The Most Reverend Daniel A.Cronin, S.T.D, Bishop of FallRiver, announced a plan for' as·sisting religious communities ofSisters and Brothers in meetingthe financial burden associatedwith caring for elderly and dis­abled members. A sum of$150,000. has been pledged byE'ishop Cronin from the Dioceseof Fall R,iver, ~o be distributedover a two-year period to con­gregations represented in theapostolates of the Diocese. Theannouncement was made in aletter which Bishop Cronin ad­dressed to the clergy of the Dio·cese, in which he solicited theeager and enthusiastic cooper­ation of clergy and faithful laityal,ike in establishing the fund.Specifically, Bishop Croninstated that the proceeds of theEaster Collection in Diocesanparishes for 1974 and 1975would be the principal sourcefor the pledged amount.

Alluding to a study publishedseveral months ago by theUnited States CathoIic Confer·ence, Bishop Cronin indicatedthat irrefutable evidence demon~strated the plight affecting manyof the religious orders, andstated his personal convictionthat some significant actionshould be taken. A special taskforce commissioned by the na­tional Catholic office had reoported that care of elderly reli­gious has, dn recent years, be·come especially difficult as costshave mounted through inflationlmd other economic factors, andas the number of active religiousSisters and Brothers has dimin­ished, thereby reduoing incomewhich congregations might haveused in providing care for re­tired and dis~led members.

Maryland Pari$hUnique PlanCuts Debt

BEL AIR (NC) - An unusualfunding plan started at St. Mar­garet parish here has wiped outone fourth of the parish's$850.000 debt within threeweeks, and its sponsors are hop-

• ing it will clear the whole debtby May 1. .

And many parishioners in thissmall town in northeastern Mary­land see in the plan not only anopportunity to help the church.but a chance to establish a per­sonal $1.000 savings account aswell.

The plan is called th& DebtReduction 'Bond Sale and itworks by loans the parishioners

. make to the parish.It began last September when

the pastor, 'Father AlphonseRose, asked the parish councilto help find a "dramatic. inven­tive" way to reduce the parish'sbuilding debt. In the past fiveyears the parish has paid off$150.000 of its debt. but interestcosts have skyrocketed and theparish is currently spending$80.000 a year in interest alone.

A committee established bythe parish council devised theplan which involves asking indiovidual parishioners to lend$1.000 to the parish. interest­free. When 850 people have doneso. the debt will be cleared-orat least the interest on it..

Over the next 10 years theparish will repay 85 parishionersa year by random s·election.

Forced-SavingsThe plan has captured the

imagination of many parishion­ers. One Bel Air teenager mowedlawns for three yeal's to .earnmoney for college. Now he' islending his savings to the p.arish,

In another family. four chil­dren combined their savingsfrom babysitting and yard workto lend $2.000. .

Some parishioners who havetaken bank loans regard the pro­gram as a forced-savings planfor themselves. Each month theywill liave to pay the bank backII certain amount on their per­sonal loan. but sometime in thenext 10 years they will suddenlyhave their $1.000 back. •

Of <:ourse. they will not earninterest on the loan to the par­ish. and o/n the meantime theywill be paying interest on theirpersonal loan from the bank­but that interest qualifies as atax-deductible contribution.

The plan allows parishioners toset a specific date for repay­ment of their loan if they wishto do so. and it will have anemergency fund to repay a pa­rishioner if he needs the moneyback early.

@rbe ANCHOR

Man o:nd God and Holy Week·The Second Vatican Council has been compared~with

all reverence-to a Spring housecleaning with special em~

phasis on· the rugs. These have ·be·en beaten to shake outthe dust that has accumulated over a period of time so thatthe original pattern may shine through in all its beauty.

From time to time the Church evaluates itself and checkson the customs and techniques that have been introduc~d

over the years and centuries. Meaningful at the time oftheir incorporation into Church life, they may, in manyinstances, have lost their original purpose and have becomerelics of another age. Relics are fine, of course, but theChurch is a living dynamic organism with the unchangingand unchangeable truths of God lived in a setting of the

- here and now. The customs and techniques that have be-come meaningless must be relegated to history and the

.present relevance of the relationship of God and man with·and in and through Jesus Christ and His Church must be·emphasized.

Nothing spells this out so clearly as the coming HolyWeek.

Man and God are'set in stark profile against modern life.Holy Week is the procession from darkness into light,

from death into life.Every aspect of Holy Week spells out God's love for

man-in His creation of man, in His plan for the redemptionof man, in man's cooperation with the saving work of JesusChrist, a work not only accomplished once in history buta work taking place here and now in its application to manhere and now.

Redemption is not something that once took place.Redemption is the living Christ present and active in ourworld, bearing in His hands the redemption He has won,reaching out to .associate man with his own death andwith His own resurrection.

This is the design of the Church that has alw:ays beenthere. Hopefully, this Holy Week will see more and morepeop~e aware of what is happening, entering into the realityof redemption, and thus fulfilling all the more perfectly theWill of God, the work of God's Church....,....the sal~ation of man.

Hiding. Behlind the Devil'The New York movie critics have not taken too kindly

to "The Exorcist" faulting it on dramatic and film-makinggrounds while admitting that it will undoubtedly make agreat deal of money. But the psychologists and psychiatristshave taken it to taslk on 'other fronts.

