English Cardinal Supports Pope,

Corrects Interview Distortions

0

LONDON (NC)-Express­ ing concern over theappar­ ently widespread misinter­ pretation of statements he made in a television interview on Dec. 6, John Cardinal Heenan of Westminst~r has issued ex­ tracts from the recording of the interview. . .

The Cardinal said he recog­ nized that the press was able to report only a small part of the

interview but added that some "isolated" quotations have led some who did not see the entire program to think that he told Catholics to ignore the encycli­ cal and follow their own con­ sciences.

Actually Cardinal Heenan said in the interview that "I be­ lieve that in a measurable time -five or 10 years-everybody will accept what the Pope has said."

The Cardinal said that the whole scientifi~ trend is toward the use of natural rhythm for birth control-the fact that con­ ception is possible only within a limited perioda~d the at­ tempt to pinpoint this period with accuracy.

The Cardinal, in the inter­ view, said that a person must 'follow his conscience but he in­ dicated that the conscience is not an insolated thing nor a

means of knowledge and that a Catholic's conscience is formed by the principles of morality.

Asked if in conscience he would have been able to accept whatever decision the Pope made" the Cardinal replied, "Of course my conscience would have been able to accept what­ ever the Pope, after all that consideration, all that study and consultation, had decided was right."

Day of Prayer Supplants

Forty Hours Devotion

In acoordance with the Eu­ charistic Instruction of Pope Paul, the F'all River Diocese has made some adjustments in ,the traditional Forty. Hours Devotion service that takes place in each parish of the Dio­ cese each wear.

The service of public adora­ tion of the Blessed Sacrament as the fruit of the Sacrifice of the Mass will be· termed Day of Prayer and will be observed on an assigned date by each of the

Fr. M. P. Ferreira

111 parishes throughout the Diocese.

The service will consist of Exposition of the Blessed Sac­ rament without procession after the last scheduled Mass of the morning with public adoration of the Blessed Sacrament throughout the day until the Day of Prayer is closed by Benedict!on' in the evening.

During the day, parishioners and groups are urged to make visits to the Blessed Sacrament to ask 'God'sJ blessings upon

themselves and the parish as a public mark of reparation for the neglect of God. Vatican Council II and the implementing Instruction on the Eucharist of Pope Paul have in­ sisted upon the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament as an in­ tegral aspect of Catholic belief and practice.

The faithful are also encour­ aged to make frequent visits at all times to the Blessed Sacra­ ment, a practice that has been long a praiseworthy custom.

Pope Paul Insists Writers Comply With Doctrine VATliCAN CITY (NC) Commenting on the work of presenting the truths of the faith to modern man, 'Pope Paul has told a general audi­ ence that there is the "temp­ tation of choosing from among the ,treasury of revealed truths those which are pleasing, leav­ ing aside the others." The Pope spoke of the .problem of main­ taining "jealously the authen­ ticity of the message of salva­ tion and at the same time make it acceptable by the' modem mentality." .

The Pope praised the efforts of those who "make an effort to express clearly and happily religious truths in a way that all may accept it and in a cer­ tain measure understand it."

But he also spoke of the possi­ bility in. this process of "am­ biguity, reticence, of altering the integrity of this message, let alone that it may lead to the temptation to choose from Turn to Page Six

Prelate ~rges Greater Role For Priests NEW YORK (NC)-Bi'sh­ op Francis J. Mugavero of

Brooklyn said 'here that plliests must be' willing to assume a greater role in assist­ . !ng bishops in the decision-mak­ ing process in' the Church.

"If we do not exchange our knowledge of the new world, -then none of us has ~nowledge," he said. "If we do not look for

solutions together, then non~ of

us has solutions."

Bishop Mugavero addres~d the first annual New York State Convention of Priests' Councils.

More than 200 priests, repre­ senting 13 official and unofficial organizations of priests in ,the state's eight' Catholic d\oceses attended the convention at Ken­ nedy Airport.

Bishop Mugavero said the idea of councils of priests, called for by the Second Vath:an Council, has roots in the New Testament concept of the priesthood as "the ministry of loving one an­ other in Jesus.

Only Way "You and I, all priests and all ,bishops, must discuss," he stated.

"We must think and rethink, suggest and propose, formulate and reformulate, sometimes be angry with one another, and once in a while, I hope, laugh as we agree.

"This is the way men do things ·together," Bishop MUgia­ vero said. "This is £he . .o nly way we who share a ministry can share its work."

Bishop Mugavero urged care­ ful study of ways to give priests and laymen a greater voice in the Church.

The convention of New York Priests' Councils includes both priests' senates, whiohare of­ ficial diocesan bodies elected to advise the local ,bishop, 'and priests' associations, which are unofficial groups.

More than 120 priests' senates and associations have formed a six-month-old National Federa­ tion of Priests Councils (NFPC), which will hold its first conven­ tion next March.

