Cousins of this city. Addressing the League of Catholic Home and system, much like the two-party School Associations, the Wis- system in politics, Archbishop said.

urgency of this change from a "parochial-only" perspective on ,the part of priests, nuns and laity.

"I can't consent to the idea that we are licked," the Archbishop asserted. "We cannot possibly think of closing our schools, not only because of OUIf stake in the cause of education, but also because of our responsibility to ·the community."

He observed tha.t if the Church withdraws from some areas, "there would be many districts which would become bankrupt tomorrow."

30,000 Y()uth Demand Decency MIAMI (NC) "We're not against anything. We are. for something," 18-year old Julia James commented as 30,000 young people rallied in this Florida City's Orange Bowl to support a crusade for decency In e,ntertainment--on the stage, in the movies and over television.

The tremendous turnout contrasts markedly with the scattered handfuls of so-called "freedom" seekers who have gained national attention in the mass media. The Miami rally was relegated to "buried" cover-

"I believe this kind of movement will snowball across the United States and perhaps around the world," said Jackie Gleason, national known entertainer who supported the crusade by his attendance a't the rally.

"I think it's great, there should b'e more ,things like that," opined Tony' Butula of The Lettermen.

Teenagers organized the rally

after Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, was charged with indecent exposure during a Miami concert on March 1. Six warrants have been issued for Morrison's arrest.

Teenage speakers gave threeminute talks on God, parents, patriotism, sexuality and brotherhood, sandwiched between appearances by professional entertainers who donated their services.

Entertainer Apologizes NEW YORK (NC) - Bill Cosby has apologized to NBC viewers who were offended by his "Tonight Show" monologue on hi:; first visit to a Catholic Mass. Cosby, acting as the "Tonight Show" host during Johnny Carson's vacation, received complaints from viewers about the content of the comedy piece.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 27,1969

New O·rleans Needs: Help

Schools Will Continue BATON ROUGE (NC)-Bishop Robert E. Tracy has declared "the Catholic school is still very much a part of the American picture," and pledged they shall not pass away in the Diocese of Baton Rouge.

"The diocese ~ ~ ~. has ,been and still is determined to continue to do its very best to educate its children, not only as canon law requires 'in schools which are in no way inferior' but which are clearly superior on several important aspects."

Bishop Tracy made tjle comment in a statement on the state of diocesan Catholic schools and their prospect in 1969-70.

He said the Baton Rouge Diocese organized its parochial schools 'basically to aid the first teachers, the parents, in carrying out the learning process.

"Thus the religious school becomes the hub of a wide scope of learning, religious as well as secular," Bishop Tracy declared.

"When a boy or girl is old enough to treat reading and writing with academic respect, the parents of our diocese believe it is time for the same respect to be paid to the truths of religious.

"But it would be too narrow a view to imagine that all this formation results merely in some purely sectarian advantage to the Church," Bishop Tracy declared. "Actually, any well educated man or woman of whatever religion becomes a powerful influence for good in providing the community with resources of a high order and in elevating the whole tone of society.

Community Disaster "To build 30 elementary schools, junior high school, and eight senior high schools 'serving 14,600 students has been a mighty task for our priests, religious and people. And to administer them and teach in them the diocese has had to assemble a small army 'of more than 600 priests, B.rothers, Sisters .and laymen, high in ability and dedication but low, I am afraid, on salary ch.ecks."

"MeanWhile,"

Priest~

to Hear Trappist Monk Father Vincent Dwyer of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, popularly known as Trappists, will be the principal speaker at a meeting of the Priests' Study Group of the Fall River Diocese to be held a,t 1 tomorrow afternoon at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River. .

Father Dwyer's topic will ,be "Contemporary Approach to Spirituality." It is his 'belief, it is noted, "that in the current age of renewal in which much of the traditional approach to spirituality has been rejected by many as outdated, no one has offered a workable substitute that will speak to 20th century man in his own language."

The monk will attempt to offer some suggestions in this regard, drawing on research for his doctoral dissertation on the topic.

Father Dwyer is a former Navy submariner who worked for several years among the poor of Chile before entering the Trappist community in 1956.

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Parochial schools in the New Orleans archdiocese will open on schedule in the Fall, according to Archbishop Philip M. Hannan, although due to local circumstances, a school or two may be closed or consolidatea with a neighboring school.

But, the archbishop warned,

noted, "our parents, keenly aware of taxes, but willing to pay to maintain our public school system, are digging down even deeper to provide the cost of our schools in which religion can be the center of a child's education."

"Such formation, such education provides a most effective dimension to a person's whole ability not merely to serve his church but to advance his community," Bishop Tracy stated.

"Not only the church but ~he whole community would suffer disastrous loss were such education ever to pass away.

"But it will not' pass away.

Public' Penance Must Follow Guidelines

Apathy Toward Cities And Schools NEWARK (NC)-A temporary black takeover of a ·building at Rutgers University here was used as a springboard' for an attack on legislative apathy toward educational problems' of the cities by particIpants in a churchsponsored program here.

The participants said the Rutgers demonstration "was as illegal as the Boston Tea Party," but "must be seen in the same context of angry people protesting discrimination."

The statement was released by Father John L. Paprocki of the Pope Pius' XII Institute, co-director of the Urban Training Institute of Eseex County, a training program for Newark and suburban residents seeking to bring about a change in urban conditions.

Some 400 persons participating in tqe program, sponsored by the Pope Pius XII Institute and the Newark Council of Churches, said state legislators ,who have criticized Rutgers' handling of the building takeover "do not seem to understand that they, in fact, are largely responsible for the public school crisis in New Jersey."

Need Action "They are the irresponsible ones for they continue to fail to provide the necessary funds for excellent and equal education for the youth of the state they represent," the statement declared.

The statement said last Decemoer the boards of education of the state's largest cities invited all: the legislators to meet with them but out of 120 legislators only seven attended.

At the meeting, the educational needs of the cities were discussed, the UTI statement said, adding that in the face of these needs "none of our legislators even introduced the kind of legislation that deals realistically with this emergency situation."

"We do not need any more studies," the statement said.

"What we need most now is not calm reasoning together but action ¢ '" "."

'Find New Home For Students BALTIMORE (NC) - Plans are being completed to move students from the nation's oldest Catholic seminary in the downtown section here to St. Charles College in suburban Catonsville.

The seminary operations at St. Mary's Seminary on Paca Street, founded in 1791, soon will be discontinued and its students will attend classes in September at St. Charles, .the Sulpician Fathers disclosed.

The Sulpicians have been offering preparatory seminary courses at St. Charles; the junior and senior years of college at St. Mary's, ·Paca Street; and the school' of theology at St. Mary's' Seminary in the Roland Park section here.

Beginning this Fall, the St..

Charles campus will include all four years of college. Theology will still be offered at the Roland Park Semina,ry.

