News of his piety and of some of the miracles he worked brought crowds to the hermitage.

It had to be moved four times in

an attempt to avoid the throngs' seeking to approach the holy Negro.

In 1562, when Benedict was 38 years old and had been 17 years a hermit. Pope Pius IV declared that the hermits should disband and join one of the approved orders of the ChUl'ch.

Benedict chose to enter the Order of Friars Minor as a 'Brother. Clothed in the brown habit and white cord of a Fran~ clscan he silent the next threEt years in the Convent of St. Anna of Giuliana and the rest of h13 life at the Friary of St. Mary of Jesus, near Palermo.

That God had given him thtt power to work miracles durinlr his itfe was authenticated in tM processes which brought about his beatification by Pope Bene~ dict XIV, In 1742 and his canoni~ zation by Pope Pius VII on May 25. 1807.

Most of the miracles were cures of the sick, especially those suffering from cancer. The sign of the Cross, a touch of the hand, or a prayer was all that Benedict needed to execute God's will.

St. Benedict Manasseri's de~th occurred when he was 65, on April 4, 1589, after amonth's ill­ ness at the friary. He had spent 21 years in the world, 17 years as a hermit, and 27 years as a Franciscan near Palermo.

In the United States St. Bene~ dic't the Moor, has 13 churches,' Seven schools, nurseries and ol'phanges are named for him and committed to his protection.

'Sodalities ·Have Excellent Opportuni~ty for Profect

By Mary Tinley Daly

It's 8:30 of a Sunday evening as I write this, after a day filled with joy and pathos.

The joy came with having our beloved Mother Evans -no relation, not of our faith, but a dear friend-spend the day with us. We picked her up at the old ladies' in action, in World War I. She home where she Ii ves, tak­ had no othel' children, and her died many years ago. ing her to a patriotic func­ husband There is nobody but the friends tion where Mother Evans' qua­ veringly sweet voice could still make its e If heard as The Star Spangled Ban n e r was sung'.

Mother Ev­ ans, net weight 98 pounds,age In the 80's, wouldn't use the cane she needs during the playing of the national anthem.

Taking a firm stance-sans cane -her left hand was straight at her side, her right over the heart, and her eyes straight ahead.

Very Thankful After the ceremony. a little ride while Mother Evans,recalled phrase after ph'rase of the speech we had just heard, thrilling to its patriotic message.

"The Lord has blessed us," she smiled, "giving us men with such Ideals at this time. The Lord 1s good.to this country. And He's good to me, giving friends like you."

The Head of the House glanced out of the cornel' of his eye and I know we both felt ashamed that we have done so little for Mother Evans. In the busy days, v;eeks and months, we have merely telephoned hel' now and then, sent infrequent cards, paid all too few visits. Mothel' Evans, though, had no sense of being neg'lected, simply JOY in the mo­

ment.

she meets, like ourselves, who love her for herself. This woman of brilliant intellect, charming personality, and a real "feel" fOl' human relations is living out her last days in a completely foreign atmosphere. Love, understand­ ing, and affection-the very life­ line of her existence-she must make on her own.

Think It Over The home in which Mothel' Evans lives has no organized guild-no group of friends to visit now and then, to take the ladies far a ride, to get to know them and fulfill the innate hu­ man need for friendship. Now and then, she tells us, people evidence interest, take them rid­ ing' and to see the Sig'l1tS. It is not a Catholic home.

It makes us wonder. Is there an old people's home in your parish or diocese? And couldn't it be a part of your sodality's efforts?

Many sodalities are looking for "projects". CYO, Boy and Girl Scouts-fine! Orphan asylums, fine again.

All of these are caring for young'sters "with a future" as the world sees it.

And yet, the services to those In old peopies' homes may seem depressing and profitless. But the old folk have a future too, a radiant future, very neal' re­ alization.

Appeal

'ST. LOUIS (NCl-pope Pius XII has given American Catho­ lic journalists three basic rules for success in their "lofty apos­ tolate" of guidance and leader­ ship.

The Pontiff's recommendations were made in a radio message transmitted to the 47th annual convention here of the Catholic Press Association of the U. S. The Pope said Catholic jour­ nalists must meet the following demands: 1) "They must show their eoinpetence, acquired through serious study and a sure grasp of the fundamental principles of Christian philosophy and theol­ ogy, and made evident by the clear and cultivated expression of sound jUdgments concerning the impoitant problems of the day.

