Face Changing Man's Needs c WASHINGTON (NC) - Members of'the National Conference of Diocesan Directors of Confraternity of· Christian Doctrine programs across the United States called here for increased communication among Catholics involved in religious education.

In a report addressed .to the U.S. Catholic Conference's committee on education" they outlined the impact of change on man's environment and on man himself.

"In fact, it is this personal element of change that concerns us most, because as religious educators we are concerned most of all with the person himself, and how he and the world in which he lives affect each other in the process of Christian growth," the report said.

It went on to evaluate how religion's role in the life of modern man has changed,. and outlined recommendations for action to meet demands made by modern life on religion and men.

"We may speak of religion," the report said "from two points of view . . . as it resides in the individual as a set of personal values, beliefs, concepts and ideals" and "as a social structure, a community with dogmas, laws, moral codes imd implementing structures, or

what we usually identify as ·Church.' In both these forms we see an underlying continu: ity and a series of significant changes."

Those changes wer:e said to include a new emphasis on the here-and-now and on the place of the human community as the context for man's .selfdevelopment. Failure of the Church to recognize such changes, the statement added, has led to the abandonment of the Church by many people, including. priests and Religious.

Efforts to align the Church's activities and the demands' of modern society, tne statement said, have frequently been successful. But it pointed out that "these developments ·are also a source of tension and confusion to a number of individ·uals and groups within the Church, and we recognize that these changes can lead to destructive polarization."

In an effort to avoid destructive polarization, authors of the directors' statement out-

o

lined a program aimed at clearing a way misunderstandings surrounding the Church's religious education efforts.

The program urged: Increased communications between bishops and diocesan CCD directors, as well as between pastors and CCD directors. . . Increased professional assistance in setting up, maintaining and evaluating religious education programs.

Increased training for religious education teachers.

Caution to prevent polarization through misguided educational experiments, one-sided courses or one-sided textbooks.

Increased research into the use and development of 'religious education texts.

"It is essential," the statement said, "for us to recall constantly that Christ is both .the focus of our faith and the source of our unity . . . .

"We would not wish anyone to abandon or neglect what he feels is essential to his own authentic religious growth, but we see more than anything else . the need for all to give room' for diversity and to respect and support as much as possible those whose religious insights and God's grace may lead in a different direction."

Pope Tells U.S. Jurists To Preserve Natural Law VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI, speaking to a group of U.S. judges and jurists, declared that every act of state legislation "must be in accordance with the natural order of justice and in it find inspiration." the Pope did not indicate what specific issue of the American scene he may have had in mind, whether civil rights or "law and order" or abortion.

But he did· state that the endeavor to make natural justice the foundation of written law "is in . harmony with the juridical tradition of your ~ountry."

Following ordination to the priesthood in June, 19'56, Father Hogan enrolled at the Gregorian University, Rome and earned a doctorate in canon law.

During 1961, he taught theology at Stonehill College and the following year became head of the department. Father Hogan continued in that' position until 1966 when he was named rector of the International Theologate of the Holy Cross Fathers in Rome, where he remained until 1968.

Since returning from Rome theologate, the new provincial has travelled coast to coast in the United States lecturing and

New Connolly High Head Very Rev. William G. Guindon, S.J., Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus in New England, announced today that Rev. Thomas J. Gibbons, S.J. has been appointed principal of Bishop Connolly High School in Fall River.

In 1947 Fr. Gibbons entered the Society of Jesus at Shadowbrook, Lenox, Mass. where he made his novitiate and began his college training. After completing his Master of Arts degree at Boston College, he spent three years teaching at Baghdad College, Baghdad, Iraq, o~e of the missions staffed by the Jesuits of New England.

He returned to the States for theology and was ordained to the priesthood by Richard Cardinal Cushing on June 18, 1960 at Weston College, Weston, Mass. Upon completion of his theologiCal studies, Fr. Gibbons did graduate work in physics at Fordham University in New York City where he obtained

his Maser of Science degree in 1965.

From Fordham, Father returned to Baghdad College as chairman of the Physics Depart-

ment. While in Iraq he also served as the Director of Educational Section of the Sociological Survey of the Iraq Mission for the Society of Jesus.

Fr. Gibbons has been Ii member of the American Association of Physics Teachers since 1962 and has been interested in the development of new curricula for high school science. He has been an enthusiastic supporter and teacher of PSSC physics and Introductory Physical Science. This past summer he received a National Science Foundation grant to enable him to travel from Baghdad to San Diego, California for a special Institute in the new Harvard Project Physics.

Unable to return to Baghdad due to the seizure of the Jesuit facilities by the Iraq Government, Fr. Gibbons has been engaged in teaching at the College Preparatory School of Fairfield University, Fairfield Conn. during the past year.

giving retreats to sisters regarding renewal according to the Vatican Council.

General thrust or direction of the provincial chapter was for greater openness and mutual trust of religious on every level, and great accent on the importance of the local community as a place in which members grow, give and receive support, and develop expertise for their apostolic work.

The principle of "joint discernment" updates the traditional concept of obedience without supplanting obedience or making it meaningless. A province director of personnel, Rev. Patrick Sullivan, CSC, now with CARA, will be an important factor facilitating this discernment of matching best the needs of apostolate3 and the talents and fulfillment of the religious.

PERUViAN RECONSTRUCTION: A Peruvian ~orker stops to chat during reconstruction in Chimbote, Peru. Straw matting is being used ·as a temporary building material for both homes and schools. NC Photo.

Courageous Peruvians Rebuild City Boston Domenicon Tens Earthquake Effects WASHIN<:JTON (NC)-A Boston-bred missionary priest was talking about his parishioners in earthquake devastated Chimbote, Peru.

"They built a 20-room schoolhouse. out of straw matting to keep the children off the streets and out of buildings in danger of falling. It took them three days," said Father Theodore Breslin, O.P. His parish aptly is dedIcated to St. Joseph the Worker.

The 31·year-old Dominican is in the United States seeking funds and building' material for recon3truction' of Chimbote, almost levelled completely by the earthquake. Father Breslin was' appointed to President Nixon's Peru Voluntary Assistance Group.

The missioner said schools have been given priority in Chimbote's rebuilding program, followed' by water, electricity, and housing of facilities. Temporary pipes have been laid on top of city streets and water is now available from public faucets.

Electricity from' a steel company's emergency power unit is

Bishops Condemn Use of C.S. GQlS 'LONDON (NC) - The justice and peace commission of the English and Welsh bishops has condemned the use of C.S. gas, a form of tear gas.

The gas has been used by British troops against rioters in Northern Ireland.

The commission passed a resolution endorsing the condemnation of the use of C.S. gas by the British Council of Churches last April.

The resolution, addressed to the new British prime minister, Edward Heath, urged the government to reaffirm the traditionalinterpretation of the Geneva Protocol of June 17, 1925, prohibiting "the use in war of all chemical, bacteriological and biological agents, includinig tear gas and other harassing chemical agents."

being supplied to areas most in need, such as the one hospital still standing.

Father Breslin' and' his parishioners are living in tents and temporary houses made of straw matting. It's Winter there now but fortunately the temperature rarely dips below 50 degrees, the Dominican said.

He estimated that 85 per cent of the houses in his parish were destroyed, "but all the wood buildings in the city stood."

"The most economical way to rebuild is with wooden prefabri. cated houses," he said. "Wood gives and can ride a quake."

The parish's new $90,000 social action center, made of steel and concrete block, was destroyed and the convent made of the same material collapsed, killing two nuns.'

Father Breslin said his parish has petitioned the Peruvian government for long-term loans to aid in replacing the housing, but added, "we're not asking the government to' help build the church."

"Churches will be among the last structures to be rebuilt," he said.

