WASHINGTON (NC) - More than $1 million in self-help grants have been awarded by the Campaign for Human Development (CHD), an anti-poverty education action program sponsored by the Catholic Church in the United States.

Thirty-three organizations of poor people in 22 states and Puerto Rico received grants totaling $1,004,450.

The Annual Human Development Collection is taken up each Fall ,in every Diocese of the country with 25 per cent of the amount collected remaining in the Diocese for programs there.

Just one month ago Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, announced 18 grants within the Diocese covering such programs as food study for the elderly poor, Big Brothers, underprivileged children, immigrants, camping p'rojects for indigent children and oth~rs.

CHD, which funded 264 projects totalling over $5.6 million in its first two years, announced the grants for 1972 will go primarily to projects in economic development, education, legal

aid, communications, housing, transportation, health, and social development for the poor.

While ten of the 33 organizatieins received grants of more than $40,000, the average grant was $30,000. The largest amount, $67,900, was granted to the "Mississippi .Band of Choctaw

Retiring Bishop Discusses War, Vatican Council

Liberation Theology Has' Bibl,ical Roots LOS ANGELES (NC)-Auxiliary Bishop Juan Arzube of Los Angeles finds a biblical basis for the "theology of liberation" now popular among Latin American progressives.

The new theology also has 'roots in Populorum Progressio, Pope Paul VI's encyclical on development, Bishop Arzube said in an article in The Tidings, archdiocesan weekly here.

'He said the encyclical teaches that "the development of those peoples striving to escape hunger, misery, endemic disease and ignorance has the Church's close, attention. " In addition the bishop said, "the bible reveals to us, both in the Old and the New Testament, a people that is conscious of living under structures 'that produce oppression. These structures are neither obligatory nor necessary. They are not inevitable nor a manifestation of God's positive will.

God Reveals "On the contrary,'! said Bishop Arzube, "God, reveals Himself to us as a 'liberating' God ... The Lord of liberation is the one that

brings His people from the slavery of Egypt to the Promised Land.

"The God of the Bible' cor\.stantly brings out prophets who show the people of their time the ways of justice and who ,condemn ,every type of oppression, until Christ Himself finally appears at the . perfect liberator from sin, which is at the b~sis and"root of every enslavement and injustice."

"Liberation implies the making of a new man who is freed from sin," Bishop Arzube said.

"The theology of liberation is the Christian faith lived through a process of human reflection.

An adult faith is a commitment with God ,and man-a faith that induces us to act: since I believe this I must do that. '

11_ _1IIIIIIII-

Better World "It does not concern

itself with the formulation of truths but with the achieving of a better world."

Bishop Arzube recently participated in a seminar on peace and justice at the Mexican' American Cultural Genter in San Antonio.

LITTLE ROCK (NC) - Retiring Bishop Albert L. Fletcher reminisced on his 26 years as head of the Little Rock diocese during a half-hour television interview here.

Calling himself "an old hillbilly bishop," Bishop Fletcher said, "I am getting old but I still feel good . . . and I hop~ to do something productive for the Church as long as I am able."

Bishop Fletcher will be replaced' by 48-year-Old Msgr. Andrew J. McDonald of Savannah,' Ga. Msgr. McDonald will be ordained fifth Bishop of Little Rock ' in Savannah Sept. 5.

Discussing the changes resulting from Vatican Council II, Bishop Fletcher said they have been in "disciplinary law," not in dogma or moral teaching. Speaking on the local "Face the State" program, the bishop stressed that "nothing of eternal value has been changed."

Illustrating his meaning of "disciplinary law," Bishop Fletch- ' er cited the former prohibition on eating meat on Fridays. "Disciplinary law," he said, is to help "keep human nature under con,trol."

He recalled that Pope John XXIII said that Vatican II "was not a dogmatic or moral council but a pastoral council." ' Right to Help In regard to the Vietnam War, the bishop said, "the Church has always taught that 'a man--or a country-can defend himself against aggression.... We can't _ be the defender of the peace all over the world but 'when we give our word, it is right (to help) ."

He added that he believed "our going there to help the Vietnamese defend themselves is right."

Bishop Fletcher predicted the Church would have ':'a greater number of Sisters who will give their lives" to serving in hospitals and schools. He also stressed the importance of religious education and said religious education cannot be separated from general education.

WCC Seeks Intensified Stud ies Of Catholic Church Membership GENEVA (NC)-A major document urging "intensified" studies of membership of the Catholic Church has been issued by the World Council of Churches (WCC) here.

The 38-page .review of the findings of the seven-year-old Joint Working Group carries a preface signed by the Rev. Eugene Carson Blake, WCC general secreta~y, and Cardinal Jan Willebrands, president of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

The timing of the statement is regarded as significant because it came less than a month before the World Council's 120-member central committee was slated to open a 10-day meeting Aug. 13, in the Netherelands. Any application of a Church for membership in the Council has to be approved by either the central committee or a Plenary Assembly of the Council. The committee meets yearly; the next assembly willi be in 1975 in Indonesia.

CommitteEl Has New Membe,s

Church Four Decad.es Late

WASHINGTON :(NC) -- Seven new members have been added to the national committee of the .' ~ Campaign for Huinan Development (CHD), .the Catholic Church's anti-poverty program.

In Aiding Farm Workers In the last release. of this column the argument was made that there can be no solution to the current farm labor crisis in Arizona· until the growers and the workers sit down together and negotiate bona fide collective bargaining contracts. It was further argued that if the grow- other major industries is finished business.

their workers, namely the United Farm Workers Union 'headed by Cesar Chavez.