Two historic buildings at the seminary on Paca Street will be retained - the Motlier Seton House and the seminary chapel.

Blessed Elizabeth Seton started .the nation's first parochial school in the house. The Gothic revi val chapel was dedicated by Bishop John Carroll, this nation's first bishop, in 1808 and was renovated last year.

ance.

In a letter to clergy and religious, he noted that public celebration of Penance in the past few years has proved helpful for some in their spiritual development.

While this is understandable, he said, "it is nevertheless true that the priest should carefully prepare the participants in such a celebration, so that they may experience an increased awareness of -the social dimensions of human guilt; the part played by each in the continuation of sin in our communities, and the great task that faces each of us in effectively meeting the concrete implications of one's responsibilities."

The bishop stipulated that public celebration of Penance in the diocese is always to be governed by the following norms: general absolution is never given; the w.ords of absolution are never to be used as prayers during such public celebration; those who wish to receive the Sacrament of Penance at such celebrations are given the opportunity to do So privately; and the priest should be vested in cassock, surplice and stole.

Fr. Serra Memorial Dedication Sunday SAN MATEO (NC)-A sixfoot redWOOd bust of Father Junipero Serra, founder of California's missions was dedicated here Sunday in ceremonies marking the city's 75th anniversary.

The huge redwood carving is a gift to the city from members of the Serra Club of San Mateo, a lay group which fosters religious vocations. It is the work of sculptor Kenyon Kaiser.

"we cannot continue indefinitely without aid from the state we serve." The archbishop attributE:d the continuing operations of Catholic schools to the result of "sacrificial giving 'by our people 0) 0) ~" "We reaffirm our support of the Church's dedication to the education of youth with its consequent contribution to 'the community welfare," he said. "We pledge to continue to the limit of our ability the long and produc:tive tradition of Catholic education in this archdiocese.

"It is obvious to me that, as the costs of education continue to rise, only a contribution on the part of the entire commu,nity will assure the future operaticm of our schools."

Costs rose 1'l per cent in the past year, he said, and predicted the same rise this year.

The archbishop said: ."We cannot control the spiraling costs of living, including that of education," he went on.

"A rise in the cost of public education imposes a double burden on the Catholic parents who support by their taxes the public school system and by their contributions the private school system.

"Their willingness, and our willingness, to continue our schools will be futile when the costs are impossible to meet."

"We stand ready to collaborate in any mutually beneficial arrangement with the public schools," Archbishop Hannan said. "We have demonstrated our sympathy and support for the needs o~ public schools by by supporting the sales tax in Orleans parish in 1967 and a recent bond election.

"We ask, in justice, consideration for the needs of the young citizens being trained in our schools. I am sure that this community with its high regard for justice and freedom under law will give them the justice that is their due."

America Needs Gospel Spi.rit

HARTFORD (NC)-"The true spirit of the Gospels is needed in our nation today," Archbishop John Francis Whealon, 48, asserted as he became spiritual head of the Hartford archdiocese.

He was installed recently by Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate in the U'nited States, at ceremonies in St. Joseph's Cathedral here. >

"As the first President in his last address and the last President in his first address have reminded us, the 'pilings on which American democracy is built are moral and religio\ls," Archbishop Whealon said.

"T,his beloved country of ours, recently described as 'ragged in spirit,' demonstrates 'the weird and exotic ephemera of a rich, insecure, bored, anxious, hysterical society,'" he declared.

Potent Med,icine Archbishop Whealon said that . in many Americans today there can be found a "sense of rootlessness and helplessness of the individual,' an anxiety bred from loss of community." He said there can be noted a "devaluation of all standards and the boredom with everything,even life itself."

"The spirit of the New Testament provided antiseptic and medicine amid the decadence of the Roman Empire," the archbishop said. "That same New Testament spirit has the .potent medicinal qualities required to overcome the decadence in the body politic and in our individual lives. ' "If it is true that the book titled Excellence was thrown ~way in this nation 10 years ago, then we need to study the New Testament whose sub-title is 'A Life of Excellence.' "

Catholic Charities Conference Endorses H.omemaker ServiCe Expansion CHICAGO (NC)-Strong endorsement for the development, promotion and expansion of .homemaker -service was made here by the Commission on 'Familie.> and Children of the National Conference of Catholic ,Charities.

Homemaker service is one of the core services offered by social welfare agencies. It is a community service ,that employs 'personnel to furnish home-help services to families with children or to convalescent, aging, acutely or chronically ill and disabled persons.

Its primary funcUon is the maintenance of household routine and the preservation or cre, ation of wholesome family living in time of s1Jress.

Stay Together "At a time when remedial progr,ams of welfare are being misunderstood by many of our citizens," a commission statement declares, "it is important' to stress the preventive aspects of this valuable service:

Andrew Mettenberg of Keokuck, 'Iowa, 'and his brother, Joseph, ,of Donnellson, Iowa, donated the land in memory of their late brother, Sylvester.

The Florida ordinary said he expects the parish will ma.terialize in five years and will be designilted 'as St. Sylvester's.

In the St. Petersberg diocese, Bishop Charles B. McL'aughlin disclosed a 10-acre tract in the Spring 11ill community has been donated as a parish site by the MackIe brothers real estate development firm of that community.

No Other Way, All that I am and shall be I' am and shall be of necessity, and it is impossible that I should be otherwise.-Fichte.

"We respectfully urge community welfare councils, Catholic Charities, volnuntary and public agencies to examine their homemaker service programs in. order to discount the many areas of unmet needs; ·to stimulate county and state boards to 'avail themselves of federal resou~ces; to initiate and interpret within the community a conviction of the value of homemaker service; and to work for ,the etablishment and/or expansion of these services," the statement said.

For Funds ST. PAUL (NC)-Opposition and support have been expressed in &tatements by organizations in the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese following announcement of allocations of $3.5 million sought in the archdiocesan fund drive.

The Twin Cities Catholic Interracial Councl (CIC) the Association of Christians for Church Renewal (ACCR), and Concerned Christiians (CC) issued statements of opposition. The archdiocesan .priests' senate announced its support of the drive..

The CIC board of directors' statement, which _ listed 470 members, questioned "the priorities and amounts of money allocated" in the appeal. It charged the alloca.tions contain "no clear response to the urgency" of needs "of the powerless people of the metropolitan area."

The statement referred ,to a CIC letter sent to Coadjutor Archbishop Leo C. Byrne of St. Paul and Minnea,polis in February, which promised board opposition to the drive unless "full disclosure of priorities," made in advance, would include an allocation of at least 50 per cent of pledged monies for ",the poor as represented in agencies which are self-determining."

Urge Cooperation Shortly after the CIC statement was issued, the archdiocesan priests' senate passed a resolution in support of the drive.

