Anti-Catholic Propaganda Doomed Tuition Credits

ELEANOR NORTON

Executive Suite Discrimination To Be Probed WASHINGTON (NC) - The head of the agency with primary federal responsibility for fighting discrimination in employment says she plans to investigate and attack "executive suite discrimination" against Catholics and Jews. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the first woman to head the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, discussed her plans for what appears to be the first major federal effort in this area in an interview with NC News at her Washington office. She said that while minorities and women are still struggling to be accepted in mi<\dle-level jobs, "Catholics and Jews have indeed been able to penetrate the work force . . . but there are particular industries where there are artificial cut-off points, nonnally at a fairly low middlemanagement level, for people who are not Anglo-Saxon Protestants." "You have not sunnounted discrimination in this country," she said, "unless you sunnount it in all the places where it exists, and mobility in the marketplace is very important." Turn to Page Two

How can a bill that has 50 cosponsors lose on the floor of the United States Senate? How can a bill be defeated by the most liberal Senate in history when more conservative Senates have passed it? What peculiar alchemy took place in the tuition tax measure that it used to lose in the House of Representatives and win in the Senate, and now it wins in the House of Representatives and loses in the Senate? The answer, of course, is that once tUition-tax-credit became close to being a reality, the public school lobby-fearful of what would happen if it had to face authentic quality competition and the anti-Catholic bigotry around the country rallied to support President Carter and Secretary Joseph Califano in violating the Democratic Party's pledge to do something to help parochial schools - - particularly the inner-city parochial schools which are mostly black. Who were the sponsors of the measures who voted against it? Quetin Burdick, D-N.D., Howard Cannon, D-Nev., Peter Domenici, R-N.M., Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, Jesse Helms, R-N.C., Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, Patrick Leahy, R-Vt., James McClure, R-Idaho, George McGovern, D-S.D., Jennings Randolph, D-W.Va., John Sparkman, D-Ala., Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and Milton Young, R-N.D. One wonders very much why they turned against Catholic schools after first agreeing to support aid to them. One also wonders about those senators who have always relied heavily on Catholic votes for election and who nonetheless went along with the anti-eatholic propaganda - Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., Adlai Stevenson, D-Il!., John Glenn, D-Qhio, Howard Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, and Donald Riegle, D-Mich.

1904-jQ7Q

Bishop'To Lead Trip to Italy In Jubilee Year The Rev. Ronald A. Tosti, Coordinator of the Jubilee Celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of Fall River, announced today final plans for a diocese trip to Rome scheduled for June 10-23 of 1979. The trip is a part of the diocese's celebration of its founding and an invitation is extended to all to participate. The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, D.D., Bishop of Fall River, who is planning to lead participimts to an audience with His Holiness, Pope John Paul I during the journey, has made the following statement: "It is indeed most fitting that, as part of our celebration, we travel to the city of Rome. Such a visit will afford a wonderful opportunity to pray at the tombs of the Apostles, Peter and Paul, and to renew our sentiments of loyalty to our Holy Father, the successor of St. Peter. The Eternal City, glorious in its history and in the witness of its martyrs, can only serve to increase our faith. Toward this good end, I cordially invite your partiTurn to Page Two

Anti-C,athol ic Continued from Page One I think Senators Stevenson and Kennedy are profoundly wrong. Bishops may not be able to deliver the vote on anything, but on the question of Catholic schools, you don't need bishops to deliver votes. All the empirical evidence I've seen suggests that in voting down Catholic school aid Stevenson especially, and even to some extent Kennedy, seriously endangered their political careers. They would not dare do such a thing to their black supporters or Hispanic supporters, their women supporters. They think they can get away doing it to their Catholic supporters, but I suspect they are profoundly mistaken. Far more Catholics than blacks in Illinois vote for Adlai Stevenson. Far more Catholics in Massachusetts vote for Senator Kennedy than do Harvard faculty members. Almost twice as many Catholics voted for Jimmy Carter as did blacks. Carter and Califano are in trouble and so is Stevenson and so, even though he doesn't know it, might even be Edward Kennedy. That Califano and Carter, as well as Stevenson and Kennedy, thought they could get away with it is the fault of the American Catholic hierarchy, which has shied away from mass pres-' sures and left lobbying to its staff lobbyists at the U.S. Cath-

olic Conference which, once again, seems to have brillianl:ly stolen defeat out of the jaws of victory. One can blame Stevenson and Kennedy for ignoring their Catholic constituents, but one must also blame the leadership of the Catholic constituency for ignoring the rules of how the American pluralistlic game should operate. It's high time for a change. Catholics who are angry at what has been done to them ought to write their senators in as strong as possible terms. They also ought to make it very clear to Senator Kennedy that if he doesn't change his tune on this issue he isn't going to get many Catholic votes if he ever decides to run for the presidency.