I suppose there are some who will say that as a Consultant to the Bishops Committee on Farm Labor I have no business taking such a one-sided stand. They will argue, in other words, that the Committee and the members of its staff should play a strictly "neutral" role in the Arizonacontroversy.

In reply to this argument, let me try to set tile record straight concerning the role of the Bishops Committee. Contrary to certain statements made by some of its critics, the Committee has tried not to play an adversary role. It did not go into California, for example, to beat the drums for Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers Union, nor did it go there to oppose the growers.

It offered to be of whatever assistance it could to help the parties come together around the negotiating table and hammer out contracts.

Question of

Neu~rality

This is not to say, however, that the Committee was completely neutral. I certainly, as a Consultant to the Committee, did not' go to California and more recently, to Arizona, as a neutral bystander on the crucial issue involved in the farm labor dispute-namely labor's right to ' organize and bargain collectively. It seems to me that no one who speaks from the social tradition of the churches can or should pretend to be neutral on this matter.

To the contrary, I went to California and more recently to Arizona, strongly convinced that we are 35 or 40 years late in helping farm workers to exer· cise their right to organize-a right in which almost every other industry in the United States has long since beenaccepted as a matter of course.

In this connection, it is hardly necessary to add that if anyone were to go into Detroit or Pittsburgh in 1972 and question the right of auto workers and steelworkers to organize or question the need for collective bargaining. people would think he was insane.

Larger Church Tax Fear Eased

THE ANCHORThurs:, Aug. 10, 1972

'Be~rings'

to Aid Active Religious With Problems

In England LONDON (NC)-Earlier fears that the Catholic Church in Britain might have to pay another $800,000 annually in taxation under new fiscal proposals going through Parliament have been somewhat eased.

During a long debate in the House of Commons, Anthony Barber, Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister), conceded that any charity-and the churches are legally regarded 'as charities for tax purposes-that feels the new taxation system would strain its treasury should present its case to the government.

Consequently the National Catholic Social Welfare Commission has advised all Catholic charities to consult the taxation department concerned, the Ministry of Customs and Excise.

The new form of taxation proposed-"Value Added Tax" or more commonly known as VAT -would as originally drafted put 10 per cent in additional charges on such things as the building of churches, presbyteries, church halls as well as their repair and on such it~ms as furniture and the professional fees of architects and surveyors.

Joint Appeal It had been estimated that this would cost the average parishapart from the steadily increasing current rise in inflationabout another $350 or morl) a year.

The Anglican Church had saici VAT would cost it at least $2.6 million a year. In' all the British government looked like collecting something like $4 million more a year in taxes from the country's churches and their charities.

The churches made a joint appeal to the government against such taxation and during the parliamentary debate six major chaI'ities, including the Salv,ation Army, joined forces to protest against its effect.

Registet:,.ed Charities The Churches Main Committee, official link between the government and all the major churches, has had one suggested alleviation of VAT charges rejected but is now proposing another which would give the British Treasury discretion in granting relief to c,hurches and charities.

In "addition to the churches there are over 100,000 registered charities in England and Wales.

These include monasteries, seminaries, private schools, convents, hospitals and private hospitals.

The government is willing to consider any approaches made by church authorities regarding possible grants toward the cost of repairing historic churches in use.

Astronaut Starts Evangelism Center HOUSTON (NC)-James B. Irwin, an astronaut who walked on the moon, has quit the space program to begin a Christian evangelism program called "High Flight."

Irwin, a member of the Apollo 15 crew, left the program after he and other members of the Apollo 15 crew were reprimanded for taking 400 stamp~d envelopes on the mission without permission of their superior: A stamp collector later sold the "moon mail" but Irwin and his companions - David Scott and Alfred Worden-decided not to accept payment.

"I'm sorry it occurred," Irwin said at a press conference here.

"I think we~re all subject to making mistakes. I think it points up many frailties as a man when you rely on the wisdom of men instead of the wisdom of God." Irwin said that since his return he has wanted to devote his life to Christ and to share the inspiration and closeness to God which he felt while exploring the moon.

He plans to do this through a foundation, based in Colorado Springs, Col., and named after a poem entitled "High Flight." In the poem, John, Gillespie Magee Jr. described the ecstacy of flight.

"The foundation will be a base

Proposes Prolonged Diaconate Service VATICAN CITY (NC)-Mter a seminarian has finished his studies, he should not be orda,ined right away, but rath~r serve for "a period' of time" as a deacon to see if the priesthood is really for him and to see if the people want him as a priest.

This "proposal," offered by Bishop Costanzo Micci, Apostolic Administrator of Fano on the Adriatic coast, was published, without commel).t by the Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano.

Vatican spokesman Frederico Alesandrini told NC News that the article submitted by Bishop Micci was carefully entitled "A Proposal" and was the opinion of one bishop.

to sponsor speaking engagements, publications, retreats and training activities related to sharing our Christian faith," Irwin said. "We will seek through all our work to lead man to his路 highest flight through life, to realize his greatest potential."

NEW YORK (NC) - Bearings for Re-Establishment, an organization that has helped former priests and Religious find new jobs, has expanded to include a service for active priests and Religious who have vocational problems.

Several Catholic religious. communities have already contracted for their members to make use of the service, known as the Manhattan Career Development Center.

Linda Wagner, associate director of the center, said it was started in May with a $25,000 grant from the Irwin Sweeney Miller Foundation of Columbus, Ind. The foundation is connected with the family of J. Irwin Miller, a former member of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches.

The center will 'cover a broad range of career needs for Rell. gious, such 路as assistance to en路 able them to use and reach their full capabilities and resources more effectively in the Church; aid in clarifying or confirming vocational choices; assistance; for those wishing to identify or resolve crises affecting their work, and clarification of strengths and weaknesses as they relate to effectiveness in Church-related tasks.

