CHICAGO (NC) - A plan forCatholic sschool students andteachers to become public schoolstudents and teachers for upto four months beginning nextFall has been proposed to thepublic school .board here byFather Robert Clark, Chicagoarchdiocesan school superintend­ent.

The proposal came in thewake of a financial crisis facingnonpublic schools when the Illi­nois legislature turned downbills providing state aid to theschools. .

Archdiocesan school board of­ficials said, at the height of theschool aid fight, they might beforced to close down all 422Catholic schools in the archdio­cese in September and October-a situation which could over­tax already overcrowded publicschools. -

Father Clark told NC News aninformal survey conducted byeach pastor in his respective par­ish indicated that 73 per cent ofthe parishes polled were op:posed to closing.

He said his new plan--cal!ed"Operation Partnership"-wouldprovide that parents of st:adentsin Catholic elementary schools

The Catholics in the Fall RiverDiocese have responded mostgenerously to the Bishop's an­nual appeal for our lesss fortu­nate neighbors in Latin America.This year, however, the 'tragicearthquake in Peru that hastransformed poverty into diredestitution for thousands of Pe­ruvians renders this year's re­quest as an appeal for thousandsof famine-stricken and homelessfellow-Catholics.

In a pastoral letter read in allthe churches ani:! chapels of th~diocese over last weekend, Bish­op Connolly stressed the factthat. "most men and women inLatin American lands eke out abare existence and are tormentedby disease and weakened bypoverty. These are our brothersand sisters in Christ."

The letter follows:Beloved in Christ:

"Without some support fro~

the state, our nonpublic schoolsmay indeed have to close theirdoors. As a result, the taxpayersof this state will have to accom­modate approximately 300,000additional students in our publicschool system at a cost of $200million per y.ear.

Newa rk PrelateScores CriticsOf Pope Paul

NEWARK (NC) - Critics ofPope Paul VI were 'themselvescriticized by Auxiliary BishopJohn J. Dougherty of Newarkin a sermon at a Mass markingthe 50th anniversary of thePope's ordination.

Bishop Dougherty spoke, atSacred Heart Cathedral whereArchbishop Thomas A. Bolandwas chief concelebrant 01" theSolemn Pontifical Mass.

Calling kindness, patience andbenignity marks of the love ofGod which St. Paul said hasbeen poured into us, the bishopsaid that much of the criticismof the Pope is not marked bythis spirit.

Rather, he said, criticism 'isstamped "with 'all too humanmarks of arrogance, cynicismand outright malice. It is shame­ful because it is an offenseagainst a venerable and holyperson, and because it is not awitness to the spirit, of Jesus,but to the spirit of the world,the spirit of a shabby and sickhumanity."

Faith of PeopleNo man, he said, is above crit­

icism, but every man on earth"has a right to be spared per­verse and cynical criticism."

Bishop Dougherty contrastedhis experience in reading "thesophisticated Catholic press" andhis contacts with his parishio!,!­ers in Short Hills where he hasbeen pastor for a year after re­signing as president of SetonHall University.

He said that he looks in vainfor authentic witness to the loveof God, but finds it in the faithof the people.

RICHMONq(NC) - BishopJohn J. Russell of Richmond hassent letters to draft board offi­cials throughout Virginia, advis­ing them of Catholic Churchteachings which permit Catholicsto form selective conscientiousobjections to military service.

"It is my hope that this po­sition will be considered and thatall objectors be' judged accord­ing to the honesty and sincerityof their beliefs," the bishopwrote.

In addition to the draft boardofficials, the bishop also sentcopies of his letter to PresidentNixon and U.S. Sens. Harry F.Byrd, Jr., and William B. Spongof Virginia.

In his letter, Bishop Russellsaid,. in the last few years therehave been many "heated discus­sions" .on issues of war, peaceand the draft and many "funda­mental religious principles havebeen overlooked."

Explaining the Church's posit­ion regarding selective conscien­tious -objection, Bishop Russellacknowledged that traditionallythe Catholic Church has neverbeen considered a "pacifist sect"

Analysis Reveals UnemploymentHits Skilled White Labor Hardest

WASHINGTON (NC)-Hardesthit by the nation's sharp rise inunemployment this year are theskilled white workers in air­craft, aerospace, weapons andauto industries in the Midwestand on the West Coast.

According to an analysis bythe U. S. Bureau of Labor Sta­tistics, cutbacks in the defenseand aerospace fields have pos­sibly been "primary factors inhalting the growth of factoryemployment since mid-1969."

The housing slump and slowerauto sales have also added tojoblessness which has climbed.from 1.3 million to 4.1 millionpersons so far this year, it said.A White House economist hasconceded that unemploymentwill hover around the five percent mark for the rest of theyear.

"One of the suprising factsabout the recent rise in unem­ployment has been the extent towhich it has affected workersin high skill jobs," the bureaureported.

"The jobless rate for the pro-

fessional and technical grouphas now returned to a level lastattained-and then only a verybrief period-in 1963," it said.The rate was then slightly overtwo per cent.

Unemployment among blue­collar workers climbed from 4.3I:eJ." cent in December to 6.2 percent in May, with the sharpestrise also among skilled em-ployees, it said. .

It pointed out that Negroeshave been less severely affectedby unemployment primarily be­cause they have never beenlargely represented in industriesshowing the substantial joblosses since last year.

Industries "bearing the bruntof the slowdown" are concen­trated in the Midwest, "espe­cially in the East North Centralarea and the Pacific Coast," itsaid.

In the last 10 months employ:ment has dropped 21.1 per centin ordinance and accessories,

.9.1 per cent in ~ircraft and partsproduction and 13.2 per cent inmotor vehicles. and equipment.

But,tragic as this was, it is little incomparison to the daily-life un­certainties for food and cloth­ing and work that hold down thepoor-and make the work of ourclergy, religious members of thePeace Corps, and volunteers,serving as our emissaries, mostimportant.

