WASHINGTON (NC) The American Bishops will consider some dramatic new proposals aimed at putting the Church more completely at the service of the poor and disadvantaged when they hold their five-day semi-annual meeting: of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops here in the nation's capital, starting next Monday.

One major agenda item for the gathering of 200 Bishops will be

a progress report on the United States Conference Task Force on Urban Problems. The bishops established the Task Force at their spring meeting in St. Louis last year to provide information and coordination for various diocesan agencies concerned with social action and the problems of the poor and minority groups, throughout the United States. , A variety of other concerns will range from seminary re-

The three-Father Geno ,Baroni, executive director of the Washington archdiocesan Office for Urban Affairs, Andrew Gallegos, member of the President's Council 'on Youth Opportunity and a representative of the Spanish-speaking community and Father Donald Clark of Detroit, president of the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus - will cite the

needs and aspirations of minority group members' and will suggest ways the Church might improve the traditional operation of its service organiiations in order to give fuller and more effective witness to its concern for the disadvantaged.

The Bishops will consider the creation of a Central Office for Black Catholicism. This idea originated with the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus whose leaders have complained about lack of meaningful contact between the black Catholic community and members of the hierarchy.

The country's hierarchy will consider guidelines, proposed by its Committee on Priestly For-

Services for' War Prisoners Nov. 9 In Richmond RICHMOND (NC) - The Most Rev. John J. Russell, bishop of the Virginia Diocese, has asked all pastors to designate Sunday, Nov. 9 as a day of prayer for peace and prisoners of war and to remember the duplex intention at all Masses in their parishes.

Mrs. James A. Mulligan, a member of the National League of Families of American Prisoners of War in Southeast Asia, stated that the state's representative in Washington sponsored 'the proposal for a prayer day.

A spokesman for the Office of Lay Activities for the Catholic Diocese of Richmond said that letters calling attention to the plight of the prisoners of war and urging support of the league's proposal have been received from William R. Bridgeford, Frederick J. Napolitano, president of the Star of the Sea Men's Club, and Mrs. Mary Barraco, publicity chairman of the Star of the Sea Home and School Association.

ment."

"As regards the use of the vernacular, the most normal case in the Mass of the people, it is for the episcopal conferences to fix the date on which the new ordo goes into effect, naturally taking into account the preparation of the texts as well as of the clergy and the people."

Such vernacular translations will have to be approved by the episcopal conferences and then confirmed by Rome before implementation. The translations should be one and the same for all the countries which use the same language.

It will be up to the episc'opal conferences to establish the date of obligatory use of the new rites in the vernacular and the new melodies for the vernacular texts.

It is for episcopal conferences to determine those parts of the Mass which the "Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani" leaves to their discretion: a) the actions and postures of the faithful during Mass; b) the gestures by which the altar and the Book of the Gos: pels are to be venerated; c) the sign of peace; d) the faculty of using only two readings in the Mass on Sundays and holydays of obligation; e) the faculty by which women may be allowed to read the biblical readings occuring before the Gospel.

tllation, for improvements for seminary training. If the guidelines are approved by the Conference and by the Vatican Congregation for C::;atholic Education, they will become the official 'policy in U. S. seminaries.

Proposed liturgical changes to be considered include new translations of the Ordinary of the Mass and new rites for baptism, marriage and funeral liturgies.

The translations were prepared in consultation with the International Committee on English in the Liturgy.

The Bishops will consider a statement on priestly celibacy which two committees-priestly Turn to Page Two

The bishops of the United States will ponder their problems for five days, issue a statement and go home. In this, they will be little different from the group of 'bishops who began such meetings exactly 50 years ago in what was then known as the National Catholic Welfare Council-later becoming the National Catholic Welfare Conference.

The vast difference, however, is the smooth-running, pell'mament operation that now works the year round with streamlined, efficient committees to advance the Church in the United States and tries to cope with its many problems.

"We see the need for contin-

ual updating in our own organzation," the leader of the permanent secretariat, Bishop Joseph L. Bernardin, explained. As the general secretary of the conference, he is aided by two priests in the Washington headquarters, Msgr. Francis T. Hurley and Father Edwin B. Neill.

"We have our officers, of course, with John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit as president.

Since our reorganization three years ago we have had a 40member administrative committee. The members of this committee will change next week.

Toledo Ordinary Notes Shackles In Gift Giving

Archbishop Tawil Apostol ic Exa rch Fo!' Melkite Rite

TOLEDO (NC) - Bishop John A. Donovan in straight; from· the· shoulder manner, has deplored attempts to shackle him in the distribution of gifts to various diocesan undertakings.

Making his observations at a time when the first' Diocesan Development Fund campaign is seeking $1 million for needs in the diocese which cannot be met by one or a group of parishes, the Toledo Bishop used the annual meeting of the Serra Club of the diocese to offer his views concerning the situation. He called for cooperation and leadership in families and neighborhoods throughout the diocese.

Then he said: "My own current experience leads me to wonder at times if our people understand clearly and accept completely the teachings of Christ. These days, I receive warnings from people who insist in effect that I can use their gifts to help these poor, but no other poor; that I can distribute ·their contributions to people of this color or race, but not to those of that color or race.

Criticism Amazing "I am frankly distressed by the overall picture, for I fear that there is an' unfortunate refusal among some Christians to accept unconditionally that the basic message of the Gospel is love.

"This is apparent, for instance, in the complaints of those who criticize the homilies or sermons of priests as being too repetitive -they speak too much and too frequently of love in the Christian life.

"It is amazing to me that such criticism is so freely and so confidently offered, despite the overwhelming evidence of the importance of this concept of love in the gospels as well as in the letters of St. John and St. Paul.

CredlbUlty Gap "Moreover, even when this message appears to be accepted without reservations, it soon develops in many instances that the concept of neighbor is restricted In a very un-Christian way."