Entire Parish Exults When New Christian Is' Added to Holy Name Family

,

By Patricia McGowan

When a' new Christian makes the scene at Holy Name Church, Fall River, the en­ tlire parish reJoices. There's no 'slipping of godparents and priests into the baptistry for -an almost surreptitious service. The whole church is used for a three--part baptismal ceremony, gifts are presented'to the baby on behalf of the parish and, most importantly, at least two parishioners are ­ present at each baptism to ceremony takes ,place, 'as the Paschal candle, lit at Holy Name welcome the new member of priest opens the child's senses for baptisms all year round. It the Holy Name :family. to God by means of prayer and reminds its bearer. of the light Things weren't always this

way at Holy Name. The new' awareness of baptism began about a year and a half ago when the Parent-Educator program of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine was activated in the parish. Under the chairmanship of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Griffin, 20 couples take turns representing .the parish at each bapjtism. There are also four boys who alternate taking pictures of each baby at the moment of baptism, two Sisters who make baptismal banners, and, very importantly, Mrs. Robert Grandmont, a semiinvalid who, despite painfully arthritic hands, makes a "white garment" for each new baby, which is laid upon him as the priest recites the words "Receive this white garment."

Striking Banners _The baptismal banners are striking. Made by Sister Miny David and Sister Rose Angela, both Holy Uriion 'Sisters, they incorporate the pictures taken of each baby at 'baptism with appropriate words' and symbols.

Two recent .banners have been inscribed "Love Grows, Love Blooms," this one adorned with psychedelic flowers; and "Children of God, bless the waters of ·baptism," this decorated in a wave-like motif. Another banner displays a caterpillar and a butterfly, symbolizing the transformation of the soul in bap­ tism. As new sets of pictures are posted in the church vestibule it's crowded with parishioners eager' to see the latest additions to the Holy Name family.

The actual ,baptism ceremony begins at the church entrance where prayers and readings welcome the child from dark­ ness into God's light. Halfway down the aisle the "Ephpheta"

symbolic actions.

Climactic Act

In the sanctuary the climactic act of baptism is performed with parents, godparents, friends 'and relatives urged to gather closely around the --baby, so closely, in fact, that little brothers and sis­ ters are sometimes all but re­ baptized as they push forward in order not to miss anything.

During the three-stage cere­ mony appropriate scriptures are read by the couple representing the parish and the Parent-Edu­ cator CCD committee, and the baptizing priest gives full. ex­ planations of each rite as he performs it.

The Parent-,Educators, at the appropriate moments in the ser­ vice, step forward and present parish gifts to the new-baptized.

They are the white garment and the baptismal candle, and their symbolism is explained in a leaflet supplied by the commit­ tee. ' Priestly People The robe, notes the leaflet, is reminiscent' of the white gar­ ment worn in the early church by the newly baptized for the week following baptism. It has a further significance in that it resembles the chasuble now worn by a priest at Mass and thus reminds all that Christians are a priestly people.

The candle given' the new Christian is a miniature of the

of Christ, and the Alpha and Omega symbols engraved upon it remind him' further that all lives begin and end in the Lord.

Following the baptism the Parent-Educator couple assigned to each baby follow up their initial contact with home visits. "offering help if needed and some religious instruction, and maintaining a spirit of welcome to the parish community."

So effective has the program been that some parents have themselves joined the Parent­ Educator group in order to pass on to others the experience they had at their child's baptism. In one case, said the Griffins, a 19 year old father died shortly after his baby was baptized at Holy Name. Wishing to bury with her husband something Turn to Page Six

Britian to Reduce Number of Bishops In House of Lords .

LONDON (NC) - In the re­ form of the House of Lords which has been announced by thegovemment the number of Angillcan bishops entitled to sit there will be reduced from 26 to 16.

The often repeated suggestion that there should also be Catho­ lic and Protestant representa­ tives in the upper house is not being contemplated.

None of the present Anglican episcopal peers will have to give up their seats. As they retire, there will be no replacements until the figure of 16 is reached.

The existing House of Lords has a total membership of more than 1,000 peers, of whom 736 are hereditary, but of whom few ever attend.

Existing hereditary peers would remain members for their llfetime, but would lose their voting rights.

At this week's meeting of the House of Clergy of the Church Assembly, a proposal was made that clergymen of the Church of England should be allowed to stand for election to parllameht.

The resolution was lost' by a large majority.

"Clergymen," said Canon Wil­ liam Wallis, "would have to stand representlng ·the J"abor, Conservative or Liberal party.

It would ·be great pity if' they were found to represent one political party in their parishes."

Anyhow, he added, as represen­ tatives of the Church they "would not stand a dog's chance."

'Remarkabl,e' Job' Walpole Prisoner Designs Model Church

For Mission in Korea

BOSTON (NC)-When Father John Roche, S.S.C., returns to mission duty in Korea, he will take along a church-compli­ ments of a "lifer" at Walpole State Prison.

It's a model of a church, plus plans which Father Roche in­ tends to follow in building. a full-scale edifice.

Father Roche, son of Mr. and 1 Mrs. Patrick Roche of Roslin­ dale, is home after 10 years' missionary work in Korea, serving while on leave as an assistant at St. Mary's Church in Wrentham. A friend, Father John Foley, chaplain at Wal­ pole, invited Father Roche to offer Mass in the prison chapel.

"I had some misgivings," Father Roche admitted, "which increased as I passed through the labyrinth of clanging ste~l doors and bars at Walpole. But my nervousness gave way to wonder as I entered the chapel."

"I discovered a beautiful church, newly remodeled in line

wi th the liturgical decrees of the Second Vatican council," he said. "The altar was stunning."

Father Rocha learned the chapel and altar has been de­ signed by a 29-year-old inmate serving a life term for murder.

Priest and prisoner met later that day. Father Roche men­ tioned there was a great need for functional, economical churches in Korea. Without hesitation, the prisoners offered to design one.

That was six months ago.

