Cardinal Says Makes Priest's Consecration Total MILAN (NC) - "Priestly celibacy is an absolute essential to the total consecration the priest must make and which the world has a right to expect of him," said John Joseph Cardinal Wright in a definitive interview with Milan's prestigious daily "Avvenire." The prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, who recently moved from Pittsburgh to take up residence in Rome, Cardinal Wright had stern things to say about the current clerical critics and some nice things to say about them as well. The interview served as a sounding board for him to expound on the experimentation in the Church, the priest in politics and how he as a pastor would try to handle the "crisis of identity" which turns so many young priests away from their vocations. On celibacy, the cardinal offered as his stand the contention that a man in love with his wife and devoted to his children could not have the same totality of generosity in his heart for his priestly work. Further, the prelate felt that there is now becom·

ing vibrant in the Church the sense of co-responsibility with the lay people in the ordinary functions of parish life. "This should free the priest more to do what only a priest can do and ought to do, allowing him to devote his entire heart to his work," stressed the cardinal.

JOHN CARDINAL WRiGHT

As for the clerical critics of the day, especially those demanding a change in the structure of the Church, he observed that they are always inventing structures to put in the place of the ones removed. "I do not know if these cries for change have been sufficiently thought out. In fact, their contention that change is necessary still rests with them for the burden of proof. Let them contest, never deny that, but let them be logical, convincing, and, in the final analysis, let them give way to the judgment of the people of God." In responding to the value of "experimentation;" the American cardinal stated simply that the Church for centuries had been an experimenter' and would continue to be so. He seemed to draw the line, though, with priests becoming involved in politics. Careful to avoid speaking of Italian affairs because, as he said, he is a guest in this country, Cardinal Wright cited the examples we have in Europe and Latin America where the involvement of the priest could Turn to Page Six

Ur9~S Public Hearing for Ma.ryknoll Episcopalian Rector Asks Intercession

Nun

VATICAN CITY (NC) - For the first time in the history of the papal Swiss Guards one of its members has deserted the service of the Pope. News that Swiss Guard Kaspar Holzgang has been missing from duty at the Vatican for three months was disclosed by Rome newspapers. Vatican authorities have maintained silence on the disappearance of the young Swiss recruit who had entered the Guards last year but who left the barracks inside Vatican City three months ago without leaving any message or indication of his intention to return. But because he remained missing. for a prolonged period and carried with him a Vatican document entitling him to various privileges of a citizen of Vatican City, Vatican authorities finally informed Italian police of his disappearance when it became clear he .had not returned to his family in Switzerland. The Swiss Guards were formed in 1505 as a special g'uard of the popes a'nd there seems to be no record in the guards' history of any similar case of desertion. The Guards' rules carry no penalty for desertion. In recent months there have been reports of some dissatisfaction among the. Swiss Guards with pay scales and duty schedules, but there was no indication of the reason for Holzgang's disappearance.

an operating deficit of $422,000. In order to carryon its essential programs, the archdiocese had to draw from its limited reserves in 1967 as well as in 1968, Coadjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne said when he released the report. The decision to disclose archdiocesan finances' was.' made more than a year ago, Archbishop Byrne said, because he wished to keep Catholics informed of the See's expenditures made possible by their contributions. Education Priority He emphasized that the archdiocese will have continuing financial needs if it is to fulfill its mission of worship, education, and charity. The archdiocese has been embroiled in a financial controversy ever since it announced, several months ago, the formation of a fund drive to collect $3.5 million. Several organizations, including the Twin Citi~s Catholic Interracial Council, voiced opposition to the driv~, questioning "the priorities and amounts of money allocated" in the appeal. The fund drive's top priurity was focused on support of the archdiocesan school system. When Archbishop Byrne announced this priority, he commended those groups criticizing the appeal for their interest.

The action was taken in the closing days of the current legislative session. The Catholic Conference of Ohio presented a long-range edu- , cational program during the past year pointing out the legal, medical, and moral objections to the proposed legislation.

Michigan Governor Sympathetic: To Aid for Nonpubli.c Schools LANSING (NC) - Michigan Gov. William G. Milliken expressed belief that a "JTIeans to , ease the plight, of nonpublic schools" is one of the major decisions to be made by the Commission on Educational Reform. His mention of' nonpublic schools in an interim report on the work of the commission was coftSidered significant by supporters of state aid for nonpublie schools. In May, the state House of Representatives, by a vote of 56-50, defeated a bill to provide more than $40 million in state aid to non public schools, but the Senate adopted a resolution urging the commission to consider the aid question. Gov. Milliken remained neutral during the "parochiaid" battIe but has acknowledged on several, occasions his "sympathy" for the financial problems' facing Michigan's nearly 1,000 non pUblic schools.

MILWAUKEE (NC)-The big problems facing Catholic elemenetary school principals are the same through-

"means to ease the plight of 'nonpublic schools." The governor invited the public to submit ideas on the proposed reform plan. He also urged public backing. , "The governor and the legislature cannot possibly meet this challenge without your support," he declared. "And your support cannot be expected - nor deserved-unless a convincing case is made for the need for reform and for a plan to accomplish it," He said education is the greatest challenge facing the state today. The existing system "is not equal to assuring quality education in this state," and is "antiquated, inadequate, and inequitable. Framed in the last century, it does not fit the educational needs of today," he declared. ' "It is sad - but tragically true -that at a time when man has started leaving footprints on the moon, many thousands of men and women are not qualified for the path to gainful employment on earth," he said.

Reform Program Regardless of what the commission recommends for non public schools, supporters of "parochiSCOl!Ats aid" are expected to make it a principal issue in this Fall's session of the legislature.

No Collusion Clears Waterbury Catholic Schools In Segregated Issue' WATERBURY (NC)-The U.S. Justice, Department has denied it meant to imply that Catholic and public schools in this city were in collusion to foster racial discrimination. Asst. U.S. Atty. GEm: Jerris Leonard clarified a "letter of intent" previously issued by the Justice Department concerning de facto school segregation in Waterbury. In a letter to Msgr. James A. Connelly. s'uperintendent of schools for the Hartford archdiocese, Leonard said "there was certainly no intention on our part to indicate that there was any 'collusion' between the (public school) board and the Catholic school system which resulted in discriminatio·n." "It was our intention to indicate that the .Waterbury school board was providing services to children in the Catholic school system which were not being provided to children in the public schools and the result thereof was to establish a pattern and practice of discrimination," he wrote. Leonard said the Justice Department did not intend "to indicate that the Catholic school

system approved of, participated in, or was a party to the discrimination which we believe attends the public school system." 'Letter of Intent' The Justice Department has threatened the Waterbury public school board with legal action unless steps are taken to end de facto segregation in the public schools. In its original "letter of intent" to the board, ' the department charged there was an "arrangement" whereby white pupils "escaped" predominantly nonwhite school districts and attended virtually allwhite parochial schools at public expense. This was understood to refer to bus transportation provided parochial school children at public e?,pense. Charges of an "arrangement" were quickly denied by Msgr. Connelly. He said there was "no collusion, no arrangement" to foster discrimination.

out the country. That was the consensus among Religious principals who completed a two-week institute in the administration of parochial grade schools at Marquette University here. , The institute, which drew 61 lldministrators from all parts of the country, was directed by Edward F. DeRoche, associate 'professor of education. Problems He outlined major problems facing Cat hoI i c elementary school principals as: dual roles as full time principal and teacher, increasing need for funds, communication with pastors, consolidations, public relations, utilizing lay school boards and staffing along with conducting in-service and faculty meetings. He said principals flind it difficult to supervise staff members when they're involved with teaching duties all day. He also felt public relations was important because the "Catholic elementary school has a lot going for it that the public and even pastors and bishops don't know about," Some of the Sisters explained ways in which the problems might be solved. .

