Flay B~y State Abortion Change Worcester Auxiliary Speaks for Church Catholic spokesmen in Boston rigidly oppose legislation to ease the Massachusetts 125-year-old abortion law, while in Milwaukee an attorney warned Catholic hospitals to adopt policies on abortions to offset the possibility that the state's abortion law may be overturned.

Meanwhile in Richmond, the Virginia House of Delegates, by a 58-35 vote, passed a bill- changing the state's 123-year-old abortion law and forwarded it to the Senate.

In Trenton, a wide difference

Consider National Projects The members of the Board of the National Council of Catholic Women, meeting on the fiftieth anniversary of their federation's founding, considered seven major problems facing our nation in the decade we nre entering and encouraged the councils throughout the nation to become involved in the sevenfold proposal.

Noting that the United Nations Organization was observing its silver jubilee, the boar.d emphasized that "unless man learnS to work and to live in harmony with his fellow man, nationally and internationally, his technological progress can be his undoing."

The board also endorsed President Nixon's objectives to eliminate pollution and organized crime, narcotics and pornography and the continuation of thc efforts of all councils to increasc their members' awareness of the problems of hunger and nutrition.

Veiled Statues?

Traditionally, the statues in churches were all covered in purple on Passion Sunday, that Sunday that preceded Palm Sunday. However, in accordance with the latest liturgical changes, Passion Sunday has been changed to the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

Statues are not to be covered with purple veils unless the national conference of Bishops has decreed otherwise. However, the Passion of Christ should be stressed during these last days of Lent and in preparation for Holy Week.

of opinions has cropped up among members of a state abortion law study commission, increasing the likelihood that no action will be taken at this session on amending the statc's 150-year-old law.

In Boston, the contention that路 human life resides in a fetus "from the moment of conception" has been reaffirmed by Catholic spokesman before a joint committee of the Massachusetts legislature.

Easing the present abortion law was opposed by Auxiliary Bishop Timothy J. Harrington of Worcester, representing all

the Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts; Msgr. Paul V. Harrington -of the Boston archdioccsan marriage tribunal and Attorncy Edward B. Hanify, legal aide for Richard Cardinal Cushing .of Eoston.

The committce held a day-long hearing on three measures-- to Cl.bolish or alter thc abortion statute enactcd in 1845, and rc-

peatedly upheld by the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Ovcr 500 spectators, including militant members of women's "liberation" organizations, attended.

Bishop Harrington and the other Catholic spokesmen reaffirmed the propositions "that a fetus is a human being from the moment of conception, the legal enactments which recognize and apply this truth are correct, humane and should not be tampcred with and that an innocent life should be prizcd above lesser values and is to be safeguard('d."

The Worccster Bishop added:

"No matter how many attempts are made to give rationale for gaining social acceptance of feticide, thc basic flaw in the argument will always be that it makes an innocent human being the victim of people who' take it upon themselves to exercise God's prerogative in determining who is to live, who is to die, and when the moment of death will occur."

Msgr.

Harrington warned against the "inevitable weakening of the moral fibre of our socicty that will definitely result from the liberalization, of abortion."

"The use of the CSC van was in no way authorized by the CSC," Father Schmidt said.

"The CSC reported it stolen.

Father Schmidt commented: "The CSC took no part in the planning or execution of the disruption.

"Secularism has crept into the Church," he said, "so that the passion of m!1ny Catholics is to be identified with Christ.

something to revive or excite, or make the Catholic press different.

"One of the very interesting ways that the Catholic press responded was to act like a child who grew up to spank its own mother. So the Catholic press began adopting a very critical attitude toward the Church printing barbed vie~s, exciting controversy and considering itself as almost outside the Church."

Archbishop Sheen said this "critical attitude" has caused the people to become confused. The ~ews for the most part, he said, IS seldom ."elevating" and news r~pres~nting the "truly" progressive Side of the Church is given rarely.

He wondered if we should have a Catholic press. As for controversy, should the Catholic press ignore it? : "No," the Archbishop replied fIrmly. "It is rather that the first principle should be communication of news, but secondly we've got something to sell so we should sell it. Now the seiling of this would involve an' amount of controversy. All that I'm opposed to is the stress on controversy and that is where the. Catholic press has. gone wrong."

Grants Saturday ,Mass Permission To All Dioceses WASHINGTON (NC) The Vatican has given the heads of all U. S. dioceses and archdioceses permission to adopt at will the Sunday-onSaturday Mass program.