They see it as a set-back in the attempt to convincepeople that, for the most part, they do have control overtheir own lives, can make decisions for which they are ac­countable, cannot shirk re·sponsibility for their own lives and. /

decisions by attributing these to an outside force.People do have many pressures upon· them that influ­

ence the way they live and the judgements' they make andthe actions they take. Some of these can be so strong that.free will and self-determination are taken away. But in mostcircumstances of life and for most people, they are their ownpersons and make their own decisions and take the conse­quences of tnese.

Everyone should give the devil his due.He is a reality inthe world. But it would not do to attribute to him what is thework and activity of the person himself. It would be all tooeasy to say-as a television comedian now says-"The devilmade me do it." This iis a cop-out, an abdication of responsi­bility, and as such a running away fro~ maturity and reality.

Franciscan Brother ServesAt New York Detention

Clergy EducationBoard Named

PROVIDENCE (NC) - BishopLouis E. Gelineau of Providencehas established an advisoryboard on continuing educationof the clergy and appointed fivediocesan priests to the board.

The purposes of the newboard are to advice the bishopabout the educational needsof the diocesan clergy, to pro­vide opportunities and programsfor the continuing education ofdiocesan priests, to sponsor con­ferences and courses for thecontinuing training and develop­ment of the clergy and to main- .tain liaison with other diocesanagencies concerned with clergyrenewal and education.

NEW YORK (NC) - WhenBrother Timothy MacDonaldvisited the new Adolescent Re·ception and Detention Center(ARDC) on Rikers Island lastyear, he noted with dismay thatits yourig inmates had to behandcuffed and shuttled fromone -side of "The Rock" to theother for religious services.

"Tha,t's when I decided theseyoungsters needed their ownchaplain," said the husky,good-natured Brother, a memberof tQe Franciscan Friars of theAtonement.

Brother MacDonald, who firstvisited the detentIon center aspart of the Clergy Volunteer Pro­gram, has found little difficulty,adjusting to prison routine, per­haps because he was an orphanwho spent most of his formativeyears in institutions in Connecti­cut. He came to Rikers Islandafter doing mission work in

. North Carolina.The ARDC contains 1,080

housing units. ·Its inmates areawaiting trial, a process that cantake as long as a year.

"I'm not a sob sister who be­lieves that nobody belongs here,"Brother McaDonald said. "Thereare people who belong here; thekey should be thrown away; so­ciety has to be protected. Butthey area very small minority.The city doesn',t have any otherfacility. So what do you do fora boy who can't fit into school,who doesn't have a home, whois too good to be left in jail andtoO. bad to be let go?

Counsel,ing the young inmates,who may be charged with some- .thing as simple as shoplifting oras seriOUS as homicide, takes upmost of his day.

One of Brother MacDonald'sconcerns as the first full-timesalaried religious coordinator inthe New York prison system isto act as an ombudsman. He hasgone to court in defense of 'noless than 15 youngsters 'in thepast few months:

All the inmates say tha:t theyare innocent, he noted, but whenhe talks to them, he often learnsthat they are not.. "If I feel (an inmate) has aplace to live, a possibility ofgoing back to school, or a chanceto get into a drug program,"Brother MacDonald said, "I'llplead for him in front of a judge.A lot of judges are understand­ing, and ,if they see there is afriend interested in the young­ster, they will let him go."

Greatest DangerTo Schools IsF'rom Within

TORONTO (NC)-The greatest_danger to the survival of Cath­olic schools in the province ofOntario is from within--if teach­ers do not accept the responsi­bility of bringing the spiritualdimension of man to students,Bishop Emmett Carter of Lon­don, Ont., told the 30th annualconvention of the Ontario En­glish Catholic Teachers Associa­tion (OECTA) here.

Bishop Carter charged teach­ers with the responsibility ofproviding students with theCatholic interpretation of theGospels and passing on thisphilosophy of life that has beeninherited from others.

Honest Opposition

"There are a few bigots .in thisprovince who do not like usbecause we're Catholics and whothink that we are monsters andare perpeterating our monstros­ity in separate schools.

"There are some people whohave l~gitimate and honest op­position to the separate schoolsystem on philosophical grounds.These people I honor becausethey have a position and that istheir right.

"But I do not believe there isany threat to our position fromoutside. If we live up tei ourdeclarations and convictions andput them into practice thenCatholic schools will not merelysurvive, they will prosper."

Bishop Carter said that thepresent undertaking of keepingspiritual.values alive in Ontario'represent "IOO'years of evolution',t1edicat'ion"':of our .forebears andrecognition by 'even those whodo not share our faith.

"-If we do not live up to ourresponsbilities then we arebreaking this public trust."

Catholic CommitteeBacks Anti-Smut Bill

ALBANY (NC) - The NewYork state Senate has passed ananti-pornography bill that hadbeen ba'cked by the. New YorkState Catholic Committee.

The bill, which the Senate ap­proved by a vote of 35-16, would,substitute a lack of "serious lit­erary, artistic, political or scien­tific value" for ,the present norm,of "redeeming social v,alue" injudging the obscenity ofa pub­lication ,or performance.

In a letter to members of aSenate committee that had' con­sidered the bill, the Catholiccommittee urged passage of thebill because "it will enable judgesand juries to make clearer deter­minations than ever before as towhat is obscene."

The Catholic group called thebill "the most effective proposalthis year to rid us of the pur­veyors of pornography."

Ask End to Re'cruitmentOf Children as Killers

BELFAST (NC) - Priests inNorthern Ireland have called forCatholics in this British provinceto prevent the recruitment andtraining of children as killers forthe outlawed Irish' RepublicanArmy (IRA).