2) Their writing must reflect

Highlight, of the ceremony will be the blessing by Bishop John J. Wright of Worcester of 50 wayside shrines for erection along roads and highways, and simple' wooden crosses for place­ ment in farm pastures. Prayers will be recited· for the temporal and spiritual welfare of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts during tha approaching crop season.

"the unity, the oneness of the Church in her faith and moral teaching."

3) They must be "ever con­ scious • • • of the one sublime goal" that sets them "Qpart from ordinary writers: the spread of Christ's kingdom of truth and salvation among men."

Stating that "the influence of the Catholic press will be in pro­ portion to the influence and number of its readers." the Pope urged that students of and gmd­ uates of Catholic colleg'es and universities "should be a chief support of the Catholic press and literature."

In matters pertaining to faith and morals, the Pope said the Catholic press is required to "give loyal obedience" to the bishops.

But In regard to questions out­ side these spheres, he stated.

"free discussion will be altogeth­

er legitimate, and each one may

hold and defend his own opin­

Ion." But "such an opinion should

be presented with due restraint,"

he added.

Mohammed had twenty-two years in which to labor, Buddha forb-five, Our Lord a little less than three. Yei the short life­ word of Our Lord hit history with such an impact that He split time In two, so that all history since then has been dated A.D. or B.C. Mohammed belonfls to the Arabs, Buddha to the people of "lndlil, Confucius to the Chinese, but Our Lord cannot be identified with a nation. He belongs to the world. .

After much licentiousness, Buddha

turned from women In disgust. It was not

so much that he left his passions, as that

his passions left him. His virtue was born

of satiety rather than discipline. Moham­

med was a sensualist, who promised a

sensualist heaven, and like all sensualists

despised women. Our Lord, living a life'

of purity, elevated women: In an age

which would not accept a woman as a

witness, He defied the times by making

a woman the first witness of His Resur­

Cites Work of St!' Thomas More

In Plea for Legal Reforms

WASHINGTON (NC)-Ameri­ can jurists should follow the ex­ ample of a 16th century lawyer-· saint and reform the nation's' court system ..

An associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court .told· members of the St. Thomas More Society of America that there are "many valuable lessons (which) law­ yen, may learn" from the soci­ ety's patron.

Sp ~Qking before the group's annu:tl lunche6n, held in con­

junction with the American Law

Institute's annual convention,

Assoc.late Justice William J.

Brenr.an Jr., recalled the legal

reforms instituted by St. Thom­

as MO.:e in England during Henry

VIII's reign.

The youthfUl justice pointed out hetw St. Thomas More con­ clusively demonstrated in his day

that the essential of democratic

society is integrity and effi­ ciency of jUdicial progress. He called for a "modern, stream­ lined systGm for disflenslng prompt, efficient justice." He

said' our society "not only need

n.ot, ,but cannot tolerate systems of autonomous courts, free from any sort of control from within

or without."

Techniques used by St. Thom-

. as More, said the associate jus­ tice, "do not differ from those which are featured in today's

programs for administrative re­

forms..

"For me, an enthusiast for the

cause of administrative reforms," said Justice Brennan, "it is_ a happy privilege to be able to bring so great an authority to the support of the cause." .

The member. of the nation's highest tribunal conclUded, "It is but natural then that the ju­ dicial process should come under examination, for, even as in St. Thomas More's day, so also is it . true today that 'Jtistice,sirs, is the chiefest interest .of man on earth.' "

Treaties Binding Nations Called Waste of Paper .By lllost Rev. cRobert J. Dwyer, D.D.

. Somewhere in the State Department, that grim re­ nunder of the architectural vagaries of our· ancestors, there must be a closet where they keep Useless Treaties.

It,should be rather full by this time, with the yellowing parchments overflowing the crowded shelves. Not to vest it as to make it morally inviolate. speak of the 19th century, .

Cause of War which mayor may not have "When there is good faith, and ftllfilled their original purposes, what a conspicuous waste of en­ gTossing documents date from our own times.

There are those drawn up at the end of the 1st World War, most of them-with nations which for all practical purposes have ceased to exist. There would be the Kellogg-Briand pact, that hopeful gestUl'e of the '20s which was to outlaw'wiu' forever as an instrument of polley. And there would be a swollen pile of them to l'emind us of certain arrangements made at Tehran and Yalta and Potsdam which we would sooner forget than fumble over. But the trouble is that they are there; they have been printed and publl/?hed; and they belong to the permancnt record.

