Injunctioh Bars Black Mol~tants From Church

THE ANCHORThurs., Sept. 4, 1969

Holy Cross Head To Leave Post Next June

ST. LOUIS (NC) - U.S. District Judge James H. Meredith extended to Dec. 15 an injunction barring black militants from' Central Presbyterian Church, in suburban Clayton, Mo. His action is similar to another injunction extension Meredith approved for the archdiocese of St. Louis. barring militants from St. Louis Cathedral.

In mid-July Meredith extended the cath'edral injunction to Oct. 1.

In his latest action, Meredith criticized the Black Manifesto, which calls for reparations of $3 billion from the churches to the blacks.

Ultimate Aim Meredith said these demands call "for the immediate disruption of the white churches of this country, for armed revolution and guerrilla warfare with the ultimate aim of taking government and business to be run by blacks only."

The injunction granted to Central Presbyterian Church bars the Black Liberation' Front and two militants, Ocie PastaI'd and James Rollins, from entering the church.

The church was' one of several visited by militants as part of "Black Sunday" demonstrations

by BLF and another civil rights group, ACTION. Both ACTION and BLF have been barred from St. Louis Cathedral.

Meredith said a June 15 disruption at Central Presbyterian Church showed that demonstrators "acted willfully together to harass and disturb members (of the church) in their worship services."

Protect Right The judge said the demonstrators apparently violated criminal statutes of both Missouri and the United States.

It was the opinion of the court, Meredith's decision said, that the evidence shows the existence of a conspiracy to deprive members of the church of their right to freedom of worship as guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution.

Citing a Missouri statute, which forbid,> the disruption of religious services, Meredith said its purpose "is to ensure religious freedom."

Meredith said members of Central Presbyterian Church have reason to fear continued disruptions.

"The plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law and they are entitled to injunctive relief for the purpose of protecting their right to religious worship and to the peaceful use of their . property," Meredith said.

Keeps Close Watch Over Missionary NEW DELHI (NC)-The Indian government is keeping "a close watch" on the activities of a controversial Jesuit priest who was once forced to leave this country.

Minister of State for Home Affairs V. C. Shukla told the upper house of the Indian parliament (Rajya Sabha) that the government will order the priest out of the country if he again indulges in "anti-national" activities.

The priest, Spanish-born Father Vincent Ferrer, was ordered out of India last year for alleged anti-national activities in Maharashtra state, but was allowed to return about three months later to work in Andrha Pradesh state.

WORCESTER (NC) - Fr. Raymond J. Swords, S.J., president of Holy Cross College here in Mass., has resigned effective next June 30.

Head of Holy Cross since 1960, Father Swords, at the end of his tenure, will have served a longer term than any of his 23 predecessors.

"My relatively long presfdential tenure has had its advantages and yet there could be disadvantages if it were unduly prolonged," he said. "As important as continuity is the periodic need for new vision and the new approach."

Father Swords wanted to reresign two years ago but "I was persuaded by the trustees and by my Jesuit superiors to stay."

DEDICATION OF CAPE CENTER: Bishop Connolly blesses and dedicates the new Youth and Social Center of Our Lady of the Annunciation Mission, Dennisport. Assisting the Bishop were: Rev. Finbarr M~Aloon, pastor of Holy Trinity Church West Harwich, the mother church; Rev. Philip A.路 Davignon, assistant at St. Pius X, So. Yarmouth; Rev. Bernard O'Rourke, pastor emeritus from Boston, a resident of Denriisport.

Evening College Graduates Reap Rewards Survey Reveals Success of Education Effort NEWTON (NC)-Does the evening college graduate make economic, social and cultural advancements?

That' is the starting .point question for a survey commissioned by Father James A. Woods, S.J., dean of the Boston College evening college of arts, sciences and business administration.

More than 60 per cent of the evening college's 2,400-member alumni have responded to. a 14page questionnaire.

According to the "upward mobility" survey, 63 per cent of the alumni have moved from "lower" to "upper" or "upper middle, class" social status since graduation. The Hollingshead's Social Status Index is used to determine the status of the survey's respondents.

Female Advancements While most graduates (morc than 91 per cent) are currently in the "upper" or "upper middle class" sociaT structures, only 37 per cent were in that classification before attending evening college "The move to positions of higher prestige is quite dramatic," Father Woods noted, "when one considers that on entrance to the evening college 61 per cent of the students held such jobs as salesmen, clerks, semi-skilled workers, laborers but now most graduates are in managerial positio'ns, proprietors or teachers."

He stressed that the survey also indicates that the graduates strengthened their commitment to community affairs in addition to economic gains.

Money and Status A special study was made of the professional status of women graduates. By comparison with the highly successful evening college male graduates, the women have achieved "positions of importance."

Caught-nn-Between In business, the competition will bite you if you keep running; if you stand still, they will swallow you. -Knudsen

Although few are in the category of proprietors, managers and executives, women far outnumber men graduates in professional careers of all types (84 per cent compared with 68 per cent for the men).

However, whole alumnae members are much more successful. financially than the non-college trained ',\Iomen, they fall into a much lower financial bracket than the men.

"One explanation could be the fact that many women gradu~tes are in the fields of education and social work where earning power is potentially less than in the male-dominated industries," Father Woods opined.

Graduate study, reflecting the continued development of intellectual and professional interest, was undertaken by 70 per cent of the graduates. While almost 35 per cent of the alumni have already earned graduate degrees, 15 per cent are known to be active candidates for advanced degrees.

Cites Fulfillment The evening graduates earn. "a great deal more money" than their non-college contemporarie~.

Only one per cent of the graduates earned $10,000 when they began their evening program. A majority was earning less than $5,000 before evening studies.

During the past year, however, 57 per cent earned $10,000 or

Villanova Receives $33,100 Grant VILLANOVA (NC)-Villanova University here has received an initial $33,700 federal grant from the U. S. Department of Justice, Law Enforcement Assistance Administration.

The program objective is the continual professionalization of criminal justice personnel, inservice and pre-service-police, corrections, probation, parole and courts. The program is directly related to law enforcement in criminal. justice, and is equivalent in credit hours to one year of full-time undergraduate study.

over. While six per cent of the graduates, including those who are working only part-time, indicated their salaries for the past year were under $5,000, another six per cent earned $20,000 or over.

