Solid Religious Homes Build Priests First Professional· Nationwide ·Study of Seminarians WASHINGTON (NC) - Vocations to the Catholic priesthood begin in solidly religious families and continue in persons who have strong appreciation of the priest's sacred duties, according to results of a three-year study of seminarians issued here today by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate. The report also reveals that nearly 90 per cent of the U.S. Catholic seminarians accept celibacy as a necessary condition for ordination. A majority of theology students regard it as positive commitment to Christ.
Contrary to a common assumption, the study also establishes that dogmatic, authoritarian personalities tend to withdraw from the seminary. Conducted by Dr. Raymond A. Potvin and Antanas Suziedelis of Catholic University of America in Washington, the study, titled "Seminarians in the Sixties: A National Survey," is being released this month by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, an independent, non-profit research and information organization founded to serve the Catholic Church in the U.S. .
The majority of U.S. seminarians have fathers who did not obtain a college degree. Most come from suburbs and small cities, less than 20 per cent live in rural areas or large metropolitan centers. An overwhelming majority have had some. previous training in a Catholic school. Ninety-three per cent of the fathers and 96 per cent of the mothers of the seminarians attend Mass weekly or more often and 53 per cent of the fathers and 70 per cent of the mothers receive Com-
munion weekly or more often. The CARA study includes seminarians at all levels: high schoon, college and theological studies. Twenty per cent of the U.S. seminarians took· part-a random selection was taken in proportion to the number of' diocesan, religious or mixed seminaries and in proportion to the size, location and academie standing of seminaries. Only two small seminaries selected failed to cooperate; 98 per iCent of seminary rectors and 90 per cent of the Turn to Page Six

THE At-ICHOR-
Program Director Forsees Bright Future for Retreats CINCINNATI (NC}-Retreats face a bright future in the Church because the Spiritual Exercises on which they are based are becoming better understood according to Father Thomas Burke, S.J., director of the Jesuits' National Program to Adapt the Spirit"Even in theology school," he ual Exercises, who is here in recalled, used Scripture in Ohio directing the fifth order to "we prove theology texts. national workshop on the We had lost the idea of the liv-
Spiritual Exercises. The workshop attracted 335 priests, Religious, and lay men and women from 30 states and seven foreign countries. Father Burke noted that interest in the Spiritual Exercises drawn up by St. Ignatius Loyola, 16th century founder of the Jesuits, is "very much on the increase" but he added that "the new thing about the Exercises is the old thing-that is, we're going back to the Ignatian idea of the 'guided' retreat." God and Retreatant
The "basic idea" has been neglected, he said, in the emphasis of recent times on large numbers of retreatants and on "eloquent preaching." In the guided retreat, the Spiritual Exercises are carried out on a one-to-one basis, with the priest in charge of the retreat seeing each participant for a brief time in order to "direct his prayer," check on his progress, offer suggestions. "Ignatius was afraid of the possibility of a man's dominat路 ing another man," said Father Burke, "and he made it clear that the retreat director is not to interfere with communication between God and the retreatant." "Ignatius wouldn't have understood the term, 'preaching a retreat,''' the priest commented. "He would go to a man's home, if necessary, to guide him in the Spiritual Exercises." Home Retreats The New York-born Jesuit, who has given hundreds of retreats, many to large groups, has been lecturing at Jesuit schools of theology in the U. S. recently on the renewed understanding of the Ignatian Exercises. . As for the numbers of retreat路 ants required to support a modern retreat house, Father Burke believes that "we must forget about numbers." Like Ignatius, he would go wherever he was needed and conduct retreats in whatever places were available. "Retreatants could sleep on the fIoor,'~ he asserted, adding, "And it is possible to give retreats in people's homes." He cited a group of Sisters who met with 10 women one night a week in a different home each week, closing the retreat with Mass at the retreat house. "As a result of the discussions and meditations in the women's homes, the husbands were involved, and so were the children," he observed. Heart of Retreat New developments in liturgy and Sacred Scripture are a spur to improved retreats, according to Father Burke.. "The Ignatian retreat is evangelical - built around Scripture," he said, "but retreat directors got away from this emphasis with long lectures on the virtues and so on."
Civilizers of Man Increased means and increased leisure are the two civilizers of man.-Disraeli
ing Word of God speaking directly to us in Scripture." As for the liturgical renewal, "it's God's blessing on our time," Father Burke declared. "In giving a retreat you aren't to take the Exercises and make the liturgy secondary, but you must make the liturgical sacrifice the heart of the retreat."
Sees Convention' Of Episcopalians Turning Point NOTRE DAME (NC) Delegates to the Episcopalian Church's special general convocation here grappled with a wide variety of present day issues ranging from meeting the demands of the "Black Manifesto" to the morality of conscientious objection to the war in Vietnam. Bishop John E. Hines of New York, presiding bishop at the convention, termed the gathering "the most pioneering and monumental" in the Church's history. Father John B. Coburn, president of the House of Deputies, said the meeting represented "the significant turning point in the life of the church for this generation." Father Coburn said the significance of the convention lay in the degree to which the bishops, clergy and laymen displayed an enthusiasm for grappling with the deep moral questions of the day. "We exposed ourselves as we never have before to the questions that divide us and we have stayed together," he stated. It remained to be seen, however, whether the consensus achieved here would hold together in the wake of criticism already being heard from home dioceses about the convocation's most controversial ~ action - the decision to meet the black militant demand for money. "It will be extremely difficult for people back home to understand what happened here," Bishop Hines admitted.
Gallup Bishop Ready For Challenging Job MADISON (NC) - Fear has been stalking the mind of '54'year-old Bishop Jerome J. Hastrich ever since he received a top secret message indicating the Pope's intention of appointing the prelate to the poorest dioceses in the United States. Pope Paul has named the Auxiliary Bishop of Madison to head the Gallup, N. M., diocese. At the same time, the Pontiff slashed away part of the diocese, adding it to the newly created Phoenix, Ariz., Diocese. Bishop Hastrich views his appointment as a "most extraordinary challenge," noting that he has promoted the apostolate of the poor and the underprivileged for many years. "Now I have an opportunity to prove this interest," he said.