In pulpits across the violence­wracked province on March 5;priests said youths only "13 and14 years old'h~ve been used bythe IRA. The priests appealed to'Catholics to reject both the IRAgunmen and their practice ofenlisting children.

In a sermon the previous dayBishop William Philbin of Downand Connor, :whose diocese in­cludes Belfast, said that those"who are organizing these mur­ders and training children to dothem will answer to God and bepunished."

Less than a week before thebishop's sermon a policeman pro­tecting ,St. Patrick's Cathedralfrom bomb attacks was killed bythree youths in their early teens.Police are still searching forthem.

Court Upholds WelfarePayments to Unborn

RICHMOND (NC) - A federalappeals court here has agreedwith, a lower court's ruling thatindigent pregnant women are en­titled. to Virginia welfare pay­ments for their unborn' children.

The court, however, did notrule on the question of whetheran unborn child has a constitu­tional right to such aid, a pointwhich was argued in a brief sub­mitted in the case.

The U. S. 4th Circuit Court ofAppeals agreed with U. S. Dis­trict Court Judge Robert R. M~r­hige Jr. that Virginia's policy ofdenying such payments under itsprogram of Aid to Families with

-Dependent Children(AFDC)vio­lated the Social Security Act.

The opinion was praised byBishop Walter Sullivan, apostolicadministrator of the Richmonddiocese, who had contended in ,afriend-of-the-court brief that theVirginia policy had the effect offorcing indigent pregnant womento choose abortion.

Anyplace, that is, except if Ihave to' cross a large bridge.Bridges are worse than park..ways.

So, I just never crossed them.If I had to go anyplace on the

other side of a bridge, either myhusband drove, or I took atrain., When I even think .about abridge,it reduces itself to fourfeet ,wide, with six lanes oftraffic ... five of which arefilled with trucks as big as.whales, ready to swallow me.

In spite of this fear, I regu­larly give others adviee on hav­ing confidence. And every timeI do, a little voice ,inside mesays, "But you're afraid to driveon parkways ... and bridges .. !"

The little voice kep~ nagg,ing.I told it. "I was just being cau­tious; I wasn't that good a .driver.

You Can, You Can

But I couldn't turn that littlevoice' off. It kept haunting, andfinally got the best of me. '

I had to ma~e a trip. The bestroute was parkways. Just to besafe, I picked out an alternateroute. All the way to the park­way I kept telling myself, "Youcan do it ... you can do it ..."

I couldn't.I had to make another trip.

Again I picked an alternate route.As I was driving toward theparkway, that little Lorelei in­side me, instead of nagging,started coaxing, "You can do it.Just take it easy ... believe youcan ... try ,it ..."

I did it! Only about 20 miles,but it was a start.

Having gained a foothold ona fear was exhilarating.

For three days I still had thatconfidence ... but then, I hadn'thad to go anyplace.

The fourth day my husbandand I visited our son at college.,It was easy ... he ,was driving.It didn't matter that we had tocross a bridge.

But on the way home, afterjust a few miles, he pulled offthe road and asked, "Do youthink you could dr-ive? I feel SQ

sick I'm just not up to it."It was a most inopportune

time for him to come down withthe flu.

Twenty minutes of driving andmy . confidence was building.Only my left knee was knocking.

In telling of their concern forfamilies on Iowa's farms, Arch­bishop James J. Byrne of Du­buque, and Bishops Maurice J.Dingman of Des Moines, GeraldF. O'Keefe of Davenport andFrancis H. Greteman of SiouxCity noted that the numberof farms in Iowa dropped by46,000 from 1960 to 1973.

"If permitted to compete onan equal basis," the bishops' let­ter stated, "the family farm wi)1survive."

The bishops noted that theIowa legislature is currently con­sidering bills which would re­quire that large corporation­owned farms file exact informa­tion such as the size,' number,volume of production, and own­ership with the state.

HARRISBURG (NC)-Overrid­ing the veto of Gov. Milton J.Shapp, the Pennsylvania legisla·ture voted to restore the ~eath

penalty for murder.The vote to override was 169­

The U. S. Supreme Court's de­cisi9n in the 1972 Furman casehad set aside the Pennsylvaniadeath penalty. The court thensaid that the death penalty wasunconstitutional because of theuncertain way in which it wasadministered.

Last September, the Pennsyl­vania Catholic Conference urgedstate legislators to explore everyalternative before voting to re­tain capital punishment, butdid not definitively oppose thedeath penalty.

CardinallUrgesPriest to UseNew Mass Rite

BOSTON (NC)-Cardinal Hum­berto Medeiros of Boston has ap­pealed to a priest who' has beencelebrating Mass in Latin in amanner not conforming toChurch regulations to, manifest""the loyalty and obedience whichhe promised at his ordination tothe priesthood."

The priest, Father John L.Keane, has been celebrating Massin Latin according to the tradi­tional Tridentine rite, named'after the 16th-century Councilof Trent. In 1971, Pope Paul de­creed that that rite' should be re­placed by the new Order of theMass now general1y used.

In a statement issued here,Cardinal Medeiros said he hadspoken with Father Keane "abouthis celebrating the sacred liturgyin a manner and in circumstancescontrary to the regulations of theChurch. I deeply regret thatFather Keane has publicly con­tinued to disregard the Church'sdiscipline in these matters inBoston and even in other dio­ceses."

