Critical Need in Medicine Remains Code of Eth ics WASHINGTON (NC) --:- The distraught parents of a Mongoloid infant tell the doctor at a hospital that they don't want the child to survive. The infant is seriously ill to begin with, so the doctor starves the Mongoloid to death. , A 15-year-old mentally retarded boy has enough intelligence to hold down a paper route, He has a kidney ailment and must bJ.ve treatment with a kidney dialysis machine, an instrument which is extremely expensive and in short supply. The boy is denied the treatment on the grounds that he is of no benefit to society. He dies. A boy is born with an "XYY" chromosome factor, a genetic abnormality which a growing number of scientists believe tends to make men "born criminals." Should the test be 'made in the first place? If so, should the parents be told ahout such a baffling phenomenon? There is no way of telling how the child will develop. So why "stigmatize" him for life and prejudice others against him? But what if he turns out to be a criminal? Maybe special training could have helped. These were among nearly a score of problems in medical ethics that were discussed at a seminar sponsored by the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation for

The discussions were led by Sargent Shriver who in 1972 ran unsuccessfully on the Democratic party ticket for the vice presidency of the United States. His wife, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, also took part in the discussions. She is executive vice president of the foundation arid is sister of the late President John Kennedy. The foundation is named in honor of her eldest brother who died in a plane crash in World War II. A panel of 11 experts in the medical field each spoke at the seminar. Their general conclusion was that the retarded, the aged, the terminally ill have increasingly become victims of what one speaker called a "utilitarian philosophy" in medical institutions. Dr. Robert E. Cooke, who cited the case of the Mongoloid infant, said that under such a philosophy the needs and desires of the patient become secondary to what may be more expedient for the patient's relatives, the doctor or the medical institution. The dilemma comes down to the rights of the patient on the one hand and expediency on the other, f.'e said. Dr. Cooke, pediatrician-inchief- at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, tried to look objectively at the case of the Mon-

Hour of Missions

Continued from Page One "To be involved in the formation of local personnel means, therefore, to serve the cause of the Gospel and at the same time the cause of progress and peace." 'Cause of God' Pope Paul noted that there are good reasons to be hopeful about missionary wOl'k and listed the first of these reasons as being the fact that "the spreading of the Gospel is the cause of God." He cited the efforts of many parishes, dioceses and religious orders to set up a "twinning" relationship with a mission area. "Twinning" is a program in which a diocese or other religious group will adopt,a missionary diocese or area and help provide personnel and funds for continuing missionary work. The Pope also underlined the importance of ecumenical contacts between' Catholic missionaries and other Christian missionaries. He said that contacts; particularly in the areas of civil assistance and ,cultural development programs can "serve to cancel the had impression ,due to the remaining divi,sions within the Christian family and to hasten, we hope, the recomposition of that unity." , Pope Paul put this year's world missionary day under the patronage of St.. Teresa of the Child Jes'us, the French Cloistered Carmelite nun whose first centenary of birth is being observed this year, and recommended to all Catholics the support of the pontifical missionary aid societies.

RIO DE JANEIRO (NC) -Police arrested nine aids of Bishop Pedro Casaldaliga of Sao Felix in Matto Grosso state and are holding them incommunicado, although no charges have been filed against them. The home of Bishop Casaldaliga was surrounded by police for several days as was an adjoining convent. Observers here saw that the incident is connected with the . trial last month of Father Francois Jentel, which Bishop Casaldaliga called a "farce." Father Jentel was convicted of subversion in connection w,ith the shootout between settlers and guards of a lumber company over land rights at Santa Teresinha and was sentenced to 10 years in priso.n. Bishop Casaldaliga and other bishops in Matto Grosso state had strongly defended Father Jentel, a French missionary, and had drawn criticism from- the governor of the state, who said that Bishop Casaldaliga "is instigating trouble instead of calming down the people." The latest arrests seem to further indicate that the military dictatorship of Brazil is attempting to repress some of the most vocal members of the Catholic Church, who have consistently criticized what they consider unjust social conditions.

Papua--New Guinea Has Bright Future SYDNEY (NC) Cardinal James R. Knox of Melbourne predicts a bright future for the territory of Papua-New Guineanow under Australian administration-when it becomes independent. "I think the people will acquit themselves with great credit," the cardinal said in an interview here after a visit to missions in Papua-New Guinea. "My general impression of the places that I visited was a wonderful sense of balance, although you can naturally expect a certain amount of trouble moving so quickly towards self,goverment," Cardinal Knox said. "They have a team spirit and an understanding of the value and importance of a community." Papua-New Guinea is scheduled to become self-governing in all areas except foreign affairs and defense as of Dec. 1. No date has been set for complete independence, although that could come in 1974 or 1975.