Seek to Reform Food Stamp Plan WASHINGTON (NC) - Three religious groups presented the House Agriculture Committee with nine recommendations for major' reform of the nation's food stamp program. Representatives of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the National Conference of Catholic Charities, and the Nat.ional Couillcil of Churches, in joint testimony, called the hunger problem in the United States "morally outra.geous" because "hunger and malnutrition exist in this country needlessly." They declared: "This is an affluent land. Our economy is moving towards a gross nationafi product of over AID FOR NONPUBlIC SCHOOLS: State of Pennsylvania is one trillion dollars.

Lutheran Advises C'hurch To Step Into Vacuum GREENWICH (NC)-The Church should not try to be "the cuase-chaser, the camp -follower of whatever revolution is doing at the moment," a Lutheran meeting on "Contemporary Christian Mission" was told here in Connecticut. "She cannot settle for merely 'being pres- said that "if all they see of us is our desperate emergencyent where the action is,'" revolutionary style, a style only the Rev. Gilbert E. Doan of distantly and temporarily related
Philadelphia said. "Whatever emerge"cy action may be called for, and much is, we must refuse to let our minds and hands be dominated by the 'revolutionary' mystique. We must learn to live in the long run as well as in the short." Mr. Doan, northeastern regional secretary for the National Lutheran Campus Ministry, spoke to 50 churchmen - half from the 'United States and the rest from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Hungary. The fiveday meeting was sponsored by the Lutheran World Federation: Testimony The Philadelphia minister said that "if, as a Church, we have anything of our own to offer, it is our testimony to the Gospel of Christ's presence in the modern world." Citing the Church's responsibility for "those around us," he