Working in his spare time, the inmate detailed plans and built a scale model of a circular chapel.

The missionary discovered the prisoner had learned architectu­ design since his confinement at Walpole 12 years ago.

"He has done a remarkable job," he said. "Every beam and section of the chapel has its own drawing, and the model shows the exacting work of a crafts­ man. The design captures the spirit of the country, and it's something a missionary and his congregation can build together.

Father Roche' has resolved to see the idea become a reality.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Inqui­ ries from persons interested in joining the Papal Volunteers for Latin America (PAVLA) have taken a sharp upturn, according to Father Raymond A. Kevane, PAVLA n'!tional director. 'But more are still needed, he added.

During the first month of the 1969 recruitment drive .(October to November, 1968) 523 inquiries were received, the largest num­ ber ever received in one month.

Of these, 35 per cent qualified for preliminary applications.

While inquries have increased, greater selectivity in the accept­ ance of applicants requires a larger group to choose from, Father Kevane noted. During December, P AVLA is reinforc­ ing its recruitment drive which is ·active in 49 states and the District ·of Columbia.

P AVLAs policy is to accept men and women experienced in a skill or profession specifically requested by' Latin American programs. They agree to spend three years working in Latin' America after completing train­ ing.

Next year will be ninth that PAVLA has sent volunteers to Latin America. The 1969 train­ ing program will begin next Summer. There are now about 200 Papal Volunteers working throughout the Central and South America as well as in the Caribbean.

RecommendsNew Latin America Aid Channels LOS ANGELES (NC)-A missioner says United States' assistance to Latin America should 'be channeled -increas­ ingly through the World Bank, United Nations and newly' cre­ ated worldwide institutions to allay suspicions of imperialism where they exist..

The Alliance for Progress should ,be broadened' to' -include cooperation, of developed na­ tions-in other parts of the world, opines Father Joseph Kearney, Los Angeles priest. He is asso­ ciated with Maryknoll as a member of a Team for Human Development in. Lima, Peru.

Best Interests Father Kearney feels it is "increasingly in-thinking in Latin .America" ·to 'blame its woes on' U.S. capitalism.

"I think it woul!i be disastrous . for' everyone if the American presence were withdrawn. But the signs of the times say more clearly and urgently every day that it must be a different kind of presence," he asserted.

"It must be a presence that says to the Latin American, more .by deed than :by word, 'We don't waht to be your mas­ ters, your owners nor your fathers. We are your brothers, your fellow humans and we are as committed to the defense of 'your human dignity as we are to our own. We will so 'conduct ourselves that all of your people are better for our presence and not worse. We will remind our­ selves that not only your best interests but our own as well are far Ibetter .served if you are strong and independent eco­ nomically, politidHly and so­ cially,''' the California priest declared.

Image Change Failure to achieve this change in image, Father Kearney said, may force the U. S. to face a continent that will regard the United States as the enemy ­ "not just another Cuba in our backyard, but more likely China, this time perhaps not 'commu­ nist, but just hungry, desperate and disillusioned millions·' who see our destruction as the price of their dignity."

Father Bourret, a graduate electrical engineer from Stan­ ford University, Calif., had am­ bitious ideas. He later moved the Kuangchi headquarters to Taipei, set up the first TV stu­ dio here and trained the first TV technicians in Taiwan.

In the next few years, he begged and borrowed equip­ ment and today Kuangchi has all the facilities of modern' radio and television studios.

Father Peter Li, S.J., superior of the group of Jesuit priests staffing Kuangchi, pointed out that Kuangchi's revenues have come mostly from generous foundati~n grants and benefac­ tors.

"These sources of income are not sufficient to cover the ex­ penses of expanding projects," Father Li said. "Government permission has been given Kuangchi so that it may receive compensation in order to help fulfill its contributions to so­ ciety.

Kuangchi's avowed objective is to serve the moral, cultural and social needs and aspirations of the Chinese community by means of mass media.

In addition to program,pro­ duction Kuangchi also conducts workshops in radio and TV pro­ duction techniques.

Beginning with radio pro-' grams in 1958, Kuangchi entered the field of TV programming four years ago.

Father Raymond Parent, Can­ adian Jesuit director of the Kuangchi program service, listed the achievements of the past 12 years.

Kuangchi has 4,500 radio pro­ grams taped in the Mandarin, Amoy and Hakka dialects, Father Parent said. "We have also ,produced 215 hour-length television dramas, 700 educa­ tional programs for closed-cir­ cuit TV, and had 540 educa­ tional programs aired on na­ tional educational television. We have produced 20 short-subject films, and operated seven radio­ TV production workshops." d~ocesan

Pins Medal on CRS Worker in Vietnam 'SAIGON (NC)-Msgr. Joseph J. Harnett, U.S. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) director for Europe, the Near East and North Afdca, pinned the medal "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" on Dr. Napoleon G. Sanchez in a simple ceremony here. Pope Paul VI awarded the medal in May, 1968. .Dr. Sanchez worked with CRS in Vietnam from April, 1957, to December, 1967. He first came to V,ietnamas a member of "Op­ era'tion Brotherhood," a Filipino Catholic org,anization that sent medical teams to the mainland of South,east Asia. His wife and four children attended the cere­ mony.

glish teacher at Feehan High School in Attleboro, informed students about a Summer study program offering college credit to juniors. It amountedJo six credit-hours toward a degree in psychology, sociology or litera­ ture, leaving each student the , choice of applying the credits to whichever field he' preferred.

