Portuguese Africa.

At a meeting of the rebel leaders in Rome, Portugal was denounced as a colonial power that holds onto its African territories with "repression and terror."

The charge was made by Marcelino dos Santos, head of the coordinating committee for the rebel groups fighting Portuguese forces in Angola, Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea.

Some rebel leaders have accused the Portuguese bishops' in the African territories of supporting the repressive measures against the liberation movements.

The Vatican said that the three rebel leaders-Marcelino dos Santos of Mazambique, Amilcar Cabral of Guinea and Agostino Neto of Angola-had been received openly by Pope Paul "within the strictly religious framework of the weekly general' audience."

Spoke Briefly The Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano, said that the Pope, "because of his mission, receives everybody who asks to have the comfort of his blessing."

The paper said that Pope Paul "addressed to them words of greeting and of exhortation to be faithful to the Christian principles in which they were educated."

One Italian newspaper had claimed that the audience was "s~cret" and "was not registered" or published in L'Osservatore Romano.

House, the study group warned that the government's continued attention to 'poverty-level families. spawns resentment-and even racial and ethnic hostility -among the blue collar workers struggling to survive on annual incomes between $5,000-$10,000.

'Dead-End Job.s' "As taxpayers they help pay the freight for 'free riders' and get none of the apparent help," the report stated, adding that 40 percent of the nation's work force fall in this lower-middle class group.

Most of these people, it said, are locked into dead-end jobs with little opportunity to increase their earnings because of lack of formal education and job upgrading programs. In addition, this group has been hit hardest by the inflationary squeeze and a tax structure that "offers little relief."

The report, drafted by Assistant Labor Secretary Jerome M. Rosow, was spurred by the President who last summer gave administration officials a magazine article. about blue-collar problems with a hand-written note saying "This is very disturbing.

What can we do about it."

Urges Catholics To Study Bible VATiCAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI has urged Catholics not only to listen to the Bible as it is read in parts during the Mass but also to read and study it. v The Pope told a general audience that "it is not sufficient" only to listen to biblical passages as they are read during the Mass.

"To listen is not sufficient," he said. "It is necessary to meditate, that is, to assimilate. ThereI fore the reading of sacred scripture is necessary. Its study is necessary."

The Church, he continued, "recognizes the immutability of its (the Bible's) teaching. It recognizes the validity and the permanent authenticity of the Word of God which it contains.

Ago ~n$t W Cmerll WASHINGTON (NC) -The president of the National Organization for Women has asked the secretary of labor not to award contracts to the more than 1,300 major U.S. corporations she cited for not providing equal job opportunities for women.

Aileen Hernandez, the president, demanded that Secretary James D. Hodgson investigate those corporations and strengthen sex discrimination Buidelines.

She also asked him to refuse program proposals from companies discriminating against women.

In her complaint, she accused the Defense Department, which deals with companies employing half of the Ii!: million workers covered by anti-discrimination laws, of telling companies they do not have to obey the law as far as sex discrimination is concerned.

The complaint from the group pushing women's liberation asked for compliance reviews of fcdt'ral contractors among the 1,000 larftest industrials, 50 transportation companies, 50 utilities and 47 other companies.

At a press conference here Mrs. Hernandez said hell" organization "is outrafted that the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance is accepting affirmative action pr~­ grams that do not contain equal opportunity for women."

She added that the offic~ "1"0 r.ot requiring that federal contractors analyze categories to determine' if under-utilization of women exists. Consequently, no goals and timetables nre being set to correct deficiencies on the basis of sex."

She, asked that "top staffs of compliance agencies and all compliance teams" include women "in numbers equal to their 1'E'!m,entation in the population."

In addition, she called for the [qual Employment Opportunity Commission to hold hearings to investigate "discrimination in public and private employment in Washington, D.C."

Ohio Strengthens Anti-Smut Laws COLUMBUS (NC)-Gov. James A. Rhodes has signed into law a measure designed to bolster Ohio's laws against obscenity.

The law separately defines materials and performances classed as obscene and harmful to minors, and also brings the laws in line with recent rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The new law provides a maximum penalty of $10,000 fin.. and from four to seven years in prison for violators of the obscenity section of the bill. It also provides a maximum fine of $5,000 and a year in prison if the material or performance is harmful to minors rather than offensive.

Father Carr Heads Jesuits' Mission BOSTON (NC)-Father Robert J. Carr, S.J., 59, a native of Cambridge, has been named superior of the Jesuit Mission in Jamaica, West Indies.

He has 102 Jesuit missionaries under his jurisdiction.

The appointment was made by Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Jesuit superior general in Rome.

Father Carr who joined the Jesuits in 1929 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1941, served as administrator at Weston Colle'ge, Weston, Mass., and as a pastor here before joining the Jamaica mission in 1964.

Camp Farms extended lI~ion coverag(~ to 11,lGO more acres of grape production in California and Arizona. settlements following the came contract signing by six more growers which together produce an estimated 2,125,000 boxes of t£ble grapes annually.

Growers in the Arvin-Lamont area included Elmoc Vineyards, TIne., and its subsidiary Leo Gagosian William Mosesian, Elm'lcho Farms and Eugene Nalbandian Inc. The union was also the victor in a re-run of an election whic..'1 it lost earlier last week with workers on 33 small farms in the Coachella Valley. The workers voted 168 to 4 to ratify an agr6!ement between the union and the Coachella·Imperial distributors signed the previous Sunday.

When the election was conducted June 23, the union lost 152-to-46. However, the election was voided when both growers and the union agreed there had been irregularities. Both sides also said opponents of the agreement had falsely stated that signing with the union would mean a loss of jobs on other farms.

WASHINGTON (NC)-"Those of us' in the ethnic bag~' can, learn from blacks "about the importance Of cultural identity," said a priest here who lias taken a good hard look-in print no less-at how he came to this opinion.

In the July issue of Washingtonian, a monthly magazine published here, Msgr. Geno Baroni wrote that working class white ethnics have not yet realized the many problems they have in common with the blacks they're "so hung up on." He said he believes there is an "untapped energy in the .working class that could eventually ,lead to coalitions with the blacks. ' Immigran~'s Son He based this opinion on his experiences as an Italian immigrant's son growing up in Pennslvania mining towns, in later civil rights endeavors and in his current involvement with ethnicrelated struggles as director of program development for the United States Catholic Conference's Task Force on Urban Problems.

Msgr. Baroni was responsible recently for the first Catholicsponsored workshop on urban and ethnic development.

In the magazine article he emphasized many of the points he made to nearly 100 community leaders who attended the workshop here. He blamed the eagerness of ethnic groups "to make it," for cutting off their European roots too fast.

"Now we are discovering that we aren't all making it, and we are learning just how important those, roots are. We are beginning to celebrate our differences instead of insisting that everybody has to be the same."