It urged "cooperation of the priests and faithful of the archdiocese to the best of their ability," The priest senators heard spokesmen for the appeal, and then, according to their statement, expressed conviction that many areas of archdiocesan needs have been neglected for lack of funding, so that now the community must face hard questions of financing.

ACCRannounced its opposi,tion to the drive, calling on all laymen to "withhold their funds from the drive and, instead, to direct their financial support to other organizations," ACCR reports a current membership of some 70 to 80 young adults, a third of whom are college or university students, announced intentions of picketing and demonstrating in March against the drive.

Criticizes Attempt To Tax Charities TALLAHASSEE (oNC)-A Florida Catholic Conference official has criticized a ·bill which would a'bolish the tax exempt status of charitable institutions as hurting agencies whioh perform needed social services for Florida citizens.

Thomas A. Horkan, Jr., executive secretary of the Florida Catholic Conference, issued the statement about the tax ,bill offered by Rep. Carl Ogden of Duval County, which would exempt only schools, hospitals, and houses of public worship.

Horkan made the statement as the ad valorem tax committee planned sub-committee hearings.

Horkan said that, under the proposed law, "homes for dependent children, for unwed mothers and for retarded children, as well as Catholic charities facilities, would be taxed."

He emphasized that these facilities "are performing community services which are the obligation of society itself,"

Planned Merger OIlJl1l'Une

ATLANTA (NC)-A preliminary outline of a plan which eventually may unite nine Protestant denominations into one 25-miliion-member church was disclosed at the annual Consultation on Church Union meeting here.

The Rev. Dr. William A. Benfield, Jr., chairman of the plan of union commission, said the outline is the result of seven years of work by more than 100 leaders in the nine denominations. He said additional work remains to be done and 'the ratification of the plan would not be considered for 10 years or longer.

The denominations involved are the African Methodist Episcopal church; the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church; the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ); the Christian Methodist Episcopal church; the United Methodist church; the Presbyterian Church in the United States (Southern); the Episcopal church; the United Church of Christ, and the United Presbyterian church.

lVIILWAUKE (NC) - Father W. Adean McGrath, S.S.C., concilium representative of the Legion of Mary, said in an interview here the legion has declined in numbers like other Church groups affected by Vatican Council II, but its members are more alert and active than ever before.

During the past five years, Father McGrath said, most organizations suffered deeply and some have died. The legion, however, "has never been more alert and acti ve," he stated.

Priests have become involved with so many other things as a result of the council, the priest observed, that they have lessened their attention toward Church groups. Another reason for declining organization interest - especially in the United States-has been the general afiiluence throughout the country, he said.

Father McGrath noted that the legion has one million, active members and some 10 million aU5l:iliaries, who lend moral support through prayers and spiritual works.

Need Priests He said more priests are needed .to involve a greater number of lay people in the work of the legion, although it was difficult to get priests interested.

Describing the legion as the "largest and most widespread form of lay apostolate work," Father McGrath pointed out that the organization demands of its members three-and-a-half hours a week. That time, he said, is spent in conducting apostolic works and in meetings.

The priest noted that the success of the legion can be measured in the determination of members to revise Confraternity of Christion Doctrine programs; to conduct l>arish census programs; help lapsed Catholics Teturn to the Faith; assi,st and visit the elderly, the sick and the dying, and buHd relationships with minority groups in ghetto areas.

Continued from Page One '''However,'' he adds, "one fundamental finding does seem to come through quite cle3Jl'ly: we have a tremendous ,task confronting us in the field of adult education."

The findings, survey conducted in mid-summer last year, have been compiled in a 312page book. The research team questioned 1,168 diocesan laity in an effort to determine the impact of the Vatican Council on the attitudes and practices of Worcester County Catholics.

Some priests admitted to "bewilderment" over the statistic that reveals that 43 per cent of all laity in the diocese had not heard of the Council.

"How can this be so," one -priest asked, "when ,the resul'ts 'also show that an over-whelming 94 per cent of the people are aware of changes in the Church within the past five years, with 74 per cent realizing it has changed 'a great deal'?"

IBut ,the glaring statistic is still there-coupled with the fact that 55 per cent of this mid-Bay State diocese who have heard of Vatican Council II, only eight per cent claimed to know "a lot" 'about it while ,two per cent were not sure they ,had heard of the Council sessions.

Fifty-six per cent of the 55 per cent who know "a little" about it. Thirty-fuur per cent. of this group know "nothing about it."

"In other words," reported the Ca'tholic F,ree 'Press, Worcester diocesan newspaper, "it could be stated that more than 60 per cent of the laity in ,the diocese of Worcester know nothing 'about the historical event of the Second Vatican Council, with the'vast majority of that number having no specific':recall that such an" event ever took place." ,This might "seem remarkable," the sur,vey report states.

"Yet,other: data in this study suggest tha,t parishioners have not heard more than occasional preaching on the subject.

"There is clearly much greater awareness of change," the report asserts, "than there is awareness that the changes have flowed out of 'an historic Church counciL" The survey reveals, however, that, fo.r the most :part, lay ,people's reactions to the changes in the Church are "broadly favorable."

Nonetheless, the survey also consistently calls for ef,forts by the clergy to work to increase the understandings of the laity regarding the changes. """"""""""'"'''''11''''''''''''''1'''''1'''''"""""""""""",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,",'

When Religious Image Improves

Catholic School Board in Chicago Seeking Assistance for Pupils

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-When religious communities get in' tune with the style of the times, vocations will increase, the executive secretary of the National Sister Vocation C{lmmittee said here.

Sister Louise Gleason, addressing some 400 participants in the National Sister Vocation conference said: "It is up to us to identify religious life with its real worth, not its works or services."

"If the young do not see the example of dedicated living, (If sacrificial challenges, ·they look for .it in secular challenges 0) Q 0;0 the Peace Corps, VISTA, and o ,t oh: e r 'goV'ernment-sponsored goodwill programs."

Sister Louise said the 'vocation crisis is really a crisis of image. "The problem today is that we are so worried aoout what others are doing that we have taken our eyes off the horizon. We are Iooking back," lPractican Aspects The real gist of the conference were the in-depth workshops'on application forms and interviewing applicants for ,the religious life, according to the conference chairman, Sister Maureen Bannister.

A copyrighted 61-page ,booklet of application forms drawn up by the National Sister Vocation 'committee .in conjunction with the DePaul Hospital Community Mental Health center was distributed to all participants as a basis for continuing discussions.

"There was a real need for a workshop such as this, which would deal with the practical aspects of vocation work," Sister Maureen said. "Even the talks • scheduled were all practical in dealing with the work of vocation directors and formation teams."

Cosby Apologizes Continued from Page One that was cut because tha.t "wo'uld destroy .the effect of having it edited in the first ·place."

Cosby's monologue dealt with an "outsid'er's" view of a Catholic Mass. .CQSby's wife is a Catholic. He was relating his experience in ·going to church with her. One comment C{lsby made likened <the h{lst to "pizza without the tomato sauce."