Every year St. Joseph's sponsors similar programs for juniors seeking college credits.

"Alienation" was the 'theme for our course. Classes were two hours long and were held three times weekly. The setting was informal: we wore jeans and sweaters and usually sat in a semicircle around the professors.

Smoking was ,permitted, and the professors seemed to be com­ petingto find out who could fill his ashtray first. On the whole, the atmosphere was len­ ient and there was little pres­ sure. Basically, the course was a series o( lectures and discus­ sion periods. Our reading as­ signments included works by Fromm, Melville, Dostoyevsky, Camus, Thoreau, Kafka, Ries­ man and several other authors.

Two 'Mongies' Aside from the usual students on campus there were also sem­ inarians and Brother postulants, since St. Joseph's is directed by the Precious Blood Order. Our class included 31 juniors from 12 different" states 'as 'well as two "mongies" (seminarians).

The mongies and B.P.'s (Brother postulants) were very active­ in all respects.

It was my first encounter with seminarians or B.P.'s and they were very different from what I had expected. Last year, it seems, they had to wear cas­ socks continuously and it was taboo to speak to a girl. They even avoided nuns.

But things changed radically during this Summer, perhaps because we were among the first co-eds to invade the male con­ fines of St. Joseph's. We all took advantage of the freedom, and outside of class we had parties, dances, hootenannies, and movies, organizing many of our own original activities and squeezing in a couple of trips to Chicago.

Like a Family It was really wonderful and after the first two weeks we we~e quite like a family. We were together. I think_ this is something other seniors, as well as myself, are anxiously antici­ pating in college life.' Here in high school we are a part of a little community, part of its so­ ciety, part of its prejudices and narrowmindedness. And if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that we have stereo­ typed each other and have be­ come stereotyped ourselves. We say our lines and act our roles to perfection. But it's about time that we awaken to the fact that we must become more broad­ minded.

Besides study and social activ­ ities, I discovered several pene­ trating realities. One mongie, Carlos Graupera, would not im­ press one at first glance. He is short, dark-complexioned, and quiet, with listening eyes. But he is big on loving people. Car-

los is a refugee from Cuba. His cousin had been fighting in the underground but was discovered and executed. Due to the seri­ ousness of the situation, the re­ mainder of the Graupera family fled to the United States just' one year before Castro came into power. They are presently living in Pennsylvania. Carlos' ,most ardent ambition is to re­ turn someday to "his people" and :work with them in Cuba.

Mass in Barn It was through Carlos that I became involved in some activi­ ties at a nearby migrant camp, where I met Carla Dagalo. My first visit was on a Sunday, and Mass was offered in an open barn at the camp. Carlos, four other mongies, and I had driven up from the campus. Carlos had suggested that I dress very in­ formally-and I did.

Upon entering the barn we were greeted by the sharp odor of newly harvested grain and by a sea of dark inquisitive faces.

The young girls were quite, nicely dressed and I realized they were gazing somewhat puzzled in our direction.

We must have presented quite a picture. I had worn an orange polka dot dress with beat-up sneakers which ap­ peared rather conspicuously against the mongies' black cas­ socks. But we just grinned, walked in together and sat with the people.

The altar was crudely built and there were some wild flow­ ers carefully laid in the back­

ground. We could not kneel be­

cause of the dirt, so we spent most of the time sitting on vegetable crates covered with newspapers. The Mass was in English, but Carlos read the Epistle and Gospel in Spanish,

and the hymns were in Spanish.

It was a unique Mass and I felt very much a part of it, not being ove,rwhelmed by the for­ mal religious trapping of, ' our

Religion rhriving CINCINNATI (NC)-A Brit­ ish priest said here that on a global basis the Christian reli­ gion is thriving and fervor is "rapidly increasing."

Father Bernard Basset, S.J., warned, however, that "neglect of the media of communications with a consequent lack of open­ ness" creates the threat of "an­ other schism."

Speaking at Xavier University here, Father Bassett, whose books include "We Neurotics" and "The Noonday Devil," de­ clared: "I often hear it said that the Church is losing its grip, that materialism has won, that people are abandoning re­ ligion by the thousands - but this has not, as yet, been my experience."

"Far from, fervor declining, I believe that it is rapidly increas­ ing and that all that our parents and grandparents strove to ini­ tiate with so much self-sacrifice, 'has come to fruition in our day," said the Jesuit, who has con­ ducted retreats in many areas of the world.

"True," he continued, "we have seen the passing of the little old Irish granny in her shawl, the parish mission filled to bursting, the Confraternities and the Sodalities with banners and sashes, the monster parades on St. Patrick's Day. "Such demonstrati'ons of ardor suited an age without easy transport, suited a world of poor immigrants, often illiterate, who hardly knew the prayers that they were reciting and found it satisfying to tap out their faith with tl)eir feet."

Japanese' Catholics Get Good Press TOKYO (NC) - Although Christians form less than one per cent of the J'apanese population, they are highly visible to this nation's newspaper readers. In fact, press reports about their activities exceed those about all other religions.

A survey by the Tokyo office of the Lutheran World Federa­ tion Broadcasting Service over a two-month period of major papers -turned up 816 articles about Christians, and only 746 about the other faiths.

