Euiogist Lauds Msgr. ChQ~dS Monsignor Felix S. Childs, late pastor emeritus of the Sacred Heart Church, Fall River, was eulogized by Rev. Edward J. Burns, assistant at St. William's Church, Fal1 River, as "a priest and true churchman of God" ., ,~ a man of faith who was possessesd with a deep confidence in God." "To a turned on generation," Father Burns continued, "such phrases might be cast aside as being so much pious nonsense.

To a thinking person, they have rather immense significance.

Faith and trust in God-these are no bad concepts at all. For over 50 years, Msgr. Childs gave a quiet and dignified evidence of' his faith and trust in God. He was first and foremost a priest."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese o'llFall River-Thurs. Sept. 18, 1969

Blames Priests' Defections On lack of Human Maturity PHILADELPHIA (NC)-John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia blames a lack of "due human maturity" for many current defections from the priesthood. Speaking at a Mass opening the academic year at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in nearby Overbrook, "Obedience is 'not limited to the Cardinal reminded the a concurrence of judgment or to seminarians "due human a response to what you might maturity" is a quality called -consider reasonable. Your formafor by the Second Vatican Coun· cil in candidates for the priesthood.

He told the stiJdents superficial conformism and shallow intel· lectualism are no substitutes for the spirit of prayer and meditation which produce spiritual dE" velopment.

Current Fad The Cardinal advised the seminarians to remember the Council's description of maturity "stability of mind, ability to make weighty decisions and sound evaluations of men and events."

He asked the students to de· velop the virtues cited by the Council which "recommend a minister of Christ-sincerity of mind, a constant concern for justice, fidelity to one's promises, refinement in manners and modesty in speech coupled with charity."

He noted "it is a current fad to doubt and question even the most fundamental' principles and .norms." He said the fad has caused some to wonder whether the theological virtues of "faith, hope and charity have been dis· placed by doubt, despair and despise."

Governing Norms '''Some are so fascinated with change that they assume that 'everything is up for grabs'that there are no valid binding norms," the Cardinal commented.

"In a spirit of constructive dialogue and with a view of dis· pelling any doubts about the existence and application of certain norms," Cardinal Krol de· clared: "It is well to recall that no institution can exist or operate without nonns; that the Council clearly affirmed norms which must govern the process of priest· Iy formation; that such norms are not subject to arbitrary change, suspension or abrogation by bishops, administrators, teachers or students.

Referring to the decline in spiritual and disciplinary training which accompanied enroll· ment in the theological faculties of large universities by candi· dates for the priesthood in the pre-Reformation era, Cardinal Krol said: "Despite a modern attempt by some to return to the inadequate pre-Tridentine methods of pre· paring young men for the priest· hood, the Second Vatican Coun· cil strongly insisted that seminaries are necessary for priestly formation."

Calling for a pattern of seminary life "permeated with a desire for piety and silence and a careful concern for mutual help," the Cardinal stressed: "The seminary cannot be an arena of conflict or contestation."

Describing formation in obedi· ence and self-denial, Cardinal Krol emphasized:

Retains Residence OTTAWA (NC) - Archbishop Joseph Aurele Plourde of Ottawa will continue to occupy his 120year-old residence in midtown Ottawa, which is to be renovated at an estimated cost of $200,000.

The decision was announced in the wake of objections by some diocesan priests over the pro· posed purchase of a $130,000 house for an official residence.

tion in obedience must help you to reach the obedience revel of Our Lord who facing passion and death, said to His Father, 'Not my will, but thine be done!'"

Dignity of Priesthood Noting that "there is an _ex· cessive shifting of emphasis by some clergy who seek relevance and acceptability by a secular world," the CardiJlal observed: "At times, there is cause to . wonder whether some clergy are so busy doing what others can do that they neglect doing that which only they can and should so."

"The priest," Cardinal Krol dedared, "must represent, resound and radiate Christ. This simply cannot be done without a continuing intimate union with Christ ~, " * All of your efforts -intellectual, moral and physi-. cal-should be coordinated and subordinated to the single objec· tive of achieving a deep, intimate union with Christ and, through such union, to gail} a genuine appreciation of the meaning and the sublime dignity of the priest· hood'"

Schedule Hearings On School Closings AUGUSTA (NC)-Two public hearings are scheduled in October to discuss parochial school closings in Maine, according to· Rep. Louis C. Jalbert, Lewiston, chairman of legislative research subcommittee in the State House of Representatives.

The hearings will be held in Lewiston and in Bangor. Additional hearings may be held in other sections of the state where parochial school closings have affected public school systems.

Last June, six Catholic elementary schools in the Portland diocese closed and four others were consolidated into a single unit. Father Charles M. Murphy, diocesan director of education, who made the announcement last Spring, said the decisions were in line with recommendations made last year by a com· mittee on education.

Jalbert said his subcommittee met Sept. 4 with representatives of the Portland diocese "to discuss ground rules and programming'to study the problem." The subcommittee, Jalbert said, will be asked at its Sept. 25 meeting to consider expanding the study field to all private schools.

Status of Cardinal Remains Unchanged VIENNA (NC) - Franziskus Cardinal Koenig of Vienna said he sees no chance for an immediate change in the status of 77-year-old Joszef Cardinal Mindszenty of Esztergom, Hun.gary, who has been in asylum at the U.S. embassy in Buda· pest, the Hungarian capital, since 1956.

After meeting with Cardinal Mindszenty for four hours in Budapest, Cardinal Koenig said: "I see no change in Cardinal Mindszenty's situation, no new possibilities » * 0:0 I found the cardinal in good health and in good spirits, perfectly all right in every respect."

OUR LADY Of BREZJE: Siovenian Catholics of the U.S. will soon see realized their dream of a chapel in honor of Our Lady of Brezje in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conce~tion, Washington, D.C.

Diocesan F antily Life Directors Approve .Restatement of Sex Education Policy Catholic Diocesan Family Life Directors, meeting in Denver, have approved ~ restatement. of policy. regarding family life and sex education. They said! they fel~ their announcement was necessary "in light of 'the con~lJlsnon that has been generated by the present public controversy" regarding sex education nn schools.

(3) The church and school have cooperative and complimentary roles' to play by providing programs of adult education for parents and for the teaching staff, and by providing a systematic presentation of information within the school cur· riculum.

University Head Warns Students

THE ANCHOk-:Diocese of Fall River-Thurs..Sept. 18, 1969

'Churches in Concert' Program For Three Milwaukee Pariishes

NIAGARA FALLS (NC)-The president of Niagara University said he welcomes and encourages lawful student dissent on the university campus.