Educators Seek Imbalance End In Waterbury

Girl; Two Boys Damage Church

WATERBURY (N C)

Catholic school administrators here are assisting the city in meeting U.S. Justice Department demands for an end to racial imbalance in the public schools. Msgr. James A. Connelly, superintendent of schools of the Hartford archdiocese, said the school administrators and diocesan officials, who have twice discussed the local problem, have a third meeting scheduled later this month. He said the first two meetings were held before the Justice Department sent Waterbury's public school officials a letter charging de facto racial segregation in the city's schools. Dual Effort Msgr: Connelly earlier denied an allegation by the Justice Department that Waterbury officials had reached an "arrangement" with Catholic schools "that allows white students to escape predominantly non-white school districts in which they reside and to attend the practicallY all-white parochial school system at the expense of non-white students and parents." Meanwhile, Waterbury public officials proposed to the Justice Department a plan whereby some 700 minority group children would be ,bused from predominantly black school districts to schools in other areas of the city and the suburbs. They said they hoped parochial schools, through a companion bus plan, could absorb about 200 of the pupils. At the same time, a Catholic layman who is an officil;ll of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People charged segregation in Catholic schools and said a "complete re- ' appraisal" of· the Church schools is needed. Wilber G. Smith of St. Michael's parish, Hartford, state Urban Program Director of the NAACP, feels "there is no hope" for effective Catholic response to the needs of minority groups unless Church leadership "concerns itself with the gravity of the situation and confronts the problem of racism publicly." . Of the 5,140 children enrolled in Waterbury's 11 parochial schools, 103 are black. Five schools have no black students and four have fewer than 10.

Christian-Moslem Building Opened MECULA (NC) - A Catholic chapel, a mosque and a school, all under one roof here in Mozambique, were opened by Bishop Eurico Dias Nogueira of Vila Cabral, who was accompanied by the local Moslem leader, Cassima Abdala. The bishop celebrated Mass outside the new building and, after the reading of the Gospel, spoke of the need for intellectual development, and said a school should aim not only at teaching the way to worldly success but also the way to God. Referring to the fact that the Moslems had expressed the wish . to make part of the edifice a' mosque, the bishop said, "On Fridays, our Moslem brothers will come here to pray to Allah, who is, after all, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and, on Sundays, Christians will come here to worship the same God of the Old Testament, through the intermediary of Jesus Christ, consubstantial with " the Father."

PENSACOLA (NC) - Sacred Heart church here was a shambles. Policeman L. W. Ingram said: "Everything that could be moved was turned over or broken." The desecration, Policeman Ingram said, was the work of a girl just turned teenager and two 10-year-old boys. Damage was estimated at $5,000. Ingram said the youngsters went to the church sacristy, where they plugged "the sink and then flooded the room; ruining a number of vestments. Other vestments and robes were thrown about the floor. Statues were broken, the altar overturned, missals and other materials strewn all over the chudch. Msgr. Leo Byrnes, pastor, said the tabernacle, altar and crucifix were not too greatly harmed. The pastor expressed his gratitudes to more than 100 persons "for the excellent clean-up job they did" when the report of the vandalism spread through the parish neighborhood. Catholics and non-Catholics, many crying as they worked side-by-side, cleaned up the attractive two-year-old church.

Declines Liturgical Week Advertising

Stresses, Social Sciences in Seminary

MILWAuKEE (NC) - The Catholic Herald Citizen, .Milwaukee archdiocesan newspaper, has declined advertising for the 1969 Liturgical Week scheduled here from Aug. 25 to 28. Father Thomas R. Leahy, executive editor of the paper, said the policy was adopted in line with a letter which Archbishop William E. Cousins of Milwaukee issued' last March concerning the conference. The archbishop's letter, Father Leahy said, stated he did not advocate or support the scheduled meeting.

Cites Priest's Role in World of Today SAN ANTONIO (NC)-A French priest expert in catechetics asserted here that social and bemust be havioral sciences stressed in seminary training and post-ordination studies for today's priests, if the Church is to provide meaningful responses to the complex human problems facing modern man. Father Jacques Audinet, newly appointed diredtor of the Institute for Advanced Catechetical Studies in Paris, was a guest lecturer at the Summer Pastoral Institute, co-sponsored by the San Antonio archdiocesan Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and Incarnate Word College here. A priest, Father Audinet said, "must be a man of today, concerned with modern social problems to the teachings of the Gospel. We must communicate with people by helping them find meaning ann orientation in their lives." "We must help man live and survive in the midst of what .many feel is the greatest cultural crisis Of all times," he- added. Patterns Questioned Outlining the scope of this crisis, Father Audinet explained that "societies have always been shaped by traditional culture and religious patterns. But now, these patterns which have prevailed for centuries seem obsolete and are befng criticized and

She must grapple with the' great questions facing mankind and must say and do something about concerns such as peace, racial equality, development of nations, the identity of the individual and human security." "There must be an analysis of the Christian experience to find out what Christian people believe, say and think, and what meaning the Gospel can have for them," Father Audinet asserted. "We must understand the conflicts between the Christian message and the human experience, the individual and society, and

Abbot Steps Down To Serve as Monk TRIER (NC) - Abbot Laurentius Klein of the Benedictine monastery of St. Matthias here in Germany has announced that his superiors in Rome have accepted his resignation as head of the monastery. Abbot Klein said he will remain at the monastery as a monk. He said he made his decisi~n to step down after consultations with other members of the community, and added he believed, he could serve the monastery better as a monk. Abbot Klein gave no further explanation of his decision to resign, but he has been known as a supporter of the idea of limiting the terms of Church officials in general. At the international congress of abbots in Rome' in 1966 he made 'a proposal to limit abbots' terms of office. Father Klein was also concerned with revising his order's structure and urged that nonordained members of a community be given the same rights as priests.

the group experience and the personal experience." Theological orientation and an emphasis on the sacred sciences in the training of priests is "good and necessary," he indicated, but stressed the importance of comprehensive post-ordination training in the ":;ciences of the human experience." The priests need for such scientific training in human problems is fundamental, he said. Father Audient noted that the "major challenge" today is to discover what the Church can bring to .human life. "From the human situation as the priest finds it, he must learn° new ways in which the Gospel can have meaning and give direction to the lives of people," he said. He emphasized that this kind of modern ministry can be fulfilled only if priests receive training in the social .sciences, though he ,made it clear that "the priest's witness must be more than a kind of super sociology."

Father Leahy said in view of the archbishop's statements concerning the meeting, the paper decided to decline the advertising. He added that accepting advertising in the circumstances might give the impression that the 'paper endorsed the meeting.

School Aid-Now \

No one can legitimately accuse the Catholic school system of raising the false alarm of "Wolf" s~' often in the past that now its ~alls for help are to be Ignored as having no substance. Superintendents of parochial and diocesan school systems have. been pointing out-and especially in these 'last three years-that unless some financial support was forthcoming 'from somewhere there would be closings and c~n solidations and, eliminations of not only grades but entire schools. The reaction to these facts here in Mas'sachusetts even within the past· several months has been the promise of ~ study that will take two years to complete. There is no longer time for that. By the time such a study is made individual Massa~ chusettscommunities are going to find themselves confronted with the prospects of the shift of hundreds and even thousands of youngsters from private school systems into ,public school' systems. There will result the inevitable expansion of public school budgets and, therefore, a further rise in a dramatic and frightening way of tax rates. It is no longer valid for public officials to ask the Catholic school system for a year's notice before· switching students.

The notice has been given. The next notice will be when youngsters start arriving at the doors of public schools with transfers in their hands.

