Bishop Connolly's Statement "Clergy and faithful of the Fall River Diocese rejoice in knowing that Archbishop Medeiros is coming home to New England. He brings with him rare talent and a long tradition of service for the faithful. His career in Texas was marked by concern not alone in word, but in deeds for social justice and the needs of underprivileged Mexicans, forming seventy per cent of the Brownsville Diocese. "He was always most at home in the I houses of the poor and ,afflicted. Texas will be poor without his example of Christlike charity. "Confident that the great Cardinal of Boston had much to do with a choice of successor, I can foresee happy and successful years for the new Archbishop, under the example of a man possessed of spiritual ideals like Cheverus, administrative genius like O'Connell, and the simplicity of a man of the people like the well-beloved Cardinal' Cushing. "May God prosper the Archdiocese of Boston in the new administration. May God bless Archbishop Medeiros."

Cardinal Cushing's Statement I have completed' almost 26 years as Archbishop of Boston and I think it appropriate now to yield that office to other hands. The uncertain health with which I have lived for years makes it impossibl~ for me to carryon with the energy andefficiEmcy required for the leadership of so large an Archdiocese. I have communicated to Pope Paul, and I am pleased that he has seen fit to act upon it without delay. To His Holiness, and to his two saintly predecessors who are with God, I offer my affectionate gratitude for their years of gracious collaboration and brotherly support. They will be always in my prayers. I must use the occasion also to thank all of thoseclergy, religious, and faithful- who during this quarter Turn to Page Two

Bishop Gerrard/s Statement We rejoice at the news of the appointment of Bishop Medeiros as Archbishop of Boston: He is a proven shepherd . of the flock, a kind devoted father to all his children in Christ. A leader in the causes of justice based on God's laws, he is a true son of the Church~

r

To his Eminence, the Cardinal, he comes as a brother in Christ with a heart full of love, loyalty and devotion. ' All of us in this portion of the Lord's vineyard have been specially blessed by the Holy Spirit in having Cardinal Cushing with us and now in welcoming the new Archbishop of Boston. We pray God's abundant graces an~ blessings upon Archbishop Medeiros.

CASTELGAND0LFO (NC) An Italian described by police as a mad Illan hurled two stones at Pope Paul VI at the end of a general audience but miss(~d him by a wide lUargin.· . Vatican sources suid the Pope had not been aware of the attack, whidl came shortly after he ~ad giVl'n his dosing IJlessing. A mOIl:;ignor on the papal staff svon told the Pope of the incident and the Pope show~d no visible reaction. Persons present at tht' aUdience said the n~an, identified later as ~5-year-old Luigi Donno, stood at the left hand side of the audience hall. He was said not to be very far from the raised area where the Pope had deli,,· ered his weekly homily. After the Pope finished his blessing, Donno took rocks from a Slick he had brought with' him. He threw two of them, before people near him realized what was happening. Two priests next to him stopped him while the crowds gasped in surprise. The stones hit the side wall of the front part of the hall but were wide of their target. Police said Donno told them that "the spirits told me to do it." Four Vatican plainclothes policemen on duty in the hall carried Donno out of the hall and turned him over to Italian authorities. During the audience, the Pope' especially greeted a delegation, of U. S. veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

Soc,ialism Answer f:or Latin America MEXico CITY (NC) - Father Gustavo Perez Remirez, Colombian priest and sociologist, is an articulate, outspoken Colombian priest and sociulogist who believes that socialism. is the answer to the underdeveloped and underprivileged status of l\atin Americans. • But an "impor~ed soci!llism, or communism if you will," is not the answer, he told NC News. ./ "The true spirit of socialism has never been effectievly applied in any part of. the wurld," said F~ther Gustavo (as he is known to his parishioners at Meissen, on the outskirts of Bogota). "AlI that has happened is that the ruling authority has been converted into a small group which illegally retains the power and riches in a new t.ype of colonialism. "

Bishop Medeiros Served Diocese In Key Posts

. The ex-Democrats, members of St. Barbara's parish here, made their move at the urging of Father Michael Collins, pastor. "I'm a Democmt anti I'm leading the van," said Father Collins. There were deputy registrars of voters outside the church after Sunday morning Masses, who assisted voters in changing their party registration, or registering to vote. "We are doing this' to let the Democrats know that their platform which contains support for abortion upon demand is resented and that we will do everything humanly possible to let them know our resentment and to get them to change their platform," Father Collins said. The party's position on abortion was taken by them at the state convention in Sacramento.