American lands eke out a bareexistence, tormented by disease,weakened by poverty. These areour brothers and sisters inChrist. We cannot, we must not,refuse to reach out a helpinghand to them. What we havedone thus far has not healed th~ ,unfortunate conditions in whichthey live, but it hS5 ,saved themfrom the clutch of .communism.

On next Sunday, June 28th,collections will be taken up inall churches and chapels of the'Diocese. Having regard to gen­eral circumstances, and thosespecial to Peru, I urge that allcontribute generously. We haveour own troubles indeed. Butthey are slight compared to ourability to help men and womenin dire need.

Be sure that God will not beoutdone in generosity, especiallywhen what we do is promptedby love of the brethren.

"We don't have too many people," Secretary of theInterior Walter J. Hickel remarked recently, "The troubleis that they're concentrated in the wrong places." ,

The statistics prove his point: ~9 per cent of the r)a­tion's area is still classified as farm land although only afraction of it is needed -for, agriculture and ony 5 percent of the nation's population lives on it. '

Meanwhile 80 per cent of the nation's population' iscrowded into less than 10 per cent of the land area. :

There are II acres of land for every man, womanand child in the country, but most people exist on onlya few square yards.

Voucher .PlanThe Dean of the Harvard Graduate' School of Edu~

cation" Theodore it Sizer, has written to The New York,- Times in defense of a "voucher" plan in eduaction. A

group of- Harvard researchers has proposed -that the Fed,eral Government, beginning in the Fall of 197i~ woulqgive parents in a given area one voucher per elementaryschool age child equal to the amount spent by neighborjhood public schools for educating each pupil.

Children would then be entered in any area publicschool or in any area private or parochial school thatwould choose to participate in the plan., ·The parents wouldthen turn the voucher over to that school which wouldpresent it to the government for reimbursement. _ ', The plan would give parents, more freedom to choose

, where their child goes to school and. would provide fi~

nancial assistance needed to upgrade education program~

in all participating schools., Dean Sizer, argues, in defense of the plan that itwould have, on the elementary school level, the sameeffect that the G.!. Bill of Rights had on the college level......a strengthening of all school systems. .

The Dean further reasons that a school 'system isstrongest when it is supported not by, just one type offinancial aid-direct support; in, the case of the publicschools-but by direct aid plus tuition aid plus privatedonations. In this way a school system has total account­ability to no one single source of support. Under the prq­posed plan, a voucher scheme would allow a beginningof tuition aid to the public schools.

The use of voucher aid by low income' families wouldprovide financial assistance not only to private schoo~sbut would be a flexible fo~ of aid to individual publicschools in addition to their local direct· support.

Dean Sizer says that it is true that the voucher plancan help independent schools as well as public schools, just

, I

as the G.!. Bill of Rights helped ,Stanfor.d and Fordhamas well as City and State colleges, but this ~nriched bo~hsectors.

As ,Dean Sizer states, "there is implicit public sup­port (through tax abatement) behind every existing in­dependent school and public control, albeit modest, throughstate and local regulations. We need a spectrum of edu­cational institutions, giving families a variety of schoolswithin strict, constitutional' limits. The public schools,with their base of local-support, will always have a fiscaladvantage. They should be able to 'compete' magificently."

ROME (NC) - Israeli ForeignMinister Abba Eban, in Italy fora three-day official visit, said hehad touched on the problem ofthe administration of the Holy /Places during his talks with ital­ian Foreign Minister Aldo Moro.

He told reporters on the lastday of his visit that he had re­ferred to his statement of July,1967, that Israel "does not claimexclusive jurisdiction and con­trol" over places sacred to Chris­tianity and Islam. Such controlshould be shared by "those whohold. them holy," he said.

Eban remarked that to thebest of his knowledge this posi­tion, since reaffirmed,' wasunique in history.

"This, I believe, is the onlytime a government in Jerusalemhas declared its readiness tofind, a juridi~al solution to theproblem of the Holy Places."

He said his schedule in Romehad been so crowded it had lefthim no time to confer with anyofficial of the Holy See.

The Holy See has been callingfor the guarantee of free accessto Jerusalem and the HolyPlaces by a supranational au­thority.

Eva added. "Naturally I'm sorryto leave. The result.; of our drivelast Winter are gratifying.

Our bills are paid; we pulledthrough .the school year verycomfortably."

It wasn't so last January. Itwas only after nearly 100 percent of the parents of the chil­dren attending St. John's over­whelmingly decided to keep theschool open in the face of a pro­jected $18,000 deficit that therewas hope.

St. John faced the dilemma ofother Diocesan schools with an"emergency legislative com11Jit­tee" of parents. They got behinda pledge Program with a budgetsystem for school support espe­cinaIly for nonparishioners send­ing their children to St. John's.

The rest is history. The re­sponse was beyond the expecta­tions of Sister Mary Eva' and thead hoc group headed by HaroldE. Carpenter, vice-president andgeneral manager of Radio Sta­tion WNBH in New Bedford.

"The children and parents arevery co-operative," Sister MaryEva said at the time. '

She pointed out, however, thatstate aid will have to be forth­coming on a long-range basis ifthe school is to survive indefi­nitely.

The parish now has a SchoolBoard and a new principal (Sis­ter Marie Christine) who, in thewords of Sister Eva, will "carryon the fight against the financialpressures in Catholic educationtoday.

. The life of a dedicated Sisterof Mercy turns in many ways,like spearheading a drive to keepa parish school open one yearand teaching Indian children inCentral America the next.

Such is the case with .SisterMary Eva, R.S.M., former prin­cipal of the St. John the BaptistSchool in New Bedford.

She is heading for· an assign­ment in the Fall as a teacher ata government-sponsored cooedhigh school for Indian childrenat Orange· Walk in far-off Brit­ish Honduras.

"This is something I've alwayswanted," Sister Mary Eva saidthe other afternoon in the bustleof her office in St. John Schoolas she busied herself with theclose of the school year and hertrip.

Mission Volunteer"I've volunteered for such mis­

sionary work a half-l;iozen timesin recen~ years. I finally got mycall and I'm grateful."