Miss Wagner said that while there are 11 similar Protestantoriented organizations, none js geared specifically to Catholic/>.

According to Malcolm Pennington. chairman of the board, the center is negotiating to obtain a director who is an active priest and thus more familiar with the specifics that can build into problems for Catholic clergy and Sisters.

According to the Bearings newsletter, the "critical transitional periods" in each person's career growth have to do with: plans for continuing education, "mid-life flare-out," mission evaluation and pre-retirement.

Miss Wagner noted that the center will offer a two-and-ahalf-day program with various stages of evaluation and assessment, with two foflow-up sessions.

"Though the main thrust will be Catholic," she said, "indivictuals of any religious persuasion are being invited to make use of ~he center."

Life Saved

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Aug.·1 0, 1972

.

Continued from Page One Iy implanted on the swaying ,bridge. A life had been saved; a person was given another chance.

Asked why he stopped by himself for a 'brief moment before climbing to the top of the span• Father Foister commented that it was for a priestly and oldfashioned reason: "I prepared myse1r as quickly as possible to die; I offered God . 'my life; I 'begged Him to use me as His tool to show His love for this man."

The whole episode is not strictly priestly ministry or a subject taught in the seminary. the chaplain commented. except -that a priest is to serve his flock and be truly a father to his flock.

This is done in the pulpit and at the ·:altar. It happens in the parish school and CCD classes.

It is seen in visits to the sick, sympathy at a funeral. joy at a wedding.

But there was a child in need on that bridge and the priest was there as he is in all other human and spiritual needs.

'

New Spirituality Cardinal John Wright, prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for the Clergy, has preqicted that by the end of this century there will be a new lay spirituality making . its impact on the Church and in the world.

His is a refreshingly optimistic voice in the midst of the all-too-many dire predictions that surround religion these days.

But the Cardinal is a man of great vision and also a man with a sense of history. He knows that in the time of cultural upheaval---and this age is experiencing just that-men will tum to many things but will always turn to what is basic demand of the human heart~the search for God. It is St. Augustine's echo all over again in every age, "God, You have made us for Yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.'-' Already a surge of spirituality is seen in the various prayer groups in which people are involving themselves.

Quite apart from a search for" speaking in tongues," these groups inspire people to pray, to gather together all their forces and turn these toward the union with God that is the desire of every soul.

The activists of recent years have come to the reali. zation that their activity must be rooted in depths of conviction. ·And these convictions-the desire for justice, for peace, for brotherhood, for love-are basicaliy spiritual virtues and are first a gift from God before bei~g the qualities of men.

The liturgy is doing its work of teaching as never before, with people becoming more famjliar with the g{eat biblical prayers and themes which repeat, again and again, the two paramount ideas: that God is other, and yet, that God is present to His people and concerned about them.

Men today are understanding that humanitarianism is not enough, that for people to love one another is not human but super-human, not natural but supernatural, not the work of man alone but a gift from ·God. So Cardinal Wright sees in all these stirrings of the "present-day human spirit the reaching out to God. And if people are not wanting in their search and cooperati9n, God will not be wanting in His revelation of Himself and in His giving of Himself to His own.

a

Legal Discussion There are discussions going on in· England today'which may well have reverberations in this country. Judges, prosecutors, legal experts of all kinds' are beginning to show an impatience with the way the law is administered and they are particularly disturbed over the fact that the law does -not always seem to bring about justice. They are upset that the criminal often escapes his just desserts not because there is no legal case against him and not on the basic supposition of his innocence but on a .technicality which his counsel exploits.

It is a questioh that is bothering American legal ex. perts too.

From the Chief Justice of the United States down, there is concern that justice in this country is not quick enough. There is concern that in some instances there is the exploitation of the law to avoid justice.

There is likewise the concern that the pendulum may swing the other way and that the rights of the individual and the concept of a man's presUJJ1ption of innocence might be in jeopardy. This would not serve justice either.

It is to be h6p~d that the discussion in Engl~nd may bring about the balancing of the rights of the many and the rights of the one, and that this discussion may be profitable for the United States as well.

The bill, approved at the end , : of the legislative session, took ,,the form of a state policy statement. It states that "every child , shall be entitled to life fr~mthe moment of conception."

Sargent said that the bill was "technieally faulty and extremely vague." Enactment of the bill, he said, "would be a step backward and seriously disturb the delicate balance achieved between the rights of the child and the .rights of the parent" in existing laws.

The Massachusetts Catholic Conference, an' organization representing the ,state's four dioceses, charged the gover~or "is guilty of ignorance at least and patent hypocrisy at best" in vetoing the bill.

"For the governor to question the clarity of the bill or its legal implications is prq.of he never read it . . . " the MCC charged.

He was out on the porch roof the other day, painting the side of the house. He had the reGord player in his room going full blast, and the window wide open.

Several of the children on the block gathered to watch.

Now the "Troubled Water" is a permanent river of white paint running through the green shingles on our porch roof.

He Ate It: She tasted ... and spit it out.

"Okay, you win. Want your baby food? Mmmmm . . . it's good." He made elaborate gestures extolling the virtues of her baby food, pretending he was eating it himself.

Americans to Head Religious Congregations ROME (NC)-Two Americans have been elected to head their . religious congregations: Father Thomas G. Langenfeld of the Viatorians and Mother Regina Casy of the- Cdbrini Sisters.

Father Langenfeld is the 11 th superior general of the Viatorian Fathers and Mother Casy the fifth of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, in succession to St. Francis Xavier Cabrini who was 'also the congregation's foundress.