Father Breslin said his parish increased by more than 6,000 persons in the days followinig the quake because it, unlike many parts of the city, was not flooded, and because there was some unoccupied land there.

Labor Surplus Between 20 and 30 thousand persons left Chimbote because of the disaster, but nearly 60,000 refugees from mountain areas resettled there after the quake.

Father Breslin said he believes many of the refugees will stay on, arlding to the pre-earthquake unemployment rate of 50 per cent.

He indicated, however, that the government was "pushing the :lrea as an ideal place for industry because of the labor surplus."

Chimbote is already the world',~ largest iishmeal-producing area. Factcries converting the meal'into fertilizer employed 6,000 persons before the earth-

Now they are closed awaiting extensive repairs. ' ' Most of the men in St. Joseph the Worker parish were steel. work~rs.

Their company has given them' a month of "paid vacation," the missioner said.

Attendance at American Folklife F'esti~al Highly Encouraging WASHINGTON (NC) - Somewhat overshadowed by. the Honor America Day ceremonies held in the same general area at the same time, the 4th Festival of American Folklife drew its largest attendance yet.

It seems on its way to becoming an established' institution in the capital, with plans already started for 1971 and 1972.

Dedicated this year to the folk cultures of Arkansas and the Southern Plains Indians, the festival drew an estimated 700,000 visitors over five days. There . was some overlapping, since some persons returned one or more times, yet this was testimony to the popularity of the event. .

The last day July 5 drew 150" 000 persons, a record for a single day. It did not compare with the estimated 350,000 who the day before .attended the Honor America Day ceremonies sponsored by Billy Graham and Bob Hope, but it was a highly encouraging attendance all the same. . There was much to see, and both· young and old were im· pressed by what they saw.

Open-Air Project There were samples of homemade wine' and real homemade cooking. Barbecued buffalo meat was featured on the menu in the Indian area, and fried chicken and cider were principal items on the Arkansas bill of fare.

There were folk music and

MARYKNOLL BISHOP RELEASED: Bishop James Edward Walsh, M.M., smiles from a wheelchair at Hong Kong's Maryknoll Hospital Friday follOWing his release after nearly 12 years in Communist captivity in Red China.

Border sources said the 79-year-old prelate "walked across th~ border bridge unaided and appeared in fair condition, considering his age anC: the ordeal he has undergone". NC Photo. . tively free from the time of the communist takeover in China until 1956 when the Central Catho!ic Bureau in Shanghia, of which he was executive secretary. was closed. He then lived at the Jesuit church of Christ the King until his arrest.

Because of his age, he was confined tl? a room in the prison hospital which was shared successively by two imprisoned Chinese university students who spoke English. The bishop said he was well treated in prison.

In Cumberland, Md., where Bishop Walsh was born, a sister, Miss Mary Walsh,' a former librarian, expressed elation at the news of her brother's release.

"This is something we've Pfayed for so long," she said. She add· ed she had always hoped to see her brother again.' "We never gave up hope, you know."

Christian Conviction In Washington, Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the U.S. Catholic Conference, said: "The release of Bishop Walsh . . . is glad news for all Americans and especially for American Catholics.

"Bishop Walsh's stance has given distinguished testimony to the power of Christian conviction in the face of the most difficult and painful circumstances.

On behalf of the American Cath· olic community I wish to salute him for his couarge and express

a hearfelt 'welcome home.'"

At the time of Bishop Walsh's release, the Red Chinese ~n­ nounced that another American prisoner, Hugh Francis Redmond of Yonkers, N.Y., committed suicide three months ago. " Redmond, 50, a businessman who had studied at Manhattan College in New York, was arrested in 1951 and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1954 on charges of maintaining contact with U.S. intelligence agents in Hong Kong.

First Maryknoll Bishop The White House in Washington said it was gratefUl for the release of Bishop Walsh and regretted the death of Redmond.

Ordained in 1915, three years after his entry into the newly

founded Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, (Maryknoll), Bishop Walsh was one of the first Maryknollers to go to China in l!)\8.

In 1927, in Sancian Island, the death place of St. Francis Xavier, he became the first Maryknoller to be consecrated a bishop.

Elected Maryknoll's second superior general in 1936, after the death of Bishop James Walsh (no relation), one of the society's co-founders and the first superior general, Bishop Edward Walsh returned to China in 1946. Two vears later he was made executive secretary of the Catholic Central Bureau, an organization . that coordinated all Catholic missionary, cultural, welfare and educational activities in China.

'Pushed Around' I3ishop Walsh could have left China during the early 1950's, but he chose to remain, because, he said in one of his last uncensored letters: "Here in Shanghai I share the lot of the Chinese clergy who cannot leave, who must bear the brunt of all pressure and annoyance.

"They are the key factor in the Church situation in China these days. There is some good, 1 think, in giving them a little help or, encouragement, if only a moral gesture."

Bishop Walsh added: "Besides, there's another thing. I am as meek and mild as the next person, at least I try to be. But I am a little tired' of being pushed around on account of my religion. My religion is all right; I don't see anything wrong with it. Anyhow, I don't feel inclined to get off the earth just because some people dislike it . . ."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. July J,6, 1970 \,

Essential. to Survival Charles A. Lindbergh has warned that it is time to take a look at technology and its side effects.'

"The very survival of -our civilization, if not that of mankind, depends on our ability to foresee and control the fantastic forces of the various technologies our scientific knowledge has released." " This is an echo of a statement made years ago- by Thomas E. Murray of the Atomic Energy C:ommission; "OUf only fear-and our great responsibility-is not wh~t we do with things but what we do with ourselves." " Lindbergh says that Western civilization has prqbably already entered its "period of breakdown. While I consider this as probable, I am not willing to accept it as inevitable and I do not believe we have passed the j point, " I of no return."

The distinguished aviation pioneer said that th~ sur-' vival of Western civilization "is likely to depend ort how intelligently we apply our sciences and technology tp our ; human environment within the next decade." , A few months ago there was much talk and great concern over the environment. The enthusiasm has toned down somewhat but there must still 'be a great concern. ¥any programs have been suggested and some of these P4t into effect. And, as Lindbergh says, it would seem that: contemporary pressure lobbies stand witness to the fact: that government must insist on standards, must demand i that industry incorporate controls", must insist that human reason and the common 'good be given precedence rover exploitation of the land and merely profit-making.

And, of course. when it comes to the use of technology, man must, also be guided' by spiritual principles.

As Lindbergh said on another occasion: "Short te~ ': survival depends upon the performance of supersonic aircraft and nuclear energy; long term surviv'al depends alone upon the character 'of man. Strength is catabolic without wis~om for direction and the Sermon of Christ on the Mouqt is as essential 1'0 our survival as the steel of bessemer.','I , I,

It is rare that a man of simplicity and without political

or economic power can capture newspaper headlines 'and the, attention and sympathy ,of a large segment of: the " , people.

But ,the release from a Red Chinese prison, of Maryknoll Bishop James Edward, Walsh has done just this., A missionary 'who has spent more than half his life in China, Bishop Walsh stayed with the Chinese even at the expense of spending the last. twelve years in priSon. Some might think this was a waste of ,time.

• But here is a man who has committed himself to the love and service of the Chinese people. His' presence--;-although a prisoner-in their'midst, his' prayerfulness under the most severe of strains, his continuing love for the people whom he vowed to serve-all this is a living witness to the presence' of the Church among men, to the concern of Christ for all men, to the spirit and actual fact of sacriI fice that is the seed of Christianity.: Should the Church ever rise from the underground: in China and begin again to grow openly, it will be as a result of the simplicity and living martyrdom of men such as Bishop Walsh.