Scrap of Papel' Back in 1914 the world was still innocent enough to be shocked when the Imp e ria I Chancellor of Germany' dis­ missed the treaty guaranteeing the. integrity of Belgium as a "scrap of paper," But by this time we have reached a stage of sophistication where any and all treaties are regarded in pretty much the same light. If tney work. well and good, but it is generally understood that trea­ ties are merely a part of an In­ tricate diplomatic game played by experts in that sort of thing, and nobody is expected to put any real stock in them.

Perhaps never in the history of civilization have international faith and credit been at so low an ebb. Emperors and kings have practiced deceit on one another in times gone by. undoubtedly. and republics have been known to disregard their pledges quite as readily as dictatorships. But they did so with the clear reali­ zation that they were committing the international equivalent of mortal sin and deserved the cen­ sure they were sure to get. Their come-uppance, as in the case of a celebrated Corsicall adventurer, was regarded as justice finding its own level. Today. for the most part. all sense of sin or immoral­ ity has vanished from diplomacy.

Treaties are excessively fragile, hothouse flowers; gathel' them today. for tomorrow tilCY will be wllted.

Sterile Exercise It means the end. of course, of international law. Those philoso­ phers who so cavalierly dismissed the Idea of a Christian polity and then went on to call the 11atural law a figment ought not to be surprised at the result. The mere proliferation of treaties, without l'egal'd for their necessity or for the good faith of the contracting parties, is a completely sterile exercise. And where there. is no l'eal consciousness of law as l'ooted in nature and ultimately in the divine plan. it becomes 1l0thing more than an elaborate and expensive farce.

More than foul' centuries ago that somewhat crabbed genius, Erasmus of Rotterdam, who de­ scrves to be known as one of the founders of international law. spoke his mind on the sub­ Ject of treaties. Emph~tically. he was not in favor of a treaty to answer every imaginar~' con,.

tillgenCy; the word itself of Christian princes should suffic~

(or all normal purposes. But it and when a treaty was needed. it and when It lI/llS in the tru\'t int~rests of the poople (for. otherwise It were a mere conspi­ tv,CV) such. solemnity should. in­ 0

the parties to a transaction are honest men. thete is no need of hard-and-fast bonds; on the other hand·, when the matter is one between rascals, their very bonds provide the materials for litigation. So between good and wise Princes, even where there is no treaty. there is steadfast friendship; but where Sovereigns are foolish and evil-inclined, the treaties which were designed' to make war impossible are the cause of. war, for' 'someone is always complaining that one 01'_ another of their innumerable articles has been violated. The usual purpose of a treaty is to end war, but nowadays the name is applied to an agreement to carry it on. Such leagues are but measures; whatever expediency beckons, there an alliance is formed." .

It is as though Eramus were reporting, in somewhat formal language, a session of the securi­ ty Council of the United Nations: But he is actually doing more than that. He is putting his finger on the very nerve center of our malady, that we are ex­ posing the concept of interna­ tional honor to ridicule by trying to deal iVith rascals. We persist in making tre'aties when we know full well that one of the "high contracting parties" has not the slightest intention of living up to its end of the bargain. It is worse than a waste of time. it is a traversty of international mo­ rallty. One may have all the sympathy in the world for the idealists who' hope to build a better world' by u§ing bricks without mortar. but cold realism discourages the process.

If he were ever known to smile.

Erasmus might be in4ulging a sad little laugh at our expense.

Lists Reasons for Church Stand on Mixed Marriages

By Rev. John L. Thomas, S. J. Sf. Louis University

Why is the Church always harping on the evils ot mixed marriage? I know of several right In our neighbor­ hood which are very successful. Besides, some of the nicest, boys I know are non-Catholics. How is our faith going to be known if Catholic young people can't date with those coming e~otionallY involved or falllng in love? Once you have of a different religion? ... ... reached this stage, experience

.

know, Maisie, there are a : people who share your view.,. Accord­ jng to inter­ views and pub-, lic opinion polls, a good percent­ nge of Ameri­ cans - Catholic and non-Cath­ olic - feel that there are few hazards con­ nected wit h mixed marriage.

This is all the more startling because religious leaders, Cath­ olic, Protestant and Jewish, have constantly warned their flocks about the dangers of such unions.

This raises the interesting ques­ tion. Is anybody listening?

