JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY

Assassination Stuns" Cape Friends of Late President By Russell On Friday, November 22, a most terrible act of murder was committed and television, radio, and the press have thoroughly covered the re action of the country. We know how the people of Chicago, of Ithaca, of New York, of San

Francisco, of all the thousands

of small towns in all our States, felt about the death of President Kennedy. And by now, most of us know just how the residents of Cape Cod felt-particularly his friends and neighbors in and near Hyannis Port. But not much has been said about Hyannis - the shopping and business center for the smaller communities - and the people who work and live there. Where the connection with Mr. Kennedy, aj President, was almost entirely through the swarming tourists and Summer visitors. Hyannis heard the news and went through the same familiar cycle - shock, unbelief, partial acceptance, and a vague, sad.

The 46-year old Massachusetts native was assasinated as he rode in a motorcade in Dallas eariy last Friday afternoon by a sniper believed t~ be Lee Harvey Oswald who himself was murdered by gunshot on Sunday last when he was being trans ferred from the city to the county jail in the community of the Texas crime which stunned, shocked and grieved the entire nation. Pre sid e n t Lyndon Baines Johnson of Texas, who served as Vice President for the past two years and 10 months, suc ceeded to the highest office in the nation. He was sworn in as Chief Executive aboard the U. S. Air Force plane which carried the body of the late President back to the nation's capital.

It was Cardinal Cushing who officiated at the wedding on Sept. 12, 1953, of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier. The Cardinal gave the invo cation at the inauguration of President Kennedy on Jan. 20, 1961. Only last August 10 Cardinal Cushing offered the "Mass of the Angels," Requiem for in fants, in his private chapel for Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, infant son of the President and the First Lady. The child had died two days· after birth. The Requiem Mass followed a week end of mourning. For the preceding 24 hours the Presi dent's body lay in state in the rotunda of the Capitol Building. Thousands of men, women and children of every race, color and creed filed past the bier to paT their last respects. Before being taken to the Cap_ itol, the body lay in the East Room of the White House. The casket was draped with an American flag and the cata falque was covered in black. A large crucifix bearing an ivory figure of Christ was at the foot of the casket which was flanked by four candl-es and decorated with a bouquet of white lilies and carnations. When the body was brought to the White House at 4:25 A.M. from the Naval medical center in in Bethesda, Md., a prayer was offered by a priest waiting there. Two priests remained Turn to Page Two

Diocesan Collection Sunday For Catholic University My dear brethren in Christ: By long tradition, we show our support of The Cath~ olic University in Washington, next Sunday, December first. Of all our educational institutions, this is the cap-stone. It makes strong and firm the whole edifice of C'atholic Education in the United States. A large percentage of the sisters, brothers and priests that staff our schools have had their advanced training at the University. And each year, the number of laymen and women attending classes there increases. Last year alone, there were upwards of 16,000 registered students at The Catholic University. To accommodate this ever increasing patronage there is a growing need for class-room, laboratory and living facilities. No more than any other institution On collegiate or post-graduate level, can they carry out their programme for expansion on student fees. As a matter of fact, tuition charges total about one third of what it takes to carryon the work of The Catholic University. And this sad imbalance is even more costly to the University in the graduate departments patronized by priests and religious trying to prepare for and improve their educational activity through out the land. So we need to continue our loyal support, and help keep our Catholic University in the forefront. It has and it will promote and prepare the type of leadership needed in our uncertain times. I am sure youwill continue your gen erous traditions, and wish to thank you cordially for what you have already done and will do to sustain this noble cause. Faithfully yours in Christ

They said they represent the Committee to Re store Bible Reading in the Pub lic Schools.

By Rev.- Joseph T. McGloin, S.J. Whenever you talk to teen-agers for any length of time about their problems, you always seem to get back to one subject, adults.