But Father Kenneth F. Slattery, C.M., warned that "gangster tactics" would neither be condoned or tolerated. He called them "alien to the lifestyle of any university."

Speaking to the faculty and student body Father Slattery said lawful demonstrations "may certainly be an effective way to achieve a better university."

"We must clearly distinguish between legitimate protest and violence which prevents the. uni~ versity from obtaining its objectives and thwarts individuals in the exercise of their rights,", he said.

Father Slattery also expressed concern that the nation's Catholic . colleges and universit~es may not long survive if governmental aid is not forthcoming.

"Now is the time for legislators and citizens alike to safeguard voluntary non-profit higher education in this state and in the nation," he declared.

Law 'School Head Calls For Condemnation of War

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-The dean of Boston College law school, charging the United States is waging an unjustifiable war in Vietnam, has called on all American Catholics to "shout from the housetops" the reasons why they condemn "such savagery." "I say America said one way to world peace is development of the should withdraw and that through poorer nations, Father Drinan it should guarantee asylum quoted a Vietnamese Bishop as

to all Vienamese who want to leave their nation because they fear reprisals," said Father Robert F. Drinan, S.J. "And America should make massive restitution for the devastation which it has brought to the people of Vietnam."

International Disorder Father Drinan, who spent 10 days in Vietnam last Spring as part of a study team on religious and political freedom, presented his views in a sermon 'at the 32nd annual Red Mass at St. Mary's church here in California.

The so-called Red Mass is held each year for Catholic lawyers.

The New England Jesuit said Catholics in the legal profession in America have failed to lend their "special competences" to the problem of fashioning "an entirely new attitude toward war."

He urged lawyers to re-think the Christian view of modern war and to re-assess what he termed the major non-military solutions to international disorder-assistance to underdeveloped countries, arms control and "world federalism."

CUes Annihilation Father Drinan said that although Vatican Council II neither ratified nor rejected the Church's traditional teaching on "a just war," the concept of such a war is being set aside by Catholic theologians because it is not applicable to modern warfare. He noted one of the basic requirements of a just war is "proportionality"-that the good to be achieved outweighed the evil to be done.

Help Poor Nmtlons "How in any modern war, be it nuclear or guerrilla, can the good achieved outweigh the countless innocent civilians killed, the devastation brought to crops and homes and the almost total annihilation brought to the land and to the culture on whose soil the war is waged?"

"Every modern war is almost inevitably genocidal,'; Father Drinan declared.

Noting that Pope Paul has

Cardinal Suggests Permanent Board VIENNA (NC) - Franziskus Cardinal Koenig of Vienna has suggested that a permanent board be established for the Synod of Bishops and that its members not be located in Rome.

In a television interview, the cardinal said that the board could advise the Pope when an urgent decision' must be made But he claimed that if its members were located in Rome they would soon lose their contact with the national bishops' conferences.

The secretariat of the bishops' synod, of which Bishop Ladislaw Rubin 3S the general secretary, is a permanent body.

Among the topics in a recently published resume of suggestions offered by various bishops' confere::lces for discussions in the coming synod was one asking that the conferences have a permanent relation with the synod, such as a bureau for permanent relations with the secretariat.

telling him the United States could do infinitely more to stop communism by spending the $30 billion it 'now spends on the war each year to bring food, medicine and education to the people of the land. "Who carl deny that this Catholic bishop is obviously correct,?"he asked. "Why then does not our nation under· stand?"

Father Drinan also charged the United States is unable or unwilling to give to the search for world arms control ,"the money, the genius and the organization" it gives to the military establishment, the space program, and even to urban problems.

The development of the poorer nations and an intensive search for new ways to make arms control more effective will be aided, Father Drinan believes through world federalism - a federation of 'nations joined together to promote the welfare of all and to restrict the power to wage wllr to one central body.

Massive Struggle '~Christians who dismiss this idea as a utopian dream do not appreciate the, divinely willed unity of all men and the solidarity of the family of nations," he said.

"Those who reject world federalism as unattainable have yielded to a distorted concept of original sin or to the fatalism of those without faith.

"No one pretends that world federalism will come without massive struggles. Not to work for it, however, is to permit our nation to continue in a cold war which Pius XII called a 'coexistence in terror,'" Father Drinan emphasized.

Council of Churches To Raise $500,000 INDIANAPOLIS (NC) - The policy making general board of the National Council of Churches has responded to the demands of the Black Manifesto with a promise to raise $500,000 from its member denominations for use by two black church-related organizations.

The extensive statement of response carefully avoided any mention of the idea of reparations. The Manifesto, presented to the board last May by James Forman, bases its demands for $3 billion on the idea that white churches and synagogues owe reparations to blacks for the evils perpetrated by slavery and subsequent racial discrimination.

The original $500 million demand was increased several months ago.

Neither Forman nor any representatives of the Black Economic Development Conference' which had common roots -with the Dlack Manifesto were present at the meeting here in Indiana.

Money allocated by the general board's action will go to the National Committee of Black Churchmen, an interdenominational organization whose mem,bership includes widely respected black leaders from predominantly white denominations as well as all-negro bodies and to the interreligious foundation for community organization.

Snuff It

Teaching .Machine A timely article in The New York Times went into much detail about a new era in education. It spoke of the Age of Technology overtaking education, with the classroom of the future an imposing array of television scteens, films, tape recordings and language laboratories. It introduced the reader to a "teaching machine"--a mechanical device which presents information and questions to the student. The machine has three windows-one giving the question, the second for the student's answer, the [third which presents~at the turn of a knob-the correct answer.

The Encyclopaedia Brittanica Films has announced that it is adapting the entire high school mathematics curriculum, a large share of college mathematics, and eight years of foreign-language study for machine instruction.

The basic reaction to this machine teaching is that it can not do what a teacher can do. The most important relationship in education is still' that of the student-teacher, the influence of mind upon mind, of personality upon personality, of character upon character. .

At the same time, the machine can be an invaluable tool in the school room by giving information, by providing facts, by giving the student the incentive of an immediate reward for a correct answer. The machine presents one item at a time and grows progressively more difficult in the material presented.

But let the advocates of the machine keep it in its place-as an information-giver, as a fact-provider. It cannot educate-for that can be done only by the working of mind upon mind, by the contact of person with person.

Fathers-Arise!

