The cardinal cited the disturbing questions afflicting the consciences and souls of priests as they view their mission in the world today.

He said young priests particularly suffer from a sense of insufficiency, internal tensions and impatience for reform.

Recalling Pope Paul VI's warning against the danger of conforming to the world's standards, Cardinal Cerejeira said the most frequently recurring problems concerning the modern priest involve professional work in the secular area, political involvement and celibacy.

Papal Message Goes

On Moon Journey WASHINGTON (NC)-A dedicatory inscription written personally by Pope Paul VI and a small papal flag were among items the astronauts of Apollo 11 took with them to be left on the surface of the moon. Pope Paul sent to the U.S. government a parchment containing the Latin cance of the history-making mission. text of Psalm 8 and a dedi- space Archbishop Raimondi was incatory inscription which he vited as a guest of the governpenned with his own hand at the end of the psalm.

The Pope asked Archbishop Luigi Raimondi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States, to present the document to Dr. Thomas O. Paine, administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It was subsequently photographed in miniature and placed, together with other messages similarly photographed, in a specially prepared capsule to be carried aloft by the astronauts and left on the lunar surface.

A small papal flag was among many other flags also taken to the moon.

The gesture of the Pope, a spokesman at the Apostolic Delegation here explained, is intend-" ed to stress the spiritual signifi-

ment to witness the launching of Apollo 11. He had previously attended the launching of Apollo 8 on Dec. 21, 1968.

An English translation of Psalm 8 and Pope Paul's dedicatory inscription follow: o Lord, our Lord, how glorious is your name over all the earth! You have exalted your majesty above the heavens.

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have fashioned praise, because of your foes, to silence the hostile and the vengeful.

When we behold the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you set in place.

who do not know or love Him and the priest immersed in secular vocations that endanger his true mission, he said.

He told priests that celibacy, loved and accepted, makes those who embrace it more like Christ.

And the cardinal charged that the insistent discussion about celibacy shows a decline in faith.

Cardinal Cerejeira said also that restrictions are placed on priests' involvement in political or social affairs because of their total consecration to Christ. This does not mean, however, that they should avoid offering assistance in improving the lot of human beings, he added. The Church's part in the betterment of human conditions is too often overlooked, he continued. The priest, by his very nature, is dedicated to the defense of human values, he said.

Fr. Bussard Loses F8r5t Round To Prevent Ouster ,from DDigest ST. PAUL (NC)-Father Paul Bussard lost the first round in his court fight to prevent his ouster as publisher of the Catholic Digest magazine, which he helped to found in 1931i.

A temporary restraining order against the College of St. Thomas here, owner of the magazine, was dissolved by Judge Leonard Keyes' of Ramsey County District C.Durt in a memorandum opinion.

The temporary injunction against the college had been in effect for a week. It restricted, the college from removing Father Bussard, 65, as publisher and as editor of the Catholic Digest Book Club. .

Judge Keyes said in the ruling the dissolution of the injunction does not rule out other "possible legal remedies, should such be sought in an amended action,"

by Father Bussard.

The college took control of the magazine, which, has a drculation of 560,000, and its 'ancillary operation in '1964 in an agreement to which Father Bussard was a party. The properties are estimated to be worth $1 million.

'C '" f d' annot Be £on or«:e Father Bussard took the court action, obtaining the week-long injunction on June 30. He contended it was part of the agreement with the college, when the properties were turned over to it, that he would continue as publisher.

Father Bussard said Bishop James P. Shannon; who has resigned as auxiliary bishop of St. Paul and Minne~polis, signed the contract. The bIshop then was a monsignor and president of the college.

Msgr. Terrence Murphy, the college president, contested the court action by Father Bussard.

Judge Keyes said in his opin-

ion such a contract for employment tenure as ,described by Father Bussard "cannot be judidally enforced, not even temporarily."

"A preliminary examination of the merits of the conflict between the parties reveals' the probable' absence of a contract for continuous employment," the judge's memorandum stated.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Archbishop'Luigi Raimondi, ,apostolic delegate in the United States, paid what he called "a courtesy visit" to the White House where he met for about half an hour with President Nixon.

The prelate declined to comment. on his visit. He merely shrugged his shoulders when he was asked if he and Mr. Nixon discussed the President's recent decision not to send a diplomatic envoy to Vatican City.

Pe~er Flanigan, a special presi· dential assistant, recently delivered a message from President Nixon to Pope Paul VI in Vatican City, but contents of that message have not been disclosed.

The Vatican press officer, Msgr.

Fausto Vaillainc, said "there is no indication that Mr. Flanigan * * ':' mentioned (the President's decision) to the Holy Father at the July 3 audience."

When Nixon made his decision not to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Vatican, Ron L. Ziegler, White House press secretary, said the President, however, does wish to maintain "close communication" with the Vatican and believes this can be done effectively "by 'sending high-level officials" to Vatican City from time to time.

WASHINGTON (NC)~Seriou's crime in the United States, like the cost of living, continues on the rise.

FBI figures releas~d by Atty.

Gen. John N. Mitchell show that serious crime increased nationally by 10 per cent in the first three months of this year, as comp'ared with the first, three months of 1968: The figures for the entire year of 1~68 showed a sharp increase over 1967.

Disclosure of these latest figures was overshadowed by the stepped up debate on taxes, par- ' ticullirly'the extension' of the 10 per cent surtax; the cost of borrowing money, and the rise in living costs generally. Crime has both a direct and indirect influence . on the cost of living and the transaction of business.

However, Sen. Joseph b. Tydings (D.-Md.), chairman of the Senate District of Columbia committee, has been moved to say this city is "on the verge of ' losing a year in the war on crime," and to charge the Nixon administration with substituting "crime crisis rhetoric" for action.

In Each Classification Sen. Tydings also charged that the report of the President's Commission on Crime, issued two years ago, "gathers dust on too many city government shelves" rOilnd the country.

'At the same time, a Nixon administration spokesman expressed confidence that a' package of anti-crime bills for Washington would be ready in July.

The figures released by the attorney general showed increases in each crime classification used in the national Crime Index. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover drew attention to this fact, pointing out that crimes of violence as a group rose eight per cent, with murder up seven per cent, forcible rape

1'2' per' cent,'

aggravated 'assault eight per cent, and robbery 22 per cent.

Cities with 100,000 and more of population referred to as the "large cities," had an average ,rise in serious crime of 10 per cent, while suburban areas had an 11 per cent increase and rUl;al areas seven per cent.

Northeastern States reported a 12 per cent rise, North Central States' 10 per cent, arid the Southern and Western States nine per cent each.

James E. Rea, a New York archdiocesan priest who has been the Catholic student counselor at Columbia for the past 13 years.

The changes were in line with recommendations by a committee formed by university trustees in 1966 to undertake a comprehensive study of religious life at Columbia. That committee was headed by the Rev. John D. Cannon, who resigned as chaplain of Columbia last month.

Changing Needs In its report, the committee urged Columbia to "be responsive to the changing needs of students and other members of the university community and to the changing climate of religious life in society at large."

The committee said that while the system of externally appointed counselors may have worked well for "a small minority" of students, "we affirm the right of any group of university members to organize or assemble for religious purposes and we believe that the university has a continuing responsibility to facilitate the interests of such religious groups."

Under the old system, religious advisers were appointed byt' four bodies recognized by the university for that purpose. They were the Jewish Advisory Board, the Catholic archdiocese of New York, the Protestant Foundation and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Choose Advisers In the reorganization, student groups will choose their own religious advisors and will also be responsible for paying their salaries. The university will provide the counselors with the use of Earl Hall, which has housed Columbia's religious activities for the past 60 years. Msgr.

Rea's salary as director of tile center will be paid by Columbia, but he will be involved more in the operation of the center than in religious counseling.

University officials said 17 campus groups have expressed interest in the program of the Center for Religion and Life. If all form religious groups, the number of religious advisers on campus would increase from four to 17.

Msgr. Rea said the center would "provide the student body at Columbia with a place for open forum, an easy atmosphere for discussion and dialogue, unstructured opportunities for the development of workshops, seminars and ad hoc committees, religious services, counseling services and an open invitation for experiments in the development of spiritual, philanthropic and religious life.

"The idea," Msgr. Rea said, "is to work out a more ecumenical operation, more in tune with the times."

first to admit that she doesn't know. "Mission methods are being re-evaluated in Japan, and we don't know what direction they'll take." She's realistic about the task, however. "I recently visited the UN in New York and talked to a Japanese official. He was polite but discouraging. 'We have been Buddhists for 2000 years,' he said, 'and Christianity will not have an easy time.' " Sister Ann Marie requested service in Japan because she feels "it is a searching nation of men needing inner peace, probably because of the country's tremendous industrialization; also because Japan is the hope of the Orient since other Eastern nations look to it for technical aid."