Flash From Dallas StunsFriends

. ·Of President In Hyannisport Continued from Page One shopping night--and the traffic in Hyannis. was normal for this time of year. But, everywhere, in the shopping and other adiv ities, there was a quietness, a certain formality, a thin veil of withdrawal covering an und.~rly lng unsureness. Even in the places used ·and acceptedi as "clubs" by the younger citizens, the quietness prevailed-and it was noted that, for the first time since they were installed, the juke boxes were silent. The Cape Bowl stayed open because there was no way of notifying the many league t.~ams due to bowl Friday night but Mrs. Charles Pratt said that Dnly a few showed up and they had little interest or spirit and the establishment closed early in the evening. Prayers and Masses Shortly after the first news flashes arrived, radio station WOCB abandoned all local pro grams and joined the network for full coverage - breaking in only to give notice of the caR cellation of various social and sporting activities: to announce the time and place of prayel' meetings and Masses; and to bring special interviews with local people close to the Ken nedy family. Most of the people in Hyannis,. like the rest of us, seel1li!d to be waiting for the voire of some reassuring announcer saying: "We hope this program has. made you think. We must a11 make' sure it can never happen here!" But the numbness wore off, leaving the-sadness and the real_ ization that there would be no. reassuring announcer - that it had, indeed, "happened here." Personal Loss So there was sadness and grief and a dull, gnawing anger. These might vary in degree for the individual- but the people in the stores, in the parking lots, and on the street, had one~ thing. in common, a sense of pe:rsonal loss. Whether they ,knew him or not, whether they agreed with his policies or not, they all had the feeling of personal involve ment. And they all thought of him as an individual rather than as "the President." For mos~ of WI ftlis feeling is the result of l:he impact of a dynamic and strong; character--of exposure to an in. sistence on "individualne~.s" that allowed us no retreat to- a color le9S "they" or "him" Ol~ "that guy." Long Known In Hyannis there is a further reason. Hyannis has known the Kennedy family for a long. long. time and the older merchants. and citizens have a clear remem~ branee of the ''Kennedy kids" getting haircuts from Costas Sethares and, later, from Nelson Kierstead - playing around. the clothing store of Hyman Burman -sitting on the curb in front of By Hirsch's while waiting to be picked up by the family car stopping at the home of E Thomas Murphy and asking to borrow a brown derby as part of a treasure hunt. The fact that one of them be

came President did not really change anything. Except, of course, for the swarms of Sum mer visitors and tourists, all bent, apparently, on seeing Jack Kennedy or his wife or his fam_ ily or the fence around his home in Hyannis Port-so that certain restrictiv-e measures had to be taken by the Police to save the fence from being destroyed and to insure some degree of privacy. Next Summer Next Summer things will be different. The Police can assume that they will be relieved of some special assignments--that they will not have to deal with the sightseeing jams at Hyannis Port and at St. Francis Xavier Chu,reh on Sunday mornings. And St. Francis Xavier, in to- insure some degree of privacy. turn, will not have to deal with the throngs of sightseeing "fans" on Sunday morningS'-they will not have the problem of what to do with those who, despite their own. personal beliefs or lack of them, arrived early for· the first Mass and sat stolidly through the President arrived. WOCB can reduce the Sum mer staff and relax a bit and re call the dayS when the newly elected Senator, Jack Kennedy, would come to the studios for frequent-and at times-infor mat-interviews and broadcasts. Old Family Hyannis will miss John Fitzgerald· Kennedy, not only as President, but as a member of' an old, known and well"-liked family.. The shock will wear off, the sadness will f~de, the puzzled anger will die away - but in Hyannis the memory of Jack Kennedy will stay warm and bright and shining in the hearts of old and young. They can re call his kindness and his help and they will remember him with affection. The very young wilt remember him with grati tude as they test their skill and skates at the Kennedy Memorial Rink.