The monologue did offend some viewers, the NBC spokesman admitted, but he said he felt that ,the viewers misinterpreted wha1: Gosby was saying.

The NBC spokesman noted that Cosby has used the monologue many times before and has had "great success" with it at Catholic colleges 'and universities where "nuns, 'PJ'iests and students seemed <to find it very funny."

In his statement, Cosby said that 'he most sincerely apologized to anyone he might have offended.

Urge$ Holy Week Truce in Conflict NEW YORK (NC) -The national secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association proposed here a Holy Week cessation of border hostilities between the Arabs and the Israelis in the hope that such a ceasefire might help pave the way for peace talks.

Msgr. John G. Nolan, who is also president of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine, said that Moslems have a deep reverence for both Moses and Jesus.

Since the application booklet was taken home by the conference participants, representing some 70 orders in 45 states, Sister Maureen is hopeful that the' forms it contains will be put to use in some way by a number of religious orders.

PLAINFIELD (NC)- A priest told the Plainfield board of education, that racial disturbances which have plagued this New Jersey city's school system this year stem from the board's failure to institute necessary changes.

Father Frank D. Testa of St. Bernard's parish said the underlying cases are long-standing complaints about the lack of flexibility in the Plainfield school system.

The local high school was shut for .six days after a wild melee between blacks and whites in the school auditorium. Absenteeism was high when the school reopened.

The disturbances at the high school are a reflection of earlier disputes over control of educational policy. The Plainfield school board, like the boards in many larger cities, is an appointed body, but black groups have been asking for an elected board.

Techniques Fail When city offici,als declined to give up control over appointments, some groups joined to hold a rump election in the street outside board offices last Fall, When disturbances br{lke out among the students, both Father Testa and Father Joseph A. Stulb of Newark, recently named vicar for the inner-city apostolate in the Newark archdiocese, .attempted to be of help.

But both admitted that techniques which had been useful elsewhere would not have worked here because city clergymen are unknown to most of the students.

An observer said part of the trouble stems from a white insistence on excellence which works to the detriments of blacks, who do not get sufficient counseling and help and are thus shunted into courses which do not provide college training.

TAKES VOWS: Sr. M. Denise Paul of the Holy Spirit, O:Carm. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Bourbeau of St. Joseph's Parish, Fairhaven, recently took vows as a Carmelite ~ister for the aged and the infirm.

CHICAGO (NC)-The Chicago archdiocesan board of education voted to ask the city board of public education to permit Catholic school youngsters to receive as much assistance as they are leg.ally entitled to under the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).

The board acted after hearing a summary of a report of the National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children recently submitted to President Nixon and the 91st Congress.

The report showed that some 37 programs for Chicago were approved and funded by the federal government under Title I of ESEA-which is the largest of federal aid to education programs established undef the act and is aimed at upgrading the education of children living in poor areas.

The program is administered by the city's board of education, w;hich is supposed to include

nonpublic school officials in the planning process.

Although it was recorded that 15,000 non public school children here participated in some Title I undertakings during the 196768 school year, program evaluations show that mobile units accounted for most of this figure, according to the National Advisory Council report.

"Many of these children saw motion pictures, attended cultural events, or went on field trips, Few received remedial assistance of any substantial nature," the report stated.

Of programs funded here last year to the amount of $22 million, there were only six in which there was satisfactory participation by nonpublic school children, according to Laurence Yandel, director of special programs for the archdiocesan school tboard.

Cite School Closing Cost to Taxpayers SPRINGFIELD (NC)-Father Mark Ernestmann, schools superintendent for the SpringfieldCape Girardeau diocese, said the recent closings of five eatholic schools in the diocese and the elimination of seventh or eighth grades in four others are costing' Missouri taxpayers nearly $150,000 a year.

The estimate is based on the average cost of $616 to educate a child in public schools in the state of Missouri'. Some 243 students were affected by the Catholic school closings and grade cuttings.

The bishops of Missouri in a recent statement warned that nonpublic schools in the state cannot be expected to continue without outside financial assist,ance. They called for "cooperative arrangements" between the state and private agencies in which both would share the cost of the schools.

StiU Battling ,Wisconsin Organization Seeks Help For Nonpublic School Pupils' MILWAUKEE (NC) - The Citizens for Educational ':Freed'oni organization' is only as old as some of the youngsters it is' trying to help, but its leaders are seasoned veterans of several battles to gain justice for private education.

Currently, Wisconsin CEF forces are seeking legislation that would provide $50 for each youngster attending non-public grade schools and $100 for those in .high schools.

The bill was introduced recently in the state senate but the outcome seems unpredictable. , With only mild opposition, at least until recently, CEF spokesmen are optimistic of another victory. Yet, none is more hopeiul than the president of the state CEF federation, Richard F. Tyson of Milwaukee.

In an interview he singled out, three factors for his optimism: Solid support from an increasing number of parents who have joined CEF and a number of legislators throughout the 'state: Diminishing opposition to the lon~-standing issue .involving the separation of church and state; " An economic arguJ!lent which

is overhelmingly in favor of the tl.:!jtion grant program.

Much Cheaper.

Through a series of rallies in various parts of the state, CEF, has informed parents and legislators that economically it would be much cheaper to enact tuition grant iegislation thao to ignore it or defeat it and face the, possibility of hav.ing all 231,000 private school pupils ~ transfer into pubic schools.

Nonpublic schools, most of which are Catholic, have been closing rapidly in recent years due to' financial problems brought about by a declining number of teaching Sisters and . the inability to afford lay teacher replacements.

The cost of the tuition grant program, which would go into effect July 1, has been estimated' at $13. million annually. This would represent a savings of some $160 million in operating costs plus projected capital expenditures of' $600 million if current nonpublic enrollments would be maintained. ' .

LOS ANGELES fNC)-Msgr.

James B. Clyne, superintendent of elementary schools in the Los Angeles at:chdiocese, said a "middle school" concept will be launched in selected inner-city areas of the archdiocese next Fall.

The middle school will enroll only seventh .and eighth grade children where formerly there was an eight-grade program.

Msgr. Clyne said the curriculum of the two remaining grades will be expanded and enriched to meet the needs of the children.

"It is widely known," he stated, "that stuaents at seventh and eighth levels follow a pattern of maturation, both physical and intellectual, which differs sharply from that of lower grade pupils.

The middle school represents a carefully planned attempt to capture that pattern, enrich and enlarge upon it, and direct the energies and capacities of these early teenagers t9 maximum achievement."

Grouping these -pupils in a distinct and specialized school, he continued, will provide an opportunity for a new category of schooling-one that will per,mit departmentalized instruction, a specially trained faculty, a broader scope of elective courses such as introductory laboratory science, training in business machines and practices, home economics courses, and' specially weighted courses in the language arts and mathematics.