Until now, permission had to be sought on an individual diocesan basis. The head of a diocese had to request permission to use the new arrangement within his own jurisdiction.

Granting of automatic permission by the Vatican was announced here by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Sunday-on-Saturday concept allows a Catholic to fulfill . his Sunday and holy day Mass attendance obligation by going to Mass on Saturday evening instead, or on the evening before a holy day of obligation.

A spot check by NC News has disclosed that more than 60 of the 162 dioceses and archdioceses, including several Easternrite jurisdictions, already are using the practice.

The bishops' conference said the faculty is to be exercised by the head of a diocese only when, in his judgment, it would be in keeping with pastoral need or advantage.

Three Masses Father Edwin B. Neill, Conference associate general secretary, said the Vatican gave blanket permission on its own, without any formal conference request.

He said the matter was discussed at the semiannual meeting in Chicago in April 1967, after a number of dioceses had received individual permission to start the program., At that timE!, the' bishops had ;indicated they ,had. ho ,objectl6ns tei the program, but preferred to leave the asking up to each diocesan bishop.

The Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy gave the blanket permission. At the same time, the Congregation for the Sacraments gave U. S. bishop;:; permission to let their priests say three Masses on Saturday. Such permission means a priest can offer both the regular Saturday weekday Mass and, later the ;:;ame day, celebrate Sunday Mass.

Chicago Teachers Get Pay Increase

I

CHICAGO (NC) - A 10 per cent increase in elementary schOOl lay teacher salaries and a 50 per cent increase in Sisters' stipends will go into effect next September throughout the Chicago archdiocese.

The Archdiocesan School Board approved a $6,633 starting salary for fully accredited lay ,teachers and a $3,000 annual Religious Sisters' stipend.

The board also approved an additional $300 per year for fully accredited lay teachers with a master's degree, a revised sick leave policy, and $180 per year for hospitalization costs for Sisters. The estimated increase in the payroll for teachers for 1970-1971 will be $2.5 million.

The current payroll is $21,405,517.

Plan to Merge School Systems

By Dorothy Eastman

CANBERRA (NC)-A plan to merge government and mission schools in the territory of PapuaNew Guinea into one educational system was announced by Minister for External Territories C. E. Barnes.

Barnes said the plan was recommended by the territory's education advisory committee in order to use the educational resources ~here more effectively and to raise the standards of education.

Under the plan, mission schools are, permitted to decide whether they will participate in the unto fied system and will be given ample time to make such Qecisions.

Barnes said the new system will add $7 million to the PapuaNew Guinea territory's education bill by 1972-73. He said it will provide greater government support for mission schools entering the new system and at the same time safeguard the identity of the schools and their rights to religious teaching.

Under the plan, Barnes explained, the administration will pay mission teachers who are members of the new unified teaching service the same basic salaries paid to the teachers in government schools. The administration will also pay a proportion of the salaries and give grants-in-aid to other teachers at mission schools that meet prescribed conditions, he added.

From his office in' t.he Taunton Municipal Drug Commission Headquarters Rev. James W. Clark can look down on the Taunton Grecn, bustling with traffic in the late winter sunshine.

Father Clark was appointed Chairman 'of Taunton's Munici""~ ,,* pal Drug Commission last June.

The Commission is unique in that ~.,{. it is the only one in the southeast Massachusetts area that is ~ supported by city funds.

On October first an office was opened for the Commission in the Crocker Building on the Green and it is open Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 4:30.

Father Clark spends a part of each of his busy days at the office where he is available' for counseling.

All civic organizations in the city have appointed members to work closely with the drug com· mission in an attempt to deal with drug education.

The Taunton Drug Commission recently hosted city drug commission representatives fJi'Om New Bedford, Fall River and Attleboro to further a program of regionalization, helping to learn from lone another's experiences.

"I think it's important that we not duplicate our efforts but be united in our effort and work," Father Clark stated.

Treatment Center: To this end Representative Theodore Aleixo recently petitioned the state legisla~re on behalf of the Drug Commission to request a special committee of legislators to investigate the feasibility of setting up an In Patient and Out Patient Drug Treatment Center on the grounds of the Taunton State Hospital by the end of 1971.

Father Clark recently testified before the committee and has been assured' of a report within 60 days.

The Commission considers rehabilitation a vital part of their work. They consult, frequently with Marathon House residents, and a graduate of Marathon House has been employed on a full time basis by the city.