Mark Centenary Of Unification ROME (NC)-Prayers for the Church and Italy will be offered on the centenary of the unification of Italy, the Italian bishops'· conference has announced. The date, Sept. 20, is also the day that the papacy lost the last vestige of its territory outside the Vatican walls when Ital_ ian troops invaded Rome and made it the capital of Italy. The bishops' conference said the centenary would be honored in' Catholic churches throughOl-!t the nation. It has urged all Italian bishops to "promote moments of prayer for our country." The conference suggested that special prayers for the Church, for Italy and for the poor be offered on that day' during Masses in all the diocesan communities. By recalling the events of that historic day, the conference said, Italian Catholics can "find reasons for a renewed effort in the construction of the earthly city and the growth of the Church's community."

Archdiocesan Drive Donations Decrease ST. LOUIS (NC)-A decline of 14 per cent in donors and close to 11 per cent in total donations was reported in the 1970 annual expansion fund drive by the St. Louis archdiocese. Donors dropped from 90,487 to 78,935 and donations from $2,110,000 to $1,889,377. Father Paul F. Kaletta, fund director, citing factors for the declines, blamed possible "lack of sufficient foiiow-up" in a new direct mail approach instituted this year; general economic conditions, and possible attitude changes among church givers. Calling the size of the drop "considerable," Father Kaletta said: "It indicates, I' think, that some people are narrowing their interest to their own parish and are not worried about the overall work of the archdiocese for all the people."

CONSECRATION: Principals at the consecration on June 9, 1966 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River were: Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, Auxiliary Bishop of Fall River, coconsecrator; Archbishop Medeiros; Most Rev. James L. Connolly, consecrator; Most Rev. Gerald V. McDevitt, Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia.

SALISBURY (NC)-The Catholic bishops and other church leaders in Rhodesia are still standing firm in their decision not to cooperate in what they feel is a racist policy of the government. The bishops and leaders of other major Christian churches in this country have decided not to register as voluntary associations under the Land Tenure Act, which divides the country geograhically between whites and blacks. Under the act, white missionaries would· not be allowed to work with Church schools and other institutions in the black areas without special permission.

Survey Reactions To Liturgy Changes . CALCUTIA (NC) - A survey of lay reaction to the introduction of Indian forms of worship in the Church's liturgy. was ordered by Archbishop Lawrence T. Picachy, S.J., of Calcutta'. The archbishop asked parish priests and heads of institutions to organize a "wide and representatives consultation" with the faithful on 12' specific points of adaptation approved for India by the Vatican last year.

Prelate Advises Church Prepare To Meet Change DES MOINES (NC)-P.redicting the "most trying quartercentury in the entire history of human enterprise" is just ahead, Bishop Charles A. Huswt:!l1 of Pueblu, Colo., said here the Church must be prepared to meet revolutionary changes head-on. "The rt:sponsibility for the mission of the Church is no lunger the responsibility of tht:! Pupe and the hierarchy," the bishop said. "It is no longer the responsibility of priests and Religious. It is the responsibility of us all, and furthermore, revolution is called for because of the society in which the Church is now enmeshed." In the keynote address at a Christian Family Movement regional convention at Grand View College here, the 56-year-old prelate said when Pope 'John XXIII called for a new Ptmtecost in opening Vatican Council II, "he was asking for a creative revolution in the Church." Vatican Council II changed the concept of the Church so that it no longer is looked upon "as the Mystical Body but as the People of God," the bishop declared. The people of God image "is more appealing to modern, democratic-minded man, who is jealous of his freedom," he declared. The Church no longer can be looked upon as "an isolated institution," a fortress where "we can be protected from the turbulent winds of the world." Instead the new Church "is committed to be in the world and for the world and for 'all the people in the world," the bishop asserted. "We are in the new world, and we must serve this world with a new Church," Bishop Buswell said. 'True Revolution' "The changes in our contemporary society are amazing," he added. "During the past quarter century there have been more changes that have taken place in our world than during the last century or longer. We may confidently expect that during the next 1 years, there will be more changes than in the past 25. The new world that is coming into existence is not a particularly pleasant world." In facing the new world, Bishop Buswell speculated that. most Americans still lack "the humility to have true peace in our hearts." "To say that all men are brothers is at least as old as Jesus, and we in our country are quick to say that all men are created equal. That saying is as Ameri.can a's apple pie," the bishop said. "Yet to live this out practically calls for a true revolution. We must be a Church that lives out ourselves and' which bring effectively to the world in which we live this great Christian message that we are all brothers," he continued.