Father Woods noted that, in addition to .developing the highest cultural and intellectual interests in its students and equipping them to master their professional goals, the evening college seeks to make its students conscious of their social and moral obligations.

The success of the graduates in fulfilling the intellectual and cultural aims of the university, the Jesuit said, "is demonstrated by their parti'cipation in the realms of literature, music, art and drama."

Sense of Values The alumni are avid readersnearly tiO per cent read at least one book a month for personal enjoyment-and 68 of them report having published books or articles during the past year.

Many play musical instruments and a considerable number have done some creative painting or other art work.

"As thoughtful, educated citizp.ns," Father Woods concluded, "they have developed a strong sense of values and state their priorities as follows: religion, education, community involvement, national and state politics and international affairs."

Seeks Signatures On Pardon Petition L'AQUILA (NC)-A priest has received permission from his archbishop to go to North America, if necessary, to get more signatures on a petition that would pardon German' Bishop Matthias Defregger for his part in the wartime reprisal executions of 17 Italians.

Father Demetrio Gianfrancesco has been trying to get as many signatures as possible from surviving realtiv~s of the men who were executed in 1944 in the nearby village of Filetto di Camarda.

The priest was reported to have already obtained 12 signatures, and it is believed that he needs five more. Some of the surviving relatives now live in the United States and Canada.

Auxiliary Bishop Defregger of Munich was a captain in a Gel'IT.an army division stationed near here during World War II. Be has said that he passed on - the order for the executions only after it was apparent that he could not prevent them. He has asked the surviving relatives for their forgiveness, but has also denied any legal and moral guilt for the killings. West German authorities have exonerated him . of any- legal guilt.

Cites 'Inequities'.

Of Pennsylvania School Aid' Law HARRISBURG

(NC)

The chairman of the House basic education sub-committee said Pennsylvania's formula for' non public school aid is "extremely inequitable," and some schools are riot getting a fair share of state funds.

Rep. Max H. Homer said he planned to ask his subcommittee to consider several alternatives aimed at assuring that financially troubled parochial schools get more aid and some private "affluent" schools less.

Homer noted that the formula contained in the 1968 nonpublic school aid law is based on the amount of money the' schools spend per pupil. The disparity results from the fact that the costs are considerably higher as reported by the private academies than those reported for the Catholic schools.

For example. the actual costs reported by private academies for instruction in mathematics, science. physi~al education and modern languages - the four subject .areas covered by the legislation-averaged $204.83 per pupil. while those in Catholic schools averaged only $22.87 per pupil.

Gives Examples Another Pennsylvania legislator, Rep. Martin P. Mullen of Philadelphia has been quoted as . attributing the disparity ill costs reported to the "outstahding honesty" of parochial school officials in fixing applications for state aid and the low pay for priests and Religious on Catholic school faculties. .

Rep. Homer cited the following as examples of what he termed inequities" in the state aid formula: Shady Side Academy in the Pittsburgh arl~a will receive $50,573 in the 1969-70 school year for 680 students, or approximately $80 per pupil,. while North Catholic High School will receive $22,167, or about $20 for each of its I,ll 7 pupils.

Similarly Penn Charter, a private prep school near Philadelphia, will receive $57,913 for 726 pupils, or more than $8'0 per pupil, while .Cardinal Dougherty, the largest parochial school in the state, will receive $57,556, about $10 per pupil for its 5,783 enrollment.

Asks Amendments Homer said he would ask the subcommittee to consider possible amendments to the nonpublic' school aid law, such as making schools with high endowments or high tuition charges ineligible for state aid.

Another possibility, Homer said, was a flat figure of $50 or $60 per pupil regardless of the school's total expenditures.

"I Jntend to have my committee study the various alternatives when the session 'resumes/ in the Fall and hopefully draft corrective amendments so that this year's inequities are not repeated next year," he said.

vcr, visited the community's heildquarters here and repeated a directive sent to religious communities a year earlier at the 'initiative of Ildebrando Cardinal Antoniutti, pref~ct of the Congregation for Religious. The main points of the directive That the Sisters should adopt a uniform habit rather than perm'itting each member of the community to choose what she will wear depending on the nature of her. work.

That the commiJitygenerally confine itself to its original apostolate, teaching, rather than engaging in a wide variety of activities.

That a fixed schedule of community spiritual activities be established for all members.

ROME (NC)-A problem that remains unsettled at the Pontifical College for the Propagation of the Faith is whether or not 10 Australian seminarians will return this Fall after having criticized their superiors for lack of communication.

No reason was given why the seminarians were asked by col· lege officials to undergo a "period of reflection" after the Summer recess began June 30. lt was believed that at least some of the 10 had returned to.

With more than. two months gone for the seminarians to "refleet,'" college officials would only say that the seminarians have not been dismissed from the college. But they would not venture to say whether the seminarians wili return.

And if they do not return, it was not made clear who· will make the decision: the Australian. bishops who sponsor the se~inarians or the seminarians themselves.

There are 46 Australian seminarians at the college, commonly known as' the Propaganda Fide College. Last Spring, 43 of them signed a letter to Gregory Cardinal Agagianian which said that Propaganda Fide superiors were out of touch with the thinking of the students. The cardinal is prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (formerly the Congrecatio-n for the Propagation of the Faith).

War Against War Philadelphia Cardinal Krol Calls for More Enlightened Way of Set,tling Conflicts PHILADELPHIA (NC) - "No greater honor can we pay to your fallen comrades and no greater service can we render to the living, than by declaring an all-out war against war," John Cardinal Krol of Philadelphia has told the Veterans of Foreign Wars here.

Peace, the Cardinal said, "is an enterprise of justice. It can not be built and maintained by violence."

While nations may legitimately provide for the common defense, he said, "if war is to be outlawed and replaced by more humane and enlightened methods of regulating ,conflict among

Fordham Appcin!ts Vice Presidents NEW YORK (NC) - Two Fordham University faculty members have been appointed to major administrative positions, effective immediately, Father Michael P. Walsh, S.J., president, announced.

nations, it will be because citizens insisted on principles of non-violent action."