Si:;ter Mary Eva already is atthe University of Dayton in Ohiowhere she will take a five-weekcourse at its Mission Institute.A quick trip back to New Bed­ford late in July and a visit toher home in Westerly, R. I., pre­cede her departure for CentralAmerica.

It is a two-year assignmentthat could stretch into four orfive years.

British Hoduras is a colonythat belongs to Great Britain;however, it is in line for inde­pendence in a couple of years.But how smooth this goes re-mains to be seen. .

"There is a lot of communistactivity there," Sister Mary Evapointed out. "It could be atouchy spot in time.

New Mercy Mission"Orange Walk is the newest

of the Sisters of Mercy's mis­sions. It is a very small town,actually a village, whose highschool has 200 boys and girls,a staff of four Sisters. of Mercyand a couple of lay teachers."

Sister Eva will teach religionand art.

Her new assignment is on theCaribbean Sea, east of' Guate­mala. British Honduras is 8,867square miles in size. More than103,000 people live there whichis just about the population ofthe City of New Bedford.

Most of the people are Ne­groes and American Indians, andthey grow bananas, sugar andfruit. Parts. of British Hondurasare low and fertile, and much ofit is covered with fore'sts of val­uable mahognay and logwood.

dangerous. reefs that were usedlong ago as hideouts for pirates.The climate is hot and damp;often the temperature goes over100 degrees.

The British have ruled BritishHonduras since 1783.

Hits Proposed CutIn State Relief

GREENSBURG (NC) ~ TheGreensburg Diocesan Human Re­lations Commission deplored as"completely immoral and cal­lous" a proposed $73 million cut­back in state contributions tothose on relief rolls.

The statement said if the cutis made it will mean a personon relief will have to live on$1 a day for food, clothing andshelter.

The commission statementsaid, in part:

"We are dismayed at the com­pletely immoral and callous pro­posal. We urge all citizens tolet Gov. (Raymond P.) Shaferand their lawmakers know oftheir distress at a proposalwhich would force starvation on100,000 people."

Plan to ~an BiasAgainst WomenIn Fed~~al Jobs

WASHINGTON (NC)-Detailedguidelines to eliminate dis­crimination against women infederal-paid jobs have been is­sued by the U. S. Labor Depart­ment.

The guidelines prohibit dis­criminatory techniques such asnews;:apers advertising labeledmale or female unless sex was"a bona fide educational qualifi­cation."

Also forbidden are penaltiesfor women taking time off tobear children and denial of em­ployment to women with youngchildren "unless the same exclu­sionary policy exists for men."

In releasing the rules at the .White House, Elizabeth DuncanKoontz, directer of the LaborDepartment's women's bureau,called them "a most appropriatemilestone of wom~n's progress."

No Set Rules .The rules, which ban bias by

sex in jobs, wages, hours, senior­ity and retirement, were the re­sult of a presidential task forcereview of women's rights andresponsibilities submitted to theNixon administration six monthsago.

A presidential directive againstsex discrimination in govern­ment work contracts has' beenon the books since 1965, but un­til now there have been no pub­Iiclv set rules.

With release of the new guide­lines the American Associa­tion of University Women re­ported results of its study inwhich 84 per cent of the womenand 77 per cent of the menamong 7,000 respondents to aouestionnaire said women werediscriminated against in the bus­iness world.

NOTRE DAME (NC)-Thirtymembers of the University ofNotre Dame's theology faCUltyincluding university presidentFather Theodore M. Hesburgh,C.S.C., issued a statement hereendorsing the principle of selec­tiv~ conscientious objection.

All but two members of thetheology department signed thestatement, which urges revisionof Selective Service regulationsto allow conscientious objectionto a particular war. At present,federal law requires oppositionto "war in any form" in 'orderto be classified as a <;onscientiousobjector.

Louisiana SolonsVote School Aid

BATON ROUGE (Nq-A'billproviding state financial aid toprivate schools squeaked throughthe Louisiana House of 'Repre­sentatives by a vote of 53-50.

The bill, sponsored by Rep.Richard Guidry of Galliano, isbacked by Citizens for EducationFreedom, national non-sectarianorganization seeking equal' treat­ment for students of all schools.For the last three years it hasbeen pushing for sucn legislationin Louisiana,

A similar bill already has beendebated on the floor of the Sen­ate, but a vote has not yet beentaken.

The 53 favorable votes repre­sent a bare majority of theHouse, the smallest number ofvotes for passage of a measure.

The Guidry bill provides forestablishment of a special fundin the state education depart­ment to pay salaries of non pub­lie school teachers for instruct­ing in secular subjects.

Emile· Comar, CEF directorhere, estimated the bill wouldcost the state about $15 milliona year, or' $100 for every childin nonpublic schools. He saidthis compares with $569 perchild a year, which would ,be thecost if nonpublic school pupilshad to be absorbed into the pub­lic school system.

Ryall contended: "Handwriting. is an exact science, particularlyso because of the careful studiesmade by Europeans." The analy­sis, he explained in detail, isreached by a study of how cer­tain letters in handwriting areformed -like open or closed"o's" crossed "t's" - how thewriting is 'slanted, and so on.

He said handwriting analysiswhich is based in logic some­times discloses characteristics ina person which other profes­sionals, such as psychologists orpsychiatrists, are unable to un­cover.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 25,19708

By Marilyn and Joseph Roderick- ,

It may seem ,ridiculous to be ordering bulbs in June, 'but I have just completed my annual order for the Fall.Gardening is as much a preparation fO,r the future as it ~s

enjoyment of the present. This year we~'are restocking twosections of the garden withdaffodils and tulips, and planto set out some miniature.narcissi and crocuses for the

,rock garden.We ordered two dozen daffo­

dils for a garden which measuresabout four by ten feet. Thesewill be planted in groups ofthree which will give us eightclusters of daffodils, a reason­able show.

Daffodils are so bright andcheerful that they can be plantedin reasonable numbers withoutdetracting from their effect.Tulips are a different matter.They should be planted enmasse, all of the same color toproduce a 'good effect. For thesame garden we are orderingfour dozen tulips which will beplanted in a fish-tail design.