However, Msgr. Baroni admitted that he's "scared to death" that accentuating the differences may lead to regression "like Hitler's Germany, trying to recapture the past by persecuting minorities and dissenters. , "That speech of Hitler's in 1932 calling for 'law and order' gives me the willies. The fear is there in the working class along with the independence' and the individualism. Somehow we have to transplant that ethic of working hard and making it into the 1970s," he added.

Discusses Ethnic Background The 39-year-old priest reminisced about his ethnic background by describing the food his family ate by necessity, but which symbolized their togetherness. The food was purchased at a company owned store.

Now a constant dieter who has lost more than 40 pounds in' past eight months, Msgr. Baroni remembered how his family ate "mushrooms, snails, gizzard, tripe, brains, and dandelions Italian soul food.' We raised rab-' bits and caught squirrels. Rabbit was my favorite meat. I ate it because that's what poor people ate."

However, he insisted, "although we were materially poor, psychologically and culturally we were very rich." :rhe monsignor said his family came to this country "with a strong family set up, a strong work ethnic, fantastic culture and a hope for life in America."

Black families were different because they "were scattered and their culture was ripped apart," he added.

MONSYGNOR GENO BARONI come to believe it. Now they are not so sure. They have become fearful, and the competition from the blacks scares them. They have become .resentful of the blacks and the students.

Re21der's Digest Mentality The priest thinks "the real problem is lack of social conscience on' everyones part. America is pervaded with !i 'Reader's Digest mentality.' People are interested in learning how to make it rather than how to be a person.

"On the spiritual end, this translates into individualism: Save your own soul, and to hell with anyone else's.

A clergyman has to resist just being a, handout service to the poor and instead must work for social change, said Msgr. Baroni who as a teenager was fired for trying to start a union as he worked a 16-hour day in a Jamestown, N.Y. plywood factory. . ,"Blacks used a different language' and different words, but they don't want handouts either.

I believe that as the ethnic groups become more and more self-confident, they will recognize that they have a lot in common with the blacks. Maybe they will start telling Spiro Agnew, what you're saying about pseudo-intellectuals is fine, but what are you doing for me?

Stress· Saf'ety Of Culebrans SAN JUAN (NC)-Bishops of Puerto Rico's four dioceses announced here that they support the safety of residents of Culebra, an island on the U.S. Navy's gunnery practice range.

The five prelates, Archbishop Luis Aponte of San Juan and Bishops Alfredo Mendez of Arecibo, Fremiot Torres of Ponce, Rafael Grovas of Caguas and Juan de Dios Lopez, auxiliary bishop of San Juan, commented after an extraordinary meeting here that they resolved: "To share the legitimate concern of the people of Culebra for their safety and tranquility, endangered by the use of ·that small island as a base for maneuvers and target ·practice."

The' bishops urged authorities to' "listen to the just outcry of· the inhabitants of that Puerto Rican soil requesting permanent respect for their rights and the firm recognition of the ,superiority of the value of human, life over any other material value."

Culebra's residents are under frequent fire from Navy longrange guns that periodicali>; shell the 10-square-mile island. Islanders claim that shells, occasionally land in playgrounds, backya~ds and other pORulated areas.

the working class from any agenda for the nation. Out of 90 million people in the northern industrial states, 40 million are Catholics, and most are working class," he said.

"Like the blacks, they are burdened by the lion's share of taxes. They are dissatisfied with government services, fearfUl of job security and worried about raising money to send their kids to college.

"We have to form coalitions around these problems," he added. "I see this as a better route than talking about brotherhood.

You can't talk brotherhood to barbers, mailmen and factory workers."

Assist Working CRass Msgr. Baroni believes "the hope lies not in intellectualizing, but in a real, live problem-solving agenda." ,He said he hopes to find and support with other clergy, 'young' people who want to do something for their working class through the democratic process.

Msgr. Baroni pointed out he is also interested ih finding a new religious ministry to the police profession, to which he said the clergy has related "in the worst possible way."

The monsignor, who has served in working class parishes, thinks "that priests have a decisive role to play in the years ahead. The urban crisis occurs at a time when many of us are wondering who we are and what we can do.

"Here, it seems to me, is precisely the opportunity that we have been searching for. What the nation is facing is primarily a spiritual crisis, a failure of will.

As a nation we lack commitment, not technology or material resources," he said.

"In the neighborhoods I am speaking of, the parish church is the major cohesive force, sometimes the only cohesive force," he added. Perhaps the churches can lead the working class away from guilt and fear toward a reordering of our national priorities. Perhaps we can help the nation develop a commitment to justice."

Legislator to Seek 'New Abortion Law LOS ANGELES (NC)-A California legislator, co-author of a 1967 state law whicil eased abortion restrictions, said he would sponsor legislation to make the killing of a viable fetus an act of homicide.

Assembly Majority Leader Craig Biddle of Riverside said he plans to introduce the legislation under Assembly emergency procedures as a result of a ruling by the California Supreme Court, which held an unborn fetus is not a "human being" within the meaning of California's 98-yearold homicide statutes.

The high court ruling was made in the case of a man accused of deliberately causing the death of an unborn fetus car'ried by his former wife.

Finds Visit to Flower Farm i.

Profitable and -P~le,aslant .By Marilyn and Joseph Roderick

. Through ·the years we have dealt with a number of mail order houses in' ordering our garden supplies. Most these orders are made through catalogs and anyone whb orde~s this way knows that there are problems involved.

For one thing many of the i items pictured or list,ed may done so I packed up said children, and said friends, and be unknown to the purchaser packed them off with me to the and, as everyone knows, local public library. Fortunately

of

pictures can be deceiving and words are a poor substitute for the real thing. ' With this in mind we made up our minds to visit White Flower Farms in Litchfield, Conn. last weekend. It was our anniversary and the thought of getting away from the kids for one day was enough to push us into the rather long trip to Litchfield.

Additionally, we had received a notice that White Flower Farms was conducting its annual clearance sale and we felt this would give us an added· incentive.

The trip was well worth while.

Litchfield is a beautiful old New England town which .was worth' seeing in itself so we were given added pleasure the two hours or so of touring we were able to squeeze into the trip.

Classifies Catalog What I was particularly interested in seeing was White - Flower Farms collection of dwarf evergreens which are rather unique. Of course, it goes without saying that these were not on sale, but I was able to see most of the ones we were interested in, in varIous stages of development.

Aside from that we were able to get a first hand look 'at many of the plants we have been curious about and were also able to get a few tips on reproducing some of the plants we have or.dered in the past.

Most of the things on sale were perennials but I did manage to buy an Exbury azalea, a small one, for $2, five fuchsia for a total of $2, a number of rock garden plants and several odds and ends. The sale was a good one, but as far as I was concerned it was secondary to the opportunity of classifying their catalog for future reference.

BROOKLYN (NC)-A lopsided 81 per cent majority, respondi!lg to a Brooklyn diocese "opinionaire," favored continued operation of the diocesan grade and high school system despite rising costs.

Msgr. Eugene J. Molloy, diocesan secretary of education, said he was disappointed that only 65,980 responded to the poll in which 580,000 forms were distributed. There are 206,000 students in the diocese's 241 schools system.