Officia,ls of Rochester College To Appeal State Aid Decision ROCHESTER (NC)-The president of St. John Fisher College here has announced that college officials will meet with members of the New York State Department of Education to appeal a "tentative" decision on the school's ineligibility for funds under a new aid program to private colleges in the state. Father Charles J. Lavery, C.S.B., issued a statement in reply to a letter from Dr. Ewald B. Nyquist, acting state commissioner of education. Nyquist said he had reached the "tentative conclusion"~ that the college "is ineligible for state aid under the provisions of the New York State Constitution, which forbids the payment of state aid to any institution of learning which is wholly or in part under the control or direction of any religious denomination, or in which any denominational tenet or doctrine is taught." , Decision Pending St. John Fisher is among 33 church-related schools which had applied for funds under a 'program of unrestricted grants by the state education department to 52 private, non-sectarian colleges and universities. The department said a 'final decision on their eligibility was still pending. Some 15 of the, 33 churchrelated schools have requested a meeting with the state education department to appeal the tentative decision, Father Lavery said. A date for the meeting has not yet been scheduled. Under the grant program, the private, non-sectarian schools will ,share in more than $24 million in funds in the 1969-70 academfic year. The money can be used however the schools like. The size of the grant to each school will be based on the number of degrees it awarded in the 1968-69 academic year. Schools will get $400 for each bachelor's and master's degree 'awarded and $2,400 for each doctoral degree. Under this arrangement, the, largest grants go to the largest schools. St. John Fisher would thus be eligible for $100,000 for its some 250 graduates, Father Lavery said. Maintain Balance The program wl\s enacted la'st year by the state legislature and funded this year. In May, the legislature passed a bill providing for inclusion of churchrelated colleges and universities in the program, but it was vetoed by Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York. Rockefeller said he favors aid to church-related colleges, but does not believe it is permitted under the state constitution. He said he agrees with a committee report recommending amendment of the constitution. The new aid program is expected to help alleviate the problems of financially hard pressed private colleges and universities in the state. In recent years, ob-

Catholics, Anglicans Plan Consultation BOYNTON BEACH (NC)-The Anglican-Roman Catholic Consultation, U.S.A., has been scheduled for December at the World Center for Liturgical Studies, an interdenominational operation, here in Florida. - The'Rev. Canon Don H. Copeland, Episcopal priest who is center president, said Bishop Charles H. Helmsing of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo., is chairmtln of the Catholic delegation, and Bishop Donald Hathaway Hallock of Milwaukee will head the Anglican delegates.

servers have warned that the financial position of private institutions of higher education is deteriorating in relation to publicly supported schools. Nyquist said the grant program would "help maintain an approptiate balance between public and private institutions, and sustain private initiative in providing educat.ional opportunity." Independent College In his statement, Father Lavery pointed out that St. John Fisher College, "chartered by the Board of Regents and accredited by the Middle States Association, is not under the control, wholly or in part, of any religious denomination. "It is a private, independent liberal arts college. All college facilties are owned by the corporation known as St. John Fisher College, which is directed and controlled by the board of trustees," he said. The college board of trustees, Father Lavery stated, is a group of 25 men, members of the community, and representing the Jewish, Protestant and Catholic faiths. Father Lavery, a member of the Basilian Fathers, is a member of the board by virtue of his of~ fice as president, and is appointed by the trustees. Nothing in the by-laws prevents the appointment of a layman or a person who professes any particular faith. Religious Studies With respect to the teaching of a denominational tenet or doctrine, Father Lavery referred to the information supplied by the college to the state education department. Philosophy and religious studies are elective subjects in the curriculum, he' said. Courses in religious studies, fully recognized by the state education department, and recommended by the American Council on Education for all institutions, public and private, are' offered as academic subjects like any other sJ.lbject, the president stated. "For these reasons," Father Lavery said, "we are happy to have the opportunity to meet with the department of education in Albany, N. Y., to discuss the actual legal and educational status of St. Johln Fisher College. "It has been a matter of pride for me," the statement continued, "that all higher- education, public and private, in our state, is under the direction of the board of regents. There is no distinction in their respect to denominations, and so it is my confident hope that the recommendations of the Bundy Committee for direct aid to private institutions will be granted to those which are qualified."

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Catholic Music Educators Association has become an affiliate of the National Catholic Education Association, officials of the two organizations announced. The affiliation, approved路 by the boards of directors of the two organizattons, which are headquartered here, is effective immediately. Onder the affiliation arrangement, NCMEA remains an autonomous and independent organization. The National Catholic Music Educators Association was founded in 1942. It conducts activities and research in the areas of elementary music education, secondary music education, college music, vocal music, instrumental , music, liturgical music, piano and student activities. The National Catholic Educational Association, founded in 1904, is the country's oldest and largest professional organization for Catholic educators. Its activities include an annual convention and exposition, workshops and seminars, and an ongoing search program. NCEA also issues a wide range of periodical and special publications.

"We are fooling ourselves when we think that we are coming up with programs to help the child get off the street," he said. "The child we're working with lives most of his life on the street." The scene is the playground, the scene of freedom and excitement for poor youngsters and they don't really want to be taken from it and placed in classrooms for a standard Summer Bible school, he declared. So, Father Harfmann and Deborah Holley, a parishioner who goes to Coppin State College, developed a religious education program that utilizes the streets.

NEWARK (NC)-A Jesuit educator has accepted the post of dean of students at the Newark campus of Rutgers University, becoming one of a handful of Catholic clergymen to hold high positions, in public universities.

In announcing the appointment, Rutgers president Dr. Mason W. Gross, said: "The fact of his clerical backround is incidental to his professional responsibilities, We anticipate that on the basis of his past professional experience and deep interest in community affairs, he will make a significant contribution to the leadership of the college at Newark."

Mixed M;arriage

Reform Urged

Now's Time to Ready Lawn For" Next Year's B,eauty

LONDON (NC)-Reform of the present rules on mixed marriage dispensations was urged by a large majority at an ecumenical conference sponsored by the Ecumenical Commission of the English and Welsh bishops. Some 90 people engaged in Christian unity work discussed the subject at Heythrop College, Jesuit study center near Oxford, and the general feeling was that they would like the bishops to consider whether the Church's teaching on marriage-that children of mixed marriages be brought up as Catholics-would not be better carried through by the consciences- of the partners rather than by actual legislation. The obligation of the Catholic partner would remain, but the conscience of the other partner should not be forgotten. The conference hoped that talks between Catholic and Anglican bishops and between Catholic bishops and leaders of other denominations would proceed urgently on the implications of mixed marriages. The conference vias a private consultation m~inly for Catholics engaged in unity work, although some eminent non-Catholics attended including Bishop Graham Sansbury of the British Council of Churches who gave one address.

study by Indiana University, says parochial schools could be divided into public and private sectors. Lay teachers would teach secular subjects under public supervision and the school would receive state aid Aor that segment of its program. The private segment would be taught, financed, and supervised by the Church. Dr. Henry M. Brickell, who presented the massive report to the Rhode Island legislative Commission on Education, said the plan would bolster sagging finances in parochial schools hopefully without running afoul of Church-State-separation laws. Father Mullen said' the plan "may be the answer, substantially," to the financial crisis. "It will at least trigger a debate in the community," he said. "This will be a good thing."

NEW YORK (NC) - The diaries, notebooks,_ and personal papers of the late Augustin Cardinal Bea will be published by Geoffrey Chapman, London and New York, who has contracted for world language rights, according to an announcement made here by Crowell Collier and Macmillan, Inc.