Congress

Continued from Page One Emphasizing that the National Conference does not wish to "dictate" priorities or operational roles to other agencies, the statement closed with an outline of specific recommendatio'ns to various Catholic offices involved in religious education.

It concluded with a pledge by the conference. to provide whatever' research and cooperation was, possible to othE:r offices.

The report resulted from dialogue among religious educators at tilt:' regional and national levels. It reflected a consensus of, participants in the NCDn annual meeting of April 1970 in Denver.

Father John S. Russell of Syracuse, N.Y., elected executive secretary of the National Conference of diocesan CCO directors, told NC News that the report constituted the group's efforts to strengthen the CCO program in the United States by providing feedback from local CCO directors to national religious education organizations.

Grass Roots Opinion ' "We organized," Father Russell continued, "because we' felt we, needed a strengthened communications system· between diocesan directors and the national office. Our strength is essentially in our ability to reflect grass-roots opinion."

The National Conference, initially funded by diocesan CCO directors, is now supported by both hte nation's dioceses and the national CCO office.

Conference actiyities include development of the "Project Community" program-an informal meeting for everyone in .a given area involved in religious education-and a national CCO survey. The survey investigated priorities, backgrounds, needs and strengt,hs of diocesan CCO programs across the nation. .

Illinois Schools Continue to F'oce Money Troubles CHICAGO (NC) -The Chicago archdiocesan 'school board has promised to do everything in its power to keep all 422 parish grade schools open next year. But· board officials said they aren't guaranteeing anything.

Meanwhile, in Rockford, Ill., Bishop Arthur J. O'Neill gave the 57 elementary schools in his diocese three options in dealing with their money troubles.

The current financial crisis resulted when the Illinois legislature rejected proposals for state aid to nonpublic schools.

After favorable response from parish school boards, pastors and parishioners "the Chicago school board's executive committee offered a resolution that all schools remain open. But the resolution was amended to say only that "everything possible" would be done.

"It':: line to say we will keep the r..:hools open," said Father Gilbert Carroll, board member, "but we just may not have the money to do it."

Father Robert Clark, arch-' dioocesan superintendent, said the final resolution reiterated the board's previous position, "that the schools would stand together as a unit."

Operation Friendship "The board is determined that the schools will not close one at a time, with the poorer' ones being first in line," Father Clark said. He said the board would implement "Operation Friendship"-a plan calling 'for more affluent parishes to help poorer parishes.

Father Clark said there was "a high level of interest" among Chicago Catholics in the "Operation Friendship" concept, though support was "by no means unanimous."

Another plan for Chicago schools - "Operation Partnership"-would provide for public schools. to lease Catholic school facilities and pay Catholic school teachers on a part-time basis. Father Clark said the archdiocesan board was "still negotiating" with the Chicago public school board on the suggesticn.

The Catholic superintendent said it was "too soon to say" whether any of the 422 schools would close this Fall. "Our hope is that all of them will remain open," he said, though some may close for other than financial reasons, such as dwindling enrollments.

Three Options Bishop O'Neill said that the six cCfltral Catholic high schools, in the Rockford diocese. would all remain open for the 1970-71 school year, because of "noteworthy progress" in achieving "interparochial- cooperation on the high school level."

He added that parishes could adopt one of three options for the 57 remaining schools: They can dose their schools. They can negotiate with local school districts for dual enrollment programs with public schools, especially in grades seven and eight.

They can eliminate grades seven and eight entirely.

If a parish wants to continue the )ast two grades without dual enrollment programs, Bish· op O'Neill said, it must consult with the chancery an.d the diocesan office of education to further evaluate its financial situation.

The veteran Brother of the Christian Schools, at his .community's motherhouse in Quebec after a lifetime of missionary service, routinely puts in such hours collecting and sorting stamps, processing hundreds of thousands yearly for sale to companies serving collectors.

A native of Blessed Sacrament parish, Fall River, Brother Celestin attended St. Anrie's School, "back in the days when the Christian Brothers taught the older boys." From St. Anne's he joined the Brothers. On his home visits, he said, he always makes a point of visiting Sister Louis Marie, O.P., who was one of his primary grade teachers at St. Anne's. Now 83, she lives in retirement at the Dominican convent on Park Street, Fali River.

These are used in religion classes by missionaries and "sometimes the centers are cut out and they are re-used as greetings."

Brother Celestin comes from a family of 14 children. Three sisters became nuns and a brother is also a Christian Brother.' He is Brother Alban, also a veteran of years in Burma, and now teaching in a West Parkistan boys' high school.

Two .sisters are Grey Nuns, one deceased, and the other, Sister Josephine, currently stationed at Sacred Heart Home, New Bedford.

Family members in Fall River are, in addition to Elzear Morin, Mrs. Wilfred Pare and Mrs. Alice Mathieu. All are members of St. Anne's parish.

Brother Celestin is eager to involve others in his stamps for the missions crusade. Stamps and old Christmas cards can be sent to him in care of his brother at 139 Liberty Street, Fall River. All will help him achieve his goal of "keeping busy for the missions."

ALBANY (NC) - National Conference of Cat.holic Charities 'president Charles J. Tobin has urged people across the nation to wl';te their congressman expressing support for the Nixon administration's family assistance plan.

The plan, passed by the House of Representatives and currently awaiting action by the Senate's finunc.:: committee,.' would provide a national minimum level . of 'income for every American family.

"It is not a perfect law, but it is a needed law," Tobin said, observing that "unless some rnajur attempt is made to secure passage I'm afraid it will die, like many good ideas die, from lack of interest. . . .

"This is a landmark as the first minimum wage law," the charities official commented. "It would be our first true 'guarantee of freedom from hunger' for every American' ... there is no reason why anyone in this country should go to bed hungry."

C:ontroversy Continues On Birth Control Pill WASHINGTON (NC) - The government will not change its policy of warning women about possible dangers of birth control pills, Food and Drug Commissioner Charles C. Edwards said here. .

Edwards has been strongly criticized by the American. Medical Association for "playing doctor" with the nation's 8.5 million oral· contraceptive users by . requiring pill manufacturers' to begin next month inserting warnings in packages about the pill's potential dangers.

Edwards cont~nded that "its own responsibility to provide this warning to the ladies" because he said a significant riumber of women take the pill without physician's supervision.

The same warning Edwards has fought to maintain has been criticized by some consumer advocates for being too weak.

James Turner, a lawyer associated with Ralph Nader, filed suit against Edwarc1s and' the FDA, demanding a stronger wa.rning.

I hope the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a cold, cold, Winter because "fashion wise" we are going to be toasty warm. Capes, warm, wooly, and wonderfully" wearable are going to be the stars of the Winter of 1970. When I was taking se\ving lessons at Mrs. Farrington's I made a fashions for Fall and Winter.

Wool is the material to use cape that I have enjoyed for for :::apes; only the best and many years. When I started highest grade, of course,' is it I planned to wear it during my last pregnancy but sewing takes time (at least with me it dop.s) and while I didn't finish it to wear during those

nine months I did manage to sweep up to the delivery room wearing it. Of course its versatility didn't end there for I have managed to get a great deal of wear out of it and I hope I'll continue wearing it.

Certainly this will be the year that it will be at the peak of its popularity.

Capes always appealed to be personally. There's something extraordinarily dramatic in the long sweep of its fold. Images of buccaneers, highwaymen and romantic ladies fleeing the castle in the dead or night all come to mind when one thinks of this particula.r design.

Flowing Silhouette Well, now castles are something we sing about or tour, buccaneers· and highwaymen only appear on the TV screen, but the cape is still a dramatic compliment to any costume.

Skirts are dropping (as much as all of us. hate the thought of it) and the proportions of the Longuette (a word coined by the Women's Wear Daily in reference to the fashion that they are pushing on us) are perfe::t for the sweeping grace of the cape.

