Archbishop Urges War on Poverty BOSTON (NC) - Citing the "absurdity" of poverty in our cities, Archbishop Humberto S. Medeiros of Boston has issued a 59-page pastoral' hitter calling on all segments of the community to assist him in combatting urban ills and poverty.

Appealing specifically to Religious, professionals, and service officials, the archbishop asked that their expertise be dedicated to an all-out effort to help those "entombed in poverty" and victimized by a general and "listless sharing of left-overs."

He cited as examples "the elderly who are imprisoned in their apartments because of fear," the unemployed, and restless, victims of unscrupulous slum landlords, and, "poor fathers (who) weep

in tenements because their children, have been 'bitten by rats."

The Archbishop made a number of recommendations to combat the problems.

He urged priests of the archdiocese to become a "symbol of evengelical poverty" to the poor people they serve, "set up a series of monthly discussion groups" on the subject of social justice, and adopt a "parish sharing" pro- ' gram in which inner-city parishes are aided by regular collections from other parishes.

Doctors and dentists should establish more medical programs for the poor, Archbishop Medeiros said. Members of the legal professions should "work to imTurn to Page Three

Chinese 路 Cuban Refugees Arrive In United States NEW YORK (NC) -' The first of several hundred ChineseCuban refugees have arrived here after months of planning and assistance from the United States Catholic Conference (USCC) and Sen. Hiram. Fong of Hawaii.

Aided by the USCC Migration and Refugee Service, a group of 83 Chinese-Cubans flew in from Austria, marking the second escape many of the refugees have made ftom a Communist country. . According to a spokesman from Sen. Fong's office, many of the refugees escaped from Communist China to Cuba years ago.

Following Castro's rise to power . in Cuba, a large number of the refugees began making plans for another flight from Communism.

One -by-one, the Cubans applied for travel visas to Spain and paid the required found-trip air fare in advance, a USCC Migration and Refugee Service official explained. Cuba and Spain have a reciprocal travel and airline agreement, he noted.

Once reaching Spain, the refugees asked for, and received political' asylum, he continued.

They joined an estimated 22,000 Cuban refugees already located in Spain.

Arrange Transportation In Spain, the refugees were stranded. Little work was available and housing was scarce, Sen. Fong's spokesman said. The refugees' only means of support came from Spanish Catholic charity organiz;ltions.

Sen. Fang, who is the ranking Republican of the Senate subcommittee on refugees and escapees, then began receiving requests from American citizens of Chinese origin. The AmericanChinese, many of whom are related to the ,refugees or who once immigrated themselves, asked the senator to help the stranded refugees.

Senator Fong contacted USCC and arranged the refugees' transportation to Austria where the Chinese Cubans could be processed through a United States refugee counselling center, the Senator's spokesman said.

The Cubans who had each been sponsored by a United States citizen, 'arrived here as refugees from a Communist country rather than immigrants.

House Votes Curbs On Busing Edicts WASHINGTON (NC) - The House of Representatives has passed an anti-busing bill which would ban ,the long-distance busing of grade school students and order the nation's courts to use busing' only as a last resort for school desegregation.

Opponents of the legislation conceded defeat in advance of the vote on the bill which passed 282 to 102, but they predicted an up-hill fight in the Senate.

The Senate has never passed restrictive busing legislation, but each time it has considered the issue this year the vote has been close.

The bill has been opposed by civil r,ights and religious groups, including the U. S. Catholic Con-

Cardinal' Avers Life is God-Given Gift Euthanasia Repudiates Death with Dignity CHICAGO (NC)-There is no "death with dignity" when it means ending human suffering through euthanasia, Cardinal Terence Cooke told a convention of hospital and nursing associations. .

"Human life is a God-given gift," the archbishop of New York said in an address to the first annual American Health Congress here.'

"If there is to be any death with dignity," said Cardinal Cooke, "every person's right to life must be respected." But in our technological society, there is a tendency to see man only for what he produces and to overlook the source of his dignity, the Cardinal said.

Man's dignity comes from "the fact that he is made in the image of God and that, from the moment of conception to the moment of death, he is worthy of. the full support of the .human family of which he is a member," Cardinal Cooke said.

Cardinal Cooke told the health congress that the current interest in euthanasia is related to recent "remarkable advances" in the field of medical science.

Car~linal Cooke pointed out that refined medical skills and technical advancements have aided in the control of fatal diseases and in the lengthening of life.

He also noted that because of such advances, the possibilities increase that a person may die from some long-term illness as heart disease or cancer.

"Nevertheless," said Cardinal Cooke, "we cannot overlook the fact that the continuing progress of medical science and technology offers to patients so afflicted the hope of newly discovered cures.

"Furthermore, prolonged treatment of the dying patient immeaJ

surably aids the medical profession to comprehend and hope-' fully one day conquer presently inc~rable diseases." .

There is a responsibility on the part of all mankind "to insure that there is dignity both in living and in dying," he said.

"It goes without saying that if the patient desires extraordinary medical procedures, they should not be denied him.

And, of course, in no case would

it be justifiable to withhold ordinary medical procedures from any patient," Cardinal Cooke said.

"Real 'death with dignity' respects each individual as he approaches death. It provides that he be subjected to no unnecessary procedures. It allows for alleviation of his pain. It gives to him the opportunity to put his house in order spiritually and temporally and to be at peace."

Cash Assistance Assistance, both in the form of housing subsidies, food stamps and'cash, should be provided by the government to raise each household above the poverty level, the archbishop said.

But, "in keeping with the American idea of bUilding a sense of self - determination among路 the poor, I would publicly favor. direct cash assistance, rather than in-kind assistance, since this would provide greater freedom of choice to the individual, and consequently, a greater sense of dignity," he noted.

The archbishop also called for a better educational system for the poor, increased minority participation in the media, and an end to the "scandalous indignity" of suburban opposition to low and middle-income housing "which restricts the poor to the cities."

Increased numbers of jobs through more private industry investment, sensitivity training for public servants, and a reduction in the cost of public utilities for the elderly would also helplighten the burden of the poor, he added.

Labor Unions' Influence In Elections Is Limited George Meany's curmudgeon-like decision to sit· out the 1972 Presidential campaign-and to say, in effect, "a plague on both your houses"-has led to a spate of fairto middling articles', editorials and columns in the general press on the subject of labor~ issues and not merely with and-politics.

of political action can easily be rxaggerated. That is to say what the AFL-CIO, as a lossely knit federation of autonomous unions, does or does not do in the political arena between now and Nov. 7 will have only a limited bearing on the outcome_ of the election. Moreover, labor's, role in the field of political action doesn't even come close to being the most important challenge facing the movement at the present time.