Mr. Doan al!;o said the mass media "are leaving a vacuum in people's lives" which "the communication of the Gospel can fill, and which we must learn to exploit." He said this "vacuum" is caused by "the ephemeral, mechanical, distant. frustratingly diverse and rapid, manipulative and 'sales-oriented character of mass communication." "I think we fail to see that communication by churchmen and preachers, designed with other goals in mind, is going to seem increasingly attractive and palatable," he said. He warned, however, that if "the communication of the Gospel apes the media and ignores the vacuum, it will faiL"
Priest Says Northern Ireland Destruction Worse Than Biafra PHILADELPHIA (NC) - An Irish missionary priest who has spent the past two years shuttling in and out of war-torn Biafra on relief flights he helped arrange said here the destruction he witnessed in Northern Ireland is worse than the effects of bombing in Biafra. In an interview, Father Dermot Doran, C.S.Sp., who pioneered night relief flights to Biafra, described conditions in riot-torn Northen Ireland as "appalling." "I've seen the results of bombing in Biafra," he said, "but nothing there is as bad as what I saw during the past several days in Belfast and Derry (Londonderry). It was as bad as London after a World War II blitz." "There is peace at the moment," Father Doran conceded, "but it is the calm before the storm." Reporting· on interviews he had with William Cardinal Conway of Armagh and with Bishop William Philbin of Belfast, Father Doran said both prelates emphasized that the root causes of Northern Ireland's troubles
were not religious but were political, social and economic.
Food Aid Plan ~nd Concerns Portugal
Father Doran admitted, however, that religious differences, although not the root of the conflict, do form the basis for drawing the battle lines. "The people are living in constant fear," Father Doran declared. "The Catholics fear being massacred by the Protestants. The Protestants fear being led into the 'Popish republic' 'of Ireland which has a lower standard of living." "I got the impression," he observed, "that Northern Ireland is on the brink of civil war." "I hate to make such compari- . sons," Father Doran said, "but I honestly detected the same fear among the Catholics of Derry and Belfast that I've seen among the people of Biafra. In the case of the Irish, the fear is not a fear of genocid~ however, which leads the Biafrans to mistrust the Nigerians, but a fear of suppression, humiliation and subjugation."
LISBON (NC) - Concern is mounting as the termination of the U. S. "Food for Freedom" aid program for Portugal nears. Ending the distribution of U. S. government food by the Catholic Relief Services in December is part of an over-all U. S. priorities policy to phase out distribution under the "Food for Freedom" program in countries where an improvement in economic conditions is considered to warrant the withdrawal of this form of aid. In anticipation of the phaseout, Portuguese Caritas, this country's branch of Caritas Internationalis, Catholic charities agency, has been reorganized to provide aid for underprivileged families when the distribution of U. S. surplus food is discontinued.
Keep Animosity Alive Cardinal Conway, he said. described religion as the "prod used by the ruling party to keep the Protestant and Catholic working classes at each other's throats."· The Protestant working class, Father Doran reported, is poor and lives in very bad conditions - as . do the Catholics. The Northern Irish government retains the support of poor Protestants, Father Doran quoted Cardinal Conway as saying, by keeping religious animosity alive through parades and through fear of being led into the Republic of Ireland in the South. The fact that the basic issues are not religious, Father Doran stated, is shown by the fact that Londonderry industrialist Ivan Cooper, a Protestant, was elected to the Northern Ireland parliament from a predominantly Catholic constituency because he was an advocate of civil rights. .

Prelate Urges Close Friendship Between Anglicans, Catholics
SUDBURY (NC) Bishop Remi DeRoo of Victoria, B.C., suggested here in Ontario that Anglicans. and Catholics be more than "casual friends." They should be close friendspraying together and working for the common good Bishop , DeRoo said. ' Addressing the Anglican General Synod, highest ranking legis· lative body for the Anglican Church of Canada, Bishop DeRoo outlined several possibilities where joint talks and action are feasible.

Some references considered of· fensive to Jews, however, have been cut-exp'fessions such as "damned synagogue" and "generation of vipers"-and the play has been shortened by one hour to last about six and a half hours. . Worldwide pressure for text changes, used since the 1630's, followed the Second Vatican Council's declaration absolving the Jewish people of guilt in the de:lth of Jesus.

Water Carriers The first man. on the moon, Neil Armstrong, returning to the Ohio farm where he was born, spoke of a favorite song of many people that says that "this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius." The astronaut said that the mythical Aquarius is a "water carrier." He said that the implication is-or should be-that everyone be willing to carry his share of the water. It is not en~ugh to talk about love .and peace, to paint signs and posters proclaiming these highly desirable qualities. Talking may make people aware but just does not_ get the job done.
Peace among men, concern for one another-these things come from the concerted efforts of many individuals, each one of whom is willing to "carry water" and to press for -pe.ace with justice. . feace is the tranquility that comes from order, and the brder among men should reflect the order of God with each person giving to God and giving to every other person what is due. The "water carriers" are the ·many little people, the dependable people" the unsung husbands and wives and mothers and fathers and all those people who do their job day after monotonous day knowing that they may not be doing much but that they are doing something and that all these little "somethings" added together can and do make an impact on those around them and on the present age.