Most Rev. John J. Russell of Richmond once told delegates at a National Council of Catholic Charities that the growing secularization of society has made the home "not as sweet as it used to be." , The Bishop pointed up the growing' problems that this has brought about-especially the rule in the home byl the .children. "The children rule the house a.nd Christian modesty and decorum are outmoded. One shudders to think what sort of bedeviled beatniks the little darlings will grow up to be-reared to think of themselves first, mother second in the home, and dad at the bottom of the totem pole."

So downgraded has the father of the family been, that a group in New York City has been organized calling itself "Square Deal for Dads." Its purpose is to exert pressur~ on television producers so that their programs will show more respect for the father. The members are tired, they say, of being cast in the role of clown in what is the major educational influence on their children.

The collegians ask: 'What are we doing about urban decay, slums, inflation, political corruption and poverty?'

They realize, as much as any other age bracket, if not more, that the only verbiage circulating in the corridors of the Congress, is a lot of hot-air.

We have taught the modern

student to question, to seek out the facts and to become involved i~ our national life. But, they are scorned upon and rejected as infantile rabble rousers when they do attempt to put this ideal into action. We have rejected the multitude because of a few.

This cannot and 'will not go on for too many more years.

The first of a series of film festivals designed to acquaint CCD instructors and discussion leaders with the 16mm films available to them will be held from 1 to 5 Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21 at St. Francis Xavier parish center, Hyannis.

Showings of the films will be continuous and they will be. divided into categories suitaUle for elementary, high school and adult level. Instructors and leaders may choose between these categories or view films in both areas. _ Listings of the available films, along with summary evaluations and ordering information, will be available to those attending the festival. In addition, Mrs. Mary Fuller, Diocesan CCD president, will be on hand to assist and answer questions concerning the use of film media. Mrs. ,Fuller recently had an article on CCD teaching methods published in The Living Light, National Catechetical Review.

New Library More than 30 films. make up the newly-combined library of the CCD office and Mark IV presentations of La Salette Shrine, Attleboro. The CCD Film Festival offers a unique opportunity to preview these films and to make plans for th.eir use in CCD classes and discussion groups in the Fall sessions now beginning. There is no charge or registration for attendance at the Hyannis session, which will be repeated in !>ther sections of the Diocese in the near future.

Among those involved in the planning of the film session are Mrs. Mary Comtois, Coordinator of the CCD Cape Cod. Branch Office; Rev. Thomas Lopes and Rev.

Educator Opposes Complete State Help for Schools

Court.Voids Part Of Smut Law

PHILADELPHIA (NC)- The Philadelphia archdiocesan supernntendent of. schools does not believe Catholic schools should·ever seek 100 per cent support of their secular educational program through purchase of secular educational services by the state.

Msgr. Edward T. Hughes is programs are aided," he said.

"I do feel that there's an taking a somewhat differ- equalization formula needed. It ent stand from Rep. Martin will be difficult to workout, P. Mullen, c;tate legislator who has called for full underwriting by the state of secular subjects taught in non-public schools.

Need for Study "ThE're are some areas in the • curriculum which might not be appropriate for 100 per cent support even though they have a high degree of secular content," Msgr. Hughes said.

"For example, in social studies and literature, we might deliberately choose to incorporate Christian teaching as part of our program. Even now, some attempts are being made to inlegrate literature and social studies in an overall Christianhumanistic approach. Since we would be incorporating religious and moral teaching, we would not seek state support for such a program."

"I believe at present," Msgr.

Hughes said, "that our only legislative goal should be to make sure that adequate funding is available for the current reimbursable costs of education in the four secular subject areas and that there be some provision for more equitable distribution of funds to meet the basic min-' imum needs of children in nonpublic schools."

NoEng other subject areas in which the state might consider purchase of educational services, Msgr. Hughes declared:' "Before extension into other areas, there must be a study to insure that the proposals meet the spirit, intent and qualifications of the present legislation.

Majority View "Looking at the present legislation, I would feel that any proposed change would mean that the legislators are convinced of three things: "First, that there is a need for and benefit of inclusion of new subjects under the 'purchase of educational services' law; "Second, that the proposed subjects be truly secular in character; "Third, that the legislators would truly achieve the public education goal of the state."

Msgr. Hughes indicated' that language arts and skills might be a possible area for future expansion of present legislation.

Philadelphia's Catholic school superintendent said that he believed his opinion of not favoring 100 per cent s'tate aid is shared by a majority of Catholic educators in the state.

Equalization Formula "The principle of voluntarism is another reason I don't want complete state support," he asserted. "Our Catholic people should always be willing to sacrifice to support their schools.

What we want to do is to achieve a proper balance between voluntary support and substantial state aid. I don't think our people should push us to work for 100 per cent state support."

The priest said the "present bill is meeting a need and, if adequately funded, will meet needs of children and of the state, I do think, however, that provisions have to be written into the law to assure that children truly in need are aided before more advanced educational

"

but perhaps it could take the form of a certain minimum sum guaranteed per child before a further distribution of avaliablp funds would be made."

Full Compliance Msgr. Hughes referred to the fact that private schools enrolling three per cent of non-public school children received 25 per cent of the funds allotted through the purchase-of-service program.

"Another way to equalize distribution," he opined, "might be . to relate salaries to the mandated minimum required in public schools, rather than to distribute funds on the basis of much higher salary costs reported by some private schools."

"What we want to emphasize," Msgr. Hughes concluded, "is the need for very careful use of state funds. When any state funds come to us, we are very careful to· carry out the state's legislative purposes. We never ask for anything not clearly and demonstrably ours in view of the intent of tile legis0

Priests Say Church Image Damaged

Pastor Restores Student Masses ST. LOUIS (NC) - Father J. Raymond Derrig, S.J., new pastor of St. Francis Xavier church, which serves St. Louis University has announced liturgically liberal Masses popular with students and other parishioners will be resumed.

Father Derrig succeeds Father Louis J. Hanlon, S.J., who served as pastor for 10 years. Father Hanlon, who will remain as an associate pastor, banned the Masses some months ago, declaring they had become divisive among parishioners and were attracting parishioners from other parishes.

The Masses feature guitar music, new type hymns and other rituals which· have proven popular with students at Catholic colleges in various sections ·of the country.

Father Derrig's appointment was announced following a meeting between John Joseph Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis and Father Gerald R. Sheahan, . S.J., provincial of the Jesuits' Missouri province, with. archdiocean, provincial and university officials also present.

Father Sheahan, lauding Father Hanlon's 10-year pastorate, said: "During this period, his concern for the spiritual welfare of the university and the parishioners living within the territory of St. Francis Xavier has been out-' standing." He especially commended Father Hanlon's concern for the disadvantaged and said he now is in a position'to continue this work.