"In this context," the cardinal c'Ontinued, "conscientious objection deserves the legal provisions made for it. Such provisions, now accorded to those whose reasons are grounded on total rejection of the use of military force, should be extended to make it possi~le, although not easy for so-called selective conscientious objectors."

The Philadelphia Cardinal said the latter should be excused from serving in wars they consider unjust but should be required to give some other service to the community.

Calling the arms race an "utterly treacherous trap," he told the veterans that "the strategic balance of power or terror it produces does not eliminate the threat of greater and more devastating war."

Cardinal Krol also noted: "Loyal citizens have a right and duty to raise questions for defense and less than $70 billion are allotted to civilian needs."

SAGINAW (NC) - Catholic Bishop Francis E. Reh of Saginaw told the annual Michigan Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Chu~ch here that "these are especially .difficult days for Christianity," but added that he saw no reason to be discouraged.

Speaking at Bethel A.M.E. church, the bishop, former rector of the North American College in Rome, said "we are now in need of the greatest faith and confidence - of trust in Jesus and His promises."

The largely black assembly of some 200 persons heard Bishop Reh recall Christ's repeated demands for faith and trust. He cited the Saviour's action in calming the troubled sea when His panic-stricken fishermen followers feared their ship would go down in a storm.

Bishop Rey recalled Christ's insistence on the great power of God-and noted His admonition that "everything is possible for God." He recalled, too, the insistence of Jesus that men remain .faithful to Him, stressing His words that "cut off from me you can do nothing" while those who remain faithful "may ask what you will and you shall get it."

Bishop Reh cited the promise of Christ that "nothing would be impossible" to men of faith. He recalled Christ's admonition that "I am with you always; yes to the end of time:" "The outlook is unlimited in Jesus Christ," Bishop Reh said.

Proclaiming Christ The religious education of children properly' belongs to their parents and in their own homes.' This is when~ values are absorbed, reverence for the things of God inculcated, religious patterns laid down that will be followed throughout life. This is where a spiritual foundation is built. i Unfortunately, not all parents can and will set the example and teach the lessons and provide the patterns for a wholesome and. strong' spiritual life 'for their chil~ dren. .

The burden-and the privilege:-then falls on others'.

And the truth is that the priest alone and the religiou~ alone cannot and should not be the only ones to step into the breach. ' For one thing, there are simply not enough of them to do the work. For another, they are not the only ones charged with the task of teaching by word and example the "good news" of salvation.

Each Catholic has a ministry -'is charged. with the duty of proclaiming by words and in his life the won.!. drous deeds of God. Each Catholic is, a prophet-a preach+ er of Christ and His saving ministry. Each Catholic must take seriously his mission to make Christ better known and loved by o t h e r s . ' .

Members of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine have this before their. eyes and as the reason for their labors - to proclaim Christ.

They do it as teachers in the elementary and secondary classroom with students who do not attend parochial schools. They do this nn the administrative posts associated with such parish schools of religion. They QO this as leaders and participants in discussion groups; as visitors throughout the parish. .

They are proclaiming Christ"'- by their words' and: even more importantly, by their attitudes and actions. , Parishes throughout the Diocese are now appealing to men and women to consider their part in this age o( the Church - the age of the laity. As laymen and laywomen are being invited to share the great bUl:den pf. the work of the Confrafernity of Christian Doctrine; le~ them remember that they are really being invited to share in a great privilege - to preach the "good news" of salvation.

Affecting Eternity There is a line in "The Education of Henry Adams'i that says, "A teacher affects et'ernity; he can never tell where his influence stops." , This is a sentence that many a teacher would do well to ponder as he or she sees pupils passing on. tq other grades and wonders what they have taken with them from this grade.

The late Cardinal O'Hara while president of the University of Notre Dame once told the fa'culty members there that they are rewarded by their bright students, earn their salaries with their average students and save their souls with their dull. students. But the fact is that a teacher influences all. studer-ts-one way or another. , This is a sobering. thought to any teacher and also, a source of satisfaction and encouragement. No matten what a report card may say about the pupil or the teachi er, the teacher knows that much more was accomplished than any report card <:an ever indicate. The teacher has af~, fected eternity.

Anglican Bishop George Reindorp of Guildford reported this about discussions between an Anglican team from the two dioceses of Guildford and of Chichester and a Catholic one from' the diocese of Arundel and ;Brighton, which covers路 much the same area.

The teams of six or seven oil each side have been meeting twice a year for a one-day conference for the past two years.

Bishop Reindorp in his diocesan newsletter for August said: "The following subjects have 'been discussed: the Bible as the basis for belief; what constitutes genuine tradition in the Church; the Eucharist in the light of traditiQn; the proposed AnglicanMethodist Ordinal; and the doctrine of the Eucharistic sacrifice in Scripture and the early Church.

"The procedure has been for a Roman Catholic and ,an Anglican to read papers 'on the subject for the day with' general discussion following. Owing to the fact that the membership (of the teams) has been relatively stable there has developed a' genuine friendship and an equal-

"The outcome has been a quite surprising agreement on doctrinal issues which in the past have be,en insurmountable barriers between the two churches. Even more remarkable has been the Idiscovery that sometimes the differences that have appeared. have cut across the church divisions.

"This, of course, is only' a 10cal experience and ~oo much importance must not be attached to it, but it may not be a totally insignificant straw in the wind if the w,ind is truly the wind' of the Spirit."

The meetings have taken place at the Anglican Theological College at Chichester and at St. John's Catholic seminary near Guildford. Those taking part have been theologians with the Catholic side including Benedictines as well as diocesal) priests.

Catholic' Press Asks Reforms LONDON (NC) Britain's Catholic newspapers have urged the British government in no 'uncertain terms to enforce the same equality and justice for Catholics in Northern Ireland as exists everywhere else in the United Kingdom.

The Tablet, a national weekly review, said the government as the price for its rescue act in sending troops to restore order in riot·torn Northern Ireland, "certainly must demand" of the local Protestant government in Belfast a much fairer distribution of those posts of responsibility throughout Northern Ireland that previously have not been open to the Catholic minority.