Both were elected at general chapters of their congregations in Rome. Each is the first American to hold that post.

• Priest Criticizes Nativist Attitude Of Americans SAN DIEGO (NC)-According to. Father Edmundo Rodriguez, co-founder of PADRES, an organization of Mexican-American priests, the persistence of "American nativism" is a major barrier in the advancement of Mexican-Americans.

In an interview with the Southern Cross, the San Diego diocesan newspaper, Father Rodriguez said that the main problem facing Mexican-Americans is the "resentment of people who feel we're foreign to their way of life, to their own ethnic and cultural background."

This nativism, or the attitude that white Americans are inherently superior to ·immigrants,. came to America in the 19th century. Now, nativism has excluded Mexican-American participation in business, education, and government, Father Rodriguez continued.

Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in San Antonio, Tex., . Father Rodriguez is organizer of PADRES' mobile leadership development teams. The teams train local Mexican-American leaders to "become aware of their parish and community problems and needs," he said.

Sense of Displacement The superior attitude of some Anglo-Saxons makes the problem worse, he said.

"The Mexican comes as an immigrant to this country governed by Anglo-Saxons who make him feel like an intruder, like he doesn't belong," said Father Rodriguez.

"He doesn't belong to the old country and he's not welcomed in the new country ... Even a Mexican-American born in this country has a sense of displacement," the PADRE organizer explained.

"The problem," the priest said, "is those people who encourage cheap labor, the schools which don't educate the MexicanAmericans as they should, the banks which won't give Mexican~ Americans -a business loan, the attitude of those whites who think the blame is only with the Mexican-Americans."

Revise History Books Part of the problem is that education in this country "is not being geared to the needs of Mexican - Americans," Father Rodriguez said. '(~chools should. have bilingual teachers from the start" he said. "Children must first be taught English and then the subject matter. They cannot learn both at the same time," History books should be revised to reflect the contributions' Spahish people have made to America, Father Rodriguez suggested. Most histories he claimed , make the Spanish and Mexicans the .villians and say little about their efforts to develop America.

PADRES, Father Rodriguez said, is trying to "eradicate the lack of education, create a critical religious awareness, speed up' the empowerment of the Mexican - Americ!!Jl-G6t1lmunity and improve social conditions.

Nuns Effective In Priests Tasks SAN SALVADOR (NC) - An evaluation of the work performed by nuns filling ~n for scarce priests in the San Salvador archdiocese , most populous in this tiny nation of El Salvador, indicates that the women of the Church have done very well indeed.

Six 'months ago, Archbishop Luis Chavez y Gonzalez of San Salvador sought the nuns' help in meeting the Church's obligations -in parishes unattended by a priest. In all, San Salvador has fewer than 250 priests to serve a population of 1.3 million--a ratio of one priest to each 6,000 Catholics, compared with one to 800 in the United States.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Congressman Wilbur Mills (D., Ark.) has announced tna public hearings on tax credit legislation benefitting parents of nonpublic' school children will begin this month.

MiHs is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the U. S. House of Representatives, where tax legislation originates.

Fifty-nine tax credit bills, allOWing parents of nonpublic school children to subtract some . education costs from their federl income tax bill, 'are pending before the committee.

The most recent tax credit bill was introduced Aug. 2 by Congressman Hugh L. Carey (D., .

N. Y.). Co-sponsored by Mills, the bill is more complex than others the committe is considering because it also includes proposals for the redistribution of public education funds. ' Mills said hearings on the tax credit legislation would begin Aug. 14 and continue until Aug. 18, when the committee will recess 'for the RepubNcan National Convention. The hearings will resume sometime after Labor Day, Sept. 4, he said.

Many nonpublic school officials consider tax credits the most .constitutionally viable form remaining since the U. S. Supreme Court banned two direct aid programs -to church-related 'schools in June 1971.

President Nixon's panel on nonpublic education recommended tax credits for parents of nonpublic school children in its final report last April.

• Archbishop Lays Down Rules For Folk Masses in Wales CARDIFF (NC) - ArchbisQop John Murphy of Cardiff has laid down three rules to stop "abuses which would kill the folk-Mass movement stone dead."

Every Folk Mass in this big Welsh diocese must be approved by the archbishop himself or by Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Mullins.

No group of priests from outside the diocese are to be invited to participate unless they clearly understand and abide by nis mles.

The Folk Mass is to be used for teaching youth a 1~)Ve of the Mass and is not to be confused with .ecumenical projects.

"I feel we should do all we can to encourage youth to love the Mass," Archbishop Murphy said. "There 'are several ways of doing this, one of which is the Folk, Mass where youth can participate in music and song adapted ~o their own taste and age."

Several such Masses have already been held with great success in diocesan churches and schools and the archbishop expressed gratitude to the priests and teachers who organized them.

He added in his statement that Folk Masses, like all other Cath-

Plan Seminary Study in Rome DALLAS (NC)-Holy Trinity, Seminary here, 'in an effort to find better ways to "develop and mature the future priest", will send its second year graduates to study in Rome for one semester.

Ten deacon seminarians will leave for Rome in September to study in the Angelicum, the Pontifical University of 81. Thomas, operated by the Dominican order.

Msgr. G.A. Hughes, rector of Holy Trinity, said the program should produce a cultural experience for the future priests.

"Tomorrow's priest must continually be better educated," he said. "His parishioners will be better educated and more widely traveled. Therefore the' priest must be able to communicate 'with them. He must be able to shar~ their experiences."

The Angelicum is housed in a 16th century building in the center of ancient Rome overlooking the Forum.

Medical Society Changes Name LONDON (NC)-The Catholic doctors of England and Wales have decided to change the name of their society because they are often thought to be a group of astronauts.