A recent sociological study, based on U. S. and Canadian data, on the ways in which younger' workers differ from their elders, comes to this con· clusion: "the experience of the (younger) worker in the union has .. stressful Evidently he has little respect for the oldtime u'nion leaders; he has not experienced the early battles fought by the unions and which made their reputations, nor does he respect very much, the values so important to them, such as loyalty and' hard work.

"Instead, he is likely to apply the bureaucratic standards he has internalized with his longer schooling, valuing the rationally competent and technologically knowledgeable man. He, himself, probably has these skills and feels himself more competent than his union leader. Furthermore, he is not satisfied with the goals which the older leader brings to collective bargaining.

Ecumenical Coalition Coordinates Appalachia Anti.Poverty Effort NASHVILLE (NC) - In its seven years of existence, the Commission on Religion in Appalachia (CORA) has initiated relatively few programs, but then its leaders say that this is just the way it should be. , CORA, a Nashville-based organization sponsored by Catholic and Protestant churches in Appalachia, was designed to advise its members and coordinate their anti-poverty efforts, rather than initiate programs.

The ecumenical coalition, established in 1965 "fter nine years of planning, is designed to "develop a united approach to the Church's concern for alleviating ,poverty and creating community in the 13-state Appalachian mountain region," explained the Rev. Max Glenn, the organization's director and a Christian Church minister.

'Real Breakthrough' Many of the organization's members have shunned all ecumenical contact in the past, Mr. Glenn explained. "In this sense, CORA is a real breakthrough," he noted.

To achieve CORA's two main goals-combating poverty and creating a sense of community among the poor and representatives of all faiths-the organization has purposely been kept small and closely tied to the' grassroots.

Regional programs are built out of local projects where poor people plan and implement the efforts that will help them the most. , Collegiate staffers, loaned from staffs of member churches, work with special task forces and denominational caucuses to d.iscover the real needs of the poor and powerless people in neglected communities within Appalachia.

In the past, separate churches

have gone into Appalachia and contributed funds and manpower to help the people.. a spokesman for the National Catholic Rural Life Conference explained.

CORA is how trying to get these denominations together to eliminate the overlapping waste, of these funds, he added.

Eliminute Waste "If several churches can, finance small' medical clinics, why not team up and pool funds for a large in-depth medical program?" he said. .

Ideally, .the Rural Life s~okesman contmued,. CORA ~Ill ?ecome a c?nsultmg orga~lza~lOn where anti-poverty orgam~atlOns can che~k to be sure their program Will get to the heart of the pe~ple's n~eds..

COR~ l~, an .mst:ument of the commumty, said Director Glenn.

"We are trying to find a table around which the 17 communities can meet for planning and cooperation."

Mission Renewal As a result of this ecumenical contact; CORA has initiated some programs 'of its own. The Appalachian Development Fund has been established to raise and distribute funds to local Appalachian self-help groups. The groups form and operate community-owned and based bu~i­ nesses, associations and cooperatives that work to alleviate the economic, occupational and educational disadvantages of the area.

I Now sponsored with Appalachian Development funds are a local wood industry, a feeder pig cooperative, handicraft production and marketing, housing projects, and other agricultural and financial enterprises. The Fund also supplies financial backing to manpower training.

Another CORA initiated program is the Appalachian Mission Renewal Project. Under this program, each member communion jointly analyzes its involvement in Appalachia: Is it best serving the people's needs? Is it serving the purpose for which it was de' signed?

After reviewing the Church's separate commitments in Appalachia, the project seeks to estab~ lish joint strategy planning for a more effective mission in the ~egion.

Expresses Concern Over Expulsions

PROTEST: Archbishop Joseph Raya of Akka ordered all Me1kite Rite churches closed to protest Israeli government refusal to allow Arab Christians to re.turn to northern frontier villages.

UTRECHT (NC) - The Rev. Eugene Carson Blake, secretary general of the World Council G f Churches (WCC), has expressed to Ugandan President Idi Amin "great concern" over Amin's decision to expel 80,000 persons of Asian descent from Uganda.

In a telegram to Amin, Dr. Blake here in The Netherlands for a' meeting of the WC·C central Committee, said: "I feel obliged to call upon you, to consider the profound human consequences such a decree may ,have for those affected."

Amin has given the 50,000 Asians in Uganda who have or are eligible for British passports and about 30,000 others with noh-British passports 90 days to leave the country. He has claimed that the Asians, who largely control Uganda's priV[lle commerce "are sabotaging the economy of Uganda."

"We must reverence all of human life," the priest empha· sized, noting that the Church has been passionate in its reverence for life before birth, but sometimes less than passionate about life after birth, citing civil rights, prison reform and the Vietnam War as areas of "irreverence."

Also irreverent, he continued, is the tendency in America to restrict communities, to exclude the elderly, minorities and other groups, thus "denying to ourselves the very thing that makes us human.'"

A member of the faculty at St. Columban's seminary, Milton and also at St. John's seminary, Brighton, he will serve as vice chairman of the committee set up , to plan the continuation of the society.

The committee will draft constitution, seek additional members, publish a newsletter, and explore the idea of launching a scholarly journal.

An ecumenical organization, the new society proposes to "promote the scholarly study of theological, historical, social and practical questions relating to the missionary dimension of the Christian Church~" After receiving his degree in th~ology from the Gregorian University in Rome in 1963, Father Wodarz, a native of Cushing.

Minn. served as a Columban missioner in the Philippines for six years. From 1964 to 1967, he taught at Christ the King College ,in Gingoog City, P. I. Now 35, he has been assigned to hi~ present post since 1970.

Devoted exclusively to the foreign missions of the Church, the Columban Fathers now number more than 1,000. They staff mis· sion parishes and schools, oper· ate chinics and hospitals, and direct self-help projects of various kinds in seven nations of the Far East and Latin America.

Preaching at a concelebrated Mass at the 90th Supreme Council meeting of the Knights of Columbus, Bishop William J. Smith, retired Ordinary of Pembroke, Ont., rapped those who feel that the Second Vatican Council has made the Church a democracy.

He told the of K of C that the structural changes brought about by the Vatican Council are evidences of "collegiality" and of "decentralization," but that " the Church is not a democracy . . . . The Church does not come from below, from elections, from votes or fro~ majorities; its power comes from above."