• Latin American Family In Transition RIO DE JANEIRO (NC}-The family is now in a transitional stage, according to a study of the Latin American Bishops' Council (CELAM). Today's family, the basic cell of society, is mobile and open, replacing the older family in which 'the husband was the ·boss, the wife a loving servant and the children little soldiers, tbe CELAM study said. With due effort and care, the transitional family might become the springboard to a more Christian society, the study noted. That was the over-all aim of the eighth Inter-American Bishops' Meeting held here at the end 'of · June. Twenty-five cardinals and · bishops from Canada, Latin America and the United States attended the consultation talks on the condition of the family in their areas. The CELAM study said that the traditional patriarchal family "is connected with the static rl,lral society. Woman is confined to · her domestic world; in a situation of dependency. In return for obedience to him, her husband gives her protection. His job and his world assure him his independence. The couple and their children have an intimate relationship, and relatives are allimportant." Patterns Upset But in a society that ·is rapidly hecoming urbanized and industrialized, . the study said, the traditional patterns of family life have been upset. Woman's role is being modified, as she gets into jobs formerly held by men only. She no longer lives in dependency and enclosed in a family circle, but has many activities outside the family. Thus, husband-wife· and parent-children relationships have been subject to many tensions and adjustments, the study said. "In this transition, the family

is no 'longer isolated but open, with geographical mobility and a vast web of contacts. All this offers wide possibilities, but also a serious challenge," the study said.. "The transitional type of family can help to foster a greater sense of the dignity of the human person--over institutional values - a greater' democratic participation and the unavoidable opening of the home to socialand political questions of the times." Tbe CELAM study also listed some of the adversities besieging the vast majority Of the poor in Latin America. Curse of Malnutrition "Thousands of peasant families live in undeserved misery, thousands of, urban families languish in subhuman wretchedness. The curse of malnutrition takes a great number of infant victims, and leaves disastrous aftereffects on the body and mind of . the survivors. .

litical structures tbat impede the right of these families to development. What we need is the elimination of these human barriers." . The CELAM study attr·ibuted the unstable ,conditions of marriage among many of the poor to the "cultural deficiencies" resulting from lack of school, job opportunities and from other obstacles to human dignity. "Many marriages," it said, "are built on a love that hardly rises above the level of instinct, because of the man's flaunting of his virility and the woman's search for protection and maternal fulfillment.

LONDON (NC)-The Catholic Priests' Association here has expressed "disgust and distress" at the screening on British television July 8 of Leonard Bernstein's musical composition "Mass." The association, a group of conservative clergy claiming 1,600 members, said of the work which has as its theme .the Catholic Latin Mass: "The musical ,is a blasphemous and sacrilegious profanation of the very center of Catholic life and worship. It betrays the humanistk ideas of its composer at almost every step." The musical is described as blending pop music with a .marching band and symphony orchestra and as depicting a priest beset by doubts. The current issue of the Radio Times, national television and broadcasting weekly, says "Mass" might offend some Catholics but that it has been well received by the Church itself. But 'the Catholic Priests' Asso· oiation challegend this view as "audacious and arrogant." How, it asked, could the Church express such acceptance when the showing was said to be the premiere in Europe? The British Broadcasting Corporation would not comment until it had received a copy of the priests' protest.

Relig'ious Group Backs Boycotts

"I love children, people, my work and most of all I love God," was the theme of a testimonial dinner given Sunday night .at White's restaurant in honor of Rev. Edmond Levesque, for 18 years assistant pastor at St. George parish, Westport, an:! now administrator of Our Lady of Grace parish, North -Westport. Among the more tb:m 600 friends and relatives in attendance were two sisters and seven hrothers of the honoree. Th拢'y are Mrs. Louis Maurane, Tiverton; Mrs. Fernand Rheaume, Fall River; Albert Levesque, Fall River; Raymond Levesque, Schenectady, N. Y.; Brother Richard Levesque, superior of the Brothers' Home attached to Walsh College, Canton, 0.; Hector Levesque, Tiverton; Rev. Arthur Levesque, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima Chapel, New Bedford; Armand . Levesque, Somerset; Joseph Levesque, Fall River.

INDIANAPOLIS (NC) - The board of directors of the Indiana Interreligious Commission on Human Equality has voted to support the nationwide boycott of Farah slacks and the boycotts of iceberg lettuce and table grapes not harvested by members of the United Farm Workers Union. The commission is a coalition of Catholic, 'Protestant and Jewish groups working' to achieve equal opportun}ty for minorities. The board said it was supporting the strike by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers against the Farah manufacturing plants in the Southwest because of "the racist nature of the issue in which the Mexican-American work force is being denied the basic right to organize by the all-white management and ownership."

Slide Presentation A social hour preceded the dinner, highlighted by a slide presentation of events in Father Levesque's life. The master of ceremonies for the evening was Samuel Ford, a parishioner and. a classmate of Father Levesque [It the former Msgr. Prevost High School, Fall River. An invocation hefore dinner was given by Rev. Arthur Levesque ancl the princi-' pal speaker was Rev. Francis Mahoney, a seminary classmate of the guest of honor. Entertainment was offered by parishioners Cathy Coelho, Dale Anderson, Lucille Lavalle, Michael Vandal and the 1973 graduating class of' .5t. George's School. Gifts were presented oy representatives of parish organiza. tions, including the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, the Women's.Guild, tHe Couples' Club, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, parochial school children, the parish council, St. Vincent de Paul Camp counselors and the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

Critical Need

TI:lE ANCHOR·-Diocese of Fall River+-Thurs'; July 26, 1973

Continued from Page One warned that "the utilitarian value is fine as long as it is not at the expense of other values." He said that cases such as that of the Mongoloid starvation are nothing new. "But now we should bring them into the open." Father George D. Shoup, who is a Jesuit I;lnd a medical doctor, said there is an. urgent need that basic moral issues be defined in conneCtion with medical practices. "The question comes back to what is the meaning of human existence and what is its value. Even more, the question is what is the meaning of· human suffering and death." Father Shoup said that moral issues can also be overlooked in cases where a patient with no chance for survival is kept aliv~ through extraordinary measures. He said some doctors forget that death can be a "heroic act."