'Broaden BishopSI Authority On Eucharist WA5HINGTON (NC)-A new instruction released simultaneously here and at the Vatican by the Congregation for Divine Worship gives national bishops'

conferences and individual bishops increased authority to determine when the Eucharist will be distributed ounder the species of both bread and wine.

Boston: Glorious HistorYI Weighty Responsibility Most Rev. Humberto S. Medeiros, until now Bishop of Brownsville', Texas, has been appointed the fourth Archbishop of the Massachusetts See. Founded in 1808, Boston was made an Archdiocese in 1875 . comprising the Counties of Essex, Middlesex, ~uffolk, Norfolk and Plymouth, Massachusetts. It has as its Suffragan Sees the Dioceses of Springfield, Worcester, Fall River in Massachusetts; Manchester in New Hampshire; Portland in Maine, and Burlington in Vermont. The first Bishop of Boston was John Lefevre de Cheverus who in 1823 was transferred to France and died the Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux, Bishop Benedict J. Fenwick succeeded to Boston in 1825. Bishop John B. Fitzpatrick followed until 1866. Archbishop John J. Williams was the first archbishop of Boston and he cared for the flock in Boston until 1907. William Cardinal O'Connell then sue· ceeded to the See-its first Cardinal-until 1944. Richard Cardinal Cushing then became Archbishop of Boston until September 1970. Assisting are three Auxiliary Bishops: Bishop Jeremiah F. Minihan, S.T.D., LL.D., V.F.; Bishop Thomas J. Riley, Ph.D.; Bishop Daniel J. Cronin, D.O. Archbishop Humberto S. Medeiros, former Bishop of Brownsville, Texas, and former chancellor or the Diocese of Fall River, now becomes the seventh

shepherd of Boston and the fourth archbishop of .the Prov. ince of Boston. Archdiocese of Boston Under Archbishop Medeiros' jurisdiction will be 1,191 diocesan priests active in the archdiocese, 118 priests active in other areas and 1,058 priests belonging to'religious orders. Two hundred eleven Brothers serve in Boston, as do 5,715 religious sisters. There are 401 parishes in the archdiocese, 24 missionsJ 12 stations, 572 chapels. Two diocesan seminaries and 20 seminaries or scholasticates prepare men for ·the Priesthood with an enrollment of 862 seminarians. Seven colleges and universities serve some 20,019 students along with 60 diocesan and parochial high schools, 26 private high schools and 211 parochial and diocesan elementary schools, 24 private elementary schools, two institutional schools' and three protective institutions, all of which serve some 113,537 youngsters. Pubiic school pupils in special religion classes number 300,983. There are seven general hospitals, four special hospitals, six schools for nurses, four orphanages and 11 homes for the aged under the Archbishop's care for 391,512 needy guests. Last year, Boston had 41,962 baptisms (including 795 converts), 15,656 marriages; 19,941 deaths. The Catholic population of the Archdiocese of Boston is 1,917,815 out of 3,335,895 residents.