Harmful to Faith Let's look at the known facts about mixed marriage. Extensive studies conducted by sociologists show conclusively. that mixed marriages are harmful to the. faith of the Catholic party.

Stated in broad figures, approxi­ mately 45 pel' cent of the Cath­ olics involved in' valid mixed marriages have either severed all connection with the Church or attend Church, services very spo­ radically. Likewise, the religious training of children suffers in such marriages. A conservative estimate would be that roughly 40 per cent of the children born to such unions are either un­ baptized, or are baptized in the Protestant church, or are bap­ tized only, that Ill, they receive no formal Instruction in the faith. Finally, although a con­ Biderable number of partners join the Church before marriage, J'elatively few are converted dur­ ing the marriage.

I

shows that It is not easy to break up.

Heed Warning This suggests one further point against dating non-Catholics. It always involves the danger of invalid marriage, that is, of at­ tempting marriage outside the Church. Our studies show that somewhere between one-third and one-hal! of all mixed unions are invalid. No doubt, many of the Catholics jnvolved in these unions started out by "only" dating non-Catholics, but the casual date became a "steady" and love followed.

Are you listening, Maisie? Or will you be one of the many thousands who complain, "Why ,didn't you warn us!"

13 Congress Told Communist

Youth to Mark Adoration, Day WAS H I N G TON (NC)­ Youngsters throughout the na­ tion will observe "National Youth Adoration Day" ~or the first time on Pentecost Sunday, June 9.

Msgr. Joseph E. Schieder, di­ rector of the Youth Department.

National Catholic Welfare Con­ ference, said this is :'a program requested ,by, developed, by and , scheduled by" the Diocesan Sec­ tion of the National Council of Catholic Youth.

"It is not a progtam that will get wide publicity coverage like that afforded juvenile crime, but it is one that much more honestly reveals the nature of the vast majority of the-young people of the country," The present purpose of the ob­ servance is to have all Catholic youngsters pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance to know the truth and courage to follow it.

The three-fold purpose is for in­ creases in 1) the number of re­ ligious vocations in every dio­ cese of the county; 2) purity. honesty and a sense of responsi­ bility among the nation's young people, and 3) spiritual and temporal relief of the suffering young people of Hungary and their fellow citizens.

Msgr. Scheider announced a prayer and picture card dedicat­ ed to the Holy Spirit suitable for all young people is available at the National Council of Catholic Youth, 1312 Massachusetts/Ave., N. W., Washington 5, D. C.

WASHINGTON (NC)-The danger of communism is increasing, not receding. The United States remains the major target of Soviet aggression.

This is a disquietIng official report which seems to have received relatiyely lit­ once observed that If the Ameri­ tle attention.

And yet, it comes from an can people saw this horde wear­ official source which warns ing the uniform of a foreign thQt "indifference to the Krem­ lin's avowed program of global conquest can lead only to the inevitable destruction of our free institutions, and ourselves as a free nation."

This has a particular signifi­ cance at this time, because in writin'g of the recent death of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin, some newspapermen and others created the impres­ sion that he greatly overrated the communist danger in this country.

The danger is not minimized In the annual report of the U. S. House of Representatives Com­ mittee on Un-American Activi­ ties. It is from the foreword of that report, written by Rep. Francis E. Walter of Pennsyl-' vania, chairman, that the warn­ ing at the beginning of this let­ ter is quoted.

"Anyone who thinks that com­ munism in the United States no longer constitutes a serious men­ ace," Rep. Walter also says, "should consider that at this moment on American soil are the equivalent of 20 combat di­ visions of enemy troops engag­ ing in propaganda. espionage, SUbversion, and loyal only to the Soviet Union.

A prominent American jurist

power and moving freely in theil' midst. they would immediately voice great alarm. The alarm should not be less If the uniform clothes the minds instead of the ' body."

The chairman says his como: mittee "would prefer to report to Congress and to the Ameri­ can people that the tide has turned against international communism and that the day of its dissolution Is in sight. The committee cannot do so. There are many, nevertheless, who feel that communism has become en­ feebled and exultantly hail each new sound from the Soviet sphere as the death knell of the vast communist totalitarian em­ pire. It is a grave delusion which, they embrace."

The report foreword says the membership of the Communist Party in the United States has declined numerically, but it at­ tributes this to the fact that "many dilettantes left the fring­ es from which they had long' gazed with soorry-eyed credulity."