It must demand the abolition of the "B Specials"-the militant Protestan~ police reserve held in terror by many. Catholics there -and the repeal of the existing Special Powers Act allowing local police there to detain and hold suspects without a trial, the Tablet said.

Finally, the government must demand "a much more.rapid implementation of the social programs, especially distribution of housing and the fair redrawing of electoral boundaries," the weekly said.

The alternatives, the Tablet claimed, were for the British Parliament to take over the whole running of Northern Ireland-as it used to before World War I-or for the Northern Irish premier, Maj. James Chi,chester Clark, to form a coalition government including the Catholic opposition. But the Tablet did not think either of these alternatives practical at the present time.

Miss Early's Demise Blo,w To New England Co,okery

By Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

By the time this article appears the children will be back in school and the teachers will have begun to develop the neuroses that have haunted parents for th~ Summer months. All the problems parents face are pres- , ent in the' classroom but ' multiplied by thirty. As a et I would love to do an inter~ arent and a t,eacher I am view of her for my column (I P had read somewhere that she EDITOR' AND SEMINARIANS: Dorothy Day, editor of the fully aware of both sides of spent her Summers on the beau- Catholic Worker, chats with some of the seminarians participatthe coin. Parents expect a great deal of their teachers and so they should. After all most of us are powerless when we send a child to school. We expect that the teacher who has charge of our child will do Ii l::0mpetent job and we hope that occassionally we' can expect an excellent job. This really isn't asking too much and I have been fortunate in that my children h!l.Ve had good teacpers in the schools they have attended. " From the .other point of view, that of the teacher, I am fully aware of the problem of facing thirty children each day. There.' is no harder job. And I repeat most emphatically; there is no harder job. I have done many different kinds of work, but none was as wearing as working' in a classroom from morning to late afternoon. I can't help but think that those people ,who are pro!Jloting a twelve month school year have never taught in a classroom or have been absent for 5,0 long that they have forgotten how tough a job it is.

Teaching is filled with many satisfactions. There ig none greater than "getting to,l a child.

The knowledge that a good teacher can impart is eertainly extremely rewarding and without this, we would be sorely lacking in teaching personnel.

But the job is not all satisfac· tion. There is the disappointment that hurts deeply when we fail to reach a .child that we know can be helped or when we are faced with probelms over which we have no control such as the child who suffers from, a broken home. But most of all, there is the persistent nagging that comes from knowing that you haven't done the job as well as it could be done. This has to be because, frankly, no one can teach thirty or more children as well as, the task should be done.

There is too much involved, too little time and energy, and too much we don't know enough about to do everything that we should do.

In the Kitchen This morning as I casually glanced at the newspaper while eating breakfast I was saddened to see an obituary for a woman whom I though of as an old friend despite the fact that we had never met. Often in this column I have mentioned her New England Cookbook and whenever I was asked to speak on cooking I always toted my very dog-earred copy of her book with me to explain why this of all my cookbook collection was· my favorite. Eleanor Early was her name and she was a New Englander who ,cl)nveyed, to others in her writings, her love of this area despite the fact that she spent a great deal of time traveling and,' evidently! , maintained a New YQrk apartment up until two years' 'ago, . when she returned to live in Boston.

ST. LOUIS (NC) - Dorothy Willmann was honored here for 40 years of work in furthering the 400-year-old Sodality movement.

John Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis presented her with a citation which lauded her "40 years of extraordinary, devoted and continuous service."

The presentation was a feature of the seventh biennial convention of the National Federation of Christian Life Communities.

Miss Willman, NFLC executive secretary, who has been active in the Sodality movement at the parochial, diocesan, national and international levels, received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice deco. ration from Pope Pius XII and several other outstanding awards for her work.

In his address of welcome to the 400 convention delegates, the Cardinal expressed hope the ·convention would produce a "true dialogue" and exchange of ideas that would unite members.

He said he 'hopes the work now being done could be extended in scope and depth.

The delegates came from 'the United States, Canada and Liltin America.

PHILADELPHIA (NC)-Enroll-' ment decreases in the elementary and secondary schools of the archdiocese of Philadelphia are expected this senaester, according to the Catholic superintendent of schools. .

Msgr. Edward T. Hughes said he anticipated "a slight reduction on the high school level and a reduction similar to last year's on the grade school level." Grade school enrollment dropped by 8,453 students last year.

Financial strai~ and a decreased birih rate were cited as the principal causes of the grade school decrease.

"With the current monetary strain," Msgr. Hughes said, "even minimal expense is too much for many parents to undertake."

Archdiocesan records indicate that 2,003 fewer children were baptized in 1963 than in 1962, a factor which explains part of the decline in first grade enrollment this year.

Suburban migration, distance fl~om schools and completion of schools systems were mentioned as other possible contributing factors, but Msgr. Jiughes said it is difficult to measure their impact.

Last year, elementary enrollment decreased by 4,370 students in the city and by 4,083 in the suburbs. High school enrollment increased slightly.

Governor Signs Bill Permitting Church Raffles BOSTON (NC) .- Gov. Francis W.Sargent of Massachusetts has signed a bill authorizing religious, charitable and fraternal organizations to conduct raffles and bazaars.

He emphasized the legislation is "substantially different" from a beano bill he vetoed earlier this year.

"Raffles have not been s.ubjected to the kind of infiltration by organized crime that has characterized beano," the governor said.

He contended that the measure co'ntains "strong safeguards" to insure only non-profit, charitable units will raise funds through the raffles and bazaars.

The new ,law stipulates five per cent of the gross receipts from raffles and bazaars is to be consigned to state funds.

"The safeguards," GO'f. Sargent added, "minimize the danger of criminal involvement."

Require Permit It provides no raffles or bazaar may be held without a permit from 'Iocal officials. Permits are to be- issued only after a determination is made that the operator is a "religious, charitable, veterans or fraternal unit" and the orl;anizations must keep records, make periodic reports to local authorities a!1d· the state police.

The law sets no limits on the value of prizes in the raffles or bazaars. It restricts bazaar offerings to merchandise, .hut cash prizes of .any amounts may be awarded to raffle winners.