The instruction was approved by Pope Paul VI on June 29. Five years ago, the Second Vatican Council, in its Constitution on the Liturgy, decreed that in certain cases-to be decided by the Holy Se~the Catholic clergy,· Religious and laity should be able to receiv~ Communion under the species of both bread and wine. Thh; was done, the new instruction noted, " in order that the fullness of sign in the Eucharistic banquet may be seen more clearly by the faithful." Congregation officials issued the new instruction after receiving numerous requests from bishops, episcopal conferences and superiors of religious orders and congregations. They added that the instruction "marks the completion of the reform of the Communion rite reintroduced by the Second Vatican Council. The instructiun noted that all previous approvals given by the Holy See for Communion under both kinds remain in effect. The new element in the instruction is the "decentralization" of authority for granting this faCUlty. "While previously it was for the Holy See to determine the cases in which it was to be permitted, cases may now be determined by the episcopal conferences or individual bishops," said the congregation. llishop Joseph L. Bernardin, neneral secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, sent a copy of the instruction to each bishop in the United States prior to the general release of the document. In an accompanying letter, he said that, in due time, our conference committee on fiturgical affairs will make proposals to the bishops regarding those matters in the instruction which require conference action."

WASHINGTON (NC)-An official for the National Conf€:rence of Catholic Charities told a Senate committee that the ad-' ministi'iltion-sponsored Fa mil y Assistance Plan should be enacted this year, despite its shortcom ings. In testimony before tile Senate Finance Committee, charities secretary Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran said his social welfare organization could not endorse the plan in its entirety "because of ddiciences we have noted." "It is imperative, however," he added, "that some legislation be enacted this year which will provide the necessary reform, adequate financial assistance and social services of high quality." He said the plan "goes far to attain these times * >/0 * it should be improved and enacted." Msgr. Corcoran called the bill "a good beginning", in setting the course of this' country's concern for the poor, but said "the welfare system should be completely federalized." This mean,s,he said, tha~ the plan would be totally financed' and administered by the federal government. "Only this way," he explained, "can we eliminate the inequities which are bound to exist when we have a diffusion of responsibility for the public welfare program."

Trying-on Session Results In Purchas.e of Longuette

Majority Favors

By Marilyn Roderick I've succulllbed-I bought a midi. All of my friends are yelling traitor but I must admit I do like that dress. Actually it's stretching it a bit to call it a midi because the hemline hovers just below my knee and since it has a full, soft skirt, in motion it really can't be classified as tensive "trying-on" session and a midi. Perhaps we can call to my delight I found myself being aided by a very young, deliit longuette. Last week Joe cate-looking blonde who turned and I spent a couple of days in New York and tHat was when I found my resistance loweringjust a wee bit. It wasn't because of the midis I saw being worn because the weather was warm and the midis were few and far between.

One could realiy count the ones that were being worn on the streets without going over ten; and these were worn as total looks with shoes, stockings, and other accessories all blending into the total fashion picture. On the taller women who appear on the streets of New York the look and effect are quite elegant. In the stores, though, this new length was about all that could be found on the racks. Minis were there but they were mostly dis pursed through-out the sales sections lOr the teen dEtpartmenfs. Elongated Knits "How awful,-just ugly-oh, I woudn't be caught dead in that", were some of the comments I made as I perused rack after rack of the new styles but suddenly [ walked into a small boutique area where the clothes really appealed to me. It was a collection that was being modeled this particular day and it featured the clothes from the boutique collection of Teal Traina. What really caught my eye was s\?me of the evening clothes that were being modeled; they were absolutely striking. Of course the models did help the clothes because they must have been at least five feet nine and they weighed all of a hundred pounds, soaking wet. "Why don't you try something on?" urged my very patient husband as I walked over to a rack that contained some very elongated knits slit up past the kne~.

Buffalo'Moves to Bar Black Panther Paper~ BUFFALO (NC) - A Buffalo police department spokesman announced that patrolmen have been ordered to arrest street peddlers of Black Panther publications under provisions of a 1902 'New York anarchy statute. The law is pending review by the U. S. Supreme Court. According to the Buffalo police official, the city has "been seeking a statute to arrest them under for some time. From now' on, when patrolmen see them selling these papers, they'll arrest them for it. "These papers advocate bombing and shooting police officers and other anarchistic acts. They advocate the overthrow of government right in these papers." National officials of the Panther party said they planned to continue selling the paper and other party publications at least until a Supreme Court decision on the constitutionality of the New York law.