World' Stability Hope Li~s In Order Disarmalnent

By Barbara Ward For those who believe our planet ''Worth . loving and saving, the first necessity is to 'secure scaling dO'Wn of the armament ra-ce. On this, there 'is perf~ct agreement between men as different in background 'and philosophy as Andrei Sakhal'ov, the So­ viet nuclear scientist, Lord of horrific reinsurance, a ;ecur­ Snow, the well-known Brit­ ity, in Churchill's words, born . ish writer, who spoke at of terror.

1

, "

o

Fulton, Missouri recently­ where Sir Winston Churchill once gave his famous "I ron Curtain" speech - Mr. 'Robert ~ McNamara, the former Secre­ tary of Defense, now President of the World Bank and the Fathers of the .

Vatican Coun­ cil. In fact, few. p e 0 pIe have spoken as strongiy as the Coun.,. cil Fathers.

They declared: "The arms race is an utterly ·treacherous trap for humanity and one which ensnares the poor to an intoler­ able degree."

There are four chief reasons for the urgency of the issue of the arms race. The first is, of course, the ultimate destructive­ ness of 'modern arms and the sheer, appalling risk of piling' them up-nuclear arms for the Great Powers, every other form of arms among the others-and unleashing ·tl\gm, almost from . their own weigllt and availabil­ ity, when a major dispute breaks out. .'

Incomparable Waste

...

The second reason is the incomparable waste of resources implied in arms-spending. The estimated expense of arms to the Developed Powers, East and West together, is 6f the order of $150 billions a year. This is nearly five times the entire national income of India or Africa.

It is even twice the national in~ come of the wnole of Latin America. It is more than 20 times what the Western nations spend each year on economic assistance..

If every tank w.ere a tractor, if napalm were fertilizer, if defoliants were pesticides, the world could hope t6 feed its people comfortably .by the 1980s -an outcome .which is now in doubt. Even a fo per cent scaling down of the intolerable arms burden, transferred to economic aid, could finance the central needs in agricultural assistance over the next 10 years. The Bible may tell us to "choose life'." Our arms spending proves that we find it easier to choose death.

For it is a choice. This brings us to the third point. The two greatest powers, America and Russia, have enough nuclear armaments to survive a first atomic attack and strike back to wound each other mortally. The whole grim picture is set down with great candor in Mr. Robert McNamara's indispensable iittle book, "The Essence of Security: Reflections in Office."

Just how much '~overkill" both sides command, how much piling up of potential 'death on death, it is hard to estimate precisely. But we know that ~~th America and Russia have

If, however, the two powers attempt to break this awesome balance by inventing new anti­ missile systems, all they will do will .be to escalate each other up to new levels of expensive deathliness. No "break-through" is possi:ble. At such heights of scientific sophistication .there' are virtually no secrets, for the best brains on each side are at the' same point on the outermost frontiers of knowledge and share all the data.

Scientific information and in­ vention on each 'side are so even that each keeps pace with the other. So with each twist of innovation costs shoot up-only to create the old balance of, terror.

The Senate will elect two of its own members, propose 16 others to the Archbishop from whom he would choose four and then appoint four other clergy at large. Four of the Religious priests will be elected and two appointed; two Brothers will be elected and one appointed, and 12 Sisters will be elected and five appointed.

Controlled Disarmament' For this reason, as the Council Fathers, and Mr. McNamara and Mr. 'Sakharov and Lord Snow hav~ all repeated, the only way 'back from' increasing costs, de­ creasing security and the ulti­ mate holocaust of "mega deaths" is by way, not of competition, but of controlled and agreed disarmament: the Test Ban Treaty, the Anti-Proliferation Treaty, a possible treaty stabil­ izing anti-ballistic defense sys­ tems, a general scaling down of arms under proper supervision, even an agreed transfer of the reSOurces thus released to the building up of the world's sup­ plies of food and clothing and shelter over the next critical decades.

To these possibilities, how­ ever, the criticism is easily of­ fered that the Russian occupa­ tion of Czechoslovakia means one thing above all-that the old Soviet aggressiveness is not dead. If the Soviet Uni'on is both brutal and unreliable, the path of wisdom is, surely, to remain well ahead of it in mili­ tary power and keep the edge in superiority of nuclear strength.

This brings us to the fourth reason for inquiry - the new .risks in the wake of the Czech crisis and. the discussion in America whether an ipcrease in the arms budget and a new in­ sistence on "nuclear superiority" are not now needed. But the' point is that once an enemy nation is destroyed,. it is de­ stroyed. Being able to destroy it twice over, may !be a reassurance.

When the "overkill'" reaches four times over, there'· is no more rationality in the calculation. And this where the Grea~ Powers are' today.

It is for this reason that the American Bishops, meeting re­ cently in Washington, stated .SALVATION AND SERVICE ARE THE WORK OF firmly: "There is no advantage to be gained by nuclear supe­ riority... when each side is admittedly .capable of inflicting SEND YOUR GIFT TO overwhelming damage on the other, even after 'being attacked The Right Reveren'd Edward T..O'Meara The Right Reverend Raymond T.

Scientific Community Portrayed in Klaw's 'Book

13

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Spencer Klaw has written a book called The New Brahmins (Morrow, 425 Park Ave., So., New York, N. Y. 10016 $6.50). Who, do you ,suppose, are the new Brahmins? ' They are the scientis'ts. "The aim of thi's book," say Mr. Klaw In Ms preface is to portray the scientific com­ are about 250 scientists who are munity in the United States: very influential in Washington to convey a sense of what in advisory posts.