Hard to' Get Unusual Bridal Gowns in Area Stores

Vote $45 Million For School Aid

By Marilyn Roderick Just the other day a young friend (whom I've known since she was knee high to a grasshopper) asked me to look at a few wedding gowns that she had been trying on for her November wedding and help her decide which looked best. I was quite pleased to go along, not only ing this young gal tryon the than she did dressing and because of my long friend- gowns undressing in the humid July ship with the lovely young weather, but along with the enmiss, but also because it would give me a peek at the Fall and Winter bridal attire. W hat better in could you have than accompanying a young bride-tobe? The individualistic approach that the young have today even carries over into their choice of a wedding gown. They want something new, something "up-to-theminute," something "with it':' Oddly enough, the bndal salons that we visited did not seem to carry much that was the latest, rather they were carrying the' safe, traditional type of gown. Fashion reports that I have read on the bridal industry assure buyers that manufacturers are doing the "in" thing, but for some strange reason such fashions do not seem to be showing up in area s'tores or for that matter in our neighboring big cities. This bride-to-be wanted a bridal gown that was just a little bit different and I could see from what the salesgirls showed us that she wasn't going to have a very easy task ahead of her. Absolutely Awful One difficulty in choosing a wedding gown comes from the fact that they look absolutely awful on the hanger and that one must have the imagination of an artist to imagine what they are going to look like on the bride. This means that each and every outfit the bride-to-be thinks just might suit her must be tried on, and then the transformation takes place. I found it utterly amazing that a gown that looks like a jumble of net and lace on the hanger (in fact, in some cases they look like leftover curtains from the Breakers) becomes a radiant creation on the wearer and the charming young lady with whom you entered the dressing room suddenly becomes a breathtaking beauty as the satin and lace fall into place. I'm sure I had more fun watch-

joyment I also managed to scan the racks to see what they are showing in this area. A great deal of English net with lace appliqueis being shown in the high-priced gowns. These are made in the traditional style with high necklines, long, either tapered or flowing sleeves, and in most cases a long back train. I did notice that more and more gowns were coming in without trains and with more back detail than usual. Medieval Gowns The designs that I really felt were quite elegant and unusual were the few (and very few) that had been influenced by the medieval period in history. These were made of rich materials with colored ornamentation instead of the usual seed pearls and sequins. Among striking features of these gowns from the round table era were their head pieces. Snoods, bands (embroidered with flowers), caps that tie under the chin and pearl bands that leave the hair swinging free are just a few of the unusual hair treatments that will be seen on the bride of the 70's. Even though my friend didn't come away from this snopping trip with her gown picked out and her concern over finding the right gown ended, I must mention another member of our expedition who also had a marvelous time. My ten year old, Meryl, thought she was in wonderland as she watched Joan tryon gown after gown.Jt just goes to prove that even in this age of travel to the moon and the generation gap, little girls still look upon being a bride as one of the most wonderful things in life.

Urges Family Planning For Latin America WASHINGTON (NC)-An Organization of American States official said Latin American nations should consider "some programs" of family planning to hold down birth rates. Galo Plaza, OSA secretary general, interviewed on a nationwide television program, said the preponderance of Catholics in Latin American nations was a deterrent to some family planning programs involving artificial contraception .which 'is opposed by the Church. Plaza said he believes there is a "problem of overpopulation" inLatin America but added "it is not an explosion everywhere." Asked if he believes some changes will be made, he replied: "I think that realities will force a change."

American College Girl Protests at Vatican VATICAN CITY (NC)-A 23year-old New York college girl was escorted from St. Peter's Square Sunday morning when, attended by the press and a cameraman, she tried to sing a protest song against Pope Paul's. birth control encyclical, Humanae Vitae. The girl, Suzanne Harris, was informed by Italian police, who are in charge of keeping order in the square, that she could not conduct her protest sing-in on Vatican property. She was escorted to the boundary line between Vatican City and Italy. Once on Italian soil she sang her protest song, accompanying herself on the guitar. Miss Harris told newsmen she had sung her song about birth control at a priests' sit-in in Washington, D. C., last year. She said she was encouraged to sing at the Vatican by Father John E. Corrigan, one of the priests involved in the birth control controversy with Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle of Washington. Since the Pope was not at the Vatican, but at his Summer home at Castelgandolfo outside of Rome, he did not hear the song. Miss Harris said she was aware of the Pope's absence but added: "It's symbolic that I'm here. He will know it."

Interfait,h Survey Hope to Discover 'How Churches Can Be Where P,eople Are' CINCINNATI (NC)- Religion for the "shopping center age" will be the subject of an interfaith survey, to be conducted this month in sections of Hamilton and Clermont Counties in the Cincinnati archdiocese. The survey, sponsored by the Shopping Center Ministry task force of the Southeastern (Ohio) Ecumenical Ministry (SEM), will be directed by the Rev. Robert J. Clark of the United Presbyterian church, who holds a degree in social relations from Harvard University and an<.>ther from Princeton, N.J., Theological Seminary. Purpose of the survey will be to "find the type of church ministry that is appropriate to work in the new type of community concentrated around a shopping center mall," Rev. Clark said.

Says Private Citizens \May Lead Prayers

"We are trying to find religious activities and services that are not in competition with the sorts of ministry that are already being carried out by the traditional parish congregations. "We are trying to find out which kinds of ministry are sufficiently important and so much needed that they will be selfsupporting," the minister continued, "so that the established congregations will not be burdened with their support." Assisted by a corps of trained volunteers who will distribute questionnaires to a representative sampling of area residents, Rev. Clark said he will be trying to discover "how the churches can be where the people are and where the action is" in the area of shopping centers. To launch the study, contributions totaling $5,000 have been made by the Cincinnati archdiocese, the Presbytery of Cincinnati, the Episcopal diocese of Southern Ohio, the Ohio Conference of the United Church of Christ, the Ohio Synod of the Lutheran Church in America, and the Wilmington, Ohio, district of the United Methodist Church.

COLUMBUS (NC) - The Ohio legislature completed favorable action on legislation providing $45.7 million in tax funds to aid the state's 400,000 nonpublic school students. The measure now goes to Gov. James A. Rhodes for approval. His administration sponsored the legislation. The Senate by a 32-1 vote approved the measure which provides the aid in addition to the $2 million already available for non public school students during the last two years for auxiliary services. The House earlier had passed the bill by a 75-19 vote. The legislation becomes effective with the governor's signature. Ohio now becomes the first state in the nation to authorize direct payment of state money to pay lay teachers for" their time spent in teaching secular subjects. The Catholic Conference of Ohio, under the leadership of retiring Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati as chairman, waged a comprehensive campaign throughout the state to gain voter support for the legislation. In a statement, Theodore N. Staudt, executive director of the Catholic Conference of Ohio, said the bill was won without religious controversy in eitl}er, the press or in the many hearings held.

Priests Endorse Black Manifesto

THE ANCHOR-. Thurs., Aug. 7, .1969

College Draws Up

CINCINNATI (NC)-The Association of Cincinnati Priests has endorsed the Black Manifesto and asked that the Cincinnati archdiocese give black people $3 million for cultural and economic development. The association claims a memo bership of 103 of the 800 archdiocesan priests. Archbishop Karl J. Alter, who is retiring as Ordinary of the Cincinnati archdiocese, has called the Black Minfesto, a nationwide demand by the Black Economic Development Conference (BEDC), for $3 billion from the nation's churches, a "disaster." The' chancery office had no comment on the stand taken by the priests' association. . The resolution passed by the ACP included three points: endorsement of the $3 billion demand by the BEDC; a stipulation that the funds should be controlled by black people, and a recommendlation that the Cincinnati archdiocese give $3 million to black people in the 19 county archdiocese. . Spokesmen for the organization explained that $3 million is an arbitrary figure based on the Catholic population of the archdiocese, which is 500,000. Some 40 to 50 members of the ACP were present at the meeting, when the resolution was approved.

They should always be free to support causes by orderly means' which do not disrupt the regular and essential operation of the college."

Father Colonnese, director of the Latin America Division of the United States Catholic Conference, is also director of CICOP.

Bishops whom I requested to study and evaluate CICOP. The CICOP planning committee meets in Washington, D. C., to determine the theme and content of the 1970 CICOP conference. The majority of the planning committee members are Latin Americans and the U.