Bishop Donovan recalled that the Second Vatican Council pointed out strikingly that "we are called upon to rejoice with those who rejoice, to weep with those who weep, to make ours the sorrows and joys of all men."

The Bishop appealed for closing a credibility gap between what religion asks and what actually is done and for ending all forms of racism.

Catholic University Honors Educator WASHINGTON (NC)-Father Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, has been selected to receive the Cardinal Gibbons Medal, highest award of the Catholic University of America.

The presentation is scheduled at the university's annual homecoming banquet here. Father Hesburgh was selected because "he lias spelled out what an educator ought to be, inside and outside the classroom," said Frank McQuade, chairman of the selection committee, who will make the presentation. , The medal is named in honor of James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, one of the nation's foremost religious leaders when the university was founded.

Catholic Divorced Women Organize To Help Selves EASTBAY (NC)-eatholic women Who have been divorced, in addition to being burdened with the material and psychological problems accompanying a marital breakup, also frequently feel cut off from the Church. In an effort to help those in such a preIy useful." Among the admonidicament and, if' possible, to tions, he pointed out that memprevent others from experi- bers should not attempt to play encing the same misery, a the role of qualified social workgroup of women, Catholic and divorced, calling them'selves the "Gems" has· been established here in this California community.

Purpose of the Gems...,.. acronym for Generosity, Empathy, Maturity, Service-:.is to "establish communication between divorced Catholic women through love, friendship and mutual understanding, in order that through their Christian approach to life, they, in turn, may enrich the lives of those around them."

It aims also to "bring. before civil and church officials the problems that beset divorced women and their children, and to appeal in a reasonable manner for change where it is possible and where it is needed."

Open Gems membership is open to all Catholic divorcees who are interested. It is possible for divorcednon-Catholic women to join the Gems, if they. feel that membership will help them live better Christian lives. They are warned, however, that since divorced Catholics who have been validly married are not allowed to remarry, the emphasis at the meetings is how to "live with it," not how to find another mate. . , Advice Gems is interracial in compo" sition, and a~.so has Jl Illrge proportion of older .women-an in-· dic,ation that many Catholic divotcees are not irresponsible yo~ng girls, unwilling to try to "make a go" of unfavorable or di~appointing marriages, but mature women who have prayerfully consi~ered alternatives.

In order to avoid pitfalls and learn how best to carry out this project, the odginal group of Gems invited Dr. George Clark . Brown, a Berkeley, Calif., psychiatrist and consultant for the Oakland diocesan Catholic Social Service office, to speak to them.

Dr. Brown outlined a list of "do's" and "don't's" which the members described as "extreme-

"Father Walter M.

Without those two elements," he stressed, "you simply do not have 'easy access to holy Scripture for aiL' " The Second Vatican Council decreed, Father Abbott noted, that the Bible should be put into the language of the people, with one translation acceptable to all faiths, because the bishops at the council believed the Scriptures should be in reach of everyone.

Churches Facing Tax on Proifts Of Businesses WASHINGTON (NC) The Senate Finance Committee has voted to tax the income of businesses operated by churches and other taxexempt organizations.

For the first time in history, the profits from so-called unrelated church businesses ranging from publishing houses to radio stations, from bakeries to restaurants, will be subject to taxesif Congress enacts in law the committee recommendation.

The change, which had the support of a number of church groups, including the National Council of Churches and the United States Catholic Conference, will increase government revenues by $20 million a year by" 1979.

Hits Others, Too Regular corporation tax rates of 48 per .cent will apply to the busines's prbfils~ from commercial ' activities of tax-exempt organizations including social clubs, fraternal societies and similar groups as well as churches.

In a related. move, the committee approved a provision. of the House-passed tax reform bill that would tax the advertising revenue from publications put out by some tax-exempt organi·zations.

Among those that would be taxed would be the Journal of the American Medical Association, Nation's Business, a magazine published by the U. S. €hamber of Commerce and the National Geographic, published by the National Geographic So. , ciety.

"Related" Inconie However, the committee agreed that the operation and maintenance of cemeteries, the conduct of charitable institutions and the sale of religious articles, should be treated as "related" business income of the church and would therefore not be subject to the tax on unrelated business income.

This same exemption would apply, according to a news release put out by the Senate Finance Committe, to the ,printing, distribution and sale of religious pamphlets, tracts, calendars, books and magazines with substantial religious content done in connection with a Church.

It is not known whether this would apply to religious newspapers. No specific mention of them was made.

Competency Need No man can be a competent legislator who does not add to an upright intention and a sound judgment a certain degree of knowledge of the subjects on which he is to legislate.

Pronuncio Says Task Unchanged OTTAWA (NC)-The apostolic prtmuncio to Canada, "OW that this country has established diplomatic .relations with the Vatican, foresees almost no change in his work.

Archbishop Emanuele Clarizio, who has been apostolic delegate in Canada prior to his promo· tion, made this observation in a statement issued here.

"There is question here more of an official recognition, by the civil authorities, of the normal activity already exercised by the representatives of the Holy Father in this country, and to which Canada has always accorded cordial cooperation," Archbishop Clarizio said.

He pointed out that Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, in announcing diplomatic relations with the Vatican, "purposeTAPING INTER EW: John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, pres- ly underlined the desire of his ident of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, is inter- government to participate in the viewed by Father Leo E.

Law Treatment Continued from Page One 'of many years on the bench, was ~itting as a juvenile court judge in San Jose when he reprimanded a 17-year-old MeXican-American boy for committing incest with his 15-year-old sister.

Judge Chargin told the boy:

~ccepting Change There are many ways of bringing about change. One, of course, is to put off change until a deadline approaches and then a "you have to" attitude prevails and everyone is "forced" to accept the change.