Dr. Bernard E. Donovan, planning and research director for the diocese and former superintendent of New York City public schools, made' known results of the poll. Msgr. Molloy said. the school system currently is operating at a $5 million deficit.

The majority said tuition alone should not be the major basis for support of the school system.

More than half favored parish and diocesan subsidies; 55 per cent held the diocese should collect special funds for education, particularly from more affluent parishes.

The 81 per cent voted against a suggestion. of closing the schools, replacing them with . Saturday or Sunday "education" centers for religious instructions.

Average tuition in a parish elementary school i~ $105 a year, . compared with $20 in 1966.

Average high school tuition is $600 a year (double the rate a year ago), which compares with $185 in 1966.

Sale dissenter from the courtcil's adoption of a policy affirming the principle of separation of church and state was the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, which along with Catholic gro'ups and others, seeks public funds to finance certaiJ:!' aspects of secular programs in church-reiated schools.

The council, a coordinating body of nine major national Jewish organization!>, condemned "purchase of secular service" as "indistinguishable in fact and effect from state financing of religious education." Such services usually involve the state's paying part of the salaries of ,parochial school teachers.

Demands for secular services are "manifestly incompatible with the oft-repeated arguments of parochial school advocates in support of the:r refusal to send their children to public schools," the council upheld.

Before the delegates ended their annual meeting here, they agreed that "equally lacking in merit" was the argument that if denied public funds religious schools would 'have to close, thus adding to the public tax burden.

The council also specifically criticized a proposed "voucher system" which would permit state grflnts to parents who could use them for children in public or private schools.

The legislation, which strikes all references to husband and wife in the state's divorce' law, leaves it up to the judge to decide which spouse should make payments'.

"It's a little step toward equal rights for women," said Rep. Richard Allen, sponsor of the bill. "It passed (60-23), but without as strong support from the ladies as I might have hoped."

Five of the six female members of the House voted against' the bill. The sixth was absent.

The proposed constitutional amendment, now before the Senate Judiciary Committee, forbids discrimination on the basis of age or sex.

"It simply eliminates those sexual references, which' women's rights leaders find so offensive in the old law. Custody of the children has always been

left to the discretion of the judge, but the law always specifled that the husband must make payments to the wife. That may on very rare occasions have caused injustice," Allen said.

He added "when the wife is the dominant person in the fami1y and when she is the breadwinner, then she should be the one to pay the support."

AIJen said he ,is happily married, the father of two children "and anyway, my wife isn't wealthy.",

Help

For Lebanese NEW YORK (NC) - Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the overseas relief agency of U. S. Catholics, and the Catholic Near E;ast Welfare Association are providing $20,000 worth of aid to more than 40,000 Lebanese villagers uprooted by artillery warfare.

CRS has also shipped 50 tons of clothing and three tons of antibiotics from the United States to Beirut, and has ~r­ ranged for the shipment there of 170 tons of powdered milk from people in the Netherlands.

The Lebanese villagers were displaced by extension of ArabIsraeli shooting also southern Lebanon along Israel's nothern frontier.

Msgr. John G. Nolan, president of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine, sister agency of the New York-based Catholic Near East Welfare Association, said the relief effort was urgent "because international agencies such as the hard-pressed United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) are permitted only marginal assistance to war victims who are not Palestinian refugees."

"It's becoming increasingly evident," Msgr. Nolan said, "that the prospects of a wider war in the Holy Land grow in direct relation to the expansion of the crisis of displaced persons."

He said Pope Paul VI has made a personal donation to the Pontifical Missions' relief effort in southern Lebanon.

Church Supports Draft Resistance LINCOLN (NC)-Delegates to the Church of the Brethren's 184th annual conference here in Nebraska voted 754 to 103 to give equal support to conscientious objectors and nonviolent draft resisters.

Historically one of the nation's "peace churches,". the Brethren have always backed conscientious objectors who have refused military combat service but accepted alternative noncombat or civilian service. The new conference statement "commends" in addition "open nonviolent cooperation with the system of conscription."

An amendment to the statement added that military recruiting on the church's six liberal arts campuses was inconisistent with the traditional Brethren opposition to war.

General Edward Logan.'s Sister Completes Her 54th Transcri.ption i,n Brail·le

ST. PAUL (NC)-"To incorporate all things in Christ," Catholics must turn to the liturgy, prayer and public service, Cardinal John Carberry of St. Louis declared here.

As keynote speaker at the sixth Wanderer Forum. the cardinal said that all three elements, not one or two, are necessary to overcome a growing secularism ;n the world.

Encyclicals in Braille Moreover, she has rendered into Braille most of the important Papal .encyciicals of the last 50 years, which, she confesses, require concentrated effort, in contrast to such beloved but lighthearted works as Myles Con-, nolly's "Mr. Blue," and Paul Gallico's "The Snow.Goose."

As she s'its in good light, plinking away with the stylus,her eyes are as steady as her hands are busy, and if she looks up to answer a question, she first carefully marks her place so that in an instant she can get back to . her industry again.

How does she program her work? Sometimes the Trinity College depositary sends her special requests, but, as likely as not, requests come also from students who have heard of her.

A Connecticut student wanted the chapter of a difficult book on science, a New Orleans student wanted a transcription of a book of prose and poetry, and a blind child in Vermont needed a portion of a textbook that was a "must," if the child was to keep up' with the rest of his class.

Inspired by Others' Needs "To the uninitiated," Miss Logan confides, almost in a whisper, "this work ~ight seem like drudgery, but drudgery it has never been. In fact, there would be many books, that ! might never have attempted if some other person hadn't needed them."

Then she adds: "Who could not feel young again doing the pages of a history book for a blind girl in the ~hird grade of a school at Rome, Georgia, or feel meditative doing The Essays of Alice Meynell or Gardeii's "Introduction to the Philosophy of Saint Thomas Aquinas."

Along with Father Peyton's "All For Her," Miss Logan has recently completed Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," and she confesses tha'; her spirits were specially gay, though full of old-time thoughts, while she completed Mark Twain's classic, "Hucklebe: ry Finn." She refers jovially to (be library of things she has c%-

Reared Near Perkins Institute As a child, Martha lived opposite the renowned Perkins Institute, the Massachusetts School for the Blind, and she recalls the hush tliat came ov.er the playpaths when blind children came walking by. "Those are scenes which _are etched into my brain never to be erased," she comments.

Louis Braille She speaks with equal awe of Louis . Braille, . who devised in 1829 the Braille alphabet which provides a mode of expression for words, .music and mathematics.

"Look at this instrument," she says, holding still for a moment the tool which she had been busily plying. '!It looks like an awl, doesn't it? What irony! it was an awl that Louis Braille was playing with when he was blinded at age three. God chooses strange ways to bequeath His lessons to us, doesn't He?" Martha likes to recite the history which is so familiar to her.