Their name has been changed from the Guild of St. Luke, SS. Cosmas and Damian to the Guild of Catholic Doctors.

"As Cosmas was more often than not misspelt Cosmos we were often thought to be a guild of astronauts," comments their journal, the Catholic 'Medical Quarterly.

But the saints stay as patrons -St. Luke the Evangelist, whom St. Paul described as a physician, and the twin Saints Cosmas and Damian much venerated in the East as "the moneyless ones" because they practiced medicine without charging their patients.

Cardinal Pleads For Prisoners UTRECHT (NC) - Cardinal Bernard Alfrink of Utrecht, president of Pax Christi, international Catholic peace movement, has appealed to Brazilian authorities to heed the demands of political prisoners on a hunger strike.

'Grille Is Melting'

TRENTON (NC) - Hopes for massive assistance for parents of children attending non-public schools were dashed here when the State Assembly rejected Gov. William T. Cahill's tax reform' proposals by a 2-to-l vote.

Foundation stone for the tax reform program - which would see the state take over all education, judicial and welfare expenses-was' a state income tax, a form of taxation which the legislature has consistently resisted.

Coupled with the income tax proposal was a provision for tax credits of $50 per child enrolled in private elementary schools and $100 per child enrolled in non-public high schools. Both the tax reform program and the tax credit proposal had the support of the New Jersey Catholic Conference.

Unaffected by the Assembly's rejection of the governor's plan was a $19 million assistance program enacted a year ago.

Under that program, parents are reimbursed $10 on the elementary level and $20 on the secondary level for secular subject textbooks. In addition, it provides for the purchase of special equipment, supplies and remedial services.

A suit challenging that law has been filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, 10 other organizations and 54 individuals.

Priest Consultant To Commission WASHINGTON (NC)-Father Roland Melody, head of the U.S. Catholic Conference drug education office, has been appointed a consultant to the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse.

Father Melody, coordinator of USCC's Catholic Office of Drug Education, will serve as "religious consultant" to the 12·mem· ber commission, headed by Raymond P. Schafer, former governor of Pennsylvania.

Established by Congress in 1970, the commission issued a report on marijuana in March 1971.

billions a year-this is a sizeable sum if it is properly spent on basic needs. May there not be other aspects of world justice that are at least as importantfor instance, racial equalitywhich deserve more emphasis?

The short answer is, of course, that in the section following "the right to development," the Bishops do deal very strongly with racial and political oppressions.

But their emphasis has deeper roots. In the first place, not to have enough protein in infancy -the lot of millions of babiesis the worst of all oppressions since it means quite literally, that the child's brain will be stunted for life. Lack of shelter, lack of schooling, lack of work, each exercise their own forms of oppression.

Development is bound up wit!"! every form of . dignity-for if a man lacks the mind, energy and will to take a hold on his own life, how can he be free?

Then, as the Bishops make clear, the whole drive for world development, which seemed to be gathering momentum in the early Sixties, has in fact lost much of its energy and commitment. If the willingness of rich states to share their wealth more justly is the precondition of avoiding anarchy, breakdown and revolution-a repetition of 1848 in Europe or 1917 in Russia or 1949 in China-then, at the moment, the world is moving towards disastrous upheavals.

The "Hungry 1980s" will be as desperate as "the Hungry Forties" of the 19th Century.

Negative Aim So "the right to development" is a concept with which the Bishops try to arrest this disastrous trend. And the important thing about it is that it really is a new idea compared with the old reasons put forward for development assistance. In the Fifties and Sixties, two notions governed the giving of aid-in other words, a better sharing of world wealth.

The first and strongest, which dominated United States policy, was the belief that if the new developing or "post colonial" countries were not assisted, they would turn to the Communists.

The "Sino-Soviet bloc" of Russia and China would extend the

people simply to make sure that our side stays on top in the Cold War. Have Lost Force The second motive, much stronger in Europe, was a nostalgic feeling for the old days of Empire when Britain, France and the Low Countries between them ran most of Africa and Asia.

"We have obligations to our old colonies" was the argument.

"We must help them launch themselves on the strenuous life of independence." On the side, economic and commercial interests did not want to lose the strong position in local markets which they had built up during the colonial period.

Today both reasons have lost their force, Russia and China spend their time not cooperating for world dominion but blackguarding each other for all they are worth. The tragic debacle in Vietnam suggests the limits and frustrations and final uselessness of the Cold War approach. But by the same token, aid-giving as a defense mechanism is out of date. It is significant that the United. States-with 35 per cent of the world's wealth for six per cent of the world's peoples-is now a pitiful twelfth or thirteenth on the list of aid-giving states.

New Effort In Europe colonial memories fade. In any case trade in the new Common Market and with America and Japan is much more interesting. Aid has not fallen as in America. But interest has declined. What the Bishops pro. pose is a new motive for a new' effort.

What can it be. Here the deliberations at the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment at Stockholm have provided a relevant and fascinating background to the Bishops' sense of. "the right to development." .

If, as all the Stockholm discussions and debates make clellr, technology cannot expand forever, resources do become exhausted, population cannot grow indefinitely and pollution may destroy the air, soil and water on which all life depends, then mankind has to live with limits, . with care, with thrift and with generosity. The issue of funda. mental human rights and dignity comes up in a new easy way. In this context the "righf to development" can become a policy which will permit all living. things to sUI\vive on Planet Earth.

Ronald Reagan of California told Pope Paul VI about the drug prevention program' in California and discussed the Jesus movement in the Untted States during a 25-minute audience here.