to be related to a seminarian's decision to withdraw fro~ the seminary-quality of the institution, his view of the priesthood, view of celibacy - family ren'gious background and the amount of previous Catholic education did not, although both factors influence decisions to enter. The largest proportion of withdrawals (34 per cent) occurred between high school and college. In high sch<fol, seminarians withdraw at a rate of 25 per cent; theologians leave at a rate of 12 per cent (one per cent'in the fourth, or final year). lit the year following the original collection of data for the study 21.6 per cent of those interviewed had left their _semina,ries. A high correlation was found between those who" left and negative attitudes toward celibacy registered in the original responses, possibly indicating that their replies had been influenced by their pending decision to leave. .
Urges Anglicans Back State Aid CANBERRA (NC)--An Anglican Church leader threw his support to state aid for parochial schools and urged other Anglicans to do the same. Bishop K. J. Clements of Canberra arid Goulbourn told the annual diocesan synod that Anglicans should change their. attitude toward state aid for private schools as the Catholics have done. He said the unity of Australia should be the concern of all, especially of the prime minister and. the government. He added that "true unity can be assured only if there is justice, justice for all. and that "whatever the ultimate fate of parochial schools, the sensible policy for the immediate future is that the state should assist them to continue, provided the state schools themselves are adequtely supported," . "Australian Roman Catholicsof today for the most part are of a very different temper from their forerunners," the bishop said. "Furthermore, they delight in it. I hope also that Australian Anglicans of today are also of a different temper from their antecedents in such matters,"
Continued from Page One "Priests now ordained and committed to celibacy should never call into question their practice of celibacy, any more than a married man should call into question the marriage vow," he emphasized. The Indiana Bishop, who will be installed as head of this Ohio See on Oct. '2, acknowledged that the door to optional celibacy might be opened in th.e future but said that "for the present f see no reason' for changes." Some . of Bishop Leibold's comments were. "One would be terribly simplistic to say that the solution to all social problems is ·to take a phL" "Very basically, there are certain moral prip<:.,iples we must live by, that are rooted in the very laws of nature." Involvement of See "We are picking up a lot of interpretations (of statements by national hierarchies on Pope Paul's birth control encyclical Humanae Vita), but how many are willing to read' what these national hierarchies wrote?" Women priests? "It's possible." Laymen? "We are a pilgrim Church and, therefore, we have a lot of room for development * * * Our thrust for the future will be involvement of everybody in the direction of the archdiocese."

Parents Protest' Sex Education
THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fali River-Thurs. Sept. II, 1969
Gard'ener Hates T,h,oug,~t Of Reorga,nizing
ST. LOUIS (NC)-Nearly a dozen Catholic parents have ,pick" eled the St. Louis archdiocese chancery office, protesting a program of sex education and sensitivity training in parochial schools. The group staged a sini'i1ar protest a week earlier. Father John E, Bokel, assistant superintendent of schools, said "there is no official sex education program and no sensitivity training in the archdiocesan schools." Father Bokel repeated earlier explanations that a program of family life education has been approved, but only on an experimental'basis for two as-yet unnamed schools but that there 'has been no "sensitivity training" whatever. The parents, who failed in an attempt to have a letter of protest delivered to John Joseph Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis claimed the guidance program invades the privacy of the home and is aimed at introducing sex· education in the schools. Father Bokel said: "There have been so many conversations and so little progress (with the parents) that I find it difficult to understand what we are talking about." He feels a lack of parental understanding of the archdiocesan program is the cause of the problem. .