'For, Rare Cases'The cardinal pointed out that,

while English is to be preferre'dfor the public celebration ofMass, pastors in the archdiocesemay authorize the use of Latinin the Mass on weekdays" asoften as they judge such use ispastoral1y advisab:e" providedthe new Order of Mass is used.

The cardinal said he' can, andhas permitted the use of Latinat Masson Sundays and holydays under the same conditions.

. Only the Vatican cim permitI the use of the Tridentine form

"for rare and exceptional cases,"the cardinal said, and stated thatFather Keane has not receivedhis permission for the placewhere he celebrates' Mass, northat of the Vatican for the Tri-'dentine form.

Stating that he did not want"to invoke sanctions or' take dis-

- ciplinary action against FatherKeane," the cardinal reminded,the priest of his promise of obe­dience and urged the clergy andthe laity of the archdiocese "toassist me in my earnest effortsto effect a reconciliation withthis· brother priest ... ShouldFather Keane desist from hispresent activities' and requestany permission' or p:rivilege con­sistent with the norms of the·Church, I shal1 be glad to givehis request my personal consid­eration."

The growers interviewed byBernstein withheld commentpending formal release of thedetails of the bill, but severalsaid unofficially that they can­not support such a measure if itdos not outlaw the boycottweapon which the UFW has usedwith more effectiveness thanstrikes. On the other hand, somegrowers have indicated privatelythat they are so anxious to getsome kind of unionrepresenta­tion law on the books so thatthey may either support theBurton-Alatorre measure or atleast not oppose it if it does notcontain what one called "anygimmicks."

Having carefully studied thetext of the bill, I would say thatthe growers have nothing to fear .in this regard. The bill doesn'tcontain any gimmicks. It's afirst clean bill of its kind everintroduced in any state legisla­ture. In other words, it's aimedexclusively at promoting freeelections and isn't slanted eitherfor or against the UFW. Thisoeing the case, I sincerely hopethat the growers will either sup­port it or at least not oppose it.

Ditto for Pather Lyons. Asone who claims to be in favor offree elections, he can rightly beexpected to support the Burton­Alatorre bill and to urge hisfriends in the industry to dothe same. If he opposes the billor fails to push for its adoption,I for one would be compelledto conclude that he really isn'tinterested in free elections butis using the election issuepolemically to harass the UFW.

Hartmire, Jr., aUnited Church of Christ Minis­ter, who serves as Director ofthe National Farm Worker Min­istry and is one of the mostknowledgeable men in theUnited States concerning the insand outs of the farm labor prob·lem. Rev. Mr. Hartmire's mem­orandum is entitle'tl "Electionsand Legislation in Agriculture."Copies may be obtained bywriting to him personally at 1411West Olympic Boulevard, Room501, LGS Angeles, Ca. 90015.

So much for the history of thisdispute over the free electionissue. What's the present stateof the question? The record isvery clear. The UFW and the

, California AFL-CIO have joinedforces in supporting a free elec­tion bill which was introduced ·inthe California Legislature onMarch 11 by Assemblymen Bur­ton of San Franciscb and Ala­torre of Los Angeles (AssemblyBill No. 3370. March II, 1974,.California Legislature, Sacramen­to, Cal.).

Election PetitionsThe Burton-Alatorre measure

would set up a full-time, three'­member Agricultural Workers

. Commission, named by the Gov­ernor and confirmed by the Sen­ate.

Under the terms of the bill, anelection petition could be filedon a farm when the number ofworkers on the payroll is at least50 per cent of the expected peakemployment.

Any union which wants to beon tqe ballot after an election is'ordered by the Commission cando so by getting cards signed by10 per cent of the total numberof workers expected at the peakof the harvest season.

Harry Bernstein, labor report­er for the Los Angeles Times,reports that while there is dis­agreement about certain featuresof the Burton-Alatorre bill, "spec­ulation is growing that the statesoon may have a law designedto ease bitter farm labor battles."Bernstein quotes William Grami,director of Organization for theWestern Conference of Team­sters, as saying that, while theBurton-Alatorre bill 'needs somemodifications, "I bel,ieve there

Father Daniel Lyons, S.J. enjoys. the distinction ofhaving written more articles against Cesar Chavez andthe United Farm Workers dian any other American jour­nalist. He also enjoys the more dubious distinction of hav­ing disseminated more mis­information about Chavezand the UFW than anyoneelse in the Fourth Estate.At predictably regular intervalshe says demonstrably falsethings about Chavez and theUFW.

Father Lyons did it again acouple of weeks ago in a syn­dicated column entitled "Chavezand the Boycott" (The NationalCatholic Register, March 10) Thegist was that the UFW's boycottof lettuce and grapes is immoral.I don't know of a single moraltheologian of any professionalstanding who would subscribeto that conclusion. MoreoverFather .Lyons knows that theU. S. bishops did not agree withit. He should have noted in hiscolumn that the bishops en·dorsed the boycott at the Novem­ber meeting of the National Con·ference of Catholic Bishops.

I might add, parenthetically,that for reasons best known tothemselves some opponents' ofthe boycott are mischievouslyspreading a rumor to 'the effectthat the NCCB vote on this issuewas either invalid-or, at best,meaningless-for want of a quo·rum. The record will show that'sa lot of balderdash. The pres·ident of the the NCCEl formallyruled, in response to a questionfrom the floor, that a quorumwas present when the boycottresolution was present.ed.