The legion's observation said further: 'As a dramatization of the hu manity of the Catholic priest hood, presented against a back ground of richly photographed and handsomely produced litur gical ceremonies, and realized with some sensitive perfor mances, this motion picture makes for absorbing entertain ment. "The theme of the story, how ever, involving as it does delicate theological-ethical . issues and Catholic practices, is sometimes treated in such a manner that questions which would require a fuller explanation for the im mature and uninformed, may be subject to possible misunde~ standing and misinterpretation. While noting this. reservation, the legion recognizes that, with proper guidancf' and instruction, adolescents could also find the film of entertainment interest."

These words of St. Paul to his beloved Timothy could well have echoed around the stricken young figure of John Fitzgerald Kennedy as he bled out his life in the tragic moments that followed the assassin's attack on Friday last. There lay a President, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a friend. The tears 'and hopes and griefs of so very many clustered around his still form in those terrifying minutes when a nation's heart broke and a world was plunged into mourning.

Ancient Hat Given to CI'othing Drive Will Surprise Recipient By Mary Tinley Daly Somebody, somewhere, is going to get the surprise of his life when ·that portion of the Bishops' Relief clothing emanating from our house lands on his hapless head. And somebody at our house is in for a surprise, toQ, when he finds that, search and moan mas. That beat-up old one is as he will, a misshapen old a disgrace, a positive disgrace!" brown felt hat is beyond his (Far be it from us to remind reach forevermore. "Why, that the new one will immedi this hat has character," the Head of the House has stoutly main tained for years. "It's a real 're porter's hat.' You'd n ever find a newspa perman done up in one of those Madison Ave nue jobs with a narrow brim and, excuse the heresy, a feath er mit.'No, sir, give me myoid brown felt!"

So.Mueh Charae~

Well, sir, we' did give it to bim, gave it to him when it was a brand new brown felt, beauti fully blocked, with snap brim and with, excuse the her~sy, a gay little feather in the hatband. At the time; it replaced its pre decessor, an old gray felt, also with "character," so much char acter that it literally wore through in the brim where our reporter constantly tugged it over his eyes. At the time we gave him the new - now old - brown felt, fir9t step was removal of the heretical feather which he gave

to Ginny for her doll. (Now you

know how long ago that was!)

So, within a week or two, the hat

blocker would have seethed with

frustration had he seen how

quickly all his efforts were sse

rificed to "character:'

Maybe it is the newspaperman

in him that causes the Head of

the House to treat hats the way

he does, through we have known a lot of newspapermen who, sartorially, could pass for in surance salesmen, politicians or

stock brokers - some of the

younger ones even adopting the

new cult of hatlessness.

Not for our reporter. Like a

fireman 9t rea kin g into his

clothes, our man slaps that old

hat on his head at an oblique

angl,e, rolling brim up on left

side, pulling it down over his

eyes with the right hand, and

h'e's off - not to cover murders,

fires and yoking9 as in the past

- but t!ven on such sedate mis

sions as going to Mass. The ef fect is characteristic; perhaps "swashbuckling" is the best one word description. Maybe it was chicken to keep the old brown felt out of the Bishops' Relief box the past sev eral years - or the fact that we are fond of the guy who is fond of the hat. Organize ConsPWaey This Fall, however, a couple of style conscious daughter9 got into the act, even to a financial stake in the venture. "We've bought Daddy a new hat and he's going to wear it right now - not wait till Christ-

ately start on its swashbuckle path.) "The only way we'll get him to wear the new one is to do away with the old - give it to a bishop." We knew what she meant, though for a moment the thought of a bishop' wearing our report er's hat was startling. Today we packed: all of us eon t rib uti n g really usable clothing and bedding, the Head of the House adding a suit, coat, 9hoes underwear and., unbe knownst to himself, his "trea sure," the old felt hat. "I'll lug the stuff over t(l' the rectory," he volunteered., hoisting the heavy box down the front steps, into the car. "Some body bring me my hat?" "Your hat is already iR the car," one of the girls said, some what ironically. "Besides, it's so mild, you don't even need one." Thus, in a way, the Head 01. the House himself contributed his reporter's hat to someone, somewhere. ' May it descend, somewhere in the world, upon the head of a man who likes "character" in his hat - or at least likes to keep the rain off his head!