"But those remaining in the communist apparatus comprise a hard core of revolutionaries who have consecrated themselves to accomplish the annihilation of our form of government," the foreword warns.

Sources of Trouble

What are some of the sources oi trouble in mixed marriages?

First, it hinders the spiritual unity of the couple. The Catholic partner must pray alone, attend Church services alone, approach the communion rail alone, and retain, unshared, a whole world of spiritua.l· experiences' and val­ ues.

Second, there is lack of agree­ ment concerning the religious training of children.

Third, church loyalties in re­ gard to time, Interest. and money are divided and can lead to quar­ rels.

Fourth, there may be rejection or positive interference from in­ laws. ,Fifth, and most important, differences in religion produce basic differences in value sys­ tems which love cannot resolve.

Catholics have distinct beliefs

concerning the indissolubility of

marriage, marital fidelity, the use

of contraceptives, and so on. Al­

though many Protestants hold

these same values as ideals, the

great majority feel that they can

be ignored in exceptional cir­

cumstan~es. The Catholic par­

tner can never agree to such an

interpretation of divine teaching.

n",Ung Non-Catholics

What about dating non-Cath­

olics? The answer is simple. In

the normal course of events, dat­

Ing leads to courtship and mar­

riage. If you wish to avoid get­

ting Involved in a mixed mar­

riage, you must logically avoid

dating non-Catholics. I realize

that it is common to use the facile excuse that you are "only"

dating, but where does one draw

the line between datini and be- '

. Church Must Stress Farming in Africa

Given in Two New Novels

CAPE TOWN, South Africa mC) - The Church must place more emphasis on agriculture If she wishes to become self-suffi­ cient In Africa.

This memorandum was pre­ pared at the request of Arch­ bishop Celestine J. Damiano, U. S.-born Apostolic Delegate to South Africa. It was drafted by Dr. Karl H. Shuette, lecturer In botany at the University of Cape Town.

"The Church and agriculture are Intimately linked In Africa," the memorandum states. "With­ out a real improvement In agri­ cultural production the Indi­ genous Church cannot. hope to flourish because of poverty and unsuitable social' conditions."

By Rev. D. Bernard Theall, O.S.B.

Two new novels having in common a Russian back­ ground and a deeply religious content are Zoe -Olden­ bourg's The Awakened (Pantheon, $4.95) and Heinz von Homayer's The Radiant Mountain, .(Regnery, $4.00).

THEOLOGY FOR LAYMEN

Attributes of· God: All In God Is His Essence

Chaplains' Retreat HARMON Am BASV-, New­ foundland (NC)-A retreat for "chaplains of the frozen waste­ lands" was conducted here by Oblate Father James A. Shee­ han of Tewksbury, Mass. Seven Catholic air force che.plalns who are on duty with' the Stragetic All' Command and the Air De­ fense Command were the retreat­ ants. Father Sheehan, a fOlmer chaplain, is now national promo­ ter of the devotion to Om Lady of Hope.

By F. J. Sheed

God, we have seen, is utterly changeless. This might strike us as involving Him in infinite stagnation. For us, with our matter-bound habits, activity seems unthinkable without change; but this, as we see looking closer, is be­ . cause we are finite.

Th f t t t··t f He is mercy. We have to think ell'S grea ac IVI y 0 of. them as distinct, in order to the infinite Spirit is know­ think of them at all; but in Him' ing; with us this activity they are not distinct from His

I

involves an immensity of chailge, learning what we had not known, forgetting what we had; In both f a s est h e change comes from our finite­ ness, in the one case from igno­ rance, in the other from a defect in memDry; but God Ii: now s a I I things, merely . being God, and there is no for­ getfulness for Him; so that His activity of knowing is at once limitless and changeless; He is omniscient.

His other great activity is lov­ ing; and that again for men involves change, waxing and waning, finding new objects, losing hold upon things already loved; here again the change fomes from our lim1tations; God loves with infinite loving-power, no loss possible, no increase con­ ceivable. He knows ana loves with infinite intensity, and this is not stagnation but measureless vitality.

God is all-powerful, too. There are no limits to what He can do, no limits to what He can m,ake.

The most powerful man cannot make anything of nothing at all, he needs some material to work upon and in the absence of ma­ terial, his power must lie all locked up within him and unus­ able. That is a solid limitation and God lacks It. He needs no material: He creates.

