The vials of the drug, chloramphenical, were donated by the international Rectifier Corp., based in Los Angeles, through its subsidiary, Rachele Laboratories here.

Cardinal Richard Cushing of Boston, who in 1958 founded the Misionary Society of St. James, composed of U. S. priests who worked among the underprivileged in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and other Latin American areas, was instrumental in obtaining the important donation.

to. Eric Lidow, president, International Rectifier Corp., said: "I founded the St. James Society for priests who would give a few years of their priesthood to these' poor people in, the slums of South America. Today, the society has about 100 priests 'lmd a half-dozen churches, rectories and clinics."

Difficulty Cardinal . Cushing described the difficult task facing' the priests in caring for the injured. and homeless of Peru.

"They need help and now; you have answered that need. I offer my heartfelt thanks," he wrote.

Lidow said: "The tragic cons~­ quences of a disaster like the Peruvian earthquakes can multiply over the following days and Nee~ecl weeks, unless food, potable water Rachelle Laboratories is one and vital 'medical supplies are of only two U.

Newa rk Prelate Scores Critics Of Pope Paul NEWARK (NC) - Critics of Pope Paul VI were 'themselves criticized by Auxiliary Bishop John J. Dougherty of Newark in a sermon at a Mass marking the 50th anniversary of the Pope's ordination.

Bishop Dougherty spoke, at Sacred Heart Cathedral where Archbishop Thomas A. Boland was chief concelebrant 01" the Solemn Pontifical Mass.

Calling kindness, patience and benignity marks of the love of God which St. Paul said has been poured into us, the bishop said that much of the criticism of the Pope is not marked by this spirit.

Rather, he said, criticism 'is stamped "with 'all too human marks of arrogance, cynicism and outright malice. It is shameful because it is an offense against a venerable and holy person, and because it is not a witness to the spirit, of Jesus, but to the spirit of the world, the spirit of a shabby and sick humanity."

Faith of People No man, he said, is above criticism, but every man on earth "has a right to be spared perverse and cynical criticism."

Bishop Dougherty contrasted his experience in reading "the sophisticated Catholic press" and his contacts with his parishio!,!ers in Short Hills where he has been pastor for a year after resigning as president of Seton Hall University.

He said that he looks in vain for authentic witness to the love of God, but finds it in the faith of the people.

"In addition to this, the association wants to deprive the existing non public schools-CathoIic, Protestant and Jewish~f the state funds which are needed if these schools are to survive.

And the impact on the taxpayer would be tremendous.

"Without some support fro~ the state, our non public schools may indeed have to close their doors. As a result, the taxpayers of this state will have to accommodate approximately 300,000 additional students in our public school system at a cost of $200 million per y.ear.

"The right, indeed the duty to follow one's conscience is an essential teaching of the Catholic Church," he stated.

He quoted from teachings of the Second Vatican Council and from the 1968 "Human Life in Our Day" pastoral letter of the U.S. bishops in which conscientious objection was discussed.

"From what has been said, I feel it is evident that Catholics indeed may be conscientious objectors," Bishop Russell stated.

RICHMONq(NC) Bishop John J. Russell of Richmond has sent letters to draft board officials throughout Virginia, advising them of Catholic Church teachings which permit Catholics to form selective conscientious objections to military service.

"It is my hope that this position will be considered and that all objectors be' judged according to the honesty and sincerity of their beliefs," the bishop wrote.

In addition to the draft board officials, the bishop also sent copies of his letter to President Nixon and U.S. Sens. Harry F. Byrd, Jr., and William B. Spong of Virginia.

In his letter, Bishop Russell said,. in the last few years there have been many "heated discussions" .on issues of war, peace and the draft and many "fundamental religious principles have been overlooked."

Explaining the Church's position regarding selective conscientious -objection, Bishop Russell acknowledged that traditionally the Catholic Church has never been considered a "pacifist sect" The bishop added that "neverthe less there is an ancient and

Analysis Reveals Unemployment Hits Skilled White Labor Hardest WASHINGTON (NC)-Hardest hit by the nation's sharp rise in unemployment this year are the skilled white workers in aircraft, aerospace, weapons and auto industries in the Midwest and on the West Coast.

According to an analysis by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, cutbacks in the defense and aerospace fields have possibly been "primary factors in halting the growth of factory employment since mid-1969."

The housing slump and slower auto sales have also added to joblessness which has climbed. from 1.3 million to 4.1 million persons so far this year, it said.

A White House economist has conceded that unemployment will hover around the five per cent mark for the rest of the year.

"One of the suprising facts about the recent rise in unemployment has been the extent to which it has affected workers in high skill jobs," the bureau reported.

"The jobless rate for the pro-

fessional and technical group has now returned to a level last attained-and then only a very brief period-in 1963," it said.

The rate was then slightly over two per cent.

Unemployment among bluecollar workers climbed from 4.3 I:eJ." cent in December to 6.2 per cent in May, with the sharpest rise also among skilled em. ployees, it said.

It pointed out that Negroes have been less severely affected by unemployment primarily because they have never been largely represented in industries showing the substantial job losses since last year.

Industries "bearing the brunt of the slowdown" are concentrated in the Midwest, "especially in the East North Central area and the Pacific Coast," it said.

In the last 10 months employ: ment has dropped 21.1 per cent in ordinance and accessories, .9.1 per cent in ~ircraft and parts production and 13.2 per cent in motor vehicles. and equipment.

THE ANCHOR-Dio~ese of Fall River-Thurs. June 25, 1970

Bishop's Letter

Voucher .Plan The Dean of the Harvard Graduate' School of Edu~ cation" Theodore it Sizer, has written to The New York, - Times in defense of a "voucher" plan in eduaction. A group of- Harvard researchers has proposed -that the Fed, eral Government, beginning in the Fall of 197i~ woulq give parents in a given area one voucher per elementary school age child equal to the amount spent by neighborj hood public schools for educating each pupil.

Children would then be entered in any area public school or in any area private or parochial school that would choose to participate in the plan., ·The parents would then turn the voucher over to that school which would present it to the government for reimbursement. _ ' , The plan would give parents, more freedom to choose , where their child goes to school and. would provide fi~ nancial assistance needed to upgrade education program~ in all participating schools. , Dean Sizer, argues, in defense of the plan that it would have, on the elementary school level, the same effect that the G.!. Bill of Rights had on the college level...... a strengthening of all school systems. .