The government maintains its

it is like to be a scientist in America in a time when science has become, a form of estab­ lished religion, and scientists its priests and ministers."

A scientist may be roughly de­ fined as anyone eligi'ble for membership in a recognized professional sci­ entific society.

There are some 300,000 of these in the United States, with about 100,000 having doctorates. Most of Mr. Klaw's attention is given to the elite among them, and he rules out the social scientists , fora number of reasons detailed in an appendix.

By way of general observa­ tions, he remarks that Ame.rican scientists generally come from poorer families ,than do other professional men, that there is a large proportion of Jews in their ranks, that there are al­ most no women scientists. The graduate education in science in the United States is the best In the world, as is the basic re­ search in science.

High Salaries Science can now be big busi­ ness, as is the case of physics.

In that field, there is a whole new way of research involving enormous and phenomenally expensive machines ("a new ac celerator that is to be built at Weston, Illinois, is expected' to cost $400 million").

Also inVOlved are huge ,teams of researchers. The scientist working alone and with little equipment is ,becoming a rarity.

Rare, too, is the impecunious scientist. Salaries at universities are high, and are supplemented by well paid Summer jobs and by fat fees for industrial consul­ tation. A principal source of financial support' for scientific work is the Federal government, which spends $2 billion yearly on basic research alone.

It is curious to note that the teaching scientist is a fairly re­ cent species, and that only rather lately has science been considered as h,aving a utilitar­ ian aspect.

Once the scientist depended on . his own personal resources or on patronage. But very slowly, in the ninenteenth century, he became associated with an insti­ tution of learning, with a big change in that respect coming in 1899.

Influential in Washington Now the scientist prefers to be at a university and to teach, for the university is really where the scientific action is, one's colleagues there afford in­ tellectual stimulation, all kinds of assistants are available, and government grants are poured into such places. Indeed, there is a new dass of managerial or administrative scientists at the universities today.

The utility of scientific re­ search Is acknowledged by gov­ ernment, especially in the wake of the development of the atomic bomb. The President has his scientific advisers, and there

own laboratories, too, and the scope and depth of scientific impact on political decision are not yet fully realized by most people.

There are also scientists in industry, which employs at least half of American profession sci­ entific workers. More than $6 REV. RAYMOND BROWN, SSe billion was spent on research

by American corporations in 1965. ­ .t But only a:bout one quarter of these scientists do traditional scientific work, and most are' problem-solvers.

Scholars Produce Biblical Commentary Hope to Renew Catholic Interest Scripture, Father Brown be­ lieves, "can act as a corrective to both liberal and. conservative excesses."

Good scholars are more inter­ ested in understanding the Bible than in supporting an ideology, and Father Brown noted that critical research "is not always liberalizing."

Father Fitzmyer added, with a grin, that "the people who are noW' talking about permitting divorce may find that Jesus and Paul are their strongest oppo­ nents."

Reeeives Wide Praise Some of its apparent early re­ sults shocked many Protestants and Catholics alike and for a century almost all work in the field was left to liberal Protes­ tant theologians.

Then, in 1943, came Pope Pius XII's encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu, which opened the way.for careful, critical ex­ amination of the Bible by Cath­ olic scholars.

A prinCipal figure in prepar­ ing the encyclical was the late Augustin Cardinal Bea who also wrote the foreword to the Jerome Bibhcal Commentary.

"At last" Catholics are pro­ ducing the kind of book which the encyclica~ encouraged, Father Brown said.

Catholic scholars have done a lot of catching up in the past quarter-century and the Com­ mentary has received wide praise from Protestant and Jewish scholars.

Help for Lepers , Continued from Page One of the community and its nurse is Sister Helen William of Mansfield, formerly a nurse at the Union Hospital in Fall River and a member of the Religious of the Holy Union of the Sacred, Hearts until her transfer in 1964 to the cloistered Poor Clare community. , At the present time within the Poor Clare monastery there are five Sisters who have leprosy, but all are negative cases. One postulant is now at a neal'by hospital being treated. Once prognosis is encouraging she will return at ance to the monastery. The Sisters also accept girls who have leper parents; this is by no means an obstacle to entrance.

Most Important But most important to the Sisters is their own prayerful · t·Ion t 0 1epers th roug h ou t d e d Ica the world. One Sister has written: "At Holy Mass the chapel exterior is filled with these good folk - and Good Friday we adore and kiss the same beautiful crucifix.

Father said the example of these Sisters is encouraging in present-day efforts to understand and eradicate this once hated and' still feared disease.

Th e t ragedy of leprosy today, say authorities, is not in the disease itself. Rather, it is in the fact of how little its takes to cure leprosy (about $3 worth of sulfone), and how. many are not receiving this cure.

After his stint of, high school teaching of religion-an assign­ ment he found "frustrating" because of the discipline prob­ lem involved in large classes-­ Father Lynch started looking for "a better way to teach chil­ dren the fundamentals of their religion.

In any event, the young priest evolved an entirely new system.

Summer Experiences in .Indiana

~,

Continued from Page Eleven ahead and had three cots cramped flush to the three walls, leaving scarcely Jour square feet of standing room. I sawall this and was appalled - yet Carla was still smiling hospitably.

This was one of the better homes. There were no sanitary facilities within any of the houses of the entire camp, which number:ed about 250 peopIe, including the children. The youngsters start working at 14 for six hours a day, while their parents work on a dawn-tilldusk schedule.