For Life The missioner's assignment will probably be for life, "but we have home visits every five years," she hastens to add.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Poisson of Our Lady of Grace parish, Westport, Sister Anne Marie is a 1958 graduate of Fall River's Mt. St. Mary Academy. Her interest in the missionary community began when a Maryknoll priest spoke at the Mount, and was further whetted by mission literature she picked up at the Brockton Fair, "of all places! It shows that you never know where the seed may be planted."

After working for a year following high school, Sister Anne Marie entered Maryknoll. Preceding her present assignment, she worked in the business office of the community's motherhouse, and attended Mary Rogers College. Spare-time was amply filled with tutoring in Harlem, adult education work in nearby White Plains, and aiding a girls' sewing class in Ossining, N.Y. For her fellow Maryknollers, Sister Anne Marie also ran a

Criticize Decision On Desegregation WASHINGTON (NC) - The Nixon administration finally issued its long awaited policy statement on school desegregation guidelines and promptly found itself accused of having tried to placate civil rights leaders and southern conservatives alike.

If that was the administration's intention,. it failed. The statement was roundly denounced by liberals and civil rights spokesmen and received only lukewarm praise from Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, perhaps the Senate's most outspoken advocate of delay on desegregation.

At issue was the real intent behind the 2,000-word statement approved by President Nixon.

The statement said the administration intends to hold Southern school districts to the September, 1969, deadline for desegregation -but it added what may prove to be a crucial" qualification on that policy.

When "bonafide educational and administrative problems" exist, the statement said, then exceptions may be. made.

At home this month, Sister Anne Marie enjoyed visits with friends and family, including a brother and sister in Westport and a brother in Fall River, all married. She will be in San Francisco until Monday, when she will embark on a two week voyage by freighter to Yokohama.

Approve Changes For Brothers TORONTO (Nt) - "My idea of a Brother has changed since Vatican II," said Brother Gerard Sherrer, F.S.C. "Thank God for that."

Brother Gerard was one of a group of Brothers interviewed by The Canadian Register newspaper on a wide variety of matters pertaining to their present status in the changing Church.

Their answers were progressive and optimistic.

"Change is a sign of growth," Brother Gerard observed. "The basic change (for Brothers) is more freedom, and the urge and push to get involved with other things than one's own little house or school. There's a real surge to get people involved in other forms of apostolic activity. This is a good thing."

Brother James Dunsky, S.M., spoke of a "changeover from the monastery idea for religious houses.

"We have moved from a strictly educational rol~ to many _ works, from running mission airlifts in Africa to handling minor urban renewal in Dayton, Ohio, helping out in cooking schools, working for welfare departments."

The diocese's Fund for Aid to Neighbors in Need gave the money to William Haden's United Movement for Progress to be used for a youth program in the city's predominately black Homewood section. Of that amount, $10,000 was for Haden's salary.

It was explained that the diocesan fund has a limited amount of money and therefore usually does not extend a grant beyond a year. After helping a needy group for one year, the fund then seeks other causes.

The initial granting of the money to Haden caused critical reaction among some Catholics here.

YOUNGSTOWN (NC)-Bishop James W. Malone of Youngstown has given his support to the boycott of California table grapes currently being organized in Canton and Youngstown.

Calling attention to the plight of grape pickers, Bishop Malone asserted.

"Our refusal to buy grapes at this time is a small deprivation for the sake of the human rights of a most neglected segment of our society."

In the Canton area, a citizens committee for United Farm Workers has obtained pledges from nearly 50 supermarkets not to sell grapes, and has picketed several major stores still holding out. In the Youngstown area, a similar committee. is in the or·ganizational stage.

In a-n open letter published in the Catholic Northwest Progress, . archdiocesan newspaper, and read in churches, the archbishop said he could not let the column in the Hearst-owned paper pass unnoticed.

The archbishop's letter .said perhaps "some Catholics with little or no backbone or. courage * >I< * will go along with this type of attack and submit to such insulting, humiliating treatment," but that "the great majority of solid Catholic men and women of sound judgment and high moral principles will fight this type of attack and fight it to the bitter end," "I don't have to tell you what to do, what action to take," the archbishop's letter said. "The only weapons left to us are .economic reprisals against a newspaper that uses its columns to mount a conscienceless, lethal attack upon us. You will know what to do," ' The archbishop also filed a formal protest with William Randolph Hearst, Jr., of the newspaper chain which owns the Seattle secular paper.

Abortion-on-Demand The Hearst paper column, titled "EI Papa and Abortion," accused the Pope of II callous lack of concern for the world's poor. It spoke of the Vatican's alleged wealth-"some· say it is $7 billion'" * '" or is it $70 bilIion?"-and of the Pope's own jewels, his own police, his white' dresses and his castle."

Cardinal Cushing Visits Children HULL (NC)-Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston strummed on a guitar, rode on "swings with children, and thoroughly enjoyed himself during an" afternoon "at Boston's seashore mecca, Nantasket Beach.

The occasion was the cardinal's annual visit to Sunset Point Vacation House which he established many years ago for underprivileged children.

When he arrived, he appeared tired and pale, but his energies were quickly restored as he romped with the scores of children who escaped the heat of the city for a. week at the seashore.

Members of the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement; who operate the resort, looked on in amazement as the 74-year-old' cardinal went through his paces on the swings and slides. He stayed for three hours.

Cardinal Cushing noted that since the resort was opened in 1919, more than 25,000 children have had free vacations here.

The prelate got into the music act when he kidded Sister Joan Lauren about her guitar-playing and he took over the instrument himself.

New Liturgy Ca~ses Big Upset In British Catholic Publishing LONDON (NC)-The new simplified liturgy introduced by the Second Vatican Council, including the virtual elimination 'of the layman's missal and liturgical books in general, has caused another big upset in British Catholic publishing.

Burns and Oates, the firm which once published and sold most Catholic books in this country, announced that they have sold their three big book shops in Glasgow, Liverpool and Birmingham to the Daughters of St. Paul, a modern Italian con. gregation which came here 14 years ago.

The company has already sold its publishing business to Herder and Herder-international Catholic publishers who continue publishing in London under the name Burns and Oates-and now calls itself Burns Oates Retail Limited.

It has become purely a bookselling and majl-order firm and will in future concentrate its ac· tivities from its "headquarters in Victoria Street, London, across the street from West minster Cathedral.

Ecumenical Center Opened in Portugal

The traditional Catholic trade in this country"has also been hit by the slump in standard works of theology and piety, now almost universally replaced by more transient and experimen.tal works in the same field. These are short-lived for the most part and hardly a reliable stock in 'trade.

And the modest prosperity of Catholic book shops has finally been hit by the steady decline in the sale of devotional objects such as statues, medals and holy pictures., A spokesman for Burns and Oates Retail said: "It has become increasingly difficult to _ run Catholic book shops profitably since the virtual elimination for the bookseIJer of the missal and liturgical book trade which was one of its mainstals,'.'

In addition he is inevitably af· fected by increasing competition within a" reduced market from various institutions of the Church which are subject neither 'to the same level of costs nor necessarily to the requirement of profitability for continuance of their activities. ; .• '. ",0"

'Solemn Dutyl Orthodox Rabbinic Body Backs Mandatory Military Chaplaincy FALLSBURGH (NC)-The nation's largest Orthodox rabbinic body has iS$ued a "statement here affirming that newly or· dained rabbis must serve as military chaplains.

The executive board of the Rabbinical Council of America, at its annual meeting here in New York, approved the action, which has the effect of barring council membership to, rabbis who do not agree to participate in the chaplaincy program.

The statement, presented by Rabbi Zev Segal, president of the Rabbinical Council, rejected selective conscientious objection on the part. of rabbis who have recently completed theological training.

N. E. Churchmen Continued from Page One seeks to increase communication and cooperation.

The invitation to meet was extended to all Catholic, Ortho· dox and Protestant bishops and executives in the New England area, together with a principal associate to be selected by each.

To Accompany Bishop Bishop Connolly will be accompanied by Msgr. Henri A. Hamel, until recently chairman of the Fall River Ecumenical Commission. Also present from Fall River will be Very Rev. Reginald Theriault, O.P., Executive Secretary of the Massachusetts Commission on Christian Unity.