Following that parliamentaryruling, some 16 bishops from allparts of the United States eflthu­siastically spoke in favor of theresolution. Not a single bishopspoke against it. The officialminutes of the meeting showthat the resolution was adoptedwithout audible dissent-whichis another way of saying that itwas passed unanimously.

False Statement

Father Lyons also alleges inhis Register column that Cha­vez and the UFW have alwaysbeen opposed to free secret bal­lot elections as a means of de­termining which union farmworkers want to represent them."To the best of my lmowledge,"he says, "and I have made manytrips to California in the pastfew years to interview the farm­ers, Chavez never suggested toany grower that he hold an elec­tion among his workers, untilthe Teamsters came along. In­stead he used the boycott like agun against their heads, threat­ening to destroy the farmerseconomically if they would notsign a contract with the union."

That statement is completelyfalse-irresponsibly so, in myopinion, because Father Lyons

Heroic, RidiculousHe makes predictions, which

Mr. Mauriac sets down at thetime. Some are fulfilled with un­canny accuracy; others areproved utterly wrong. He comesacross as now heroic, now ridic­ulous.

When he died, 'in 1970, therewas no state funeral; his obse­quies were of the simplest. Asfar back as 1948 he had saidthat this was what he wanted,and in 1952 he drew up specifi­cations for his funeral which, al­most 20 year.s later, were carriedout to the letter.

Discussing a De Gaulle pressconference, Mr. Mauriac writesof certain statements, "Theymigh,t have appeared ridiculous "­to the profane, I mean to thosewho have not fathomlld the mys­tery of the man." You have tobe a true believer to swallow allof this often revealing book.

Father Leo Dolan of the arch­diocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis,an active member of Calix, toldNC News here that, in addition'to visiting Rome, Calix pilgrimsfrom five nations will convene'in Dublin to honor Matt Talbot,the Irish reformed alcoholic whodied in 1925.

According to Father Dolan,Calix members from the UnitedStates, Scotland, Ireland, En~'gland and Wales will join aMass at the tomb of Talbot inthe Church of Our Lady ofLourdes in Dublin on May 13.

Talbot began drinking at theage of 12 until, at the age of 28,he dramatically put down thebottle and for the next 41 yearsof his life lived a life of prayer,fasting and penance and gavehis meager earnings to theneedy.

nition of T.S. Eliot" (Harper& Row, 49' E. 33-rd St., NewYork, N. Y. 10016, $8.95. Illus­trated).

A book such as Mr. Matthews'-admittedly under a handicap­has some value as the view of acontemporary of Eliot's, one whohad some personatacquaintancewith him and has some familiar­ity with the American and En­glish backgrounds of 'Eliot's lifeand 'work.

Adopted BostonianEliot's ancestry was proper

Bostonian, although he was bornin St. Louis and spent his firstdecade and a half there. His par­ents may have lived in a settingremote from Boston, but the at­mosphere of the home was Bos­tonian; and from 1896 on, thefamily spent every summer onthe the Massachusetts coast.

At 16, Eliot was sent east toMHton Academy, 'and from therehe moved on to Harvard. At Har­vard he gave little indication ofwhat his future accomplishmentwould be. He continued at Har­vard graduate school, where hecame hi touch with an array ofeminent t,eachers.

He had a year of study inParis, and. later proeeeded to aGerman ,university. He left Ger­many when World War I began,and transferred to Oxford. Forthe next 50 years, England wasto be his home, and he wouldeventually' become 'a Britishsubject.

Unhappy MarriageIt was in England :that his po­

etry was first published; therethat he married at 26; there ,thathe emerged as an original andpowerful ctitic. \The marriagewas a disaster, and his writing,lid not provide a living. Foryears he was an employe of abank, and later he bl~came, andremained for the rest of his life,an editor in a publishing house.Thus, he always had a full-timejob, and his verse and prose wereproduced in his spare time.

All, that is, except the mostfamous of his works, "TheWasteland," which was writtenduring a three-month periodwhen he was supposed to behaving an absolute rest to re­cover from a breakdown. Pub­lished in 1922, "The Wasteland"

The greatest, or at least the most influential,. of the20th century poets writing in English is T.S. Eliot, whowas born in 1888 ,and died in 1965. No satisfactory biog­raphy of Eliot has yet' appeared. Nor is' one likely toappear for years to come. .The reason is not lack of was a literary sensation, and

it has had an effect on all sub­interest, but rather the re- sequent poetry in English.strictions laid on access to In 1927, Eliot, who was bymaterials essentia.l to such' a ,heritage a Unitarian, was re­work. Hence T.S. Matthews sub- ceived into the Church of En­ti,t1es Great Tom, his book about gland. He was, ever after, a de­Eliot, "Notes Tow.ards the Defi- vout, practicing member of that

Church. Mr. Matthews seems toregard this as a bizarre, almostunaccountable, development.

Repugnant Treatment. In this, he is unpleasantly pa~

tronizing to Eliot, as he is in""much else, as, for example, in_assessing his poetry ·and lifestyle. Eliot was singular, but one

. can hardly believe that he was- the freak that skedaddles through

these complacently chucklingpages.

Certainly he was a man whosuffered greatly and long. Thishas much' to do with the toneof his poetry. But he saw hissuffering from a Christian view­point, and it· is this which illu­mines even the most somberpassages of his work.