Now you may enjoy a speciallow-cost.health protection plan that pays "extra ,cash" direct to you when unexpected sickness or accident. hospitalizes you or a member of your family! Mutual Protective Insurance Company, specializing in health insurance for Catholics for over 3S years, has created a brandnew health plan especially for Catholics like yourself-the HOSPITAL PLAN FOR CATHOLICS.
T
"Try" This Plan For Only $1
You can actually "try" the plan under a special no strings "introductory" offer: For only $1.00, you can enroll yourself 'and all eligible members of your familywithout having to see a company representative and without any red tape whatsoj!ver -during this limited enrollment period. ' And, after you receive your p'olicy, if for any reason you decide )'OU don't want it, you may return it within 10 days and you~ dollar will be promptly refunded! Why You Need Tho Hospital Plan For Catholics In Addition To Ordinary Health Insurance
Because no matter what other insurance you now carry, it simply won't cover everything! Think for a moment-in these days of rising medical costs, would your present insurance cover all your hospital bills? All your surgical and in-hospital doctor's bills? AIl the mediCines, drugs, supplies and the many other extras? Probably not. And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered; what about all your other expenses-the bills that keep piling up at horne-the tremendous and costly upset to your budget, your reserves and your family life?
If you, as husband, father and breadwinner are suddenly ho~pitalized, your income stops, your expenses' go up. Even if you have soine kind of "salary insurance" it probably won't corne close to replacing your full-time pay. If your wife is suddenly hospitalized, who will look. after the family, do, the laundry, the marketing, the cleaning? You may have to take time off from your job-or hire domestic help. If one of your children is hospitalized, you'll certainly spare no expense. If you're a senior citizen, with limited reserves, and are hospitalized, even with Medicare, where will the "extra" money you need come "from? : Without any extra cash protection ,in case of a hospital emergency, debts may be incurred, savings may be los~, peace of mind may be shattered-and even recovery .can be s~riously delayed. How The Plan Protects You And Your Family
Now, with the unique protection of the Hospital Plan for Catholics you can avoid these worries-because you can be assured of extra cash income when you or any covered family member goes to the hospitalto help keep you out of debt, to help keep your savings intact, to speed recovery by . easing your worried mind! No matter how ,large your family, no matter what your age or occupation and without any other qualifications whatsoever, you can choose any of the four low-cost plans shown at right. In addition to the important cash benefits, you get all these valuable "extra" features: . Your "Health·Bank Account"
Here's a wonderful -benefit, no matter which plan you choose, almost like an extra '~Bank Account." When your policy is issued, your insurance provides l,lP to $10,000, $7,500 or $S,OOO-according to' the Plan you choose. This is your "HealthBank Account." Then, every month your poljcy is in force, an amount equal to your regular monthly premium (including your first month) is actually added to your maximum! When you have claims, your benefits are simply subtracted from your "ac(Continued on next page)