Perhaps the shock of past changes, especially in regards to the liturgy, has fallen into this. category.

There is a firmer way of bringing about change. And this is what Pope Paul is trying to introduce when he speaks of gradual implementation and of peaceful coexis' tence of the present and future liturgical rites.

As the instruction on the. new Mass, rite points out: "Careful catechesis is required before texts and rites of the new Ordo Missae are introduced. National liturgical institutes and diocesan liturgical commiSSIons will be',able to offer the means to achieve this end. This is necessary if clergy and faithful are to perceive and appreciate ~he spirit and purpose of reform."

There must be study and reading and listening a~d assimiliating so that the purpose and validity of the changes are completely understoc,>d.

Change, after all, is not done just for the purpose of change. It is being introduced to let the purposes of the liturgy shine tnrough more· clearly, to· give people- the greater benefit of the riches of the liturgy,,to serve as a better vehicle for the worship of God and the uplifting of the worshippers.

But there must be an ,understanding of all this. To accept something because it c~rries the approyal of Pope and bishops andexp~rts is all very well. But to-accept" it further because one has accepted and. un,derstood that it is better adds a much more firm dimension.--

"You are just an anima!. You are lower than an anima!." He added, "You are no particular good to anybody. We ought to send you out of the countrysend you back to Mexico, " " Q You ought to commit suicide.

That's what I think of people of this kind. You are lower than animals and haven't the right to live in organized society-just miserable, lousy, rotten people."

The judge's remarks have brought a torrent of protest from across the country.

"Is Not Qualified" Dr. Garcia stated that the U.S. Civil Rights Commission has ,sent letters of protest to President Nixon, U. S. Attorney General John Mitchell and California Gov. Ronald Reagan. There have been no replies to date.

The letters, signed by Howard A. Glickstein, of Washington, D. C., staff director of the ST. FRANCES XAVfER CABRINI U. - S. Commission on Civil FEAST-NOVEMBER 13 ~$@j*~:it;§fu~~l~§;:I:li~;H*J;~~~~~~li:l@~r:l:~W&;'&t.~~'W;~~~~~~~::;_W:l:::::·~~;W:J::ll~if~~ Rights, pointed out that the judge's remarks were interpreted by the boy's attorney as "indicating the whole Mexican-American group."

Dr. Garcia has asked the Texas community "for your understanding and help." He declared that Judge Chargin "is not qualified to be a justice and to try anyone, much less minors."

"In his statement, Judge Chargin classified Mexican people as animals," Dr. Garcia asserted.

Rev. John F. Moore, B.A., M.A., M.Ed. "He expressed the beliefs of HitSS. {'eter & Paul, Fall River ler (genocide). He, is adyocating the killing of MexiCans." ,

COLUMBUS (NC) - HispanicAmericans, the nation's second largest ethnic mirlority, convinced that many of their felIowcountrymen regard them. as second class citizens, will mount a relentless campaign to gain their rights. .'

That, in substance, was· the message of the first Ohio Spanish-speaking grievance conference, held at Bishop Hartley high school here.

In the keynote address of Dr. Jorge Lara Braud of Austin, Tex., and in comments at some of the seven workshops, credit was given to the Negro community for making the nation aware of neglected minority problems.

And the goals and demands of the Spanish-speaking at the con~ ference strongly resemb.lcd th'ose of the black community.

Seeking recognition of their need for distinctive cultural expression and self-determination, many conference participants challenged the Church 'not only. to become their champion, but to make restitution for what they regard as a history of neglect.

"Hispanic-Americans genuinely rejoice in the Church's overdue attention to the plight of black Americans," Dr. Lara Braud said. in his address.

VATICAN CITY (NC) -Pope Paul VI, saying that he spoke in the name of "milliohs and millions of human beings who watch with anxious expectation," has given thanks and encouragement to cancer researchers.

The Pope spoke to participants in the national congress of the Italian Society of Pathology, which met in Rome to discuss "The Biology of the Neoplastic Cell."

After repeating the Church's constant theme that science and religion are far from incompatible, Pope Paul turned to the congress's discussion of cancer.

"We thank you for these efforts of yours in a sector where the attempts already undertaken are innumerable yet insufficient before the complextity of the problem and before the extreme difficulty of a definitive' solution."

"In saying thanks to you, we feel we are speaking for' millions and millions of human beings who. watch with anxious waiting all who, like you, are striving to relieve humanity of the enormous suffering, this ' scourge brings."

Saying that he prayed for their work and blessed it, he added: "We also ask for each of you the 'patience and the perseverence to proceed along, a road thorny with difficulties and, unfortunately, not lacking in disappointments." "

Tax Exempt:ions

Organise Forces For Controversy 'On School Aid NEWARK (NC) - Battle lines are starting to form for an expected fight later this year and next over aid I

to 'j5rivateschools.

Citizens for Educational Freedom has beefed up its membership, particularly in urban northern New Jersey, where two chapters' of Americans United for Separation of Church and State have formed. Americans United leaders said they organized specifically to combat efforts being made to enact scnool , aid measures.

CEF has been organized in New Jersey for almost a decade but was unable to exert much clout until three years ago when, in league with the Bergen' County. Catholic Educational Association, it was successful in pushing through fair busing leg· islation.

Recently the non-denominational CEF tapped Gerard Donohue, a founder of the Bergen County group, as executive secretary and it has b~en on the move since.

Book Loan Bill In addition, the succ,ess of the Bergen County association has spurred similar movements in Union ,and Hudson Counties. In both cases, the impetus came partially from the realization that school aid proposals now have a chance in the legislature.

For the past couple of years a book ,loan ,bill has been -introduced ; in, the . State Assembly without making much progress. .This 'year, Assemblyman Richard Vander Platt of Bergen County introduced a bill to include private school students in the state aid formula and this could mean $100 or: more per, pupil, with payments going to parents.