"Like a wise mother the Church studies her growing children," said Bishop Smith. "She will consult them, yes, but she will make the decisions." .

Hails Activity Of African Laity

River-:'Thurs. Auri. 24, 1972

"Someone " The. New England Regional Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Congress in' Amherst has brought together a notable program for the benefit of those involved in this most critical work of the religious education of. people.

The Congress is certain to have a wide-ranging Impact.

But the most remarkable thing about the Congress is the fact that so many persons are willing to give their' time and effort in a dedicated way to makirig God better known and served by His children of all ages.

The work of the individual 'participants in CCD programs is little noticed. People so easily take it for granted . that "someone" is telling their children about the. things - of God, "someone" is putting on programs for the further religious deepening of adults, "someone" is doing this vital work of giving people better reasons for the. faith . that is in' them.. . All too seldom is there much reflection on who the "someone" is. .

The "someone" is the next-door neighbor who has just as much or jlist as little time as anyone else in the community. The "someone" is the. working father who has already more than enough to occupy his attentIon. The ~'someone" is the one sitting nearby in a pew .on a Sunday morning. But the "someone" has a difference-an awareness that Christ calls on each one of those bearing His name to le~rn and live the faith and to enable others to do this better as well. .

The "someone" in the CCD program is the one who is the quiet worker for God. And in this he, she, is the glory of that program and the guarantee of God's blessings upon it.

Change of Attack Once again in Europe' the Communists are feeling the" strong winds of religious sentiment and are shifting their ground in facing it. , There has been of late a strong outbreak in religious spirit in Lithuania. The same spirit has been breaking out in Russia itself and in other countries of Easter.n Europe.

It has been fostered by the young and the' intellectuals as well as found among the working people. And indications are that there is concern about it and about the way the Communists have peen trying to contain it. _. A Russian language Lithuanian newspaper has just published a lengthy article warning the party faithful of the "irreparable damage" that could be done if believers are antagonized by crude and anti-religious methods of propaganda. Apparently these methods have been tried and· have backfired. Younger people and college students and professors have only had their religious appetites whetted by the ridicule and vituperation directed against God and the things of God by the old-time communist antireligious line. Indeed, the very heavyhandedness of. the propaganda has made them curious-one does not attack a minor adversary with a major artillery barrage.

The Reds .are especially concerned 'that the official government not take administrative action, in other words, not be too obvious- in their attacks. There is concern that the Catholic Church is updating herself in the light of Vatican Council II and particularly in the field of liturgy and in sermons which make religion more relevant to the present lives of the people.

The Communist cause must be hurting both inside . and outside the U.S.S..R. for there to be a public admission of the gains religion is making and a public admonition that the atheist counterattack must be of a more subtle variety -than has heretofore been used.

KAMPALA (NC)-A papal letter hailed the growing activity of the Catholic laity in Africa but at the same time warned that "an apostolic action of the laity cannot be carried out effectually if it is not in strict and permanent communion with the bishops "and if there is not "a trusting and brotherly exchange with their collaborators, the priests and Religious."

"The voice of Africa must, in fact, .make itself heard" in order to give a world dimension to the apostolate Of the laity and to their service for the entire human family, the letter said.'

It was written in Pope Paul's name by Cardinal Jean Villot, the papal secretary of state, and sent to Cardinal Paul Zoungrana of Ouagadougou, Upper Volta, president of the Symposium of the Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar, which made it impossible for the meeting to be· held in that country.

It also alluded to the first PanAfrican meeting of Catholic laity at Accra, Ghana, last year.

Since that meeting, the· letter said, "dedicated laymen are at work in all of Africa to insure that the experience of Accra will not remain an end in itself but represents a beginning."

Chicago Clergy Organize Effort ,Against Abortion

THE ANCHORThurs., Aug. 24, 1972 P

CHICAGO (NC)-Pricsts, until now largely outsiders in organized anti-abortion efforts, now have a group of their ownClergy Concerned for Life (CCL).

CCL is now a local Chicago group but Father William J. Cogan, one of its founders, hopes to motivate clergymen around the country to fight liberalized abortion laws.

"When I was with the Illinois Right to Life committee, I had to stay in the background," Father Cogan told NC News. "As a Catholic priest, I was an embarrassment to them because my presence made the anti-abortion campaign seem too much like strictly a 'Catholic' thing. But it's not just Cathoilic. Clergymen of all faiths are concerned about abortion."

So Father Cogan and Father John Haas, an Episcopalian priest, got together six months ago and founded the CCL. It hrought an immediate response from Chicago area clergy. Its 65 members include representatives from the Greek Orthodox and Serbian Orthodox communities, Lutherans, Episcopalian, Wesleyans, conservative and orthodox Jews, the Salvation Army, and Ukrainian Catholics and Roman Catholics.

There are five women ,in the group: a Lutheran deaconess, a Salvation Army captain, and three Catholic nuns. Asked about the nuns, Father Cogan pmiled, '~It's always a problem trying to define who is a member of the 'clergy'. So we hit upon a simple expedient. Whoever qualifies for a clergy railway pass can become a member of CCL."

TESTIMONIAL HONORS RETIRED PASTOR: Principals at the testimonial attended by more than 300 parishioners and friends of Rev. Arthur C. dos Reis, second right, on the occasion of his retirement after 46 years in the priesthood and pastor of Santo Christo Parish Fall River for the past 12 years were: Judge Milton Silva, master of ceremonies; Bisho~ Cronin, who spoke; Father dos Reis, and Rev. John C. Martins, administrator pro tern of Santo Christo Parish.

Implementing Council Creates Tensions VATICAN CITY (NC)':""Implementing the teachings of the Second Vatican Council is creating tension between some Catholic Action members and their governments in Latin America. a Pa'raguayan bishop says. .

Speaking on Vatican Radio, Bishop Ramon Pastor Bogarin Argana, president of the laity department of the Latin American路 Bishops' E:ouncil' (CELAM), .said that some governments resent lay leaders who demand better

social conditions for poor peasants.

The bishop said that peasants, made aware of the council's teaching that every man has a right to be respected as a person and to develop to his potential, then demand social reforms.

"Some governments are very suspicious of certain attitudes and oppositions in the sociopolitical field because they think the Church, is entering" politics, the bishop said.

Primary Go'll Why does the CCL feel the need for a special clergy organization to fight abortion? There are two clergy-sponsored or clergy-operated abortion .referral groups in Chicago. The Chicago Clergy Consultation Service is strictly "an abortion referral service," said Father Cogan.