Larry Ajar will operate from a drop in center that will soon be opened in a central location in down-town Taunton. He win be available for group counseling of the type that is conducted with great success as part of the Marathon House program at La Salette Shrine grounds in Attleboro.

When a boy is brought into court in Taunton on a drug abuse charge he is given the opportunity before sentencing of talking over his problems in counseling sessions with Father Clark. "Most accept this offer," Father states.

Court Conces!Jlolll The court allows Father Clark to counsel the addict and upon his recommendations is willing to continue or to drop a case.

"The addict is faced with a choice," Father says "between· rehabilitation or incarceration.

One helps and the other destroys a human being."

"The use and abuse of drugs has unfortunately become a part of the teen culture and it must not be allowed to remain as such," he said.

"The pathetic hands that push drugs must be replaced hy the determined hands that reject them. It is my firm belief that the growth of drug addiction would be contained and controlled if more teen agers and young adults would react in a positive way hoth in wo,rd and in deed."

"For the work of every person must be the well being of every other person. The hour is already late," he stated, "and the need is all too evident. Life is only worthwhile if each man is my friend."

Meeting Discusses Obstacles to Peace ROME (NC) - Conscientious objection, the "just war" and the alleged recent atrocities in Brazil were discussed by an international commission meeting in Rome.

Gathering at the headquarters of the Pontifical Commission for Justice' and Peace, the 30 delegates from 20 nations' on five continents were given the task of reflecting "on the more important issues which are obnacles to universal peace."

A spokesman for the sponsors, the justice and peace commission, stated that human rights was one of the major areas of concern, specifically the "promotion of an international juridical body for the protection of human rights and their evident violation, such as the atrocities in Brazil."

Conant and Kennedy

As regards social imbalance in the schools, members of the hoard acknowledged "the injustirc of thc de facto segregation in many schools today, found as it is in the north, south, east and west. We commend those who have tried so valiantly to make the 1954 Supreme Court decision on integrated schools a reality. But the fact that the injustice continues at this late date leads us to reconsider the whole problem.

Aware of the new emphasis on the beauty of sexuality as a gift of God reflecting the Church's desire to bring our young men and women a recoginition of their important partnership with God in the act of procreation induce the NCCW board members to list Human Sexuality as their sixth project in their over-all program.

Rodericks Decide to Ba·nish All Televisioin' to Bedrooms.

By Joseph and Marilyn

'Giondhi's Truth' Wins Book Prize

Rodeli~ck

We have made a crucial decision to preserve the sanity of the inhabitants of our home: all television will be relegated to bedrooms, i.e., there will be no television viewing in the living room, family rOQm or any place other than the bedr~oms. This means D'Adamo, has put up a display that we have had to invest that makes one want to spend in an additional portable TV St. Patrick's Day in the Emerald so that we now have port- Isle. Even though I heard ables in the girls' room, in Jason's room and in our own room, all of which are pretty much out of earshot of the central living areas of our home.

This may seem like an extravagance, but it is a small investment in terms of peace and tranquility. Aside from the fact that we have been warned of the iIIeffects of the high decibel level of modern living, out-of-the-way TV is guaranteed to prevent frayed nerves. With the television in a central location and with the children arguing, the dish washer running, someone on the telephone, etc., life is hardly bearable in the small houses in which most of us live.

Just Sit The immediate effect of bedroom television viewing is that O:1e can read a book without being interrupted by a blaring commercial, or sit quietly and think, or jus~ sit in a stupor after the day's activities.

But most of all it means that the television viewing we do as Individuals does not interfere with the interests of the rest of the family. For instance, my television viewing is limited almost entirely to sports events and old movies, while Marilyn watches only a show or· two oa week.

The children on the other hand are full-fledged watchers and miss very little thl;lt is on between six and eight-thirty every night. This is probably the most exhausting time of the day for parents and the quiet that results from having the children in their rooms watching TV is worth untold gold.

Should one of the children decide not to watch there is nothing to keep her or him from coming downstairs and reading a book, or doing homework, or merely sitting and talking with a parent without having to scream over a flickering, blaring program.

There is nothing new in this.

The radio had a place of preeminence in most homes when it first had mass circulation and then was slowly withdrawn from the center of the house to take its place' on a bookstand or some other secluded spot; so too the television seems to be going the same route.