Both Msgr. Hamel and Father Theriault are members of, the Continuation Committee of the New 'England Ecumenical Study Conference· which is sponsoring and programming the two-day consultation in ~Iymouth. ..:

The rabbinical council's statement, which, was drafted by Rabbi Segal, said in part: "As long as the Armed Forces of this country consists . primarily of draftees and not volunteers; it is our solemn duty to support" the imposition of a similar draft upon spiritual leaders whose committed goals are to serve their flock under all conditions."

Council spokesmen explained that if the newly ordained Or· thodox rabbi did not serve in the military chaplaincy, barring physical or family' hardship, he would not be admitted to membership in the council.

This would mean a "loss of status. within the fellowship of the' Orthodox rabbinate," and woutd ,"deprive him of a chance to seek national leadership in the Orthodox religious community," the spokesmen said.

There are currently 51 Jewish chaplains in all branches of the' Armed Forces - 24 Reform, 4 Conservative and 23 Orthodox.

The entire chaplain corps totals more than 2,500 of all faiths.

BUARCOS (NC) - Dr. Eugene Carson Blake, general secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC), presided at ceremonies opening the new Ecumenical center here.

The center consists of one main building with library, lecture halls, and seminar rooms.

Future plans include 10 smaller buildings on the property.

Dr. Blake outlined the goal of the center as follows: "We believe that the world of the 20th century, tragically split by wars, hunger, and lack of 'understanding among peoples, needs places where individuals can meet for dialogue to grow in understanding and destroy the barriers which separate them," Representatives of Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist and Lutheran Churches of Spain and Portugal attended the opening.

Urg'e Formatoon Of New Dioceses In New York ALBANY (NC)-The form~tion of six new. diocese in upstate New York has been called for by the Committee on Episcopal Succession, which also suggested that the relocation of diocesan boundaries be left to the people in the areas involved.

The committee was originally formed by about 40 laymen and a couple of priests in an effort to determine the election of bishops.

The committee now sees "a clear need for smaller diocese in upstate New York." "It is hard to believe that the Church's diocesan boundaries still reflect the growth and shifts in population of 1886 when the diocese of Syracuse, the newest of the upstate sees, was established,". a committee press release said.

Two of the proposed dioceses, around Utica and Binghamton, would cut off portions of the Albany diocese. The other four proposed dioceses center around the Jamestown-Olean area, Plattsburgh, Poughkeepsie, and Watertown.

The proposals take into account estimated population growth and shifts to the year 2020, according to Father Francis G. McCloskey, a committee coordinator.

No Comment The committee, he said, is raising an issue that has lain below the surface in many areas.

"We are trying to bring it to the surfa:':l and hope people in each area will talk about it and organize to do something," Father McCloskey said.

"We would like to see the movement come from the ground up and we would help them 01'-¡ ganize and try to coordinate their efforts on a statewide basis," he explained. "We look on ourselves as overseeing the whole operation."

There were no immediate comments from clergy dissenting from the idea, nor from bishops in the New York dioceses.

President Puts Emphasis on Perseverance

Increase in Prayer "We have to get across to them this is something great and that it is important they continue," Noelke explained.

"In thes~ days there must be an increase in prayer and Serrans must grow in knowledge of what's going on in the Church.

They must really try to work at vocations and for priests to persevere. " Once priests leave the ministry, there isn't much that Serra can do, Noelke said. But if members know of anyone dissatisfied with his priestly life they have a duty to urge him to get advice and counsel.

He said, "Any individual Serran

Serra Has New Slant.....Keeping Priests In MILWAUKEE (NC)-A worldwide organization of laymen that for years has promoted vocations to the priesthood now finds it must also place emphasis on encouraging perseverance in the ministry.

That observation was made in an interview with the newlyelected president of Serra International, Paul Noelke, a Milwaukee attorney.

He heads a group of more than 12,000 professional and business men who belong to some 325 Serra clubs in 23 countries.

Their primary goals are to become better informed and motivated Catholic men, and to promote and encourage vocations to the priesthood.

Noting that there are no pat answers for improving the vocations picture, Noelke said help can be provided in all aspects of Church life-from priests, seminarians, schools, teachers, parents and Serrans.

He also is convinced that prayer is a powerful means of aiding vocations.

Although Serrans have conducted various programs to encourage young men to enter priestly life, he said there must be new emphasis on the perseverance of priests.

would be uncharitable if he would riot try to offer some help if he knew of someone planning to leave the priesth9od.

Change of Attitude "However, as an organization, it would be difficult to find a position on how to rehabilitate priests who leave. Besides, this may be getting out of our competence since we are not theologians or psychologists who know how to deal with those problems.

"It seems to me that Serrans should spark those fellows who

Chico.go Priests Leave Ministry CHICAGO (NC)-The Chicago archdiocesan chancery has confirmed that 11 of its priests left the active ministry within the last few months, but added that not all of them have left permanently.

The chancery pointed out that some of the 11 priests are on leaves of absence for various reasons. It did not, however, reveal how many of the 11 have left the active ministry for good.

A Chicago newspaper quoted an archdiocesan source as saying that these recent departures are significant because the men leaving "are not young Turks, the stereotype of the man leaving.

Four of them, in fact,. held extremely significant roles in the archdiocese." .

Another source, the newspaper said, stated that while "some places are untouched, as Iowa and New England, for instance, the number of departures is growing, in my impression.

"The latest spate leaving from Chicago shook up a lot of people, he added.

The Chicago Daily News said that among the 11 priests are a chancery official, a seminary dean, and two seminary teachers.

The chancery did not reveal any names.

Why has there been-as there has been-a rather dramatic rise, in recent years, in interest in the occult, the preternatural, in astrology ,and horoscopes and witchcraft?

This interest has risen not merely among those whom we like to think of as the uplettered, the poorly educated, but in college circles, among business and professional men, among those active in occupations calling for intelligence and knowledge.

Why has there been such a turning to things like narcotics arid drugs that turn people on?

Those who have studied the rise of these phenomena say that people are looking for something. , Never has technology been more competent -and brilliant.

Never have Americans enjoyed such a high standard of living.

Never' has science produced such wonders to guarantee the luxury and health and well-being of men.

And yet-people are looking, for something else..

They are looking for a new reality-not one that can be seen and heard and smelled and tasted. But another reality that will· lift them above the materialism and scientific progress that they already experience.

Just a few months ago, at a Mass celebrated in the National Shrine in Washington - two persons were seen leaving the church with consecrated Hosts, intending to use These in a secret Mass ritual. Religious goods stores report an upswing in the sale of iricense and even vestments to individuals using these in their own o~cult liturgies.

It would seem that men are still hungering for the unknown-for union with something or someone above and beyond themselves, yet able to be present to themselves.

Is it that they are looking for religion, for God?

We must not have another Knowles affair jf we really want to be democratic and sincerely put our house in order.

We ·should end swiftly the concept of political patronage that seems to bind and hinder the effectiveness of elected officials.

The responsibility of political integrity that binds the men and women who have been chosed by the people as their representatives must become the keynote of a new political idealism, We need a new concept of government based on honesty and sincerity of purpose with real concern for the basic needs

of all the nation's citizens.

This cannot be achieved any longer by' the old forms and policies' of the proverbial smokefilled 'rooms. It can be achieved by the fresh and vibrant support of men and women who seek principle above politics and integrity over payoffs.

To reach this goal, each of us should no longer sit back watching the same old government re-run, but, rather we should become involved and concerned wit,h the total processes of our government, its procedures and· practices.

We should begin to seek those means and methods which will help our govern.ment and its

Costs The actual costs reported by private academies for instruction in mathematics, science, physical education and modem languages -the four subject areas covered by the legislation - averaged $204.83 per pupil. Actual costs reported by Catholic schools throughout the state in the same subject areas averaged $22.87 per pupil. . Total aid to the 1,108 Catholic schools applying for it in Pennsylvania this year will amount to an estimated $3.79 million.

Some 97 per cent of all students enrolled in nonpublic schools in Pennsylvania attend Catholic schools, according to Vincent J. McCoola, state aid administrator, but these schools will receive only 77 per cent of the aid grants. Private academies-with 3 per cent of the students-will get 23 per cent of the funds.

Rep. Martin P. Mullen of Philadelphia, who led the battle for state aid to non public schools in the Pennsylvania legislature, attributed the disparity in actual costs reported by Catholic and other nonpublic schools to two factors: the "outstanding honesty" of the parochial schools in completing their applications for state aid and the low pay for priests, Sisters and Brothers on Catholic school faculties.

House Votes Aid . .

For Nonpublic School Pupils

Expelled Priests Center of Furor

COLUMBUS (UC)-Action by the Ohio House of Representatives in voting $45.7 million for aid to nonpublic school pupils was praised by Ohio Catholic Conference officials as a step forward and a continuing force in maintaining a choice of school systems in the state.