Youngest Superior Heads Dominicans CALDWELL (NC) - Sister M. Vivian Jennings was installed as superior of the Domin'ican Sisters of Caldwell here in New Jersey after the congregation had received special permission for her election from the Congregation for Religious in Rome. At 35, Sister Vivian is believed to be one of the youngest superiors in the United States. She had been chosen by the community's general chapter early in July but the installation was held up because she was five years under the required canonical age. Archbishop Thomas A. Boland of Newark presided at the installation ceremonies. The chapter, which suspended business until the election could be confirmed, has now 'been reconvened tp elect councilors and .other offIcials. Sister Vivian will serve for six years, governing 575 Religious serving in six dioceses and in a mission in the Bahamas.

Committee on Consumer Af· fairs and a former chairman of the Massachusetts Consumers Council. File Complaints The center was launched here at a time of increasing interest in "consumerism," a national phenomenon with varying degrees of economic, political and .sociological implicatiQns. It has been described as a growing awareness of consumers that all the· goods and services offered are not as acceptable as the purveyors have represented them. The opening of the center follows' closely upon the enactment of the truth-in-lending law, ef· fective July'l, which is intended to provide borrowers with a full disclosure of loan costs. Willier said the center here will put its research facilities at the use of the Legal- Services Programs and also will move independently to bring about consumer law reform on a nation· wide scale for the benefit of lowincome consumers. The newly enacted truth-in· lending law's enforcement will be a major concern 'of the center, Willier said. The center is prepared to file complaints of violations with appropriate agencies and is ready to initiate litigation against "selected violators," he said.

BUENOS AIRES (NC)-CoadJutor Arcnbishop Juan Carlos Aramburu of Buenos Aires has sharply criticized the "progressive" Third World movement for its appeals to violence and its support for socialism. In the conclusions cif the movement's last congress, held in Cordoba, participants said: "We do not: see any real and reasonable alternative to an appeal to armed force by the people seeking their liberation and the establishment of socialism." Archbishop Aramburu has said that "it would be materialistic and anti-clerical to subordinate the Church to the revolutionary . process." Now, some members of the Third World movement have denied that this revolutionary document ever existed. Spokesmen for the movement, insisting on disowning the conclusions, said they are "a summary of opinions expressed in a working group of priests and lay persons, including workers and students." , 'Examples of Tyranny' "The document," they said, "does not reflect our thought, because all our actions are being carried on in coordination with our bishops, who encouraged us at Medellin (Colombia, where the Latin American bishops met last year) and at San Miguel (referring. to the last assembly of the Argentine bishops)." Yet members of the Third World movement continue to attack the government and to call for the release of political prisoners, arrested in several parts of the country after recent violent inc'idents. "These episodes," they have said in reference to the arrests, "are examples of the tyranny of the extremists." Some of the Third World priests are claiming that the revolutionary document was planted by the Argentine Intelligence service (SIDE).

Diatri·be Against Jesuits No IOld Franciscan Joke' By l\1lsgr. George G. Higgins

Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C. \ . The June issue of Triumph magazine featured an article by Farley Clinton entitled "Diabolus Est Jesuita ... Ita! Ita!" ("The Devil is a Jesuit ... Yes! Yes!").It was a diatribe against the Society of Jesus, lock, stock and barrel. In the June 9 release Be that as it may, I am simply of this column, I characteramazed at Mr. Bozell's diversionized it as the worst and most ary tactics.

One of the students goe~, to a job' in a factory, two to maintenance jobs in local homes cQnducted by the little Sisters of. the Poor, and others to serve as counselors in area day camps. The two deacons go to nearby parishes-Devlin to St. Stephen's parish; Haggerty to Our Lady of Mercy parish. The Summer wages earned by the seminarians pay not only for the expenses of their academic year but also for all of the costs of their "Summer community." The expenses include a· share in the $200-a-month rent and in the weekly grocery bill. Cooking and cleaning chores are divided among the 10-member community. While the seminarians do not overlook the apostolic opportunities in their daily jobs, their principal "missionary" focus is on their evening "free time", when they volunteer their services to parishes. Their evening activities include direction of Summer basketball leagues for neighborhood youths, parish visitations, religious instruction and . organization of youth retreats. While all 10 students admit that they have learned a lot from their Summer experience, all of '. them are quick to admit that the project has not lived up to the initial'vision described by deacon Paul Haggerty as "an endeavor to generate a creative and vigorous response to the pastoral need~ of the inner city in the context of a priestly formativ~ and educational experience." First of all, the seminarians admit that they're tired when they get home from work and that they're completely exhausted when th.ey finish their evening of volunteer work. Second, their working day ieaves them too little free time to become involved in their immediate neighborhood. Also, their' commitments to four area parishes more often than not take them out of the neighbor-' hood they seek to influence. "The only time we see many of the neighbors," Aschbach said with a laugh, "is when we go to the Laundromat on Saturday." The Saturday cleaning chores are another factor the seminari-

. ans see as interfering with further' opportunity for apostolic work. "We ha~ hoped to use our weekends for work in the neighborhood," seminarian Thomas Duane explained, "but we find that it takes all day Saturday to do the cleaning." The seminarians have learned a lot, however. First, they see more clearly than ever the need for "fulltime" priests. Joseph Logrip, a student entering his second year of theological study, said, "Outside jobs really interfere with the purpose of a house like this." Second, the need for retaining Clerical clothing has' been grasped more firmly. "The Roman collar is absolutely necessary here," Michael Ryan, a classmate of Logrip, explained, "Without the collar, you lose a valuable influence and you lose your identity with the Church." Third, the seminarians have learned a lot about themselves. Henry McKee, who entered St. Charles Borromeo Seminary after gra~uating from St. Joseph's College, :;aid, "You learn a lot about yourself, about others and and about what 'community' really means." Deacons Jim Devlin and Paul Haggerty say they've gained a dee'per appreciation for the situation, "as it really is" and for "what can and cannot be done." Would the seminarians want to return next year? Seminarian Joseph Shields says' he would not-"I'd like to apply what I've learned here in my own neighborhood," McKee also admits that he's learned a lot, but he says, "The black problem isn't the whole world. Suburbia has its problems too-especially with the disillusionment of many in the younger generation with the Church. I see a real need to work in that area."

St. Louis to Reassure Parents on Teaching

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Aug. 7,1969

ST. LOUIS (NC)-The Archbishop Priests' Council here has asked John Cardinal Carberry to establish a new Commission on Religious Education to promote sound doctrinal instruction and to calm parents fearing heresy. The request came after a be given responsibility for all special study cO,mmittee of religious education in all archthe Priests' Council observed diocesan and pri1te schools that "there are parents upset here.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The mission of foreign governments in this capital are asking for more police protection, and the Nixon Administration is moving to meet the request. Actually, the foreign embassies have complained for some time against harassment, vandalism and crime affecting their buildings and personnel. And, for. some time, the Metropolitan Police Department nas stationed city policemen at embassies as disturbances arose around them. Now the administration feels "it would be more appropriate for the Federal government to have direct responsibility for the protection of the embassies," and it envisions the White House police force as taking on this additional responsibility. This was revealed when appropriate officials appeared before a committee of the House of Representatives, and asked that the current limit of 350 members for the White House police be removed. The White House police come under the U. S. Secret Service, which has the responsibility of protecting the President of the United States and his family. The Secret Service, in turn comes under the Treasury Department, as it was originally organized to track down counterfeiters. So, Eugene T. Rossides, assistant secretary of the Treasury, and James J. Rowley, director of the Secret Service, were the officials who appeared before the Congressional group. Face Added Problems They did not at first ask for a specific number of new policemen, simply the removal of the present limit. It was felt that, since Congress would have to appropriate the money to pay them, the lawmakers would

by the fact that religion is not being taught in exactly the same way that it was in their day." The issue is "most important and most sensitive," the council declared. "Most important because, if heresy is being taught in our schools, then this should be exactly determined and corrected. Most sensitive, because if a report or rumor is publicized without pinpointing and documentation, then a cloud of suspicion is cast on the hundreds of our hardworking, dedicated and competent religion teachers." Make-Up The "watchdog" commission on religious education should be composed of pastors, teachers, parents and administrators, the Priests' Council said, and should

In a separate action, the Priests' Council recommended that family life and sex education be a part of the regular curriculum in those schools where the program of instruction has first been reviewed by the parents and then accepted by a majority vote. The priests also requested that a sex education curriculum be "heavily embodied with Catholic Christian morals and ethics" and that periodic reports on "the merits or inadequacies" of the sex education efforts be made to the people of the archdiocese. It was announced earlier that, beginning in the Fall of 1970, pilot programs of sex edlucation would be initiated in two grade schools, with possible extension to other schools in the archdiocese in the following years.