In the Kitchen As I've mentioned before in this column the children in my class at school have each chosen a country for their own and all during the year gather as much material as possible on their country. Each has the opportunity to put up a bulletin board displaying the material he has gathered and all in all everyone in the class, especially the teach: er, has enjoyed the project to its fullest.

nothing but good of this beautiful land from my mother and grandmother as I was growing up, I don't really think I got the urge to visit there until I was steeped in Irish lore by all the information Paul has been bringing in to class.

Supreme Court Rejects Albortion Case Appeal WASHINGTON (NC) - Sidestepping involvement in the widening controversy over abortion laws, the U. S. Supreme Court let stand a California Supreme Court ruling holding the state's 120-year-old abortion law unconstitutional.

The nation's highest court had no comment in rejecting an appeal from Camornia Atty. Gen. Thomas C. Lynch from the California high court ruling.

The old California law prohibited abortions except when "necessary to preserve" the .expectant mother:'s life. The California court by a 4-3 ruling held the "necessary to preserve" phrase was too' vague for a physician to know when he was acting legally or illegally. The court also questioned the right of a state to interfere with a woman's "right to lifc and to choose whether to bear children."

St. Ignatius Guild The St. Ignatius Guild of Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River will conduct an open meeting at 8 on Monday night in the school's auditorium.

Mrs. Albert Auclair, chairman has announced that the program will consist of a talk and discussion by guests from Marathon House.

Urges Churches To Speak Out On .Terrorism SOUTH ORANGE (NC)- '

Christian churches ha ve been urged not' to remain silent .in face of increasing attacks

by Arab terrorists on civilians.

Issuing the plea was an official of theU. S..Bishops' Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations which warned: "To keep silent could only lend encouragement to the reckless and violent."

It was signed by Father Edward H. Flannery, executive secretary of the secretariat In the statement, the priest prOtested the "crescendo of terrorism" of Arab guerillas in the Middle East crisis.

Father Flannery said later, in a clarification, that his statement was a personal statement issued in his own name and not by the secretariat itself.

He called on the churches and the world community to demand that the Arab nations take immediate steps to bring about an end to such activities.

Second Statement Noting that Christians are expected to exercise "their civilizing and healing role" in society, the statement declared: .

"Be it against the onslaughts of an Attila in. the fifth century or the bombing of a plane full of innocents in the 20th, they must cry out for justice, mercy and for peace."

It marked the second time in' as many weeks that Fat.her Flannery has signed a statement concerning the growing attacks of Arab terrori!its who have been blamed for, among other atrocities, placing a bomb aboard ~n Israeli 'bound airliner which 'exploded, killing 47 persons. .

Accomplices in 'Crimes The priest, also a member of the Institute for Judaeo-Christian Studies at Seton Hall University here, was one of several signers of an institute statement released Feb. 24. It suggested that all welfare organizations withdraw support from Arab refugee camps unable to guarantee the camps won't be used for "train.. ing in hatred and violence." , . Decrying the recent Arab atrocities. and expressing condolences for the Jewish victims of the attacks, he stressed that more is needed than condemnation and sympathy.

BELLEVILLE (NC) - The priests' senate of this Illinois see has given a vote of confidenc~ to two diocesan officials who had been asked to resign by one 0\ its own members.

Father James Genisio, elected to the senate as a representative of the East St. Louis deanery in November, had urged that Msgr.

Leonard Bauer, vicar general for II years, and Father Bernard Sullivan, chancellor' for three years, resign their posts.

A resolution passed at this month's senate meeting stated that "being full aware of the weighty responsibility" of the vicar· general and the chancellor "and cognizant of their human limitations, but recognizing the many, years of their loyal and faithful service to the priests and people of the diocese, we, the priests' senate, pledge our support to them and the offices they hold in the diocese."

Tbe resolution also recommended to Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste of Belleville "that no consideration whatever be given to. charges and accusations made by anyone who chooses to ignore existing channels," such as a diocesan mediation board estab: Iished for arbitration of grievances.

Father Genisio, chairman of the history and speech department at Assumption High School, had charged in a Sunday sermon that Msgr. Bauer and Father Sullivan were "too narrow of imagination, too limited of vision, too chained to the boilds of man- , made: legalism." He said .they were "too overwhelmed by the staggering effects of total craven submission to various types of supposed all-knowing and ,all-, wise authority.'''' .' ',. . , ! .: - .,' ~

CHICAGO (NC) - Open House Sunday, a venture designed to acquaint the public with the quality plus the needs of Catholic schools in Illinois, has been hailed as a success.