Facts on Faith There is a group of Catholics coiIcerned over what they consider anti-Catholicism in the l)Jnited States. This group has formed a civil rights body, patterned after the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, ~nd the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The group is known as the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. No one advocates a return to the day when Catholics were on the defensive, seeing anti-Cat4olicism lurking at them from behind every article and stat~ment' of disagreement. This is the ghetto mentality, the s~cond-class citizen attitude that has long ago been dissipated, or should have been. ! But'it is a fact that at times errdneous articles are written on things CathoJic, sometimes because people do not have the facts available to them, s,ometimes .because they are met with a "no comment" when they do try to ascertain the facts. ' I

There are some few instances when there is a definite bias.

Need

The Jesuit physician said experts in ethical principles are needed to teach in medical schools and to work in hospitals and other medical institutions. "If we see human life as valuable, then we must do this rather than have a hit-and-miss approach," he said. "Not being taught any ethics is, in a sense, being taught bad ethics." Father Shoup, a native of Philadelph'ia, is a member of the Human Investigating Committee at Yale University. The committee reviews research done on humans.

I '

At any rate, it is well that there 'is a group whose purpose is to correct mistakes made acc~dentally or other, wise. But every, Catholic should be prepared to give the facts on his faith to those asking. Everw Catholic should' be awafle of his prophetic role, his role as one who preaches .the faith by, knowing and being able to e*plain it to others, arid by living it in his own life. I

Holy Year Holds Special Interest For Youth VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI, describing the 1975 Holy Year as "a march of faith," maintained it should hold special interest for modern youth rebelling "against a society soaked in . hyprocrisy." The Pope, speaking at a general audience July 11, said that young people "were the first to speak of authenticity." "Their demand for an idea and moral authenticity has in recent years exploded negatively in contestation and in rebellion against a society soaked in hypocrisy and wallowing in scepticism about the laws of thought and the laws of behavior. Such a society could only increase the suffering and confusion of the youth which sprang from it and which today seems ready to produce a new spirituality." Shows Contrast The Pope also cited some "new . aspirations" of today's youth: "Where is friendship? Where is peace? Where is the free and lyrical expression of a poetry that prays? Where can a person work to serve others? Where can self-mastery be found again? Where can we find again the sacrifice of self for a bigger ideal?" Pope Paul said the Holy Year should throw light on the contrast "between the Gospel and the Babel-like culture at our dis.position, that is, between Christ and the world."

scrutiny. ESEA funds may also become one of the main areas of court challenges by anti-aid groups in the near future. One of the more important areas of immediate concern is for non public school groups to work on state legislation "maximizing forms of assistance" that

have already been declared constitutional. Shaw said there was a general feeling among committee members "that right now about the only thing you can realistically say to people is: If you want Catholic schools, you are going to have to pay for them, and you may have to pay more for them."

BOGOTA (NC)-A solemn cer- . emony marked the signing of a new concordat between the Vatican and Colombia that eliminates the Church's new position as the official religion here. The new agreement will replace the concordat of 1887, which, with some minor reforms, regulated the relations between Colombia and the Vatican. Th'e new document declares that "the Roman Catholic religion is the religion of the gre.at majority of tbe Colombians." The old text had established Catholicism as the "official" religion of the state. Commenting on this provision, Colombian Foreign Minister Alfredo Vasquez Carrizosa said that "the new concordat is a great leap towards complete religious freedom in Colombia." A controversia! provision states that Colombia recognizes complete civil validity of marriages within the Church, although it established that these marriages must be recorded in a civil registry. The old provision that persons seeking only a civil marriage had â&#x20AC;˘ to renounce their faith publicly bas been eliminated. but the new . agreement ~tates that dissolution of Catholic marriages can only be affected by a Church court. Other provisions of the con.cordat state that the Church maintains absolute independence and freedom in regard to the civil PQwers, the absolute right of the Pope to name bishops, although they have to be Colombians, and a guarantee by the state that the Church wi1l be able to "organize, found and administer centers for education at any level under ecclesiastical authority."

'Arrest Ecuador Priest At Peasants' Meeting QUITO (NC) - Father Rogelio Hausse was arrested by police during a demonstration by peasants who were dem;inding the signing of a new law on agrarian reform. The priest was arrested inside the church in Canal', while he was getting ready to celebrate Mass for the thousands of demonstrators, most of them Indians. Father Hausse was taken to the city of Cuenca, some 70 miles from Canal', where he was detained six hours, after which he was freed. He had been accused of criticizing the government duri!1g the speech he gave at the meeting. . The Movement of the Christian Left immediately released a statement saying that "Father Hausse was arrested by the police at the instigation of big landowners, who' are frightened by the massive demonstration of peasants and are trying to defend economic interests and to maintain the traditional struc-· tures of exploitation of the indians". .

Seek to Help Drought Victims

Trying to stretch the grocery budget for our family of 10 is disheartening. My regular supermarket was having a special on chickens, so I de~ided to buy 30, and freeze them. The meat manager wouldn't l.et me have them. I argued that since I need three per meal, and we have the chicken; Y2 hour to grind it; eggs; miscellaneous ingredchicken twice a week, that's 10 ients; and another 1 Y2 hours to only about a month's sup- actually make the loaf. This ecply. "Sorry, lady. I don't have 30 chickens." Hogwash. He just didn't want to sell them to me.