"The rapidity of change in the last 10 years has us living in a state of anxiety." The changes are as rapid in home and family as they are in Church and government, he added. "Dad no longer is the authority figure he was in earlier days. The historic idea that wisdom comes with age isn't as popular as it used to .be," he said. Father Imbiorski said young people are much more adaptable to change than their elders. For this reason, he advised older generation parents to listen to ideas expressed by their children, the'n, when requested, to express adult ideas and values clearly and concisely. Young people espouse many changes, he said. But they "still need you to bounce up against," he told parents.

"Socialism is a word which can have many me.aningsl~ Archbishop Merquez warned in his pastoral letter. "The word tends to be ambiguous."

"It is true that there are many injustices in the world," the archbishop said, "and we must continue striving to eliminate the~. But \ye _cannot· combat social injustice with another injustice." Catholics who wish to caIl. themselves socialists must openly and plainly profess Christian truth, wholly and completely, without error or modifications of any kind, Archbishop Marquez said. In July, when students asked' Bishop Mendez if there is an affinity between Marxism and Christianity, he replied: "Marxism is a means for man to fulfill himself, but so is Christianity. J myself feel fraternaIly linked with my brothers, the Marxists." . Asked 'if he approved the Cuban revolution, Bishop Mendez told the students: "Jf Cuba had succeeded only in shaking off U.S. colonialism, it would be enough to consider it good."

Avers' Pope Paul Most Influential For World P'eace 'CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI is one of the "most influential" workers for world peace and an "ardent" defender of the' rights' of man, Zambia's new ambassador to the Holy See said here, In presenting his cl'etlentials to the Pope, the new ambassador, Peter Wilfred Matoka, told him: "My presence here is a reaffirmation of my country's evergrowing respect for you, not only as the visible head of the' Catholic Church, but also as on.e of the most influential and widely respected campaigners for world peace and one of the most ardent protagonists of the rights of man." The 40-year-old African diplomat, who had been high commissioner of Zambia in London before being sent to the Vatican, paid tribute also to the Pope's efforts to alleviate human suf·' , ferings. ' "These sufferings and miseries still trouble the world," he, said. "I am confident, however, that the Church under your guidance and great influence will continue to give leadership to the world in the endeavor to bring an end to those unhappy situations where men, in the depths of frustrations, have taken up arms against each other." True Development In reply, Pope Paul took up . the theme of frustration as the cause of war, saying: "We must keep in mind that frustration arises out of a disorder, and tl,tat to avoid such disorder it is necessary to respect a correct hierarchy of values." . Pope Paul noted that Zambia is a developing nation and stressed that here must be "a development of the whole man both as an individual and as a member of the community." If devolopment seeks only ma. terial betterment, he said, this will not be "true deveolpment but rather it would be an element of disorder." Matoka was born April 8, 1930. He took a 'degree from Rhodes University in South Africa, and in 1964 was! elected a member of the National Assembly of Zambia. Among government ministries he has headed those of information and post. sanitation, energy. trallsportation and public works.

Plans to Integrate Newman Club H 0 U S TO N (NC) - Frank Schmieding is a Navy veteran who never spoke to a black man until he was 19, but he came here to integrate the black leadership lab at St. Mary's ~eminary and to learn how to i'ltegrate the all-white Newman Club back at Georgia State ,university, where he is a sophomore 'studying hospital administration. Schmieding, 28" commented that "there was a barrier, a brick wall between the black and white students" that helped keep black Catholics out of the Atlanta 'School's Newman Club. "I came to this conference," he said, "to learn an approach to use in an effort to encourage black Catholic students at GSU to join the Newman Club."