The Dean further reasons that a school 'system is strongest when it is supported not by, just one type of financial aid-direct support; in, the case of the public schools-but by direct aid plus tuition aid plus private donations. In this way a school system has total accountability to no one single source of support. Under the prqposed plan, a voucher scheme would allow a beginning of tuition aid to the public schools.

The use of voucher aid by low income' families would provide financial assistance not only to private schoo~s but would be a flexible fo~ of aid to individual public schools in addition to their local direct· support.

Dean Sizer says that it is true that the voucher plan can help independent schools as well as public schools, just , I as the G.!. Bill of Rights helped ,Stanfor.d and Fordham as well as City and State colleges, but this ~nriched bo~h sectors.

As ,Dean Sizer states, "there is implicit public support (through tax abatement) behind every existing independent school and public control, albeit modest, through state and local regulations. We need a spectrum of educational institutions, giving families a variety of schools within strict, constitutional' limits. The public schools, with their base of local-support, will always have a fiscal advantage. They should be able to 'compete' magificently."

Advises Hospital : Officials Mee.t Public's Expectations

CINCI~NA TI (NC)- Delegates to the 55th annual Catholic Hospital Association convention here were challenged to develop a comprehensive plan to meet the public's health care expectations.

"If we fail to meet these expect!ltions, they will be met by a health care system' devised, regulated _and supported from outside our present one," warned Jack A. L. Hahn, convention keynoter. He is president-elect of the American Hospital Association and president of the Methodist Hospital of Indiana in Indiananpolis. .

The new president, Msgr.Edward E. Michelin, told Catholic hospital personnel that in addition to concern for a person's development and well' being, they must witness to the world their respect for life and human dignity.

'Beacon of Light' Msgr. Michelin, director of hospitals of the Natchez-Jack· son diocese, said the association stands "as a beacon of light for Christ and Christian values" in a time when "there is a growing evidence of a lack of respect and a tragic insensitivity to the mystery and dignity of ' human life."

The monsignor succeeded as president Sister M. William Joseph Lydon, who reminded ,the group that their association is dedicated "not only to provide health care services but to promote Christian community.'"

Continued from Page One disease. ,We have assurance from Bishop Swanstrom that "food, medicines and clothing have been supplied. But a letter from Cardinal Dearden of Detroit emphasizes the fact that a great deal of assistance will be needed for rehabilitation.

This is but one want in South America, caused .by a tremblor, as an' earthquake is calIed. But, tragic as this was, it is little in comparison to the daily-life uncertainties for food and clothing and work that hold down the poor-and make the work of our clergy, religious members of the Peace Corps, and volunteers, serving as our emissaries, most important. The basic needs go , on.

Most men and women in Latin American lands eke out a bare existence, tormented by disease, weakened by poverty. These are our brothers and sisters in Christ. We cannot, we must not, refuse to reach out a helping hand to them. What we have done thus far has not healed th~ , unfortunate conditions in which they live, but it hS5 ,saved them from the clutch of .communism.

On next Sunday, June 28th, collections will be taken up in all churches and chapels of the 'Diocese. Having regard to general circumstances, and those special to Peru, I urge that all contribute generously. We have our own troubles indeed. But they are slight compared to our ability to help men and women in dire need.

Be sure that God will not be outdone in generosity, especially when what we do is prompted by love of the brethren.

FaithfulIy yours in Christ, ~ James L. ConnolIy, Bishop of Fall River.

Earthquake Continued from Page One the world who advise the New York office, under the directorship of Most Rev. Edward E. Swanstrom, as to the needs of the area in distress. Californian Antonio Salazar is head of the agency's programs in Peru. He has made daily reports to Bishop Swanstrom on conditions in the earthqake-ravaged northwest sector of Peru.

His assistant and fellow-Californian, Timothy Sharon, provides on-the-spot evaluations froin the disaster areas and together they decide on priorities.

Based on their daily reports, the New York headquarters staff purchase, pack and ship by air the urgently needed relief supplies.

- Bishop Swanstrom announced today that his agency "would continue to do everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the earthquake victims."

Sister William Joseph, provincial administrator of the Sisters of Mercy at DalIas, Pa., recommended that the office of president be opened to lay members as well as priests and Religious.

Ga'rden1er Cit,es Advanta-ge~ Of Ord,~ring Bulbs Early

By Marilyn and Joseph Roderick

-

,

It may seem ,ridiculous to be ordering bulbs in June, ' but I have just completed my annual order for the Fall.

Gardening is as much a preparation fO,r the future as it ~s enjoyment of the present. This year we~'are restocking two sections of the garden with daffodils and tulips, and plan mind at the time. A perfect day but produce a perfect to set out some miniature. can't-help meal even if the only thing you narcissi and crocuses for the have to eat is peanut butter and' ,rock garden.

We ordered two dozen daffodils for a garden which measures about four by ten feet. These will be planted in groups of three which will give us eight clusters of daffodils, a reasonable show.

Daffodils are so bright and cheerful that they can be planted in reasonable numbers without detracting from their effect.

Tulips are a different matter.

They should be planted en masse, all of the same color to produce a 'good effect. For the same garden we are ordering four dozen tulips which will be planted in a fish-tail design.

We· are also ordering a few dozen crocuses to add to our present stock. These we order year after year and plant in masses for the greatest effect possible. They reappear, every year, are no problem .in the garden and are as satisfying as any other plant in the border. ' There are advantages to ordering early. The bulbs you get are usually the best of the stock. They are separated early and packaged for mailing in the·' Fall before the rush is on. With the price of bulbs what it is today the quality of the bulbs one actually gets is an overwhelmingly important consideration.

In the Kitchen Picnics and Summer do seem to go hand in hand. When the nice weather come~ along the children (Melissa and Jason especially) make daily request for picnics, even if they're only as far as their own backyard, Most of the time picnics are a lot of fun; for somehow the food seems to taste better when it's eaten in a more informal atmosphere. I certainly don't consider myself an expert on' what to take to a picnic. I'm the type that forgets the salt when you have hard boiled eggs or_ the knife when you've brought a whole watermelon.

Nevertheless I remain undaunted and. I'm determined to 'improve on my piCnic recipes.

No more will I decide to take chicken only to find that the only pieces I have are stm in the freezer or plan on sandwiches when not a slice of bread can be found in the a r e a . , Today, I often wonder why the lunches I pack for the great outdoors don't taste so. good as those my mother and grandmother used to pack when I was a youngster. '.