The House action is an addition of $21 million to funds already provided to non public school pupils in the previous biennium for auxiliary services.

In granting legislative recognition to non-public schools, Ohio's House gave bi-partisan support to the measure which provides $35.7 million extending the existing auxiliary services. and materials to include assistance in the payment of lay teachers' salaries. The measure also provides an extension in excess of $10 million for transportation of Ohio's non public school students.

Theodore N. Staudt, decutive director of the Catholic Conference of Ohio said "We appreciate the fact that so many of Ohio's lawmakers recognize the educational needs of all children."

He acknowledged that while the bill was 'an administration proposal it received bi-partisan support, and said "the financial crisis involves everyone interested in the educational future of Ohio's citizens of tomorrow."

Setting Pace" "Ohio is setting the pace for the nation in education," he said.

He commended the tremendous constituent response and cited it as one of the contributing factors to the success of the legislation.

The bill now goes to the Ohio Senate.

In commenting on the prospects in the Senate, David J. Young,. legislative representative for the Catholic Conference of Ohio, said: "We now have the assurance of continued existence of church-related schools in Ohio.

We have noted substantial sentiment in the Senate for assistance to our schools. This is the first bill which authorizes direct payment of state money to lay teachers."

"The form of this legislative assistance will assure our continued ability to teach subjects in a Christian atmosphere because it does not channel money directly to a religious organization," he added.

Conference officials were optimistic about the outcome of the bill in Ohio's Senate.

Cuba~ Refugees Miami Prelate Obtains Waiver of Visa

Archbishop Carroll Aids MIAMI-What price freedom?

For a 14-year-old Cuban youih who recently arrived in Miami it cost almost $1,000 in cash, 17 months of anxious waiting in his native Havana, another four months in Spain, and separation from his father and sisters left behind on the island.

America's Fourth of July was the first time that Jose X and other teenagers like him really knew and felt the spirit of independence, thanks to the interest and efforts of Miami's Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll which effected a waiver of visa for Cuban refugees arriving in the U. S. through Spain and sponsored by relatives already here.

It was almost two years l/.go that Jose's aunt and uncle, who came here on a Freedom Flight three years ago, inaugurated the procedure for "rescuing" the boy from communist indoctrination and compulsory military service at age 15.

At a cost of $563, which they borrowed from a bank, tney provided for his air travel from Cuba to Spain - which Cuban Premier Fidel Castro insists must be a round-trip ticket - from Spain to New York and thence to Miami.

each academic year in Cuba's fields in order to take year-end exams.

His assignment was to the garlic fields where his hours were from 6 A.M. to noon and from 2 P.M. to 7 P.M. He was working in the fields when tile government telegram came advising him he could assemble 32 pounds of clothing, two pairs of shoes, but no soap or jewelry for his trip to Spain.

His plane flight was delayed 24 hours at Havana airport due to the plane's mechanical trouble

and the next day he and other teenagers took off for the eighthour non-stop flight to Madrid.

There Jose and the group were met by Franciscan Brother Antonio Caminas, representing the Catholic immigration office, who drove them by bus to a small inn on the outskirts of the city which provides living quarters for the youths enroute to the U. S. Four months later, after room and board was provided by his relatives at $50 per month, Jose left for New Yprk and thence to Miami.

SANTO DOMINGO (NC)-Two priests, one a Cuban and the other a Spaniard, expelled from the Dominican Republic in June, are waiting in Puerto Rico while pressure is being exerted on the government to reverse its order and permit their return.

The priests, Cuban Father Sergio Figueredo, S.J., and Spanish Father Gratinisno Varona, O.P., were expelled on charges that they had intervened in the internal politics of the country.

Charges were mqde in some quarters that the priests had stirred up conflict in order to create disorders during the visit of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, head of President Richard M. Nixon's special fact-finding mission to Latin America.

'Government Error' Father Figueredo was moderator of the University Youth Center, a professor at the state university and producer of a youth-oriented television program.

He was among the Santo Domingo priests and Religious who signed a recent statement defending the right of priests to preach moral and social principles of reform, to seek means of 'more efficient pastoral work among the poor and to be spared the accusation of communism.

Controversy over 'the expulsion of the two priests continued as presidential candidate Dr. Hector Gracia Godoy urged the readmission of the priests, charging that the expulsion "has been all' error of the government, especially in the manner it was done."

New Hairsetting Techniques Give Wearer Ca,sua~ Lo,ok

THE ANCHORThurs., July 17, 1969

I-Iyannis Bazoor On Saturday

By Marilyn Roderick The new soft look in fashions calls for a sleeked-down, no-teased look in a hairdo. Gone are the vats of hairspray and with it the heavy teasing that caused everyone's hair, mine included, to look and feel like the nearest haystack.

It falls softly, has shining highlights and a I 0 0 s e freedom that goes with the times "Upto - the â&#x20AC;˘ minute" . hairdressers are up on this no-tease look and they are trying to win their customers over to their way of thinking.

Oddly enough, this more casual hairdo requires a better hairdresser than did the teased and bouffant styles; and one who is willing to try somethi!:'g new.

Trend-Setting Cities My hairdresser, Fred Rebello, is always alert to how women are wearing their hair in the trend-setting cities such as Paris, New York, and Boston. Recently, when a customer returned fr.om an out-of-town trip with sketches and news of a supercasual haircut and hairdo that she had received in the big city, Fred immediately adapted it for his own salon and now his customers can have the look that the beautiful people call their own.

A few days later, when I went in for my appointment he was eager to tell me about this new way of setting hair and to ask if I would like to try it for this week. Always ready for a new look, I quickly consented to try anything that would get my hair off my neck and out of my face, especially on beach days.

Dominican Sisters Hold General Chapter CALDWELL (NC) - Measures providing for flexibility in the length of the training period and the duration of temporary vows were enacted by the Dominican Sisters of Caldwell during a general chapter at the motherhouse here in New Jersey.

The chapter has concluded most of its work but has adjourned temporarily to await word from the Holy See on the election of Sister M. Vivien Jennings as superior. The Congregation of Religious must approve her election because at 35 she â&#x20AC;˘ is five years under the required age for superiors.

Once approval is given, the chapter will reconvene to promulgate the acts of the chapter and elect other officials.

The chapter has given Sisters the option of returning to their baptismal names, continued experimentation with the religious habit whle voting not to permit secular dress, and expanded an experiment which finds those houses desiring to do so electing their own superiors.

SCENE OF PA~AL MASS: When Pope Paul celebrates Mass at Namugongo, Uganda, on Saturday, Aug, 2, the altar will have been erected on this small island in a lake. As several hundred thousand pilgrims are expected to attend the Mass, crowd control is provided by using the natural amphitheater around the site, with terraces rising from the lake. The island will be reached by bridge, and will be surmounted by a grass-roofed pavilion.

Cardinal Replies To Ed ucators

THE ANCHORThurs., July' 17, ,1969

British Catholics Pledge Loya Ity To Pope Paul

SOUTH BEND (NC) - John Cardinal Dearden of Detroit, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, told a group of American educators he is "inclined to suspend judgment" in the case of Bishop James P. Shannon until he knows more of the circumstances involved.

Some 500 educators, Catholic and non-Catholic, subscribed to a letter sent to the cardinal, urging support for Bishop Shannon after he submitted his resignation as auxiliary bishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis because he could not subscribe to views expressed by Pope Paul VI in the encyclical on birth control, Humanae Vitae.

The letter was drafted by seven persons at the University of Notre Dame and forwarded to the cardinal. The cardinal's reply ,was not made public until the cardinal's permission was obtained.

The cardinal's letter was written before Bishop Shannon accepted the post of vice president at St. John's College, an interdenominational institution at Santa Fe, N. M. The cardinal's letter stated, in part, "I must confess that I have no more information about the matter than has been contained railway station accomodates both rail- in the press reports. And, as you will admit, these,have often been less than clear. As a consequence, I have been inclined to suspend judgment in the matter until I know all the circumstances."

GLASGOW (NC) A group of prominent English and Scottish lay Catholics has issued a declaration 'of

loyalty to Pope Paul VI and promised that a future loyalty statement will be signed by many thousands of other Catholics.

The declaration, initiated by a Scottish retired Army Col. Alistair J. Cranstoun, particularly praised the Pope for his encyclical on birth control. Humanae Vitae. The loyalty statement said that in the encyclical Pope Paul had, '!courageously reaffirmed the infallible teaching of the Church on marriage and the family."