"That poor man was never able to realize that he had given to the human race one of its greatest benefactions and one of its deepest lessons. He didn't live to see his' system, one of many systems, catch on because of its inherent advantages. He died in poverty.

Maryknoll Names Editor, Director NEW YORK (NC) - Philip . Scharper, prominent editor, writer and teacher, has been appointed edito!-in-chief of Orbis Books, pub:ishing house of the Maryknoll Fathers.

William A. Coleman, former assistant vice-president of King Features, was named director of media relations of Maryknoll's recently reorganized department of social communications.

Scharper until recently was editor-in-chief of the Catholic publishing firm of Sheed and Wara. He was also assistant professor of English at Fordham University and associate editor of the weekly Commonweal. He has written many articles for the Catholic press and lectured frequently at Catholic universities.

Coleman had served as associate editor of the American Weekly, cational Sunday newspaper magazine. He founded and headed Fordham's radio and TV division, directed the annual radio and TV institute of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and was a radio and TV consultant of the New York archdiocese.

• The appointments were announced by Father Miguel d'Escoto, M.M., director of the Maryknoll social communications departmer-t. who also cited the reasons for its reorganization.

Mainly, he said, they are to implement the Maryknoll Missioners' basic purpose of encouraging Catholics "to exercise their missionary responsibility of sharing actively in mak~ng the Church an effective sign of salvation in mission regions" and to "disseminate knowledge of the peoples of mission lands, their problems and aspirations for truth, freedom, justice and peace."

Continued from Page Eleven described to him a method used to send messages when light would have betrayed the positions of deployed troops.

"But the method Louis had devised of embossing coded relief points on paper by use of a stylus was distinctly better than Valentin Hauy's raised printing and Charles Barbier's sonographic point system, although Louis was admittedly indebted to both. Braille kept Barbier's point system and devised a way of arbitrarily indicating letters an<;l other signs by various ar, rangements of six dots, placed in an oblong, which permits 63 varying combinations," she says.

Martha is glad that modern improvements have made it possible to produce press runs of popular works by multicopy Braille machinery. "The things we do now," she explains, "are really called custom-Brailling.

They are things that will never call for big press runs but which will always be in demand by a blind person somewhere, the Papal encyclicals, for example."

The Brailled books which Martha has completed, all hand bound, along with the. repository of other Brailled-books of the Trinity College library, are listed at the Library of Congress, at the Xavier Library for the Blind in New Yopk, and at the American Printing House for the Blind, in Louisville. Each book is an impressive, ' formidable thing.

"Someone 'will know that someone has been working," Martha' jokes, "even if he's blind."

With the introduction of talking books on records and tapes, and particularly the recent introduction of cassettes, Martha is frequently asked if the Braille system is not being out-dated, She has a ready answer. She explains that many blind persons also have impaired hearing.

Oppose. Changing, Mexico/s Laws MEXICO CITY (NC) - Two old-time Mexican politicians, including a former president, have voiced opposition to changing Mexico's existing anti-,Church laws.

Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceo of Cuernavaca had suggested a dialogue on the laws with the candidates in this year's presid~ntial elections.

Bishop Mendez had said that the anti-Church laws, which stem from the 1917 Constitution, are not enforced and are largely ignored. (The Church, for example, cannot own property or run schools, but Ca~holic schools exist because they are registered in the names of parent groups.)

This evasion of the law, Bishop Mendez said, is wrong because "we, the very -people who ought to obey the laws, because they are instrumehts of service, are the ones who disobey those pertaining to religion."

Former President Emilio Portes Gil (1928-30) called the suggestion for a dialogue on the laws "out of order," and Ignacio Ramos Praslov, one of the few surviving writers of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, said that "bishops and priests should be content with the present state of affairs."

Release of F'riests Eases Tensions BILBAO (NC)-Eight of the nine Basque priests arrested in June for speaking out on social and politicial issues have been released through a legal technicality and returned to their parishes here in Spain. The other, Father Jose Antonio Calzada, chose to qmtin,ue" serv.i~g his one-month sentence.

Following the advice of Archbishop' Jose Ciraraa Lachiondo, bishop o.f Santander' and administrator of the Bilbao diocese, the nine petitioned the minister of defense, Juan Castenon de Mena, for their release.

Castenon said he agreed to free the prisoners because they had been arrested more than six months after the commission of their alleged misdemeanors. This violated a statute of limitations, for such charges he said.

The freeing of the priests in this manner avoided further confrontation between the Church and the government on most of the issues surrounding the arrests. '

Professionals Aid Parish Councils DETROIT (Nq-A group of professionally-trained I a y men here has formed an organization. to assist pastors and parish council officials in the Detroit archdiocese to carry out their spiritual and administrative programs.

The group, known as the Confraternity of St. Stephen, is headed by program director James J. Gery.

He explained the program would, among other things, offer in-service training sessions for choral directors, liturgists, lectors, commentators and other laymen who assist in parish worship programs.

It is my intention in this and two subsequent columns

An administration which engages

in such an action is dangerously out of touch with what is going on in substantial minorities within the country and is, be it noted, completely unaware of how near explosion college campuses have always been during the month of May. 2. The shooting of the students at Kent State and Jackson State was murder, committed perhaps in time of stress and strain, but still the type of behavior that simply cannot be tolerated from the law enforcement officers in any supposedly civilized country.

What is even more depressing about it is that one can be quite sure that nobody is going to be' in any way punished for the murders. We now exist in a situation where students not only can be beaten by law enforcement officers without the officers fearing any legal reprisal, but they can even be killed: tra~ic development for the Republic.

College Crisis 3. The polarization rhetoric in which various members of the administration have from time to time engaged is inexcusable. It may be a way to win an election or to keep one's rating high in the public opinion polls but it is not a way to govern a nation.

The vice-president insists that he will lower his voice when the leaders of the New Left lower theirs. I hold no brief for such loudmouthed new leftists as David -. Dellinger in his idiotic speech at the Ellipse protest, but the point is that David Dellinger is not the Vice-President of the United States and is not responsible for holding a society together in a time of crisis.

With these observations as a framework, let me go on to a number of comments about the College crisis itself.

Protesters Different 1. If, as I have said in previous columns, the peace movement has played into the hands of the administratiQn by engaging in activities which were bound to antagonize the majority of the country, so the administration played right into the hands of the most lunatic of the campus radicals and delivered up to these radicals - much like John the Baptist's head on a silver platter-the sympathies of a very substantial proportion of the youthful population.

The one redeeming aspect of all this is that the New Left is

the administration offered it.

The new leftist leadership gave its standard packaged speeches but didn't seem to be able to take any sort of active command of the direction or the nature of the protest.

2. The protesters this time around were relatively different kinds of students. The elite universities-Harvard, Berkley, University of Chicago-were relativelv quiet, and the state univerisities, peopled for the most part by students whom the radical New Left would view as "squares," that is to say, schools like Kent State and Southern IIlinois-are institutions where, until recently, protesters and radicals were only a tiny handful of students.