I asked for a raincheck; he could order them. He couldn't do that. So I suggested I speak to the store manager. (He knows what I spend there every week!) The meat manager decided he could order them, if I would pick them up on the following Thursday. I went back on Thursday. He didn't have them. After another round, which the store manger happened to overhear, he said he'd order them again. Several days later, I got my 58 pounds of chicken. Family Butchers The kids were enthusiastic... ·for the first half hour. We cut wings, drumsticks, and thighs, packaging them for fried chicken. We filleted the chicken cutlets, and all the carcasses went into two pots with the giblets for soup. I was thrilled with my economy. I had six meals of fried chicken, three meals of cutlets, two pots of soup, and had picked all the bits of meat from the bones, ground it with the giblets, and made sandwich spread. At 49c a pound, the 58 pounds of chicken had cost $28.42. Not had, for 11 meals. But it took four hours to do the work. If I figured the cost of the kids' time at $1 per hour, and inine at $3 an hour, the chickens then cost me 90c a pound. Even though no one gets paid, I always consider time when figuring economy. Then I learned about a local butcher. He'd cut the chickens the way I wanted them, pack them for the freezer, label them, and deliver them. . Jor 79c a pound. I could "save" llc a pound by having the but,cher do the work. I again made chicken soup. It was delicious. But this time, instead of just grinding the bits of meat for sandwiches, I decided to try a terrific recipe I saw for chicken loaf. It was layers of ground chicken and chopped eggs, molded together with a jellied chicken stock. It seemed quite a bit of work, but it would convert those bits into a dinner instead of just sandwi~hes.

Results Horrible I did some arthmetic on this, too. It took 2 hours to pick off

UNITED NATIONS (NC)-In the parched West Afritan countries bordering the southern edge of the Sahara, the rainy season has arrived-.,.but not the rains. The worst drought in 60 years rema,ins unbroken after five consecutive seasons without adequate food or water for .humans and animals, and the death toll mounts as famine prevails in Mauratania, Mali, Senegal, Chad, Niger, and Upper Volta.

conomical meal came to a cool $12.00. Worse than that, it tasted horrible! Do you know that at $1.49 a pound, I could have bought eight pounds of roast beef for the sl!me investments? Now, if I could just figure out how to prove it's actually more economical for the family to eat out.....

Objects T<;> Massive Birth Control Program ASUNCION (NC)-In a report on talks aimed at easing Churchstate tensions, Bishop 'Felipe Santiago Benitez of Villarica said that government-backed birtb control policies mar what otherwise could be termed an improvement in Church-state relations. The bishop, who heads the Paraguayan Bishops' Conference (PBC), said at the end of its meeting here that the launcbing of a massive birth. control campaign, the firs Un this nation of 2.2 minion, "is causing deep pastoral concern" in Church cirdes. The. bishops of Paraguay consider such a campaign unjustified in view of the low population density, but object to it principally "on moral grounds, because of its massive, ,indiscriminate use of contraceptives," the bislxlp added. . The campaign has the backing of the 19-year-old government' of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner. Since 1968 there have been repeated clashes between him and the 'bishops on the issues of political prisoners, freedom of education and farmworkers' right to. organize.

Church Union Depends ' On Anglican Church LONDON (NC)-Responsibility for the succesful progress of the current move toward church union in England rests largely with the Anglican Church of England, the established church, a United' Reformed Church 'leader said here. In an address to Methodists, Dr. Kenneth Slack, moderator of the general assembly of the Unite:! Reformed Church, fo'r~ed by a merger of the Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches -in Britain, said: "To the United Reformed Church has been given the privilege of setting things going. To the Church of England in large measure is given the responsibility of determining whether we can go forward in hope." Dr. Slack had earlier said that "candor compels me to say that we yearn for our Anglican brethren to overcome those party tensions which manifested themselves disturbingly in consideration of the Anglican-Methodist report"-when the Anglican Methodist Churches failed to achieve union a year ago.

Both of the sponsoring religious organizations have been represented On the scene in West Africa for months past, working in cooperation with UN and other personnel to mitigate the famine conditions threatening the existence of six million of the drought zone's combined population of 25 million.

Seek Settlement Of Controv·ersial Scout Prog.r(Jm PHILADELPHIA (NC) - A Catholic youth official here sensed an "apparent change of heart" in Girl Scout leadors following a meeting on the group's controversial "To Be a Woman" program. "They sent a whole new team of representatives, which, Xthink is significant," said FatheJ' Francis X. Schmidt, "and they assured us that they would not violate the national guidelines, which provide for consideration of individuals' religious beliefs in formulating programs. They listened to us and took notes throughout the meeting, asking questions in a spirit of cooper· ation and understanding." Father Schmidt, director of the archdiocesan' Department of Youth Activities (DYA), spoke after the meeting with Scout officials here. Sex-Related Material The archdiocese has attacked the program as an attempt to teach values opposed to the heliefs of Catholic Scouts. The program, which contains much sexrelated material, was or·iginally intended as a merit badge for 12- to 14-year-old scouts. The controversy had threatened to create an open break between the scouts and the archdiocese.. Carol Jenson, a Girl Scout Council staff member, said she believed that the two sides would reach a solution. "We established a working dialogue" she said, "and reestablished the attUudes of mutual' respect and trust that have always existed in the past between the archdiocese and the scouts."