CARDINAL CARBERRY

Digest Founder -'Sues Colleg·e ST. PAUL (NC) - Father Paul Bussard, a founder of The Catholic Digest, a monthly magazine, has filed a suit against St. Thomas College reportedly for $350,000, or 35 per cent of the estimated $1 million value of the periodical. Father Bussard, 65, W!lS retired by the college July 1 as publisher of the magazine and editor of the Catholic Digest Book Club. He helped found the magazine in 1936. The priest gained a restraining order against St. Thomas College July 3. The order was lifted the following week, however, leaving the way clear for the college to relieve Father Bussard of his duties. The college took control of The Catholic Digest and its ancillary operations in May, 1964, in an agreement with Father Bussard and a third party. Father Bussard claims that a part of the original agreement for transfer of the magazine and its ancillaries to the college was that he would continue as publisher.

Archbishop Closes Drug Addict Clinic MIAMI (NC)-A clinic to help cure drug addiction, sponsored since last December by the Miami Catholic Welfare Bureau, has been closed by the archbishop of Miami because the cost of operating under federal guidelines would be prohibitive. Following a meeting with federal narcotics officers and referring to federal guidelines whicn call for well-staffed inpatient facilities, Archbishop Coleman . F. Carroll of Miami announced "it was readily apparent that the archdiocese alone could no longer afford to continue" the clinic. "The large capital expenditures in hospitals, in-patient facilities, and in training medical personnel and laboratory technicians makes continuance of the drug clinic impractical," the prelate said. He added, "This is not an easy de· cision to make in view of the fact that' there are so many unfo.rtunate people in need of help."

Dual- Enrollment EVANSTON (NC) - Approval for a dual enrollment policy that would .allow Catholic school students to attend public school classes was given by the Evanston District 65 elementary school board during a turbulent and often chaotic meeting. The vote was 5-2.

Begin Accelerated Education Program ST. LOUIS (NC)-For 55 St. Louis area students, high school will open early in Septembera full year early. The 55 are seventh graders who are skipping eighth grade almost en· tirely and becoming high school freshmen under a new program of accelerated schooling. The program is the "1-8- 1-8 Plan," devised jointly by St. Louis University here and the St. Louis archdiocesan school office. It was announced late last year as a way to help the capable college-bound youngsters avoid the unnecessary duplication that exists in the present 16-year stretch from grade one to college degree. The program is so titled because a student will skip one year in the first eight (eighth grade) and one year in the second eight (first year college).

eventually determine the number. H6wever, under questioning by the committee members, Rossides said they would accept 850 as a satisfactory number. In the beginning, it was indicated, onry 400 new men would be detailed to protect the embassies. There are 115 foreign missions in this city, according to the latest diplomatic list, and they have a corresponding number of embassies, of course, and in many cases, separate chanceries. Demonstrations and disturbances can occur either at embassies or chanceries. Former Met.ropolitan Police Chief John B. Layton, Who recently resigned to accept the post of assistant to the State Department Chief of Protocol, would advise the White House police in their new assignment and act as liaison with the embassies, it was said. In stating that the administra· tion feels it more appropriate for the federal government to provide for the embassies, an official observed that Metropolitan police "are facing added prob· lems of their own."

Opposes Proposal To Divide Diocese SYRACUSE (NC) Bishop Walt.er A. Foery of Syracuse has voiced his opposition to a pro'posal that would divide his diocese into three Sees with Binghamton and Utica serving as See cities. The proposal had been presented by the Committee on Episcopal Succession, a group of priests and laymen centered in Albany, N.Y. A chancery spokesman pointed out that a final decision on the plan would have to be made by the bishops in Vatican City who decide such matters. But he was certain that Bishop Foery's personal opposition to the plan would be very influential should the proposal be considered in Vatiean City. The spokesman said he did not know if the plan would be submitted to the Vati: can.

"Certainly," he continued, "the moon l~nding can. awaken some wonder at creation and its com'plexities and contemplation of the universe is an old theme of spiritual life." Therefore, he said, on purely scientific grounds "we should go as far as possible towards the exploration of the universe, and in principle there's no limit tu it." However, he expressed the hope that such ventures in the future would be accomplished jointly among: all interested countries. Father Tavard said he "would like to be on one of the next explorations," but not as a theologian, just as a man. "This doesn't require great courage," he said, "but confidence that the machine will work."

End Experiments With .Lit",rgy LINZ (NC) - The period of post-conciliar liturgical experimentation is at an end, a high Vatican official said in an interview published by the weekly newspaper of the Linz diocese here in Austria. , Benno Cardinal Gut, O.S.B., prefect of the Congregation for Worship, said that rulings already issued or to be issued soon will remove uncertainty on liturgi~al matters am9ng priests and laymen. The cardinal said that stronger measures will be taken in the future against unauthorized experimentation in' the liturgical field. He added that such measures will be possible because what will be valid will ·be clear to all. The cardinal urged the revival of Latin in the Mass and he indicated that the celebration of Latin Masses every Sunday in certain churches of cities will be proposed. The new task in liturgical reform, the cardinal said, will be a revision in the ordering and organization of the breviary. This, he said, will be undertaken this year.

Two Seminaries Change Format MILWAUKEE (NC) - An experimental change in the format' of the Milwaukee archdiocese's two seminaries has been announced by Msgr. William Schuit, rector of St. Francis Seminary. 'The changes, effective in September, will make De Sales Preparatory Seminary, a four-year high school; create a four-year college program that will offer a B.A. in theology, and make St. Francis Seminary a four-year graduate program offering for the first time a master's degree in theology, which will be an accredited professional and not a research degree. ' The major seminary will be considered a school of pastoral ministry. Both St. Francis and De Sales Seminaries have traditionally had six-year programs. The college program consisted of a senior college at St. Francis and a junior college at De Sales. The two of them will be combined "on paper for now," Msgr. Schuit explained. Plans for housing all college students together in future years are being made.

DUBLIN (NC)-All records for attendance at the annual novena in honor of Our Lady of Carmel here were broken. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of Rochester, New York, was the novena preacher and the Carmelite church in this city where the novena is held, with a seating capacity of 2,500, was thronged three times a day for the novena services. Bishop Sheen was scheduled to preach the sermons twice a day, but so many of the faithful were turned away at the noon and evening services the bishop added third sermon at the 6 A.M. Mass. Several of the bishops' sermons resulted in the unusual reaction of applause by the congregations. In the course of his sermons Bishop Sheen stressed the need for loyalty to Pope Paul VI and lauded the people of Ireland for their faith and loyalty, declaring it was comparable only to the faith of those behind the Iron Curtain. On the day of the U.S. astronauts' walk on the moon, Bishop Sheen recited a prayer which he composed for the occasion in whkh he said: "May our achievements not make us turn this flight to the moon into another Tower of Bable. But rather may we be thankful to God for opening up the universe to us in our times. "Though the moon is only a burnt out cinder, floating in the immensity of space, it is something that reflects the light of the Sun. Grant that we may see that the scientific and technological light which we have is a reflection of God, the Light of the World."