I can still taste my grandmother's coffee. She used to fill a huge vacuum jug with the hot liquid heavily laced with sugar and evaporated milk. I 'don't think any coffee that I have had since was as delicious as that particular brew. , Perhaps it was because it was the only time I was ever allowed to drink coffee and' this' forbidden beverage tasted better because my taste for it was so unjaded.

A great deal of the enjoyment of eating in the great outdoors, has to do with your frame of

jelly sandwiches while caviar and file mignon can leave a b(tter taste if the children have been miserable and nothing has gone right. : This Summer I vow to try and dig up some picnic recipes th~t are easy to prepare, yet tasty. : Use this recipe on 'the day you remember to defrost the chicken.

Experienced Travel,ers Give Advice,on Clothing Problems

As vacation time draws near more and more people are contemplating a trip abroad.

(Single girls d' Wh k could follow suit here.) a VIce. at to pac seems Mrs. Balthazar (Connie) is alto be the biggest problem so using Arthur Frommer's book facing any female planning on traveling anywhere.

Women everywhere want to look their very best and the thought of traveling throughout the continent looking a mess is enough to throw cold water on any trip plans.

My principal, Miss Eleanor Lenaghan, has tra,,:eled both at

home' and ,abroad and when asked what she felt were some essential items that a female traveler must take with her she stressed a rain hat, rain coat, one dressy sweater, one every day sweater and just' a couple of pair of shoes (She mentioned the fact that shoes can always be resoled and reheeled, while you wait, so why burden yourself with too many pair).

These items, of course, would go along with a minimum number of drip-dry dresses. Miss Lenaghan also added that because so many travelers carry luggage that is similar 'she always ties brightly colored ribbon on the handles of her suitcases, thus facilitating instant identification of onc's own luggage.

One more tip that she gave that should prove invaluable to this Summer's travelers was to pack just what one would need for overnight in a separate small suitcase; then if you stopped at a hotel for just overnight this would be the only bag that you would need to open.

Lightweight Luggage The first grade teacher in our building, Mrs Arthur Balthazar, has bought quite a few drip dry outfits and these are the dresses she plans to use during her entire 24-day stay in Europe.

She did mention that both she and her husband had bought lightweight canvas-type luggage. As they will be hopping on and off trains and planes they felt that this, would be the most comfortable type for them

FDA Issues Warning On Contraceptives WASHINGTON (NC) - Longawaited warning about oral contraceptives by the Food and Drug Administration has been summed up here as: "These drugs work, but don't take them without a doctor's supervision."

Thls·message to the estimated 8.5 million American women . using birth control pills must be inserted in each pill package by manufacturers within 90 days of the June 11 FDA warning.

The package insert will also declare that the pill is a powerful drug that can cause side effects for some users, that it should not be used at all by some women and that the most serious known side-effect is abnormal blood clotting, which can be fatal.

Europe On $5 a Day as her guide to packing because it contains both a clothing list for Summer packing and one if you're touring the continent during the Winter. Again one can't help b1,1t be impressed by the fact that in the lists it is stressed to keep packing down to a minimum.

Dark Colors In glancing at Frommer's book that Connie loaned me I found that the feature I enjoyed most was the recommendations from readers found at the end of each article.

One letter in particular caught my eye. It was written by an American tourist who had found that dressing in dark colors never looked soiled; the second, and this one' could escape a novice traveler, she ,noted that in dark clothes one was more often than not mistaken for a fellow European and the courtesy she was accorded because of this was well worth giving lip bright colors for.

Miss IIda Brum, my children's godmother, has just returned from a tour of Portugal and Spain so I felt her travel and packing experience would be quite recent. IIda surprised me a bit when she said that on this particular tour she could have used more cocktail or dinner dresses than she had taken.

50a9 Important "I took three dresses for evening but in these countries dinner is quite late and quite dressy and quite a few women in the party felt that they would like to have' taken more changes for the evening."

She went on to say that she found any fabrics with polyester on the label great, especially for shedding wrinkles. Soap was another item that she felt she should have taken more of as European baths are quite generous with towels but completely forget the soap.

These diverse opinions do come together at one point and that is if you want to look your best while traveling don't forget your drip-dries but add a couple of extras, just for your own morale.

Bond Warns on Racism In Integrated Schools WASHINGTON (NC) - Georgia's only black legislator warned members of the Senate Select Committee on Equal Educational Opportunity here that- blacks in so-called integrated schools will not put up with discriminatory practices when school reopens in the Fall.

State Rep. Julian Bond told committee members that blacks' new militancy will lead to action against biased tests, segregated classes, exclusion from sports and extra-curricular activities and the singing of Dixie as an anthem at sports events and assemblies.

Charging that President Nixon's proposal to spend $1.5 billion on school desegregation "smacks of a political payoff," ,Oond urged that the money be spent by interracial committees and used "as a resource for in· novative quality· education."

PRINCETON (NC)-"Do you agree or disagree with college students going on strike as a way to protest the way things are run in this country?"

This question, asked of the nation's adult population in a Gallup Poll, resulted in an answer that 82 per cent were opposed to student strikes as a way of protest to U. S. military involvement in Cambodia.

A 40-year real estate brokt:r put it this way: "There are constructive ways for students to protest and still go to class working for candidates, for example. Disruption is out in my book."

A total of 1,439 persons over age 21 were selected to be interviewed in the recent survey.

WAITING FOR HELP: Your contribution on Sunday will help this young, sad Peruvian see his house rebuilt from the rubble of his former home.

Action In Cambodia SAN ANTONIO (NC)-Retired Archbishop Robert E. Lucey in a sermon here defended U. S. military action in Cambodia as necessary to protect American troops and their Southeast Asian allies.

The former a~chbishop of San Antonio also lashed out at antiwar critics demanding U. S. withdrawal from Indochina, saying they are unable to tell the difference between a moral war and an immoral war.

"At times our country has indulged in the questionable lux~ ury of isolation and neutrality," he told Air Force servicemen attending a Mass at Lackland Air Force, Base chapel. "But I hope· that we have learned that the easy way out of an international dispute doesn't work," he added.'

"Neutrality in the face of an international crime is itself a crime when perpetrated by a major nation."

During the Johnson administration, Archbishop Lucey backed U. S. military involvement in Vietnam saying it" was moral.

He was one of President Lyndon Johnson's official observers of the South Vietnamese elections in 1!;)67.

'None So Blind' Citing the repeate<l. communist attacks on South Vietnam from sanctuaries in Cambodia, Archbishop Lucey told the USAF personnel that President Nixon had "no other choice" when he. ordered troops into Cambodia.