Strong Labor Movement Represents Labor Best
Priest Asserts Catholic Church Practices 'Cultural Segregation'
By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C. The late Senator Robert F. Kennedy is reported to have said, just a few weeks before he was assassinated in Los Angeles, that "we have to write off the unions and the South now, and replace them. with Negroes, blue-collar whites, and the kids." He is liberals. They did not said to have made this state- die-class have the nexus of past commitment during the Indiana pri- ment to the working class that mary in the course,--of an in- the unions had. It was not what terview with his long-time friend and political confidant, Jack Newfield, Assistant Editor of The Village Voice, who has since written a brilliant chronicle and analysis of the Senator's politics and character between the tragic gunshots of Dallas and Los An gel e s ("Robert Kennedy: A MemOir," E.P. Dutton and Co., New York, $6.95). Returning to the same theme in a subsequent conversation with Newfield after he had been declared the winner of the Indiana primary, the Senator said he thought he now had a chance, "just a chance, to organize a new coalition of Negroes, and working-class white people, against the union and party Establishments." Tragically, we shall never know whether the Senator really had such a chance or not, but, analyzing the results of the 1968. election by hindsight, one is forced to conclude that he greatly underestimated the resources, the dynamism and political know-how of the labor movement and was much' too quick to write it off as a hopelessly reactionary force in American economic and political society. Mistaken Prediction The Senator was not the only one, of course, who made this mistake during the 1968 campaign. All sorts of middle and upper-class liberals-politicians, editors, reporters, and not a few clergymen of all denominations-were firmly persuaded last Fall that organized labor (which, in their opinion, had become hopelessly soft and flabby) was completely incapable of influencing the election one way or the other. More specifically, they took it for granted that the labor movement would be afraid to tackle the issue of race relations, for fear of alienating the disaffected rank and file, and, on the basis of this assumption, mistakenly predicted that a very large percentage of union members would vote the Wallace ticket. Met Issue Head-on The fact is, however, as the three authors of one of the best post-mortem books on the election have pointed out, the labor movement met the racial issue head-on, "in spite of all the doubting prophecies." (An "American Melodrama: The Presidential Campaign of 1968," by Lewis Chester, Godfrey Hodgson, Bruce Page, The Viking Press, New York, $10). These three British reporters are frank to say that "the unions entirely outperformed the middle-class liberals who had been criticizing them so severely for their lack of sensitivity to the moral issues raised by the war In Vietnam. Of course, Wallace could not be fought by the mid-
was said (about the issue of racism) that was crucial'" ...... What mattered was who said (it) and it came best from the unions '" ,~ ... The unions had been much criticized for their attitude earlier in the year. They deserve some credit for redeeming themselves." Theodore H. White, a more conservative American journalist, fully supports the findings of his British 'confreres in his own chronicle of the election, ("The Making of the President 1968," Atheneum Publishers, New York $10). The labor movement's strategy, says Mr. White, was "homely and timehonored: to register working. people, then get them out to vote. But the results, effort and techniques were staggering." Senator Disillusioned One of Robert Kennedy's greatest assets~as Newfield ~nd several other biographers of the late Senator have pointed outwas his ability to keep on learning from experience. Accordingly it would seem fair to assume that, had he lived to see the final results of the 1968 election, he might have modified his opinion that the time had come to write off the unions and to organize a new coalition "against" the union Establishment. . One can't be certain about this, of course, for we have it on Mr. Newfield's authority that, long before the 1968 campaign got' under way, Senator Kennedy had become completely disillusioned with the labor movement and that "the final element of his new liberalism was his recognition that mO,st labor unions had become middle class and satisfied, and that the underclass must be reached in new ways." Mr. Newfield, who is also very disillusioned with the labor movement, goes on to say that "it is not good politics to attack union leaders, but Mr. Kennedy was not a tidy politician when his emotions got in the way." Serious Mistake Be that as it' may, those who share the Senator's and Mr. Newfield's low opinion of the labor movement will want to be careful, I should think, to keep their own emotions from getting in the way of their judgment when it comes to launching a coalition of working-class white people "against" the union Establishment. The results of the last election, as' chronicled by writers of widely divergent political views in the three books referred to above, would seem to suggest that the latter course of action might prove to be a very serious mistake on their part. For my own part, I think it would be a disastrous step in the wrong direction. The labor movement is admittedly open to serious criticism on a number of divergent counts -notably for its failure to solve the problem of racial discrimination in some (some, but by no means all) of its affiliated organizations. It's one thing, however, to criticize the labor movement severely. but construc-

tively with a view to correcting its many faults and imperfections, but quite another thing to launch a crusade "against" the ·movement on the grounds that it has become a hopelessly reactionary force in American society. This strikes me as being a very simplistic and dangerously doctrinaire approach to a very complicated problem. Perhaps it would be good psychotherapy for disillusioned middle and upper class' liberals who have never gotten their hands dirty in the field of labor-management relations, but it would dQ nothing at all to advance the interests of Negroes and working class whites. On the contrary, it would almost certainly prove to be very harmful to them in the long run. No Substitute Say what you will about the faults of organized labor, there is absolutely no substitute for a strong labor movement when it comes to representing the best interests of working people. It's precisely because they are convinced of this that Bayard Rustin, Dr. Abernathy, Mrs. Coretta King (the widow of Martin Luther King, Jr.), and a number of other Negro leaders in the Civil Rights movement are cooperating with organized labor to forge a new Iiberallabor-Negro alliance in a belated effort to organize hospital workers and other disadvantaged groups in the American labor force. This is a coalition "with" the labor movement, not "against" it. I strongly suspect that Senator Kennedy would be supporting it wholeheartedly if he were still alive. But what about the disaffected liberals who are posthumously quoting the Senator to confirm their own disillusionment with the labor movement? Will they be willing to swallow their pride and get behind the new coalition, or will they give it the cold shoulder on the grounds that they and they alone know what's best for the workingman? We shall see.