Ponchos and now shawls have become terribly "in" and what is the cape but an extension of the poncho? A little longer, a little wider, a great deal more pizazzz-z.

France, (it still has a great influence on the fashions of the world) has wrapped up cape

Presbyterians Approve Transplants, Abortions MEMPHIS (NC) - Acceptability of organ transplants was approved without debate by the 1l0th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. Consideration of the ethical propriety for transplants was contained in a recommendation written by the church's permanent theological committee which stated that Christians "should feel free . . . to make gifts of their bodies or parts thereof for the purposes of transplantation into those who may have need of them."

The assembly said church members should be encouraged "to organize or participate in" conferences between representatives in. medicine, law and the church "to help solve the nonmedical problems precipitated by transplants. " In another proposal adopted, the church said that a family's socio-economic situation could justify an abortion.

used by the French designers to form a flowing silhouette.

Many Uses Fun time comes with the way that you wear your cape-hide under it, swirl it, wear it over slacks and a sweater for a sporty look or wear it on a blustery evening to' cover up your after five wear. Certainly it would be a good covering for the evening gowns that grace the Bishop's Ball in January.

Last year one of the teachers in my school bought a corduroy cape lined with pile. Not only was it good looking but she found it wonderfully warm for chilly recess ~uty.

While July may seem like an offbeat time to mention capes, in only a couple of weeks the stores will be well stocked with the beginnings of the Fall crop of clothes. And like every other season the pick of the Fall harvest will be at its peak in August and September and this will be the time to look for a smart-looking cape.

Louisiana Bishops Support Tax Bill BATON ROUGE (NC)'- The bishops of Louisiana's four Catholic dioceses have given tentative support to a $120 million legislative tax package for financing the state's newly approved aid program for private schools.

In a statement they urged passage of the tax bill for the time being and recommended that in the future, when the stale "straightens out its property tax program," other sources of revenue be found to support the school aid program.

The statement was issued by Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans; Bishop Robert E. Tracy of Baton Rouge; Bishop Maurice Schexnayder of Lafayette; and Bishop Charles P. Greco of Alexandria.

The bill is still pending in the legislature, which earlier cleared the bill for state aid to parochial and private schools.

The school aid bill provides partial payment of salaries of teachers of non-religious subjects' in nonpublic schools plus other benefits.

Nations Campaign Aga inst Tobacco WASHINGTON (NC) Increased concern over possible health hazards of smoking has result~d in intensive anti-tobacco campaigns in at least 25 nations, according to the U.S. Public Health Service.

While "most of the anti-smoking campaigns are similar to those used in the U.S.-health warnings on cigarette packs and restrictions on advertising-the survey repor~ed several unusual approl.lches.

In Bulgaria, for example, anyone who wants to' smoke on the job must get written permission from any non-smoking fellow workers. Throughout factories in the Soviet Union, are posters carrying the warning "tobacco is poison," and "how to burn up your heaith."

WASHINGTON (NC)-A group of bll?cks opposed to communism, busing t<J uchieve integration and black militancy announced formation here of the National Black Sill'nt Majority Committee.

The group was urganized to prove that the vast majority of the nation's 22 million blacks are not represented by what they termed the violent minority advocating militant action against American institutions.

"We believe that black revolutionaries and militants, upon whom some segments of the news media seem to dote, are not dedicated to progress for our people," committee spokesman Clay J. Claiborne said.

"Blacks don't want to burn America down. We want to build America-and, like all patriotic Americans, earn enough money to own a part of this great nation."

Claiborne, a newspaper publisher and consultant to the Republican Congressional Committee, said that the new organization would be devoted to bringing change to the black community through politics. He said his group would support candidates who adhere to the principles of constitutional gov· ernment, law, order and justice.

Jesuit Amateur Artisans Compl~te New Home for Woodstock College NEW YORK (NC)-The Jesuits needed a decorator to complete their new living q~arters he~e, so a member 'of their commumty -with no previous experiencevolunteered. .

Richard Hunt, a Jesuit scholastic and amateur artist, rede: signed and furnished 31 apart-· ments 'for the priests and seminariansof Woodstock College.

The 100-year-'0Id Jesuit seminary . is now in the process of re-locating to New York City from its suburban Maryland location., Hunt, 34, accomplished his redecorating task in four months time so that the building would be ready for the first wave of Jesuits who began the move from the Maryland .countryside last September.

Interior' decoration was not the only thing taken over by a member of the community.

Other Jesuit volunteers did all . the brick work and paneling, and. some of the painting.

Father Robert S. Curry, S.J., administrator of the. Woodstock Jesuit community, said the ama· teur . nrtisans were used "quite bluntly, to save money."

"To move a group of 200 people from the wilds of Mary· land to New York City is a very expensive proposition," Father Curry told NC News. .

Ask Justice for All I n Northern Ireland BOSTON (NC)-Cardinal Richard J. Cushing of Boston has pleaded publicly for "full civil rights and social justice" for all citizens of Northern Ireland.

He noted that some organizations '!Yere collecting funds to relieve victims of the Belfast disorders and added: "We must do what we can to come to their assistance."

I The commons includes sitting rooms with lively prints Iand bold colors, brick-arched dining rooms, and a dark-wooded I and dimly' lit "pub."

I He said the new furniture is "somewhat rich-looking" i but "actually rather inexpensive."

The administrator also noted that the individual apartments are "themselves very simple" and make use of "furniture from seminaries that we have closed."

Father Curry said Hunt volunteered for the interior decorat.ing assignment to fill a need in the ~ornmunity, but that! he hoped also to learn some tnings which might help him add ir~agi­ nation to the "sterile type of. housing now being offere4 to the poor." ; Hunt plans to do advanced study in urban planning after his ordination next year.

States Approve Laws to End Campus Unrest

Tuotion Increase At Notre Dame

WASHINGTON (NC) - A legislative backlash growing from anger over campus demonstrations has led to the passage of ne\'! laws in 32 states aimed at curbing disorders at colleges and universities.

Most of the laws move the college campus further away from the non-academic community by barring outsiders from campuses, making expulsion mandatory for students and faculty members involved in disturbances, and giving campus police new arrest powers.

Also prominent in the bills passed by state legislatures are provisions cutting off financial aid to students involved in illegal demonstrations.

Bills related to campus disorders were introduced into 40 state legislatures this year. Six states voted down the measures, while ac;tion is still p~nding in New Jersey and Delaware.

The six states that voted down anti-disorder bills and .the 10 states that did not introduce similar bills were' states that felt little or no campus violence.

Clarify Punishments The states that suffered the most violent or prolonged demonstrations passed the most comprehensive laws for ending campus disruptions. They included New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, and California with its troubled campuses at Santa Barbara, Berkley. and San Francisco.

Many of the laws pa.ssed dealt with existing offenses-assault arson and vandalism-but clarified punishments and attempted to outline the jurisdiction of campus and municipal police.

At the saine time, many legislators tried to widen the definition of a riot while preserving constitutional guarantees of the right to peaceful assem1:lly.

Most of the new laws will not have to face either practical or legal challenges until next September, when the nation's schools reopen.

Whether the new laws, a new willingness. to compromise by school administrations, and the fed - up - with - interruptions attitude of many students can prevent violence remains to be seen.

NOTRE DAME (NC) - The price of education. at the University of Notre Dame is going up in September and' the end of spiraling tuition costs is not yet in sight.

Father Theodore M. Hesbu~gh, C.S.C., said in a letter to the university's 6,200 undergraduates that tuition in September would be raised $100 a semester to $1,200 a year. An increase uf $50 a year in roum, board and IJundry charges, which last school year averaged $1,000, also will be made.

His letter said strong efforts were being made to balance the university budget, but that the school operated at a $900,000 deficit the last two school years.