Great honors came to Eliot,among them the Nobel Prize.And there was happiness, too, inhis final years. Cynics are in­clined to smirk at his' obvious 'contentment when, at the age of68 and a decade after the deathof his neurotic first wife, hemarried again. That smirk findsits way into Mr. Matthews' treat­ment of the matter. It is repug-

,nant.Aloof General

Another great man is differ­ently viewed in Claude Mauriac:sThe Other de Gaulle (John Day, ,257 Park Ave. South, New York,N. Y. 10010. $12.95. Illustrated).Mr. Mauriac, son of 'Francois'Mauriac, was private secretaryto De Gaulle for some ·years afterthe liberation of Paris in 1944.He was never intimate with thealoof general. but he saw himalmost daily for considerable,periods, hence came to knowhim well.

--His attitude toward De Gaullewas all but idolatrous, as shownin the diary' entries which con­stitute this book. Many passage'sread like the breathless expres­sion of a schoolgirls' crush. ButMr. Mauriac was not always en­tirely uncritical, 'e.g., he couldcoolly observe that De Gaulleattached no importance to peopleas individuals.

Record of HistoryMr. Mauriac, even after a long

day of hard work, took pains tosummarize' De Gaulle's sayingsand doings during that day.Hence one gets here many of DeGaulle's off-the-record utter­ances, some record of historyas it was being made, some no­,tion of the personalities collab­orating or contending with DeGaulle in a period fateful forFrance.

We see De Gaulle as he asserts,"I'm always France." as he com- 'plains bitterly of the UnitedStates and Britain and vows topay them 'Out, as he deals withproblems both when he is in andwhen he is out of office. We

Tried to ExpressChristian Viewpoint, MALAGA (NC)-"I only triedto unite the two parties of adispu~e" and to express a Chris­tian viewpoint on the problemof the Basque minority in north­ern Spain, Bishop AntonioAnoveros of Bilbao said here.

Bishop Anoveros had triggereda serious Church-state confron­tation in Spain by giving a ser­mon calling for "greater free­dom" for the Basques and for asocio-political system whichwould preserve their languageand culture.

and another portion was usedfor the cenotaph which was be­lieved to be the tomb of King­David of Israel.

Building's Sections

Upon entering the building to­day, the areas on the first floorare usually identified with thewashing of the feet of the apos­tJes by Christ prior to the LastSupper and His Resurrection.

Now this area is occupied bythe tomb of David and a museumcontaining the relics of Hitler'spersecution of the Jews.

There are strong indicationsthat the room where the tombof David 'has been placed was avery early Christian meetingplace or church. Inscribed on thewalls in Greek, there is graffiti

'which reads, "0 Jesus! Let melive, 0 Lord of, the Sovereign,"'and "Conquer, 0 Savior. HaveMercy."

It appears likely that this maymark the site of that structurereferred to by very early writersas "the little Church of God uponthe spot," and called by Theodo­sius "the mother of all thechurches."

Minnesota SchoolEnrollment Down'

ST. PAUL (NC) - Enrollmentin Catholic schools of the sixdioceses of l\ftinnesota declinedby 5,040 students or 6.2 per cent,in the 1973-74 school year fromthe preceding year, tile 1973-74Official Minnesota Catholic Di­rectory indicated.

The total number of students'enrolled ,in the schoois of thearchdiocese of St. Paul and Min­neapolis and the dioceses ofCrookston, Duluth, New Ulm, St.Cloud and Winona ,is 75,661,said the directory, published bythe Catholic Bulletin, weeklynewspaper of the St. Paul andMinneapolis archdiocese.

In the archdiocese, Catholicschool enrollment is down 2,779to 46,737 students, a loss of' 5.6per cent. Secondary schools lost660 students and elementaryschools lost 2,119.

Enrollments are also down inMinnesota public schools. Statedepartment of education statis­tics show a decline of 19,638students, or one per cent. Gradesone through eight show a loss of16,405 or ,2.6 per cent.

It has long been thought thatthe Last Supper was held in theprivate home of one of Christ'swealthy disciples. The locationof the Cenade (from Latin coen­aculum, n:teaning dining room) onMount Zion was the center ofa neighborhood of fine homes

.during Christ's time and tendsto verify such speculation.

When the. Roman Hadrian re­turned to Jerusalem in 135 A.D.,after the city's second destruc­tion by Rome, he reported thatone of the few things that re­mained standing was a smallchurch on Mount Zion whichhad been built by the Christiansto mark the site of the Last Sup­per and the Ul'per Room.

A basilica was built on thespot called Hagia Sion, that isHoly Zion, but over the centuriesit has been destroyed, rebuilt anddestroyed and rebuilt aga,in. Inaddition, it has changed handsmany times.

The Crusaders rebuilt on theancient foundations and today'sbuilding probably dates from theCrusader period. In the 16th cen­tury it was turned into a Mosque,

The spot in Jerusalem which istraditionally served as the siteof the Last Supper is presentlyin Jewish hands and is a MoslemMosque. How this came aboutprovides us with one of the mostinteresting and complicated'stories of this ancient city.

Marks CentennialOf Aquinas' Death

TEHERAN (NC)-The seventhcentennial of the death of St­Thomas Aquinas, the great Cath­olic philosopher and theologian,was solemnly commemorated atthe state university of this pre­dominantly Moslem nation.

Seven conferences stretchingover a period of two days­March 7-9-at the University ofTeheran on the works andthought of the Dominican saintwere opened by the universitychancellor, Dr. Houshang Naha­vandi, who spoke on the subjectof "The Economic Ideas of St.T1'J.omas Aquinas.