_ Indian Archbishop D'Souza Favors Profound Reform of Roman Curia

Council Decree on Judaism

Great Moment in History

ROME (DW) - Archbishop Eugene D'Souza, 46, Indian-born Archbishop of Nagpur and Bho pal, India, believes the Roman Curia should be subjected to "profound reform" just as the rest of the Church. On that same day Joseph Cardinal Frings of' Cologne had opened the day's discussion with a severe note of disapproval of certain methods adopted by the Holy Office,

Calling attention to a Schema text which says "The Congrega tions of the Roman Curia fulfill their office in the name and by the authority of the Supreme Pontiff," Archbishop D'Souza asked the Council Fathers, "What precisely do these wOrds mean?" Voice of Majority

ROME (DW)-Zachariah Shuster, 60, European Di

rector of the American Jewish Committee, says the Vatican

Council draft on Catholic-Jewish relations "is certainly one

of the greatest moments in Jewish history," He said he

felt confident "that Jews of

this generation will feel

fortunate to have witnessed Patriarch Notes

this4Pistoric step on the part

of the Church." The draft was officially titled "The Attitude of

Catholics towards Non-Chris

tians, particularly toward the

Jews," and is to form chapter four of the Schema on Ecu

menism. Still Being Taught Shuster declared "it has been agreed by all those who deal with the problem of anti-Semi tism, that one of its causes is most likely the popular be~iefs about Jews that have been trans mitted from generation to gen eration in the Christian world." ~e said these beliefs were, itt short, "that Jews as a people bear the responsibility for the erucifixion of Jesus Christ, and that therefore they' were con demned to dispersion and per lecution down through the ages." The Church has never pro claimed these beliefs as dogmas, Sh.uster emphasized, "but they were taught in Christian schools, both Catholic and Protestant, were accepted by .large masses of Christian populations every where, and are still being taught in catechisms in use today in France, the United States, and Germany." Ends Charges The initiative for improving Catholic-'Jewish relations and

for clarifying the position of the

Catholic Church once and, for all, Shuster said, "came from the highest authorities of the Church m Rome." He noted it was Pope John himself who got the idea and entrusted the actual work of ,tlidying this problem and de veloping a final solution for it to Cardinal Bea ·and his staff at the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. ' In the course of this work, Shuster said, the Vatican soli:. cited the views of the most com petent scholars imd religious leaders, :both Christians and Jews, and a great body of know ledge was accumulated during the past three years. "One can confidently say," he added, "that there was not one Jewish group "or trend or leading Jewish thinker wbo has not expressed his views to the authorities in Rome at their re quest." Shuster stressed the Council decree, still to be discussed, con tained "a total rejection of the myth of Jewish guilt for the Crucifixion." He said it is hoped that the practical effect of the decree will be "that in the course of time no catechism or textbook used in Catholic schools and seminaries will repeat these charges." Better Understanding He pointed out the decree speaks "with warmth and re spect of Judaism, pointing out that Christianity is rooted in Judaism, and that there is a great affinity between these two religions." , Shuster said that "never be fore was there such a statement and call issued by the highest authority of the church with re gard to Jews and JUdaism," , adding that Jews may now look forward to a new era in which Jews and Christians will begin to understand one another.

Supreme Power

Of Pontiff

ROME (DW) - Patriarch

Ignace Pierre XVI Batanian~ .64, .of Cilicia of the Armen-' ians, with residence in Bey routh, Lebanon, has reminded Council Fathers to keep in mind during their discussion of the Schema "on Bishops and the Government of Dioceses," that 'the primacy of the Roman Pon tiff cannot be limiied in any way whatever." He also asked that' Council Fathers to be "objective and calm in making their observ~- , tions on the present form of the central administration of the Churcl1, giving due' consider~ tion to the merits of the Supreme Pontiff's collaborators, and .to the obligation of avoiding scan dal." .