With the younger children we talked, sang, joked and played 1 baseball-while taking a satu-. ration course in Spanish. I felt so happy when: their faces lit up as someone called them. The children ~ere. so inno~ently contented-but they will change when they meet with reality.

King's Niece Linda King (the niece of the late Martin Luther King) spoke .to us one' afternoon back at St. Joseph's. We talked continuously for three hours. She is 17; in college and engaged. Linda is working in six different race relations projects. Much of !Jer time is spent in Chicago slums.

Tensions in ·the ghetto areas were hard 'to deal with-but she knew from experience that drop-in centers" would help alleviate matters.

So she petitio~ed ~yor Daley for five consecutive weeks this Summer, showing him her plans; . old "store fronts" were needed -the ghetto. kids would paint them up and improve the surroundings themselves. But Mayor Daley refused even to con- _ sider her suggestion. I l:\d!Jlire Linda. She is very dynamic and not easily discouraged. I .... think she may well become a guiding force in dealing with the con£lids 'of our generation.

On another ·occasion, three Negro gentlemen came to. speak to us. They were mero-hers of a committee under Mayor Daley and were working rwith the Office of Economic Opportunity.

These same gentlemen gave us a "tour" of the inner city, the Blackstone Rangers and the Disciples (exclusively· Negro. gangs). We traveled through both gangs' areas, then stopped in Woodlawn, which· is the buf-· fer zone between the two gang territories.

Here we visited Wadsworth grammar school, where we spoke with the principal. Wadsworth has a predominantly black stu­ dent body of 2200 children in first through eighth grades.

There are both Blackstone Rang­ ers and Disciples in the school and tension often runs high.

Six Year Olds The gangs initiate members as early as first or second'grade.

Six year olds are encouraged to paint obscenities or gang slo­ g·ans on !public or private prop­ erty. Wadsworth bears many such markings. Older members receive more "responsibility'; up to the point where 13 year

olds are assigned to' murder un­ popular members of another gang. Feuds occur frequently, and it is difficult to keep peace within the school.· To prove this point, the prin-, cipal has bullet holes in his of­ fice and was· wounded twice himself in several "gang dis­ putes." These stories sounded almost too unreal to me, but after seeing some of the less glamorous side of Chi-Town, I had to admit it wasn't fantasy.

Stresses Texas W orkers' Needs

SAN ANTONIO (NC) -The executive director of the Texas Catholic Conference--organiza­ tion of the state's Catholic bish­ ops-said chances for passage of a state min:murri wage law in 1969 are good.

But the major challenge in the state's battle against unem­ ployment is the need for ex­ tended vocational training of unskilled and semi-skilled work­ ers, said Callan Graham.

Graham spoke following a public hearing before the Texas Interim (House of Representa­ tives) Committee. on Employ­ ment and Wages, of which he is chairman. Also conducting the· hearings here were Harold Kil­ patrick, executive secretary of the Texas Council of Churches; State Rep. Paul Longoria, and Gustav Falk, director of the American Jewish Committee, Southwest Region.

The committee was created during the 60th legislature to conduct a study of employment, wages and related problems in Texas, and to report its findings to the 61st legislature next Jan­ uary.

Evaluating the hearings, which were held in nine Texas cities, Graham cited what he termed "four major areas of concern": the need for a state minimum wage law; the need for voca­ tional training of the unskilled and semi-skilled worker; the need for reform· of public wel­ fare laws "which sometimes prohibit people from working," and the need for industrial de­ :velopment in the state, particu­ larly in the Rio Grande Valley.

Complete Change Prospect for Colleges

Trinity President Notes Signs of the Time$

WASHINGTON (NC) ­ Father J1a:mes T. McHug.h, director of the division of foamily }life of the United States Catholic Conference, nas issued a statement calling for the cooperative efforts of homes, schools and parishes in the teaching of human sexuality.

Father McHugh said.

"In their recent pastoral, Human Life In Our Day, the American bishops affirmed the value and necessity of wisely­ planned education of children in human sexuality.. .'

"Recognizing that the primary

responsibility for education in

sexuality belongs to parents, the

bishops went, on to state that

'we are under a g1'l8ve obligation

to assist the family' in its efforts

to provide such education.

"This necessarily calls for co­ operation from the school and

the parish, and a coordinated

program that draws upon the

best resources of each group.

"Everyone agrees ,that the basic ingredient for success is a loving relationship between the parents, which, in time, pours over and embraces the child.

When parents make a reasonably good attempt, the efforts of teachers and others can be sup­ portive.

"If parents avoid this respon­ sibility, the situation is very similar to that of religious edu­

cation, that is, there' is 'little chance that anyone can be an

effective substitute. If parents are opposed, then virtually all efforts are doomed to failure, if

not to tragedy.

Tolerance, P~tJence "The home, however, is not likely to accomplish this 'task ,alone. The child's socialization as well as his formal education are aided by the school, and human sexuality cannot be over­ looked 'by the school.

"Let it ·be painfully clear,

though, that education in sexu­

ality should not be an appendage , to the religion course. It is not a topic for which the religious . educator is merely expected to

supply moral guidelines.

"The challenge and responsi­ bility facing the teacher is ex-' tremely serious, and very simi­

lar to that of the parent. Teach­

ers must be able. to lead the child to a love for life 'and a

certain optimism about living.