Says Men of Today Lack Respect for Authority

Wom1en's Council Names Chairmen

By Joseph and Mm'ilyn Rode1'ick

WASHINGTON (NC) - New chairmen have been named for the International Affairs Commission and the Organization Services Commission of the National Council of Catholic Women.

Margaret M. Bedurd, sociology professor at the College of New Rochelle, New York, has been named national chairman of the international affairs g,roup, succeeding Mrs. Edgar Boedeker of St. Louis.

Mrs. Robert Florian, Organization Services Commission chairman of the Chicago Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women, has been named chairman of the national body, succeeding Mrs. Louis Sweterlitsch of Coraopolis, Pa. National chairmen work with national staff members of the women's council in developing programs for the 12,000 offiliated organizations that comprise the NCCW federation.

A quick perusal of the weekly magizines and· daily newspapers leads one to the conclusion that more bad things are happening than good things. It seems to me that we are badly in need of heroes and heroic deeds. It is almost as if we have lost faith in others of loftier also be found on a Seder table statures to make decisions and this is symbolic of the lamb for us but we have increased sacrified in the Temple in Bibour faith in our equals.

Students everywhere are rebelling against the authorities and have lost faith in anyone but themselves to make decisions. W.hat is frue for students Is equally true for political parties, teachers, college faculties, the poor, etc. We have lost the ability to look up, our vision is limited to our own level.

Fewer Crises This leveling of vision has very serious defects. There Is no expertise better than our own.

This has probably come about because of prolonged prosperity and fewer crises ·in our national life. This statement of fewer crises may seem ridiculous in the light of the war in Vietnam, but many observers have felt· that the war has not really been a crisis in the minds of most Americans.

For years our people looked to their leaders----during the depression, the second World War, and the Cold War-with blind acceptance. Suddenly it seems the pressures are not so great, the leaders do not emerge and we are satisfied with our own solutions. Coupled with our lack of respect of authority is our desire to do things immediately and with Immediate effects.

In this latter respect Eric Hoffer is worth quoting;· "Some generations have patience and some are without It. This.is one of the most crucial differences between eras. There Is a time when the" word 'eventually' has the soothI?g effect of a promise, and a time when the word evokes bitterness and scorn." The time for bitterness and scorn ,would seem to be at hand. in the Kitchen As we are celebrating our joyous holiday, Easter, the JewIsh members of the community are celebrating their Passover.

In their calendar of religious celebrations this is one of the happiest.

As In many of our relgious holidays, food plays an important role In the observance of Passover, with most of the ceremonies centering around the Seder table. On this table are the family's best china and crystal, their most .precious heirloom tablecloth and the foods that make this such a meaningful meal.

Each item has a reason for being there, other than to satisfy hunger. Matzo, the unleavened bread, is there to represent the bread of the ancient Israelites because they fled from slaver; in. Egypt. over 3,000 years ago, without time to let their bread rise.

Symbolic Lamb Haroset is also served, a thick paste of chopped apples, walnuts, sweet wine, honey and cinnamon. This. is used to resemble the mortar used by the Israelites in building cities as slaves of the Pharoah.

Some form of roast lamb will

lical days,. Betza is there too, this is a roasted or hardboiled egg that is dipped into salt water to recall the divided waters of the Red Sea; and Moror, bitter herbs, often >borseradish, recalls to the Jewish family the bitter slavery that their ancestors suffered in Egypt.

In many Christian homes a Seder table is set to celebrate Holy Thursday, for this is the day that our Lord turned bread and wine into His body ,and blood.

We've celebrated this supper at our house and while it doesn't work as well as we would like, it still gives ,this day a little more meaning while at the same time our children get a brief history lesson on the Hebrew people. Ecumenically speaking, it certainly doesn't hurt our family to have a nodding acquaintance with the customs and beliefs of those of other faiths. Not if all men are to live together as brothers.

If my eyes light on chopped liver on a menu, there's no second thought about what appetizer I'll choose. This is one dish beloved by Gentiles and Jews alike.

Chopped Liver 1/2 _ cup or chicke~ fat Ih cup diced onion 1 pound chicken li vers (broiled) 1 hard-cooked egg 1 teaspoon salt ~ teaspoon pepper 1) Heat oil or fat in a heavy skillet and saute the onions for 5 minutes.

Schedule Meeting On' Religion, Peace PITTSBURGH (NC)-Bishop John J. Wright of Pittsburgh has asserted ,that a "solid passion for peace" now exists among religious leaders throughout the world.

Speaking at a .press conference here, Bishop Wright pre-, dicted that a "new theology of peace" will emerge from a world conference on religion and peace scheduled to be held in Kyoto, Japan, in September, 1970. The Pittsburgh bishop recently returned from an advisory committee meeting in fstanbul, Turkey, where ,plans were made for the conference.

Kyoto was chosen as the site of ,the conference so that the peace meeting will coincide wi,th the world's fair, Expo '70, scheduled to be held there next year, Bishop Wright saidf

He added that Japan is a neutral country-both religiously and politically-where Arab and Real Test Jew can meet. He said that JaTo act cooly, intelligently and pan's experience with the horprudently in perilous circum- rors of nuclear 'war has inspired stances is the test of a man and . in that nation a desperate' quest also a nation. . -Stevenson for peace.

Campaign Catholic Women's Hono~ Society Works to Save Higher Education DETROIT (~C) Karpa Gamma Pi, national Catholic college women's honor society, has mounted a nationwide campaign to help solve the financial problems of private higher education.

Co-chairmen of the Kappas' National Education 'Project are Mrs. Joseph Hansknecht, Jr., and Mrs. Lawrence Mailloux of Detroit, who have long worked to promote legislation to benefit private institutions of higher learning. , Mrs. Mailloux said the present project is the result of a lengthy study in this area, that consisted in meetings probing the problems of Catholic education.

"The fact became more and more clear," she said, "that plain old money was the root of most of the problems. .

"As costs continued to rise, the people were allowing their confidence in the value of Catholice education to erode under the encroaching tide of financially impossible,' " Mrs. Mailloux stated.

"However, we also began to learn that others were becoming alarmed at the bleak future facing all private education with the ultimate result being the. loss of freedom of choice in education," she said.

Enrollments Decline The present financial crisis in higher education is acute. The enrollments in private colleges have been steadily declining because of rising tuition costs.

State tax funds' for 'public higher education have increased by 214 per cent since 1960.

To achieve some balance between public and private education, several states have en-

acted tuition grant programs, but Mrs. Mailloux s'aid the Kappas believe. it imperative that such legislation be nationwide.

The long-range program of the Kappas' National Education Project has as its purpose: To work with colleges in preparing public understanding o~ the economic and cultural contribution made by the private college.

To promote cooperation among independent colleges withiri each state.

To act as a clearinghouse of information on developments in new proposed legislation, state to state.