While the bill still rests in the Assembly education committee, a push to bring it to the floor is being readied for November, when the legislature reconvenes after the elections. With this in mind, some of the county educational groups are organizing a caravan to demonstrate in Trenton, the state capital, on behalf of the bill.

Public Hearings Support for the bill appears to be widespread in the Assembly, where the fair busing. bill also originated. Polls taken among candidates for the Assembly by the Advocate, newspaper of the Newark archdiocese, and the Newark Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Men, show more sentiment for the bill than expected.

Of 38 candidates replying to an Advocate questionnaire, for. instance, only one indicated that he was definitely opposed to assisting private schools. However, the 38 replies respresent about 50 per cent of those standing for election and it is considered possible that most of those who ignored the questionnaire are against private school aid.

Whether or not the Assembly' acts on either the Vander Platt bill or the book loan measure or both, it is considered unlikely that the Senate will act without holding public hearings. This is what happened in the case of ~he bus bill, which was substantially altered without destroying the underlying, concept.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The churches have gained the 'support of 37 states in their battle ,to retain tax exemptions, an issue facing a Supreme Court decision.

The ,states have filed a friend of the court brief in the Supreme Court through Atty. Gen. Louis J. Lefkowitz of New York.

"The compelling public purpose served by religious organizations is constitutionally sufficient to warrant tax exemption," Lefkowitz declares in his brief.

The 36 states joining New York are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi.

Also Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, ,New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pen,nsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

There has been no explanation why attorneys general of the 13 other states did not join in the presentation.

Newark Program Needs Volunteers NEWARK (NC)-The need to recruit more lay volunteers for special Summer programs in parishes 'in this city was cited in a report made to the Newark Priests Association by one of the program' coordinators. , The report was prepared on the basis of evaluations' submitted by volunteer personnel, Sisters, seminarians and lay people,' who worked in nine par'ishes this Summer. ," " . Father James 'P: McM~rius'of Queen of Angels Church said that the number of volunteers has declined steadily since the program was introduced several years ago. He noted that while 200 nuns were engaged in -the program at one time, only 35 participated this year.· Their numbers were augmented by 19 seminarians.

Father McManus said, however, that, volunteers gave' a more favorable rating to the program than in previous years.

The program, inaugurated by a group of Sisters, was run on a coordinated basis for the first time this Summer, with a threeman board responsible for it.

Catholic Youth j ,Meeting Nov. 20 1

'

Emile Cardinal Leger return.ed here from his Third l World mission post to accept a $50,000 award for his life of humanitarianism and' to take part in a banquet featuring roast squab and vintage wine.

When the dinner was over, the cardinal told the guests that more than "150,000,000 people have worms in their intestines."

He spoke about the millions of persons with hollow eyes and swollen bellies who peer at the North American banquet table.

To leave these people "in a state of frustration during the next 30 years is sure to provoke a catastrophe on a global scale," Cardinal Leger warned.

The dilemma will not be resolved, he said, "by exporting in a simple-minded way, a form of civilization called the 'American way of life..' " The Church, he explained, could only do so much. outlining the nature of the moral and intellectual climate in which man could develop.

"But she has not received the mission of building 0) 0) 0) the city of tomorrow," Cardinal Leger said.

Cry for Help "She does not ask her ministers to undertake the direction of a center comparable to that (of Mission Control) in Houston," he said in reference to the recent moon flight. "But she does have the duty to remind all men'that the gigantic enterprise of developing the Third World will never get off' the ground if selfishness continues to build walls between peoples.

"It is within this context that my vocation to life in the Third World must be understood," he continued. "I certainly did not go there to teach men how to achieve success in an economic or technical way.

"It is a cry for help that I raise, one which is directed toward young people 0) 0) 0) my cry for help goes out to the young because the road to be travelled is long, and the obstacles along the way are many and difficult," Five Realities But first, he pointed out, the· barricades within each person must be dismantled.

"Let us not forget that many of these have been erected by .the greed of the white man of the West: slavery, colonialism, apartheid, the desire for profit and over-weening conceit in the color of our skin," Cardinal Leger said.

He listed five "realities" which must be confronted: poverty, hunger, sickness, the population explosion, and the inability to develop resources as the population booms.

Poverty is so extreme, he said. that 2,000,000,000 people have per capita incomes of less than $200 a year. Three out of every four persons are ravenous while Canada sits on a huge wheat surplus, he continued.

The $50,000 humanitarian award was presented to Cardinal Leger by the Royal Bank. The prelate said the money will serve his Third World mission. He will keep, a gold medal, also awarded, for himself.

Cardinal Leger forsook his Canadian _ bishopric several months ago to work among African lepers.

The press had to present their meeting from as many sensational viewpoints as possible. and it did, usually quoting only the extremists of the group."

Their· greatest strength, according to Father Hill, is "the strength of the idea that inspires them, namely, the possibility of new life for the Church, the possibility of this development being influenced by the concept of democracy."

Father Hill said the 250,000 priests living in Europe make up 59 per cent of the priests of the world.

"The vast majority of these men want to remain in a position of collaboration with their bishops and respect for them," he said. "The European Assembly of Priests needs the support of these priests if it is going to be able to say that it represents any interests other than its own.

The support of these other priests is imperative, but it is questionable whether or not the European Assembly of Priests has obtained this support through its meeting. I don't think it did."

BALTIMORE (NC) - The federal government has approved a $3.5 million loan for a Baltimore archdiocesan - sponsored apartment house for the aged, according to Francis X. Gallagher, archdiocesan attorney.

The announcement climaxed a one-and-a-half year wait for government financing of the project, which has been under consideration since 1964.

The FHA insured loan is under section 236 of the National Housing Act administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. .