An NC News spot survey of the state's six dioceses revealed that Catholic schools were visited by state and local officials, public school administrators and teachers, and non-Catholic as well as Catholic parents.

A sizeable number o( persons reportedly crowded into Catholic schools, many of which held regular classes stressing the common subjects, such as civics, math and science, taught in both public and nonpublic schools.

Some schools displayed science fairs and other special academic projects.' Still others held assemblies 'at which speakers pointed out that if Catholic schools are to continue, they will need public assistance.

Of the 2.7 million elementary and secondary students in the state, approximately 448,000, one out of six, attend nonpublic schools.

Lift for Morale Reaction to Open House Sun路 day was generally good in all six Sees, the Chicago archdiocese and the Belleville, Joliet, Peoria, Rockford and Springfield dioceses. Comments ranged from "satisfaction" expressed by school officials in Belleville, to elated principals in Peoria exclaiming they were "floored" by the favorable response.

Auxiliary Bishop William E. McManus of Chicago, chairman of the school department of the Illinois Catholic Conference, described the event as a "great lift for the morale of our teachers, parents and students."

"I've never witnessed more enthusiasm for the cause of Catholic education than I saw yesterday in the schools I visited," declared the bishop. "Those who have predicted Catholic. schools are dying or are dead will now have to sing. a different tune."

The project, believed to be the first of its kind held in the country, was tied closely to the state Catholic conference's. efforts to obtain $32 million in state ahid for nonpublic schools.

Science, Religion-Both Search for Truth Catholic Students' See No Conflict WASHINGTON (NC)' - Ten Catholic students amdng 40 finalists in a nationwide science talent search s'ee no conflict' between science and religion.

A scientist's work reveals "what God has already done," said Larry Morrell, 17, a member of St. Helen's Parish in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. "It's as simple as that."

"Science is a search for truth and so is religion. I don't think there can be a conflict," added Christine Padesky, 16, of Marshalltown, Iowa.

Today's complex scientific discoveries. demand "more perseverance" in honest religious questioning, believes James Litton, Jr., 17, a member of Our Lady of Loretto Parish in Hometown, III. "We surVived Darwin and his theory of evolution, and we'll survive creating life in a test tube," he said.

Red Magazir.e Accuses Bishop BONN (NC) -- A communist weekly in Yugoslavia has accused a bishop of World War II collaboration with the nazis, embezzlement and inducing priests to violate the secrecy of the confessional.

The Zagreb weekly Vjesnik u Srijedu (Wednesday Messenger), published by the Socialist Federation of the Working People, a communist front composed of various groups, made the charges against Bishop Stjepan Baeuerlein of Djakovo i Srijem.

The article was based on a white paper drawn up in 1968 by the pro-government Peace Priests' movement and given to the apostolic delegate in Belgrade. Because there was' no Vatican reply to the document, the weekly said, the priests have decided to publish it in the press.

The charges 'against Bishop Baeuerlein, who has German ancestors, include collaboration with German and Croatian fascists during World War II, persecution of Peace Priests, hostility to the socialist society, embezzlement, the organization of a spy organization, and the inducement of several priests to break the secrecy of the confessional.

Observers in Yugoslavia, however, claim that Bishop Baeuerlein is highly esteemed in his diocese, and claim that the weekly attacked the bishop in an attempt to prevent him from becoming a candidate for the still vacant archdiocese of Zagreb.

Probably few Christian citizens took much hotice :of the recent passage by Congress of this year's foteign aid •0 bill. After all, .it happens every year. And eve.ry fl ear, t.p the proposals are reduced. This year was ilo e ceptiqn.

The President had asked for' . . . $2 6 billions Congress has Cong~ess, supported ,by the '. .

It represents about 0.25 per cent of America's gross national product (the sum of its goods and' ser- .. ' vices). This is only one quarter of the one per cent of GNP promised by governments for foreign aid at vari-. ous times in the Sixties and recently re-proposed by such expert 'international bodie!'i as the pe.ar~.o.n Commission or .theu.N. Committee presided over by Dr. Jan Tinbergen. .

The overaIl figures give a rather blurred' impression of the consequences. of a reduced flow of ·aid.Since Africa is at the end of the qu~ue, there may weIl be a halving of the sum proposed to help Ghana consolidate its economy after its recent gel1 uinely free. elections. Nigeria, shaken by the aftermath of civil war and local shortages, will equaIly face a drastic reduction. .