Accompanied by his wife, Nancy, and 14-year-old son, Skipper, the governor was on a two-week swing through six European capitals for President Nixon.

At a press conference in Rome, Reagan said he conveyed to Pope Paul the President's "warmest regards and appreciation for papal efforts on behalf of prisoners of war in Southeast Asia an'd his interests in the world drug problems."

"The Pope agreed with me," Reagan said, "that attempts to stem the drug traffic are like trying to carry water in a sieve."

Reagan told the Pope the California approach aims "to educate

habilitate those who have been hooked." .

Reagan told the Pope that the California program does not have authority figures, such as teachers lecturing against drugs, but employs addicts to tell the young of "the horror that still hangs over them."

The Pope expressed interest----in the Jesus movement among the young in the United States.

"The Pope did not find it surprising," Reagan said, "that the young would be attracted to Christ."

Liturgy expert Father Godfrey Diekmann once wrote that the crucial problem needing resolution 'in today's American Catholic Church centers around the division of mammoth parishes into more manageable worshipping communities.

The people at Our Lady of the Lake seemed to have fashionedan imaginative, but pracp tical solution which solves that difficulty. These unique home celebrations Hkewise fulfill Roman directives which suggest they can 'meet special needs while "deepening ana intensifying the Christian life" of those who participate in them.

There are additional benefits: the program intimately invoives laity in the total life of' the church ,and gives each of the assistant or associate pastors an area of the parish which at least . in some significant way. is his own.

Pastors are a tiny group today, There are .in the Ullited States approximately 18,0.00 Roman Catholic pastors 'and 16,000 Lutheran pastors; considering all of the denominations, t.here are probably only approximately .100,000 pastors. Roman Catholic pastors have no formalorganization for comparing notes, few fellow-pastors in th~ir dioceses, and many pressures. ' Imagine for a moment that you are a pastor. If you are like most pastors, you are over 50 years of age. Your bishop has probably met with you once or twice during the past year, and there are probably ~ few things he would like to change in your style of life or your way of doing things, even though he is more pleased than not with your overall behavior ~nd performance.

You have a parish which is divided more than ever between young,and old, liberal and not-so

There are. frequent disagreements -among your people now; some~ times even you cannot settle them.

No Abdication Change seems to be in the air.

Along with change is growing uncertainty. Of late you may have been bothered by feelings of doubt or wearnIess, by a SI,lSpicion that you do not know where you stand with anybody, or that you do not know what will happen next or where it will all lead.

The mere mention of money brings you a headache because of the 'financial situ~tion which you can see getting worse but which appears unimportant to many others in your parish and _ diocese.

The little rhyme many of us l.earned as children is the: petition we are, still making. Maybe Mary was not dressed In blue.

Maybe the verse is childish.

Neither of those' ideas are really that important. The point that does matter ,is that we are searching for answers to: "how to pray" and "what to say."

It is interesting that the dicipIes of Christ's time also asked him: "Lord, teach us to pray."

He told them: "In your prayers do not babble as the pagans do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard . . . So you should pray like this: Our Father in heaven may your name be' held holy your kingdom come your will be done, on earth as .in heaven.

In 1948, when he was 23 years old, Robert Craft bec~me .~ musica! assistant to. Igor Stravinsky, the greatest '~lgure In twentieth century music. Until Stravinsky's death In 1971, Mr. Craft was closely associated with the com-

and his wife Vera.

From the outset, Mr. Craft kept a diary. Excerpts from it 'are now published in a huge

RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S.

KENNEDY

book entitled Stravinsky: Chronicleof a Friendship (Knopf, 201 E. 50th St., N. Y. 10022. $12.50).

It is bound to fuel the already blazing controversy concerning the public image of Stravinsky which Mr. Craft has created in the past. Some who knew Stravinsky consider that image mostly a fiction; while others find it . true to life.

During Stravinsky's later years there appeared a series of books, about himself and his music, which were presumably of his own auth.orship. But there were those who maintained that the books were at least largely the work of Mr. Craft, that the style was distinctively Mr. Craft's, and that the Stravinsky they communic"ated was not the real article but a Crafty version. ' Same Style One thing which becomes clear from a reading of Stravinsky: Chronicle ofa Friendship is that the style of the books purportedly written by Stravinsky is so much like that of what Mr. Craft now publishes under his own name as to be identical with it.

There is, for example, the passion (and the weakness) for unusual and obscure words. An amateur and collector of matchbooks, for example, becomes a "phillumenist." A four-letter word is a "tetragram." A railway engine which gives off huge quantities of smoke is' described as "fuliginous." And so on.

Almost every page of the' 424 has .its quota of such tricks. It may be mere pedantry, or it may be exhibitionism. In any case, it' is extremely tiresome and quite juvenile.

Correct Usage There are times when only an uncommon word will do, if precision is' to be served. But such times are' rare, and what Mr. Craft does is to conceal meaning, not to communicate it, and to snoot the reader.

He maintains that Stravinsky, who spoke several languages, insisted on correct usage and had a huge array of dictionaries, which he was always consulting.

But he also maintains that Stravinsky loathed pretentiousness and bombast in music. Stravinsky's own music corroborates

that idea. It was inconsistent of him to have been pretentious in speech, if indeed he actually was.

Mr. Craft cetainly is.

And this is a great pity because Mr. Craft can write extremely well. He has extraordinary powers of description, communicating the feel and the atmosphere of various places.

Neatness, aptness, wit are his.

But repeatedly he spoils the effect by trundling in a wheelbarrowful of words not to be found even in an unabridged dictionary, and dumping them like bricks.