"And recently the Chicago newspapers gave a lot of news cov~ erage to a minister's involvement in another abortion referral organization."

The CCL sees education as its primary goal. If people are given the facts about abortion, Father . Cogan feels that they will either change their attitudes or become more convinced that abortion is wrong.

"When the abortion repeal bill was up for a vote in the New York state legislature, the man who turned the vote around was Dr. (J. C.) Willke (author of Handbook on Abortion). He went the rounds, visiting each legislator individually, and showed , them pictures of aborted fetuses.

He told me afterwards that he got the same response over and over: 'I didn't realize abortion was like that!' "

Criterion The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.

Black Sister Conference Advised Not to Expect Help From Whites LOUISVILLE (NC)....,.Black peopie in America must learn to struggle for liberation without depending on help from white people, according to a speaker at the fifth annual Black Sister Conference here.

Dr. William Strickland, director of the Institute of the Black World ,in Atlanta, Ga., explained that in the past "the nature of black progress has been a function of one group contesting with another" and when the conflict was over "things got tough for us." As examples he listed the experiences of blacks in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, during Reconstruction and Depression.

"So our history has been one of temporary gains and setbacks," he said. "The lesson from that history is that we must move in an independent direction."

Strickland explained that the civil rights m.ovement and, the riots in urban black communities during the 1960s "brought us to a new era." In the new era, he said, it was discovered that blacks were able to move without dependence on white groups.

In the future, Strickland said, blacks must be involved in a "struggle for national liberation, and nothing else." He added,

"the future that stretches before us is nothing else and can be nothing else but the future we make for ourrelves."

Strickland told the delegates not to hope for help from a white President. It would be impossible, he said, for any president to make the fundamental changes in society that are necessary and "for that white president to continue to rule."

Strickland said black people "must clean up black America to wage a successful struggle."

Internal problems that have to be overcome, he said, are drugs, "being super cool," and young blacks imitating entertainment media characters..

Order Holds First U. S. Meeting BATON "ROUGE (NC) - In a unique event in the 325-year history of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Bourg, the general chapter of the congregation was held in the United States.

The chapter normally meets every four years at the motherhouse of the congregation in Bourg; France. This year the meeting was held at St. Joseph Academy here in Louisiana.

"This suspicion on the part of the governments," the bishop said, "is certainly contributed to by a preconciliar concept of the Church in which certain governments would minimize the rightful role of the Church."

The tension can be lessened by dialogue, the bishop continued, pointing out that some governments have already started discussions with lay leaders and the bishops.

"However, other governments want no part of dialogue" with the Church, the bishop said.

The prelate is bishop of the Paraguayan diocese of San Juan De Las Missiones and is also president of the Paraguayan Bishops' Conference.

He was among the first to protest the conditions of political prisoners in Paraguay and the economic and social poli<;ies of the dictatorship of Gen. Alfredo Stroessner, which he considered harmful to the poor.

In May, the Paraguayan bishops denounced "the systematic persecution of the Church" by the Stroessner regime and last December they condemned government repression of Catholic farmworkers' organizations.

Score Statement On Abortion WASHINGTON (NC) - The Washington Evening Star in an editorial has accused Cardinal Patrick O'Boyle of making a wild assertion when he linked local abortion regulations with genocide.

"There is nothing to suggest that the American public would tolerate anything so monstrous, and anyone who spreads the fantasy around is doing a disservice to his own cause and to that of the truth," the Star said.

The Star editorial "Crying Genocide" was in response to a sermon given by Cardinal O'Boyle. He accused District of Columbia officials of promoting genocide through new abortion regulations .

In his sermon, the Washington archbishop 'Said "in a city that is 71 per cent black and that includes a measurable amount of poor people, no one can ignore the implications of genocide."

The Star countered: "This wasn't saying, flat out, that legal abortion here is a c~lcu颅 lated' way of decimating the black race, but it was playing upon that delusion."

The editorial said that "few black Americans are afflicted with this morbid idea which is supported by no shred of 'credible evidence." The editorial argued that black women are not the only ones taking advantage ofthe new regulations.

"Though the morality and wisdom of abortion will be hotly debated for years to come, anyone who injects genocide into the argument takes on a heavy burden of proof," the Star said.

Free Will Fact Of Man's Make-up CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) A dramatie fact in the make-up of man is that he is free to do good or evil, Pope Paul VI told a general audience at his Summer residence here.

The Pope, who has used his Summer weekly audiences to discuss various aspects of man's moral actions, concentrated on the idea that man is free in his latest talk.

"We are free," the Pope said.

"We are free to do good. This is understood. But also we are free and capable of doing what is not good. It is dramatic, but that is the way it is."

The Pope has been using his weekly gE:neral audiences here to discuss various aspects of man's moral actions.

Yet if we venture into this type of clothing now, then by midwinter we can't stand our woolens. r

Ecumenical practice' 'Of Blessing Couple MACAO (NC)-Non-Christian Japanese honeymooners are ·starting to stop off here to have their civil marriages blessed before the altar of a Catholic church-an ecumenical ceremony increasingly practiced in Japan.

The second such- formal ceremony conducted here took place recently in the bishop's chapel when Father Lancelot Rodriquez blessed the marriage of Miriko Sanjo, a television star, and Takayuki Fukushima, an industrialist. The couple had been accompanied from Japan by a wedding party of 83 friends and relatives and a priest from Tokyo who was the "spiritual liaison."

"To receive the blessing of God is to live in peace and love," the couple said.

Precedent was set last October . when Bishop Paulo Tavares of Macao at the request of Bishop Paul Shinichia Itonoga. of Kagoshima, Japan, gave permission for the first such blessing cerem?ny to be conducted in Macao.

I was discussing the popularity of knits with a friend of mine who runs a dress' shop and he reaffirmed my opinion on them, also noting that knits are now coming out in a greater range of shades and styles than ever before.

Senior Citizens ,in Swing ,,,,'1

While we were discussing. the knits. and the more mature woman buyer I noticed some lovely basic outfits that he had'in shades' of red . onion (this is a rich maroon tone) and a whole rack, of knitted coordinates in a clear, deep blue shade. The latter' knits were mostly pant outfits and overblouses but even the Senior Citizens have found out how neat these pant outfits can look.

Knits could be the answer to your late summ'er clothing slump and you even possibly' could find some outfits on the sales racks that only need a hemming' to give them an up-to-date look. If your hubby 'objects to a new shopping spree before the cold weat!).er is even here remind him that a new outfit'is cheaper than a psychiatrist and much more pleasant.