Discrimination Continued from Page One Mrs. Norton said she could not publicly single out industries for criticism because the EEOC charter prohibits the agency from naming industries until it has completed its research. But groups concerned with religious discrimination have frequently criticized the bankhg and legal professions and big business as represented by Lle Fortune 500 top <:ompanies.

Con~~ratulatio'ns

Mrs. Norton, a black who says she is "not religious" herself, credits her experience in "cosmopolitim" New York City for heightening her sensitivity to religious and ethnic discrimination. She was the city's human rights commissioner for several years. Mrs. Norton said she expects EEOC to take a closer look at executive suite discrimination after the first of the year. By then, she said, a large part of the agency's reorga~ization will be completed. Executive suite discrimination and the failure to accommodate an employee's religious needs are the major forms of religious discrimination in America today, Mrs. Norton said.

Pilgrimage Continued from Page One cipation in our Jubilee Celebration Trip." Arrangements have been made for the group to fly first to Milan for a brief stay and then on to the City of Venice. Pope St. Pius X, the founder of the Diocese of Fall River, was himself a native Venetian and, like two of his successors to the Papacy, Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul I, was patriarch of that See. Following a three day stay in Venice the City of St. Mark, the group will journey to the City of Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, after a brief stop at 'Padua.' In Florence there will be ample opportunity to see the treasures of Michelangelo

and of countless other artists who have influenced western art and culture. The Rome segment of the trip will include a papal audience and a special Mass at the tomb of Pope St. Pius X at St. Peter's Basilica. Bishop Cronin will be the principal concelebrant of this Mass. In addition, there will be a reception and banquet in Rome to mark the anniversary of the Diocese of Fall River. Brochures detailing the particulars of the trip will be available at all diocesan parishes. Reservations can be made through Rev. Ronald A. Tosti at 247 North Street, New Bedford (Telephone 997-7732), or through any travel agent. The proposed cost of the two week trip is $1149 per person, double occupancy. This includes round trip bus transportation from designated points in the diocese of Fall River to Logan Airport, round trip by air to Italy via Alitalia Airlines, meals in flight, first class and deluxe hotels with private bath, three dinners in Venice, continental breakfast daily, the reception and banquet in Rome, all sightseeing and excursions specified in the itinerary, professional tour directors and guides, all transfers and baggage handling, air conditioned motorcoaches in Italy and all taxes, tips and service charges. A $100 deposit will be required per person and reservations will be on a first come first served basis. Optional side trips will also be available.

Somosa Troops Attack School MANAGUA, Nicaragua (NC)National Guard troops raided the Salesian Fathers' high school in Masaya, allegedly searching for arms, threatened to kill several priests and two students, and caused extensive damage to the building in a shootout with rebels who came to defend the priests. The clergy of the Managua Archdiocese, in which Masaya is located, protested against this and other recent attacks by the Guard on church personnel. Father Uriel Molina of the Managua priests' council sent a detailed account of the incident to the Vatican. The government of Gen. Anastasio Somoza, whose family has been in power for more than four decades, had earlier expelled several misisonaries from the country and jailed hundreds of opposition leaders, including Catholic activists, in a drive to quell growing opposition to his mle. In the resulting violence, which has taken a high toll in death and destruction, priests, nuns and lay leaders have been manhandled or beaten. ...."'"..1111.."......111111'' .._10'''_ _......._,,"......'''.10.....'' 111......' -

Human Life Amendment Dear Editor: Since the Supreme Court's Wade and Bolton decisions, we have now witnessed the destruction of more than six million unborn human lives in the United States. Ironically, as Americans, we pay for Medicaid abortions with the very currency on which we print, "In God We Trust." Only a Human Life Amendment can adequately eliminate abortion-on-demand. The author of Psalm 139 wrote, "It was you who created my inmost self, and put me together in my mother's womb; for all these mysteries I thank you: for the wonder of myself, for the wonder of your works. You know me through and through, from having watched my bones take shape when I was being formed in secret, knitted

together in the limbo of the womb. You had scrutinized my every action, all were recorded in your book, my days listed and determined, even before the first of them occurred." The American conscience cannot rest until this slaughter ends. I write this letter in the hope of encouraging others to contribute in some way to pro-life efforts; there is much to be done, and few to do it. Jeff Grant Watchung, N.J.