CanadianBishops Urge Liberation For Minorities 0ITAWA (NC)-A calt fur gtmerous support of all Canadian churches in a "movemt'nt ()f liberation from lIil forms of oppression" among minoritit-s was made in the Itl70 Labor lJay statement issued on behalf of the Catholic bishops of the nation. "Across Canada, a creative minority of Christians is revising priorities, shal'ing more resources, animating fellow citizens, and iniliating new coalitions to seek social justice from 'local and wol'ld levels," the statement sa id, "May/their ranks increase and the fruits' of their labor multiply.,the glory of God is man fully alive,''' it added, The statement was prepared under the direction of Bishops Paul J. O'Byrne of Calgary, Alberta; Joseph N. MacNeil of St. John New Brunswick and Norman J. Gallagher of Thunder Bay, Ontario., of the social action office, Canadian Catholic Conference, organization of the Canadian hierarchy. The general theme of the statement was "liberation," It emphasized the "process of liberation involves active participation in society's reconstruction together with a personal chan"ge of heart." Many observers expect the 1970s to be a "time of, troubles," but in the midst of present world turmoil "we discern the proddings of the Holy Spirit," the statement said, 'Special Opportunity' "On every continent anguished voices are crying out for liberation from the slavery of war, economic want, political tyranny, sterile legalism, social discrimination, stifling paternalism, cultural disparity, and spiritual alienation," it declared. The impatient call is for "a change of heart. and for more humane policies now" for mil. lions of poor still denied basic necessities of life. "We consider these yearnings to be a current expression of the 'hunger and thirst after justice' of which the Gospel speaks. The new ferment, for it hazards, represents a special opportunity for human betterment - if only people of today will seize the moment to build anew," the statement said.

Explains Populist Suspicion Of Intellectual Elites

THE ANCHOR-'13 Thurs." Sept. 10, 1970

En,d Minimum Wage Strike in Spain

A serious danger of the Populist-or Jeffersonian Democratic-philosophy that I have been expounding in the last couple of columns is that it could very easily become anti-intellectual and even paranoid. The Populist is profoundly suspicious of elites. Whether it was Thomas Jef- are not very bright.

who seem to have unique access to power-or to knowledge. • The Populist argues that he and his fel10w people are as good as any man, whether that man be the Harvard professor or a Wall Street banker, or a senior government bureaucrat, or-to use the classic phrasea striped-pants diplomat (who later came to be suspected of homosexuality). Indeed, the Populist can rather easily conclude that there are conspiracies going on; that "they," or "the establishment," or "the system" are conspiring to get him and the rest of the people, take away from him his family, his property, his peace, and his security. It is probably a rather good thing to be suspicious and skeptical about those who have power and prestige, those who claim a superiority by reason of their knowledge and skills. ' No society can do without the powerful or the prestigious, or the intelligent and the expert, but it is still a good thing for the members of the society to keep those who govern them either political1y or intel1ectual1y on their toes. There is nothing more arrogant than an elite that has become complacent over its own knowledge or ability. Alienated From People . But it is one thing to be skep-' tical of elites,' and it is quite another to accuse them of conspiracy. It is one thing to be just a bit suspicious of the expert, and it is quite another to deny any worth in his expertise. It is' one thing to realize that the professor may take himself and his intel1ectual skills altogether too seriously, but it is quite another to reject those skills as worthless and to despise the professor as not fully human. There have been Populist intel1eCtuals, but those of us who claim such a dual alliance must not kid ourselves about the strain. We cannot become so enamored of the wisdom of the people to romantical1y equate inarticulateness with wisdom. Some of the people, alas, are quite dumb, and many others

GRANADA (NC) - Striking , construction workers who clashed with police here several weeks ago have returned to their jobs under a new labor agreement that guarantees them a daily minimum wage of $2.21. The pact between union offi'cials and more than 600 companies throughout the province also establishes a 48-hour maximum work week, and guarantees labor~rs a yearly bonus of seven days' salary. Three workers were killed and many others wounded, and 37 policemen were injured here in July during violence stemming from a protest in which the workers were demanding a daily base pay of $2.43.