The Archbishop acknowledged . that "millions of Americans" oppose U. S. involvement in Indo china. But he said such opposition by "so many religious leaders, so many college presidents, so large a group of university faculties ,and business leaders 'who cannot· tell the difference between a moral and an immoral war surpasses understanding."

In a stinging rebuke of war critics, Archbishop Lucey said: "Unjust agggression and brave self-defense are miles apart in the scale of moral values, but, there are none so blind as those who will not see'" * '" Quotes Pius XII "The most incredible attacks on our government and our foreign policy have been made by certain leaders in Washington. , It is no wonder that" millions of honest Americans have been shocked and confused by the reckless fault"finding perpetrated by· these men."

He said the United States was . duty-bound by the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty to provide economic and military assistance to Laos, Cambodia and South Vietnam if requested.

"Since 1954 our 'country has had four presi.dents," he said.

"All of them saw the necessity of giving economic and military aid to South Vietnam. Who shall say that four presidents were wrong?" .

- He said more attention should be paid to the teachings of Pope Pius XII who, during World War II, "recognized that sometimes men must fight. and die so that liberty and justice shall live."

Survey. Opi'noons of Canadian Catholics Commission to Present Findings to Bishops I

MONTREAL (NC) - A veritable Pandora's Box of opinions on the role aDd, future of. the French-Canadian Catholic layman in his Church and worla is being opened here by an I IImember inquiry panel.

Known as the Dumont Cbmmission (after its president. Fernand Dumont of Laval Unirer-' sity, Quebec), the board has been' holding .public hearings .eyery weekend since early January in 36 predominantly French-speaking dioceses to' sound opinio~s.

The hearings have be.com~ an exciting topic of' conversation among Canada's 5.7 million French-speaking, Catholics, ; the vast majority of them in; the province of Quebec.

The findings of the hearings, together with in-depth sociological' case studies of laymen's groups- and a series of "spiritual itineraries" of individuals, I are expected to be completed: by April 1971 for presentation to the Canadian bishops.

I According to Archbishop Joseph-Aurele Plourde, presiflent of the Canadian Catholic Conference, the' findings of: the Commission are expected to be "very helpful" in the exploration of grass roots'views on the' role and structuring of a Canadian Pastoral Council, now under study.

--.

The commission grew out of a dispute over finances ;four years ago between French-sector bishops and veteran Catholic Action leaders over projects, purposes and the very identity of Catholic Action and the lay _ I apostolate., Church officiaJs had 'suggested very strongly that Catholic' Action group~ stop functioning. !Participation of Laity • A liaison committee looked into the matter'! The Canadian episcopate approved at its: plenary assembly of April 1967 the establishing of a study commission to examine 'Catholic ~ Action's future. .

_....

The commission;s mandate was subsequently broadened "to, examine the participation of the laity in the mission of the Church," as well as to analyze where Catholic Action groups, which are strong in French dioceses but relatively weak in the English sector, stood in the post-Conciliar period. .

Already more than 700 briefs, ,letters and tape recordings of discussion groups have been re'ceived or heard by the commission.

In a pastoral letter, released to newspapers and read in all . the 270 parishes of his See, Bishop Cirarda said the, arrests endanger "the liberty of the Church". He considers them violations of Spain's concordat with the Holy See which prohibits arrests of priests without permission from their bishops.

The nine priests were arrested earlier il} June on charges of reading to their congregations a document alleging police torture of Basque nationalists.

The document was prepared by five other Basque priests who last year went on a hunger strike to protest social and political conditions in the region.

The government of Generalissimo Francisco Franco has always experienced difficulties with the Basque region, which seeks to retain its traditions and language. The Basque provinces in northwestern Spain include some of the most industrially productive areas of the country.

Charities Official Asks Immediate Welfare Reform ,WASHINGTON (NC)-Millions will remain on "the present inadequate and sometimes inhumane" welfare system, unless immediate action is taken on President Nixon's revamped welfare proposal. ' This warning was issued here

by Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran, secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Charities, to the Senate Finance Committee.

He urged the committee to reopen .hearings on the welfare proposal, improve its questionable parts and report it to the full senate bEfore the end of July.

The proposal's "deficiencies should be corrected and it should be enacted this year," he said in behalf of the principal coordinating agency for the nation's Catholic social welfare.

New Program "The administration has made a more than superficial effort to answer the objections of the Senate Finance Committee," Msgr. Corcoran said' of the Pres-. ident's revised proposal which would replace Medicaid with a new national' health insurance plan for the poor.

The revision comes 10 months after Nixon proposed his original family assistance plan known as H.R. 16311.

The new program, geared, to satisfy: complaints chiefly' from Republicans and conseI:vatives, is designed to overcome fears that the plan would penalize families trying to increase their incomes while receiving assistance. The proposed amendments are designed to in'crease work incentives.

The plan also provides a sliding scale for rent subsidies to the poor, eliminating federal matching assistance to states for families with unemployed fathers.

Needs Study The chief change proposed by the President was for a pre-paid insurance program under which poor families with children would pay some premiums that would buy insurance covering their hospital and doctor bills.

Now under Medicaid, such bills are submitted item by item to the government-a procedure some say has given doctors and hospitals no incentive for holding down their bills.

"Most of the changes announced by the administration seem to be valuable although the legislation itself must be studied carefully," said Msgr.

Corcoran.

He said, however, that "some of the changes are disappointing" such as the elimination of matching assistance to unemployed fathers for whom welfare payments will 'be reduced from the original provisions of the bill."

Challenge Schools' Yule Observance RUTLAND (NC) - A Rutland newspaper editor and his mother have opened court action against municipal and sehool officials here in Vermont in an effort to end observance of Christmas in local public schools.

Kendall Wild, editor of the Rutland Daily Herald, and his mother Elizabeth initiated the court action on the grounds that observance of Christmas in the schools violates the U.S. constitution and the Vermont state constitution.

More than 25 summonses were served against the town's mayor, school superintendent and other public authorities.

Religious Heritage Honors Presidenit Nixon Named Churchman' of the Year WASHINGTON (NC) - President Nixon has, been named Churchman of the Year and lay Catholic leader Mrs. Anna Mae Moynihan, Churchwoman of the Year, by a nonprofit religious group.

In making the awards, Religious Heritage of America, Inc., hailed Nixon "for creating an atmosphere in which we in America can return to a spiritual renaissance." It praised him for taking Sunday worship to the White House.