Not A Sideshow Dear Editor: Thanks to TV coverage, most Americans are aware of what's happening in Nicaragua: That a people are saying they've had enough of the Somozas. Even Archbishop Miguel ObandoBravo and his Priests' Senate, in their call for transition government were, in effect, telling General Somoza to resign. Mr. Somoza is trying to convince the American public that when he goes, then comes Communism. Strange that neither the archbishop, his priests, nor

the many other sectors of Nicaragua society are all that worried. And they are the ones who will have to live with the outcome. What's happening in Central America is not a sideshow for us Americans to watch on our TV screens. What the administration wants will happen. Therefore I' would ask people to send Mr. Carter a simple oneliner: No more aid to General Somoza. Also, a 25c postage stamp will send a note to the archbishop (Apartado 2008, Nicaragua). He and his people need to know in a concrete way that we are thinking of them, and praying that they maintain their courage. Father Bernard' Survil Olean, N.Y. P.S. I was pastor in Cofradias, Nicaragua until I was denied re-admittance into that country in mid-May, 1978 as I returned from a vacation in the U.S. In July parishioners came to see me in Honduras to tell me to get back to the U.S. to tell the American people what's going on and what they can do to help.

Cross Too Heavy Without Christ VATICAN CI1Y (NC) - Pope John Paul I told the nun who gave him his pectoral crucifix that he wears the inexpensive gift "because it is simple and because the cross without Christ is too heavy to carry." Many bishops wear pectoral crosses encrusted in jewels and without the corpus, or representation of the crucified Christ. Mother Carla, provincial superior of the Sisters of Maria iBam~ bina, related the story of the gift and the pope's reaction. She said she had given the pope the simple metal crucifix when, as Cardinal Albino Luciani, he donated his ring and his expensive and historic pectoral cross to help orphans and the handicapped.

This survey, prepared by Massachusetts Citizens for Life, is not an endonement by The Anchor of any particular candidate, but is offered to help you cast· an informed ballot. As you look at it, you will realize that the final election or defeat of pro-life candidates in November will really be determined by the outcome of Tuesday's ,primary.

u. S.

Senate, House; Mass. Governor

Positions of candidates on the pro-life issue were compiled through roll call votes of incumbents and by responses to questionnaires sent by Massachusetts Citizens for life to non-incumbents. Three ''Yes'' responses indicate a consistent pro-life commitment by a candidate for restoring legal protection for the unborn -through (I) passage of a constitutional Human Ufe Amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court decisions legalizing abortion' on demand; (2) support for legislation to prohibit the use of tax funds for abortions; and (3) support for legislation to provide positive alternatives to abortion. y - Supports Pro-Life Position N - Opposes Pro-Ufe Position

Senate Cand idates Kathleen Sullivan Alioto (D): In spite of repeated requests, did not return MCFL survey. In a Boston Globe poll she stated her support for federally funded abortions. Edward Brooke (R): Has been a leading spokesman for tax-funded abortions and has led pro-abortion forces in the senate and in the conference committee which decides the final language on

THE BLANK FAMILY

M~SS.

WASHINGTON (NC) - An anti-gun control group has urged Catholics to boycott church collections and Catholic schools to protest the U.S. Catholic Conference's 'Support for gun control. The Citizen's Committee to Keep and Bear Arms, which is based in Washington state, urged Catholic gun owners to send collection money to Catholics for Christian Political Action - a lobbying group which among other things opposes gun control - based in Washington, D.C. The committee made its appeal in the August issue of its publication, Point Blank. The committee estimated that if one-fourth of the nation's 50 million Catholics divert an average contribution of a dollar a week of church collections, they can deprive the American Catholic Church of $650 million a year. "Gun-owning Catholic parents with children in Catholic paroclual schools could tell their pastor in polite but no uncertain terms that they're going to yank their kids out of those schools unless they're guaranteed that this anti-gun usec propaganda is kept out of the school curriculum," Point Blank said. A usee spokesman said the conference has received between 20 and 30 letters attacking its gun control position since the Point Blank article appeared. The USCC Committee on Social Development and World Peace, composed of bishops, Religious and laity, first backed gun control legislation in 1975. The committee reaffirmed its position in a major paper on crime earlier this year. The committee supports gun

registration, licensing of handgun owners and a ban on "Saturday night specials," inexpensive handguns. The committee's public affairs director, John Snyder, protested the committee stand in a letter to Bishop Thomas Kelly, the usec general secretary. Snyder said support for a ban on Saturday night specials amounted to discrimination against the poor. "It is those who are unable to afford expensive handguns who, in the legitimate defense of life, family and property against criminal aggression, have recourse to the one effective means available to them, that is, to the inexpensive handgun," Snyder said. The Point Blank article said it received no response from "high hat Kelly" but received an answer from "an anti-gun bureaucratic functionary Msgr. Francis J. Lally."