To capitalize on their ability to promote pending legislation through the many citizens groups in which individual Kappas have some influence.

Boa rd to Settle Clergy Disputes

In Four

See~

BALTIMORE (NC) Plans for the nation's first regional arbitration board to settle dis put e s between priests and bishops have been approved by the bishops and representatives of the priests of the BaLtimore archdiocese and the Richmond, Va. and Wilmington, Del., dioceses.

Approval by the Wheeling, W. Va., diocese, the other diocese in the Baltimore province, is expected soon.

Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, Bishop John J. Russell of Richmond and Bishop Thomas J. Marda,ga of Wilmington have already ap.proved the proposal, which was drafted by representatives of the region's priests.

Bishop Joseph H. Hodges of Wheeling has substantially agreed to the plan and is expected to express official approval soon, according to Father William F. Burke, vice-president of the Baltimore Senate of Priests and communications chairman of ,the National Federation of Priests Councils (NFPC).

'Model Program' He described the proposed board as "unique" and said it is being recommended to NFPC as a model program. Details were circulated to priests'. councils and assodations throughout the nation 'in a recent NFPC publication.

The priest said a referendum now being circulated tQ priests in the region asks them to vote on the proposal and to bind themselves to the arbitration procedures it ~rescribes.

If established/ the board will be made up of three pl'iests (two diocesan, one religious), layman and one nun from each diocese, and all bishops and resident provin~ials in the dioceses..

From this board a three-man he'aring panel will be drawn whenever a dispute ,is to be decided. These three will be a priest (diocesan or Religious depending on the nature of the case), a layman or Religious, and a bishop or provincial.

Secret Hearings The plan stipulates that the panel should not include persons from the same diocese as the disputants and, if possible the three should be from different dioceses.

The panel may ,have the assistance of ex'perts in whatever field the sItuation may demand but they are to act as advisers only.

Other operatng procedures contained in the plan are: The hearings are to be secret.

The presumption of innocence ,is always recognized.

In all procedures in which pen'alties may be imposed the accused will not be deprived of any right, office or communion wi,thin the Church except by due process of law.

The first Sunday he was in Vietnam. Sgt, Adalino "AI". Cabral of New Bedford "met" the nuns and children with whom he was to spend most of his free time during his tour of duty there. "It was at Mass my first Sunday," he recalls. "The priest talked about Love of the Cross Orphanage in Tan Binh-and I got involved." Cabral's involvement ranged from "helping to build, paint, anything, they needed, because the nuns couldn't really do much manual work," to "trying to teach the boys baseball and trying to teach the girl'S how to play jacks."

The latter, the young Air Force sergeant admits, "was pretty hard. My sister taught me." .

Cabral, 23, a parishioner of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception church, arrived home two weeks ago to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Manual R. Cabral of 511 North Front Street, and his brother, Oliver M., and sister Dorothy. Another sister, Maria, Mrs. Joseph Gale-" go, also lives in New Bedford.

A graduate of New Bedford High Schaol, Cabral went into the Air Force right after graduation. He will complete his final six months at Travis Air Force Base in California.

Then he "hopes' to tryout junior college, something in business."

Didn't Have Anything However, as much as he is looking forward to the future, Al Cabral's thoughts keep going back to the 150 YOl"ngsters at Love of the Cross.

"They were nice little kid'S," he says. "And they. didn't have anything.

"They and ,the nuns and Father Han, the chaplain, are refugees from North Vietnam.

They're under the jurisdiction of the bishop of Nha Trang, about 35 miles north of Cam Ranh Ba'y -(where Cabral was stationed with the 12th Transportation Squadron)- but anything we have, they don't."

The need of his y()ung friends plagued Cabral and he decided to do something about it.

He wrote home to his family telling them about the children and their poverty. He wrote to The Standard-Times and radio stations in New Bedford, asking them to pass on his plea for help for the youngsters.

The response was "fantastic," he says.

"I couldn't count the things that came in. We received so much from GreatE~r New Bedford we were astonished - and every single thing was used.

"My mother actually went around asking everyone she knew, relatives, friends of the family, any()ne, to send what they could. She did quite a job.

My whole family did, for that matter."

But it was the generousheanted strangers who "really shocked" Cabral. "They weren't people we knew or anything.'

They just heard ·there was a need, and they sent things."

The children benefitted.

"One day, maybe we'd get one

Supports Grants

To Parents MILWAUKEE (NC)-Wisconsin State Sen. Marlin J. Schreiber said he supports state grants to parents of private scho?l children to save the public school system.

Speaking on a local TV program, Schreiber cited financial problems of the .public schools, lowering of. educational standards in public schools and the large number of children behind in basic subjects as the basis for the assertion that public schools are in trouble.

He said closings of nonpublic schools and transfer of their pupils Ito public schools increased the public schools' problems. . The parents of private school children, he said, "can no longer afford the overburdening tuition amounts they are paying."

Schreiber said he would introduce legislation which would give parents $50 for each child in a private elementary' school and $100 for each child in a private high school. He said the grants would cost $13.3 million.

Mrs. James B. Ricketts, a member of the board of directors of the Greater Milwaukee Council of Churches, denied that private schools have a claim on public funds.

She said the grants would encourage parents dissatisfied with public' schools to withdraw their children and set up highly selective private schools.

Calix Society Seeks To Help Alcoholics MINNEAPOLIS (NC) A drive ,to raise $25,000 is being conducted 'by the Calix Society, a Cath()lic organization for the spiritual development of alcoholics.

The organization is seeking funds to provide a full-time salaried secretary and for extension work of the society, which now is established in the U. S. and four other countries.

Archbishop Raimondi Cautions Advocates of Radical Change HARTFORD (NC)-Arehbishop Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States, cautioned promoters of "radical change" to Ibe wary of making "shallow and rash judgments that can result in serious misunderstandings of the Church's nature 'and aims."

Speaking at the installation of Archbishop John F. Whealon of Hartford in S1. Joseph's eathedral ,here, the Apostolic Delegate underscored: "The Jnheritance of the Church is not the accumulated human wisdom of the eenturies; rafJher, it is the continuation of the work of Christ through the ages, with His continuous presence, vivifying and renewing her, giving ·her strength and sustaining her."

Archbishop Raimondi said there are some who limit themselves to "a surface consideration of things," and others tempted to confine the Church's revelance to an institution which accomplished great things in the past but cannot now find a place in the lives of the people.

Rash Judgments "Some ask themselves: Is the Church still a living and viable institution? Much is spoken about renewel and we even hear voices declaring that re.newal is not enough; these either promote the idea of a radical change, a change that would affect the very essentials of the Church, or they advocate an outright fading away," Archbishop Raimondi said.

"We suppose that such shallow and rash judgments are the result of a serious misunderstanding of what the Church, its natu.re and its aims "are," he continued.

Archbishop Raimondi said the day-to-day problems of Ufe draw attention more to the struggle individuals and society are undergoing, than to the underlying spiritual realities. .