Also honored by the nonprofit group dedicated to preserving Judeo-Christian ideas :was Father John A. O'Brien, research 'professor of theology at Notre Dame University. He was first to be elected .to the organization's hall of fame "for his outstanding contributions to the religious, life of America for more than 50 years," The organization named Archbishop Iakovos, primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South America, the Clergyman of the Year.

The organization's delegation to the White House for the presidential presentation included

award winners here for its 20th annual National Leadership Conference and awards program.

In addition to the award, the President was presented a 10point program to "sell America to Americans," The program designed to enc,?urage "a positive American attitude" followed a White House request to religious and lay leaders to help achieve peaceful discussions and renewed national appreciation of the spiritual values of the nation.

Also accompanying the delegation was long-time Nixonfriend W. Clement Stone, president of Religious Heritage of America. He cited Nixon's 23 prayer meetings in the White House since his first Sunday in

office, with practically every major denomination represented, including Judaism.

Although many religious leaders have praised Nixon for the, services, he has ~lso been criticized for encroaching on the constitutionnal demand for separation of church and state.

Religious Heritage of America, Inc., presented the late Dwight D. Eisenhower with the same award when he was president.

NEW YORK (NC)-The Catholic Press Association has announced its opposition to the Senate version of a postal reform bill, claiming it would "force discontinuance of many of our member publications," The bill under consideration (S-3842), dubbed the McGeeFong bill, would phase out preferential rates for nonprofit publications in the second and third class bulk mail categories over a 10-year period, beginning in 1972. Dioeesan newspapers are in the former category.

"The Catholic .Press Association has long been in favor of postal reform, but we are opposed to the Senate version," the CPA statement said. "Congress has traditionally 'been most generous in establishing postal rates for nonprofit publications," the statement continued.

It cited President Nixon's April 16 message to Congress that "the mails will be completely self-supporting except for continuing appropriations to reimburse the postal service for revenue lost on mail carried for nonprofit organizations and other groups entitled by law to use the mail free or at specially reduced rates," Telegrams protesting the "phase-out" provision were sent to the members of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee during the recent CPA convention in Chicago. The telegrams were signed by Joseph A. Gelin, press association president. Gelin is managing editor of the Universe-Bulletin, newspaper of the Cleveland diocese.,

Education Directors Attend 'BriefQng' CHICAGO (NC) - Adult education directors and representatives from national agencies with similar programs exchanged ideas at a "briefing" here sponsored by ti)e fledging U.S. Cath olic Conference division for adult education.

Established last January the new division is a clearingthouse of information for ai:lult education programs in dioceses and parishes.

The division is concerned with "adult religious education broad-_ ly conceived," according to Larry Losoncy, director.

"Dioceses diversified approa<;hes to adult education-that's why our division's spectrum is so broad," he said.

Immigrant Aid WASHINGTON' (NC)-A black Missouri congressman announced here that he would move to cut off federal aid Ito Cuban immi· grants because the U. S. government does more for Cubans and Hungarian refugees than it does for its own minority groups.

Democrat William Clay, one of nine black Representatives, said that the Cuban' aid program was a "direct subsidy" of the Castro government's welfare program.

He said that the government will spend about $112 million on Cubans in the next year, from paying for the airlift that brings them to the U. S. to giving them welfare funds.

Miami's Democratic 'congressman, Claude Pepper" said he would support the aid program.

"The situation creates quite a problem," he, admitted, but he predicted that there would be no change in the government's handling of Cuban immigrant problems.

Shiftless. undesirable, indifferent-this could be a description of any poor group in contemporary American societyAmerican' Indians, Mexicans, PlJerto Ricans, or blacks. They are the ones who Edward Ban-

By

REV. ANDREW M.:~{i GREELEY

field, in his recent book The Unheavenly City, suggests may well be beyond any kind of help.

They lack the ability to postpone immediate gratification for some future hope of improvement and are, if Banfield is to be believed, destined never to break out of the iron grips of poverty.

But it is not the American Indians or the blacks or the Spanish speaking, not the migrant workers, not the abject poor of contemporary American cities that are described, and it is not even, the nineteenth, century Irish who, as readers of this column are well aware, were accused of absolutely eveything of which today's poor are accused.

No, it is another immigrant group being described, a group which today is thought by everyone to represE'nt the epitome of thrift, industriousness, sobriety, and ambition-the Germans.

'Germans Shiftless'?

One is staggered by such a Quote taken (with slight editing) from Father Jay Dolan's recent study of the Catholic church in New York city during the first half of the nineteenth century. That the Irish could be accused of being "shanty" is credible, but that the Germans could be considered shiftless, unambitious or lazy seems, from the perspective of our time, to be absurd.

The point of the Quote of course is not to criticize the Germans or the Irish or the blacks or the Indians or the Mexicans or the Puerto Ricans, for that matter.

The point is rather that no immigrant group to the American cities ever looked particularly good during the initial transition era after immigration began.

Professor Banfield suggests that the urban poor of the nineteenth century not only died, but they died out; he argues that since they lacked the ambition to break out of the culture of poverty, and since there is no evidence of their offspring still within the culture of poverty, obviously they did' not reproduce themselves.

In Evidence Today It is a Quaint line of reasoning but, as an altemative hypothesis, one might suggest that the grandchildren of the shanty Irish and the shiftless Germans are very much in evidence in

that the Irish and German suburbanites appeared on the scene by spontaneous generation, which would be Quite a feat even for such talented. ethnic groups.

I do not wish to be too critical of Professor Banfield's The Unheavenly City. Though the book is badly flawed by its tendency to push the "lower <;lass" theory further than anyone has ever pushed it, still raises many important issues about urban problems and serves as a marvelous antidote to those who think that there are simple, easy solutions to the difficulties of the city.

He is also correct in noting that indifference, apathy and shiftlessness are part of the problem of poverty. The record of the shiftless Germans and the shanty Irish would indicate that these need not be insoluble problems, not at least for most human beings Instant' Solutions One of the currently fashionable cliches says that if we could put a man on the moon we ought to be able to solve the problems of poverty (or pollution or any. other problem with which the nation is faced).

'The only honest reply is to say that putting a man on the moon is child's play (probably in more sense than one) in comparison with the' problems of poverty and discrimination.

To get a man on the moon one had to solve problems of power and engineering, which are well within the limitations of present human knowledge, but the problems of the urban slums require skills, competencies and knowledge that we do not at the present time have.