Among other speakers onT.homistic philosophy and theol­ogy were Archbishop, Ernesto'Gallina, apostolic pro-nuncio toIran, and Dominican Father Wil­liam Barden, apostolic adminis­trator of the Latin-rite Archdio­cese of Isfahan.

and dissents are actions on be­half of peace and, justice whichshould certainly be undertakenby all Christians in the UnitedStates. It would be very unusual-indeed, unfortunate-if Cath­olics, lay and clerical, were ab­:sent from such witnesses.

CONFRONTATIONS: Pickets, demonstrations, boy­cotts, sit-ins, draft-card burnings, silent vigils-the pastdecade in the United States has seen a considerable amountof protest and dissent. The,ultimate protest-an anti-picketpicket-is depicted by Dutch cartoonist Cork. Nc Photo.

In more recent years in this'country, acts of civil disobedi­ence agains segregation laws andof laws relating to the militarydraft have been effective wit­nesses of Christian values ofjustice and peace. It is signifi­cant to note that after the 1973Supreme Court ruling on abor­tion, the U. S. Catholic Bishopsadvised civil disobedience oflegislation justifying or promot­ing abortion.

Norms for Protesting

What kind of protest and dis­sent can a Christian become in­volved in? An answer to that willdepend upon the particul'ar cir­cumstances of each case. But afew general norms would seemto suggest themselves:

1) The dissenting action shouldbe non-violent toward persons;

2) Its greatest power shouldbe symbolic;

3) Toward property, the dis­senting action should be exer­cised with symbolism and withminimal destruction.

During the past two years, wehave seen right-to-life demon­strations, grape and lettuce boy­cotts, rent ,strikes against unfairlandlords, peaceful demonstra­tions for an end to the VietnamWar. These and similar protests

Have these actions been good?Have they helped the causes ofpeace and justice? Or have theybeen harmful to the public in­terest and welfare of our nation?These questions are as difficultas they are important.

To try to be objective in talk­ing 'about protest activities inthis country is no easy task. Ourmemories are filled with dra­matic pictures of urban. riots inWatts, Newark and Detroit, ofstudent protests at Berkley,Columbia, and Kent State, ofcivil rights demonstrations inSelma, of peace marches at thePentagon, of police confronta­tions in Chicago. The long andbitter years of the Vietnam Warestranged' 'mllny 'citizens fromeach other and from the ordinaryprocesses of political and socialchange.

The right and responsibility ofthe Chr.istian community to be,involved in protest against anddissent from unjust governmen­tal policies is basic to the com­munity's mission to preach theGospel. No national institution,program or leader is sacred ordeserving of absolute allegiance.That would be idolatry, forbid­den by the First Commandment.

ConfrontationThe 1971 statement by the

World Synod of Bishops on"Justice in the World" told us:"Our mission demands that weshould courageously denounceinjustice, with charity, prudenceand firmness, in sincere dialoguewith all parties concerned."

But to denounce injustice doesnot mean simply speaking outin the ordinary ways of sermonsand speeches or articles andbooks. It means to confront so­ciety as effectively as possible.And where the effect.iveness ofthis confrontation is hinderedbecause the ordinary voice cannot be heard and dialoguecannot be established, then seri­ous consideration must be givento various forms of protest anddissent.

The action of civil disobedi­ence-going against an unjustlaw and accepting the conse­quences-has a long heritageamong Christians. The earlymartyrs engaged in civil disobe­dience by refusing to follow thelayvs requiring worship of theRoman emperor. There wereChristians who refused to goalong with Hitler and his unjustlaws.

Pickets, demonstrations, boy­cotts, sit-ins, draft card burnings,silent v,jgils-the past decade inthe United States has seen aconsiderable amount of protestand dissent.

Inhis state of the federation ad­dress Father Mayo recited a longlist of NFPC accomplishmentsin areas such as justice, ministryand priestly growth that werethe result of past hope. He calledfor continued effort and collab­oration in aiming at new goalsand new strategies for hope.

"Nothing is more comfortable. than complacent acceptance ofwhat is," Father Mayo said."Nothing is more upsetting thanreaching out for what might be."

But he urged priests to main­tain their hope and stay in thestruggle.

"It is because Christ is 'alwayscoming to us in the future thatlies ·before us that the', Churchcan experience herself as a dy­namic and forward looking com­munity of faith," he said. _

American liberals have neverliked the igryorant, uneducatedworking class - particularlywhen it is -Catholic. The peoplethat Bishop M-oore writes off asgreedy racists are the sameones that Senator McGovern andhis supporters tossed out. of the.Democratic party, while theyeagerly let in blacks (so longas they were either militant orhad Ph.D's and' preferably both).That's a wonderful way toachieve moral, intellecual, andreligious parity. It doesn't helpto wiil elections, of course. Peo­ple have a way of not voting

,for candidates who tell themthat they are greedy racists.They also have a -way of notlistening to religious lel!ders whodenounce them as greedy racists.

Liberalism during the past decade has been guilty oflack of compassion-or, rather more precisely, the strangeselectivity of its compassion. If you were a militant or adrug addict or a mugger or a rioter, then you were theproper object of compassion. . .If you were a black, working It is admirable for the bishophard at being respectable or to accept philosophically being

mugged. His Christian charitysuccessful, you were. not 'towards the mugger is~truly ed­"authentic"; and if you were a ifying. But I for one would bewhite male, when then you had al- even more edified if he showedmost no rights at all. You were some ,disposition towards ex­beyond any doubt an oppressor. pressing charity for those caught

in the bind of a racially chang-ing neighborhood. .