UNITED NATIONS (NC) South Vietnam's representatives at the United Nations have challenged Amnesty International, an organization that seeks the release of those imprisoned for their beliefs, and similar organizations to ask Vietnamese Communist authorities to provide information on captured South Vietnamese civilians. Nguyen Huu Chi, South Vietnam's permanent observer at the JJN, urged the organizations, which have been pressing Saigon for the release of political prisoners and whose members profess to be neither Communist nor pro-Communist, to ask North Vietnam and the Vietcong for information about more than 66,000 South Vietnamese civilians captured and detained since 1954, accordi!lg to South Vietnamese figures. Chi urged the organizations to inquire "where they are detained, and what are their conditions of living and their treatment like, when they will be released, and especially why the following priest and nuns, for instance, are detained." Appended to the statement were the names of Father Nguyen Trung Hung, w~o disappeared from Tan Ganh in April, 1972, and 17 nuns and two school teachers captured in April, 1972, at Dakto and Kon Horing. The South Vietnamese statement was intended as a rebuttal to assertions that South Vietnam holds 200,000 prisoners, in viola; tion of the Paris agreements.

Life Foundation Spon'sors Research WASHINGTON (NC) - The .physiological aspects of women's fertile yea.rs are being studied intensely by researchers sponsored by the Human Life Foundation .(HLF), an organization founded in response to the encY~Jical Humanae Vitae. U. S. Catholic bishops provided seed money in 1968 to establish the HLF, which was given the responsibility of sponsoring research on natural means of family planning. In his encyclical, Pope Paul banned artificial means of birth . control for Catholics but asked that more research be conducted to improve methods of child spacing and natural family planning. Lawrence Kane, executive director of HLF, said that he sees "the possibility that more people are using effect,ive natural family planning methods today than before Humanae Vitae."

Dutch Urge Pope To Speak Out On Mozambique AMSTERDAM (NC}-Twentyfour prominent Dutch Catholics, including five members of the cabinet, a former prime minister, and several Church officials, have urged that Pope Paul VI speak out publicly about "the violation of the rights of man in Mozambique," Portugal's East African territory. The Dutch appeal was made in an open letter to Cardinal Maurice Roy of Quebec, president of the Pontifical Commission on Justice and Peace, several days after the Vatican had disclosed that it had protested through diplomatic channels to Portugal concerning reported massacres of villagers in Mozambique by Portuguese troops. The Dutch 'letter quoted from a letter by papal secretary of state, Cardinal Jean Villot, sent on July 5 to France's annual Social Week. "The Church would neglect its mission if she would not bear witness to the major issues that concern the spiritual and temporal well-being of man," Cardinal Villot wrote. "For that reason the Church is obliged to speak out about all concrete problems, including political ones an~ to make public her opinion concerning war, violence, the class struggle, international justice and the decline of morals." 'SUent Support' The Dutch letter acknowledged that a positive influence can be exercised through diplomatic channels and through contacts with local bishops. But, the signers said, injustice can become so tremendous that it is not permitted any longer to keep silent in public. The signers asked why the Vatican had not so far issued a public protest against what is happening in Mozambique. "Precisely because the Church has' a great influence in Portugal and in the Portuguese territories in southern Africa," they said, "the absence of a public protest can easily be seen or interpreted as a silent support of the unjust. policy of Portugal."

Rules Priest Too Educated to Work

OVIEDO (NC) - The Labor Court of Oviedo province ruled that the "high level, of schooling" required by a priest is "incompatible" with a worker's functions. The ruling was established after a priest-worker, identified only as J.A.N., took his case to court. The priest had been fired from his job with an aluminum company in the industrial city of Aviles, because he "failed to say he was a priest when he was hired." Although the priest had been hired after going through a training course, the Labor Court considered that the allegations' of the company were justified because "a priest has too much schooling to be a worker." A strong movement has been developing among priests in Spain in the last few years. They get some specialized training and go to work along with regular workers in the industrial areas of the country, as a way of taking their Apostolate to the poor.

Decry Anglican Church Apathy On Abortion LONDON (NC) - More than 100 prominent Anglicans have accused the Church of England of apathy in the fight against abortion. In a letter to Anglican Archbishop Michael Ramsey of Canterbury, the group said that "the general apathy of Anglicans and their leaders in the present situation has done more to bring the Church of England into disrepute than any other issue in the past 50 years." The letter, organized by Nicholas Fogg, an Anglican journalist, included signatures of doctors- nurses, clergymen and theological students. Copies have been sent to all Anglican bishops. Easy Way Out "Doctors are being blackmailed by some politicans to act as technicians in an attempt to overcome problems for rhich society refuses to accept responsbility," it said. "We feci that as a Church we should fight for better social conditions and more adequate help for unsupported mothers rather than allow politicians to try to use abortion as a cheap and easy way out of such problems. . . . _ "At present over 460 unborn children are being destroyed daily mainly for reasons of social convenience. Surely no Church can condone such a situation by its silence. . . . "Anglican nurses and doctors, too, have been in the vanguard opposing the prescnt law despite the fact that they know their refusal to kill indiscriminately jeopardizes their hopes of promotion. Yet they have been given virtually no support by the bishops. . . . ' 'Mass Hysteria' "We consider it shameful that a child may be deleted simply because it is illegitimate. . . . We all believe in responsible parenthood. But we object strongly to people and organizations with vested interests deliberately promoting mass hysteria with regard to increased population, while referring to abortion ,as a second line of defense if contraception fails. "All Christians must accept that abortion should never be used as a method of birth control." Fogg, 29, told the press that more young people like himself are increasingly becoming concerned about Church leaders who rarely speak out unless they are confident that what they say is in the popular trend.