"So, also, we witness the efforts of some well-meaning persons to see that the Church is involved in these problems whioh more acutely afflict humanity today: poverty, famine injustice, racial inequities, un~ rest, war and so forth," the archbishop continued. .

"They would measure the action of the Church to the extent that she participates in these efforts to eradicate from the earth such conditions as prevent great numbers of human beings from e?joying what is the full expresSIO? of their basic rights, aspir~tlOns and ide~ls, their total dignity and fulfillment.

"The truth of the matter is, of course, that the Church is most sensitive to these very problems," Archbishop Raimondi declared.

For decades the ·Popes have called attention to suoh problems, trying to form the Christian conscience to work for elimination of conditions contrary to ,human dignity, he said.

The Second Vatican Council worked along similar lines.

"This is a most serious and urgent duty of every member of

the Church in whatever position he may find himself," the archbishop said "However, the fulfillment of these duties must never obscure the fact that each Christian is, before anything else, a bearer of Christ and a witness to Him, to His 'doctrine His life and His salvific mission: "The Christian must see the human problems with the eyes and the heart of Christ, and treat them accordingly whether with respect to himself or surrounding society."

Publishers Probe Downward Trend In Circulation WASHINGTON '(NC) Officials of Catholic newspapers are becoming increasingly pessimistic about the downward trend in circulation being experienced in many dio... ceses.

Apathy on the par.t of both laity and clergy, as well as fierce competition for the readers time, are among some reasons cited for this increasing decrease.

These were among the findings of an informal survey of diocesan newspaper officials in all areas of the country con'ducted by NC News Service.

Catholic newsmen are not totally pessimistic, however. They are searching for ways to overcome the trend. Several of those questioned think a possible solution would be to merge diocesan newspapers into regional groups.

Almost all officials contacted in the··survey· agree that the 100 per cent coverage plan is a good thing for the Catholic press.

The blame for the decrease in circulation was put on just about everyone and everything, from bishops to editors and from poor promotion to inroads 'made by television.

"I feel very strongly that the hishops haven't taken a good look at the situation," declared Chester A. Beatty, business manager for the Tablet in Brooklyn. Many bishops as well as other persons do not recognize the importance of the diocesan press as a communications tool, he said.

Cooperate WUh Bishops An executive editor who asked his name be withheld said "some papers are folding because the editors have been irritating their readers." He cited name-calling, not the coverage of controversial subjects, which always is bound to irk someone.

"Editors should cooperate with bishops instead of fighting them," said the publisher of a large diocesan press. . He said Catl~olic newspapers should be presented as house organs, "but editors want freedom instead." He said editors should remember that their newspapers exist only to serve the Church.

"Some bishops," the publisher continued, "are withdrawing their support of their own diocesan press because they do not approve of its editorial policy.

"Most people," he said, "are with the bishops. They are loyal to them. Editors should keep 'this in mind."

Father Ti)omas R. Leahy, executive editor of the Catholic Herald Citizen in Milwaukee a diocesan newspaper that ha; a growing circulation, said the success of a diocesan newspaper "depends on the attitude of the bishop. If he's backing it, it has a better chance of succeeding."

But Even Buffalo Bill Couldn't Change Vatican Daily's Policy VATICAN CITY (NC)-Even Buffalo Bill Cody and a band of cowboys and Indians could not sway the Vatican City daily from its strict editorial ,policy.

This emerges from a recent account in ,the daily L'Osservatore Romano, recalling the visit of Cody and members of his Wild West show to the Vatican in ,March, 1890.'

Cody and his troupe had received permission to attend Mass at St. Peter's for the 12·th anniversary of Pope Leo XIIJ:'s coronat!.

A correspondent for the New York Herald ·at that time wrote: "One of the strangest sights

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Impatience with the pace of Church efforts to combat discrimination and to develop programs to aid members of minority groups was reflected in resolutions adopted in a Southern regional meeting here of Urban Task Force coordinators and other human relations specialists.

Scoring the failure of Churches and Church agencies to risk involvement in controversial programs treating urban problems and racism, paI'ticipants called upon religious agencies to reassess their human and material resources in an effort to combat these problems.

They called for a "total reassessment by the Catholic Church -of human materials and financial resources and a substantial reallocation of these resources to carryon pr.ograms to combat racism and the lack of shelt"er, health care, and jobs which afflict the poor."

Among suggestions in the resolutions were "programs within parochial schools to combat racism, annual workshops for bishops and religious superiors conducted by professionals in social action problems and programming, and development of a more adequate theology for Church involvement in social problems."

Suburbanites Must Help Build United Metropolis

Vatican Source Says Holy Father Satisfied With U.5. Relations

Hy.Msgr. George C. Higgins Di1'ector, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Protestant organizations in the United States that have been protesting to the U. S. government against the possible creation of diplomatic ties with the Vatican can stop their fussing.

Even if President Richard M.

Last week's Yardstick suggested that the inhabitants of upperclass suburbs are on trial at the present time with reference to the urban-racial crisis- if only because of the fact that, by comparison with people who are caught in the inner city, they must be thought of as belonging urbia, and turn our attention, in to a privileged class. That the first instance to the overall which ought to was not meant to suggest relationship exist between the city and sub-

that there is anything wrong in itself with people's desire to "escape" from the inner city or even the outer city. As John M. Ducey, presIdent of the Institute of Ul1ban Life in Chicago, has pointed out, people like to live in suburbs particularly families wit h children. They, place a value on the Identity which a resIdentIal area obtains from havIng a name of Its own and a government of its own.

They like the Idea that their neighbors are people like themselves with similar incomes, similar attitudes toward the importance of having good public schools, similar mores. These, he says, are normal human desires.

It would be unwise, as well as impractical, to attempt to effect any radIcal change in them.

House Divided I can agree with Mr. Duceyup to a poInt; but I must also concur with him when he hastens to add that "these normal and praiseworthy aspirations are the very basIs for the development of the antipathy of the, suburbanite towards the city and its residents."

To the extent that this antipathy exists in suburbia, and, more significantly, to the extent that It Implies 'a lack of concern about the problems of the inner city or a conscious or unconscious desIre on ,the part of white mIddle class or upper class subu~banites to Insulate themselves from other races or other social classes, It can hardly be defended eIther I'n terms of the American ideal or in terms of Christian social ethics.

The problems we face, then, as Mr. Ducey has suggested, is to prevent the development of a house divided, a metropolitan community split by invisible political boundaries Into the city dwellers and the suburbanites, the haves and the have nots, the whites and the non-whites-into "us" and "them." .Let us leave aside for the moment the problem of racial isolation, which is built into sub-

The board acted on the recommendation of the faculty senate, which suggested that the curriculum commiUee consider the possibility of offering academic credit for some ROTC courses.