No Retirement His years with Stravinsky were an extraordinary experience or,better, steady succession of such experiences. Stravinsky was, incontestably, a genius and a remarkable human being. To have known him so intimately, to have appreciated him so well, and to be able to report him so vividly represents a great combination of privilege and ability seldom encountered.

Stravinsky was about 65 when Mr. Craft's association with him began. That is now generally accepted as retirement age. It was nothing of the sort for Stravinsky. He was to live for almost another quarter of a century, and to work almost to the. end.

The work was of two sorts.

The principal sort was composing. To him, to compose was to live. If he could compose no longer, he wanted to die. The other form of activity was conducting. He went all oV\'lr the world to fulfill engagements with innumerable orchestras.

Return to Russia The concerts noted in Mr. Craft's journals were in different parts of the United States and Europe, in Iron Curtain countries, Latin America, in the Middle East, in Africa, in the Orient,' in Australia and New Zealand. This meant thousands and thousands of miles of travel, often at great inconvenience. On page 112 he is in Mexico; on page 113, in Finland.

But the traveling went' beyond what was required by concert dates. For example, when his work took him to the. South Pacific, Stravinsky made a side trip to Tahiti. When in South Africa, he went out of his way to visit a Bantu reservation. In Brazil, he explored' one of the shanty towns bordering Rio.

CHILD'S DRAWING OF PRAYER: Prayer need not be memorized to be prayer. Such a simple statement as "Hi, Lord. How are 'you today,?" as this school boy suggests can be counted as acknowledgement of friendship with God. NC Photo.

Debate Minimum Marriag'e Age DUBLIN (NC) - Irish parliamentarians will soon debate a proposed law fixing 16 as the legal minimum age for marriage, except in special circumstances.

Marriage Bill 1972 will remedy a situation in which there is no legal minimum age for marriage in Ireland except the minimum based on ancient Common Law, which says a boy must be 14 and a girl at least 12.

People younger than 16 will still be allowed to marry, provided they have the permission of a church and after considerations of "propriety" and "the welfare of the person" are taken into account.

The Catholic' Church is cited as competent to grant permission, and other religious authorities to be given this power, include any archbishop or bishop of the Church of Ireland (Protestant), other major Protestant churches, the Quakers, and the chief rabbi of the Jewish community.

The smaller religious groupings cannot give permission to members to wed younger than 16 until application is made to the Irish High Court.

The bill also proposed change in the law on parenta'l consent, an important factor to those who want to marry young. Under existing laws, only those over 21 years of age can marry without the consent of their parents.

Under the new law, anyone under 21 refused consent may ap. peal to the High Court.

(In Britain and Northern Ireland, present laws say anyone over 18 can marry even if refused parental consent.)

Practice To be good, we must do good; and by doing good, we take a sure means of being good, as the use and exercise of the muscles increase their power.

COtltinued from Page Sixteen the parents of the Cana couple muffed the wine arrangements.

It was their fault. Why should he pick up the pieces? But he lived at a deeper level where accountability is a condition for happiness. The result was that he brought a river of wine and a gloriously happy ending to the peasant wedding at Cana.

The film, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" shows George and Martha engag,ing in savage and brutal infighting after 20 years of marriage. They knew no happiness because from the first day of their marriage they forgot the simple truth of daily accountability. Now all they have is a monument of ashes, whereas they could be loving instead of 'hating each other. The Cana message eliminates such savagery..

Be Ready to Sacrifice The outpouring of wine at Cana is the symbol of Christ's decision to put his life on the line for others.' At first he said his hour had not come. It was too soon to make himself vulnerable to people. But then he realized he must, start getting involved with people and their' problems~ and this meant being wounded by them. Eventually it would mean the ultimate wounds of the cross.

In marriage, the hour of the couple has come. The "I do's" mean that vulnerability is the marital daily bread. The choice means that this is a disarmament time. It is peace-talk at the highest level. Let there be peace in the world and let it begin with us.

The beauty of the wedding day is that first love makes this easy to say and do. Live the Cana message of fidelity, accountability and sacrifice and you will know the wine of perfect joy.

In my reading of the public opinion polls before. the convention it would look as if about half of the Catholic Democrats had strayed.

If Mr. McGovern is to boost his 37 per cent of the electorate (in the last pre-convention Gallup) to something approaching 50 per cent he absolutely has to win back a substantial proportion of the Catholic Democrats who are currently supporting Nixon..

MILAN (NC)-The plight· of hundreds and thous'ands of Italian childwor~ers has been emphasized Iby the accidental death late in June of a l2-year·old boy, crushed by a hoist on a building site near here.

Legislat,ion to keep children under 15 from working for money is flagrantly disregarded in Italy. The use of illegal child labor . reaches levels usuaIly' found' 'in the underdeveloped world.

Police say that the boy, Romeo Longhi, who died at Treviglio, .was employed by a one-man building firm, Luciano Rocchi, who was adding an extra floor, to a bungalow. An electric hoist instaIled on the roof to lift bricks and mortar crashed down on the boy, killing him inst(!ntIy. Rocchi is now in prison facing charges of homicide and violations of industrial safety regulations and child labor laws.

The child'S" parents ,say he wasn't really working; he was '. just messing about on the building site and it was a fine way to keep him occupied during the long school holidays. The pay for this sort of work is about $1.50 a day. The Longhis are a poor family, and Romeo's father has just been released from a Milan hospital.

Urges Elimination ....

Of Discrimination PERTH (NC) - Archbishop Lancelot J. Goody of Perth has urged Australians to eliminate completely any discrimination between aborigines, the descendants of Australia's original inhabitants, and Europeans, or whites, in the country.

In a special National Aborigines Day statement, Archbishop Goody caIled for "equality of treatment. AIl underprivileged" white or black, must be assisted to better their own position. '.