"Our expectation is that for the foreseeable future tuitions and fees will increase an average of $150 annually," he said.

Chavez Threatens Cantaloupe Boycott DELANO (NC)-United Farm Workers organizer Cesar Chavez threatened a worldwide boycott here of California's $50 million cantaloupe crop in an effort to get growers to sign union contracts.

"We hope we don't get into that kind of conflict," Chavez said. "Eventually we will win anyway, and they would lose a lot of money."

Chavez added that the boycott would be extended to all crops grown by', the cantaloupe growers. He ScUd it would follow the pattern established by the present table grape boycott across the country. The grape boycott bars purchase of grapes without a union label.

Continue to Oppose Easier Abortion PONCE (NC) - The president of the Puerto Rican Medical Association said he was confident the group would continue to oppose e(forts to lift abortion law restrictions.

Dr. Eladio Monlalvo Durand, association president, commented after the board of directors agreed to submit a proposal to ease the abortion laws to the association's highest governing body, the House of Delegates.

Montalvo said the House of Delegates had opposed such a move three years ago. He said he felt the majority of the island's physicians was still in agreement with the 1967 policy.

The action here resulted from a switch in policy taken at the American Medical Association convention ,in Chicago in late June.

React to Lutheran Assembly Change GENEVA (NC) - The decision of the Lutheran World Federation to move its fifth assembly in July from Brazil to Evianles-Bains, France, near here, touched off much reaction including "surprise" and "even shock," according to Dr. Andre Appel, general secretary. .

The strongest reaction has come from the Evangelical Church of Lutheran Confession in Brazil, which said it is breaking its ties with the world federation to protest the cancellation of the scheduled meeting at Porto Alegre.

The Brazilian Lutherans said they regret the lack of patriotism of certain Brazilians who have blemished the image of Brazil abroad by fanning reports of religious persecution there.

They said that the LWF went beyond its role by going into the political field-"by which it showed its obvious decadence."

Archdiocese,Aids Parish Projects ST. PAUL (NC)-Parishes and organizations in the area's lowincome communities may have an ,easier time getting their projects off the ground after a financial assist from a new nonprofit corporation. .

The corporation, called the Christian Sharing Fund, was established by the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese to-collect up to $100,000 to fund pilot projects or initiate neighborhood programs awaiting major funding.

In announcing the fund, Coadjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne said that the archdiocese's Urban Affairs .Commission plans to match any donations up to $50,000. The funds will be used in programs involving parish volunteer services and others such as legal aid, day care, health and welfare or adult and youth education.

The fund is designed to increase the "dignity, self-respect and self-determination, among those who should be the church's first citizens, the poor," the archbishop's statement said.

Governing the fund is an interim committee of 20 personssix elected from parishes contributi~g to the fund, four appointe,! by the archdiocese and 10 elt:cted by low income neighborhood residents.

Plan Communication Projecfs in Juneau JUNEAU (NC)-Two new efforts to increase communication in this far-flung diocese will begin this Summer.

Modern Man and His' Church, a half-hour evening television show, will be produced and di~ rected by young people in the greater Juneau area. The show deals with man's relationship to his Church; worship, social needs and family.

Juneau Auxiliary Bishop Francis Hur,ley also announced the first issue of a monthly newsletter, The Inside Passage. He said the newsletter will "ply a path to the eye and min.ds of the peopl~ along which ,will be sent information about the Church in general and about the diocese."

Bishop Hurley called the weekly television program "innovative arid imaginative, just what we would expect from the younger generation who will produce and direct the shows. You must watch the medium to find the message," he said.

LOS ANGELE'S (NC) - Dr. Julian Nava, 43, Mexican-American educator, in his first statement after election as president of the Los Angeles City Board of Education, opposed the tuition voucher system in public education.

"When one thinks of the many efforts under way to abolish public education by tuition voucher systems or the efforts to break up the school district, which has served our community well for over 100 years, I think that all of. us can' recognize that the 'Board of Education this next year more than ever before is going to haye to work as a team," Dr. Nava said.

Dr. Nava was educated in public schools here, East Los Angeles College and Harvard University where he earned his master's degree and a doctorate.

cial change and amidst the fits and starts of renewal in the Church.

Some clergy therefore are choosing to step out of what seems -to be a morass and pursue the Christian ministry in a non-clerical setting. To many this seems an increasingly viable alternative to internecine strife.

No one, however, except hopeless reactionaries and an occasional medevalist scholar seriously believes that we can just wait it out.

Musing on this pastoral dilemma brought forth several inchoate strategies: 'Working' Theologians Theologians; especially ecdesiologists, are needed to reflect in their disciplined way on what is going on and draw out the lineaments of the Church in the modern world. This means they must not be overburdened with heavy classloads and "publish or perish" professional requirements.

The need· is for "working" theologians unencumbered by inquisitorial watchdogs and supported with grants sufficient to pay for groceries and to unlock their creative possibilities.

The "junior, clergy" of whatever age should organize around 'pastoral issues and develop with interested laity the new ministries needed in a particular area.

The Don Quixote model of the 'lovable loner riding into the windmill of controversy has had its day, at least temporarily.

Pastoral Agenda The priest as catalyst rather than charismatic leader (the supply of the latter s'eems as short among clergy as among presidential hopefuls) ,is perhaps the necessary mode of operation.

He can help small groups of people organize to effect social' change on an issue-by-issue basis at the local level.

This also involves learning the creative art of raising money where there is none-a skill that pastors in the old Church de:veloped to an extraordinary degree.

The U.S. Catholic Conference through its urban arm is developing a "box" to help this process along. The box contains tools to put together a Parish Action Training Program. The tools include a film strip patterned on' the "Pastoral Agenda of the Seventies" production mentioned above together with a record containing soundtrack and additional interviews concerning organizational technique and a workbook outlining a plan for organizing small groups around local social issues. The cost will be ,about $10.

Sponsor Student TV P1J'oject SEA CLIFF (NC) - Students attending special classes at St. Boniface School here in New York are producing their own programs for television under a project sponsored by two U. S. Catholic Conference departments.

The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes students are participating in the project designed by Barbara Yanowski Ryder, TV consultant, who said its prime purpose is "putting into their hands the creative communicating powers of the TV medium with all its capacity to captivate attention and command respect."

One might well ask why many college professors and their students are so totally unaware of the realities.of American politics. Why do they engage in behavior which almost certainly is going to be injurious to the cause they support? Perhaps the best answer to that is to say that ligence, his great skills at manuniversities are very unreal ipulating words, and his presumption to moial superiority, places. They have been made the average academic is apt to

going to engage in 'political activity. The principal business of the university is words and ideas.

Those who work at the university are essentially men who deal with th!.' manipulation of words and ideas and they art: terribly skillftl\ at it. But an npparently inevitable consequence of this skill is a lacl{ or respecT for any other kind of human actIvity and a ffeling of vast intC'1lectual and moral superiOrity over those wh' engage in other 1ctivilies.

As my friend, Professor Arthur Mann, once remarked, "It is the usual practice for intelle.~t­ uals to write biographies of politicians. They usually finJ faults with politicians that they as intellectuals have. One wonders what 'would happen if p:liiticians wrot~ biographies of intellectuals; presumably, they would criticize intellectuals for lacking the skills of politicians."

With their immense intellectual skills college professors are strongly tempted to assume a pose of superior morality. They know what's wrong with the world and they have solutions to what is wrong. If others do not agree with these solutions it is either because they al e stupid or immoral; in either case they.should repent of their sins and follow the advice of their betters. . Beneath IDignity It may seem like a harsh caricature, and of course many, perhaps even more college men, are not of this sort; but enough are to have considerable inHuence on the intellectual and moral atmosphere of a college campus.