Archbishop Comments On 'Weeping Statue' NEW ORLEANS (NC)-In response to the interest generated by the "Weeping Statue" of the Blessed Virgin, Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Orleans wrote, "There's' 'no reason for surprise that the power of God can perform a miracle." , "The universe and we are His creation, We know from Scrip~ tures that God in His mercy worked many miracles. Our faith as Christians rests on the miracle of Christ's resurrection from the dead," he wrote in his weekly column "The Archbishop Speaks."

In the 'column, which appears in the archdiocesan newspaper the Clarion Herald, he added, "The Church has made no declaration on the miraculous or nonmiraculous nature of the tears of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima, I see no great need for a. declara~ tion on this." , "The important point," Archbishop Hannan continued, "is that we do what the will of Christ is for us at this time. It isn't necessary for us to argue and wonder about whether Christ has' given us another indication of what His law 'is for us through the message of a miracle."

Maine. 'Paper Presents Humorous Words .. Of Liturgical Advice' PORTLAND (NC)-The liturgica.l Kiss of Peace has become the Handshake of Peace, but some Catholics are still uneasy abollt the practice.

The Church World; the diocei~an newspaper here,' has some words of humorous advice: (The following are eight sug. gestions for shaking hands in church, reprinted from "The Church World," newspaper of -the Diocese of Portland, Me.) 'It is permitted to keep your gloves on for handshake if your han:ls are dirty, wet or bleeding profusely.

If there are only two of you in church who feel like shaking hands-please go to a neutral corner.

If nobody wants to shake hands with you, you may shake hands with yourself-but first lay down your missalette. It is .hetter not to greet yourself at this time. People are already stadng at you.

If you happen to 'be situated next to a former spouse, former cellmate, or an income tax examiner·-it is advisable to omit the handshake and all reference to peace or war.

If some eager handshaker has interrupted your devotional me- . ditation, arid you cannot recall the proper ~esponse, you may reply to his "Peace" greeting with' a standard phrase, such as "I never het with a stranger."

It is perfectly proper to maintain a death-grip on your purse or wallet when confronted by an .especially aggressive handshaker. His confederate could be quietly lifting yout property while you 'are distra~ted. This i destroys peace.

If you should have ~he miisfortune to attempt to handshake with an aggressive Conservative Catholic and receive a quick punch in the nose, please do not remain hleeding and ,moaning in the pews. Report im~ediately to the Liturgy Committee to obtain a list of qualified oral and plastic surgeons-at no charge.

If you wish to shake hands with more than one neighbor, it, is proper first to announce your political affiliation and office you are running for.

Dialogue Moving Into New Phase,

Thurs., Aug. 24, 1-972

Premature Baby' Photos Shown To Republicans MIAMI BEACH (NC)-A 19year:old student used grim color photographs and a premature baby to illustrate his opposition to abortion in testimony before -Republican platform writers here.

James 'Condit, Jr., showed 'members of a platform subcommittee pictures of dismembered fetuses and' of a hospital trash barrel filled with aborted,babies.

The pictures were so vivid, several subcommittee members . looked away.

As 'Condit testified, Marcus Richardson, born prematurely at â&#x20AC;˘ 20 weeks, sucked on a bottle as he sat in his mother's lap. ' "hi New York, Marcus could have been killed for another four weeks," said Condit, pointing out that abortions may be performed under New York law up to 24 weeks.

"If Marcus were a bit older, he would tell you that you could say the word that could be the beginning of the end for legalized abortion in America," Condit said. "He might also say to us, 'whyare you sitting by and watching them kill all of myall of your-little unborn brothe,rs and sisters?' " Condit, a student at Xavier -OVEREAGER PILGRIM: A policeman took away a girl who had eagerly reached out University in Cincinnati, held the attention of subcommittee mem- to take the hand of Pope Paul V][ as he returned to his summer residence at, Castelganbers as he described in detail the dolfo, Italy.

VATICAN (NC)-Catholic and Lutheran authorities are moving into' a third phase of their sevenyear-old dialogue on Christian unit~ , A new joint. study group, the name of which has not yet been announced, will meet for the first time in March, though the siteof the meeting has not yet been fixed.

The new group will evaluate work accomplished by its two predecessors, the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Working Group that met in 1965 and 1966, and the International Study Committee that met during the following five years.

The new group will also map future forms of collaboration and dialogue, and wi,ll coordinate work to be carried out in common by the two confessions.

Original1y the new group was to have met in October, but pres,sure of other business prevented both sides from preparing for it.

A five-month delay was agreed upon this summer at a meeting in Geneva between officials of the Lutheran World Federation and the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

Four Missouri Dioceses Join '73 Crusade ST. LOUIS (NC) - The four Catholic dioceses of Missouri have decided to participate in Key '73, a year-long evangelism crusade that will involve Catholic and Protestant churches throughout North America.

The crusade can result in it "spiritual reawakening" and a "renewal of apostolic zeal," Msgr. Joseph W. Baker told the St. Louis Review, the archdiocesan newspaper here.

"It seems very much on the order of what Pope John asked for at the Second Vatican Council-a rekindling of the Spirit in the members of the Church," Msgr. Baker said.

The priest, state coordinator for Key '73, said that while the program originated with Protestant fundamentalist denominations, "it can be adapted to a tremenously broad spectrum" of churches.

Some of the more theologically" liberal Protestant churches have joined the fundamentalist churches in Key '73. At their meeting last April, the Catholic. bishops of the United States heard a report which suggested participation in Key '73 on a local level.

Cardinal Flahiff' Urges Religious Provide A Taste of Eternity'

ter, first to be held at Cincinnati since 1929, when the federation of Mercy Sisters was formed, were consecration and holiness.

Father J. Bryan Hehir, theology lecturer _at St. John's seminary, Brighton, Mass., and teaching fellow at Harvard Divinity School, told the Sisters: "Our challenge is to give service in human affairs, yet in the name of religious witness."

In her opening address, Sister Mary Concilia also emphasized consecrated service. Urging the Sisters to "seek an effective and creative min'istry and a Christianity with a more human face," she also counseled them to "select and choose -those needs which we shall attend to."

Founded by Catherine McAuley in 1830 at Dublin, Ireland, the Sisters of Mercy have nine U. S.provinces-Cincinnati, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, New York, Omaha, Providence, St. Louis and Scranton, Pa. The generalate of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union is at Bethesda. There are 5,600 Sisters in the federation.