The signers of the declaration, described as "representative," included Catholics from a wide -, range of fields and professions in England and Scotland-members of Parliament, educators, writers and professional men and women.

Col. Cranstoun said the declaration is a way of giving the "ordinary" Catholic a means of expressing his feelings on the MASS FO~ TRAVELERS: Chapel in Rome's ce ntral issues raised by the publication of Humanae Vitae and other' roaders and travelers.

in remote areas, where they build and repair track lines or tend stations. They and members of -their families ,often live in housing owned by the railway.

To care for their spiritual needs, the Opera Nazionale Assistenza Religiosa (The National Organization for Religious Assistance to Workers) has 16 branches for the railway workers. Each branch is staffed by at least one chaplain and several social workers.

Labor Trouble Don Brazzini said that "Assistenza" was found on the belief that the workman should be considered a human being, and not merely a cog in a great industrial complex.

When there is labor. trouble in the yards, disputes in the offices, or domestic problems at home, the chaplain can sometimes step in and act as a gobetween to help solve the problems, 'Don Brazzini explained.

That takes care of the social aspects.

- And when the workers cannot go to the sacraments, the sacra- • ments go to the workers. Thus the chaplain serves the workers' religious needs through a church-on-wheels. By means of an auto caravan, the chaplain can take care. of the religious needs of those workers who may have to spend weeks high in the Abruzzi mountains, repairing a line of tracks.

GRAND ISLAND (NC) -

Bishop John L. Paschang issued a policy statement here in Nebraska pledging that the Grand Island diocese will "insure a Christian education for all children regardless of race, color, creed or financial condition."

"The Catholic schools of this diocese will accept any student desiring such Christian education and these same schools will be available for any program that will alleviate the suffering of peoples within the confines of this diocese," the statement said.

The "statement on discrimination" was issued by Bishop Paschang through the diocesan department of education. Father Paul Button, diocesan superin路. tendent called it a "statement of, policy necessary for our times."

"For too long there has been a leadership lag in alleviating the educational causes of poverty, and the causes of all discrimination, both racial and religious," Father Button stated.

"We hope that the implementation of this statement will be one way the Catholic schools will aid in forming the leaders of tomorrow who will act and react to all forms of discrimination in a manner befitting an educated Christian."

Combat Racism Bishop Paschang's statement also: Pledged commitment to "experimentation," including cooperative efforts with the public school system to combat racism and poverty.

E;ndorsed tbe. concept of decen,. tralization (wide decision-making power on the part of the local community) in school systems as "the most effective means of improving both public and nonpublic, education."

Called for an all out effort to involve parents in the educational process.

Decreed that enrollment in Catholic schools in the diocese "should reflect the ethnic and racial and economic composition of their locality, and where space is available, provision should be ' made for accepting students from other areas that lack adequate facilities."

ChristIan EducatIon "It shall be the policy of the

Catholic diocese of Grand Island to insure a Christian education for all children regardless of race, color, creed or financial condition," the statement said.

"The Catholic schools of this diocese will accept any student desiring such a Christian education, and these same schools will be available for any program that will alleviate the sufferings of people within the confines of this diocese."

Commenting on the policy statement, Father Button noted that "many accuse the Catholic school system of being in exis,tence only for the' rich and the talented."

"We don't want this to be true of our schools," he stated.

"According to the news releases, the Department of Justice has made the statement that the Waterbury public school board arranged with the Roman Catholic school system to have white children who live in or around ghetto neighborhoods attend the practically all white parochial school system at the expense of non-white students and parents," Msgr. Connelly said. "This statement is untrue."

"Under section 10-281 of the general statutes (of the State of Connecticut) "transportation for pupils in nonprofit private schools must be provided by the town or city if a public referendum so directs," Msgr. Connelly noted.

"A referendum in the city of Waterbury, like those in many other municipalities in Connecticut, determined that such transportation must be provided.

Waterbury has complied with the legislative mandate of transportation for children to Catholic schools in that city.

"There is no collusion, no arrangement or discrimination," Msgr. Connelly said.

COLUMBUS (NC) - The Columbus diocese is considering es路 tablishing a capital loan fund, Bishop Clarence E. Elwell announced.

The proposal from the diocesan finance committee is supportl~d by the bishop "in principle" and has the "firm support" of the diocesan consultors. Pastors are now studying the plan. , "The steady rise in interest rates, capped by the recent increase to 8.5 per cent places an intolerable burden upon our parishes and institutions." the bishop said. "Our diocesan community must band together and solve the problem. No single parish or institution can do it alone."

The finance committee's' proposal would place all the diocesan and parish debts in the fund and charge 5 per cent interest.

At the same time, most of the diocese's money would be placed in the fund with an annual return of three per cent. Parishes and institutions would be encouraged to do the same.

"A small sacrifice in interest income by those who have invested funds will go a long way toward easing the crisis for debtburdened parishes," the finance committee's report said.

Money on deposit in the fund would be payable on demand. It would first be used to retire present bank debts.

Names Coordinator For Education SIOUX FALLS (NC) - Father Leonard F. Stanton has been appointed by Bishop Lambert A. Hoch of Sioux Falls to the newly created post of Diocesan Coordinator of Religious Education.

Father Stanton will have responsibility for the over-all direction of religious education efforts at all levels in the South Dakota diocese, including those for children in both Catholic and public schools, pre-school and adult education.

Francis .Scholtz, formerly coordinator of schools, was named to the post of Coordinator of Education for the diocese.

The changes in structure resulted from a study of the diocese's total education program.

:Church ~n Spain ·Supports..

Trade Union Autonomy

By Msgr. George G. Higgins Director, Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

A recent issue of Boletin HOAC, official publication of the the workers' section of Catholic Action in Spain (Herm~mdad Obrera de Accion Catolica, or HOAC for short) features a cartoon showing Generalissimo Franco, Chief of State in Spain, kneeling in prayer at a prie dieu, pre- rest in Spain and of at least some of the friction between sumably in his private chap- Church and State'. el in the Prado. The caption The nub of the problem is that,

---~;;,

over the cartoon has him saying, aparently with great anguish: "And deliver us, . 0 Lord, from another Council.

Amen." Obviously this car· toon was meant to suggest that the second Vatican Council, with its emphasis, on the overriding value of political liberty,' freedom of association, trade union autonomy, and freedom o'f 'information, has unleashed a number of forces which !ire stirring things up in Spain and are causing serious embarrassment to Franco and his government. . .. . While I have been to Spain several times during the past four or five years-most recently' in June of this year-'-X don't pretend to have more than a superficial knowledge of what's going on over there in 'the field of Church-State relations. In other words, I am not in a position to say, on ,the basis of personal experience, whether or not HOAC's cartoon was entirely fair to Franco. .

On the other hand, it's a matter of public record that church groups in Spain, sin<~e the end of the council-and presumably, to some extent at least-because of the council-have become increasingly outspoken in their criticism of a number of the government's policies and increasingly militant in their de· fense of freedom, speclffcally, for example, in the field of trade unionism and collective bargaining.

The government is obviously upset about this d1welopment and gives the impression at times of not knowing how to cope with it except by resorting to use of the big stick.

Source of Unrest Again I am making this assertion not on my own authority, but on the basis of information which is a maher' of public record and has been widely reported in this country in ,the secular as 'well as the Catholic press.

The record will show, for example, that several priests~ne of whom I had the :pleasure of meeting in Spain, last month,have ,recently. been sentenced to jail in secret. military.trials and on very flimsy charges.· While there is no verifiable evidence that these particular priests were sent to prison prec~sely ~ecause of their progressive views on the subject of trade union fr'eedom and autonomy, it is again a matter of pub~ lic record that the labor problem is the source of the current un-

Consecration' Set DUBUQUE (NC) -- Bishopelect Francis J. Dunne will be consecrated auxiliary bishop of Du~uque Aug. 27 in' St. Raphael s cathedral here in Iowa.

for all practical purposes, the Spanish syndicates or unions are controlled by the government.

Over the course of the years this situation has become so intolerable and has resulted in so much political and economic unrest that the government has finally decided that the time has come to revise the existing trade union statutes and to come up with a new law.

Strong Statement The bishops of Spain, taking note of this development, recently issued a Pastoral Letter ; entitled ,"Christian Principles Relative' to Trade Unionism.".