The total cost is $3,542,000, all of which is government financed.

The IS-story apartment building, located one block from the Basilica of the Assumption, has been named Basilica Towers.

Of the 240 units in the building, 168 will be efficiency apartments and 72 will be one-bedroom apartments. Exact age and 'income requirements of tenants have not been determined.

Is National Liberation Front Red? Leader's Broadcast Gives Clue SAIGON (NC)-Supporters of the National Liberation Front of Vietnam who maintain in Europe and America that the front is not communist, should have heard the front's No. 2 leader in a recent broadcast over Liberation Radio.

Liberation Radio is the clandestine voice of the front broadcating from the jungles near the Cambodian border. The vice chairman of the front's central committee used it to salute the 20th national day of the Chinese People's Republic.

In his broadcast, monitored here, Dr. Phung Van Cung, who said he represented 14 million Southern compatriots, the National Liberation Front Central Committee and the Republic of South Vietnam's Provisional Revolutionary Government, sincerely thanked the "glorious Chinese Communist party,' the Chinese People's Republic government headed by the beloved and venerated Chairman Mao, and the 700 million brotherly - Chinese people for their wholehearted assistance and great and valuable support for our people's anti-U. S. national salvation struggle."

The broadcast originated at the Front's "large conference hal!." It did not say where the hall is located. Attending the meeting were "delegates from political parties, organizations affiliated with the Front and the People's Liberation Armed Forces and more than 1,000 representatives of the compatriots and combatants of the base area."

Cung, in addition to being vice-chairman of the NLF Central Committee Presidium, is vice-president of the Provisional Revolutionary Government. He is a native of Ving Long in the Mekong Delta.

According to a biographical sketch broadcast by Liberation Radio' last June he is a former "high-ranking civil servant of the Ngo Dinh Diem administration" who opposed "the U. S.Diemist policy of using intellectuals in the repression of the People's Patriotic Movement."

In 1960 "he and his family joined- the liberated areas," that is, he fled to Viet Cong-controlled territory.

'Forces LovIng Peace' Speaking of the Russian Revolution of October 1917 and the Chinese Revolution of October 1949, Cung said they were "of very great 'international significance, shifting the balance of power completely toward the socialist camp and the forces loving peace, independence and dem9cracy all over the world.

"It was also a great success of a correct revolutionary line and of the creative application of

Marxism-Leninism and Mao Tse Tung's thoughts in socialist construction and in the great proletarian' cultural revolution in China whose population is equal to one-fourth of mankind."

Dr. Cung continued with praise for the Chinese people, "who under the clear-sighted leadership of the glorious Communist party headed by the beloved and venerated President Mao-Tse Tung," have turned China from a poor backward nation into a powerful Socialist country.

He continued, according to the monitored broadcast, to applaud the "increasingly close and unshakeable Vietnamese-Chinese' militant solidarity which President Ho and Chairman Mao have striven to promote and strength-en:'

Announces Plans To Reform NCC BOSTON (NC) - A group of younger, Protestant churchmen, loosely organized into a movement they ,call Jonathan's Wake, plans to "try to reform" the National Council of Churches.

The Rev. Stephen Rose of Stockbridge, Mass., writer and former editor of the Protestant publication, Renewal, told a session of the United Methodist Board of Missions annual meeting here that the Jonathan's Wake group plans to seek to place a' black executive at the head of the NCC. The move, he said, was not directed personally against the Rev. Dr. R.H. Edwin Espey, present NCC general secretary, but was part of a larger effort to "reform and renew" the churches., Mr. Rose said the group of younger generation churchmenblack and white-would work through delegates to the interdenominational organization's general assembly, slated for Detroit in December.

An ordained United Presbyterian clergyman, Mr. Rose, is known in Protestant circles for his criticism of traditional church structures and programs and for his advocacy of church renewal ventures.

He warned the meeting that "a process of dangerous polarization" is taking: place in the churches. That, he said, can be arrested only by "genuine renewal at the local leve!."

Different Views Survey of ,Students, Parents Reveals Some Su rprises , MILWAUKEE (NC) - What parents think about certain issues and what their high schoolage children think often serve to highlight amusingly different world views. Sometimes though, both groups hold opinions which are reassuringly similar.

When sophomores at Don Bosco high school and their parents recently completed some surveys here, they see-sawed between identity and diversity of view.

Three-fifths of the students and an equal number' of their parents agreed that students should be allowed to have a job.

They generally felt the student should have a 10-20 hour work week. Most parents t!lought a. student with low路 grades should not work, but 40 per cent of the Examines Graduate .students disagreed.

was given." Those who gave a specific amount of time felt that one to one and one-half hours a night was adequate study time (although they only made up 40 pel: cent of the students surveyed).

Parents and students 'agreed that if a student does not work to capacity at school, it is his own fault. But 28 per cent of the students also felt the teachers would be at fault in this situation. Instead, 15 per cent of them felt that the student's failure would be the parent's fault.

civil parish (county) administration has been taken here by the department of education of the Lafayette diocese here in Louisiana.

Coordinators who were appointed last year in civil parishes of the diocese where there are Catholic schools have established committees to aid them in their responsibilities.

Msgr. Richard Mouton, diocesan superintendent, said the coordinators will serve as liaison persons between the civil parish and the diocesan school board to aid Catholic school principals in solving prob~ems and developing programs.

Strengthen System Mindful of the role of the county public school boards, Msgr. Mouton said the restructuring recognizes that the public school boards make certain decisions which affect Catholic schools in their respective counties.

Since schools are controlled locally, a civil parish structure should be a basic unit, or at least a part of the division of the diocesan system, he said. The committees established by the coordinators are a step in this direction, Msgr. Mouton noted.