Green Revolution The aIlocations to India also appear to be ~h~rply reducedfrom $~O.O million to perhaps $400 million. Yet thes(~ are the years of potential "green revolution" when aid to large scale investment i~ rural areas, for improved hybnd seeds, for water, for fertilizer-:-might finaIly take the whole vast land; with its 600 million people, beyond the risk ;of famine.

It is a strange outcome. After all, the American people do not refuse to spend money on their relationships with other lands.

Nor do AmerIcans mtend to stay home or h~ve no co~merci~1 re!atio~s With ,a world m whIch .wlth SIX per cent of the populatIOn, they consume 40 per cent of the pri~ary resources, a high pro· portIOn of them located overseas.

Fr. McCaffery. an alumnus of the college, is a native of Sao' vannah, Ga. He .ioined the Benedictines in 1952. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1959, and presently heads the college's social science division.

Belmont' Abbey was founded in 1876 by Bendictines from St. Vincent's archabbey in Latrobe, Pa. It became an independent community in 1884. The first abbot, Leo Haid, O.S.B., was appointed vicar apostolic of North Carolina in 1887 and was con· secrated a bishop. He died in 1924.

The abbey was raised in June, 1910, to' the status of an independent abbey, only such jurisdiction in the United States. The status gave the abbey dioceselike jurisdiction and its abbot authority comparable to the bishop of a diocese although none of Bishop Haid's' successors were consecrated bishops.

Gov. Rockefeller told newsmen that the legislature would provide financial assistance to nonpublic schools in the state this year. But at the sar,ne time the governor said he was opposed in principle to a bill that would provide direct grants to parents of children in non public schools Rockefeller said he was against the tuition aid bill because "such a program could result in parents taking their children out of public schools and might destroy the public school concept of this country."

President Nixon Urges Senate To Ratify Genocide Convention WASHINGTON (NC)-In c'alling upon the Senate to ratify the United Nations' genocide convention, President Nixon has asked it 'to do something it has put off for 20 years.

Briefly, the convention calls upon the nations that sign it to abstain from acts "committed with the intent to des.troy in whole .or in part a national, ethnical, racial or religious. group as such."

The United States was a leader in getting the UN General Assembly to adopt the convention in 1948. But strong, and at times bitter opposition developed in this country and the Senate failed to ratify it.

Today, 74 nations on both sides of the Iron Curtain have ratified the convention. The United States is not among them.

The convention was formulated

by Dr. Raphael Lemikin, a Polish refugee who became a professor at Yale. The word "genocide" was coined from Latin and Greek roots meaning the killing. of people. It was generally accepted as being inspired by the attempts of Nazis to exterminate the Jews.

'World Has Changed' Many will have difficulty in seeing what could keep this country from ratifying an international document for such a purpose.

But two decades ago, many persons strongly professed objections which included these points: ratification by the. U. S. would be contrary to our Constitution; the-definition of genocide in the document was vague; the convention stripped national sovereignty of any meaning; and occasional lynchings and the survival of racial discrimination. could be made the basis for ~harging this country with the practice of genocide.

Times have changed since . hen and so has the make-up of the Senate. It will be interesting to see how much, should the ~enate decide to take up the matter of ratification.

The American Bar Association was among those voicing early opposition and politicians, clern' 'men and others were sharply divided on the issue in the 1950s.

But now the association's Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities says: "The world has changed and the presumed risks have proved groundless."

Twenty years ago, earlyoppo-

sition seemed rooted to some extent in a dislike some persons in this country had for the United Nations, which sponsored the convention. But the UN has grown in stature since then, and the visit of Pope Paul VI to its headquarters in 1965 accelerated widespread acceptance and support for the international body.

In 1950, a Senate Foreign Re· lations subcommittee recom· mended ratification, which Pres· ident Truman had proposed in 1949. But the subcommittee inserted four "understandings" to spell out with some' precision just what this country took the convention to mean, and still the document was not ratified.

A number of countries have ratified the' convention with reservations, and it is likely that some "understandings" will be proposed in the Senate if it takes up the issue again.

The secrr~tary of state and the attorney general are said to have advised President Nixon that there are no constitutional barriers to ratification.

ROCHESTER (NC) - Catholic students returned to their schools after diocesan officials suspend· ed classes for one day in sympathy with a punlic school boycott linked to a desegregation dispute.

As Rochester public schools closed for a dav in face of a walkout by students and teachers, Catholic schools in the city followed suit the next day, but for different reasons.

Father Daniel Brent, Rochester diocesan supel'intendent of schools, said two factors were involved in the closing.