The thrust of this pastoral was that' the new trade· union law must guar~ntee freedom of association for Spanish. workers and must accord the fullest possible measure of autonomy to the unions which they freely choose to represent them. ' The workers' section of Catholic Action (HOAC) and a num\ber of other Catholic organizations, including groups of employers, are vigorously campaigning for this objective, and, to some extent at least, have' managed to get their story across to the public in spite of governmental restrictions on the freedom of the press. While I was in Spain last month, to cite but o.ne example, the regional council of associations of Catholic employers in Cataluna issued a strong public statement calling for radical changes in the present trade union law and declar-, ing unequivocally that ';trade union freedom is absolutely necessary." .

Advocates Changes A few weeks before that statement was made public in Spain the International Labor Organi· zation, which Pope Paul honored with a personal visit last month on tbe occasion of its 50th anniversary, released the interim report of ,all' ILO study group which will be supplemented around the end of July by a much more detailed document. It : does so. indirectly, however, by advocatmg, along the lines. of the. Spanish bishops' pastoral, a series of far-reaching changes in the present trade union law. ' All of these changes are aimed , at guaranteeing freedom of associationfor Spanish workers and the political independence. and autonomy of the trade union movement in Spain.

The fact that members of the ILO study group found it neces· sary to call for these changes would seem to. indicate that in their judgment, the present l~bor set-up in Spain, doesn't meet the ILO's minimum standards on the subject of trade union freedom and autonomy, standards which are written into the ILO constitution and are binding on all members of the organization.

'JERSEY CITY (NC)-Another teacher involved in recent student and faculty controversies at St. Peter's College here has decided to leave the campus.

Ruth Whitney, a former Peace Corps volunteer now teaching in the theology department, asked officials of the Jesuit college to waive six-month notification requirements so she could resign before the start of the school year.

Miss Whitney, who was among those arrested for occupying administration offices during the Spring student strike at St. Peter's, said she is resigning so her presence on the campus doesn't become a matter of controversy.

She had been notified that her contract would not, be renewed after the 1969-70 school year. It was just such a notification given to another member of the faculty, Thomas Haessler, that helped set off a six-month dispute that plagued the college from January through June.

Miss Whitney was a strong supporter of Haessler, whose reinstatement was' among the demands made on the college by the Student Senate. In a compromise agreement, Haessler has been given a terminal one-year contract for 1969-70.

Diocese Has New School Policy

VATICAN CITY (NC)-French theologian Jean Cardinal Danielou warns that persons trying to diminish the authority of the pope in favor of the collegial authority of the bishops run the risk of seriously damaging both.

In L'Osservatore Romano Vatican City daily-of' July 11, ,Cardinal Danielou observed: "Some persons imprudently and in absolute contradiction to the acts of' th'e (Second Vatican) Council are placing in opposition episcopal collegiality and the personal infallibility of the bishop of Rome."

The cardinal cited reactions to Pope Paul VI's. encyclical on birth control, Humanae' Vitae, and his Credo of the People of God of last year. One now runs the risk of seeing Christians divide themselves into two groups: those who would derive the authority of the bishops from the pontiff and those who would derive the authority of the pontiff from the bishops.

"But what is being risked even more gravely by these oppositions is not so much the authority of the pope but that of the bishops. In any case it is the authority of the Church, th;;lt authority to which the Cnristian people spontaneously and rightly give total trust, whose weakening is being risked."

Cardinal Danielou affirmed: "Nothing is now more important than to bar the road to those who attempt to' stir up this opposition between the papacy and the episcopate."

Mission Doctors Elect President LOS ANGELES (NC) - Dr. James Carey, who served three years at the Catholic mission hospital in Driefontein, Rhodesia, has been elected president of the Los Angeles Mission Doctors Association.

Dr. Carey, while in Rhodesia, conceived and carried out groundwork for establishing a flying doctor service conducted from Driefontein. He established a net of 10 landing strips in an area equivalent to the area between Los Angeles and S'an Francisco.

Dr. Carey said this year the a~s.ociation would send four physIcIans overseas to the missions.

Refugee Relief Agencies See Funds Crisis \

WASHINGTON (NC) Representatives of .14 agencies concerned with refugee relief in the Middle East predict grave consequences in human suffering and political disturbances if the impending deficit in United Nations Relief and Work Agencies for Palestine (UNRWA) funds is not overcome by increased governmental and private contributions.

At a meeting with U. S. Undersecretary of State Elliot Richardson· following a two·,day emergency session here, they urged the United States government to exert world leadership by increasing its own allocation to.

UNRWA. The spokesman for the group was Dr. John H. Davis, a former commissioner general of UNRWA, who is now president of American Near East Refugee Aid, .Inc., a coordinating and fund-raising organization active in relief work for Arab refugees.

The group presented to Richardson a four-page statement by the com1J1issioner general· of UNRWA, Dr. Laurence Michelmore reporting that without increased contributions, UNRWA's budget this year would fall $3.5 million short of its $43 million requirements.

Hold Relig'ious Communications, Seminar Stress Skill· in Disseminating Information

BUFFALO (NC) - . Bishop James A. McNulty, who suspended the Buffalo diocesan Priests' Senate last May, announced that the organization will be revived -with new membership.

The bishop said the decision to continue the senate was the "majority opinion" expressed at a meeting of the diocesan board of consultors. He also said he received 217 letters in favor of continuation of the senate and added: "I am grateful to my brother priests . . . who have shared their thoughts with me."

Bishop McNulty said a new senate will be elected in accordance with the constitution and that Father Francis S. McCormiCk, who was senate president, would arrange for the elections.

In suspending the original senate last Spring, Bishop McNulty charged, among other things, that it was dominated by one clique of priests in the diocese. He also said he wanted "more time to acquire new perspectives regarding the work of the senate" and time "to consider a backlog of resolutions and recommendations" submitted to it.

"The mind of the Church is crystal clear with reference to a· senate of priests as a consultative group, who by their advice, would assist the bishop in the government of the diocese," Bishop McNulty said in a letter to priests announcing the senate's revival.

Missouri Prelate Explains 'Reasons For Resignation

Protest Handling of Cleric Cases PITTSBURGH (NC)-A group of 185 Catholics here, including seven priests and 69 nuns, has protested against the manner in which Archbishop Luigi Rimondi Apostolic Delegate in the United States, has acted in certain cases involving American clergymen. . The group sought an audience with Archbishop Raimondi when he came here for the installation of Bishop Vincent M. Leonard of Pittsburgh, but were unable to meet with the archbishop.

The group later held a press conference at which it was ex-

JEFFERSoN CITY (NC)Bishop Joseph M. Marling, C.PP.S., resigned as bishop of Jefferson City convinced he was not "equal in physical, mental and nervous energy" to the demands of the diocese, and convinced it would be for the "real gain" of all concerned.

In a candid letter to priests of the diocese, the 65-year-old bishop said' he wished to elaborate on the reasons for his resignation, which was attributed simply to reasons of health in the official announcement earlier from the Apostolic Delegation.

He also revealed that he first asked to "surrender the reins" more than two years ago but had been persuaded to stay on.

"I pleaded again, and more earnestly, on Feb. 21, 1969-the day of my 40th anniversary of ordination," Bishop Marling wrote the priests. "I stated simply that I did not feel equal * 0) " to the demands of this truly missionary diocese. As only one significant fact, I noted that I had driven my car nearly 50 thousand miles in the past year.

"I pointed out that I had been in a position of authority and weighty responsibility not just these 12 years in Jefferson City, but for 31 years-as provincial superior (of the Precious Blood Fathers), auxiliary bishop, and then Ordinary (bishop). I argued that under these circumstances fresh ideas, the hallmark of true leadership in these critical days, can become progressively fewer."

Notes Problems "My position," wrote Bishop Marling, "was summed up in a single query, which I here repeat: What does one do if he is convinced, at 65, that it would be to the real gain of those who compose the diocese if he were to abdicate in favor of one younger and more vigorous?

Does he just go on? Or does he ask to be replaced, painful though the move may be?"

Bishop Marling told the priests he had been haunted by the fear that he might be "merely quitting, running from mounting difficulties." He noted that problems are on the rise here as elsewhere in the Church including the departure of priests from the ministry and the closing of Catholic schools.

"If obstacles frighten me, however, they would probably have exacted their toll when we were struggling together to lay the foundation for our new diocese," the bishop wrote. "To say that we began in 1956 with nothing is no exaggeration. The diocese still has many needs, but >I< 0) " is free of debt. And we have eI:ected 25 new churches, 29 new school buildings, 30 new rectories and 16 new convents."

plained their complaints had been mailed to Archbishop Raimondi-.

The protest centers around what the group's views as the archbishop's role in the reputed attempt to "exile" Bishop James P. Shannon after he disclosed he had submitted his resignation as auxiliary bishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis because of differences with Pope Paul VI's encyclical on birth control; the handling of the Msgr. Ivan IIIich case, and the handling of the case of the dissenting priests of the Washington archdiocese.