Much of the new lrreed of pro· . testers are very similar to the Eagle Scout, ROTC leader who was murdered by the national guard in Ohio.

Must Discipline Lunatics 3. Most of the protest was astonishingly peaceful though the media characteristically played up the violence and the disruption. There was, given the scope of the unrest and the intensity of feeling, a remarkable amount of self-restraint.

Indeed, in many instances the new leftists were elbowed out o( the way. The University of Chicago student newspaper, for example, chose to denounce the.

SDS as vandals and to admonish its' readers that they might just as well face the fact that most students in the university were liberals who have permitted themselves to be paralyzed by liberal guilt feelin~s and now ought to get rid of those guilt feelings and seek out means of liberal political action.

4. Neither students nor faculty have yet demonstrated the. capacity to restrain the more manic and violent of their membership. The philosophy which says "everybody does their own thin~" mayor may not be tolerable on the university campus but when members of the univ· sity community propose to engage in political action which will influence the larger society, then they must lean either to discipline their lunatic fringe or ha ve their good efforts go to waste.

Gery said confraternity members would also' provide public relations consultation services and fund-raising programs to meet the needs of individual parishes. He· said the group would also provide trained personnel for parish census work and to conduct a reader service to determine what religious periodicals might be best suited for the parishes.

Confraternity members include laymen whose professional background in business education, pUblic relations and other fields enables them to develop parish spiritual and administrative programs, Gery said.

A fUTURE PRIEST

Favor Ordinataon Of Marri·ed Men YAOUNDE (NC)---The bishops of Central Africa have asked the Holy See for permission to ordain married men to the priesthood.

The request was made in a letter signed by Archbishop Paul Damais, S.J., of Fort Lamy, Chad, president of the Central Africa Bishops' Conference, following a decision of the conference's plenary assembly here.

In the letter addressed to Cardinal Jean Villot, papal secretary of state, the bishops declared their 'support of priestly celibacy. But the decline in vocations for the priesthood in their territories, they said, had caused them to ask for permission to ordain married men priests in order to "answer the most elementary pastoral needs."

The central African bishops said also that in their area "the virtue of chastity is not yet understood by all." For this reason, they added, priests should be able to exercise their ministry "in a .community life, which assures them of the spiritual support and human equilibrium they need so much."

Delicious? Yes! But' even more important, it's nutritious! most Americans enjoy a 'nutritious meal at least 'onc~l a' 'daybec'ause we have learned the importance of a balanced diet. We know ·that to stay healthy, certain foods should be eaten and other foods are to be avoided. We have learned to' shun an excess of fats and carbohydrates, while storing up on high 'protein foods.'

But have you heard about "the Protein Gap"? Did you know that almost two-thirds of the world are suffering from malnutrition-lack of protein foods? Did you know that it is possible for a person to look healthy and still be. undernourished? Did you know that thousands of the world's poor are literally starving to death, and that millions go to bed hungry every night? Did you know that in some countries because of nutrition deficiencies, as many as 1/3 of the children die before reaching school age?

Lack of protein in one's diet has drastic effects. One's mind becomes dull; reflexes are slower; the susceptibility to disease in· creases drastically; and one becomes generally apathetic.

This, in turn, can affect the whole economy of a developing nation. There is a vicious circle: lack of food-to feed the peopDe -to work for the country-to better themselves.'

America is a rich country. In contrast to most of the developing nations,' we prodilce and consume tons and tons of food each year. Each American eats approximately 211 pounds of meat each year! In India the yearly average is only 4 Ibs. of meat per person.

Yet, the great American Sin is not our superabundance of natural and economic resources. Rather, it is the fact that the individual of our society refuses to believe' tl1at he can help, that· his single contribution can make a difference in the outcome of our world.

You can help! Your single sacrafice can change the world!

Thurs., July 9,

By BARBARA WARD

Whether the North would have accepted its provisions. we shall never know. Still misled

by America, the South refused and opened the catastrophic rout~ to renewed civil war. which rages on and now threatens to engulf the rest of South East Asia.

Let us look at the arguments against seeking a negotiated settlement-which would, presumably, imply enormously strong pressure on the government of South Vietnam to accept both negotiations and the participation of other groups with real following - liberals, Buddhists, Vietcong-in the shaping of the settlement.

The first is that, however disguised, a negotiated settlement which brought Communists to power in the South-would pave the way to a reunited Vietnam under Communist control and then, inevitably, to Communism in the neighboring states.

This point is c.losely connected with the second argument.

Those who fear the result of negotiations claim that if America withdraws speedily enough to induce South Vietnam to make a settlement, no other threatened government will believe America's word again and civil wars, with Russian or Chinese backing, will break out all round the world and end with Communist takeovers.

To this somewhat involved and exceedingly pessimistic prediction, three questions must be put. First, do nations have civil wars just because outside influences are at work? Second, do they welcome and obey the outsiders, if victory is secured?

Thirdly, does it matter to America if there are Communist takeovers?

Russia Unpopular

The answer to the first is, clearly: No. Civil wars require enormous 'grievances and the despair and revolt of a sizeable section of the people. Otherwise. what is there to assist?

Castro and Che Guevera found this out when they tried exporting revolution in Latin America.

There may be civil wars on America's Southern frontiers but only if conditions are as intol· erable as they were under Battista. In that case, it is far better to keep out.

The answer to the second is also: "No'." Russia came into Eastern Europe under the best possible conditions, liberating the peoples from Hitler's appalling oppression. Today, it is a safe bet that Russia is more unpopular there than anywhere else. in the world.

Study Schools Ethnic Balance, Racism HOUSTON (NC)-A study of ethnic balance and alleged racism in Calveston-Houston diocesan schools is underway as a result of charges by the Houston Catholic Interracial Council.

Leonel Castillo, a man caught in the middle as both diocesan employees and council members, volunteered to conduct the study after the school system came under fire.

At the diocesan school board's June meeting, the council accused it of operating a dual system - one with very Iittlll racial-ethnic balance and one that is "both separate and unequal."

Castillo, executive director of the diocese's Catholic Council on Community Relati<1ns, said interracial council objections may result in reqrawing attendance zones and teacher crossover programs, if the study deems necessary.

Clarifies Support Of Anti-War Effort OKLAHOMA CITY (NC) Bishop Victor. J. Reed of Oaklahoma City-Tulsa has clarified his financial support of a religious effort to end the war in Vietnam.

News reports have left the "general impression that Church funds are involved" in the bishop's recent support of an antiwar drive and that is not true, said Father Charles H. Schettler, . chancellor of the diocese.

He said he was directed by Bishop Reed to clarify any misundersta~ding about the matter.

The 'bishop sent a pastoral letter to all Oklahoma parishes to explain that only his "personal funrls are involved, not the funds of the diocese."

WORCESTER (NC) - Priests have the same inalienable right as any American citizer.. to run for political office, the diocesan weekly here declared in an editorial.