"We are sympathetic with the frustrations of minority groups in seeking quality integration," the priest told NC News. He noted also that the presence of pickets at the public schools, plus the fear of demontrations, were viewed as indirect safety hazards to the Catholic school students.

The public school dispute erupted following· the Board of Education's rejection of a cone troversial desegregation plan.

Members OK minority groups,' teachers and some parents supported the proposal which would have reorganized the city's district into several zones designed to create a greater degree of racial balance in the schools. But th'e plan,had been atacked sharply by opponents who protested it would increase the number of children requiring bus transportation.

ROME (NC) - The official in charge of American Catholic relief activities in the Middle East said withdrawal of welfare support for Arab refugee camps, suggested in the United States as a way to curb Arab terrorist 'attacks on civilions, would be un-Christian because many would be punished for the acts of a few.

Msgr. John G.

J. The .Institute had deplored, growing terrorist attacks which have killed 48 civilians in the past week, through bombs exploded aboard airliners in Europe and the machinegunning of a tourist bus in Jerusalem.

It asked that' all welfare agencies withdraw Arab refugee camp support unless there .are guarantees they will not be used as hatred and violence training grounds.

"Such a policy," said Msgr.

Nolan when reached by NC News, "seems to be the outworn practice of punishing thE! many because of the few. This strikes me as being hardly Christian.

Advocates Love Replace Despair

FRESNO (NC)-Auxiliary . Bishop Joseph F. Donnelly of Hartford, Conn., has completed a further fact-finding

investigation of the table grape dispute linked to the farm-labor controversy in the San Joaquin Valley.

Bishop Donnelly. is chairman of an ad hoc committee appointed by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to look into the conflict. He was accompanied on his tour here by Msgr.

George G. Higgins, Bl director of Conference Department of Urban .Life, who is acting as secretary of the committee.

For five days the two toured the farm areas in Fresna and Kern countries, visiting with growers and with farm workers in the fields.

During the tour, 'Bishop Hugh A. Donohoe of Fresno, a member of the ad hoc committee, accompaned the visitors to Delano for discussions with members of the South Central Farmers Committee which represents most of the large grape growers of that area.

Liberal Abortion Laws Set Back

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Commenting on human-torch suicides of the young, a cardinal ha!! called on the older generation to recognize the "nobility" contained in such actions and to offer love to the young in place of "the downward path" of despair.

Gabriel Cardinal Garrone, prefect of the Congregation of Catholic Edu,cation, pleaded with his generation to insert the principle of honesty in the world so that the young would be helped by "the strength and sweetness of real love." , The prelate's remarks were carried in t.he Vatican City'daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano in the wake of two acts of self-immolation by students in Italy and seven more in France.

His attributing such suicides to a false and deceitful world was reminiscent of previous statements from Rome.

Pope Paul VI made similar observations on the occasion of the "mattyrdom" of Jan Palach, the Czechoslovakian student who immolated himself on Jan. 16, 1969, to protest the Russian occupation.

The late archbishop of Prague, Josef Cardinal Beran, in exile in Rome at that time,' stirred up a cont.roversy by praising the idealism of Palach, even though he clearly condemned suicide.

East Germany Ends Notices, to Church BERLIN (NC)-East German registration offices have stopped notifying Catholic parishes of residence changes by Catholics.

The Leipzig Catholic paper, Day of the Lord, says cancellation of a previously routine practice has jeopardized the pastoral care of Catholics in East Germany, charging that the change in government practice has made it impossible for East German priests to visit Catholics who have moved into their parishes or .to provide pBlstoral care for the sick and needy.

The paper appealed to all East German Catholics to register voluntarily without delay at parish offices and to notify parishes of changes of residence by family members, boarders and roomers.

This is a "Church law whose observance is especially urgent at present," the papE'r said.

. sneakers, getting into shape or maintaining it During the offseason (Summer months), he enjoys running through the streets of his home town or along the many beaches !n the area.

Maintains Steady Pace A six-footer, Hickey is a rangy individual who relies on wind rather than speed to carry him to victory. Thanks to his training program, the CaPf' teenager has. disciplined his body to the point where he remains a threat in every race.

Setting a steady 'pace at the start, Bob is usually content to maintain it throughout the early goings and turning to a kick in the final lap or two.

The format has re~sulted in nothing but success in his brief but impressive college career.