Demands for instant solutions by militants of the left or' the right are demands than cannot be met. In our age of slogans and cliches there seems to be no middle ground between saying that we have solutions that will work- and saying that no solutiOn is possible. ' One either demands, as do· the young radicals, ·that American society solve the problem of poverty and hunger at once under pain of rejection or one looks at the complexities, as does Professor Banfield, and concludes that we have no choice but to wait for the urban poor to die off (though Banfield laments that modern medical progress seems to have reduced the serviceability of such a solution).

Sees Hope There was a time when it was possible to be a social reformer and acknowledge' that progress would take time, effort, energy, resources and, above all, patience. But patience has gone out of fashion. Instant solutions or despair-that is the alternative.

However, one might be forgiven if one would hazard the guess that it is at least possible that by the time the Republic celebrates its three. hundreth anniversary-if it has not been torn apart by civil war or destroyed by senseless foreign involvements or choked to death by its own affluence-a good

Davis S.J, who resigned to accept an appointment as assistant for development to the director of the Communications Department of the U.S. Catholic Conference.

The John LaFarge Institute was established by the editors of America out of respect for the memory of their colleague, the widely known' priest, author, journalist' and pioneer in the fields of interracial justice and inter-religious relations. The institute came into existence a . year after Father LaFarge's death in 1963.

Stonehill College to Inaugurate Evening Division Credit Stonehill College will open an evening division in September, 1970, with credit courses leading to undergraduate degrees. Since' its foundation Stonehill has served the local comm'unity with general-interest, business and special-interest evening courses on a non-credit basis with an average enrollment of approximately 1000 persons a year in this program.

The College now hopes to enhance this community service by offering adults in its vicinity the availability of credit courses . and the potential of obtaining a college degree.

The Evening Division will operate a separate structure from the day program and will be a part of the Division of Continuing Education. Although admissions procedures will differ somewhat for the evening college due to varying circumstances of previous education of adults, the standards of curricu o lum and instruction will be maintained at the same level as that of the regular day college.

The academic dean of the evening school will be. Rev: Peter J. Donahue, C.S.C., M.Ed., S.T.M., who takes up his duties at Stonehill next month, coming here from Catholic University.

Urges Observance .

Of 'Fast Sunday' CULVER CITY (NC)-A suggestion has been made here in California that American Catholics observe Nov. 22, the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, as' "fast Sunday."

The suggestion calls for giving "mother a rest from the kitchen," serving the simplest of meals and donating the savings "from this small sacrifice, along with whatever else y<e can spare" to a nationwide collection to aid . the poor.

Dale Francis, publisher, in a column in Twin Circle, national Catholic newspaper, made the suggestion. He said "fast Sunday" could augment the plan of U. S. Catholic bishops to conduct a collection on the Sunday before Thanksgiving in all Catholic parishes to aid the country's poor. The bishops have set a $50 million goal for the collection. '

When I complained to the ,uniform company representative, she' countered. "That's how sister says they're- supposed to fit."

The most unchanging teaching in Cahtolic Schools is the infallible power of the two words, "Sister Says."

If "sister said" the grass was blue, the children would believe it, imediately look to the . grass to turn blue - and the grass just might clo it.

It seems that the range of authority covered by "Sister Says" covers everything from astrology to zoology, and my' children accept it without a question. But, I find a conflict arises 'because what "Mommy Says" doesn't always agree with what "Sister Says."

Guaranteed 'Washable' It was bad enough getting "Sister Says" from my children; now I was' hearing it from the fitter. I didn't believe' her, though, because it soon became obvious that she just did not want to exchange the unifor.m. .

In my earlier days, I dutifully bought school uniforms as required. Trusting the tag, I put "guaranteed washable" navy Dlue . Rants into 'the machine.

They came out looking like a limp rag completely covered by little lighter blue bits of fuzz solidly locked onto the fabric.

I learned' they were, only guaranteed "washable."" No one had claimed anything about pilling or their ability, to retain any body in the fabric.

So the' conflict arose because "Sister, Said'~. uniforms had to be bought through school -and I kept trying to buy anything that would come close' to matching, as long as I didn't have to go through' the frustra-

We pray for them, and they pray for tis. New energy sprouts with vacations over and school beginnings. And nature refreshes our outlook on life with harvest festivals, apples, pumpkin pie and colored leaves. .

WINTER spirituality is' best of all for sharing and glvmg to others. November means Thanksgiving. We recall our many bless- . ings; share a meal in celebration together; and gather food and clothes to give to the poor. '.

December carries th~ spirit of Christmas. Everyone thinks about giving gifts to others. Family ties are the closest .at Christmas. Whether religious or commercial, carols-bells-and colored lights ring out the message of Christ's birth and peace on earth. We say then. If only this spirit could last all year long!

Finally, New' Years gives us hope, new beginnings, resolutions and celebration.

Rebuff Efforts; To, Settle Strike

Former Prisoner M~ll'ks Anniversary

CALEXICO (NC)-Members of a U. S. 'bishops :group , seeking settlement of a' strike between unionized 'farm workers and melon growers ~in this border area were rebuffed by growers.

The 'motel where the group was staying was picketed by young people hired by growers with signs reading "Catholic Bishops Go Home."

At one growers' office where the group had ,been received earlier, a woman ordered the group off the property and told ·them:. "You should be teaching religion and . should stay out of the farm labor problems.".

Auxiliary Bishop Joseph F. Donnelly of Hartford, Conn., chairman of the group named by the U. S. bishops seeking to settle the strike, told a press conference: "I regret to report that we have made very little progress and that we have not been well received by the official spokesman for the growers."

The bishop stated when they sought out ~he growers spokesman "we were given to understand, in no' uncertain fashion, that any efforts we might make w.ould not receive their cooperation."

Bishop Donnelly was accompanied here by Bishop, Hugh A. Donohue of Fresno, and by Msgr.

. SPRING spirituality begins with Lent. Our thoughts turn to sacrifice, giving, and dying to our petty selfishness. We meditate on the quality of our life. We reflect on Our Lord's passion, suffering, and dying. We celebrate His giving us the Eucharist and the love· which redeems us.

Fall, Whiter, Spring are each enhanced by both religious and non-religious holidays.' Each attune our, disposition to giving to others-to family togetherness-to experiencing God alive in our lives.

But Summer spirituality is difficult to describe. The Fourth of July doesn't do what Christmas does. Our thoughts are turned to vacations, travel, outdoors, and rest. It is a wonderful time of the year for family outings, picnics, and neighborhood cookouts.

We all need a vacation from work and routine to rest and "recreate" our tired dispositions. But unfortunately for many, unlike the other seasons, summer loses, that spiritual awareness.