What Would Christ Do? Many times in life we must ask ourselves: What would Christ do? How would He react in this or that situation?

The missionary also asks this question many times over!

Faced with discouragement or difficulties, he, too, attempts to learn what Christ would do. He, too, wants to imitate Christ as well as he can.

One foreign missionary asks this question in a letter to our office: "It is now four and a half months since I arrived in Japan, in a new city of 150,000 citizens. What does one do to spread the Faith among so many people, for whom Christ is just a vague name in their history books? WHAT WOULD CHRIST DO? "No doubt He could gather great crowds aroun(l Him as He gave thrilling sermons. His very presence on the streets, in the busses, in the trains, His sanctity and charity, would inspire many to follow Him, which I cannot. His night long vigUs with His Father would reap thousands of converts.

"I cannot really do what Christ would do. All I can do is TRY to imitate Him, and in His chapel, morning and night, plead with Him to rain down His special love on Japan, to bring more and more to know Him." But as the letter continues, it is clear that this missionary is certainly following the example of Christ. Armed solely with his gospel and the love of Christ in his heart, he is proceeding on a missionary task for mankind.

"The Wind of the Holy Spirit is gently breathing over us,". he writes. "Our little flock of 15 Christians has increased to 30.

On Holy Saturday I had the privilege of baptising our first Christians, a mother and her two little girls. It was one of the most joyful baptisms I have ever performed. One new Christian, Mary Magdalene, was so happy that tears of joy were streaming down her face."

This missionary has certainly taken up the challenge of a life in imitation of Christ. Can we do any less?

Can we read of poverty and suffering, of illiteracy and disease, and remain unconcerned? Can we, as followers of Christ, know that there are two billion people who have not even heard His name, and remain indifferent to the missionary call of the Church?

Of course not! Let us, then, look to the example of Christ in His compassion and concern for mankind. Let us pray and sacrifice for the missions. Let us do what Christ路 would do!

Don't forget: THE MISSIONS NEED YOUR HELP IN THE SUMMER TOO! _"" __ ,_""

Father Wassel lumps them all under the all-inclusive term "my waterfront guys." He has organized -the Rudder Club for waterfront Catholics, which he calls his "right arm." He has also won the respect of many men of other faiths who are proud to share in his work.

Franciscan P,lan

For Rell1ewal LOUDONVILLE (NC)-Seventy-six representatives of the Franciscan Holy Name province concluded a 16-day chapter meeting at Siena College here in New' York State after putting finishing touches to a master plan for renewal and progress in the second largest jurisdiction of the order in the world.

The plan is designed, it was explained, to create a, 20th century vision of Franciscanism, combining the best elements of the Franciscan past with the most promising features of the Franciscan present, in order to fashion a Franciscan future in which the' fraternity of the order will be a more effective witness and servant to the constantly emerging needs of the people of God. Proposals approved by the chapter call for: spiritual renewal stemming from personal and communal prayer centered on the liturgy and Scripture; strengthening cOPlmunity life with a heightened sense of fraternity and mutual understanding; continuing education and formation, from the start and throughout a friar's life, for the purpose of eliminating polarization and increasing effectiveness in apostolic work; clear witness to poverty in every possible way, including added service to the poor; efforts to 'improve performance in customary ministries while reaching out to new forms of community service in ecumenism, race relations, the inner . city, and other areas.

Father Wassel began working as port -chaplain before he was officially given the duty. As assistant pastor at a nearby parish, he offered Mass each Sunday in St. Peter's Chapel, overlooking the Delaware River on bustling Pier 98, and cared for the spiritual needs of iile men who worked the sprawling South Wharves area.

He still offers Mass on Sundays and holydays at Pier 98. In addition, he hears confessions "anywh~re there's room," conducts Stations of the Cross during Lent, answers emergency calls, and roams the waterfront, holding innumerable little private chats with men whose problems range over the whole spectrum of human frailty-domestic troubles, labor inequities, financial difficulties, moral woes, aching loneliness, spiritual crises, long neglect of church and sacraments.

In his office at St. Philip Neri ,rectory, Father Wassel has numerous plaques and assorted souvenirs of his. years as port chaplain, including' a plaque which describes him as "Philadelphia Waterfront's Man of the Year."

Publishes .,Dl unar Prayer' BOSTON (NC)-Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston has published a "Lunar Prayer" asking God's blessing upon Americ;l's moonlanding this month.

The petition asks that God "guide and guard" America's spacemen. It also declares: .

"As we view the earth from the surface of the moon through the· marvel of scientific technology, give us the enlightment to see the magnitude of our task.

Stir 'up within us the determination to uproot the pettiness, the smallness of mind, the narrowness of attitude, which if unchecked will bring about the destruction of spaceship earth."

Illinois Parochial Schools Continue CHICAGO (NC)-IIIinois parochial schools cannot relax their efforts "to maintain and to raise the high standards traditional in Catholic education,". despite the state's failure to pass legislation aiding nonpublic schools.

That was the conclusion of the bishops' committee of the Illinois Catholic Conference in a letter to the state's clergy.

"With about 440,000 pupils pre-registered for Catholic schools next September and with thousands of teachers under contract, we have a serious problem," the six bishops wrote.

"With state aid cut out of 1969-70 school budgets," they continued, "we will have to call upon our people for larger contributions but we fear they will have little more to contribute after they have paid their taxes and higher prices resulting from ,new taxes on corporati.ons."

"In each of our dioceses we will have to take stock of our resources and do our best," they asserted.

Francis Thompson Letters Reveal Genius, Wit, Humor

Approve Housing Project Loan

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

ALTOONA (NC) - Improved Dwellings for Altoona, Inc., has received permission from the Federal Housing Authority to construct 85 units of garden type apartments here in Pennsylvania.

Construction on the housing complex, known as Ever Green Manor, will begin July 23, and is scheduled for completion in 1970.

According to Father John J. Lafferty, president of IDA, the $1,314,000 project involves four . acres for low and middle income housing. Of the 85 units, 20 per cent will be for low income families ($3000 to $5,200) who will receive rent supplement based on family income. This section will insure an economic integration, regardless of race, color or creed.

The balance of the apartments are being constructed for use by middle income families. The rent structure, whic.h was set up by the federal government, will eventually dissipate the FHA loan over a period of 40 years, thus rendering IDA owner of the project at that time.

IDA includes the diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, the Lutheran Community, the Methodist Community, the United Church of Christ, the Jewish Community and the Negro Community. The group was organized in 1968 to provide housing for ,low income families who were being displaced by urban renewal.

Francis Thompson was 26 years old, a penniless vagrant on the streets of London and already taking drugs, when, in 1887, he submitted an essay and some poems to Merry England, a magazine edited by Wilfred and Alice Meynell. He did not meet the Meynells until the following says precisely what he intended.

He is not, he proudly affirms, year, and, in the interval, he a syllable-counter. His poetry, he had attempted suicide. For says, displays "me, in every re-

the next two decades, until his death in 1907, the Meynells helped him get his poetry and prose published and looked after him as well as they could, or as well as he would let them.

His letters to them from 1887 to 1907, make up the bulk, of The Letters of Francis Thompson, edited with notes by John Evangelist Walsh (Hawthorn, 70 5th Ave., New York, N. Y. 10011 $10).

Other letters included are to' Coventry Patmore, the Meynell's daughter Monica, puolishers and editors, and some literary people.

Genius Through Gloom This correspondence shows that Thompson was almost always ill, that he seldom had any funds at all, that he relapsed into drug-taking from time to time, that he was constantly harassed by insecurity and worry. Yet genius glints through the gloom, as well as wit and humor.

He is seen to be preoccupied with' his writing:Cenerally, 'even while bedridden, he has some work in hand, even though it be no more than book reviews, and his unhappiness is most punishing when, periodically, he finds himself unable to write.

He is delighted by praise, especially that from authorities like Mrs. Meynell, Patmore or Robert Browning. He is aware of his own capacity, and in 1893, says, "I absolutely think my poetry is 'greater' than any work by a new poet which has appeared since Rosetti."

Riot of Imagery Critics draw scorn from him, as when he says, "Your modern art-critic, like your modern literary critic, thinks that art and his moustache budded together."

Yet when people whom he considers competent make adverse comment on his work, he is ready to agree with what he perceives to be points well taken.

In fact, he writes to Patmore, "I think you know that I esteem it more honour to be condemned by an austere than approved by a lax judgment."