Worse Injustice

In effect, the bishop urgessuch peopl~ to accept with, reli­gious resignation an horrendousinjustice that the larger societyis imposing on them~ He is not,of course, about to ask blacks'to accept with religious:resigna­tion the injustice that societyimposes on them. Nor should he.No group should be asked toaccept injustice; on the contrary,in a society like ours, fig};1tingagainst injustice is an esseptialparrof the pluralist game. Why,then, should one particular group-the white working class and .lower middle class be urged onreligious grounds to make them­selves an exception and permitthe rest of society to walk O'v.erthem without complaint?

, The bishop might argue thata w<;>rse injustice has been doneto' the blacks. Undoubtedly thisis the case, but the question, re"mains as to why. one particulargroup should be selected topick up the tab for undoingsuch injustice. The segregatedhousing market in large Amer­ican cities is an horrendousstructural injustice (out of whichmany real estate men have be­come millionaires). But askingcertain groups within the pop­ulation to risk their life savings,their' neighborhoods, and fre­quently their: personal safety toend such injustice while othergroups (and :usually those whodamn the working class as ra­cist) pay only a slightly largeincome tax check is also unjust.,

An extraordinary example ofthis compassion is a recent com­mentof Episcopalian BishopMoore. The bishop 'is a man'whose goodness, integrity, andChristianity cannot be doubted,and yet his comment on raciallychanging neighborhoods displaysan incredible insensititvity towhat such situations mean tothe people involved: '

".. '. The pOroblem of racism 'asit is now being expressed in theNorth is a combination of racismand economic gre,ed. If you moveto Forest Hills and somebodyelse moves in and that makesthe neighborhood go .down, youbecome very angry. You don'tjust say, 'Well, it's too bad. Iwon't get 'as much for my houseas I, thought I would.' Youdon't quietly move. It becomesan emotional issue and whenyou hook that onto racism, youhave got a real whammer. Plusthe fear thing. You know, thestreets, which is a .legitimatefear. People. do get hurt."

The "fear. thing" is real, asthe bishop himself rElcently dis­'covered when he was mugged.But if he ~o~w knows personallythe nature of fear, he seems tohave no understanding at all ofwhat it means to a working-<:lassfamily, 'all of whose savings aretied up in the family home. Topatronize such a family by tell­'ing it to take its loss quietly (evenif it is loss of everything) andmove unemotionally to anotherneighborhood is-with all duerespect to the bishop--unfeelingarrogance.

Change UnlikelyIn Abortion Law

NEW YORK (NC)-A Cath·olic Congressman running forthe Democratic gubernatorialnomination in New York statehas said that Congressional ap­proval of a constitutional amend­mena banning almost all abor­tions is unlikely in the nearfuture.

In an interview in The NewYork Times, Rep. Hugh L. Careyof Brooklyn, commenting on theamendment proposed by Sen.James L. Buckley, Cons.·R.-N.Y.,also a Catholic, said: "Until theclimate of opinion changes inthis country, it's a vain attempt."

Without endorsing the Buckleyamendment, four U. S. cardinalsrecently testified before a Senatesubcommittee on behalf of aconstitutional amendment thatwould establish the unborn childas a person from conception on­ward and would preserve "to amaximum degree" a commitmentto universal preservation of life.

,Carey also said that if he weregovernor, he could do nothing toreinstate the New York law thatbanned most abortions. That law,which allowed abortions onlywhen the mother's life was en­dangered, was replaced fouryears ago by one permittingabortions on demand up. to the24th week of pregnancy.

In 1972, the state legislaturerepealed the new law and re­placed it with the former law,but then Gov. Nelson Rockefellervetoed the repeal, despite an ap­peal by, Cardinal Terence Cookeof New York, who later ex­pressed his anger at the gover·nor's decision.

"What does it do to your hon·est efforts in behalf of the peo·pIe who work for you," BrotherHerman asked, "If your unen­lightened counterpart in someother company bleeds his em·ployees for all he can get. Be·cause the humanist approach isbacked by most executives inour industry, we should be ableto take measures to make theselesser executives come to gripswith their selfish attitudes."

BROTHER HERMAN

summed up accomplishments andgoals for food service executives.

"The industry has taken majorsteps in the past decade ·to at­tract qualified people to itsranks," he declared. "The upturnin attituc;les hourly employeeshold toward their careers, andthe' growing sensitivity of mostfood service executives to em­ployee needs are proving them­selves 'stepping stones to a newera in food service progress."

Brother Herman. called forintra·industry policing to protectthe good efforts of enlightedmanagement from the repugnantpractices of less enlightenedcompanies: "The heart of thematter," he said, "is that someemployers still hold their staffin SUCh. low repute, the em­ployees can only mirror the atti­tudes . of their employers andshow a record of poor perfor·mance as their work historybuilds. Ten or 15 years ago thhtype of management attitudewould have been called the 'law'of the jungle'. The guy at the topgrabbed of everything for himselfleaving the employee at the bot­tom to fend for himself. Today's.young people call it as they seeit, a disregard for human dig­nity."

In his c:osing remarks. BrotherHerman slressed that a new hu­manist approach could revolu­tionize the industry. He suggest­ed that all executives ask them­selves where they would be todayif someone else hadn't shewn