Holy Cross Fathers Support Amnesty ,BRIDGEPORT (NC)-A statement supporting unconditional amnesty "for the sake of reconciliation and a new beginning" has been approved by a majority of the delegates to the annual convention of the Eastern province of the Holy Cross Fathers. Amnesty is suggested for all deserters, draft resisters, veterans who received less than honorable discharges, as well as those currently facing charges. "An unconditional amnesty," the statement said, "would free us for a responsible and serious effort to rebuild our divided people."

BISHOP JOINS FARM WORKERS: Auxiliary Bishop George Evans leans against a truck to rest during a break in picketing at Lamont, Calif.

Former' President Scores Chile Regime SANTIAGO (NC) - Former President Edward Frei said that "Chile is witnessing a moral, economic and political catastrophe" under the Marxist regime of President Salvador Allende. Frei, who is president of the Senate, added that "the economic crisis could be surmounted in 10 years, but the political crisis will. take much longer, because there is evident destruction of the rule of law." , Frei and other leading personaiities, including Cardinal Raul' Silva of Santiago, and Juan Vasque2;, 'head of the Methodist Church in Chile, were asked to state their opinions on the political situation of the country by the Academic Senate of the Catholic University of Valparaiso. Both religious leaders said that "the Church has been able to continue its activ,ities freely, while enjoying respect and tolerance from the government."

confirmed the fears of widespread violE;nce against which the bishops had warned. Frei's Christian Democratic Party, the strongest in Chite, had declared in May that the real problem is one of "whether development would be made withdn freedom, or at the price of economic disaster and tyranny."

Pastoral Council For Baltimore

BALTIMORE (NC) -Cardinal Lawrence Shehan of Baltimore has reestablished an archdiocesan pastoral council (APâ&#x201A;Ź) to give all Catholics in the archdiocese a voice in archdiocesan pastoral activities. In announcing formation of the APC, Cardinal Shehan said it was a response to the Second Vatican CounCil's' call "to get tbe,entire people of God involved in the activities of the Church." He said that "well over twoCardinal Raul Silva, however, thirds of the parish and area said that he is very concerned councils" have ratified the proabout the "existing divisions posed constitution for the APC.

Political Deterioration The Christian Democrats accused Allende's coalition Unidad Popular (UP) party of being unable to run the country. They cited sharp drop in industrial and mineral production, agriculture, construction, investment and in foreign trade, and scored the government for playing too much politics. Further signs of political deterioration came in an open letter addressed recently by the magistrates of the Supreme Court to President Allende, saying that "what we are experiencing is not a mere crisis of the'rule of law, but the actual 'breaking of th'e law."

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Efforts to achieve Christian unity must begin "with the priests and their people," according to the new coadjutor bishOp of the episcopal diocese of Milwaukee. "If negotiations were to remain at only the higher level, they would be doomed," Bishop Thomas E. Gaskell said in an interview with the Catholic Herald Citizen, the newspaper of the Milwaukee Catholic archdiocese. The new bishop spoke enthusiastically about the grassroots developments in Episcopal-Catholic relationships here. . He praised the covenant church concept, in which 18 Episcopal and 18 Catholic churches have agreed to share ministries, facilities, prayers and projects insofar as they are able., Two sets of the covenant parishes have publicly signed covenants in ceremonies before joint congregations. Bisbop Gaskell said he enjoyed a kind of covenant relationship in his most recent position as dean of St. Luke cathedral in Orlando, Fla. St. James Catholic church was across the street. The pastor, Father David Page, made his church available for an Episcopal diocesan convention Mass and the two churches have shared stations of the cross services.

Proposes 'Double' Church Membership PARIS (NC)-Tha Protestant prior of an ecumenical monastic community has raised the possibility of "double membership" in the Catholic and Protestant churches. PriOlo Roger Schutz, writing in an ecumenical review, put the problem this way: "Trying to achi~ve the unity of Christians, we ~ind ourselves caught in a dilemma: even with a view to a more universal communion, we cannot break with the communion that gave us birth. "To disown one's origins is not in the dynamic of modern man. For the hinge generation, will we then discover the possibility of a "double memberships?"

The magistrates accused the police of refusing to follow the orders of the courts of justice, and stressed that Allende was aware of this. They also proFriendship tested the repeated use of exec- ' utive amnesty by the president It is mutual respect which to free those jaHed for common makes friendship lasting. crimes. Cardinal Newman

Infinitely powerful energies are mediated to us through infin1tely delicate mechanisms. God tells us, by analogy, to use power only with tb:l utmost respect for fragile things, including our "fragile" fellow men. Not Infinite Again, the oceans which we all must share are not infinite. They are ulotimately cisterns with

Tb:lY would 'become lifeless sewers. This risk seems remote. But only 20 per cent of humanity is polluting the oceans in a big way so' far. Even so, tideless seas like the Mediterranean may be dead in 15 years. No one nation can stop the risk. The lesson? We have to work together as neighbours if the great

ticulate matter - dirt, soil, smoke, dust~we put into the air is increasing world temperature by 0.2 per cent a year. Scientists are not sure what the cumulative result will be. What they do know is that it could disastrously destroy the minute balances that give the whole human family climates with which they can live. The lesson? Only a humanity pursuing common and responsbile policies can hope to survive. So the unity of mankind is not a dream or a utopia. It is plain, inescapable scientific fact.