Pr.oportionately more aborigines are underprivileged than. Europeans. Therefore more encouragementmust go to them."

The dark-skinned abor.igines have been i~ the past, and to some extent still are, subjected to discriminatory treatment similar to that suffered by blacks in the United States.

Legal Crackdown. . Hits 'Gambling' At Parish Fairs DUB'UQUE (NC) - A crackdown on alleged gambling activities at fairs and social gatherings has forced the cancellation of several parish picnics in the Dubuque archdiocese and stalled planning for others.

A telephone spot check by The Witness, weekly newspaper of the archdiocese, revealed that many pastors and picnic committees are bewildered by the situation. A number have apparently chosen to cancel their plans for this summer; others are postponing a decision pending court clarification.

The Iowa Supreme Court refused to stop Attorney ,General Richard Turner from prosecuting fairs or picnics which sponsor games the attorney general believes are banned by the state's gambling laws.

The court did, however, leave open the possibility of an appeal by fair organizations in Iowa on the grounds that the attorney general's crackdown creates an economic hC;lrdship which might force some fairs to close down or go even deeper in debt.

"Gentlemen, start your en,gines," might be a familiar quote at racing tracks but it was a new cry at Cathedral Camp recently.

Mr. Stanley Gilbert visited the Camp with his sons, Kerry and Kevin, and with a friend Sean Costello. Kerry just happens to be 1970 Grand National Champion in quarter-midget racing. cars . It was obvious that just about every boy at Cathedral Camp wished that he would be the one going into the cars and many an eye looked at Kerry's five-foot high trophy as if measuring it for himself.

All the campers enjoyed the fun, the younger ones looking the cars over wistfully while the older ones came up with the technical questions about size

Scranton Receives $175,000 for Relief SCRANTON (NC)-Donations totalling, over $175,000 will be used to help families that were victims of tropical storm Agnes.

According to Bishop J. Carroll McCormick of Scranton, the donations are coming from sources outside the diocese as well as from pari~hioners.

The funds will be used for needy families only, Bishop McCormick explained. No money will be spent for the repair or replacement of destroyed parochial structures or their contents.

A portion of the relief money will be given to Catholic Social services for distribution within the diocese, Bishop McCormick said. The number of homes damaged within ~ach parish will be to determine how much aid each parish will receive.

Tighter Controls On TV Debated

p

MEXICO CITY (NC)-Mexico's Chamber of Deputies has begun an investigation aimed at reforming the radio and television law and giving the government broader a.uthority over TV programming.

Adding fuel to the debate is a new study by Gustavo Gonzalez Guerrero, a sociologist at the National University here, which criticizes U. S.-produced television shows aired here in Mexico for stressing sex and violence.

Gonzalez Guerrero's study, prepared under the auspices of the Center for Ecumenical Studies, confirms the views of many Mexican officials, educators and media experts. These are mounting a campaign to end what 'they regard as the unhealthy influence that U. S.produced shows are having on the Mexican public.

Among those cited as doing the greatest damage are such shows as "The Untouchables," "The Saint," "Mannix," and "High ChaparraL" Worse yet, said the Mexican sociologist, "the average Mexican likes this kind of program," as evidenced by their success in seIling products.

Exiled Bishop Ferrara Sees Hope For Church in South Sudan CINCINNATI (NC) - After a long dark night of suppression and bloody warfare, the Church may be experiencing a bright and peaceful dawn in southern Sudan.

That's the belief expressed by Bishop Dominic Ferrara, exiled Prefect ApostoHc of Mupoi in South Sudan, on a visit here.

Bishop Ferrara, who served here in the 1940s, said he hopes that a recent agreement giving self-government t~ the South Sudan would bring peace to the country where he served the Church as a missionary of the Verona Fathers. The agreement marked the end of hostilities between the black Africans of the South, many of them Christians, and ,the predominantly Arab northerners, who controlled the government at Khartoum.

Still in exile, Bishop Ferrara has been ministering to refugees from South Sudan in the Central African Republic and in Zaire, formerly known as the Congo.

Forgotten People Only three years ago he described the Sudanese refugees as the world's forgotten people, tens of thousaands of whom have been living in camps set up by Catholic ReHef Services, the Red Cross and the United Nations.

Now at last he sees many of the refngees making their way back to their native Sudan. "I. am glad to see them go back, and I hope they will be able to live in peace," he said. "This is what we have been working for since 1965."

Headquarters of the bishop is at M'Boki in the Central African Republic. Asked how well developed M'Boki was, Bishop Ferrara smiled and showed a photograph of his episcopal residence there, I made of adobe and thatch.

Allhough he was expelled from

Commission Backs Lettuce Boycott

the Sudan in 1964, he still considers himself Prefect Apostolic of Mupoi, and he said he would return there if the government permits him to do so.

Spiritual Needl!.

His hope to return was buoyed by a report from Rome that a new apostolic administrator had been installed in Juba, also in South Sudan. The new administrator, Msgr. Paolino Doggale, had also been exiled.

"We never opposed the Sudan government," Bishop Ferrara said. "We ministered to the spiritual needs of the people."

He continued to serve them in exile, and late last year h~ visited Uganda, where he ordained three men f.rom South Sudan as 'Priests of the Mupoi diocese.

They had continued their theology studies in exile. Much of his time also has been spent in organ,izing food reBel programs and medical care for the refugees.

Bishop Ferrara spoke' of the respect shown by the Verona Fathers missioners and others for the Africans among whom they work and said the Church was accepted by tlJe people as a result. "We used the language of the people in the liturgy," he said, "and encouraged them to develop their own music and songs for worship." r""""""""""'~
