LONDON (NC)-7William Cardinal Godfrey, Archbishop of Westminster, said it would be a mistake to focus all attention about the coming ecumenical council on the question of Christian unity. Much interest has been aroused' by the setting up as part of over 500 million Christians under the preparations of a secre- one head may lead others to tariat for fostering such study the life of the Church. In unity, the Cardinal stated in this way they may be led closer a sermon in Westminster Cathedral here. A former papal diplomat, Cardinal Godfrey is a member of the council's. Central Preparatory Commission. "It would, however, be a mistake so far as the council is concerned to focus all attention on the question of Christian Wlity however desirable that would be," he said. "From my experience of the work of the Central Commission I can say that a great variety of questions has been discussed - doctrinal, moral and disciplinary, many of which have no direct bearing on Clhe unity of Christendom. "What the Pope hopes and prays for is that the spectacle of unity of worship professed by

to the Apostolic See and eventually to accept its claims. "The Pope has said that the council will take place against a background of militant atheism. Christian unity would be the most powerful asset in countering this spirit of aggressive unbelief which strives to undermine the faith that has been the foundation and inspiration of our culture and civilization." The task of the Central Commission, continued the Cardinal, is "to consider and express its judgment on the suggestionsand they are no more than thatof the various subsidiary commissions. This Central Commission is a very representative body. Side by side are cardinals, archbishops and superiors of religious orders. In all there are about 100 members drawn from every continent.

The prelate drew a graphic contrast between the two sectors of the former German capital: "On one side there were Christmas trees and lights and living city, and on the other side it was dull and drab," . Cardinal Spellman asserted he had been depressed by the sight of families separated on Christmas day imd said that he had watched people waving across the communist-built wall dividing the two sectors to loved ones on the other side. "One of the most depressing. things is that we don't know the solution or when it is going to come," he declared. The Archbishop of New York had high praise for American officers and for the inspiring and steadying effect of their leadership on the young recruits. "The officers of the U. S. armed forces are superior in c4aracter, ability, dedication and the ~uality of leadership," the Cardmal commented. "That always has been so, but it impressed me greatly on this trip, especially so because many of the soldiers did not have long notice before being called up.
they are there to protect the United States and their loved ones at home. They know why they are there." He added that the soldiers are "prepared to do their duty,"

M:ust Face,"Squa;rel'y Problems .of Automation';' ST. LOUIS (NC)-A shorter work week will "do very little" to help solve the mounting unemployment problems caused by automation, a prie.st-Iaboi' arbitrator said here. Father Leo C. Brown, S.J., head of the Institute of Social '"And they're going' to grow Order at St. Louis University, said in an interview much worse in the next 10 that a shorter work week years,~' he Said. ''The only solueould actually result 'in tlon, ,for the thousands of men greatE!r unemployment for some ' men. "You shorten tliework week, and many more women are available for employment," he explained. "Many women are very highly educated, and capable of holding down demanding jobs. "They are women who cannot work 40 hours a week, but find it easy to work 30 hours, for example. And women like these can handle complex assembly work just as easily as the male." Father Brown' acknowledged there was a paradox of mounting unemployment occurring . while the overall employment in the nation was at one of the highest peaks in history. "It is true that there is more employment," he said, "but there is also more unemployment. The demands of industry for skills are out-running the skills of a major part of the population. "The result is that more and more people today can't do the jobs that industry needs to have done." , Father Brown said the problems caused by automation had developed rapidly in the last 10 years.

The· first· thing that must be done, he said, is to make some surVeys of th,e problem, and the resources available to cope with it. "We need the realization by people not yet affected that there is a problem," he said. Nearly every American family is affected in some way or other by the demands brought about on the employment market. by automation, he noted. "Youngsters who graduate from school today have got to be trained," he said. "If ,the kids who graduate from·.schools can't even handle fractions, how in the world are they going to handIe the intricate diagrams the jobs in industry require today?" he asked. Father Brown said one could predict what wili happen to many of the youngsters who date steadily in high school. "What will happen is that they will get married, and they won't finish high school," he said. "And without a high school education a kid hasn't got a chance today."