tion for justice is a particularly difficult one. The Bishop's Synodal Document insists that Christians must realize in a quite special way the need for planetary justice. They must think not simply of their fellow citi~ zens within their own country. They have to extend their vision to cover people they can never really see as a concrete physical reality. It may be suggested to them by television, but it is not really lived and experienced as genuine, personal experience. How then are we to be made aware of the planetary dimension of justice? What should we tcach? What must we learn? It is here that some of thc most re~ent insights of the scientific. and technological commu, nity may begin to give us some new answers. One we know already - the vision of Planet Earth, seen by the astronauts from the moon, coloured, beautiful, shining, full of life, yet unexpressibly small in the dark infinity of outer space. Every school room should carry that picture, every child grow up feeling not the big scale but the astonishing smallness of the only certain home of life in the wholc of the cosmos. But a picture is not enough. Even now, its .impact is receding. What is needed .is something more sustained and solid in thl') educational process-and that is a thorough "citizen's" grounding in the realities of our newly unfolding studies dn ecology and environment. Children should learn these realities as part of, the regular school curriculum. Seminaries, novitiate. Christian colleges, parish groups, adult education efforts should .all include them, too. They add up ,to a new dimension of our understanding both of the wonders of God's creation and of ti}e total interdependence of all living things on earth. From this follows the respect we must pay to the natural world which, as good stewards, we must enbance and complete for the greatcr glory of Our Creator. . Let us take three examples. All life on earth is sustained hy the inconceivable energy pouring from the sun where every second, 657 million tons of hydrogen fuse together to form 653 million tons of helium and the balance is flung off in energy to power the entire solar system. But we can use a billionth part of the energy only because infinitesmal organisms - pbytoplankton-on the ocean's surface

Presbyterianism takes its name from its form of church government and its theology from a 16th-century French lawyer and reformer, John Calvin. The various Protestant churches in this tradition are known as Presbyterian, Reformed or Calvinist. Besides the 4,!>00,000 Presbyterians in the United States there are substantial numbers in Scotland, Holland, South Africa, Switzerland, FranCe, and northern J:eland and smaller numbers in Germany, Hungary, England, and mission fields.

WHALEN

The name "Presbyterian" comes from a Greek word meaning "elder." Within the congregation the minister is known as the . teaching elder while a group of elected and ordained laity are called the ruling elders. Together they form the Session and 20 to 30 Sessions comprise a Presbytery which corresponds to a' diocese. The Presbyterian system rejects the authority of hishops but unlike the Baptists and strict Congl'eg~tionalists it recognizes a ruling body beyond the local Church. Career of Reform .'J-

In his book, "Palestine Before the Hebrews," Dr. Emmanuel Ananti tells the fascinating and mysterious story of the first Jerichoans, who built a fortified city with a temple and public buildings 4,000 years before the pyramids were built in Egypt. Scientists call this era Neolithic, which literally means the New Stone Age. It was an age in which the primitive hunter and fisherman learned to plant, grow and harvest crops, but more important it was the age in which man learned to trade. Trading in Ideas Through trade man was able to obtain materials in regions other than those where they grew and were produced.

Ruksenas' Book Relates Lithuanian Sailor's Story

Visuals Continued from Page Sixteen

As important ~s it is painful such is Algis Ruksenas' book Day of Shame (McKay, 750 Third Ave., New York 10017. $8.95). The day in question is November 23, 1970. And what makes it shameful is the treatment then given a Lithuanian crewman when he sought asylum on the U.S. . At the Boston district office there was a confusion of authorCoast Guard Cutter Vigilant ity. The commanding officer was just off the coast of Martha's away on sick leave. The acting

cause of bis criticism of the Soviet Union's abuse of his country. Although qualified as a radioman, he was assigned menial tasks on the Sovetskaya Litva, a mother ship of the Soviet fishing fleet. This vessel had a' rendezvous with the American cutter, at which Soviet. fishing practices were to be discussed. With very goo.d reaso-n, it was suspected that the Soviets y.oere violating regulations and agreements as to limits on fishing, for example, using fine-mesh nets, the Soviets were catching finger- . lings and thus utterly depleting the fishing grounds. ' Pointless Conference With typical arrogance, the Soviet ship had, on-this day, come far within U. S. territorial waters and was a mere 800 yards off the Massachusetts shore. The Vigilant approached, the two .vessels tied up together, and the American conferees, Coast Guard personnel and civilians went aboard the Soviet ship. The conference, as could haye been expected, was pointless and, fruitless. The Soviets served up lashings of food and drink, but in discussion they were evasive or deceitful. The Americans got not a glimpse of the actual fishing fleet. A few of the Soviets later visited the Vigilant. During the day, the two crews lined the rails, caHed out greetings, exchanged cigarettes. One man on the Soviet vessel stood alone, scanning the Vigilant as if memorizing it. His expression .was serious, and he seemed to be trying to convey something. At 11 A.M. he discreetly called across, "I want political asylum," and his gestures indicated that he planned to jump later, either across the space between the ship or into the water. He was Simonas Kudirl{a. Succession of Errors There then began an incredible series of foul-ups. The Vigilant got in touch by radio with the First Coast Guard District, Boston, seeking instructions. On that day the communications system was working badly. The more secure system broke down altogether, and the alternate sys: tern functioned eratically and was being monitored by the Soviets aboard their ship.