STAUNTON (NC)-Declaring a part of Virginia's obscenity law unconstitutional, the State Supreme Court overturned the obscenity conviction of a Norfolk magazine distributor.

Chief Justice John W. Eggleston, who wrote the opinion, said the defect did not automatically bring down the entire statute.

The case came before the court as a test on the appeal of Charles House from his conviction and $500 fine in Norfolk on a charge that he did "knowingly and unlawfully sell and commercially distribute and exhibit" obscene items.

At the trial Judge Linwood B. Tabb held, as did the' Supreme Court, that one part of the law was invalid. This was the section making possession in public of any obscene item prima facie evidence (sufficient to establish a fact unless disappro'ved) of a violation of the law. .

House conceded he delivered magazines to a store where a detective pUll'chased them, but House argued! that there was insufficient evidence submittea to show the magazines were obscene.

"We agree with the defendant that it was not sufficient," Eggleston said.

Damages His image On Mom's Night C)ut

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick Once a year, Marilyn and I switch articles because we feel our readers will benefit greatly from my forays into' the kitchen. Unfortunately this has not been my year. I have now decided that my future trips into' the kitchen will be limited to my specialHope still beats within our ties; frozen waffles, frozen breasts, however, and if our pizza, canned and packaged wandering builders ever do finsoups and an occasional ish our extension. we have all tuna fish sandwich foJ' the kids.

The other-night Marilyn had to do a fashion talk for one of the guilds so I decided to be a big help by cooking supper.

What could be easier !than fresh squash, fried rice and :fried fish?

I proceeded with the utmost confidence that if the meal didn't turn out to be a gourmet's de· light, it would at least: turn out to be palatable. Perish the thought!

- The fish was raw or burned, the summer squash so stringy that it was a chore to eat (how in the world can you make summer squash. stringy?), and the fried rice looked more like wallpaper paste than rice. ]n a word, the' garbage 'disposal ate the whole mess and we ended up with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Tarnished Image , A word of advice for the women: it is extremely important that the man of the family be allowed to keep his image intact in the eyes of his children, and nothing tarnishes that image more .than gross f.ailure. For t~o days after'. my' unfortunate meal .

My offer of a blender milk shake which is usually greeted with' shouts of joy, fell on deaf ears and I became resigned to the fact that the kitchen and I were not meant to be associates.

From now on, when Marilyn has something special'to do, she will either provide something] can put into the oven to heat up or' the kids and I will go out to eat. The latter really· appeals to me. By going out to eat the kids really think I. have done something· special and I avoid the whole business of cleaning up afterwards.

So women, when you cannot be home <;10 not let your husband get into the kitchen. Rather think about his image in the eyes of the children. and announce at breakfast that daddy has. a surprise for everyone: he will take them out to eat.

Sad Garden It's a sad thing to write about our garden at this time because it's a sad garden. The small plot that was our Mary garden a.t. this moment is,,a muddy swampland.

Coolness illl Heat I saw just the garden I wo'uld like on a recent house tour of colonial Newport. Designed by an interior decorator and his wife, it was set behind their pleasant colonial home on the waterfront of this historic city.

It was a' terribly hot day and although the toutlhad been quite delightful most of the. homes had been unbearably warm. Sudd!,!n.

Iy as we entered this yard a cool breeze swept us and an air of quiet settled over us. The clever designer had accomplished this atmosphere by his use of ferns and small shade trees. At one end of the narrow garden there was an' inviting looking cha'ise lounge and a small round table flanked by two chairs.

. Court Denver Schools Open a$ Scheduled, Utilizing Integration Plans DENVER (NC)-Approximate· Iy 90 per cent of the students involved in busing for integration were at their assigned schools the first week of the new term, despite thr.eats to boycott classes by. groups opposed. to integration. .

Following a court injunction to utilize integration plans which . the Denver School Board rescinded after two new members were elected, the schools were opened as scheduled.

While the legality o( rescinding integration plans is pending in court, the school board was faced with the' decision of whether to delay opening of school, and if not, which plan should be utilized.

At . a special meeting the seven-member . board voted unanimously to comply with the court order to integrate, at least until the matter was settled in court, in which case the students would be reassigned to their old. schools.

They were not unaware that the plaintiffs would ,then appeal the case to'the Supreme Court; which could mean another change-back to. the original plans of busing 3,000 students.

CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) No matter what changes society imposes upon it, the parish remains "always alive and indispensable" to the needs of its flock, Pope Paul VI has declared.

"It is true that modern society has changed greatly from what it once was," the Pope said in a talk at his Summer residence here.

"The parish must modify its activity according to the needs of the people. And it is also true that the parish cannot be the sole form of spiritual assistance to the people, either Chris~ian or secular," he said.

"But nevertheless we must recognize that the parish is an ecclesial body always alive and indispensable. It is the first organic and authoritized commu.nity of the diocesan church."

The Pope said the parish is "the school of the word of God, 'and the table of the Eucharistic bread. It is the house of fraternal love; it is the temple of communal prayer," The Pope exhorted: "Let us therefore strive to understand, to love, to encourage the life of our respective parishes,"

Maxi Tempting for Winter Despite Its Drawbacks

Thurs., Sept. 18, 1969

Four Changes In Hierarchy

<

By Marilyn Roderick "Would you like a maxi for your birthday?" asked my generous husband. I answered with a strong affirmative because even though I've been dying to splurge on one of the new long coats that are just perfect for the wintery days ahead, I didn't feel that Already college .girls and my household budget could young careerites are buying the stretch to include. this extra maxi raincoat for those splishcoat. But as a special present splash Autumn days. Personally

-well, that was another matter.

When my 10 year old clothes horse heard me mention getting a maxi she piped up that 'she would like one too. My answer to her was that one maxi would be enough to be sending to the cleaners, probably' weekly. While I love the thought of a long c(!at, I can't help but feel that they.' probably get awfully dirty as we' jump in and out .of cars, run up and down stairs and do the myriad other chores that modern women do in the short Span of one day.

Along with the fact that they are bound to be difficult to keep clean under the best circumstances is the sad truth that I'm an absolute slob when it comes to stepping in puddles, spilling the soup down my chest or falling prey to anyone of a 101 other mishaps. However, because I'm more fanciful than practical, I still plan to take' my husband up on that offer but I do promise to stay away from the white coats (that is, unless one strikes my fancy and then, knowing myself, caution will get thrown to the wind).

High Prices From all indications the young (and in my case the not so young) Qre taking the maxi coat to their hearts and the manufacturers are grinning all the way to the bank. Naturally, because there is more material in a iong coat the price is higher and it appears to be quite a bit higher.