District Attorney. John J. Droney of Middlesex County, who has crusaded against lotteries and other forms of gambling, has declared he is against the' raffles law "in spirit."

He said that "if churches have to be financed,' from gambling, they ought to 'close their doors . . . if the churches did the job they are supposed to doinspire people--then they would not have to depend on money from gambling."

Beano was outlawed in Massachusetts after disclosures of criminal operation of the games.

Clarifies Invitatoon Of Pope to Japcln VATICAN· CITY (NC) ..:..,.·The Vatican City daily, clarifying its own clarification, has stated that when it wrote that Pope Paul VI had received no official invita-. tion to visit Japan, it mellnt that he had received no invitation to visit the atom-bombed city of Hiroshima.

This clarification, followed upon a visit to the papal secretariat of state by Japanese ambassador to the Holy See Yukihisa Tamura, who pointed out that he himself had delivered an official invitation of the Japanese government. This invitation, 'dating from May, invited Pope Paul to visit Japan on thl: occasion of next year's international exhibition in Osaka.

L'Osservatore Romano wrote: "We can confirm that there has been no official invitation from the competent authorities for a visit by the Holy Father to Hiroshima. It is true, however, 'that the Holy Father has been officially invited to visit the world exhibition that will be held at Osaka in 1970:'

The announcements were made here by Richard M. Guilderson Jr., director of the News Service.

"This' interpretive coverage will place the 'who, what, when and· where' of NC's' spot news report in perspective," said Guilderson. "And it will attempt to answer the question most asked by newspaper readers in these days of electronic journalism-'Why?' "By doing this, NC hopes to help religious publications meet the demands of an increasingly informed and demanding audience."

Chicago Leaders Score Non-Use Of Aid Funds

THE ANCHORThurs., Sept. 4, 1969

Lutherans Start Litu rgy Reform

CHICAGO (NC)· - The Chicago' Conference on Religion and Race is' shocked

because more than $l-million in unused anti-poverty funds is being returned to the U. S. Treasury by the Chicago Committee on Urban Opportunity.

Conference chairman George Jones has protested to Donald Rumsfeld, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. His· telegram to the Washington official said: "The Chicago. Conference on Religion and Race was shocked to learn that more than one million dollars ($1,061,128) of unused anti-poverty funds is being returned to the U. S. Treasury by the Chicago Committee on Urban Opportunity.

Says Incomprehensible "For the past two years the conference's Tri-Faith Employment Project has been forced to 3ccept crippling budget cuts by CCUO, because, we were told, sufficient anti-poverty funds for Chicago were not available. It is ' incomprehensible to us that there was actually a surplus of money for Chicago anti-poverty programs.

"As you no doubt know, the Tri·Faitn Employment Project is one of the nation's most successful job placement programs, making over 50,000 full·time, permanent job placements in the past three years. , "Yet we have been forced to tell community .groups, particularly those representing the Spanish-speaking, that we are unable to serve them because of the budget cuts forced upon us

by CCUO." , .

"We find it difficult to understand' how $1,061,128 in antipoverty funds could go unused, while CCRR's Tri-Faith Employment Project was forced to accept budget cuts in each of the past two years."

Conference Executive Director Monroe B. Sullivan said: "We were told there wasn't enough money to go aroundbut now we find that the Chicago Committee on Urban Opportunity simply never used the available funds. .

"We are now' placing nearly 2,000. unemployed men and women in full·time, permanent jobs each month at a cost of JUSt $19.87 per placement in fed· eral funds.

"CCRR feels the taxpayers are entitled to know that although Tri·Faith's production has increased steadily over the past three years, the project's budget has been slashed from $298,600 in 1967 to $268,500 in 1968 and now to $245,000 in 1969."

Observes Birthday In Private Prayer BOSTON (NC)-Richard Car· dinal Cushing of Boston let his 74th birthday anniversary go by without really noticing it.

"In fact," he said, "there won't even be a cake." The Sisters of St. Joan of Arc have been presenting the cardinal with a small cake each year.

Cardinal Cushing, who plans to retire next year, if the Vatican approves, spent his birthday in private prayer at his resi· dence here.

He has previously noted he has not been feeling well and has greatly curtailed his outside ,activities. The cardinal cele· brated Mass as usual in his private chapel on his birthday and then retired for the rest of the day.

Vocations Lack Disbands Brotherhood Conducted House of Charity for Homeless SPOKANE (NC)-Lack of vocations spelled the end for the Brothers of Charity of Spokane, established in 1963 by Bishop Bernard J. Topel of Spokane.

Its beginnings were humblea group of members of the lay Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi who had run 11 hostel, for homeless men .in Minneapolis, established Spokane's House of Charity in 1958. Brother Martin, one of the founders of the Minneapolis institution became a leglmd in Spokane for his work with transients and alcoholics.

The operation, in its later' years, was within a stone's throw of Spokane's "skid road" and included a dormitory that sheltered scores of mEm, especially in the below-zero Winter months, a chapel, and a· modern dining room.

Rehabilitation Farm Along with the main hostel, where Bishop Topd often helped serve the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of turkey-and-trimmings, the Brothers also as· sumed operation of a rehabilitation farm for alcoholics-Mount St. Charles, which operated successfully for two years.

Urges Dominic~ns Halt Bloodshed SANTO DOMINGO (NC) Bishop Hugo E. Polanco Brito, apostolic administrator of Santo Domingo, has appealed to Dominicans to stop a "river of blood"-including political murders-"with a wall of love and justice."

He was referring to a chain of killings in the past several weeks climaxed by the disappearance of Henry Segarra, a Marxist leader. ' "Those responsible for these deaths are seldom apprehended, and this boosts the number of cowards who commit ,their crimes and flee," the bishop said in a sermon in the cathedral.

He cited political killings, armed robbery, armed attacks on police and numerous murders. He also. called for greater efforts in education, labor re!ations and aid for rural areas.

STOCKHOLM (NC) - Experimentation with the liturgy has begun . in the Lutheran State Church, after the decision of the Church Assembly and approval by the government.

Ten parishes in each of the 13 .dioceses of Sweden have been authorized by Minister of Educa· tion Qlof Palme to carryon the experimentation.