I remember recently one such academic saying on television, "The public must be made to understand that students are angry. The public must be made to understand that the blacks must have justice. The public must be made to understand that the war is immoral."

Who is going to make the public understand he did not say, nor obviously had it occurred to him that there was even a question of persuasion, of dialogue of political rhetoric, of fashioning coalitions and alliances.

Strictly Academic This sort of activity was beneath the academic's dignity.' It was the kind of thing that low types like politicians engage in, but for an academic to analyze the issue and to present the obvious moral solution was enough.

Others should fall into line.

Because of his superior intel-

have a greatly exaggerated ideal of his own importance. He therefore is persuaded that the things he says and the resolutions he votes on are taken seriously by those beyond the university campus. . Thus, many faculty members agonized at great length over' the exact wording of their resolution decrying the Cambodian involvement.• Many who were opposed to the involvement were also opposed to the resolution on the grounds that it involved the university in a political position which was foreign to its nature as a place of detached and disinterested research.

Others argued that such academic detachment was immoral and that it was time that the university became involved and relevant.

It apparently occurred to a very few that as far as the rest of the country was concerned, any stance that the university faculty took was strictly academic.

Parade of Statements The typical faculty member also takes great delight in hearing the sound of his own voice.

Faculty meetings are frequently nothing more than a parade of statements, narcissistically delivered by professors convinced of their intellectual and verbal superiorities and moral excellence.

One of the unexpected impacts of letting students attend faculty meetings is that the students, not yet being fullfledged academics, frequently see through the unreality of faculty verbalizations.

(One young person said to me, "Good heavens, they're dumb."

Hence, a great deal of time is consumed on Hie college campus in talk. An immense amount of time was spent arguing about the exact wording or resolutions which nobody was going to take seriously, not even the voters themselves, the day after the resolution was passed.

One colleague of mine informed me that he didn't vote aye or nay on a single resolution 'because' he felt that the vote for or against foolishness was to endorse the principle of foolishness.

Whom the Gods Destroy Finally, the academic believes that he is a privileged person' and is utterly horrified at the thought that anyone would object to his using the university as a center for overkilling society. In other words, the faculty member is astonished when he is told that if he· bites the hand that feeds him, the hand might be withdrawn.

Of course he is going to be paid hi~ salary even if there is a strike, and of course the students are going to get grades even if they don't attend class (it might be 'noted that it is a strange kind of revolution in which the revolutionaries worry above their grade point average.)

And of course the state legislators are going to continue to expand higher educational budgets even though a faculty member has announced that the uni-

In hrief remarks that praiseL! the U. S.

In their teaching today, the Sisters in our parochial school seem to be earnestly trying to make the study of religion a living' understanding of the faith as jt, applies to the students' everyday lives. They encourage dfhe ~ children to question, to probe, to I know why they believe . . .

all enthused about the possibility of life on other planets in other solar systems. After a lengthy, 'discussion, it was obvious he clearly understood the theory, and had grasped an understanding of the scope of God's creation.

When he left the room, my husband and I were both impressed with the change in teaching methods. At the same, age, 'our "reHgion" studies were strictly question and answer straight out of the catechism.

My husband recalled a typical experience from his school days, He had been called on for a ques~ion in religion. Not being able to remember the answer word for word, he apologized, but offered to explain what it meant. He was told, "It doesn't matter whether you know what it means, you must know the answer by heart!" We are grateful those days are gone. , Yet, another mother complained to me, "Children today don't 'know' their religion, They do an awful lot of talking, but they don't know the facts. They don't know any of the rules which form the groundwork.

How many of you children," she questioned, "can recite the Ten Commandments?" . Live Their Religion I didn't know, but decided to find out. _At supper. I asked.

She was right. Out of six who shaulL! have been able, only one could actually say them word for word.

But they all know and respect God. They participate in Mass and Communion every Sunday <\Jld holy day . . . even when they are away camping' in the woods. They not only respect others' property, but have no use for senseless destruction, Th:ly know they should never steal, but that it is even more important, to give. They just seem to be aware of their responsibility to God, to themselves and to those around them.

After the whole session, it seemed that while they couldn't recite the words, they knew, and were living the meaning . . . and intent of the Commandments.

Remembering a tearful night years ago 'when I tried to memorize the' beatitudes, I was sure it is better they try to live them in practicality rather than re" cite th~m verbatim.

the older ones try to supply the answers. All too often, the discussion gets out of hand and they require a moderator. By now, I should know better than to get involved: With all but the baby, we have pretty well established "He~ven" for people. Prompted by the discovery of a stiff feathered body in the garden, one of the ,little ones qliestioned, "Where do birds go when they die? Are birds in heaven?" .... Older brother was dogmatic, "The, Holy ,Spirit is a bird' and He's in heaven!"

I should have ,known enpugh to just leave it there, but I had to open my mouth. "Is He really a bird?"

I "He's a dove!"

I tried again, '''Is He really a dove oris that just a symbol?"

Thinking I would clarify: the point, I went on, "Is the Ble'ssed Trinity a triangle?" .

Apple or Lemon I could see I was getting in and just confusing things, but by now I was committed to trying to straighten out the whole mess, Once more I tried, "When you see a comic strip in the paper, and someone has an idea, they draw a light bulb over his head.

It's just路 a symbol to get the message to you. The idea is not a light bulb." ' Well, when Thomas Edison had an idea it was a light bulb!"

I gave up, before we even ',decided whether or not birds gq to heaven. Worst of all, I didn't learn by the experience.

Several days later, the same "theologian" was reading the headlines of the daily paper.

"You know, Mom, we wouldn't be having all these wars if Adam and Eve didn't eat the first apple . . . but then, we might not have all those delicious apples' to eat."

I should have just agreed with him and continued making supper. But, I had to prompt a discussion. "Do you really think they ate an apple?"

He went right on' reading, "Nope! It was probably a lemon!," I

Downward Spiral .

"First, as none need be told, there has been a precipitous rise in social and political tensions, and with it something very like that paralysis which gripped the nation in the fact of not dissimilar convulsions in the year the Urban Coalition was founded.

"Second, ... far too many of the people and the organizations who should be with us in this critical hour are nowhere' to be seen. ' . .

"If we succeed, I think we shall have started spirally upwards again . . , if we fail, I can only imagine that the downvtard spiral will continue, albeit somewhat more slowly. . . . If we do not get family assist,,~nce in this Congress, I do not see how we will get it in this decade."

Guaranteed Income Moynihan's praise of the three. religious groups was tied to praise of "a few municipal executives such as (New York's) Mayor John V. Lindsay, and a few inspired individuals," as well as the heads of several major American corporations who have pushed for the bill's passage.

The Family Assistance Act, an effort to overhaul the nation's complex welfare system from top to bottom, provides a minimum guaranteed income for all Americans.

Developing World Nations Resent Outside Influences

The chief objection to a negotiated settlement in Yietnam is that it. would throw doubt on America's willingness to back its allies elsewhere. This is a serious argument. Any effective negotiations will have to accept the risk of a Viet Cong take-over later.

might well have been proved by ballots, not bullets, in 1956-mean that America's pledges elsewhere will no longer be believed? And does this mean unlimited Communist hunting license to go out and shoot down sitting governments?

The answer is "no" insofar as any human ventures can be so categorically. forecast. In the first place, Communists cannot simply stir up trouble when they feel like it. Other people have to feel like it, too.

Take Egypt. There would seem to be, on the surface, every reason for a Communist take-over: defeat in war, loss of territory, massive assistance from Russia, the Aswan Dam area crawling with Soviet technicians. But there is so little local support for Communism that Nasser can keep his few Communists in prison.