The Populist intel1ectual can ill afford to engage in sentimentality or guilt feelings in the presence of those who are not as sophisticated as he is. Intel1ectuals can easily come to think of themselves as distinct from the people and alienated from them. One then either feels guilty about the alienation or contemptuous about those from whom one is alienated. In neither position is the intel1ectual able to 'Play' his proper role, which I take it could be summarized by saying that he is the "idea man" .for the rest of society.

Religious TV Programs More Divers.ified NEW 楼ORK (NC)-Religious television programs will be longer. more diversified and occupy better time slots during the 1971 viewing season. NBC NE'WS announced here. Donald Meaney, NBC News vice president,' said the traditional format o~ half-hour programs shown in tour and five part series will be replaced with a smaller numner of hour路long specials. produced in association with four faith groups. National Catholic Office of Radio and Television (NCORT), National Council of Churches. Jewish Theological Seminary and Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commiss~on are the faith groups involved in the hour-long shows. Traditionally, religious pro-

grams h&ve been aired Sunday morning or early afternoon. But NBC News' religious unit tentatively plans to program 16 hours in the 4 to 5 P.M. time slota viewing period attracting much bigger audiences. The 16 hours are schedUled for Sunday. but Charles Reilly. J.... executive director of NCORT, called the Sunday airing plan "flexible." "Our offiCi> is lloping that some of the programs will be aired on days other than Sun路 day," Reilly said, noting that religion should be part of viewers' lives throughout the week. . The NCORT director praised NBC's new programming format, citing an original one-hour drama, written by an NCORT consultant and aired last May in a late afternoon time slot.

"We received over 1,300 letters requesting copies of the script," Reilly sail!. "The overwhelming number of requests, not to mention the even greatt'r number of comments Wi> reo ceived praising the show. is a positive indication that the onehour format is the way we should go with as much of our future programming as possible." Reilly said next year's specials -including documentaries, dmmatization and discussions-will not necessarily deal wHh traditional religious subjects, but encompass "a broad spectrum of social issues." First program. scheduled for Jan. 10, is a film from the Prado Museum in Madrid, produced with the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission.

Plan New Basilica at Shrine Of Our Lady of Guadalupe MEXICO CITY (NC) - Construction of a new basilica at the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe will begin next year, Msgr. Gullermo Schulemburg, director of the shrine, announced. In spite Of路 efforts to save the 200-year-old building, the front walls of the structure. have sunk more than 10 feet and are still sinking, he said. Nearly a million dollars had been spent over a six-year period placing reinforced concrete pillars underneath the building. "It might be possible to save the Basilica, Manuel Gonzalez Flores, the chief engineer for the project declared "but it would cost many times the amount already spent in repairs, and there is no guarantee that the leveling would be permanent." Other engineers have predicted that the building cannot last more than 10 years, even after restoration. They have also expressed fears that the basilica might collapse. In addition, the present building is far too small to accommodate the crowds that flock there, Msgr. Schulemberg said. Attracts Tourists .It is generally agreed that a new building is necessary, but many churchmen, including Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceo of Cuero ,

navaca, have declared that the proposed building-with an estimated cost of $14 million-is far too expensive. "It is offensive to the poverty of the great majority of our pile grims," Bishop Mendez has said. The new basilica will be built near the old one on Tepeyac Hill, where Our Lady appe~red to the Indian Juan Diego in 1531. In pre-Colombian times Tepeyac Hill was the site of the Indian goddess Tonantzin, the mother of the gods. The land on which the new basilica will be built is owned by the Mexican government, which has agreed to donate the land, reportedly because of the great number of tourists the shrine brings into the country.

The committee recommendation followed assessment of response for aid which came in the wake of Hurrican Celia which. struck Corpus Christi, Tex., Aug. 3

In a report. tei. a)l, ·Catho1ic bishops and Catholic Charities agencies,-the committee said: "It is important that there be a local disaster r.eadiness plan with pre-plannirig and training."

Deplores Prejudice Against Immigrants STOCKHOLM (NC)-The antiimmigrant attitude in Sweden was deplored by the editor of the Stockholm diocese's magazine, Katolsk Kyrkotidning.