By Barbara Ward A study on race relations in Britain, "Colour and Citizenship," was published a few weeks ago by the Institute of Race Relations. It does more than dispel some of the myths about the migrant groups who have come to Britain from Asia and the Caribbean "acceptable." But the move to i'n the last 20 years - that skill, to a better house, to a subthey are lazy and promisc- urban school runs straight into uous and delinquent and liv*' the worst and most vicious ing off welfare whereas, on the contrary, they are in each category better behaved and more productive than the i r British counterparts. In fact, their presence and their willingness to work hard has helped to raise Britain's general standard of living. The report also gives some reason for hope t at racIal prejudice in Britain is not so widespread or so obsessive as some observers fear-and ~ome politi: dans seem to hope. Evidence collected by the research team who wrote the Report suggests that normore than 10 per cent of the population are rabid and irrational on the issue of race. Perhaps up to another 20 per cent might feel inclined to prejudice. But the fact remains that 70 to 80 per cent of the population accept the fact of new migrant communities in Britain and are prepared to adjust to the new situation with reasonable good will. Higher Among Young Moreover, this readiness is much higher among younger citizens-which gives hope for the future. It is also greater among those who actually work alongside the migrants. The deepest prejudices can wither before contact and cooperation man to man. Yet the report is indee~ one of deepening crisis and the reason is familiar. On the whole, the migrants came in to do the less well paid, unskilled jobs out of which British workers wanted to move. This is normal form in economic and social history. Migrants usually do come in almost literally "to' do the dirty work" and then, as they settle down, acquire more skills and better education, they fan out, according to capacity, into a wider range of employment. The tragedy and crisis in Britain today - as in America - is that while the educational standards of colored citizens are going up, the number able to go on to better jobs is not. Behveen 1961 and 1968, as the report makes clear, the number of British citizens in general moving into "white-color" jobs-office workers, clerks, skilled mechanics and so onhas gone up. But the number of such jobs going to colored workers has actually fallen. Here is the point of friction and future disaster. Skills and aspirations rise, but opportunities shrink. Familiar, Tragic Answer Why is this? The answer again is familiar but no less tragic. Prejudice, obstruction, difficulty all pile up at the first step away from the unskilled jobs. So long as the colored laborers work at the unskilled level, send their children to inner-city schools and live in the rundown housing from which white citizens have moved away. the situation is

minefield of prejudice and refusal. Again, the reason is well known. The report shows, with ample statistical evidence, that the really massively entrenched racial fears and prejudices are felt by skilled workers, small shopkeepers, owners of small homes, earnees of small, steady and fixed incomes, in a word, the first and second generation away from unskilled work, the first and second generation entries to that vast, almost all· embracing category of the modern middle-class. White citizens most susceptible to racial fears and hatreds, in a deep 'existential sense, are cut off from any ability to respond to the basic Christian command to love one's neighbor. But it should be said at once that the reason is not any particular brand of original sin. It is simply exposure to greater temptation and pressure.

The guidelines will suggest that a Family Life Education Committee be formed in each diocese to "establish a program of adult-education directed ·to parents; set up in-service training programs for aU teachers , and implement an effective program in the Catholic schools and Confra'~ernity classes." A committee already exists in the Newark archdiocese, the only state See in which a sex education program has been introduced. The experimental program has been operating in 20 schools for two years. It includes education of parents, in-service training of teachers and a curriculum in family living which began in grades six through eight. This year the curriculum is being expanded to include all grades. .

SAN' SALVADOR '(NC) - Following' the old adag~' "Practice, what 'yol;l preach," the Bishops uf El Salvador have announced the donation of Church-owned lands in 'the rural diocese of San 'Vicente for an- agrarian reform project, while calling on lar.gt' landuwners in this densely pop~Iated country to divide' their estates for the benefit of the hind.less peasants. ',The Bishops urgt:J the ranl!owners voluntarily 'to sell their lands now being worked' by tenants to poor farmers and to give up land not in production to increase the size of holdings of sma!) farmers, 'fht' bishops addrl!sst'd their appeal, for land c,onations in parii,cular to absentee landlords, many of whom are members of traditional land-owning families but who now manage EI Salvador's industries. About one per cent of the proprietors own more than half of the country's agricultural land. One of the problems that caused the recent, undeclared war between EI Salvador' and Honduras v,:as, the ~lIegal migration of Salvadorans into the un'occu'pied territories of Honduras. El Salvador has about 400 persons per square mile, a density 10 times greater than Honduras. Ari' uneasy truce brought about by the Organization of Americ;ln States now exists between the 'two Central American countries.