We· are also ordering a fewdozen crocuses to add to ourpresent stock. These we orderyear after year and plant inmasses for the greatest effectpossible. They reappear, everyyear, are no problem .in the gar­den and are as satisfying as anyother plant in the border. '

There are advantages toordering early. The bulbs youget are usually the best of thestock. They are separated earlyand packaged for mailing in the·'Fall before the rush is on. Withthe price of bulbs what it is to­day the quality of the bulbs oneactually gets is an overwhelm­ingly important consideration.

In the KitchenPicnics and Summer do seem

to go hand in hand. When thenice weather come~ along thechildren (Melissa and Jason es­pecially) make daily request forpicnics, even if they're only asfar as their own backyard,

Most of the time picnics area lot of fun; for somehow thefood seems to taste better whenit's eaten in a more informalatmosphere. I certainly don't con­sider myself an expert on' whatto take to a picnic. I'm the typethat forgets the salt when youhave hard boiled eggs or_ theknife when you've brought awhole watermelon.

Nevertheless I remain un­daunted and. I'm determined to

'improve on my piCnic recipes.No more will I decide to takechicken only to find that theonly pieces I have are stm in thefreezer or plan on sandwicheswhen not a slice of bread canbe found in the area.,

Today, I often wonder whythe lunches I pack for the greatoutdoors don't taste so. good asthose my mother and grand­mother used to pack when I wasa youngster. '.

I can still taste my grand­mother's coffee. She used to filla huge vacuum jug with the hotliquid heavily laced with sugarand evaporated milk. I 'don'tthink any coffee that I have hadsince was as delicious as thatparticular brew. ,

Perhaps it was because it wasthe only time I was ever allowedto drink coffee and' this' forbid­den beverage tasted better be­cause my taste for it was sounjaded.

home' and ,abroad and whenasked what she felt were someessential items that a femaletraveler must take with her shestressed a rain hat, rain coat,one dressy sweater, one everyday sweater and just' a coupleof pair of shoes (She mentionedthe fact that shoes can alwaysbe resoled and reheeled, whileyou wait, so why burden your­self with too many pair).

These items, of course, wouldgo along with a minimum num­ber of drip-dry dresses. MissLenaghan also added that be­cause so many travelers carryluggage that is similar 'she al­ways ties brightly colored rib­bon on the handles of her suit­cases, thus facilitating instantidentification of onc's own lug­gage.

One more tip that she gavethat should prove invaluable tothis Summer's travelers was topack just what one would needfor overnight in a separate smallsuitcase; then if you stoppedat a hotel for just overnight thiswould be the only bag that youwould need to open.

Lightweight LuggageThe first grade teacher in our

building, Mrs Arthur Balthazar,has bought quite a few drip dryoutfits and these are the dressesshe plans to use during her en­tire 24-day stay in Europe.

She did mention that both sheand her husband had boughtlightweight canvas-type lug­gage. As they will be hoppingon and off trains and planesthey felt that this, would be themost comfortable type for them

My principal, Miss Eleanor packing down to a minimum.Lenaghan, has tra,,:eled both at Dark Colors

r::::::.::--......;::~~"'~u In glancing at Frommer'sbook that Connie loaned me Ifound that the feature I enjoyedmost was the recommendationsfrom readers found at the end ofeach article.

One letter in particularcaught my eye. It was writtenby an American tourist who hadfound that dressing in dark col­ors never looked soiled; the sec­ond, and this one' could escapea novice traveler, she ,noted thatin dark clothes one was moreoften than not mistaken for afellow European and the cour­tesy she was accorded becauseof this was well worth givinglip bright colors for.

Miss IIda Brum, my children'sgodmother, has just returnedfrom a tour of Portugal andSpain so I felt her travel andpacking experience would bequite recent. IIda surprised mea bit when she said that on thisparticular tour she could haveused more cocktail or dinnerdresses than she had taken.

50a9 Important"I took three dresses for eve­

ning but in these countries din­ner is quite late and quite dressyand quite a few women in theparty felt that they would liketo have' taken more changes forthe evening."

She went on to say that shefound any fabrics with polyesteron the label great, especially forshedding wrinkles. Soap wasanother item that she felt sheshould have taken more of asEuropean baths are quite gen­erous with towels but complete­ly forget the soap.

These diverse opinions docome together at one point andthat is if you want to look yourbest while traveling don't forgetyour drip-dries but add a coupleof extras, just for your ownmorale.

BILBAO (NC) .:..... Protestingagainst recent arrests of nine ofhis priests, Basque Bishop JoseMaria Cirarda suspended allpublic celebrations of the feastof the Sacred Heart in his dio­cese.

Earlier he had said Mass inseveral parishes whose priestshad called off Sunday servicesin a show of solidarity withtheir imprisoned colleagues.

In a pastoral letter, releasedto newspapers and read in all

The nine priests were arrestedearlier il} June on charges ofreading to their congregations adocument alleging police tortureof Basque nationalists.

The document was preparedby five other Basque priests wholast year went on a hungerstrike to protest social and po­litical conditions in the region.

Def~nds ActionIn Cambodia

SAN ANTONIO (NC)-RetiredArchbishop Robert E. Lucey in asermon here defended U. S. mil­itary action in Cambodia as nec­essary to protect Americantroops and their Southeast Asianallies.

The former a~chbishop of SanAntonio also lashed out at anti­war critics demanding U. S.withdrawal from Indochina, say­ing they are unable to tell thedifference between a moral warand an immoral war.

"At times our country has in­dulged in the questionable lux~

ury of isolation and neutrality,"he told Air Force servicemen at­tending a Mass at Lackland AirForce, Base chapel. "But I hope·that we have learned that theeasy way out of an internationaldispute doesn't work," he added.'"Neutrality in the face of an in­ternational crime is itself acrime when perpetrated by amajor nation."

During the Johnson adminis­tration, Archbishop Lucey backedU. S. military involvement inVietnam saying it" was moral.He was one of President LyndonJohnson's official observers ofthe South Vietnamese electionsin 1!;)67.