The Catholic Fr~e Press called "disconcerting" a poll of Massachusetts' third congressional district indicating that 30 per cent of the voters felt it was "not proper" for a priest to run for political office. Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J., Boston College educator, hopes to oppose Rep. Philip J. Philbin for that district seat.

"Whatever else might be said about the quauifications of either Congressman Philbin or Father Drinan or ljny (lther candidate in the current campaigning across America," the Free Press said, "it should be admitted that any Catholic priest, as any other minister of religion, has a basic, inalienable right as an American citizen to make himself available for election to public office."

But the editorial said that though Father Drinan had a "human right" to run for office, "now that he ns in the political arena, he must be judged-as must any other candidate-as a politician and state~man, not as a priest."

Analytical Work Mussing, From" 'Cushing" Biograp'hy,.

John Henry Cutler is the latest to have ago at writing a biography of Richard Cardinal Cushing, and what he comes up with, Cardinal Cushing of Boston (Hawthorn Books, 70 Fifth Ave., New York",N.Y., 10011. $8.95), is not very good. Cardinal the book which might pertain Cushing is an extraordinary more •to ·the .devices of fiction man, and an extraordinary thary to those of· factual reportchurchinan. He is a great ing. subject for a first rate writer who has access to what must be a' rich treasure of primary sources. But such sources are not now available, and probably they will not be so during the car· dinal's lifetime. Mr. Cutler, moreover, is a pedestrian performer.

Outraged"Comment

JOHN S. KE,NNEOY-

The materials on which he has drawn are mostly newspaper and ,magazine articles. These. afford some chronology of the Cushing career, excerpts from speeches by' him, and the observations of people often either meagerly informed or not astute.

Insig~t

Well, no need to fuss pver that. Mrs. Glynn is writing about what happens in a parish in the Bronx when a small group of 'parishioners decides to do something about Church renewal, specially about liturgy.

There was much agonizing, as well as as discussion which was endless and sometimes hot. The participants carne to see that it is wrong tei suppose that the Holy Spirit is working only when "something was happening with which we agreed." They had, 'and came to delight in, ~ home Masses.

Lacking

A mere recital ,of certain pub· licly recorded facts about the cardinal can be profoundly impressive. The amounts of money /which he has raised for innumerable charities, for example, are probably unparalleled, and rare' is the, liberality with which he has assisted good causes of all kinds, especially the missions.

Again, there are the initiatives he has taken in many fields, for example that. of ecumenism.

Others could be instanced, all evidencing his humanity ·and his courage, not to mention his indomitable' industry despite cruel ill health.

Such facts Mr. Cutler plods through on page after page, in chapter after chapter. But what is lacking is the insight or the artistry to compose a portrait which is clear and incisive.

Wrong Facts It may be pleaded that the cardinal says that he does not understand himself, and that he has sometimes been self-contradictory. But that does not excuse the writer from the analytical work missing from this book.

Even in the realm of facts, Mr. Cutler is frequently wrong. For example, Cardinal Spellman was not the primate of the United States, as here stated. Knights of St. Gergory do not wear vestments, at least so far as I know.

Something of the unique Cushing flavor does come through, but the unique genius is not dis· tilled or defined, and the true stature of the cardinal is not determined.

Chur~h's

lFuturle

Into which category can we fit Jean Davis Glynn's book Answer Me, Answer Me," which is subtitled "What's the Church Coming To?" (Bruce, 12 Barclay St., New York, N.Y. 10008. $4.95)? She appears in it under her own name, and what she recites would seem to be something in which she was directly involved.

But then there are aspects of

And finally, after an eightmonth struggle, they succeeded in getting the pastor to allow a kind of folk liturgy in the parish church. : It drew some outraged comment, but 'was, much more popular than the nay-sayers supPOSE;d it would be. : Mrs. Glynn's experience has been duplicated all over' the country, and, one imagines, in many other 'parts of thewdrld, to'o. She tells it with good Ihu_ mor and good sense.

ValleYQf the Mekong Father Matt J. Menger, author of In the Valley of the Mekong (St. Anthony Guild Press, Paterson, N.J. Cloth $5.50, paper $3.95), is an Oblate missionary who has spent 13 years in Laos.

His book gives some account of Laotian history and of 'the present ordeal of the country.

But mostly he addresses himself to describing his life and ministry, both of them laborious and beset with troubles, yet never overwhelmed by adversity.

He has many good stories' to relate, many personiilities and incidents to describe. Tigers and cobras make their chilling appearance, as do the engines of war which plunge ordinary folk into misery.

Bishop Must Be Notified on Preachers Worcester Priests' S'el1lote Urges Policy WORCESTER (NC) - Pastors and their assistants have been advised by WorcE.ster Bishop Bernard F. Flanagan that they must notify him before inviting "any other than a priest or deacon" to preach in a church in the diocese.

Bishop Flanagan's letter advising the priests of the policy ,did not mention. whether he must approve of preachers who are not priests or deacons. A diocesan official said if the bisho'p questioned an invitation to a particular preacher, the policy ,would enable him to discuss the matter with the pastor to reach a determination.

The bishop's letter stated that his directive was being issued "in accordance with a resolution taken at a recent meeting of the senate of priests."

New Britain Incident Citing an incident in which parishioners walked out during an anti-war sermon delivered from the pulpit by two college students in a New Britain, Conn., church, the djocesan priests' senate asked at the meeting that Bishop Flanagan adopt a policy dealing with such situations "instead of waiting for a similar issue to arise in our diocese.'"

'Elllldlcllhusts ift Korea Debate Celibacy SEOUL (NC)-Celibacy has become a controversial issue among Buddhists in Korea.

Celibate Buddhist monks have criticized and vowed to nullify the government's recognition of the nation's married Buddhist monks as a legal organization.

The married sect is now registered with the ministry of culture and information.

Previosuly, only celibate monks had been recognized, as a legal Buddhist group.

In 1954, after the late President Syngman Rhee ordered all married monks removed from Buddhist temples as an illegai group, the sect carried its fight to the courts.

U. S. of Europe BRUSSELS (NC)-A majority of persons in the six member countries of the Common Market favors the development of a United States of Europe, with a common parliament and president, according to a recent survey.

0 Most Britons, however, are opposed to such a development, the survey indicated.

Six public opinion research institutions and a group of news-, papers and magazines conducted the poll in Great Britain and the six Common Market countries: Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netlferlands. . . The 12,OOO-person sampling was representative of the voting age population in each of the countries surveyed.

Only 19 per cent of British voters in the Common Market countries, the, survey showed, favored the political formation of the United States of Europe, the election of a European parliament by direct universal suffrAge, and the formation of a European government.

The survey also showed that young voters are decidedly more enthusiastic about the unification of Europe than older voters in every country..

Majority Opposes Busing for Balance ST. LOUIS (NC) Nearly three-fourths of all Americans oppose busing children from one neighborhood to another to achieve racial balance in schools, a recent Louis Harris poll revealed.