rollment decline which the nation's Catholic grade and secondary schools experienced in recent years shows signs of 路leveling in off in the 1969-70 school year. A decrease of about 400 schools was also predicted. Preliminary figures released by the research office show a Catholic school enrollment decrease this year of 156,000 pupils from the 5,016 enrolled a year ago with the most loss at the elementary level. The predicted drop-amounting to about three per cent - compares favorably with previous sharper decreases. The school year 1967-68 saw a drop of 236,000 pupils from the previous year's total and the drop in \1968-69 was still larger-259,OOO pupils. In the past two years, according to Mrs. Winifred R. Long, research director, "the Catholic school system, forced to a choice by steeply rising costs and crippling deficits, opted generally to 'sacrifice numbers and continue a sharp upgrading of quality. The result was a continued upgrading of teacher qualifications and of teachers' salaries and a continued lowering of class sizes, at the price of the first wholesale cuts in enrollment in the system's history."

Jesuit University Expands Campus Policy Plan
THE ANCHORThurs:, Sept. 11, 1969
Episcopal Church Delegates Back Viet Objectors SOUTH BEND (NC) S 0 m e 4 0 0 ,Episcopalian clergymen and lay members attending the i r church's special general convention here in Indiana marched to the center of their meeting hall to express support for two .American servicemen who, had left their units in protest against the war in Vietnam. The two servicemen, one of' whom was wounded in Vietnam were brought here from Hawaii by Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam, an interdenominational peace organization. ' Rev. Richard Fernandez, national director of the organization, told the convention the two were' seeking "moral sanctuary" with the Episcopal Church. ' 'Inhuman and Unjust' Bishop George Barrett of Rochester emphasized that "the objections of these young men on grounds of conscience is in conformity with ....long Christian tradition." Then, at the invitati~n of Rev. Mr. Fernandez, about 400 of the 1,000 delegates, including a number of bishops, stood 'and walked to the platform where the servicemen were standing. The two, Airman Louis' Parry of Mountain View, Calif., and Marine Corp. Louis Jones, of Charleston, S.C., had been secretly flown to Detroit a few days earlier. In Hawaii, they were among a group of'servicemen who have been in sanctuary' since August at Honolulu's Church 路of the Crossroads. "I can no longer take part in this inhuman and unjust war" ' sal'd Jones, who Iwas hospitalized in Hawaii afteri being wounded in Vietnam. He asked the church to uphold his i'Christian stand and help make I this a Christian nation again:' , ~ell Received Rev. Mr. Fernandez said after the dramatic show of s~pport from delegates, he was satisfied their plea for moral suppnrt had been well received. It was reportedly the first such a request ever made to a national church body. An FBI spokesman meanwhile said no requests had been re-' ceived from the military to pick up the two soldiers. Neither had as yet been absent from his unit for 30 days and thus they were not yet considered official deserters.
Biblical Associatoon Urges Due Proce搂$ EAST AURORA (NC) - The Biblical Association of has joined two other natIOnal Catholic groups in urging the U.S. Bishops to adopt "equitable procedures for due process." Father Louis F. Hartman, C. SS.R., executive secretary said a resolution adopted at it; 32nd annual meeting at St. John Vianney Seminary here in New Y.ork State, notes that the Biblical assoCiation. ."exists to promote sound Blbhcal scholarship" and this objective "cannot be attained unless Catholic theologians have guaranteed freedom to do research and, make public the results of their research." The resolution points out that the association "itself has experienced, in the past, the lack of such freedom." Cath~lic ~merJca

ST. LOUIS (NC) - St. Louis University has expanded its policy and procedure for dealing with dis-
ruption of university activities, Father Paul C. Reinert, S:J., president has announced. "The revisions clarify the kind of conduct the university will not tolerate and they afford greater flexibility in dealing with whatever situation might arise," Father Reinert noted. He said the revised directive incorporates some changes suggested by members of the executive committee of the University Council, which includes members of the administration, faculty and student body. The policy and procedure outline stresses that the university "is committed to its role as an academic institution in which a .EP.IS~O~ALlANS A.T WO~K AT NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY: More than 1,000 delegates from variety of ideas can be respon17 lur.'sdlctlons ",,!ere.