Rejoicing with the manufacturers are the fabric houses. because more length means more fabric and thus more work. AII in all, !Paris did a great many people a favor when It decided to drop that. hemline.

Suggest School Idea For Feedi'ng Elderly WASHINGTON (NC) - The U. S. Commissioner on Aging has suggested that 'a me~hod similar to federally assisted school lunch ProgramS could be used to feed the 10 mil1ion aging Americans unable to feed themselves.

Commissioner. John B. Martin, told thE! Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, "obviously, these programs lllave demonstrated their worth. Few would now think of opposing them."

Martin, whose agency is part of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, did not estimate the cost of such a food program for the elderly, but recommended a thorough study of the possibility.

Programs to feed 20 million youngsters cost the federal government $623 million in the fiscal year 1969. Martin estimated the "vast majority of the country's 20 million persons 65 or older were living in poverty and did not eat properly."

I know what would happen just as I jumped over a puddleMissy's maxi make a-messy.

What I plan to look for when I venture out to claim my birthday gift is something in the more practical line, maybe black or at the very least mud brown.

However I know what will happen is that I'll fall madly in love with one in shocking pink or baby blue and the poor coat will spend more time in the cleaners than on my back.

Mini Maxis Fun they will be even if they do become dirt collectors and with an ankle length wrap to keep us warm we can laugh at old man Winter. For my part they'lI be perfect for yard duty on blustery days and just imagine how comfortable we'll be at chilly Fall football games.

I don't dare tell Meryl but many of the children's manufacturers are putting in line of mini maxis for the young set. these should drift into the market around the holidays. Mothers shouldn't frown on them too quickly because it will take a while for our beansprouts to outgrow them.

Well, this weekend I plan on shopping for the maxi and from the looks of the present situation my whole family is coming along. I really should bring a tape recorder along and record some of the comments for posterity; but what will probably happen is that I won't like any路 thing I see , Meryl will spot one in her size and I'll leave it up to the reader to guess who will will have warm ankles come November.

JEFFERSON CITY (NC)-The Missouri Catholic Conference has told Catholic school r.fficials and pastors throughout the state to be more aggressive in helping to insure that non-public school children participate equitably in programs funded by the federal government under the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The organization of the state's Catholic Bishops has been led to believe that children attending private schools, in Missouri are not receiving a fair share of ESEA benefits, that private school authorities are excluded from planning and operation of ESEA programs and that "inadequate or erroneous information" is being provided to private school authorities regarding Missouri laws.

Not Equal Partners But if Msgr: Fleming asked students to behave responsibly, he did not request they be docile. He urged student leaders to "conceive of constructive projects witl! great minds and great hearts," and not merely to reflect the "middle class morality they find it so easy to copy."

The university head said that although. faculty and students share responsibilities of the educative process. they are not equal partners because "students. by definition, are here to study and to learn under the directions of the faculty. I believe

Cardinal Cody Pays 'tribute to Senator

UNITED NATIONS (NC) Ireland has requested the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the "situation in Northern Ireland" as an "important and urgent" matter.

The memorandum accompanying the request that this new item be inscribed on the agenda notes that when the first major civil rights protest march took place in Londonderry in October.

1968, "the minority found new direction through the spontaneous weldin~ together of existing local minority protest groups. into, a broad-based, non-political and non-sectarian civil rights movement."

The, movement grew rapidly, according to the memorandum, due mainly to the justice of the civil ril!hts case, and the need to meet the increasing opposition, often violent, of "reactionary sectarian groups."

According to Ule request. submited by Ambass/l.dor J. J. Cremin, permanent representative of Ireland toth e UN. the events of August, 1969. were due to the slow pace of 'reform and the "equivocation of the authorities on the implementation of specific reforms which had been promised." as well as the frustations experienced by the minority."

The Irish government considers that the a~itation and violence in the North are "directly caused by the failure of the authorities concerned to grant the just demands of the minority over a lon~ period for equal treatment with the majority." .

Injustices, according to the Irish memorandum, include an undemocratic electoral system. especially at the local government level, unfair allocation of public housing and unfair employment practices.

Too Much Time Is Spent Listening to' Theologians IRVINGTON (NC)-American Catholics have an authority hang-up. That is the opinion of Father Bernard Haering, C.SS.R., noted German theologian who has been in this country giving retreats for nuns, priests and Protestants, lecturing and participating in ecumenical pro- Father Haering said the Church be spending too much time grams. Interviewed here be- may listening to theologians. "Perfore addressing a group of haps we should return to the

priests. of the Newark archdiocese, Father Haering, a frequent visitor to the U. S. since 1961, said "Catholics here are no longer as submissive as they once were."

"The faith is more vital here," he added. "You should not exag~erate the tensions this brings; they are only a part of the growing pains."

He said that he found that the principal question on the minds of American Catholics is the place of authority in the Church.

But he said he finds a certain ambivalence in the approach of young people to the question.

Stricter "Surveys have shown," he said, "that. in family matters they would be stricter than their parent.s. But this is not yet true in the fields of Church and civil authority. They are trying to discover the right concept of authority." .

One issue which makes this question critical for Americans, he said, is the way bishops ·are selected here. "In Germany," he noted, "priests have a long tradition of taking part in the selection of· bishops through their cathedral chapters.

"Here there is restlessness over the way the Pope names the bishops, particularly since one apostolic 'delegate ha~ been known to say that no bishop will be appointed without his approval."

Father Haering also finds that celibacy is a more pressing topic in America, as it is in the Netherlands.

Both documents are concerned with the pastoral care of "migrants," but it is clear that this term applies not only to people who leave their countries for economic or social reasons on a permanent basis, but also those who migrate even on a parttime basis, such as various workers within Europe; or Latin Americans who move to the United States to find income to support families left behind.

The first of these documents is a motu proprio (a document written by the Pope himself) entitled "Pastoralis Migratum."

The second is an instruction implementing the Pope's document issued by the Office of Migration, which is part of the Vatican's Congregation for Bishops.

menical prayer for daily use in this New Jersey community's public schools told the board they want more time to study the matter.

However, the clergymen-two priests and five ministers-endorsed the board's introduction of a moment of meditation at the beginning of each school day, an action board members hij,d approved pending composition of the praper.

The seven clergymen who serve congregations in this community issued a .two-sentence statement after a closed meeting.

It said that in addition ao studying the question of prayer further, the clergymen want "to consider finding ways in which to work with the Netcong Board of Education nn its concern for the religious welfare of the students."