'None So Blind'Citing the repeate<l. commu­

nist attacks on South Vietnamfrom sanctuaries in Cambodia,Archbishop Lucey told the USAFpersonnel that President Nixonhad "no other choice" when he.ordered troops into Cambodia.

The Archbishop acknowledged .that "millions of Americans" op­pose U. S. involvement in Indochina. But he said such opposi­tion by "so many religious lead­ers, so many college presidents,so large a group of universityfaculties ,and business leaders'who cannot· tell the differencebetween a moral and an immoralwar surpasses understanding."

In a stinging rebuke of warcritics, Archbishop Lucey said:"Unjust agggression and braveself-defense are miles apart inthe scale of moral values, but,there are none so blind as thosewho will not see'" * '"

Quotes Pius XII"The most incredible attacks

on our government and our for­eign policy have been made bycertain leaders in Washington.It is no wonder that" millions ofhonest Americans have beenshocked and confused by thereckless fault"finding perpetratedby· these men."

He said the United States was. duty-bound by the Southeast

Asia Collective Defense Treatyto provide economic and mili­tary assistance to Laos, Cam­bodia and South Vietnam if re­quested.

"Since 1954 our 'country hashad four presi.dents," he said."All of them saw the necessityof giving economic and militaryaid to South Vietnam. Who shallsay that four presidents werewrong?" .

- He said more attention shouldbe paid to the teachings of PopePius XII who, during World WarII, "recognized that sometimesmen must fight. and die so thatliberty and justice shall live."

OpposesReform

NEW YORK (NC)-The Cath­olic Press Association has an­nounced its opposition to theSenate version of a postal re­form bill, claiming it would"force discontinuance of manyof our member publications,"

The bill under consideration(S-3842), dubbed the McGee­Fong bill, would phase out pref­erential rates for nonprofit pub­lications in the second and thirdclass bulk mail categories over a10-year period, beginning in1972. Dioeesan newspapers arein the former category.

"The Catholic .Press Associa­tion has long been in favor ofpostal reform, but we are op­posed to the Senate version,"the CPA statement said. "Con­gress has traditionally 'been mostgenerous in establishing postalrates for nonprofit publications,"the statement continued.

It cited President Nixon'sApril 16 message to Congressthat "the mails will be com­pletely self-supporting except forcontinuing appropriations to re­imburse the postal service forrevenue lost on mail carried fornonprofit organizations andother groups entitled by law touse the mail free or at speciallyreduced rates,"

Telegrams protesting the"phase-out" provision were sentto the members of the SenatePost Office and Civil ServiceCommittee during the recentCPA convention in Chicago. Thetelegrams were signed by JosephA. Gelin, press association presi­dent. Gelin is managing editorof the Universe-Bulletin, news­paper of the Cleveland diocese.,

Archbishop Hurley said thatthe country's "dynamic econom­ic growth" had reached a stagewhere there can be no turningback, no side-tracking or stop­ping it. This economic growth,he said, is "going to bring theSouth African people together ina common prosperity,"

Charities OfficialAsks ImmediateWelfare Reform

,WASHINGTON (NC)-Millionswill remain on "the present in­adequate and sometimes inhu­mane" welfare system, unlessimmediate action is taken onPresident Nixon's revamped wel­fare proposal. '

This warning was issued hereby Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran,secretary of the National Con­ference of Catholic Charities, tothe Senate Finance Committee.He urged the committee to re­open .hearings on the welfareproposal, improve its question­able parts and report it to thefull senate bEfore the end ofJuly.

The proposal's "deficienciesshould be corrected and itshould be enacted this year," hesaid in behalf of the principalcoordinating agency for the na­tion's Catholic social welfare.

New Program"The administration has made

a more than superficial effort toanswer the objections of theSenate Finance Committee,"Msgr. Corcoran said' of the Pres-.ident's revised proposal whichwould replace Medicaid with anew national' health insuranceplan for the poor.

The revision comes 10 monthsafter Nixon proposed his origi­nal family assistance planknown as H.R. 16311.

The new program, geared, tosatisfy: complaints chiefly' fromRepublicans and conseI:vatives,is designed to overcome fearsthat the plan would penalizefamilies trying to increase theirincomes while receiving assist­ance. The proposed amendmentsare designed to in'crease workincentives.

The plan also provides a slid­ing scale for rent subsidies tothe poor, eliminating federalmatching assistance to statesfor families with unemployedfathers.

Needs StudyThe chief change proposed by

the President was for a pre-paidinsurance program under whichpoor families with childrenwould pay some premiums thatwould buy insurance coveringtheir hospital and doctor bills.

Now under Medicaid, suchbills are submitted item by itemto the government-a proceduresome say has given doctors andhospitals no incentive for hold­ing down their bills.

"Most of the changes an­nounced by the administrationseem to be valuable althoughthe legislation itself must bestudied carefully," said Msgr.Corcoran.

He said, however, that "someof the changes are disappointing"such as the elimination of match­ing assistance to unemployedfathers for whom welfare pay­ments will 'be reduced from theoriginal provisions of the bill."

In any event, he 'was glad tobe rid of his assignment. "Forme," he says, "the column hadgone on just long enough; begin­nmg as a kind of romp, it w~s,

in its dependence on bright ideas,beginning to be a chore:" ~

Does More ReadingIn my own case, it became

a chore in mu'ch less than sixmonths and has remained, achore ever since-only more so.On the other hand, it's the kittdof chore that has its own (non­pecuniary) compensations or r~­wards, and, for this reason,among others; I have opted itostick with it until the bitter end.

In other words, I plan to holdon to my NC franchise until thepowers-that-be move in on meby stealth and -take it away bysheer force. I '

Not the least of the incidentalcompensations or fringe benefitsreferred to above is that aryon€:who writes a regular columnover an extended period of timeis almost compelled, in spite ,ofhimself, to do a little more seri­ous reading than he might other­wise be prompted to do.

the perils of doing a weeklycolumn are many and variedf­almost as numerous, some wouldprobably' contend, as the pro-'verbial sands on the seashore.Ray Alan and Louis Kronen­berger, in the quotations citedabove, have alluded to just I afew of them: generalizing from,the depths of one's ignoranceand inexperience about the prob­lems of the universe; turning thepen into a slingshot; making funof popular idols or, in Kronen­berger's words, turning the highhat into a dunce cap; trying 'tobe perky or sassy or, worst ~of

all, trying 'to be funny.Mr. Kronenberger says that

virtually ,everyone, at some timein his life, wants to run the riskof making all these mistakes andothers too numerous to mention,and, 'in his opinion, should giveit a try "if only to have done soand know better."