It showed that while Americans oppose school segregation by law by a clear 58 to 19 per cent, they condone segregation by about the same percentages when it results from neighborhood living patterns. An overwhelming 73 per cent said they oppose busing school children, according to the Harris opinion poll.

In a cross-section survey of 1,561 households, Harris found that only parents of black children favored busing by a relatively narrow 46 to 40 per cent margin.

He also found that a m.ajority outside the South condemns segregation of schools by law.

In the South 'Itself opposition to segregation is expressed by a 43 to 37 percent margin. Young people are opposed to legislated segregation in every region, reported the survey.

Speaker Stresses Sacredness of Life S'ees Bishops a.s. Teachers, Defenders of ST. PAUL (NC)-Strong criti- . cism of "heretical" textbooks and teachers, plus strong support for the sacredness of Hfp. were voiced by some 500 participants at the sixth Wanderer Forum meeting here.

Speakers at the three-day sessions, sponsored by The Wanderer, conservative national Catholic weekly newspaper, reaffirmed the role of bishops as the primary teachers and defenders of the faith. but were 'skeptical of some bishops' success.

While not naming names, Mrs. Theresa Ickinger. of Parents for Orthodoxy in Parochial Educa· tion said "we must build bonfires under episcopal chairs" of those bishops who have allowed the Catholic faitll to be en· dangered.

"All bishops are not protecting the truth and we must with all reverence tell them when their slip is showing," said the Pennsburg, Pa., woman.

She hit heavily and repeatedly at modern texts and teachers that "relegate the Ten Commandments to household hints," at liberal theologians who express embarrassment at the mention of the devil and at those "with a

Open New Seminary In New Mexico GALLUP (NC)-Christo Rey (Christ the King) Seminary has opened here to give primarily Navajo and Spanish-American teen-age boys a chance to study for the priesthood without leaving the Southwest.

Bishop Leo Gomez, rector of the seminary adjacent to his residence, said need for it grew when youths who speak English as a second language wer-e rejected or dismissed from seminaries . in other parts of the country.

"The competition was so great and the interests so foreign that they soon returned home," the bishop said.

lunchbox attitude toward the Eucharist."

Mrs. Ickinger deplored those theologians who try to make God "all things to all people," those who opt for a "rubber stamp creed" and those with a "bubblegum Christianity pumped up with their own hot air," "The marshmal10w foundation" of theology laid down by most modern catechisms is nothing more than the "flip side of

World Hung·er Continued from Page One He questioned "linear" population projections beca~se they do not take into consideration the fact that "growth is variable." This was the error of Thomas Malthus (English economist), Dr. De Castro declared.

If Malthus was right in his view of populatiop growth, the people of the world would now number 123 billion instead of the present 3.5 billion, he said.

"We have to find the means to feed the children people want to have," he added.

His presentation evoked prolonged applause. Applause also greeted a rebuttal by a panel member, Dr Sripati Chandrasekhar of India, and the division among participants immediately became clear.

Africa A speaker from Senegal said that in Africa the people feel "that population growth makes for development."

A participant from Ethiopia developed the same point, citing the necessity for sufficient population density to justify the opening of successful schools.

A speaker from Zambia recommended that "we use some of the money being spent 'on the Pill and the Bomb on the children already born," Mrs. Agatha Orde. of Nigeria said it would be "imprudent" for the FAO to "encourage governments to interfere in the personal prerogatives of the human being, which could result in violating the rights of man as specified in the United Nations' Declaration on Human Rights."

God has been sold out before but never .at such discount prices, the representative continued.

"We must put the scandal right where it belongs--on the bishops," many of whom are following the yellow brick road, Mrs. Ickinger said. !Enemies of Family This widespread challenge to orthodoxy has stemmed from f:ontinued emphasis on secular society and the erosion of the family concept, several other speakers contended.

Dr. William A. Mara, philosophy professor at Rutgers University said he was sick of social scientists who had to reevaluate their theories on the family and marriage with every change in contraceptive methods.

Enemies of the family are those that attack the concepts of love, marriage and decency, he said.

"Often the greatest enemy of the Christian family is education -unfortunately even supposedly Cahtolic education," he declared.

Dr. Ever Curtis, a Gloucester, Mass., general practitioner, called for "moral muscles" on the" part of parents to instill a Christian code of ethics in their children.

He advocated a return to "good, simple discipline" and warned about "the devjj's threepronged fork-sex, drugs and sensitivity training."

Continued from Page One there were 717 applications received here for abortions, but if the strike occured only abortions necessary to safeguard health of pregnant women would be performed.

The Catho:ic stutement was signed by the heads of the state's eight dioceses, plus 22 other Catholic bishops of the state.

The statement follows:· . God's Low Unchanged "The implementation of the regressive abortion repeal law on July I, I~70 begins a tragic chapter in the history of New York state.

"We strongly affirm that the change of the civil law on abortion does not alter Goc1's law.

The law of Goel and the law of our Church remain unchanged.

To take human life is gravely wrong: This taking of human life is particularly heinous because that me is innocent and defenseless.

"In the Christian tradition and as human :Deings we totally reject abortion. We endorse the action of those hospitals which will not permit abortions to be performed or advised. We support those doctors, nurses and other health. professionals who will . not participate in this grave evil of abortion. We unite with the multitudes of people of other religious beliefs in the defense of human lift!.

Many itlstitutions and individuals, including our Catholic hospitals and our Catholic people have given witness to this respect for human life by their absolute refusal to be involved in any way in abortions.

"We plead that all hospitals and other employers maintain and develop policies to respect the conscience of their employ· ees who refuse to participate in abortions.

"We are most concerned that the poor not be pressured into submitting to abortions for the sake of lower welfare costs.

"We call upon all people of good will to join with us in a campaign to reverse the lifedestroying trends in society which abortion and euthanasia represent.

"We live in a world filled with violence, malice and selfishness of which abortion is an example.

In this hour of sadness we urge the people of New York State to have the courage and strength to reject abortion and uphold the sanctity of human life."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Laymen' who exp~ct the clergy to speak out on every world problem are not proud or aware enough of their own role in the Church, Ii top Vatican official said her~. ' Msgr. Marcel Uylenbroeck, head of the three-year-old Vatican Council of the Laity, admitted that previously the Church in some countries had been too silent "on the real problems of community life." But he said laymen who press for the other extremes are encouraging a new "clericalism" meddling of clergy in matters not primarily their concern.

The Belgian-born monsignor said the Council of the Laity would try to. make laymen "more aware of their presence in the world" as well as "more present in the different structures of the 'Church."

He visited here during a coast-to-coast U.S. tour to discuss with a cross section of American laymen their problems, goals and activities in the light of Vatican II. 'lExperts of Life' "We never will be an organization which tries to have everything under our direction," Msgr.

Uylenbroeck said of the Lay Council, which meets twice yearly. The council will be "BI clearinghouse of information on all aspects of lay life," he said, and promote lay activity in the diversified forms it takes from country to country.