"I feel ashamed to be Swedish," Father Lars Rooth, S.J" said in an editorial on the institute's report. "We believe ourselves to be experts on minority problems abroad." Father Rooth said. "We are eager to present other countries proposals and advice as to how matters should be arranged. However, when the same ideas are to be realized at home we find it more difficult. Nearly half the population is against foreigners. "

The program prepared by the Foxes h'as been in use at St. Anastasia's School, Teaneck. and four other schools in the Newark archdiocese. Father William J.

Available to Parents He denied a charge that the program was being operated secretly. saying that the manual is available to parents who wish to review the program. Dr. James Fox claimed the program consists of 20 lessons a year, each lesson lasting about 10 or 15 minutes. He said it is intended for all grade levels, from kindergarten through the 8th. Explaining the neeu for the program, Father Daly said that on the high school level "the feedback we get from the kids is that high school is a little late to teach the facts of life."

Survey Reveals Crime Precedes Drug Add iction

:

WASHINGTON (NC)--A study of several hundred heroin addicts here contradids the old asumption that drug addiction leads to a life of crime. Rather, the study of 206 addicts discovered that 80 per cent of the men and 40 per cent of the women had committed their first crime before their first use of the drug. The study conducted by the .city's narcotic treatment administration led Dr. l:lal'l'y S. Brown, chief of the program's research division, to conclude that for a youth to succumb to heroin use, or to other criminal behavior, is "a means of adapting to his social situation and not, as many . believed, a reflection of individual pathology." Similar findings resulted in a study at the Lexington (Ky.) Addiction Research Center of the National Institute of Mentai Health according to a federal official who specializes in the drug addiction field.

"'riends' Influence The D.C. study was based on a random sample of 206 of the 2,000 heroin addicts registered in the program here. It examined five critical times in an addict's life to try to define the total life style, including criminal activity, in which his addiction occurred.' Of the 77 juveniles interviewed, 65.8 per cent placed primary emphasis on influence of friends in describing why they first took heroin. Adult men were far more likely to cite curiosity as a major reason for taking the drug. Desire to relieve personal problems was a reason cited more frequently by women than by men. A third of the women in the study said their need to obtain drugs brought alJout their first illegal acts. Among the men, the "need to obtain money or ma'terial benefits (other than drugs)" was cited as the primary motive for, the first criminal act. The study also shows that once heroin addiction ha~: begun, drug-related involvement in crimes becomes greater than before in order to supply the habit.

• Report Dangers In Exposing Boys To Pornography

THE ANCIIOR·Thurs., Sept'. 10, 1970

Seeks [Bocking For C~ean F'~lms

. WASHINGTON (NC) - Boys under age 14 exposed to heavy doses of erotic materials are in danger of developing deviant sex behavior, a pair of researchers in the sex fit~ld reported. Compiled by Keith E. Davis, Rutgers University psychology department chairman, and George N. Brauchton, University of Colorado, the report was submitted to the President's Commission on Obscenty and Pomography. The pair said they based their findings on a study of 365 males in the 18-30 age bracket, ranging from Catholic seminarians to black college students and Denver jail inmates. The commission is scheduled to submit its report. to President Nixon and Congress later this month. Advance reports of the commission's findings, indicating a comparatively easy line on pornography and laws relating to it for both adults and young people, already have stirred wide controversy.

LOS ANGELES (NC)--Cowboy Don Barry, slur of 120 Western movies, would like to borrow $1 from 1.5 million people to bank· roll 10 fumily-style Westerns. Idea behmd the plan is to pro· vide clean, wholesome movies for children who flock to Saturday matinees. People irH,'resled ill lending money for t.he pro,iect-all loans would bp :.)aid back from the movies' p~ofit--can send the money to Barry at Universal City, Calif. If the project does not get off ~he ground, all money will be relurned to the lenders. Commenting on his plan, Harry said: "The money is rolling in and I am amazed at the interest shown. These pictures will all have a G (family) rating. 1 will go into production with the first $300,000 and it is conceivable that I shall receive this from the Los Angeles arCH alqne."