commandant, instead of making a decision on his own as he should have, telephoned to the absent admiral who, although not then in command, proceeded to issue orders. His orders were based on ignorance. Not only was he ignorant of the situation at sea. He was also ignorant of political reality, of international law, and of American policy. He directed that Kudirka (to him,' a deserter) should, if he succeeded in deserting, be returned to the Soviets, by force if necessary. This is what eventually happened, but only after a succession of errors and horrors which will astonish" ancl infuriate the reader. Noting Done Washington became involved, but remained uninvolved. Meaning what? Meaning that there was contact both with the Washington headquarters of tbe Coast Guard and with the State Department. But messages were garbled, and nothing was done. The al.1t~orities who, presumably, would know what should be done and would set it in'motion were never reached. Kudirka finally n:wde his leap, late in the afternoon. Once on board the Vigilant, be was hidden in a tiny toilet room. By this time, three officers were still on the American ship, reluctant to leave although business was concluded. It was evident that they knew of Kudirka's presence and were determined to get him back. They did. Sovereignty over the Vigilant was, in effect, yielded to tbem. They brought seven more of their number a:board, and S!!t out in pursuit of Kudirka. Seizing him, they brutally beat and kicked him. More than once he got away. The chase continued up and down decks. All in all, the Soviets did as they liked aboard the Vigilant (vigilant?) for 45. minutes. The American crew was sternly told by its own :command. "Stay .clear. It's none of your business." Outburst of Indignation After much more savagery, Kudirka was subdued, and a Coast Guard contingent was directed to return him and his captors to the Soviet vessel in the Vigilant's launch. This was done. The Soviet captain sent back to the American captain, by. way of thanks, a bottle of whiskey. Were it not for the outrage of the AmeriCan civilians in the conference de!t!gation, and for the work of radio and journalistic newsmen in New Bedford, it is likely that this ugly and disgraceful occurrence would have been hushed up. But word of it was spread 'locally, then nationwide, and there was an outburst of indignation. Three Coast Guard officers were disciplined for their part in the fiasco, but only mildly in proportion to their failure. It is no exagfieration to say that this is

Jericho, nestled in one of the hottest and lowest spots on the earth, apparently became the first town and the first trading center in the world Along with trade came wealth, and along with wealth came greed and covetousness, and thus we find that man's first center of trade was also man's first fortified city.

New Translation Of Catena Aurea

Stone-Age World By modern stamlards Jericho was a hick town of 2,000 people, but in a Stone-Age world where few· men had emerged from caves and mud huts it was a veritable metropolis. Dr. Ananti relates a variety of interesting discoveries of the archeologists studying pre-pottery age Jericho. Among them was the fact that the cat first became domesticated there about four thousand years earlier than any other known place. Of far greater significance is the fact that the town was su"r· rounded by "an enomorous defensive wall built .of stones, some of them weighing several tons ... The fortifications included one, and perhaps more, massive round towers, which are a model of sophistication architec; ture." AmaZingly enough the Jerichoans of 9,000 years ago even built a inoat around their city. Scholars at Jericho have also discovered from the same era· water storage reservoirs, and a cultic temple area. All this in spite of the fact that the same people had not yet learned to make pottery. Sign of Leadership The presence of the f9rtifications and public buildings indicate some type of slave labor and the whole .complex reflects an unbelievable genius for leadership and ·organization for men still in the Stone Age. Archeologists and other sch'olars have sought to solve the mystery of why the world's first town and first center of trade would develop in this particular spot. Hunting, farming, even fishing (on the assumption that the Dead Sea might not have been quite so dead), could not account for the phenomenon. The answer to the mystery, that Jericho was a ce.nter of trade in the Neolithic age, was provided in part by the discovery in the ruins of obsidian, turquoise, various colorings and shells, known to be from areas far removed from the Jordan Valley.. On the other hand, Jerichoans had close at hand natural materials in great demand even in 7,000 Be. In the dawn of the era of. farming there was a great need for salt as man began to hoil meat and eat cereals. Jericho had an abundant supply of salt in the Dead Sea. Another item provided by the Dead Sea was bitumen, which is still found in large lumps floating on the sea's surface. The ancients had' two different names for the Dead Sea-the Salt Sea and the Lake of Asphalt. Finally, there was sulphur, which is still gathered from the plain of Jericho, and was useful for preparing early medicines, lighting fires and for ritualistic and magical purposes.

ROME (NC)-The first complete and critioal translation Jnto English of St. Thomas Aquinas' compilation of comments by the Fathers of the Church on the synoptic Gospels has been completed. This 800,000-word translation of St. Thomas' Catena Aurea (without the section on St. John's Gospel) is the work of Father Martin Toal, a 71-year-Old Irishman. Father Toal required 10 years to translate the Catena Aurea's sections of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. After visiting the United States and England to discuss publication, Father Toal will reo turn to Rome to launch into the fourth and final section of the Catena Aurea, a compilation of comments by thz Fathers of the Gospel of St. John. The translation of that section, if carried out at the same speed as the sections on the synoptic Gospels, should take five years. It is approximately 400,000 words long. St. Thomas wrote his Catena at the behest of Pope Urban IV in order to Clear up confusion over the teachings of the Ch.urch Fathers on Gospel questions. A catena-"chain" in Latin-is a running commentary, linking excerpts from patristic explanations of the Gospels. 5t. Thomas' catena was given the qualification "aurea" or "golden" because of its excellence.