"You are my experts of life," .Pope Paul VI told the 30 members and consultors on the Laity Council at their March meeting in Rome. He urged them to bring back to Rome the feelings and concerns of laymen all over the world, but stressed they should promote a two-way dialogue.

The council should also relay information to the laity about the feelings and concerns of the hierarchy, said Pope Paul, who established the Council of Laity in 1967.

Sees COll1trad iction in Senators' Position on Vietnam, Middle East WASHINGTON (NC)-United States senators should clarify their motives in urging jet sales to Israel while at the same time decrying bombing of North Vietnam, a priest said here.

Many of the senators who recently voted 59-1 in favor of an amendment urging support for President Nixon in sending arms to Israel are the same senators urging an end to the war in Vietnam in letters to Pre'sident Nixon and the Secretary of State William Rogers, said Father Patrick P. McDermott, S.J. in a personal statement.

He is assistant director for peace, United States Catholic Conference Division of World Justice and Peace.

He said both the Vietnam and Middle East situations are sufficiently complicated "that one could take a position to decrease the level of armaments in Vietnam and increase the level in IsraeL" However, the priest added, the senators' who have this split-position woqld be "more' consistent with the intention to resolve conflicts, if the United States were supplying defensive weapons to Israel instead of offensive ones."

What should "bother some- of the anti-war senators who signed letters to the Nixon administration, is that the logic which they decried in the bombing of North Vietnam and the invasion of Cambodia is the same logic' that is often used to justify the sale of jets to Israel-that is, the best defense is a good offense."

The priest explained there is "significant difference" in the F-4 Phantom jets supplied by the U.S. to Israel for use in ground attack and bombing and the MIG 21 supplied by the Soviet Union to Egypt "primarily for defensive air-to-air combat." !Bombers, llnterceptors Fathe'r McDermott stated: "The F-4 Phantom jet supplied by the U.S. to Israel is primarily a fighter bomber. It is capable of flying long range mis-

sions with heavy bomber loads.

Although it is capable of air-toair combat, its navigational and electronic equipment are designed for attacking targets on the ground.

"The MIG 21 supplied to Egypt by the Soviet Union is primarily a fighter interceptor.

Its range is significantly shorter and its armaments and fire control systems are designed for knocking down other aircraft in air-to-air combat."

Recently, United Nations Secretary General U Thant in ef fect asked the U.S. not to supply more Phantom and Skyhawk jets to Israel contending that more "offensive" arms can only impede progress toward peace.

Father McDermott said that "recent escalation on the part of the Soviet Union" in the MidEast conflict "is a corollary to a prior escalation on the part of IsraeL" Invasion, Defense The Israelis "have looked upon their invasion of the air over Egypt as a defensive move to keep the Egyptians off guard so that they could not build up their offensive forces."

What is problematical, Father McDermott aded, "is the confusion as to what constitutes an invasion on the one hand and legitimate defense on the other. I , In view of that confusion, "if armaments are to be supplied to Israel, it might be far more advantageous in the long run that they be of a defensive nature if they are to offset the supposed advantages gained by Egypt in the recent Soviet buildup," he said, He believes there should be increased diplomatic' efforts to reestablish a: cease-'fire which has been violated repeatedly by both sides.

"Escalation of offensive capabilities is to no one's advantage.

As in Vietnam, a political rather than a military solution is ultimately the only answer," he said.

Bishops Fund Office For Black Catholics WASHINGTON (NC) - The nation's Catholic bishops moved to bring new life to the Church's work with America's blacks with the announcement of their funding of the National Office for Black Catholics.

Launched with an interim budget allocation of $45,716 and headed by Brother Joseph Davis,' S.M., the new office here is devoted "to the liberation of black Catholics." It is the result of two years of planning and petitioning by members of the Black Catholic Clergy Conference, the National Black Sisters' Conference, and representatives of black Catholic lay I caucuses.

Impetus for the NOBC, Brother .Davis told NC News, came from a growing realization among black priests and black Catholics generally that "the Church was at a critical stage in the black community."

Converts For example, he explained, "there are only 800,000 black Catholics in the United States.

Black converts to Catholicism are rare today. There is a lack of black vocations. Both of these facts come from the Church's 'loss of credibility among black people. We don't' see the message of Christ in operation in the United States.

"The NOBC is an effort to revitalize the Church in the black community, as an institution for and about black people.

It will be devoted to the liberation of people, black and white..

In short, it will give black Catholics-especially black priests and Religious-a chance to be about our father's business."

History NOBC can <J>trace its history back to the first meeting of the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus in Detroit in April, 1968.

Black priests and Religious discussing their role in the Church and the Church's role in the lives of the nation's blacks came to thre'e conclusions: A revolution was sweeping the black community.

The Church seemed to be unaware of the revolution and its implications.

As a result, the Church was in danger of losing what little ground it had won among the nation's blacks.

Headquarters According to Brother Davis, the NOBC plans to open a national headquarters here and four regional offices. Each office will provide technical assistance for black and white in-

dividuals and groups working with black people.

It will seek to bring about the revitalization of black parishes, assist black people in gaining control over institutions in the black community and develop new source') of leadership among black people. In addition, it will monitor programs originating from white institutions but designed to affect the lives of black people.

Plans for the future development of NOBC and a request for a one-year operating budget allotment of $650,000 have been submitted to the nation's bishops. Approval of the budget request is expecteu at the bishops' November, 1970, meeting.

Although Brother Davis anticipated full $650,000 approval for four months from now, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) made clear in a statement that approval of bigger funds over a longer period would not automatically follow from approval of the July-December 1970 interim budget.

"That funding of the interim budget of $45,716 was approved by the executive committee of the NCCB," explained Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, NCCB general secretary.

"This approval, however, does not commit the Conference to the larger three-program and budget as proposed by the National Office for Black Catholics.

Only the entire conference (of all the U. S. bishops) can decide what funding can be made available after January I for the proposed program.

"That decision, like all others of this kind, will have to be made within the context of overall obligations and limited resources."

In a letter ten days ago to Father Rollins E. Lambert of Chicago, board chairman of the NOBC, Bishop Bernardin said his office would "do everything possible" to help in setting up the new NOBC office.

NOTRE DAME (NC)-Father Howard J. Kennu, C.S.C., 68, was elected to a third three-year term as provincial superior of the Indiana pr<JvincE\ of the Congregation of Holy Cross.

He has headed' the province since 1962. Previously the position was appointive but at the triennial provincial chapter meeting at the University of Notre Dame, he was elected by the 48 ex-officio and elected priest and Brother delegates of the province.

The province covers the entire country with the exception of nine Eastern and 12' Southern states and also has mission activities in East Pakistan, Uganda and Chile. There are 430 priests, more than 50 Brothers and 90 seminarians in the province.

Father Kenna, a native of Clontarf, Minn., joined the 'Congregation in 1921 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1930.

He has served as superior of Moreau Seminary here; president of Holy Cross Col1ege, Washington ,D. C., and of the University of Portland, Ore.