This led to speculation that the clergymen. while wishing to encourage the board in its interest in classroom prayer, might have been illlfluenced by New Jersey and Morris County education officials, who have reacted unfavorably to the board's decision to restore prayer in schools despite the 1963 ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court against it.

There were also reports that the New Jersey Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and .MadalYn MUll'ray O'Hair, the woman who led the fight to abolish classroom prayers, were considering action against the Netcong board..

Alfred Toglllo, the school board member who introduced the con· troversial resolution, saw the prayer ban as "unpopular."

- "Someone had to get the ball rolling," he said. "It might as well be Netcong."

Christians Must Share Ladder of 'Success

THE ANCHOR-Dioces9 of Fall River-Thurs. Sept. 18, 1969

By Barbara Ward The recent report on race relations in Britain, "Colour and Citizenship," pinpoints one central social problem behind most forms of racial discrimination. White groups who are starting up the ladder to higher standards of housing, education and skill fear their prospects will be rungs for more people, the rEicitizen has to be ready blighted if black citizens sponsible for higher public spending, esshare the ladder. So they try pecially on education, training,

FLORENCE (NC) - Ermenegildo Cardinal Florit of Florence, whose archdiocese here has been rife with challenges to his authority, has cautioned that those who do not heed his pastoral teachings are "outside the Church."

In a sermon given during a Mass he concelebrated with four Servite priests at the Annunciation basilica, Cardinal Florit said: If we do not take heed to pastoral teachings and directives which the Pope sends to the dioceses, we are outside the Church."

to shove them off or even put a foot in their face. It must be repeated: i his fear, this vio-.,lence are not due to an over· dose of original sin. They spring from social pre s sur e s to which anyone might succumb, if faced with the same difficulties. This is why we all have to pray: lead us not into temptation, do not expose us to more pressure than we can endure.

Nor is the issue simply that of black versus white. Brown Malays and yellow Chinese have comparable problems in SouthEast Asia. So do brown Indians and black Africans in Guyana.

It is a profound human problem.

But this does not mean it can not tear societies apart and lead to horrors' on the scale of half a million people massacred in Indonesia because so many Communists were Chinese - or the six million Jews liquidated by the Nazis for no other reason than their race and the identifi- . cation of "Jewish finance" from bankers to pawnbrokerswith the bankruptcy and peridition of Germany's middle-class.

Any problem which comes to us with the blood of millions upon it cannot be left to "settle itself."

What To Do? So what can be done? Evidence from the British situation suggests there are two lines of aproach-to change the size of the ladder and also to change the reactions of the people on it. Christians are profoundly concerned with both approaches.

With the first, the social approach, they confront the problem as citizens and taxpayers.

The three points of pressureschools, houses and jobs-fall to some extent in the public domain. Education is largely provided by government. Housing for less wealthy citizens is largely provided by government.

Housing for less wealthy citi-. zens is either provided or subsidized by public authorities.

The final responsibility for maintaining high and stable employment rests with the State.

If, therefore, the ladder which enables people to move upwards to better housing, to better education, to more skilled jobs is going to become a larger and safer ladder, with room on its

Editor Resigns NEW YORK (NC) - Charles W. Carruth has resigned as editor of the Catholic News here.

He made no announcement of future plans. A native of Haleyville, Ala., Carruth has been associated with the Catholic paper for the past eight years. A convert to catholicism in 1958, he studied for two years with the Benedictine Fathers at Glastonbury Monastery, Hingham, Mass. and at St. Bernard abbey, Cullman, Alabama.

housing and urban services.

There are a lot of people in Britain who would say straight away they are simply not prepared to pay any more taxes in order to lessen racial pressures.

But, in fact, compared with a number of advanced countries in Europe, public expenditure in Britain is not excessively high.

It only takes about 45 per' cent of the gross national product. This compares with 46 per cent in Sweden and West Germany or 48 per cent in France.

By European standards of spending on welfare, housing and education, services, the British people could still somewhat increase their share in taxation.

Further Adjustments When one looks at how public money is spent in Brif'ain, further adjustments could clearly be made, The amount sp,ent on housing is 6.5 per cent of public expenditure, on health l,lnd welfare, 9. 5 per cent, and on education, 12 per cent. All of these are smaller than the troublesome 15.1 per cent spent on defense-a percentage which in- cludes Britain's perfectly useless arsenal of hydrogen bombs.

To provide more houses and better opportunities for all kinds of education may not be the whole answer to racial divisions.

But they do take some critical pressure off the white groups which feel most threatened by the advance of colored neighbors, and thus give the minority groups a greater chance for self-respect and progress.

The first challenge, therefore, for the Christian in Britain, as citizens and taxpayer, is to decide what he or she can do to persuade government to reduce military spending, to introduce some increase in taxes (for ex·ample, by heavier taxes on luxuries) and to devote the balance to programs which widen the opportunities of the groups now under strain.

No government is likely to make a new, concerted effort to reduce tension by creative but costly programs unless citizens show their readiness for such action and publicly, give a lead.

The test of Christian citizenship is precisely to let the voice of reason and fairness sound more clearly than the panic cries of hate and fright.

PrIvate SIde This is 'the public side of .Christian duty. There is also the private side. What do Christians tell their childen? What do the young people learn in their schools? The facts in Britain show that young people are the least prejudiced, the least likely to' make differences of race a bar to mutual human respect.

Cannot this innocence of vision be preserved by careful parental and educational support? If parents pass on to their children a sense of horror at racial discrimination and a sense of joy at the variety of God's creatures, the natural acceptance of youth can be reinforced. nut as Christian parents, do we in fact see this basic and human generosity as a touchstone of our faith?

Pope to Take Part In Consecration ROME (~C)-Pope Paul VI will take part in' the consecration of the new Ukrainian-rite church of Santa Sophia here on Sept. 28, climaxing a long campaign of' Josyf Cardinal Slipyj, exile.d archbishop of the Ukrainian-rite archdiocese of Lvov in the Soviet Union, to build a Ukrainian center in Rome.

Cardinal ... Slipyj has been residing in Rome since 1963.

The new church, which will have a cultural center of Ukrainian studies attached, is the result of contributions from Ukrainian-rite Catholics from all parts of the world. All the Ukrainian-rite bishops outside of communist-ruled eastern Europe are expected to take part in the consecration cermonies.

Cho rges Retreat On Segregation WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has charged the Nixon Administration with making a "major retreat" on school desegregation by changing enforcement methods and granting unneeeded delays.

The commission released. a 100-page study which claimed that school segregation "continues as a pattern and not the exception in education in many states."

