Urge World Parley on Housing Give Whole Person Priority VANCOUVER ~:C)-The Vatican has urged th,at goals of making human habitation fualy human take a high priority in the plans of the nations around the world. At the United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat) here in Canada, both a papa'l message and an interdelegation stressed the urgency of habitation problems and the habitation problems and the need for solutions that promote the good of the whole person. In his message Pope Paul VI called upon' the international community of the UN to express its concern for human beings in future.- settlements through "a clear political will and a serious spirit of collaboration." The . statement, read during plenary debate by Bishop Edouard Gagnon, head of the Vatican Committee on the Family and leader of the Vatican de'!egation, marked the second time the Pope had directed a message to the 12-day session, the largest held by the UN. Last fall, in.. a statement to Habitat Secretary General Enrique Penalosa, the Pope called the. problem of human settlements one of the "most serious and urgent" issues confronting modern humanity. In the message here, the Pope

said the "drama of earthquakes" in several parts of the world has recalled to public awareness the importance of home and environment to the individual. The Pope's message praised the proposed Habitat affirmation of general princip'les being studied here for stressing the theme that "human beings constitute the most important element in the universe.. It said that the conference, while noting the primary problem-solving role of technicians and sociaIly motivated "creative geniuses," was praiseworthy for its emphasis upon the "constructive participation of peoples" in its decision-making. The present conference will make "once more possible" the affirmation of clear political will by the nations, the Pope said, and it will enable international cooperation "to be expressed in bold, realistic and precise programs." And behind the scenes, long into the night, scattered in half a dozen downtown sites and in chilly recycled airplane hangars at . the Habitat Forum, government officials, world experts and blue-jeaned youthful idealists agonized over the same problem: how to translate success-story models of urban solutions in路 various countries into

policies for humane habitations in a world which will double in popu'lation by the year 2000. The "largest ever" in a series of special UN conferences on food , population, environment Tum to Page Six