The measure, which now goes to the Senate, would prohibit picketing within 500 feet of a church two hours before, during and two hours after a service or ceremony. The bill provides a penalty upon conviction of a maximum $300 fine, a 60-day jail sentence, or both. . The House District of Columbia Committee report on the picketing bill noted that the current law in the nation's capital prohibits disorderly conduct in or near public buildings, including churches, but does not mention picketing.

Retiring Archbishop Alter Asserts Church Oriented Toward Future CINCINNATI (NC)-Archbishop Karl J. Alter, 60 years a priest and 38 years a bishop, sounded a note of optimism as his career as archbishop of Cincinnati drew to a close. At a televised press conference in the Synod Hall of St. Peter in Chains cathedral he turned aside a question about "rebellion" in the Church by saying: "The Church is oriented toward the future; we're not wedded to the past dr to a position of immobility. We're moving, making progress, though usually it means taking a step backward after two steps forward." The 83-year-old archbishop told a crowd of newspaper, radio and television reporters "it is true that we must keep our continuity with the past, or else we will lose our identity." He suggested that in the present time there is "a break in the continuity, and hence more disturbance than progress, at times." Religious Life High "But we have made progress in many areas," he insisted, citing the establishment in the Cincinnati archdiocese of the Priests' Senate, the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council, parish councils, and the board of education, and the ongoing liturgical renewal. "Some think we are not moving fast enough," he acknowledged, smiling, "and some think we're moving too fast." Archbishop Alter, reviewing his 19 years of relationships with clergy, Religious and laity in the archdiocese, declared: "The religious life of the people 'of this diocese is of a very high order; and while I don't want to make invidious comparisons, J would say it is superior to that of many dioceses in the country. "The lay people and the priests and Relgious have a very high appreciation of spiritual values and they have been very cooperative with their archbishop." School Situation While a bill to provide limited aid to pupils in non public schools was being debated in the Ohio General Assembly at Columbus, Archbishop Alter told the press "our conference here that schools are facing the most difficult situation they have en-

countered since their establishment." He called for "sympathetic understanding on the part of the general public" of the serious nature of the Catholic schools' financial crisis, .and a 'realization of the sharply .increased cost all taxpaye~s will face if the parochial school system has to be dismantled. In an autographed letter to Archbishop Alter -thanking him for his service to the Church, Pope Paul VI referred specifically to his many years of membership on the administrative board of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, of which he also was chairman for a number of years, and to his restoration of St. Peter in Chains cathedral, a neo-c1assical structure built in 1845. When Archbishop Alter was named archbishop of Cincinnati, he was installed in St. Monica cathedral, which had taken the place of St. Peter in Chains' as the cathedral church of the archdiocese.

Anti-Pes,ticide .Crusader Cites' Chavez WASHINGTON (NC)-Jerome B. Gordon, who testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Migratory Labor to explain the dangers of nerve gas-derived pesticides, has long been concerned about the health and welfare of migrant workers who are constantly exposed to these deadly chemicals. In an article in Mayday, Gordon and consumer crusader Ralph Nader noted that "it is difficult to work through bureaucracies for compliance of existing safety standards - and next to

impossible to campaign politically for additional safeguards. "A case ill point is the recent experience Of Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers. Over the past 18 monhts in California there have been six deaths among farm workers due to accidental ingestion of pesticides mistaken for water or wine," the article asserts. "Some of the pesticides were improperly stored in empty plastic bleach containers. The bottles were either mislabeled - or the workers, many of whom cannot

readily read or write English, misunderstood the labels. "This is in spite of the fact that California State Safety Orders explicitly require farm operators to properly inform farm workers of hazards, even for workers who do not understand English." Gordon appeared before the Senate subcommittee to outline possible remedies to the problem of pesticide poisonings and fatalities which he says strike migrant farm workers more than any other group.

Report Decline ~n Circulation NEW YORK (NC)-Total circulation of Catholic newspapers and magazines in the United States and Canada, and the number of publications as well, declined by about seven per cent during the year 1968, the Catholic Press Association reported as it released the 1969-70 edition of its Catholic Press Directory, the annual reference guide to the American Catholic press. Circulation of all newspapers and magazines listed in this year's directory totaled 26,661,706, compared with 28,772,098 the year before-a drop of 7.3 per cent - it was reported by James A. Doyle, CPA executive director. The total number of publications declined from 499 to 466, Doyle also said. Figures for various categories of publications show that circulation of 141 newspapers in the U. S. hit a total of 6,312,226, a drop of slightly over seven per cent. Total circulation of all types of magazines in North America fell 7.5 per cent to 20,168,206. The number and circulation of professional and business magazines in the Catholic field gained, however, the directory showsreaching a total of 50 publications, including a number of new ones, and a circulation total of 589,281, which is an increase of 17 per cent. In two categories - diocesan newspapers separately, and magazines which do not accept advertising - circulation declines were only slightly over four per cent, Doyle said.

Revise Sex'路 Edlucation Program To Provide Help for Parents WEST MILFORD (NC) - The West Milford board of education here in New Jersey moved to end a two-year-old controversy over sex education by revising the target of the program, gearing courses in sexuality for the parents of students rather than the students themselves. Starting in the Fall, a course designed to help parents provide sex education in the home will be offered as part of the adult school program. The debate over sex education In the local public school system had divided the community into two camps but now the board

is hopeful that a spirit of harmony can be engendered. Participation in the adult program is voluntary, however, and many advocates of sex education are fearful that only a few adults will take advantage of it and that it will not have the desired result. Timothy Monahan, director 路of the adult school, said the course would be offered on an experimental basis at the start because the board is not aware that any other system has experience with such a program on the adult I.eve!.

Noted Comedian Takes Dim View Of Stage Fg re MILWAUKEE (NC) Comedian Bob Hope had been asked about the, trend of today's movies and stage entertainment-where it ,was going. ' "I think we're all going to the police station to be arrested, that's where," he replied. "I mean everybody-:-those who are doing it and. those who are watching." Referring specifically to the current stage production, "0, Calcutta," in which nudity and sexual relations are treated frankly, Hope said: "I went to see it and I wanted to crawl under the seat after the third scene." Hope speculated obscenity would not go any further nor last too long. He said: "They've gone about as far as they can go. The people will reject it." Serious He took a serious stand, with~ . out hammed-up answers when asked for a philosophy of entertainment. He said: I'm positive the world needs anyone who can make you laugh. Laughing means being happy and having a goodrtime. Everyone from presidents, kings to the regular guy in the .audience needs someone to make him laugh." Back in 1933 when Hope ap-' peared in "Roberta" on Broadway he met singer Delores Reade, a' Catholic, and the next year married her in Erie, Pa. They have four adopted children who have been raised in the Catholic faith. 'Asked whether Catholicism as such has had any direet influence on his life, Hope laughed: "I'm married to a Catholic, and when you're married to a Catholic, you are one whether you want to be or not!"