For my own' part, I must con­fess to knowing better, but, hav­ing decided' not to call it quits,I can only resolve and herebypublicly pledge on my silver ~n­niversary as a columnist towatch, my manners more care­fully, in the days or months 'oryears that lie ahead. ,

First Person Singular, One final point. In reminiscingabout the past 2~ years: I haveconsistently used the first per­son singillar, and for this I offerno apologies. I realize, of course,that m'any people -' includingsome of my own friendly critics'--are strongly of the opinion that,for the sake of greater obj'ectly­ity, columnists .should write ex­clusively in the third person. i

Somewhat taken aback by thisembarassing show of Confidence1n his financial and managerialskills, he had to explain that "inthe paper world of journalismit is often easier to resolve theproblems of a continent than tomake sense of one's private life."

Mr. Alan's self-effacing mod­esty about the limits of his ownprofession is matched, even clos­er to home, by something thatthe well known American liter­ary critic Louis Kronenbergersays about columnists in his re­cently published memoirs, "NoWhippings, No Gold Watches"(Little, Brown and Co., Boston,$6.95).

PM's unexpected invitation.Mr. Kronenberger reports, had"a dangerous lure", about it."Here," he thought, "was theideal place to be perky andsassy, and hope to be ,funny; thechance to turn the pen into aslingshot, high hat into adunce cap; to be briefly auto­biographical, or fictional, or sat­irical; and on occasion to be 'ser­ious.

Or, if it is not their grand-.children, then one must assumethat the Irish and German sub­urbanites appeared on the sceneby spontaneous generation,which would be Quite a feateven for such talented. ethnicgroups.

I do not wish to be too cri­tical of Professor Banfield's TheUnheavenly City. Though thebook is badly flawed by itstendency to push the "lower<;lass" theory further than any­one has ever pushed it, stillraises many important issuesabout urban problems andserves as a marvelous antidoteto those who think that thereare simple, easy solutions to thedifficulties of the city.

He is also correct in notingthat indifference, apathy andshiftlessness are part of theproblem of poverty. The recordof the shiftless Germans andthe shanty Irish would indicatethat these need not be insolubleproblems, not at least for mosthuman beings

Instant' SolutionsOne of the currently fashion­

able cliches says that if wecould put a man on the moonwe ought to be able to solvethe problems of poverty (or pol­lution or any. other problemwith which the nation is faced).

'The only honest reply is tosay that putting a man on themoon is child's play (probablyin more sense than one) incomparison with the' problemsof poverty and discrimination.

To get a man on the moonone had to solve problems ofpower and engineering, whichare well within the limitationsof present human knowledge,but the problems of the urbanslums require skills, competenc­ies and knowledge that we donot at the present time have.

Demands for instant solutionsby militants of the left or' theright are demands than cannotbe met. In our age of slogansand cliches there seems to beno middle ground between say­ing that we have solutions thatwill work- and saying that nosolutiOn is possible. '

One either demands, as do·the young radicals, ·that Amer­ican society solve the problemof poverty and hunger at onceunder pain of rejection or onelooks at the complexities, asdoes Professor Banfield, andconcludes that we have nochoice but to wait for the ur­ban poor to die off (thoughBanfield laments that modernmedical progress seems to havereduced the serviceability ofsuch a solution).

Sees HopeThere was a time when it

was possible to be a social re­former and acknowledge' thatprogress would take time, ef­fort, energy, resources and,above all, patience. But patiencehas gone out of fashion. Instantsolutions or despair-that isthe alternative.

However, one might be for­given if one would hazard theguess that it is at least possiblethat by the time the Republiccelebrates its three. hundreth an­niversary-if it has not beentorn apart by civil war or de­stroyed by senseless foreign in­volvements or choked to deathby its own affluence-a good

field, in his recent book TheUnheavenly City, suggests maywell be beyond any kind of help.

They lack the ability to post­pone immediate gratification forsome future hope of improve­ment and are, if Banfield is tobe believed, destined never tobreak out of the iron grips ofpoverty.

But it is not the AmericanIndians or the blacks or theSpanish speaking, not the mi­grant workers, not the abjectpoor of contemporary Americancities that are described, andit is not even, the nineteenth,century Irish who, as readers ofthis column are well aware,were accused of absolutelyeveything of which today's poorare accused.

No, it is another immigrantgroup being described, a groupwhich today is thought by every­one to represE'nt the epitome ofthrift, industriousness, sobriety,and ambition-the Germans.

'Germans Shiftless'?One is staggered by such a

Quote taken (with slight editing)from Father Jay Dolan's recentstudy of the Catholic churchin New York city during thefirst half of the nineteenth cen­tury. That the Irish could beaccused of being "shanty" iscredible, but that the Germanscould be considered shiftless,unambitious or lazy seems, fromthe perspective of our time, tobe absurd.

The point of the Quote ofcourse is not to criticize the Ger­mans or the Irish or the blacksor the Indians or the Mexicansor the Puerto Ricans, for thatmatter.

The point is rather that noimmigrant group to the Amer­ican cities ever looked particu­larly good during the initialtransition era after immigra­tion began.

Professor Banfield suggeststhat the urban poor of the nine­teenth century not only died,but they died out; he arguesthat since they lacked the am­bition to break out of the cul­ture of poverty, and since thereis no evidence of their offspringstill within the culture of pover­ty, obviously they did' not re­produce themselves.