"Can God make a weight so heavy that He cannot lift it?" asks the unbeliever. He feels he has us cornered. If we say "yes," then God cannot lift it; if we 5ay "no" then God cannot make it. (The reader might do well to pause here and think out how he would answer it.) Our reply is that God can indeed do all 'things, but a ·self-confradictlon 1s not a thing. God cannot make a four-sidedt"riangle, because the terms contradict each other and cancel out: a four-sided ttiangle 1s meaningless, It Is not a thing at all, It Is nothing. A weight that an almighty Being cannot lift Is as much contradiction In terms as a four-sided triangle.

It too is nothing. And (to give an old text a new emphasis) nothing is impOssible to God. Because God is infinite, there ill no distinction between His attributes and Himself. Take knowledge, and begin with our own. My knowing Is something that I do, but 1t Is not myself.

This may not strike us as a limitation 'but It Is, and a con­ Illderable one. If only my know­ ledge were myself, I should be knowing all the time, simply by being; I should not have to make B distinct effort to know; I Illiould never forget. But, as it is. my knowledge Is less than my­ Ile)f; I am finite enough. heaven knows, but my knowledge is more finite stiB. Now God'S knowing Is not sub­ ject to this llmltation. It is not distinct from Himself. It is Him­ self. If it were not, if there were really a distinction between His knowledge and Himself, then He" would have something that His knowledge lacked. In that event it would not be infinite, and we Ilhould have to face the monstro­ sity of an infinite God with limited knowledge. , ; This applies to all His attrl-· 'b4tes - just as GodJs. knowMdge, so He is lov~, He is jU$t1ce.

very self, and therefore not from one anothei·. Whatever God has, He is. And these attributes are not less themselves for being infinite. God's love would not be greater by being distinct from His very self - as ours is!

It is a difficult idea for our minds. But then God must be mysterious to the beings He made of nothing. Live with it; keep it in the mind; and our feeling that the attributes must be distinct will grow less, we shall begin to "see" their oneness' in God. We are now clearer, I hope, as to what God is. We are ready for the question - what is God's life, what does He do with Him­ self? We are ready, in other words, for the great adventure of the Blessed Trinity.

Social Work Aim Differs Today 'NEW YORK mc) - The aim of social work is to help people and communities to help them­ selves, James Fogarty, dean of Fordham University's School of Social Service, said here.

"We have passed the stage where we planned for communi­ ties or for people in communities.

Today we attempt to develop the capacity and resources of the in­ dividual person and of the com­ munity to handle their own af­ fall'S," the, educator told the Catholic Interracial Forum.

In his daily work, the profes­ sional social worker deals with "people who have been hurt by social and economical discriml­ nation1' the dean said. , Among the "hurts" he enu­ merated were bad housing, in­ dustrial accidents, broken homes and exposure to depraved or im­ moral influences.

- "Some of these they bring upon themselves and some are visited upon them by society be­ cause of their race, religion or economic condition," he stated.

ReCOins Life of Cardinal Newman

In Talk to New Bedford Mothers Dr. J. E. Cameron DUl'ant of New Bedford addi'essed a Moth­ er's Day Communion Breakfast held by the NewmaI1 Club of New Bedford Institute of Technology.

Dr. Durant discussed the life of Cardinal Newman and the travail which he underwent prior and subsequent to his conver­ sion to the Catholic Church in 1845. He outlined the reasons for some of the major decisions in Cardinal Newman's life with spe­ cial emphasis on the attack made

by Dr. Charles Kingsley which gave rise to the Apologia Pro Vita Sua. This defense of Newman's life appeared originally In London newspapers as a series of articles which had a wide and enthusias­ tic reading audience who rallied to Newman's support. To this day, it remains one of the most brilliant apologies ever written.

Dr. DUl'ant outlined Newman's

The measure giving Connecti­ cut cities "and towns the' clearly' defined right to grant transpor­ tation to parochial and other private schools was adopted by the State Senate.

'The bureau is 'now_ weighing the "pros Qnd' cons of including stich a question in the 1960 pop­ ulation and housing census, The l'ecent test was designed to, gauge reaction to' the query which opponents have claimed would- be widely reserited. ' Several church-related groups, including the Catholic Press As­ sociation and the National Coun-­ 'eil of Catnolic Men, have urged the question be asked stating that it will aid churches in their future planning and assist schol­ ars in their stUdy of contempor­ ary American society.