ROTC 'had 'been a mandatory program for freshmen and sophomores at S1. Peter's. Students have been agitating for the removal of the requirement.

While dropping the mandatory nature of ,the program, the trustees said they considered the continued presence of the military science department "important" to St. Peter's.

Students Launch Drive by Giving Own Funds WASHINGTON (NC) Georgetown University students have started a drive to provide more scholarships

for black' ~aduates of high schools in Washington.

A student-to-student scholarship committee has set a goal of $20,000 to be r.aised by late April. Each of Georgetown's 4,100 undergradutes is being asked to donate an average of $5 to the fund.

The student action follows a similar voluntary prog,rnm by 90 lay teachers and 40 Jesuit instructors who pledged more than $45,000 in a faculty scholarship drive last year.

Student leaders of the latest black scholarship program said asking students to contribute about $5 each "is entirely reasonable and not out of line."

"If we don't help in a small way, how can students honestly criticize Georegtown's administra,tors or faculty for' not doing, enough to solve our urban and racial problems?" ask' Philip Ptacin, a Chicago junior, who :is co-chairman of the student scholarship committee.

'J.1he drive is being coordinated with Georgetown's 900-member freshman class, which earlier h'ad set a goal of $4,000 for scholarshi,ps for two blacks. The freshmen began their drive earlier and raised about $600 in the first three days. They have incorporated their effort into the $20,000 goal.

such

,relations,

Pope VI does not.

That does not mean that if the U. S. Government insisted, Pope Paul would refuse outright. It does mean that any diplomatic overtures from the U. S. Government would be met with resist.ance from the Holy See. And given the fact that many Americans, including Catholics, are opposed to the esablishment of U. S.-Vatican diplomatic relations, President Nixon would have to be very powerfully motivated to insist.

So far, President Nixon has only indicated that he wants "that line of communication"with the Vatican - kept open, and that ways of keeping it open are "under study."

An authoritative Vatican source in a position to know denies that the question of diplomatic relations "was even hinted at" by either the Pope or the President during their talk of more than an hour, March 2.

The same source confirmed what has long been said in Vaticain circles: that Pope Paul is highly satisfied with the present cordial relations would be far outweighed by the discord they probably would provoke among Americans.

'Excellent Rapport' The Church enjoys full freedom in the U. S., where laws even guarantee its right to carry out its activities.

President Nixon's own direct contact with the Pope was, by his own warm acknowledgement, highly satisfying. The same Vatican source commented that there was excellent rapport between the two men. Of course, there could not have been a perfect sympathy of views because. one is a spiritual head and the other is ,a material chief.

In this jet age, the President of the U. S. and the Pope have ample facilities ,to engage in direct conversation if they feel the need. President N.ixon showed at the end of his conversation with Pope Paul that he intends to do just that. , "I will come back to see you," Mr. Nixon told the ,Pope on taking leave of him.

Guzman's 'Camilo Torres' Locks rder, Proportion'

ROCHESTER (NC) - The as'sociate superintendent of schools in the Rochester diocese said the material of a recently introduced sex education program has been under "steady revision and rewriting" but "there is no intention to withdraw the course totally nor suspend the program right now pending a change of the syllabus."

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy Camilo Torr s was shot to death a little over three years ago. He w s a priest who sought to effect a revolution in Columb a. Having failed to Ret the masses in motion toward a seizure of power he asked fol" and was granted a return to the lay state, joined the g errillas in to a scientific study of the realthe hills, and was killed in a ity of Colombian society. And' almost at the start of the latter skirmish between an army year, Camilo was killed.

Many in Colombia hoped that his death would mean an end to his, name and his cause. But a recent news item datelined Bogota says that his memory "stands out sharply in the controversy raging throughout Colombia Q v e r alleged Communist infiltration of the. cler y."

One archbishop is quoted as complaining of a gro p of priests "with revolutionary ideas'" '" '" contaminated by Fat er Camilo Torres."

In view of the ap arently increasing importance of Camilo Torres, it would be g od to have a clear, critical acc unt of his life and endeavors. But none such is yet available in English.

Some months ago, a small, scrappy volume was published.

And now comes Ca ilo Torres, a lengthy work by G rman Guzman (Sheed and Wa ,64 University Place, New ork, N. Y. 10003, $6.95).

Brisf Summ Guzman is a Colo bian, who • was ordained a priest in 1936. He is now teaching in exico, and the sketch of his car er printed on the jacket leaves ome doubt as to his present st tus in the Church.

His biography's pri lcipal fault is its deplorable lac of order and proportion. In book devoted to one man, one might reasonably expect a connected and detailed review f his life.

But the nearest a proach to that here is a summa y supplied by the subject's other and covering a little mor than two pages.

From it, we learn. t at he was born in 1929, that he lived several years in Europe during his childhood, that on hi return to Colombia he did oorly in school, that he quit aw' school after one semester, t ,at he then decided to become a ominican, but went to the dioc san seminary because this is what his mother preferred.

Their signed statement defended "the competency of the Church as the teacher of morality" and added. "We will help in any way to promote and deepen the effectiveness of this program."

The program material was to be taught in various class subjects as opposed to being a separate sex course. The committee, commissioned by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen and Msgr. William M. Roche, diocesan superintendent of 'schools, comprised seven parents, three priests, and three Sisters.

Their first syllabus, tested in a pilot program in 13 parochial schools a year ago, was revised and adjusted during the' Summer before being offered to the whole school system last Fall.

R~cently the ,Syracuse diocesan school system, borrowing the Rochester diocesan syllabus for a pilot program in a few schools, began preliminary meeting with parents' group. But lay criticism sent to the diocesan consultors of Bishop Walter A. Foery prompted a termination of the program for "restudy."

It has long been said in the major leagues that "you 'have to be strong up the middle" in order to finish at or near the top. Mike Kapitan is Guthrie's solid returning receiver and Sophomore Bob Ward rounds out the middle line in center field. Junior Kapitan was last year's leading team hitter while Ward's all-around ability was encouraging as a Freshman.

North's most pressing prob-

lem this season is finding a replacement for right handel' Steve Stack who bested always strong Durfee in a 22-inning BCL encounter last year. Righthandel' Rollie Provost, the No. 2-rated hurler last Spring, looks like Guthrie's best flinger this year.

Outfielder Keith Gibson· will be following the lead of Bosox Ken Harrelson "(hen he switches back to first base' this year, giving the North mentor strength at three of his four infield posts.

The experience gained in '68 is what Oliver Ames hopes will lift its fortunes this time around with six lettermen ready to st~p into as many positions.

Wooster is a little more fortunate than Guthrie insofar as the infield is concerned since Oliver Ames will have veterans at all four positions. They are: Junior John Miller, who will be handling the first base duties for the third straight year; Co-Captain Senior Paul Bodio at second; Junior Dale Guglia, at shortstop and Senior Jim McMenamy at third.