With two years of eligibility remaining, bigger and better things can be,and are, expected from the Cape runner. By the time he's a senior, Bob Hickey may very well be the fastest "Mule" in Maine.

Nobody wants to be No. 2 but Case High of Swansea can take great satisfaction in the fact that it has only one peer among the hundreds of Class C schools in_the Eastern Massachusetts basketball ranks. Coach Bob Gordon's classy combine suffered its years at the Case helm. The sole loss in the last game of five young bachelor coach was lookthe season, the heart-break- ing for his proteges to move to ing setback coming only the front when Connors met after star performer, Paul Connors, was forced from the lineup with a sprained ankle, with the score tied in the closing minutes of the third period of the divisional tourney title encounter.

And, Connors was within three points of the Tech record of 103 points in four games when he suffered ,his injury with three minutes remaining in the third period.

The devastating loss of the senior forward came at a time when the momentum was running with the Swansea Cardinals who, after having trailed the Essex County representatives throughout the early stages, had just evened the count.

Things were looking up for Gordon when the roof fell in.

The Brookline High graduate had led his charges into the Tech tourney four times during his

with his most unfortunate accident in his last effort with the Swansea aggregation.

Bob, who commutes between Brookline and Swansea, except during the basketball campaign when he lives in a motel four days a week, has provided the top opposition for Holy Family of New Bedford in the Narragansett League in the recent past.

The social studies instructor, who has a Master's Degree in Education from Northeastern University, had high hopes of repeatin'g his '68 Tech championship when his club moved to even terms with Andover. Gordon demonstrated his talents two years ago when the other regional small schools learned of the . power that the former Brookline star had developed in his Narry titlists.

Andover Blunts Narry League Supremacy.

Case, which has lost only two Narry games in the last three years, and, which has been undefeated on its home court during: that time, has compiled an enviable record under Gordon who has taken his boys once to, the quarter finals, once to the semi finals, once to the finals and once to the cllampionship in the Tech tournament. Gordon's record speaks for itself. It needs no lily gilding.

The Andover triumph has temporarily blunted the three-year Narry league superiority in the Eastern Mass. elimination competition. Holy Family twice clinched the championship in the last three years while Case accounted for the other title. The New Bedford Parochials were dumped in the quarter finals this year.

But, while Case has to be sat¡ isfied with second billing in th.e Tech, Gordon and his lads have no close contenders for the Southeastern Massachusetts club with the best season's record.

The Swansea combine wound up the campaign with a 22-1 mark, far and away the best of any team within the diocesan territorial limits. .

While Connors repetitiously 'grabbed' the headlines in his team's long string of victories, Gordon's well-rounded combine never would have gone as far as it did without an equally stalwart supporting cast. Connors was the only regular returne~ on this season's club. The competent quartet that the Swansea mentor moulded to work with his high scoring ace comprised Rick Beaulieu, Dennis Leonardo Craig Smith and Bill Griffin.

Case, in reaching the Class C finals, did better than any other area representative in the Tech tourney. The other aspirants fell by the wayside in quarter final contests. This group included Holy Family, Durfee of Fall River, Lawrence High of Falmouth and New Bedford Voke.

The Swansea basketball team, which has not been affected as much as the football club by the current double-shift school program, expects that Bishop Connolly High will have to be reckoned with during the next couple of seasons. The Jesuit institution which made a commendable showing in its first season in the Narry, looms as a future power ready to challenge Case and Holy Family.

In Air Force ROTC Bob captured both the mile and two-mile events and was, among the top team pointmakers. The brilliant performance followed closely on the heels of a double victory (mile and 2-mile) in a dual meef with state rival, University of Maine.

Hickey enjoyed a banner crosscountry reason for the Colby harriers and has continued to impress during the Winter track campaign.

Bob is the son of Mr. and Mrs. RobertF. Hickey, Sr., 92 Main Street, Yarmouth Port, and is one of two Hickey youngsters.

Younger brother Malcolm is a student at Dennis-Yarmouth.

The Hickeys are communicants of St. Mary's Episcopal Church. .A Business Administration major, Bob hopes to enter graduate school after four years in the Air Force. (He is enrolled in the Air Force ROTC program at Colby).

The loss was a disappointment for Coach Higgins and his Clippers, but Falmouth's all-season play is a tribute to the efforts of all who helped form the Capeway Conference Hockey League.

In addition to running and baseball, Hickey enjoys all sports and is active in Scouting where hf' holds the rank of Eagle Scout.

But of all his interests, pavement pounding heads the list.