In Evidence TodayIt is a Quaint line of reason­

. SPRING spirituality begins with Lent. Our thoughts turn tosacrifice, giving, and dying to our petty selfishness. We meditateon the quality of our life. We reflect on Our Lord's passion,suffering, and dying. We celebrate His giving us the Eucharistand the love· which redeems us. Easter celebrates Christ's Resur­rection,. the rebirth of nature, the victory over sin, and our rebirthas Children of God.

Fall, Whiter, Spring are each enhanced by both religious andnon-religious holidays.' Each attune our, disposition to giving toothers-to family togetherness-to experiencing God alive in ourlives.

SUMMER SPI RITUALITY?

r SlEND YOlJR SPECiAL SACRIFICE TODAY!

But Summer spirituality is difficult to describe. The Fourthof July doesn't do what Christmas does. Our thoughts are turnedto vacations, travel, outdoors, and rest. It is a wonderful time ofthe year for family outings, picnics, and neighborhood cookouts.We all need a vacation from work and routine to rest and "recreate"our tired dispositions. But unfortunately for many, unlike the otherseasons, summer loses, that spiritual awareness.

Spirituality is not a season, a holiday or a disposition.For all ,of life is a' celebration-ali of life is real with the spiritof God. We' cannot take a vacation from God or life, as we can­not take a vacation from loving others.

,Missionaries preach the Word "in season and out of season."They need your support all year round. The suffering poor ofthe world are poor all year. Christmas is all year-Christ isborn in Latin America, Asia, and Africa every day! Easter is allyear-Christ suffers today the Way of 'the Cross in two-thirds ofthe world's peoples.

The. missions need your help' this SUMMER more thanever' because it is not ,Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easterin the hearts of ,all men, and ~e missions suffer!

. . . Have a wonderful summer-have ~ good vacation or week­end rest-you deserve it. But please, remember to give to· otherswho need your help all year long. Share your blessings! Spirituality'has no season. It has' but one command: "Pray always and LOVlEONE ANOTHER." ,

If "spirituality" (our life in God with others could be'thought of as having Seasons, Fall-Winter.;,.-and Spring wouldbe easily recognized.

FALL has Halloween and giving children free treats. AllSaints and Souls days remind us of our spiritual ties with others.We pray for them, and they pray for tis. New energy sproutswith vacations over and school beginnings. And nature refreshesour outlook on life with harvest festivals, apples, pumpkin pieand colored leaves. .

WINTER spirituality is' best of all for sharing and glvmg toothers. November means Thanksgiving. We recall our many bless- .ings; share a meal in celebration together; and gather food andclothes to give to the poor. '.

December carries th~ spirit of Christmas. Everyone thinksabout giving gifts to others. Family ties are the closest .at Christ­mas. Whether religious or commercial, carols-bells-and color­ed lights ring out the message of Christ's birth and peace onearth. We say then. If only this spirit could last all year long!Finally, New' Years gives us hope, new beginnings, resolutionsand celebration.

. How to Get OutThis is so desperate and con­

fused' a combination of ancientand modern history, of nation­alism and ideology,. of anti­colonialism and independencethat all clear lines and identifi­able strategies are lost in adepth of muddy obstruction asdeep as rice paddies after theMonsoon.

This is where America iscaught I),ot in dishonor ·but inconfusion, not in "imperialism"but in muddle, not in agressionbut in deep mistakes.

So the intense problem is:how to get out without evendeeper trouble. Those who ad­vocate a straight Americanwithdrawal by fixed dates re­gardless of the consequencesare sure'that only such a movewill compel the government inSaigon to give up dreams ofvictory and get down to thepolitical problem of devising agovernment for' the South inwhich Buddhists, Viet Congandother strong minorities (or ma­jorities) are represented.

Those who see in an uncon­ditional American withdrawalthe certainty of damaging de­feat argue that no·· Communistgroup has ever respected a co­alition and that no Americanpromise of support would everbe believed again.

Return to ConsultationThese are serious arguments

which deserve better debate inAmerica 'than catcalls of "im­perialists" and "fascists" on theone side and "appeasers" and"commies" on the other.

Above all, they demand a newattempt to see whether, afterthe years of bloodshed and thepresent widening of the war toinclude the whole of Indochina,there may not be a return tointernational consultation withthe aim of involving the wholeinternational community in somekind of workable compromise.

The last time this was triedin the grand manner was, ofcourse, in 1954 when the sepa­ration of Vietnam was decreed,

. the North remaining with HoChi·Minh, the South under non­Communist rule. Elections wereguaranteed for 1956 and an in­ternational interest in the de­velopment of the whole MekongRiver basin began to quicken.

This initiative failed in partbecause the South refused elec­tions. Yet th':! alternative - adecade of war-lead one to askagain: cannot an internationalcompromise 'be tried again?

New DioceseVATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope

Paul VI has established the newAngola diocese of Benguela andnamed as its first bishop FatherAmaral Dos Santos. The newPortuguese African diocese iscentered in the city of Benguelaand is formed from territorytaken from the already existingdiocese of Nova Lisboa ,. (NewLisbon).

International Compromise:Possible Indochina Solution

One of the tragic by-products of the war in Vietnamis the number of American citizens-especially young cit­izens-who think that America's involvement is dishonor­able, not mistaken. But America was drawn into Indochina,as a result of nearly 20years' experience of "con­tainment"-in other words,of checking Soviet expan­sionism. It would be pleasantfor the world if the Russianshad no temptations to expan­sion. ·It would be pleasant forthe Czechs not to be occupied.

It would be pleasant for theJugoslavs not to have to arma defensive citizen army to the

teeth. It would - pleasant forSouth Korea not to fear a re­newal of the Korean civil warby a thrust from the North. Itwould be pleasant indeed if theMiddle Eastern vacuum of pow­er on the Arab side did not suckMoscow in.

But the realities of the worldare that Russia is an over­whelmingly large power andeither by fear or ambition (or,more likely, by a mixture ofboth) cannot be relied on torespect other peoples' boundar­ies.

The Europeans have most rea­son to know this and it is inEurope that "containment" hasworked best, keeping West Ber­lin and Jugoslavia and,· for thatmatter, Austria in command oftheir own policies.