A decision to hold annual general chapters and rotate them among the provinces was made at the 1971 chapter. Before that, chapters were held every six years.

"It is clear that power is flowing out' of Washington," Laurence H. Silberman, an undersecretary of Labor, told the group, "andl you and others in the country must learn to capitalize {)n this change. Because you have not done so in the past, you have a lot more to gain now."

Silberman stressed the importance of "purposeful communicating" between the Spanishspeaking community and the U. S. government, and many conference participants did their share of the communicating sometimes not so gently, at workshop sessions on specific federal programs.

Daughters of Isabella Elect New Regent CHICAGO (NC) - Mrs. Marie Heyer was elected Supreme Regent of the Daughters of Isabella during the group's international biennial convention here. She replaces Mrs. Anna C. Walsh, who served as Supreme Regent for the last eight years.

A member of the Daughters of Isabella for 27 years, Mrs. Heyer is a member of the Breese, Ill. chapter. She has served as past national level vice-regent and director, Illinois state regent, and regent of her chapter.

'U rges Stronger Church Effort Against Abortion ST. LOUIS (NC)-The Catholic Church must take a more visible role in the fight against abortion, a Johns Hopkins University teacher told a convention of lay Catholics.

Dr. Paul Cole Beach, a political scientist from the 路Baltimore University, made the remark in a talk to a joint convention here of the Catholic Central Union of America and the National Catholic Women's Union.

Abortion is not a "Catholic issue," Beach said. "In the Washtingon area I work in the fight against abortion alongside Baptists and Evangelicals, and these people tell me often that they wish that the Catholic Church was in this issue a lot more than it is."

.,

Beach said that individual Catholics have given great help in the anti-abortion fight but that the Church itself has been restrained. by fear that there would be a reaction ,if the Church became too visible in the forefront of the abortion fight.

"The Catholic Church has had a low profile," Dr. Beach said, . "and unless the Church has a very high profile in this soon, there will be no need to have any profile because the issue will have been settled in a way which we will not like."

James L. Connolly, formerly Bishop of Fall River as the principal celebrant.

Rev. Claude de Chengalour. Correspondence with Father Claude disclosed that his area's greatest need was for religious training facilities fer young people with vocations.

Apostolate to India The Sisters at St. Anne's 'agreed to include three girls from India in each group entering their Dighton novitiate. The first three girls enrolled under the plan were professed in 1969 and then entered training to enable them to operate a dispensary in India.

To get a clearer picture of the Indian situation, Sister Ascension, accompanied by Sister Mary Patricia, veteran of 12 years hospital service in Baghdad, made a two-week inspection tour of Kerala State in India. Sr. Mary Patricia is now in Kerala directing the community's care for the sick in the area.

The jubilarian was born in Cavaillon, near Avignon, France and studied at Ecole Superieure de Carpentras where she obtained Brevet Superieur. After training at Ste. Marthe School of Nursing she obtained her French State Board registration.

She entered the Sisters of the Presenta路tion in November, 1945 and made her first profession in 1947. She taught first grade at the school of Christ Roi near Tours and came to the United States 'in 1949 and served on the staff of S1. Ann'e's Hospital, Fall River.

Sister has a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Boston College and served as a clinical instructor at St. Anne's Hospital for many years.

Taiwan Land Reform'Model' TAOYUAN (NC)-The Land Reform Training Institute here, about 20 miles south of Taipei, is an example of Chinese-American cooperation in a project to assist developing nations.

In the three years since its establishment more than 350 trainees from 15 countries, mostly in Asia, have participated either in the bi-annual two-month regular sessions or the periodic two-week short term training courses of the institute.

In September, 1968 'the John C. Lincoln Institute, University of Hartford, Conn., and the Council for International Economic Cooperation and Development in Taiwan signed an agreement to set up a training program in land reform for the developing nations of Asia. The needs in these countries for trained personnel in land reform motivated the agreem~nt.

Taiwan is judged an excellent location for land reform training both because of its central position in the region and because of its successfully completed land reform program.

"The farmers here are better off than they ever were," said Bishop William Kupfer of Taichung. "The land reformers seem to have had the gOQd of . the people at heart."

The 63-year-old Maryknoll l;lishop from Brooklyn, N.Y., has been here since 1951. His diocese is situated in a lush farming area of central Taiwan.

Fall Care of Lawn Essential For Yard/s Spring Lustre

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick With the cooler weather we have been having of late, it is becoming less of a chore to get out into the garden and do some necessary work. At this time of the year I seem to have a let-down in my enthusiasm for the garden; weeds begin to appear, the grass is more difficult to get facilities with such regularity to and the whole prospect of that you'll be able to drive the route blinfolded. work is less and less desirSummer does appear to be the

able. 'But the cool weather is enough to draw me into the garden again and to induce me to do the major jobs that have to be done.

One. of the biggest tasks is to prepare the lawn for the winter , and the following Spring. This means a reseeding. In order to keep a lawn healthy it is almost mandatory to reseed it each fall.

This does not mean a full seeding, but rather, spot seeding where :it is necessary.. This is a great deal of work but it does produce a healthy and productive lawn.

Fall Weeding I begin by cutting the lawn closer and closer as the cool weather starts to seL in during late August and early September.

Then I spend some time weeding the lawn, that is pullling out all the weeds that have managed to take hold during the summer. A . series of rakings then follow which consists in using a steel . rake an'd digging in considerably to get out all the thatch and poorly rooted clumps of grass.

This is a difficult job' and I· am always amazed at the volume of dead grass and thatch that I can pull out of the lawn.

The next step is to ):>roadcast seed over the entire lawn and to let the grass grow again to a more reasonable height, approximately two inche's in order to shade the new seed. Constant watering is necessary once the seed has been sown and I do this by.watering early in the morning and late in the afternoon. These two waterings are sufficient to keep the seed moist and to allow it to sprout. .

This is all time-consuming but it does produce a good lawn by replacing worn-out clur.lps 'of grass and starting a new batch of seed. It is not as exhausting as replacing the whole lawn but it is sufficient to reinvigorate an already existing law,n.

Justice, .Sharin'9 Needed On Limited Planet Ea·rth These lines are being written on the day the first United Nations Conference on the Human -Environment comes to an end-June 17,1972. The Conference has lasted for just under two weeks at Stockholm. It brought together 114 governments from every race, culture, region and ide- one point. Ultimately there is not enough to go round. It is ology. It is true that the simply impossible for world popRussians did not attend be- ulation, 'world. consumption of non-renewable resources and world pollution to go on increasing at geometrical or "exponenNal" rates.