"I believe it will generally strengthen our diocesan school system," Msgr. Mouton said, "to have representation on the local level who can speak for and give immediate direction to the local Catholic schools."

AdminIstrative Advisors The new committees will comprise three or four Catholic school personnel, primarily principals, who will advise the coordinator on administrative, academic and religious affairs of the Catholic schools in the respective counties, Msgr. Mouton pointed out.

His, coverage of religious news is consistently well informed, care ~lly nuanced, and thoroughly obJective.

He is, first and foremost, a disinterested reporter, not a protangonist riding a hobbyhorse, nor a self"appointed, holier-thanthou reformer. In other words, he is a real professional in the best sense of the word.

Mr. MacKaye's coverage of the recent Synod of Bishops in Rome is a pertinent case in point. H~V­ ing been in Rome myself durmg the Synod and having followed its proceedings very carefully, I would say that MacKaye hand~ed his Romani assignment witl1 dis. .. tinction.' , ' ~.

Unfortunately, however, I can't say as much for the supercilious pundit who wrote the highly cynical and rather smartaleck round~up editorial on the' Synod .in the Oct. 28 issue of the Post.

C~tholic With Gripes Traditionally, of course, edi·· torial writers have always basked in anonymity. There wouldn't be any point, then, in trying to identify the . a uthor of this particular editorial.

For my own part, however, I would be willing to give substantial odds that he is a Catholic who has a number of gripes against the so-called institutional Church and never misses an, opportunity to get them off his chest. , . .

That's fair enough, but it doesn't necessarily make for objective reporting or editorializing.

The gist of_ the editorial in question is that the Synod was predictably a great disappointment because it said nothing about birth control or celibacy and because it dldri';t replace "papal rule" with "democratic rule."

"As a try at patching up Catholicism's authority crisis," the editorial remarks, "the synod has possibly done more to expose it. The world's bishops can say what they think-as a few of the more courageous are doing these days-but, as Pa'til reminded them, the Church cannot be 'changed at will' and that 'authority directs it.' .

Cyniccl -Editorial "As the conservatives know and the liberals lament," the editorial concludes, "the synod was only a consultative body, with no decisional powers. No matter what the synod' fathers advise, beg or recommend, it i~. still the Pope who decides policy.

I seriously doubt that more than a handful of the major reporters who covered the Synod on the spot in Rome go along with this highly 'opinionated and deeply cyniCal editorial.

To be sure, many of the re.porters in question-perhaps t.he majority - went to Rome with very limited expectations and were prepared to report, in the end, that the Synod had turned out to be much ado about noth, ing.

Turning Point Within a matter of days, however, they began to realize that their initial pessimism was largely unfounded and that the Synod would almost certainly turn out to be, in fact"a remarkably significant' turning' point in the history of the Church.

Incidentally this sudden change of mood in the press corps - a change which was, clearly reflected in most of the dispatches coming out of Rome during the course of the Synod-was commented upon" by the reporters themselves whenever they got together over a· plate of spaghetti and a, ,bottle, of wine, be-

Public Welfare Misunderstood

.... ,'

PITTSBURGH (NC)-Creation of a new ecumenical agency involving Protestant, Catholic and Byzantine denominations in a nine-county area of southwestern Pennsylvannia was the major item on the agenda when the Pittsburgh Area Council of Churches met for its annual general assembly here today.

Delegates to the assembly are scheduled to vote on whether to dissolve the present l8-denomination Council of Churches in favor of the new agency, which would be called Christian Associates of Southwest Pennsylvania.

As now constituted, the Council of Churches includes only Protestant and Orthodox denominations located in Alleghency County. Although· Roman Catholic and Byzantine-rite Catholic representatives have not been formal members of the council, the groups have cooperated in the past on a number of social action projects.

DAYTON (NC) - Public welfare is the most misunderstood and maligned function of government, participants in a social action seminar of the Knights of Columbus were told here.

Adam P. Kurpiel, director of the Montgomery County Welfare Department and a leader in social action programs, said the general public "fails to realize that the destitute aged, blind and disabled adults, plus children who have been deprived of public support, are the primary beneficiaries of public assistance."

Kurpiel struck hard at the notion that those on relief are unw?rthyof public assistance.

HONOR LABOR LEADER: George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO and long prominent in the labot movement, receives from Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle the papal decoration, Knight Commander with cross of the Order of St. Gregory. The award, made at the request of Paul Cardinal Yu Pin, is a recognition of Mr. Meany's dedication to Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, of which Cardinal Yu Pin is chancellor. NC Ph:)to.

Celebrate Move To New V:ork NEW YORK (NC)-Theological, students and teachers from two branches of Christianity , gathered in the chapel of Union Theological Seminary here to celebrate the move of Wood.stock College from its quiet Maryland campus to New York City.

An advance guard of some 60 students from the Jesuit institutionarrived here in September to begin, their studies.

At the service the remarks, of student spokesmen from each seminary, the specia1ly written litany and the Scripture reading chosen for ·the o~casion, all focused on Christian unity.

Dr. John C. Bennett, president of Union, traced the history of the Jesuit order from its fouqding in 1534 to its migration to America in 1634 and establishment of Woodstock in 1869. He pointed out that in the space of 100 years the· early Jesuits moved from the Old World to the New World. Now, again, in the space of 100 years, their successors are making another move- from Maryland to New York."

He said the first move "was made in the hope of converting the NeW World to the Catholic faith. This second move is made in the hope of a fruitful and brotherly cooperation with this Prqtestant school so that together we may commend our common Christian faith to the world of our day."

Accomplishes More It is mind which does the

side as well as on the administration's side."

However, he felt today's seminarians are maturing in using their new freedom, and added that the students' responsible use of freedom with a greater sharing iIi the seminary administration,' is being developed thrclugh such things as studentfaculty councils.