Have Power to Resist Egyptian nationalism is not identified with Communism. It is cautious of Soviet "Big Brother." Nasser turned out 'the corrupt landlords back in the Fifties and nationalized foreign business in the Sixties. The Russians have few local footholds. They have to accept a government which takes their arms and capital but goes its own way.

The "Falling Domino" argument enormously underestimates the determination of gavernments throughout the developing world not, to be run by the Big Powers outside. All governments in Latin America, Left or Right (they tend usually to be a bit of both) do not want dictation from the U.S.A. The Arab States use Russia but will not take orders. South East Asia tries to keep its distance from Peking-whether the nation is Socialist like Burma or a market economy like Malaya.

These nations are also becoming worried all over again by Japan's rising economic influence. Nations do not Iik~ being puppets; even the most disorganized of them has more powers of resistance than the Cold War theorists have allowed for.

Post-Colonial Stage In fact, for most of Asia, the break between Russia and China is a heaven-sent opportunity of avoiding complete dependence on either. It has the added advantage of breaking up every local Communist party into fighting factions. In India, the Maoists-or Naxalities, as they are called (after a land seizure in Naxalbari)-are the pro-Russian Communists' most ferocious opponents.

countries dislike the idea uf outside weights ur counterweights aflll would rather work out their own destiny.

The second arg4ment for doubting the relevance of Vietnam in other post-colonial areas is that the reasuns which started the fighting there 'are, in the main, settled everywhere else.

The post-colonial stage with independent governments is already reached.

Most countries are not divided between a Communist government which has fought the old . colonial power and a non-Com-. munist government, many of whose members have in the past cooperated with it.

Against such risks, military action from outside is useless.

Deadline Problem For Chicago Schools CHICAGO (NC) Chicago school officials announced here that their massive public school system will not be able to com.' ply with a federally ordered desegregation deadline.

School spokesmen blamed the size of the school system' and the lack of adequate pers,onnel data 101' the potential failure to meet federal requirements.

Faculty desegregation in Chicago would mean transferring, from 750 to 1,000 teachers among some 550 schools. School officials say the job can be done only by computer, that they lack the data to feed into the computer, and that because teachers are on vacation the data will not be available until school reopens in September.

The federal government says September is too late to correct racial imbalance within the system's teaching staffs.

He told them: "It is an indisputabie principle of your nation that man is endowed with natural and inalienable rights which the state must recognize and efficaciously guard."

In the defense· of libery, fte asserted, "are summed up all the basic rights of man since without liberty none of them can be exercised."

He cautioned: "But these principles of social life would not make sense if there did not exist the natural order of justice upon which they are founded and from which they receive their binding force. If the state is bound to recognize some fundamental rights, they are not. de· pendent on its sovereign will."

Recalling that Rome has been styled the "mother of law", he remarked: "But Rome also became the dynamic center of Christianity.

It is the city where Peter set up his See and from which the new message announced by Christ spread to the whole world.

"Here took place the symbiosis between the Roman law and the new vision of life founded on justice, in the sense both of interior and personal sanctification and of the virtue which prescribes to give to each what is his."

cession, 1740, Frederick II came to the throne of Prussia. He was to be a thorn in her side through· out her reign. Hardly had it begun when he invaded the Austrian province of Silesia, and for the next 'seven years warfare over its possession continued.

Austria lost.

It was not only upstart Prussia with which she had to contend. The France of Louis XV was her enemy, and there was trouble and sometimes. tumult in various sections of the' far-reaching Austrian realm.

Gigantic Task .

To meet these challenges, Maria Theresa had no army, had no money. The advisers and assistants she had inherited were medi" ocre and decrepit..

She had to perform a gigantic task of reorganization, and had to find men capable of carrying it out. Gradually, she managed to do both. .

One of her principal problems was the virtual independence of the great magnates, nobles with vast estates and wealth, who paid no taxes whatever.

Taxes were exacted solely of the masses of peasants, who, in . addition, bore the terrible weight of the warfare continually waged across the land, destroyirig their homes and their means of sustenance.

Improves Education Maria Theresa changed the tax base. Despite their bellows of outrage, she made levies on the rich. She also developed a stand· ing army. She improved and extended education on all levels.

In the space of less than a decade, she had become a formidable ruler, one whose reign bene: fitted the people.

But her reign had itsineradicable blots. One of these was the first Partition of Poland in 1772. In that year, Poland was carved up by Russia, Prussia, and, Austria.

This, however, was not the work of Maria Theresa. but of her son Joseph who, on his father's death in 1767, had be·, come c9-regent of' Austria and disregarded his mother's an· guished protest.

Devout Catholicism Another of her children who brought distress to Maria Theresa was her daughter Marie

credit that she allowed the beau· tiful bUt silly youngster to be used as a pawn in European politics, but this was the practice of the times. ."

A factor in Maria Theresa's' unfavorable reputation is her devout Catholicism. Her faith Was absolute and' she assisted at Mass daily. She was strongly averse to the ideas of the so· called Enlightenment, and 's~e used stern means to pre,-:ent their expression. : ~ -But how much this opposition and repression is attributable to her religious convictions, ~nd how much to her devotion' to the old political and social order, I one cannot really say.

Market Ministry Goes Into D·ebt ALEXANDRIA (NC) - An attempt by the Washington City Presbytery to reach 75,000 apa'l'tment dwellers here in Virginia through a "market place ministry" has failed, leaving in its wake debts of over $800,000.

Initiated in 1966, Market Ministries was located at a large metropolitan shopping center here, in an area ringed by multistory, high rise apartment buildings.

Goal of the Presbytery project was to make the church meaningful to mobile apartment dwellers, usually uninterested in traditional church programs aimed at settled home dwellers.

Resolution Disappoints Catholic Educator Education Association

Praem., president of the National Catholic Educational Association, said the resolution,' passed by overwhelming voice vote at NEA's annual convention in San Francisco, "tends to ignore 1he massive problems that face all of education."

The 7,000 NEA delegates approved the 'resolution urging "no diverSion of federal funds, goods or services to nonpublic elementary and secondary schools."

Confers With p"ope ROME (NC)-Utrecht's Cardinal Bernard Alfrink arrived for conversations with Pope Paul VI on cl,::rical celibacy. The Dutch cardinal, formerly a frequent visitor to the Holy See, has not been there since February when his support of a married clergy clash':!.:1 with the Pope's reaffirmati0n of the obligation of celibacy for Latin-rite priests.

. Want Control of Funds NEA directors said they opposed public funds for nonpublic schools but called such funding "a fact of modern life." They said such funds should be controlled by public school agencies and that those non public schools benefiting should be the same size, and have the sa'me teacher qualifications and calendars' as public schools.

The resolution passed at the NEA convention is a return to the million-member .organization's position prior to 1965 when Congress passed the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act. ESEA provided programs for the first time which benefited both public and' nonpublic schools.

A 8imilar resolution against nonpublic school aid failed by 210 votes at last year's NEA convention.

This year's resolution also states that government aid programs benefiting both public and nonpublic schools should be discontinued, with the exception of a federal free milk and lunch program.

Problems

The superintendents said any legislation extending financial support for nonpublic schools "should not diminish or divert funds already committed to and needed by the public sector."

"This attitude is representative of all of us in private education and in the Catholic community at large," Father Koob said. "Under the pressures of meeting our day to day responsibilities, we perhaps have been remiss in not making our voices heard on this topic."

Three Dioces'es ":- -To Use Center

Michigan Adopts

SHELBY (NC) - A spacious' former seminary will be' reopened in September as an activitieil center for the Toledo, . Cleve!and and Columbus dioceses.

Father John Bruni, seminary rector for 13 years,' will stay on us center t1iredor," with six Brothers to assist him. He said the center will be used primarily for or guing religiuus education for priests and adults. It will be known as the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Center.