"The past two years' involvement in the Newman Association has. made me .grasp the importance of this apostolate despi te its present sh?rtcommgs ~nd madequacies," declares Rev. Harold J. Wilson, Newman chaplain at B~lstol.Commumt~co~~ege, Fall River. He quotes James R. Perkins, presidept of Cornell Umverslty, as saymg: The interplay of forces that the Harvard, contends Newman' on modern university has trigsecular campuses and theology gered has transformed our departments on Catholic cam-

whole s'ociety-and the uni-

versity with it. Our university is ' the engine of change and is transformed by it." "To be relevant and integral to that 'engine of change,' Newman-no longer called a club, but rather Newman Association or Campus Ministry or some 'such broader term, is continually restructuring itself to broaden its scope of effectiveness," says Father Wilson. . Foreign Term "To many, Newman Associ~颅 tion is a foreign term. Remembering their own college days, some still think of Newman as a club of Catholic students who clique together in order not to_ weaken or lose their faith. However, Newman today means something of vaster dimensions .. I "It is something, unique on each campus, since each campus presents a different situation and singular demands. Perhaps it can be approached by saying it is Christian presence and response on a secular campus and whatever elicits, allows, encourages and develops that Christian presence and response is part of Newman. Multiple Vehicle "The vehicle is multiple: celebration of the liturgy, a seminar, informal discussions, a film series, an action project; an intensive hour of counseling, a quiet dialogue' over a cup of coffee in the campus cafeteria. It can be teaching on the faculty or being involved in decision-making or policy-making of the school. Every day, as th~ dynamic

puses should provide: namely, an experience of faith and a crisis of faith. "Hopefully," concludes the Fall River chaplain, "the number of priests and sisters and laymen and women involved in the Newman apostolate will increase as the need continues to become more acute."

Paraguay Government Pressures ;Church Resents ;Bishops' Protesting Brutality

ASUNCION (NC)-路Paraguay's government is stepping up pressure on the Church's institutions and personnel after the nation's bishops sided with students in protesting against the brutality of police and pro-government mobs. This is the aftermath of events related to the fate of political prisoners and to earlier moves by the government to transfer four Jesuit priests. In May, the bishops of Paraguay warned the regime of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner that the expulsion from the country of the four priests would bring "unforeseen consequences." Paraguay's II路 bishops delivered their note to Raul Pena, minister of education, culture and religious affairs, after the government claimed that the four Spanish Jesuits were fostering unrest among students and agitating against the regime. Pena had earlier suggested to the Jesuits' Paraguay provincial that he transfer the' priests from their present assignments. Chain of Violence Three of them work for the ,Center of Social Research and Action, devotea to economic, social and cultural problems in the country; the other teaches at the Cathoiic University. In a chain of violence against students and other groups-until now unreported because strin-

Teaching Brothers To leave School LOWELL (NC)-The Xaverian Brothers in June, 1970 will give up their teaching assignment at Keith Academy,- a preparatory school here with an enrollment of 450 students. Brother Bartholomew Varden, C.F.X., of Newton, provincial, indicated "heavy financial obligations and decreasing personnel" caused the withdrawal. The future of the school, founded in 1926 by William Cardinal O'Connell, will depend upon the officials of the Boston archdiocese, according to Brother Bartholomew. The Xaverian Brothers' decision to leave the high school was made after a year-long' study by a provincial commission.

The regime of Gen. Alfredo Strpessner then placed all communications media under strict control and forbade any mention of the student protest. But the Catholic weekly, Comunidad, shielded by the Church's communications commission, is carrying on in a tense climate. Pro-gover'nment publications and radio broadcasts attack it as "the main agent of agitation."

SAO PAULO (NC)-An activist group from the movement called the Society for the Defense, of Property, Traditj.9n and the Family (TPF) invaded the 10th general assembly of the Brazilian Bishops' Conference (BBC) here. - The demonstrators carried . their flags and distributed pamphlets opposing the so-called "priests' document," the document drawn up by priests throughout Brazil 'under the responsibility and orientation of the (BBC's) secretariat through its regional offices. The document, on the hierarchical ministry, defends, among other things, the' necessity of ordaining for the ministry married men and of declaring celibacy optional for priests who are actually engaged in the ministry. In their pamphlets,' the' demonstnitbrs rejected the priests' position and, to back up their viewpoint, used Pope Paul VI's encyclical on celibacy and statements by Gabriel Cardinal Garrone, prefect of the Vatican Con-' gregation for Catholic Education, and Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, Vatican Secretary of State emeritus. TPF leaders are Archbishop Geraldo de Proenca Sigaud, S.V.D., of Diamantina and Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer of Camp?s. The priests' document is the principal subject of the bishops' assembly.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Population control advocates urged Congress to double the $50 million authorization asked by the administration for population control programs under foreign aid legislation. William H. Draper, chairman of the Population Crisis Committee, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee: "So critical is the population explosion, that unless present growth rates are checked, it is not likely that any of the other objectives of many 'developing countries can be achieved." Last year, Congress increased . the administration's request of $35 million for population control to $50 million. Less than 90 per cent of the funds were used because recipient governments were unwilling or unable' to advance their programs as fast as desired by the Agency of International Development. The AID policy on population control is that grants must be requested by the countries and that the recipient government programs must be voluntary. Draper's views were endorsed by other officials, including Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, presid~nt of Planned Parenthood-World Population.

Fanciers of horror stories need not resort to fiction now that Between Life and Death by Richard Hammer (Macmillan, 866 Third Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022. $6.95) has been published.

When Broo s resisted, Boblit hit him over the head, knocking him out. To get him off their hands, Boblit strangled him, and his body was flung into a patch of woods. It was not long until Brady and Boblit were apprehended. They were held in jail for five and a half months, then tried separately. Brady was first brought to court. His trial in December 1958, lasted two days. The jury was out two and a half hours, then rendered a verdict of guilty with no recommendation of mercy. Brady was sentenced to death in the gas chamber. Boblit's trial, a few months later, had an identical result. Two Reasons The Brooks murder was only one of many which occurred in 1958. The case was not spectacular, and its disposition was fairly swift. Why, then, has Mr. Hammer devoted a whole book to it? His reasons seem to be two: first, to show how John Leo Brady came to the moment of capital' crime; secondly, to show what he has undergone in the years since his condemnation to death. Brady was born in southern Maryland in 1932. His parents were small farmers who could hardly make a subsistence living. John Leo was the second of two sons, neither of them wanted or kept by their parents. At the age of two weeks he was taken by his Brady grandparents. Discharged From Service He was a sickly child, with a persistent, malodorous infection of the inner ear which made him obnoxious to others. His grandfather, who treated him with affection, died when the child was three. At school John Leo was shunned and became almost totally withdrawn.' He quit school at 15, when he was in the eighth grade, and went to work. . In 1951, he entered the Air Force. His ear trouble had now cleared up, and in the service he found acceptance and com panionship such as he had never before enjoyed. He decided to make the Air Force his career. He met an outsized girl whose background and education were much superior to his. They married in August, 1953. Two months later he was posted to Greenland. When, less than six months thereafter, he got home temporarily, his wife informed him that she wanted a divorce. Their interests were so different as to make the union unendurable for her. He was frantic, pleaded with

KURNOOL (NC)-Nearly 2,500 Anglicans joined the Catholic Church here shortly after five of their leading clergymen took a similar step. The five, all deans and pastors in the diocese of Nandyal here, resigned from the" Anglican Church and made a submission of faith in June before Bishop Joseph Rajappa of K~rnool, in what was regarded as the start of a mass exodus. The 2,500 new entrants, who belong to 20 villages in this district, include the families of the five pastors. Father Cherian Chirayil, local director of ecumenism, offered Mass for the families. Meanwhile, it was. reported that Fathet Chirayil has received many more applications from Anglicans who wish to join the Catholic Church. The mass exodus, described as the greatest wave of defection in the history of the Anglican Church in India, has sprung from dissaffection in Anglican ranks here over a choice given to the Nandyal diocese of joining either a proposed Church of North India or an existing Church of South India. . Many Anglicans have rejected both choices on the ground of theological deficiencies in both churches - mainly de-emphasis on the sacrificial aspect of Mass, optional infant Baptism and nonpreservation of the apostolic succession of priesthood. The pastors, four of whom have been ordained for at least 15 years, said they found these principals were safe in the Catholic Church.