"Today's seminaries and their faculties are really very much in tune with the modern seminarian," Father, Coyle asserted.

Asked to outline some of the "hopeful signs" the committee sees in some of the current developments in priestly formation, the priest said the "tendency to amalgamation of seminaries on all levels will continue and probably increase in tempo."

He viewed the "mergers" and, "coalition's" of seminaries as a logical step to "fuse together the limited institutional resources of dioceses and religious orders, and to avoid scattering our talents and skills too thinly."

Calling the program "bewildering" in its proportions, Archbishop Leibold said it would demand "giants - the same giants 'who started our Catholic school system with literally nothing but a conviction of need.

"I believe these giants are in our midst," he continued. "Pray God to bring them forth."

Archbishop 'Leibold made his remarks while· addressing the 44th annual conference of the Federation of Catholic PTAs of Greater Cincinnati.

Impression "The average citizen has the impression that welfare rolls are loaded with lazy men who will not work and promiscuous women who continue to bear illegitimate children in order to receive larger welfare checks."

In Montgomery county, he said, there are only 47 physically employable men on welfare. The county, which includes Dayton, has a popuplation of approximately 625.000. An additional child in a family increases the welfare check by only $24 per month, hardly enough to be financially rewarding, he noted.

"There are many deficiences in the present welfare system," according to Kurpiel, who added . that attempts are bing made to improve all aspects of public assistance. "However, the greatest problem arises from the failure of government at all levels to provide sufficient funds to enable a destitute family to live decently."

Theological Schools Association Elects CHICAGO (NC)-Father Cletus Wessels, academic dean of Aquinas Institute, Dubuque, Ia., was elected president of the Midwest Association of ,Theological Schools at its annual meeting here. He will serve a one-year term as president and as chairman of the executive committee.

The association is an organization of 33 Catholic schools of theology in the Midwest.

Pickets Protest Church Award To President NEW YORK (NC) -

Two

hundred demonstrators protested quietly here as the Council of Churches of the City of New York held its annual "Family of Man" awards dinner honoring President Nixon and Dr. S. I. Hayakawa, president of San Francisco State College.

The protestorfl. held a "counterbanquet" of bread and wine in front of the hotel where the . .awards were being presented..

They also organized their own "Family of Man" awards to black militant leader James' Forman and the Rev. James E. Groppi; the Wisconsin' civil rights leader who is 'serving a six-month prison sentence in Milwaukee.

The demonstrations were organized by the "Peace Meal Committee," an ad hoc group of about 25 persons, mostly students at Union Theological Seminary. The Fifth Avenue Peace Committee and 11 other anti-war groups co-sponsored the demonstrations. .

Peace Meal Committee spokesman John E. Shuh said the "counter-banquet" was a "simple meal to celebrate brotherhood" and to extend the spirit of the recent nationwide Vietnam Moratorium.

He said the council's awards' to Nixon and Hayakawa constituted "the baptism of oppression" and "a cheap publicity stunt."

Charles E. Brewster, managing editor of World Outlook Magazine, a Methodist publication, said "the council's 'Family of Man' excludes all but the wellto-do white middle Americans.

It excludes the poor, the alienated, t"e Negro."

In Big League .

Hayakawa, was. criticized for the methods he used to halt demonstrations on his campus, observed, "I must be getting mto the big leagues if they are protesting against me and the President together."

Told of this, Shuh said "The brotherhood of man does~'t' exclude Dr. Hayakawa, and if ,he comes by he is welcome to join us. It could be seen as a washing' away of his sins."

A group of 45 New York clergymen demonstrated against the awards to Nixon and Hayakawa for four hours in the office of Rev. Dan M. Potter, executive secretary of the council.

Mr. Potter, who met with the sit-ins, said the council was "democratic" in its selection process, and said that dissent within the organization was "well known and encouraged, and even expected," Previous winners of the awards have 'included the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower, former President Lyndon B. Johnson, former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, and ' John D. Rockefeller III.

'Sees Hope, ~or Justice in Jeopardy Msgr. Ellis Stresses Spiritual Ideal NEW ORLEANS (NC) - In this age of revolution, society has produced conditions that have placed' the hope for justice in jeopardy, a' leading Church historian told members of the Louisiana bench and bar here.

Msgr. John Tracy Ellis of San Francisco, speaking at the annual Red Mass sponsored by the' St. Thomas More Catholic Lawyers association, said that should justice succumb, "one can scarcely expect that the republic will endure."

Msgr. Eliis outlined three ways' in which the legal profession could cope with today's revolution: By dev~loping an attitude of flexibility toward the' law that would allow for adaptation to change; Cultivation of personal integrity that would make one's conduct authentic in the eyes of others; and An open and sympathetic mind toward the young. .

Although "no age in history has ever attained a condition even remotely suggesting human perfection," the monsignor said, "there is solid evideqce to support the. belief that those ages that wItnessed civHization's highest achievements 'were periods inspired by a spiritual or supernatural ideal."

The ideal could have been Christian, Judaic, or even inspired by pagan deities, he said, "but the point is that a span of time was thus informed so that the restraining influence or a

The cardinal said that the synod is taking on a clearer and more pre,cise form. as "an expression of the .collegial coresponsibility of bishops." .

The historian pointed out the need "to cultivate a deep personal integrity that will both meet the quiet but insistent calls of conscience's voice within us," and make conduct appear "authentic in the eyes of those around us," -About today's youth, Msgr.

Ellis cautioned that the excesses of a few should' not "color our judgment" of all.

"Dare we lock our minds and hearts to a generation that" >I< * has witnessed the destruction of their heroes either by the guns of the assassins. or by a public expose of private lives tainted with corruption and vice among those whom they once held in honor?" .