"I can't regard this as anything Lut development and progress," said Father Bruni. "We're readp to pick up and work at a new apostolate that's needed within the Church."

He said the demand now is for deeper understanding of faith, ,the meaning of the Mass, the ready to pick up and work at a meaning of the Church as community, and getting down to grass-roots levels in new developments in theology and liturgy.

Open to priests, students and adults, the center will have plenty of room for grass-roots activities. It includes a 200-acre farm, 75-acre campus, 75 acres of woodland, orchards, recreation areas, two man-made hikes for swimming and fishing, residence and classroom facilities, bakery, laundry, print shop, book bindery, amateur radio station, photo lab, gym-auditorium, chapel, carpentry and machine shops -plus 110 head of cattle, 90 hogs and 250 chickens.

"':, Nonpublic School

Aid Program LANSING (NC)-After nearly three years of heated debate, the Michigan legislature approved a $22 million program of state aid for the state's 280,000 nonpubllc school students.

The program was wrapped in a $969.3 million state school aid bill approved by the lawmakers.

The measure also ,stipulates that the Michigan Supreme Court render an advisory opil1ion on the constitutionality of the aid-to-nonpublic-school phase of the bill before it becomes effective Sept. 1.

The non public school section of the bill allows the state to pay up to 50路 per cent of' the 1ialaries of nonpublic school lay teachers of secular subjects. the ceiling will increase to 75 per cent of lay teachers' salaries starting in the 1972-73 school year.

The bill stipulates that state aid for non public school children may not exceed two per cent of the total expenditures for public education from state and local sources.

The school aid bill received final legislative approval by a 23-15 vote in the Senate and 5749 in the House of Representatives, It takes 20 votes to pass a bill in the Senate and 56 in the House. , Opponents, of nonpublic schools aid tried to block immediate effect for the bill-without which the entire school aid bill would not take effect until next March-but Speaker pro tempore Stanley J. Davis of Grand Rapids called for a voice vote, then declared the necessary two thirds majority had supported the immediate effect motion.

Major Victory Passage of the non public school aid program was a major legislative victory for Gov. William G. Milliken, House Speaker William Ryan of Detroit and former Senate Majority Leader Emil A. Lockwood.

Gov. Milliken's Commis~ion on Fducational Reform recommended aid for nonpublic schools and he included it in the state school' aid bill for the 1970-71 school year.

Sen. Lockwood, who resigned as majority leader recently to campaign for the Republican r.omination for Secretary of State, played a key role in passage of the bill in the Senate last November.

Ryan, the legislature's leading advocate of aid for nonpublic schools guided the bill through the House.

The final Senate and House votes on the bill were on a report submitted by a House-Senate couference committee named to iron out differences in' the House and Senate versions of th bill.

Deplore 'Protestant Status in Spain MADRID (NC) - Religious freedom in Spain is impaired by the existence of a state religion, a Protestant leader declared. , Catholicism is the official religion of Spain and this "leads to discrimination" against other denominations, said the Rev. Jose Cardona. Gregori, executive secretary of the Commission for Evangelical Defense, an organization I't:presenting most 'of the country's Protestant denominations.

The Rev. Cardona called on government officials to change the situation "during the revision of the 1953 concordat."

Refuses ~piscopG,I' Priest Residence South 路Africa Rejects Application DURBAN (NC) - The South African government has refused without explanation the reques~ of an American Episcopal priest for permanent residence here, altPough he says he has re~ frained from public commen~ on South African political life during his stay. .

In a statement to his part ishioners at St. Elizabeth's in Westville near here, Father Co Richard Cadigan, from the Prot~ estant Episcopal Diocese of Mis.. souri, said: ' I "The South African government, through the Department of Interior, has informed us that' we must leave, the country on: or before Aug. 31, 1970. ' "This information comes as a shock and great disappointment: , to, myself, my wife and our' children."

He had originally come to' South Africa on a one-year tem- . porary residence visa, the priest i said. Since November 1967, he, has had to renew his temporary ! visa every three or six months. ' Since June 1969, he has made three requests for permanent residence status, he said.

references, Father Cadigan was .informed that his application for permanent residence status had been rejected "after careful consideration.'" He said no reason was given.

A spokesman at the South African embassy in Washington said that, in such cases, "it .is international practice for the country refusing residence not, to give reasons, " Commenting on the decision, Father Cadigan said: "As a foreigner I have never felt it my right to publicly comment ori the detailed events of political life in this country.

When a person is not a citizen of a country, then, in my opinion, it is somewhat presumptuous of him to become a spokesman for one or another political' party: This, too, I have studiously avoided.

Apartheid Policy "However, as a Christian, I have not been able to compart-

mentalize life by putting religion into one box, politics in another, and economics in another.

Christianity has to do with all of life; God offers the world through Jesus Christ redemption, that is to say, the re-ordering of the whole world."

Various groups in the United States have 'criticized South Africa for its policy of apartheid, or strict racial segregation, and have urged that the U.S. government and American business firms stop aiding and dealing with South Africa.

Father Cadigan's father is an Episcopal priest, and his uncle, Episcopal Bishop George L. Ca. digan, is head of the MissourI diocese. He' said he planned to le'ave South Africa with his wife and four children after the last Sunday in July. He has an offer to teach for one year at Wooster School, an Episcopal church school in Connecticut.

See 1971 as Education Year WASHINGTON (NC) - Next year may be remembered as the "year of adult religious education," a U. S. Catholic conference official predicted here.

Lawrence Losoncy, director of the conference's adult education division, was echoing the words of Chicago Auxiliary Bishop William McManus, chairman of the conference committee on educadon, who addressed the first national meeting of adult education directors in Chicago last month.

Losoncy said over half the nation's dioceses were represented at the meeting, sponsored by his division, which included presentations by various organizations active in adult education.

Oppose Abortion PARIS (NC) - French bishops issued a statement recalling the Second' Vatican Council's opposition to abortion as the nation's ruling Gaullist party moved to relax restrictions against abortion. The bishop's statement re,.. emphasized the Church's opposition to the practice of abortion.

Msgr. Raymond Lucker, head of the conference education department, also addressed the .group.

Goals, techniques and future directions of adult religious education were discussed. .

Losoncy said he is encouraged by the adult education division's progress since its establishment last January. The division's focus has. been enlarged from its original role as "clearing house" of information on adult education programs in dioceses and parishes, he said.

In the future, Losoncy said, the division hopes to pass on facts related to adult education in cooperation with several Catholic Conference and National Conference of Catholic Bishops' divisions. Areas' such as liturgy, family life, and Latin American affairs may be covered.

Local and regional workshops to train adult edu'cation leaders are also in the works, to be supported by a nation-wide network of reiigious educators set up through the InstituJe of Lay Theology in Berkley, Calif., the National Council of Catholic Men and the National Council of Catholic Women.

"Collaboration is so much wider than negotiations and makes -possible cooperation between churches which are not ready to talk to each other about union," Archbishop Clark observed. He forsees the day when Christians and non-Christian groups will work together as a matter of course.

A number of unusual ecumenical experiments have been undertaken by Anglicans and Roman Catholics in various parts of Canada, the Anglican leader and other churchmen said.

While living in Winnipeg, Man., between 1961 and 1967 as both primate and metropolitan archbishop of Rupert's Land, Archbishop Clark was involved in the planning and joint financing of the Assiniboia Christian Center, where both Anglicans and Roman Catholics worship.

In Matagami, a mining town near Noranda, Que., Anglican, United Church and Catholic leaders jointly put up a building with a large worshiping center for Catholics and a smaller one for Anglicans and United Church members. The clergy of all three live in the same adjoining apartment building, said Archbishop Clark.