Spirituality is not a season, a holiday or a disposition.

For all ,of life is a' celebration-ali of life is real with the spirit of God. We' cannot take a vacation from God or life, as we cannot take a vacation from loving others. ,Missionaries preach the Word "in season and out of season."

They need your support all year round. The suffering poor of the world are poor all year. Christmas is all year-Christ is born in Latin America, Asia, and Africa every day! Easter is all year-Christ suffers today the Way of 'the Cross in two-thirds of the world's peoples.

International Compromise: Possible Indochina Solution

THE ANCHO,R-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 25, 1970

15

One of the tragic by-products of the war in Vietnam is the number of American citizens-especially young citizens-who think that America's involvement is dishonorable, not mistaken. But America was drawn into Indochina ,as a result of nearly 20 years' experience of "con- Now the struggle has started with Marshal Ky leading tainment"-in other words, again his troops on Phnom Penh. of checking Soviet expan.

teeth. It would - pleasant for South Korea not to fear a renewal of the Korean civil war by a thrust from the North. It would be pleasant indeed if the Middle Eastern vacuum of power on the Arab side did not suck Moscow in.

But the realities of the world an overare that Russia is whelmingly large power and either by fear or ambition (or, more likely, by a mixture of both) cannot be relied on to respect other peoples' boundaries.

The Europeans have most reason to know this and it is in Europe that "containment" has worked best, keeping West Berlin and Jugoslavia and,· for that matter, Austria in command of their own policies.

For America to consider containment a rational policy is not a mark of feeblemindedness or guile or dishonor. It is • simply accepting a fact of life in an anarchic world where a balance of power between the giant states is the only restraint they recognize.

The tragedy 'of Vietnam is that it was an area in which containment probably could not work. This was because the war was both a civil war and a colonial war and America blundered 'on to the side of seeming to support the end of the French colonial system and the side which firmly held in the North.

In addition, as the Cambodian development has shown, there were shadows of still earlier conflicts flickering over the Vietnamese struggle. For centllries, the Khmers (or Cambodians) have been crushed between the advance of the Thais from the North and the Annamites (or Vietnamese) from the coast.

The various peoples of Laos have equally been squeezed by the two dominant tribes. The French stopped all this for 80 years by colonizing e~erybody.

New Diocese VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI has established the new Angola diocese of Benguela and named as its first bishop Father Amaral Dos Santos. The new Portuguese African diocese is centered in the city of Benguela and is formed from territory taken from the already existing diocese of Nova Lisboa ,. (New Lisbon).

This is so desperate and confused' a combination of ancient and modern history, of nationalism and ideology,. of anticolonialism and independence that all clear lines and identifiable strategies are lost in a depth of muddy obstruction as deep as rice paddies after the .)

Monsoon.

This is where America is caught I),ot in dishonor ·but in confusion, not in "imperialism" but in muddle, not in agression but in deep mistakes.

So the intense problem is: how to get out without even deeper trouble. Those who advocate a straight American withdrawal by fixed dates regardless of the consequences are sure'that only such a move will compel the government in Saigon to give up dreams of victory and get down to the political problem of devising a government for' the South in which Buddhists, Viet Congand other strong minorities (or maCHURCH: Survivors of Peru earthquake gather around makeshift altar outside ruinjorities) are represented.

NEW ORLEANS (NC)-Father Morton A. Hill,: S.J., member of the 18-man Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography, said here he fears the cOll,lmissipn's scheduled report will result in legalization of pornography and obscenity in the United States.

"I'm afraid it will legalize the whole thing," Father Hill said.

"I'm afraid it will make another Denmark."

Denmark has legalized pornography ~ith provisions against public display and sale to youths under 16.

The priest expressed his fears about the commission report during a press conference· at Loyola University prior to an address to a meeting of the National !nstitute for Religious Communications.

Ultra.Liberal Makeup The presidential commission, which was established in 1968, is scheduled to release its report in August, but Father. Hill said it has yet to reach the rought draft stage since individual panel reports are still outstanding. , Although the report is in its early stages, Father Hill said he is convinced the ,"ultra-liberal" makeup of the commission will result in a ,report "that will make no 'recommendations that will solve our (obscenity and pornography) problem."

Regarding the commission's attempts to determine if obscene or pornographic material is or is not harmful, Father Hill contended such a determination cannot be rriade. But he added that he expects the commission will find obscenity and pornog-

Requests Dialog~e With Candidates CUERNA v ACA (NC)-Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceo of Cuernavaca ha.~ requested an ,"open dialogue" with presidential candidates on Mexico's anti-Church laws.

Because many of the laws in practice are now largely ignored, hte bishop charged that the laws "force upon citizens a steady diet of fiction and civic immaturity."

Bishop Mendez presented his request personally to Luis Echeverria Alvarez, presidential candidate of the Partido Instituctional Revolucionario, during Echeverria's campaign visit to the town of Anenecuilco, in the state of Morelos.

raphy do not have harmful effects and will therefore recommend legalization of all por.nography. ~eparate Hearings Partly because of his differences with the cbmmission, Father Hill, who is also. president of Morality in Media, Inc., has been instrumental in conducting obscenity and pornography hearings separate from the commission in 12 cities.

Father Hill presented what he considers a two-fold solution to the obscenity and pornography problem: Total autonomy of local courts in determining obscenity, thus rendering irreversible by the Supreme Court a local court's ,12-' man jury decision or pornography or obscenity.

Elimination of the social value issue from the test for obscenity because, "If a thing is obscene,' it has no social value," he said.

New Rochelle Has Layman President NEW ROCHELLE (NC)-Dr. Joseph P. McMurray, 58, president of Queens College, New York, since 1965, is the first layman president of the College of New Rochelle. He was named to the post by the college bOflrd of trustees.

His appointment breaks the succession of Ursuline nuns who have headed the women's college here since 1950. He succeeds Sister Theresa C. Falls.

Dr. McMurray will continue in the Queens College post until his successor is named. His varied experiences include serving as a banking counselor for several foreign nations; serving in special assignments for the federal, New York state and city governments. McMurray is a native of New York City and an alumnus of Brooklyn College.

The influential journal called the Brazilian prelate "an eminently worthy choice for the Nobel Prize-if not, indeed, virtually an inevitable choice."

Archbishop Camara, the edi· torial said, "deserves recognition for his work among Brazil's poor, his efforts to bring about land reform, his role in the formulation of Vatican II's statements on social justice, his contribution to international understanding."