World Population .

By BARBARA WARD

cause East Germany was not admitted, Poland and Czechoslovakia also stayed away. But the Chinese and Communist quarter of the human race were well represented. So were Romania and Yugoslavia. The coverage was wide enough to be called truly global.

No one can begin to tell the whole truth about any Conference, least of all about one as various and unpredictable and exciting as the Stockholm Conference. But two impressions do emerge very strongly and they are both relevant to the insistence in the Synodal Document, Justice in the World, on the "right to development."

The first was the realization that most of our assumptions, particularly in the last 25 years, have been based on the idea that resources are virtually limitless and however much the rich and fort!lnate and powerful may spend - and waste - there will always be enough to go around.

The second impression was the· passionate desire of citizens to participate in the Conference and not leave everything to the deliberations, always lengthy and sometimes duB, of delegations representing sovereign governments.

Look at Future Let us take 'l look at the first point - the possibility that resources may not be infinite.

When four years ago, the idea of a United Nations Conference on Human Environment was first broached-by the Swedes-no one had an idea that this theme might become so vital.

The - COncern was rather with pollution in the oceans, sewage and fertilizer run-offs in lakes and rivers and the increase of carbon dioxide in the air as a result of burning so much fossil fuel, above all, petroleum. Governments would have to get together and reach an agreement on abating these nuisances.

Otherwise the cumluative action of all of them might make Inter. national airs and waterways hazardous to man.

But since that time-and ai. though the year was only 1968, it now seems distant-a great many economists and engineers and physicists and demographers have been using equations and computers to look at the future. Although they all differ in their exact measurements and in the years they choose for ultimate disaster t.hey all agree on

The simplest example of this impossibility is, say, water hyacinths growing on a lake or reservoir and using up its essential oxygen. Plants with this degree of vegetable vigor grow by multiplication, not addition. The series is 2-4-8-16 and so on. If you stop them early on, while they are in the eight to sixteen phase, you can hope for success. But if you leave them, they forge on to the 64 to.128 or 128 to 256 stage in doubling time. The pond may be suffocated before action has been effective.

In world population, the present 2.5 per cent rate of increase could ensure that just over a hundred years from now, a billion extra people could arrive each year. Yet it took over 100,000 years to produce the first billion. No planet could carry a billion extra people a year all demanding American standards or cars, houses and electricity.

All this is a very specific way of illustrating that the human species has to limit its numbers and demands within, probably, the. next 20 years.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thul·s. Aug. 24, 1972

'Good Conscience' Procedure Viewed NEW ORLEANS (NC) - The "good conscience" procedure for remarried Catholics is viewed sympathetically by at least one high Vatican official, according to a New Orleans archdiocesan official.

Father L. Earl Gauthreaux, head of tht archdiocesan trihunal here, said that the expression of sympathy came in a conversation he and several other U. S.officials had with Cardinal Dino Staffa of the Signatura, a high church court in Rome.

Father Gauthreaux stressed that Cardinal Staffa did not intend his remarks to be an official statement and that the "good· conscience" procedure came under discussion only incidentally during a question and answer session with the cardinal.

"Oardinal Staffa· explained, speaking as an individual, not as an official voice of the Signatui'a, that there was room in the Church for the 'good conscience' process," said Father Gauthreaux.

The "good conscience" process is usually called an "internal

forum" case in Europe and elsewhere, Father Gauthreaux said.

In internal forum cases, at least one party to a marriage is convinced that the first marriage is· invalid, even though he cannot produce proof acceptable in a marriage tr~bunal.

The crucial point in these cases is that here is a conviction by a person in a second marriage that the first marriage is invalid.

"But of course, the 'good conscience' process is not a new idea, it has been around since the Middle Ages," Father Gauthreaux added. "There has always been room in the Church," he said, "for a person living in a second marriage to return to the sacraments without necessarily having the first marriage declared null and void by a Church court."

A recent announcement of the Baton Rouge diocese, however, caused widespread comment on the good conscience procedure.

Under the procedure announced in Baton Rouge remarried Oath-

olics who believe in good conscience that ~heir first marriage was invalid would be allowed to return to the sacraments even though no official ruling had been issued on the validity of the marri'age.

F'ather Gauthreaux was one of 30 priests from U. S. diocesan curias who spent time visiting and talking with Vatican curia officials and touring curia offices recently.

Urged t'o Welcome Uganda Asians LONDON (NC)-British Catholics were urged not only to accept but also to welcome and help the estimated 40,000 Asians now threatened with expulsion

by Uganda.

The Asians, who hold British passports but had settled in Uganda-a former British territory - were ordered to leave within the next three months by Uganda President Idi Amin Dada.

He said they should be taken in

by Britain.

Justice, Fair Shares But who is to stop? The small Uargely white post-Christian Western elite who now have 80 per cent of the world's wealth?

Or the other two thirds, most of whom still suffer from the worst of all environmental evils -squalor and destitution in the world's rundown farms and slums? .

Whatever the organizers of the United Nations Conference may have planned for the discussions, non-governmental delegations and professional associations who had turned up because they regard the survival" of Planet Earth as their major concern, were not simply content to discuss sewage treatment plants and making detergents "bio-degradable."

They wanted to talk about justice and fair shar·es. They wanted to proclaim the "right of development" of the poorest of earth's citizens. And they wanted to do so all the more forcefully because they are beginning to know that, in any but the. short run, the planet is limited and justice and sharing have to be achieved.

KNOW YOUR· Singles That Swing to. Justice Singles arc swinging to justice causes all over our land. They marched as a peace corps. They occupy the front ranks of the new politicis, struggle for women's lib'eration, slug it out on civil rights, take up social work with the seriousness of a knight journeying in search of the Holy Grail. They brighten up Nader's Raiders and communicate hopeand optimism to the oppressed.

But there is a melancholy strain getting more noticeable.

The peace corps glamor has subsided. Recruits come with less frequency and abandon. The young lawyers ache under the new bureaucracy they have cre~ ated. The repudiation from racial minorities at home and developing countries abroad threaten to cause the singles to stop swinging for justice.

While social causes can reduce the singles motivation to search for justice, spiritual causes are more critical. Compare the once

astonishing missionary zeal of young religious who unreservedly offered the.ir entire lives for the be'nefit of people around the globe. They readily took on the discomforts and' deprivation of family and friends in order to live out their hopes for the people to whom they ministered.