The Lutheran State Church of Sweden has kept more of the shape of the Roman liturgy throughout the centuries than most other Protestant churches in northern Europe except the Anglican Church.

The Sunday morning service, called high mass with communion, is very similar to the Roman rite in its structure. The liturgical songs are sung in Gregorian chant by the congregation, and full 'vestments are worn by the priests.

One c~ several special institutions entitled to the experimentation in liturgy is St. David's House, the retreat house of the diocese of Vasteras, near Stockholm.

Lutheran Bishop Sven Sillen of that diocese was an observer at the Second Vatican Council.

At St. David's, daily mass is celebrated, with a small community of lay Brothers and Sisters. Retreat guests join in, or can celebrate their own liturgy in the. chapel. .

The decline in vocations was St. Lawrence House, an old not the only problem faced by former private residence in one the Brothers' operation.

").-

WASHINGTON (NC) - In the midst of the Summer.. heat and rains, ·and the sometimes torrid debate;;; of national and international issues, government agencies here have been releasing some interesting facts about women in the nation's everyday life.

They have reported, for example, that the undergraduate and graduate degrees the nation's colleges have been granting are increasing in number at a faster rate for women than for men.

Technology poses no threat to the secretary.

Women just don't seem to be able to get jobs as commercial. airline pilots.

Many women (and thousands of bachelors) don't know how to supervise household help.

The U. S. Office of Education said that prior to World War II, women received 40 per cent of college and university degrees; that after the war, with the G.I. Bill of Rights, the percentage of women graduates dropped to less than 25 per cent by ] 950, but today women are again receiving 40 per cent of the degrees and still gaining on men.

Women received 345,068 degrees in the year ending June 30, ]968. Men received 526,764. degrees in the same period.

Men Pilots The Manpower Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor found that, despite copying machines, dictating equipment, and automatic typewriters, the ranks of secretaries, stenographers and typists "have been booming."

There were 2,38/',180 secretaries, stenographers and typists in 1960, and this total is expected to increase "more than three-fifths" by 1975. It is expectd that there will be 3,901,040 workers in this group by the' latter year.

The Department of Labor said that in the nearly three decades .it has been publishing the Occupation Outlook Handbook, it has "sought in vain" to add airline

pilot as a career opportunity open to ·women.

The department said all qf the 28,800 pilots flying for major airlines are men, despite th~ fact thaUn .this country 10,OOO.:commercial licenses are .held by women; 10,OOO'women are certified private pilots, and more than 500 are licensed flight instructors.

I The department said the: I~ck of women pilots seems to center around the requirements established by the airlines, .like flight hours logged, physical size and· stamina, and too few candidates for a selection. Russia and other Eastern European countries 'have long had women flying: for scheduled airlines.

For Employers Another I,.abor Department release said women and bachelor men will often turn over ,their homes to be cleaned by domestic help without instructions as to what is to be cleaned, how the household appliances work; and perhaps without the tools to do the cleaning.

It revealed there are seven projects around the country sponsored by the Departments of Labor and of Health Education and Welfare which train both employers and 'employees in;their responsibilities. These' projects emphasize that an employer should not only assign ,fixed tasks, but try to organize the work load, and see that supplies and equipment are available.

Employers are taught how to supervise hO\.lsehold help. It is impressed upon them that a job is involved by which the, employee earns a living.. N~ither more nor less should be expected of household employes th~n is expected of people working in other fields, i! is stressed.

Questions Fritchey Theory About' Irish Conservatism

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Sept. 4, 1969

Await Decision on Mailed Obscene Advertisements

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

WASHINGTON (NC)-What: do you do when you find what you believe are erotically arousing or sexually provocative advertisements in' your mail? There is a 1967 law which says you may ask your postmaster to direct the advertiser to stop sending the junk. If the advertiser speech rights only "so as not to with t.he countervailing refuses to adhere to this di- interfere rights" of other people. . rective, the local United "The right to speak confers

Clayton Fritchey, long-time associate of the late Adlai Stevenson and now a nationally syndicated columnist writing on political matters at home and abroad, reported from Dublin a few weeks ago that Ireland remains conservative to the core. By way of trying to prove his there is something in the Irish point, he noted that, despite blood that impels not only the inhabitants of contemporary Ireg row i n g industrialization land but also their Irish Amer-

and a more cosmopolitan outlook, the liberal Labor Party has made no headway and, if anything, has lost ground in recent years. "In Ire I and ," he wrote, "not only the old and middle-aged are conservative but much of the young as well ,;, ,;, ,;, I have no way of knowing whether or not the Irish are all that conservative, but, for present purposes, I am willing to take Mr. Fritchey's word for it.

On the other hand, I think he was drawing a rather long bow when he went on to say in his Aug. 22 column that the real or alleged poltical conservatism of the Irish people supports the view of those who think that the growing conse&atism, real or alleged, of Irish Americans, "so long the backbone. of Democratic urban power," makes them ripe for the picking by the Republican Party.

Hope for Republicans "It is only too obvious," Mr. Fritchey contends, "that the collapse of the (heavily Irish) Democratic political machines that once dominated 'the large cities coincided with the advent of prosperity and civil service. It was the no-longer-needed jobs, and the political lagniappe (small favors), that had mattered -not the liberal slant of the party." .

Therefore, he concludes, "the Republicans are entitled to think the inherent conservatism of these new blue-collar suburbanites will increasingly assert itself." .'

Not being a Republican or Democratic "strategist," I am not disposed to challenge Mr. Fritchey's prophecy. For all I know, the hopes of the Republicans-and the fears of the Democrats-with regard to Irish American voting trends may turn out to have been well founded. .

If so, that's something for the Republican strategists to gloat about, but it's none of my official business.

Conservative to Core On the other hand, I must confess that I don't know what Mr. Fritchey was talking about when he wrote that the alleged conservatism of Irish American suburbanites is "inherent."

I gather from the context in which he was writing that he was trying to say that since the Irish in Ireland - according to his way of reading their history and their present practice - are "inherently" conservative, it follows logically and ineluctably that Irish Americans must be equally conservative by nature and that when they desert the conservative camp, they do so only in appearance and then only temporarily and for reasons of p,urely personal or group advantage.