"The moral corruption that is taking a mounting toll' in 'both public . and private affairs is found in virtually every aspect of national life" has served to harden the cynicism of youth.

ST. LOUIS (NC)-A letter expressing "a general feeling of dismay" over the resignation of Donald Quinn as managing editor.of the St; Louis Review, archdiocesan newspaper, was sent by 75 priests here to John Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis.

The letter noted that Quinn's Oct. 17 resignation "culminates a series of changes in scope and tone of the St. Louis Review which creates a general feeling of dismay among us.

"For years, we have read and supported 'with pride the professional service of communication which enabled readers to keep in touch with the life of the Church here, in the United States and throughout the world," the priests wrote.

"We regret that the award· winning Review has evolved from a professional journal which gave wide coverage to diversified Chri.stian thought and opinion to a diocesan organ which primarily serves now as a vehicle for hierarchical decrees, pastoral letters and personal devotional reflections."

In the past nine weekly editions, the Review has published a total of seven pastoral letters from Cardinal Carberry. In addition, the cardinal two weeks ago initiated a weekly front-page "Pastoral Reflections" column written by himsel( or one of the auxiliary bishops.

Touchdown Runs Thrill Fans

They ranged from Dave Texeira's 39-yard TD jaunt for Fairhaven to Paul Bouchard's 80yard kickoff return for New Bedford Vocational. And, in-between patrons saw Attleboro's Bishop Feehan High Bob Thorpe lug the pigskin for 66 yards and a touchdown while Jay Bentley's broken-field touchdown run for Case of Swansea only one-yard less than Thorpe's sensational dash. Joe Berube of Somerset High contributed a 58-yard TD thriller while Jim Souza of Seekonk, romped 45 yards to score after a blocked punt and then, just to prove his ball carrying prowess, he dazzled the onlookers with a 40-yard rush from a faked punt formation.

Chris Carroll gave the Bishop Stang High stalwarts something to cheer about, too, when he sped 45 yards for a TD while his teammate, Ray Letendre, sprinted 34 yards for a score. . Northern Bristol County football followers have a treat in store next Sunday afternoon when all-winning Msgr. Coyle High of Taunton invades Attleboro to square off against unbeaten Feehan in a battle for undisputed possession of first place in the BCL.

The male enrollment at the two diocesan regional high· schools is the smallest of'the institutions competing in the county circuit. Coyle' tripped Dunee High of Fall River, 24-6, to annex its seventh straight season's triumph last weekend while Feehan chalked up its sixth successive win at the expense of North Attleboro High of the Hockomock,' 28-0.

Bishop Stang High of Dartmouth, which clinched its second league victory by besting Taunton High, 12-0, last weekend, clashes with Attleboro High this coming Saturday. New Bedford Vocational, which registered its season's initial win at the expense of Tiverton, 56-26, last Saturday vies with Taunton High this coming Saturday.

Durfee. will be idle this weekend.

Dighton-Rehoboth and Somerset, both with undefeated Narry records, will clash a week from this coming Saturday for the top spot.

Somerset, a one-point loser to Canton of the Hockomock loop last Saturday, travels to Cape Cod this coming Saturday to engage W/1-reham of the Capeway Conference.

Old Rochester of Mattapoisett was no match for Seekonk last weekend when the latter piled up an easy, 54-14 triumph. Old Rochester will be idle this weekend.

A 19-16 winner over Case of Swansea in its last encounter, Dighton-Rehoboth will be at home when it tackles Norton High of the Tri-Valley Conference this coming Saturday.

The big Capeway Conference contest is scheduled Saturday when powerful Lawrence High of Falmouth invades Dartmouth.

The Cape aggregation is unbeaten in its 'five starts this season while Dartmouth has lost, only one of its six campaign engagements.

Dartmouth's Green rolled to an easy 31-13 win over Barnstable last Saturday while Falmouth defeated Woburn, 26-12.

By Luke Sims With a 14-game' winless streak marring his two-year record, Colby College head football coach Dick McGee finds it difficult to smile. With only two games (Maine Maritime and Bates) remaining on the 1969 White Mules' schedule, the somber expression may last the football year.

Except for a scoreless tie with the Maritime' '11' late last season, McGee has seen his Mules' drop 13 successive decisions.

Thanks to a freshman-sophomore do~inated. roster, however, a smile may be in the offing in the not-too-distant future.

The Mules are in a, rebuilding year. A "tough" season was anticipated. Within the next two years, McGee and Colby follow- ' ers alike are hopeful and confi· dent of a turn-about.

Two reasons responsible for the optimism are Jim Ventura and Bob Landsvik. Both are freshmen, and each has seen considerable duty in varsity competition.

Ventura, of Taunton, is listed as a .linebacker on the Mule defensive unit while South Dartmouth's Landsvik is a starting offensive tackle.

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Manuel Ventura, Jim is a former three-sport star at Coyle High School. In addition to football, the 5-10 athlete WaS a member of the Warrior baseball and tennis squads.

As an offensive fullback and defensive linebacker, Jim helped Coyle gain a runnerup berth in the tough Bristol County League during his senior year and was named to several All-County defensive teams. As a baseball player, he patrolled the outfield as well as doing the second string catching chores. On the track team, Jim competed in the field events.

Archdiocese Cancels Entrance Exams BALTIMORE (NC)-The Baltimore archdiocesan department of Catholic education has decided to do away with the high school entrance examinations which were formerly given to eighth graders here every March.

Those one-chance tests which determined whether a student got into a Catholic high school or not brought "undue pressure on a child," commented one department administrator.

In the past few years, parochial schools here have been using the standardized Iowa Basic Skills Test and the LorgeThorndike I.Q. Test. Scores from these tests, given in the upper grades, combined with marks and teacher comments, are now being compiled in cumulative record folders. Each student has one.

From now on, the accumulated data will replace the tests.