For America to consider con­tainment a rational policy isnot a mark of feeblemindednessor guile or dishonor. It is

• simply accepting a fact of lifein an anarchic world where abalance of power between thegiant states is the only re­straint they recognize.

The tragedy 'of Vietnam isthat it was an area in whichcontainment probably could notwork. This was because thewar was both a civil war anda colonial war and Americablundered 'on to the side ofseeming to support the end ofthe French colonial system andthe side which firmly held inthe North.

In addition, as the Cambodiandevelopment has shown, therewere shadows of still earlierconflicts flickering over theVietnamese struggle. For cen­tllries, the Khmers (or Cambo­dians) have been crushed be­tween the advance of the Thaisfrom the North and the Anna­mites (or Vietnamese) fromthe coast.

The various peoples of Laoshave equally been squeezed bythe two dominant tribes. TheFrench stopped all this for 80years by colonizing e~erybody.

Father McHugh told the bish­ops' representatives for healthand hospitals that a new policystatement proposed by theAmerican Medical Association'sboard of trustees, for endorse­ment by the AMA house of del­egates contains "a logical incon­sistency."

"On the one hand the state­ment maintains that the decisionto have an abortion should beleft to the woman and her phy­sician. In the very next sentence,the statement maintains that nohospital should be required toadmit a patient for abortion,"Father McHugh observed.

The plan would be in effectonly during September and Oc­tober if Catholic school childrenwere enrolled as full-time publicschool students, and from Sep­tember to December if they wereenrolled as part·time students.

Terming him "Latin America'sleading advocate of nonviolentsocial change," the journal prais·ed the 61-year-old Brazilian arch·bishop for courage in condemn­ing the Brazilian governments al·leged use of torture on politicalprisoners.

Protest MurderCherge Dismissa I. LOS ANGELES (NC)-Lead­ers of 40,000 California Knights ofColumbus expressed indignationover a California Supreme Courtruling that the killing of a viablefetus is not murder under Cali­fornia law.

The K. of C. protest was madein a telegram to California Atty.Gen. Thomas Lynch. The 5-2court ruling came in a case in­volving Robert Harrison Keeler,charged with murder of a viablefetus and aggravated assault onhis former wife, Mrs. TeresaKeeler. ,

Mrs. Keeler, pregnant by an­other man, it was charged. was .beaten by her husband, whostomped her in the attack onthe fetus. Soon after the beating,Mrs. Keeler delivered a stillborngirl, about eight months, weigh­ing five pounds, whose head wasfractured.

The court's majority opinion,said: "For a court to simply de­clare by judicial fiat, that thetime has now come, to prosecute(for murder) one who kills anunborn but viable fetus wouldindeed be to rewrite the statute­under guise of construing it."

Justice Louis' H. Burke, in aminority opinion, asked: "Whatjustice will be promoted *... *by construing 'human being' asexcluding (the baby girl in th~

case) and' her unfortunate suc­cessors? Was the defendant'sbrutal act of stomping her todeath any less an act of ,homi­cide than the murder of anewly born baby?"

The U. S. Bishops' Committeeon the Permanent Diaconate hadasked the Catholic TheologicalSociety of America to establishthe committee, so that the theol­ogy of the diaconate can bestudied while 'work to set updiaconate programs continues.

The six theologians used theirfirst meeting, held here recently,to decide how their study wouldproceed, and for a free-wheelingdiscussion of basic questions onthe deacon and his role. Includedamong their observations were:

"There has to be some guid­ance from the New Testament.It can't be completely arbitrary."

Different Roles"From Luke we learn that the

Church can set up separatebranches of ministry, includingone for material service."

Report Oil'll S~XWASHINGTON (NC)-A Wash­

ington Presbyterian ministerwho has spent more than 15years working with young peo­ple said here that he regards areport on sexual morality pre­pared by a Presbyterian studygroup as "asbolutely devastatingto the morals of young people."

Rev. William Drury said thatthe report could not help butaffect the thinking of youngpeople of all denominations."Say what you will," he empha­sized, "this document will givelicense to hundreds of thousandsof young people 0) 0) 0) to engagein sexual activities where, here­tofore, they were bound by theteachings of the Scriptures."

The report was accepted forfurther study by the general as­sembly of the United Presbyte­rian Church in the U.S.A. at itsannual meeting. The Presbyte­rian assembly emphasized at thetime that acceptance of the reoport, described by its author as"liberating", does not imply en­dOrsement of the study's con­tents.

A departure from the "thoushalt not" approach to sexualmorality, the report emphasizesthe need for personal responsi­bility in sexual relations.

Urges VeteransTo Seek JusticeIn So. Afrca

VATICAN CITY (NC)-PopePaul VI told a group of war vet­erans from South Africa that hehopes they will make a"personalcontribution to the reign of jus­tice" in their country and in theworld.

The Pope did not refer specific­ally to the racial problems inSouth Africa, which has adoptedthe policy of apartheid, or strictracial segregation.

But the Pontiff spoke to the260 veterans (June 11) on thethemes of justice and peace.

Speaking of the return of thewar veteran's to Italy, the Popesaid:

"Our immediate thought is foryour beloved dead, those whomyou have come to honor by yourvisit. We join you, in prayerfuland affectionate commemorationof them as they lie interred inthe soil of a nation other thantheir own, in the hope of resur­rection."

Then he immediately turnedhis thoughts to peace and war,saying: "At the same time ourmeditation is concentrated onthe malice of war and on thegreat blessing which is peace.Like yourselves we know thedisastrous reality which is war."

Justice, PeaceThe Pope repeated the vision

of the Old Testament that looksforward to the day when peoples"will hammer their swords intoploughshares, their spears intosickles."

But it was at the conclusion ofthe talk that Pope Paul intro­duced the twin theme of justiceand peace. Repeating the wordsof Pope Pius XII-"Peace is thework of justice Pope Paul said:

,"We hope' that you,dearfriends, will make your personalcontribution to the reign of jus­tice in your country and in the

, world. Through this you wilthasten the day of that blessedvision, the day of peace."