In other words, what he almost seemed to be saying is that

ican cousins, up to the fourth or fifth or presumably even the tenth generation, to be conservative to the core.

It will be understood, of course, that, for present purposes, I am sticking to Mr. Fritchey's definition of the word conservative.

Rather Insulting Fritchey's theory about the inherent conservatism of Irish Americans makes for interesting reading, but, for my' own part, I think it's rather insulting, if not to the Irish" in Ireland, certainly to Irish Americans, for it seems to suggest that they have been so conditioned to heredity th~t they are incapable of thinking for' themselves even when they have been transplanted for many generations.

Moreover Fritchey's thesis raises more questions about American voting habits than it answers. It explains,.....,.at least to Mr. Fritchey's satisfaction-why an increasing number of Irish Americans are now tending to vote for the Republic Party, but fails to explain why others of equal" or greater affluence continue to vote for, and indeed are almost synonymous with, the opposition. The Kennedy clan, for example.

Similarly Fritchey's theory purports to explain why so many Irish Americans are conservative, politically speaking, but fails to explain why some ~nglo颅 Saxons, some Italo-Americans, some immigrants from Eastern Europe, some Americans of French Canadian origin, some Mexican Americans some members of every nationality group in the United' States-also vote the conservative ticket in more or less proportionate numbers once they, too, have begun to move up the economic ladder.

Rather Confusing Is there something in their blood also--or something in the drinking water or the .soil in ~he lands from which their ancestors immigrated-which impels them, like their Irish American neighbors, to be conservative to the core?

If so, we are left without any satisfactory explanation as to why so many other members of all of these groups, like so many Irish Americans, also vote for what Mr. Fritchey describes as the more liberal ticket in na- tional elections.

It's all rather confusing which suggests, to this writer at least, that Mr. Fritchey ought to start all over again and look for a less biological (or more sophisticated sociological) explanation "of why so many Irish.

Americans, obviously to his great displeasure, seem to be doing what almost every other group in the United States, for better or for worse, has tended to do-namely to transfer their political loyalties from one party to another for a variety of reasons which would seem to have less to do with heredity than with the socio-economic environment in which they happen to find themselves.

Cites Importance Of Catechists VATICAN .CITY (NC)-"The faith. To teach the faith in joy.

This is your calling. Your mission is of the highest; your undertaking is sublime."

With these sentiments, and with many a slap at modern theological trends, John Cardinal Wright, former bishop of Pittsburgh and now prefect of the Congregation of the' Clergy opened the congress of catechists at Mendola, north of Milan, the first week bf August.

The Vatican City daily, L'Osservatore Romano, in publishing the full text of the cardinal's talk called it a statement of praise for the work of the catechist.

The cardinal, while speaking openly of enthusiasm for modern theology, plainly emphasized that it is a joyful teacher who will carryon the message of Redemption, not a brand' of new thinkin.g.

He reminded his."audience that they are not to prescind for themselves the point of view of a professional theologian nor abandon themselves to idle speculation about the faith, but rather become the prophet by communicating the simple word of witness. "Christ was never a professsional theologian," Cardinal Wright asserted. "He chose rather to be a prophet to a specified truth." The catechists were told that a teacher of the faith is greater than a theologian.

You are not alone if you are disgusted with the unsolicited materials. you receive in the mail. There are many irate recipients. Those aware of the 1967 law agree it is a good statute.

It is estimated that 100,000 persons have taken advantage of it to date.

But there" is a group of mailers that contends the law violates the First Amendment freedom pf speech.

The issue is expected to be resolved this Fall when it is reviewed by the United States Supreme Court.

Individual Rights The Justice Department has urged the court to declare the law constitutional. Free speech rights must yield, Justice said, when citizens do not want their privacy invaded by mail they consider obscene.

"The right to speak to the community at large may be made to" yield to a citizen's countervailing right to privacy in his own home," says Solicitor General Erwin N. Griswold.

"The statute does:>J'lot ":invest the Postmaster General with the functions of a public censor," he pointed out.

"Instead, it simply allows him to carry out the wishes of private citivens who do not want to receive certain types of mail," Griswold explained.

Invasion' of Privacy He was quick to stress that the law is aimed only at "pandering advertisements" and does not restrict the flow of books, pamphlets, pictures or other material traditionally protected by the First Amendment. .

However, Griswold argues,' even assuming the free movement of advertisements is protected by the Constitution, the mailers may exercise their free

no right to intrude on an unwilling listener wthin the confines路 of his own residence," Griswold maintains, William R. Consedine, general counsel of the United States Catholic Conference, told NC News Service that "people have the right to exclude pornography from their homes. The court should'sustain this basic right."

Congress Upset He said there may be procedural problems but added that "the .fundamental right to bar direct intrustion of the home hopefully will be sustained."

There is general agreement that 'dissemination of pornography is on the upswing, a trend upsetting to many members ofCongress. .

About 150 anti-pornography bills are in the House Judiciary Committee hopper, a committee spokesman told NC News Service.' It is estimated there are another 50 such bills awaiting action in other committes.

The Supreme Court ruled during its last term that possession of obscene materials by adults in their own homes is a constitutionally protected right.

Burger Leadership Congress, aware of the ruling, is aiming most bills at protecting juveniles from solicitation and dealing with intrusions on .individual privacy.

Or,e piece of proposed legislation, sponsored \;>y 60 House members, would prohibit advertising or supplying "obscene material'~ to persons under 18 by mail or in interstate commerce. This is an approach similar to a New York law that has been upheld by the" Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court's consideration of the 1967 law is seen by experts as the initial test of whether the court under Chief Justice Warren E. Burger will take a narrower view of free speech rights than it did under Earl Warren.

"The Catholic press in particuiar should react against the efforts of pressure groups. Today it seems that in the Catholic Church there 'is no other problem than that of priestly celibacy. Why is that? Because of a puffing-up of the affair mounted by those with an interest in changing public opinion.

Pronouncement· Need "In this regard, I would like to see the Catholic infrastructure especially in the Vatican made more adequate so as to. allow a better chaimeling of information to newsmen, through the crea, tion of efficient press offices."