"On the one hand the statement maintains that the decision to have an abortion should be left to the woman and her physician. In the very next sentence, the statement maintains that no hospital should be required to admit a patient for abortion," Father McHugh observed.

Leasing Plan Continued from Page One Father Clark said enrolling the children as public school students would make the board eligible for reimbursement from the state for new pupil expenses.

This would mean the board itself would not incur any added financial burden.

The plan would be in effect only during September and October if Catholic school children were enrolled as full-time public school students, and from September to December if they were enrolled as part·time students.

Father Clark said religion classes would be taught before or after school if the full-time plan was adopted, and during the latter half of the day if the part-time plan was approved.

F'inanci.al Report Shows Diocese Fiscally Soun'd PORTLAND (NC) - For the first time in its 117-year history, the Portland diocese has issued 'a public financial report covering income and expenditures of the chancery, parishes and other , offices.

-' Bishop Peter L. Gerety, releasing the report in a letter pUQIished in the Church World, the diocesan newspaper, said the diocese "is in a fiscally sound condition as a result of the generous support" of the state's 270,000 Catholics. ' The report, accompanied, by charts showing both percentage and dollar figures showed receipts for the last fiscal year totaled $8,261, 535 and expenditures, $7,448,567.

For the past few months the diocesan finance office has used new methods of budgetary coqtrois and of fiscal reporting. The new system involves a computerized program for the 142 parishes in the diocese encompassing the entire state of Maine and including 78 missions and sta, tions and 35 elementary schools and some '14,000 students.' . Campaign Goal Also in the financial statement is a progress report on the bishop's campaign which was set in motion in 1968 to raise $4.25 million over a three-year period.

As of April 10, 1970, it had realized a total of $2,106,924.

Bishop Gerety said "as of the moment, more'than 50 per cent of the campaign goal" has been reached. As of Jan. 31, 1970, a total of $1,376,175 from that campaign had been exp'ended for various church services and programs such as the priests retirement home, cathedral renovation, homes for the elderly and unwed mothers and camping for underprivileged children.

Bishop Carter discussed the problem with Pope Paul; with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Jean Villot; with Cardinal John J. Wright, prefect of the Congregation of the Clergy; and with Archbishop Philippe.

Bishop Carter also brought with him a list of Canadian priests awaiting Vatican action on their dispensation requests.

Following Bishop Carter's visit and Archbishop Philippe's letter of reply, Archbishop Plourde announced that the conference would take steps at the national level to help improve the situation.

Negro Married Melil Get More Income WASHINGTON (NC) - Negro married men moved toward parity with whites in new blue collar jobs during the past decade, according to a U. S. Census Bureau report.

Between 19601 and 1969, NeerQes got 28 per cent of the new craftsmen and operative openings going to family men although they represent only 11 per cent of the population. Those openings include industrial workers and specialists such as carpenters and plumbers, but not sales workers or laborers. ' During the same period, the median income of the married Negro blue collar worker jumped 44 per cent while income for white married men in the same occupation rose 27 per cent.

The unpublished repprt was prepared by request and expense of Star Levitan of,George Washington University's Center for Manpower Policy 'Studies. It dealt only with the earnings of husbands and did not include the 30 per cent of the nation's five million Negro households headed by a woman..

Urges Veterans To Seek Justice In So. Afrca VATICAN CITY (NC)-Pope Paul VI told a group of war veterans from South Africa that he hopes they will make "personal contribution to the reign of justice" in their country and in the world.

The Pope did not refer specifically to the racial problems in South Africa, which has adopted the policy of apartheid, or strict racial segregation.

But the Pontiff spoke to the 260 veterans (June 11) on the themes of justice and peace.

Speaking of the return of the war veteran's to Italy, the Pope said: "Our immediate thought is for your beloved dead, those whom you have come to honor by your visit. We join you, in prayerful and affectionate commemoration of them as they lie interred in the soil of a nation other than their own, in the hope of resurrection."

Then he immediately turned his thoughts to peace and war, saying: "At the same time our meditation is concentrated on the malice of war and on the great blessing which is peace.

Like yourselves we know the disastrous reality which is war."

Justice, Peace The Pope repeated the vision of the Old Testament that looks forward to the day when peoples "will hammer their swords into ploughshares, their spears into sickles."

But it was at the conclusion of the talk that Pope Paul introduced the twin theme of justice and peace. Repeating the words of Pope Pius XII-"Peace is the work of justice Pope Paul said: ,"We hope' that you,dear friends, will make your personal contribution to the reign of justice in your country and in the , world. Through this you wilt hasten the day of that blessed vision, the day of peace."

R~p$ Pb"'~$bY~@Il'~~n~ Oil'll S~X WASHINGTON (NC)-A Washington Presbyterian minister who has spent more than 15 years working with young people said here that he regards a report on sexual morality prepared by a Presbyterian study group as "asbolutely devastating to the morals of young people."

Rev. William Drury said that the report could not help but affect the thinking of young people of all denominations.

"Say what you will," he emphasized, "this document will give license to hundreds of thousands of young people 0) 0) 0) to engage in sexual activities where, heretofore, they were bound by the teachings of the Scriptures."

The report was accepted for further study by the general assembly of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. at its annual meeting. The Presbyterian assembly emphasized at the time that acceptance of the reo port, described by its author as "liberating", does not imply endOrsement of the study's contents.

A departure from the "thou shalt not" approach to sexual morality, the report emphasizes the need for personal responsibility in sexual relations.

Study Theolo,gy,of Permanent Diaconate Committee Discusses Basic Questions WASHINGTON (NC)-A commitee of scholars has begun its work to probe the theology of the "permanent diaconate"-a vocation possibility for both married and unmarried men ordained to the level of orders just below the priesthood.

The U. S. Bishops' Committee on the Permanent Diaconate had asked the Catholic Theological Society of America to establish the committee, so that the theology of the diaconate can be studied while 'work to set up diaconate programs continues.

The six theologians used their first meeting, held here recently, to decide how their study would proceed, and for a free-wheeling discussion of basic questions on the deacon and his role. Included among their observations were: "There has to be some guidance from the New Testament.

It can't be completely arbitrary."

Four Questions Father William Philbin, executive director of the Bishops' Committee on the Permanent Diaconate, was also present.

The Bishops' committee has asked the six scholars to tackle four basic questions in their theological probing: What is the role of the deacon and how far do his powers extend?

Should deacons administer the sacrament of the anointing of the sick?

Should there be temporary as well as permanent deacons?

Should women be ordained deacons? .

The six scholars plan further meetings during the Summer.