Frustrated Ideals The spiritual vacuum causes our young to abandon the prized projects, for nothing less than God can lay claim to the whole heart anrd soul of our young.

When it is clear that God calls them to a life of absolute service to others, then there is, released the kind of long range de4ication to people that produces results in their favor.

In John's gospel there is the story of Jesus describing himself as the Living Bread. "The man who feeds on this bread shall live forever." Here is the wey to the puzzle about frustrated ideals.

The Living Bread of God will cause blazing idealism. .Any other motivation, for the most part, seems to cause a sudden enthusiasm and an equally sudden death of the flame.

BY DR. LAWRENCE LOSONCY

Sociologists have long observed the American parish as, a phenomenon of deep 'significance.

Although many people are deeply suspicious of mixing sociology with religion, sociologists have for the last twenty years made' great contributions to our understanding of parish life and parish communities. One of the most famous of a group of deeply religious sociologists to address the sociology of parishes is Father Joseph Fichter.

One of Fichter's contributions was the concept of inner and outer parish circles, developed at some length during the 1950's.

An understanding of thill simple concept can help both parish leaders and parishioners at large to better understand current parish realities.

• Every parish has a tiny little circle of inner leadership. This in:ler circle may include the pastor, his assistants or curates, viBiting clergy, perhaps a deacon, sometimes a school principal, a PARISH COMMUNITY: Every parish has its tiny circle parish council president, a chair- of leadership surrounded by other wider, yet less influential man of CCD or adult education, sometimes a chairman of the> lit- 'circles.

Living th-e Scripture Message Continued from Page Sixteen been much more concerned with what it says than how to use it as a way of life. It is easier for us to say, "Christ says, 'Love God with all your heart and your neighbor, as yourself," than for us to ask ourselves: "Because Christ says this, hoW am I to live? What is being asked of me if I choose to follow Christ?" It is really how we live from the Scriptures, not what the words in themselves mean that make us followers of Christ.

Scripture is our instruction book. Knowing the meanings of the words in any instruction book will not do anything unless we apply the instructions to the project. In this case the project is living. It is a complicated project with many phases. One cas-

chronicle is unique in that the author was acquainted with most of the Spanish explorers of the New World and was a friend of Columbus. What he wrote was based on conversations with Columbus and others, and on letters he received from participants in the 'events which he records.

His narrative is easy and unadorned. It abounds in small but significant particulars of the explorers' experience. It brings us closer to to them and to their adventures than many a more elaborate version has been able to do.

Fray Bernardino de Sahagun was charged with gathering as much information as he -could concerning the Aztec civilization of Mexico. This, of course, had been destroyed by the conquistadors, and only after its disappearance did any of the Spanish realize that a record of it should be kept. Fray Bernardino set about quizzing old people among the natives who might have some reoollection of the old ways.

Religion Prominent De Sahagun has much to say of the Aztec religion. Some of it is repugnant: for example, the lengthy description of the human sacrifice which was a central feature of the cult. But some of it is surprising. Thus, there was a practice of confession, in which

ual reading of the instruction book will not give us all we need to live it most meaningfully.

Asks Railways Pay For Theology Study STOCKHOLM (NC) - A locomotive engineer has appealed to the supreme administrative court a decision by the state railways refusing to allow him to study theology at the railways' expense.

Swedish civil servants have the legal right to ask for paid leave of absences to take further studies in their field of service.

The engineer, who wants to study for the Lutheran ministry, admitted that his request is not urgent from the railway service's point of view, but said it "can be justified from a social point of view, considering the shortage of Lutheran pastors."

a penitent approached a priest, told "his sins in the order he had committed them," and was assigned a penance.

Religion is prominent, too, in Bandelier's writing of the Indians of Titiaca and Koati. The Indians are now Catholic, but their forebears had an elaborate religion of their own, for which the islands were a center.

Brinton's investigations of the Indians of North and South America established the fact of "the unity and of the physical type throughout the continent.

The American race is physically more homogeneous than any other on the globe. There is no mistaking a group of American Indians, whether they come from Chile or from Canada, from the shores of Hudson Bay or the banks of the Amazon."

So many of the saints of the Church were once young singles that wished to swing to justice.

Francis of Assisi, the "graduate" of the Middle Ages, became a flower child and stuck to his guns. Ignatius of Loyola, the "Easy Rider" of the Renaissance, became a champion of self mastery and prayer and illumined four centuries of his brotherhood.

Vincent De Paul, the "Aquarian" of the Victorian period, shed his middle class comforts to bring real charity to the poor of Paris all the rest of his days.

All these men started as singles, the swingers of their day, but their spiritual depth gave them a life long ambition to establish justice on the earth. Their heritage is a blessing and a model.

The Jesus movement today is an encouraging sign that our young singles are discovering the missing element in their ide~lism.

They are discovering the ~read of Life, Jesus Christ, who will communicate to them the splendid enthusiasm necessary for having a reach beyond their grasp. They will discover what it is like to put one's life on the line in spite of social opposition -especially an opposition from those they strive to help. After all, even Jesus had that problem, didn't he?

Arena asked.

The growers' spokesman saw the secret ballot provision of the law simply as "ground rules for unipniz-ation by free choice of the workers" and said that the United Farm Workers union opposes the law because it "will force them to conduct themselves in the same manner as other labor organizations.

See Strong Support For Lettuce Boycott CLEVELAND (NC)-The boycott of nonunion iceberg lettuce has even more support from the churches than did the successful grape boycott of the rate 60s, according to United Farm Workers' leader Cesar Chavez.

"And we had a lot for grapes," he told the Catholic' Universe Bulletin, the dipcesan newspaper here.

Arena said that while the board pr-ocedure might delay contracts, "The worst any group would have to settle for is a contract which would go into effect at the beginning of the following season a few months I-a'ter."

State Permission Mr. Cook was sharply critical of the requirement that a state board validate an election before workers could strike.

"No other workers in the country are manipulated in this way," he said. "In fact only under the most oppressive dictatorships-and now here in Arizona-can you find anywhere in the world the stipulation that working men /!lnd women need the permission of the state in order to strike."

In response to the charges the board could be pressured to delay certification of .elections, Arena said, "I must express my confidence in the ability of the board to conduct themselves in a just land fair manner."

Arena closed his remarks with an attack on Cesar Chavez an'd his United Farm Workers Union saying that Chavez has chosen to use boycotts rather than standard organizing methods to win contracts.