"The new procedures and recent actions involving efforts to bring about school desegregation appear to be a major retreat in the struggle to achieve mean· ingful school desegregation," the commission said.

The commission chairman, Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, issued a personal statemerit criticizing new school desegregation policies of the Departments of Justice and of Health, Education and Welfare.

HEW Secretary Robert Finch and Attorney .General John Mitchell recently announced they were shifting emphasis from administrative enforcement through the cutting off of federal funds to recalcitrant school districts to the slower process of court action, Father Hesburgh said: "Court orders to desegregate have not generally been as effective a means ,~ ~, '" as administrative or proceedings backed by the threat of a fund cutoff."

The priest also criticized Finch for intervening in court orders for desegregation of Mississippi schools this Fall by asking that they be granted a threemonth delay.

He said that theologians are free to discuss their opinions in magazines and newspapers. "But we bishops have to reach the truth: not alll abstract and ethereal truth, but the Gospel ot Christ consigned to the authentic teachers."

The cardinal's statement was a reference to the latest activi· ties of the parishioners of Isolotto, who recently defied his authority by voting to continue outdoor Masses in the parish square.

BERLIN' (NC) - Communistruled East Germany apparently is backing the Catholic minority in -the Northern Ireland conflict although it is trying to avoid any emphasis on the religious aspects of the controversy.

Under the heading' "London Colonial Whip Reigns in North'ern Ireland," the organ of the Communist party in East Germany, Neues Deutschland' (New Germany), said the issue in the conflict is not at all the "officially and intentionally instigated religious quarrels," such as the British government, "its Northern Irish governors, and the monoplized press" would have everybody believe.

"Appalling Poverty" . Quoting a declaration issued by the executive committee of the Northern Irish Communist party, the editorial said the

causes for the existing tension is in the refusal by the govern~ ment to grant to. the entire Northern Irish population even the most elementary democratic rights and freedoms.

Neues Deutchland claims the British could maintain the regime in Northern Ireland only by force and discrimination and by "utilizing religious controversies in a manner such as to disguise its basic character of class-struggle and oppression".

The paper also pointed to the "appalling poverty" of the 500,000 Catholics in that country.

Sister of Mercy Is Pioneer Religious In Public School Administrative Post

By Patricia Francis

A Sister of Mercy is the new assistant director of the Non-English Speaking Program in the New Bedford public school system-possibly the first. religious to ever hold such an administrative post Sister Rosellen, R.S.M., taught a non-English speaking class last year and volunteered for a second year in the job, little expecting that she would end up helping to direct t h e - -.----'---"'-'1 After puzzling her way program. New director, inI through a class last year-Sister cidentally, is Joaquim Bap\ does not speak Portuguese-she tiste, a communicant of Our ' realizes the tremendous probLady of Fatima parish.

At the moment, Sister Roseellen admits that the positionwhile challenging-also is confusing, "Right now, we're working on setting up curricula," she said last week.

Currently, almost 700 young~ters are enrolled in the program, most of them recent immigrants from Portugal or the Portuguese islands.

There also are 25 teachers and 25 aides involved in transforming the youngsters into English speaking Americans.

The non-English speaking classes are scattered throughout the city, with pupils going to school in portable classrooms and in special classes in five school buldings.

Lack of Unity One of the big problems, Sister Rosellen has discovered so soon, is a lack of unity."

"I guess the plan isn't reallv unified. Maybe children in all the portables aren't getting exactly the same program," she explains.

Request Explanation Of Changin,g Church SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Confused by changes in the Church today? Perhaps you should visit your local sociologist.

You'll be in distinguished company. A growing number of bishops and Religious superiors are seeking out these professional students of social change to find out what's happening in the Church and why.

As a result, thousands of busy priests and Sisters now find themselves puzzling over lengthy questionnaires prepared' by. sociologists. Respondents are quizzed on subjects as diverse as the Trinity, civil rights and mother. are visible among us. Through these Christlike actions, we receive grace. This is what Christ intended.

The pri~stly activities of Msgr. Childs in his 50 years of serving the Master, have brought countless graces to many souls. His sacerdotal gestures have repeated those of Christ, and they have helped to make our prayers rise to heaven.

To sum up his long and faithful service to God, these words of Edgar Lee Masters Spoon River Anthology would seem appropriate: You were like a traveler who brings a box of sand / From the wastes about the pyramids / And makes them real Egypt real/You were a part of and related to a great past / And yet, you were so close to many of us.

All of us here commend to God the soul of Msgr. Childs.

Gathered around this altar of sacrifice, we renew Christ's supreme act of love for mankind. We pray today that Msgr.

Childs will be in everlasting friendship with Christ, the Eternal High Priest.

He also urged that the "sizeable self-help housing initiatives in the slums of our large cities in the developing world" be taken into account in. planning for housing development. He suggested that the committee consider pilot projects that would assist dwellers in slum areas and shanty towns to improve the housing they now have as an intermediate step.

SAN ANTONIO (NC) Archbishop Francis J. Furey of San Antonio, who recently completed a 25,OOO-mile· tour of U.S. Air Bases in the Far East, has termed the morale of U.S. fighting men" wonderful," and he reaffirmed their determination to "defend our way of life."

Archbishop Furey alluded to Vietnam in an address to the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women here. He said he referred to the trip because "we . are all engaged in Catholic ac· tion, and because we are all in· terested in what is going on in the Far East."

The archbishop recalled several incidents which occurred during the trip he made to the Far East on behalf of the Depart· ment of thEj Air Force. He called the _ incidents "good lessQns" which show that "no matter how great our own sacrifices may be, others are making greater sacrifices."

He told of visiting sick and wounded servicemen and said "their attitude was magnificent resignation to their situation."

Archbishop Furey said Amer· icans serving in the Far East are well informed about the probe lems there, and "they all want to get his war over with" because "nobody wants to fight, and nobody wants to stay there in Vietnam if he doesn't have fo.

.......... -... -~I Bristol County Grid Loop Looks Like Four-Club Race

A fumble, intercepted pass or penalty often turns the tide in key football contests. The 1969 Bristol County League football championship scramble, rated a four-team toss-up, is expected to be decided by one of the "breaks of the game." The genuine champion capitalizes on the man and Mark Bomback, halfback and quarterback respecmiscues of the opposition tively, and 220 pound tackle .while making few mistak~s Dale Silvia. itself. Thus it will be up to the pre-season favorites, Durfee High of Fall River, Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton, Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro and Attleboro High, to make their own "breaks" proving that they are worthy of the pennant.