"Having Canon Law the same

for the entire world is the letter

of the law which kills." He then

listed a number of cases for

which Rome now legislates, and

asked "Would not the best

judges for solving many of these

questions be the bishops them

selves, aided by experts of their

own region?"

Better Arrangement The common good oj~ the Church would greatly profit, he said, "if some Senate, so to say, were formed of bishops from various nations, who might rule the Church with the Supreme Pontiff." But he pointed out it would be even more desirable' 'if on the one hand the powerc,f the Roman Curia were limited, and on the other hand the bishops might be. granted all the :facul ties which belong to them by common 'arid divine 'law f(lr the exercise of. their office, while the Apostolic See always rl~tains the right to reserve to itself those things, which are oppor tune for the good' of the lmtire Church."

He said "that unless the pow er of the Curia is precisely de fined, the state of affairs in the Church will revert to what it ARCHBISHOP D'SOUZA

ROME - The other night, as we dined with about eight~n bishops from behind the Iron Curtain, we asked seven of them who were near us at table to add up the number of years they ha~ spent in pris?n and in concentration camps because of their Faith. The total was twenty-six years! We then told them that they were "dry martyrs," explaining that a "wet martyr" was one w:ho shed blood for his Faith while a dry martyr was one who died a thousand times through suffering. They answered: "We are all potential wet martyrs," adding that they had either just gotten out of prison or were getting ready to be sent back.

$16,000 or the equivalent of only 10 per cent of the annual running expenses of his arch diocese. "I suppose that 50 per cent of my time is taken up just with getting enough funds to keep going," the archbishop pointed out. adding his experience is shared by every mission bishop in the wo;ld. Archbishop Henry declared the doctrine of the collegiality of bishops, if drawn to its logi cal conclusion, would have a tre mendous effect on the mis sionary role of the Church, "be cause it means, in short, that the bishops as a body are respon sible for the entire Church." An alternative to tithing. Archbishop Henry said, "would be direct assistance by developed dioceses' and parishes to under developed dioceses and par ishes." In order that as much equity as possible might be reached in both systems of sup port, there would have to be national and international com missions· composed of represen tatives of existing episcopal con ferences, to which bishops in need could make application. Spreading Gospel Archbishop Henry explained that such a program would go a long way toward destroying the patronizing attitude found today in the Church toward missionary work, and would make bishops, priests and laity realize that missionary work is not identi fied with running orphanages. hospitals and leprosaria, but consists in firmly establishing the Church in a given area, be this in a so-called mission coun try or in the homeland, wher ever the Church is being spread.

ROME (DW) - "Before the Church will be able to effective ly preach the Gospel to every creature, it will be necessary to tithe every parish in the world, even the poorest," said Archbish op Harol W. 'Henry, 54, who has spent 30 years in Korea as a Columban Father and today is head of the Kwangju Archdio cese there. Archbishop Henry, benn In Northfield, Minn. and a convert to Catholicism, believf:os "tithing would oblige each parish to con tribute 10 per cent of its income each year to a general fund to be applied to mission areas." 'Crumbs from Table' The Society for the Propaga tion of the Faith, the Church's official fund-collecting organi zation for mission areas, "was a wonderful thing in its day," Archbishop Henry said, "but the basic idea behind it falls far short of the mission apostolate of the Church." He feels mission support is a serious personal obligation in justice for Catholics, "not merely a work of charity of supereroga tion in which little sacrifices are made for the benefit of the mis sions." The Archbishop said the atti tude of some bishops, priests and laity in various parts of the world, "that the missions ought to be satisfied with the crumbs which fall from the table," is an attitude incompatible with Pope John XXIII's declaration that the propagation of the Gospel among men is the most impor tant work of the Church.