He acknowledges but defends what may seem faults in his poetry: 'for example, the riot of imagery. He will fiercely resist attempts to improve a line by' a word-change, when he is convinced that a particular word

Aid Program Helps Innell'-City Parishes PHILADELPHIA (NC) A total of $590,826.70 has been contributed by 145 parishes in the archdiocese of Philadelphia in the past two years to aid needy inner-city parishes.

Msgr. Henry A. McCracken, chairman of the Commission for Interparochial' Cooperation, said grants to date have totaled $540,186.00 to 23 needy parishes..

spect, at my morally weakest ,~ -' ,~ Verse written as I write it is often nothing less than a confessional, a confessional far more intimate than the sacerdotal one."

Shakespeare at Seven It is curious and amusing to observe that there were Catholics, at the time when Thompson's poetry was being first published, who considered it pagan, erotic, and scandalous. A certain Canon Toole said vehemently that the Ode to the Setting SUI} "was not a thing which ought to have appeared in a Catholic magazine!"

Thompson could grow indignant about what he called "Catholic Philistinism" and "the blubber-brained Catholic public." Has time taken care of these?

The letters go beyond the time-span represented by their dates. Thus, in one of them Thompson recalls a scene from his childhood. At the age of seven, "standing in my nightgown before the fire and chattering to my mother," he used a word which she said was obsolete and found in Shakespeare.

His mother told him, "You have read Shakespeare so much that you are beginning to talk Shakespeare without knowing it." At seven!

Sweetness of Spirit Certainly he was steeped in English literature, as countless allusions and insights in the letters indicate. Almost entirely concentrating- on literature, he still could make penetrating comments on other subjects, such as politics and theology. His was an exceptional intelligence, intuitive and analytical both.

His suffering runs all through this correspondence, and his life can be read as tragic. Yet there was a wonderful, unspoilable sweetness of spirit in his despite his depression and his addiction to drugs. .

Mr. Walsh has edited the letters adroitly. His explanatory notes succinctly supply' necessary identifications, and explanations without any pedantry.

Deer Cry Pavilion The modernization of Japan, in the wake of Commodore Perry's historic visit in 1853-54, is the subject of The Deer Cry Pavilion

by Pat Barr (Harcourt, Brace and World, 757 Third Avenue, New York, N. Y. 10017 $5.95). The title refers to a social center opened in Tokyo in 1883 to signalize the intermingling of eastern and western ways in the new Japan.

Mrs. Barr's book is at its best in its abundance and arrangement of detail illustrative of what Japan had been socially, how its transformation was wrought, and what its social condition was by the beginning of this century.

She has come lip with a cornucopia of colorful information in this. regard. But she does not really succeed in picturing to us the steps by which Japan became industrialized and capable of producing the tremendous equipment required for war with Russia.

For Industrial Peace Labor Relations Board Chairman Asks Diocesan-Wide Pacts for Schools NEW YORK (NC)-The chairman of the New York State Labor Relations Board asked here that Catholic school officials and employees negotiate their contracts on a diocesewide, as opposed to a school by school, basis.

The archdiocese the largest of the ten dioceses of Uruguay, includes more than 1.5 million people, of whom more than a million are Catr?lics.

other educational, charitable or religious institutions.

Kramer said that deciding on bargaining units, which was the announced purpose of the hearing, would "primarily influence industrial peace."

He said he considered it inadvisable for bargaining units to be set up on a school by school basis. Kramer said he was afraid that this might produce "atomization and fragmentation" among Catholic schools and result in strikes.

Last April 1, through an amendment to the New York State Labor Relations act,·. employees of charitable, religious and educational institutions, including Catholic schools, came under the protection of the law on collective bargaining.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS: St. Anne's parish, Fall River, is marking its hundredth year of service to the French community. Left, Rev. Raymond Drouin, O.P.,' pastor, with Dr. Adelard O.

Priest Now Back Among Addicts

'.

PATERSON (NC) When Charles F, Grieco waH a detective'in nearby Paramw; 10 years ago, and before that as a criminal investigation agent for the Army, his work frequently involved hm with alcoholics and narcotics addicts.

Now he's Father Charles F. Grieco, ordained a year ago.

And he has a new assigriment in which he again will be dealing with the same kind of people -but this time as a specialist in rehabilitation work instead of criminal investigations.

Father Grieco, 40, gave up his law enforcement career in 1960 and began studies for the priesthood. He was ordained here in May, 1968. An assistant pastor in Morristown since then, he lost little time in Jeturning to his interest in working in criminology and related fields.

Warning He became chaplain at the Morris County Jail ane! was appointed to the Morris County Drug Abuse Committee, devoting most of his spare time to counseling and lecturing on addiction.

As a man who has seen the tragedy of addiction first-hand, both as policeman and priest, he deplores the rapid growth of drug usage in the suburbs("There~s an awful lot of marijuana smoking and pill-popping' going on")-but warned against overaction in another direction.

"Some parents are so afraid of marijuana that they no longer frown on drinking among teenagers," he said. "They forget that can cause just as much havoc."

and St. Anne's Shrine attract other thousands of pilgrims from all parts of Ne"'l. England throughout the year. Right, Rev. Raymond L. Corriveau, O.P. shrine administrator, presents relic of St. Anne for veneration by faithful. In center 2f picture can be seen crutches and canes, among hundreds left at shrine by those grateful for intercession of saint.

Delegate ,at St. Anne's Centenary' Continue4 from Page One Until Father Montaubricq's arrival these im'migrants had Worshipped at what is now St. Mary's Cathedral. Their new pastor, too, enjoyed the hospitality of St. Mary's rectory while he supervised construction of Fall River's first French Catholic church at the corner of Hope and Hunter Streets., Famous in parish history is the story that the new church was to be named' for St. Clothilde, but during cornerstonelaying ceremonies a platform .col-· lapsed, plunging many' into the basement excavation. Father Montaubricq was among the injured and he placed, himself under the protection of St. Anne during his convalescence. In gratitude for her intercesssion he named the new little church for, her.

The French priest 'was with St. Anne's until 1876, followed

by Rev. Thomas Briscoe, who served until 1877. In 1887 Dominican prie'sts took over the parish and by 1891, Rev. Bernard Sauval, O.P., then pastor, realizedthat St. Anne's had become too small for its growing congregation. He had plans drafted for the present Roman-Byzantine edifice by a famed Canadian a'rchitect, Napoleon Bourassa. The basement church is constructed of local granite and the upper church of Vermont marble., The late Bishop Stang presided with Archbishop Falconio at the dedication ceremonies July 4, 1906. Rev. Raymond Grolleau, O.P. was pastor at the time the over haif million dollar church was completed. St. Anne's rises 155 feet and is 273 feet kmg by 120 feet wide at its transepts. Its seating capacity is in excess of 2,000 people.

The parish complex originally included Dominican. Academy, a girls' school for kindergarteners through 12tl,1 graders, and St. Anne's Hospital. Both institu-

tions are now independently operated but retain affectionate links with the parish. Still parish ,property are the church and shrine, St. Anne's Priory aJW 8t.

Anne's parochal school.

The parish numbers oVer 5,000 members and nearly 600 children atteind St. Anne's school. Eighteen.;priests and five lay brothers are in residence at the priory.

Since 1901 St. Anne's Shrine came into being'in 190I, when relics of the saint were given to the parish by the church of St. Anne of Apt' in France. The shrine has become a place of pilgrimage throughout the year, but especially on the feast of St. Anne.

Many cures have been ascribed to the saint's intervention and a solemn novena in her honor has been held yearly since 1872.

Following Father Grolleau's 'pastorate, St. Anne's was headed

by Rev. Ange-Emile Dion, O.P., who assumed his position in 1909. In 1912 Rt. Rev. 'James E. Cassidy, then 'vicar General of the Diocese, blessed. the first bells of the church. St. Anne's golden 'jubilee was marked in 1919, with the late Bishop Feehan, presiding over special ceremonies. ' Rev. Pierre A. Granger, O.P. became pastor in 1919, followed 'by Rev. Mannes Marion, O.P. in 192.4. In 1925 Bishop Feehan blessed St. Anne's School on Forest Street.

Rev. Dominique Beaulne, O.P. was pastor from 1938, succeeded in 1942 by Rev. Thomas M. Landry, O.P., who served until 1957.

At the time of his assignment Father Landry, 32, was the youngest pastor in the Diocese.

Father Land,ry was followed as pastor by Rev. Henri O. Laporte, O.P., who was in office until 1963, succeeded by the present pastor, Rev. Raymond Drouin, O.P. The present director of St. Anne's Shrine is Rev. Pierre Lachance, O.P.