Coach Don Montie's Durfee combine will get off to an early start next Saturday when it hosts Christopher Columbus High of Boston in a non-league encounter. With only three lettermen returning, the contest should prove a good barometer of the Red and Black's strength.

The returnees are brothers Her-

Ordinarily, a club with only three returning first stringers would be considered in the midst of a rebuilding year. But, Durfee is no ordinary team in the BCL. The school's size, along with past performance, make the Montlemen a club to be reckoned with any year.

A year ago, Coach Jim Lanagan's Coyle Warriors finished with a 4-2 league record, one game behind pacesetter, Durfee.

But, the Coylemen trounced the champs, 28-0. This time around the parochials appear to have all the "horses" to win it all.

Attl~boro Entrants Rate High The Warriors claim .two of the classiest backs in the circuit in Alan Rich and Mike Sunerson.

Rich, a 170-pound senior quarterback, possesses blazing speed and a strong throwing arm. A 10.1 sprinter, Rich can score from anywhere on the gridiron.

He is especially tough to stop when he rolls-out. With Sunerson in his backfield and Bob O'Connell operating out of the split end slot, Rich will be handling one of the most explosive offensive units in the loop.

Up front. where ball games are won or lost, Coach Lanagan will rely on big John Witowski to open gaping holes for his ball carriers. Lanagan's problem is to find personnel to com. plement this fine blocker. Barring injury to key starters, the BCL championship trophy for 1969 could fly from the flagpole mast at Coyle for the next year.

In the northern sector of the diocese, both Attleboro and Bishop Feehan are trying to reach mid-season form to insure their chances of a title.

Tackles Dave Doyle and RodI'ey O'Brien, Guard Maurice La

Roque and end Mark Grundy form the nucleus for Coach Paul O'Boy's front line. All experienced in Bristol County wars, the foursome should make the Feehan ground game function well. Robert'Thorpe and Stephen Izek will be touting the leather for the Shamrocks and, based on last season's performance, will be difficult to stop.

With this experie~ce returning, the Shamrocks should improve upon last year's 4-2 league record. The big Feehan question mark is defense. If the big Green can hold the opposition in tact, there is no question that Feehan will be in the thick of the race, possibly enroute to another football championship.

I

At Attleboro, Coach Jim Cassidy has Tom Hart, Steven DaPaolo, Greg Snyder and Scott Forget' returning for defensive duty. The offense lacks experience with only halfbacks Paul Silvia and Snyder in the fold.

If the defense can hold, and Coach Cassidy's youngsters develop rapidly, the Jewelers will be a very serious title contender.

Only Two Appear Out of Running The veteran Attleboro mentor t,lways has a few surprises up hIs sleeve. With competition so keen, one of Cassidy's surprises , may turn the league race into a four-way scramble.

In Dartmouth, Coach Charlie Connell is relying on quarterback Jim Bolton to move the Bishop Stang attack. Dave FiIi· pek and Art Driscoll must perform yeomen duty at the tackles.

Although not deep in returning lettermen, the Spartans are expected to be in the thick of every battle. A few breaks along the way could thrust the Connellmen into title contention.

Both Taunton High and New Bedford Vocational appear headed for a gloomy Fall. Coach Charlie Benoit of Taunton, with a very young club, probably

will suffer the pains of a rebuilding year. Depth and experience are the forces fighting Coach Jeff Riley at New Bedford Vocational. \ Although neither is a contender, the opposition better not take either lightly for, as in the past, BCL "underdogs" have delighted 'in upsetting any and all title plans.

Continuing a Diocesan-wide campaign to interest Catholic men in volunteering in parish Boy Scout programs, Paul V. Stevens, long-range planning chairman for Massasoit Council of the Boy Scouts, notes that Scouting offers advantages to participating adults as well as youths.

"If a person is gifted with a flair for leadership," says Stevens, "working with Scouts will give the satisfaction one gets when he does something he's qualified for by nature.

"On the other hand, if a person lacks the flair, but is intelligent enough'to learn leadership techniq\Jes, material available from Scout headquarters will aid in his development.

Jewish Congress Challenges Use Of Churches as Polling Places 'NEW YORK (NC)-The practice of using churches as polling places "effectively disenfranchises" many Orthodox Jews whose consciences do' not permit them to enter a Christian house of worship, according to a friend-of-the-court . brief submitted to the Second Curcuit Court of Appeals here by the American Jewish Congress.

The case was brought by Morris Berman, a New York resident, against the city's Board of Elections, Atty. Gen. Louis J. Lefkowitz, and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.

"An important constitutional question in the field of religious freedom is raised in this case," Leo Pfeffer, special counsel for the American Jewish Congress, said. He wrote the brief.

"For the first time," Pfeffer said, "a court will have to decide whether an Orthodox Jew loses his right .to vote because his conscience does not permit him to enter a Christian church in order to cast his ballot.

No Alternative Means "The American Jewish Congress opposes the use of sectarian premises for polling places in government elections as a violation of the principle of separation of church and state," Pfeffer continued. "As far as we know, New York City is the only place in the nation where churches are used for polling places.

"We think it high time for the legislature of New York to repeal the law allowing· this practice. In the meantime we will

Plan h15tC!lUation

continue' to fight this issue in the courts," Pfeffer said.

The brief notes that state election authorities refused to provide altenative means of voting for Berman, such as an absentee ballot or permission to cast his vote in a neighboring election district.

Adverse Decision "Perhaps the most reason· able explanation is simply that no provision for ca-ses such as appellant's was made in the statute, 'and the ~:.'thorities believed it to be beyci1d their power to vary from the statutory requirements," the brief says, add· ing: "While this rtrny explain the action (or inactio 1) of the election authorities, ~t cannot of course deprive tho appellant of his constitutional .gh~s."

The case-known as Berman vs. Board of Elections-is on appeal from a U.S. District Court decision adverse to Berman. A previous suit by Berman in the New York State courts was denied review by the U.S. Supreme Court on technical grounds.

Bans Baptism Rites In Clinics, Hospitals SANTIAGO (NC)-Fashionable baptismal ceremonies in private maternity clinics and hospitals have been banned by Raul Cardinal Silva Henriquez, S.D.B., at Santiago, who ordered parents and godparents to comply with Second Vatican Council directives on "community conscious" Baptisms.

This means that all baptismal ceremonies are to be held within the parish community and after adequate instruction of the adults, as ruled by the constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of 1963.

The move originated with parish priests acting through the pastoral council; it is also aimed at ending discriminatory PrQctices, by which the poor came to the parish and the rich stayed in the exclusive circle of private clinics or hospitals.