"They must help the child to understand that he is a member of a pilgrim Church, always on the way to something better, to a deepening appreciation of one's own personhood and to the limitless contributions that each person makes to the i\amily of man."

Father McHugh said teachers and parents must examine their own attitudes and must "have accurate knowledge of the facts and they must be able to pre­ sent the information with com­ fort and confidence to young people."

He also said parents and teachers should have "origin­ ality, flexibility, ,an insight into the forces of motivation, tact and tolerance, patience and a sense of humor."

MRS. PATRICIA KRAUSE

Woman Worker

In USC Post NEW YORK (NC) - After

serving 31,2 years in Vietnam,

Mrs. Patricia Krause is now as­

sistant public relations director at the United Service Organiza­ tions (USO) national office here.

Mrs. Krause was director of public'information at USO-Sai­ gon and hostess of the daily Armed Forces Radio Saigon prog,ram "What's New at the USO." She received a number of awards and citations for her ac­

tivities, including the outstand­ ing Civilian Service Medal pre­ sented by Gen. Creighton Abrams, U. S. military com­ mander in Vietnam, and the Certificate of Appreciation pre­ sented by his predecessor, Gen. W. C.' Westmoreland. , She joined the National Cath­ olic Community Service, a .uSO member agency, in 1958 as as­ sistant director of the San Diego usa club. She served at the usa club in Istanbul, Turkey, from 1960, until 1962, when she married a Navy Lt. Eugene S. Krause.

She returned to USO in 1965, following the death of her hus­ band. After serving in San Francisco and Guam, she volun­ teered for service in Vietnam.

CINCINNATI (NC)-Catholic colleges, like other institutions, . are faced with identity problems and the prospects of "complete change," Sister Margaret Ciay­ don, president of Trinity college, Washington, said here.

She spoke about the "para­ doxes of identity" to Trinity alumnae and friends at a recep­ tion in connection with the local launching of Trinity's drive for $2,000,000 for scholarship aid, faculty salaries and new facili­ ties.

Even Trinity's identity as a , Catholic liberal arts college for women "is questioned, is chal­ lenged, is subjected to a far­ rage Of criticism that is both creative and at times destruc­ tive," Sister Margaret said.

Noting that "the whole con­ cept of separate education is questioned," she asked. "Is therf some ,way of preserving the dis·, tinctive advantages of a wom­ an's college while yet providing ,for learning experience in con­ junction with men?"

"I do not think any of us coUld sarely predict the exact course to take at this moment," she continued, "but I do think that Trinity cannot afford to ignore

these signs of the times bot rather must explore every pos­ sible option with a view to reaching that way that will best

provide the education that' will

be the best for the times in which we live."

Liberal Edumtlon Also facing change is ,the "structured pattern" of liberal 11:!arning, which does' not meet the needs of all members of a generation vitally concerned with "the social and intellectual revolution that we are a part of," Sister Margaret said.

As the result of a study of cur­ rIculum change, 25 young wom­ en at Trinity a~ members of a pilot program iIivolved in "a problem-centered curriculum with close, faculty guidance," she said, adding that "these students may well'be the human bistru­ ments for effecting a more com­ plete change when the evidence Is gathered."

Another identity '/roblem arises from the fact that Trinity "as an institution of higher learning is committed to an hon­ est search for truth" while as a Catholic college" it has a re­ sponsibility to ensure the oppor­ tunity for a deepenhig faith

commitment on the part of its stUdents," S\ster Margaret said.

Freedom to Seek Truth "Trinity can only maintain its institutional integrity if it en­ sures that the faculty and stu­ dents are not subjected to de­ structive harassment," she said.

"The faculty has the responsi­ bility to distinguish between personal opinion and proven conclusions."

Emphasizing that this ap­ proach "does not rule out a com­ mitment of the institution to a certain value system," she de­ clared: "It does mean, however, that for each individual within the college there must be free­ dom to pursue truth in honesty, in courage, in sincerity, in gen­ uine regard and love.

"Only if this freedom and cor­ relative responsibility are main­ tained can the college preserve its integrity as an institution of higher learning, only then can we really provide for an atmo­ sphere encouraging and devel­ oping mature people of God, with a strong commitment to Christ, made in freedom, in truth, in sincerity and convic­ tion."

Students - Confer On Racism

-

NOTRE DAME (NC) - Stu­ dents meeting at the University ~f Notre Dame made plans to combat institutional racism within American colleges and universities.

Among the / tactics proposed at the conference, which was sponsored by the National Stu­ dent Association, were legal challenges to the universities the federal government and th~ four accrediting associations that set standards for U. S. uni­ versities and secoI)dary schools.

NSA president Robert Powell

said he expected continuing

pressure for changes in admis­

sions policies, support for union

activities· among nonacademic

employes, and curriculum inno­

vations to provide black history

and black culture courses as

well as courses to sensi tize

whites to' the racism they have grown up with. .

The meeting. included discus­ sions among the students of their personal racism and ways to tackle the problem. Some stu­ dents felt that racism is so much

a part of the nation's life style

that an entirely new way of liv­

ing must :be found.

It also alleges that Lacka­ wanna has violated certain fed­ eral housing acts, other civil rights acts and the 14th Amend­ ment to the Constitution, which insures due and equal protection under the law.

Blacks, the suit claims, have been restricted by the rezoning legislation .into "certain' un­ healthy geographic portions of the city," intensifying "over­ crowding, racial segregation and racial strife."