Several times, in his long interview, Cardinal Daneilou spoke of a need for outspokenness on the part of the Church's magisterium - its teaching authority. . He said 'various polemics in the Church today give rise to "the need of a clear and solemn pronouncement on specific matters." Elsewhere he called for "a definite stand on questions of principle." Finally, he asserted' that ·press campaigns against ecclesiastical authority will bring .forth' a "clear pronouncement" from the magisterium.

Papal Authority Such pronouncement "will be hailed with joy by the great maS!l of Catholics and also one can well believe by many Christians who do not belong to our confe!lsion. " He explained: "I speak of Orthodox 'and Protestants, m!lny of whom have shown they feel and understand the importance of what the Pope's authority represents' for the whole of Christianity, manifesting lively disquiet at the present condition of the Catholic Church, at the growth in it of tendencies toward secularism, and at the challenging of fundamental articles of our Faith."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Sept. 4, 1969

Great

LONDON: Six hundred million people, of every race, nation, creed' and ideology watched the first man set foot on the moc;m. They watched, as a village might watch, an extraordinary display of human ingenuity and courage in an arena where everyone could look on. But they are people's reactions, the racist not a village. Or rather, they mood in Britian is fed by a mythology of firmly held lack those basic village in- wide and quite false beliefs. One can

cite a few of them: that migrants are irresponsible and idle and have come crowding in to Britain to live it up on the Welfare services, that migrants are promiscuous, that their birthrate is going up sharply, that they keep "native" British out of desperately needed housing, that they are. disorderly and "make· trouble."

Almost a demonology is built up-of alien and dangerous elements being introduced to disturb the peace and solidity of British life. Thus, in one of the socially most equable communities on earth, the years of the moon landing seem to coincide with a sharp deterioration of relations between "earthlings" in one of their local habitats.

Fortunately, for sanity and renewed stability in Britian, an exhaustive report on the migrant position "Colour and Citizenship," has been published by the Institute of Race Relations. By far the most remarkable and interesting part 'of this Report makes clear how far the "demonology" is from facts.

The vast majority of the migrants who have come to Britaitl in the last 20 years were encouraged by the British Government to come in order that they might do basic but not very attractive or well _ paid work-sewage workers, street cleaners, bus conductors, railway porters which the British no longer wanted to do. Asian and Caribbean governments often tried to discourage this recruitment. The inducements came from Britain.

The migrants work steadily at these jobs. They rely less on welfare than local British. They save more; they occupy the least desirable housing. In short, they put in more than they take out of the community. The average migrant family has higher marital standards, less illegitimacy.

In fact, many are shocked at what they find in the permissiveness and laxity of the British family. They have, possibly as a r~sult, less juvenile delinquency. They are also stabilizing their family size and by the 1980s will still be below 3 millions.

In short, the "horror stories" are pure myth. A picture has been built up and is in part believed that simply bears no relation to 'the facts. The very first duty therefore for Christians in Britian who aspire to be "peacemakers" is to know thoroughly and to pass on repeatedly to their neighbors what are the realities. All can perform this service to truth. This can be the starting point for -a much wider effort..

Now in Paris PARIS (NC) - Most of the nine priests expelled from Haiti as "undesirables" by President Francios Duvalier are known to be in Paris, having come directly from Port-au-Prince following the government order.

Of the nine, eight are native Haitians. The other is Father William Smarth, a. foreigner, whose nationality was not disclosed.

Pope Paul Expresses Ell1couragement For Religious Orders

stitutions - the village policeman, the local law court, the property tax for the school. In a . . word, they do ~ not live in a community which restrains the i I' hostility and s e I' v e s their general welfare.

They are left free to pursue the i I' hatreds and their fears.

And at the end those pres~ sures could lie 'not mankind reaching out to humanize a whole planetary system but a dead planet, Earth, strewn with nuclear dust.

So the vision of the moon and the vision of our human neighborhood are essentially linked.

It is as though we were being offered a picture of the human species as a unity and of Planet Earth as their single home. But the preservation of that home depends upon a minimum degree of peace on Earth, a minimum tolerance between peoples and races, a minimum readiness to live as neighbors and accept the institutions of. neighborhood.

The external vision of where man, in the majestic unfoldinR of God's historical purpose, might still go where each man, in God's personal word to him, in his private destiny, is ready to go. "Blessed are the peacemakers" takes on a new meaning when the reconciliation of man becomes, in a literal. sense, the condition of survival.

First Duty So each of us, each nation, each race, each tribe, has to ask where the conditions of neighborliness is most lacking and make the attempt to reach mutual respect and support as a first Christian duty. Undoubtedly, for many people from or in the North Atlantic region, the biggest challenge to their conscience is the racial issue.

In Britain, in a direct, local sense, it is relatively new. It is only since the Second World War that Commonwealth migrants from the Caribbean and from the Indian subcontinent have come to settle in Britain and to bring families of African and Asian origin to live permanently among white citizens.

This migrant population is small-under two million in a country of oyer 50 millions. But it is concentrated heavily in certain cities-in London and the Midlands. And there are, in certain groups, signs of hostility and fear building up into an ugly kind of racism. There are also signs of irresponsible politicians seeing in these hostilities a means of power for themselves.

CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)Pope Paul VI had words of encouragement and good wishes in an audience here for members of many Religious orders who are here in Rome at this time holding general chapters for the revision of their constitutions.

Pope Paul acknowledged the presence in these meetings of "great fervor and great _commitment ':' * ':' in order to recover the pristine and original inspirations of the foundations."

REV. FERNANDO VEIGA, C.M.

Vincentians Slate Weekerid Bozo,ar A bazaar will be held Saturday and Sundar at Urban's Grove, Tiverton, with proceeds benefiting the Missionary Center of the Portugese Vincentian Fathers at 601 June Street, Fall River.

Attractions will include PortuGuese foods, g!lmes, raffles and auctions. Music will be by St. Anthony's Band of Fall River.

The June Street center is staffed by Rev. Fernando Veiga, C.M. Their principal work is with Portuguese immigrants in area parishes. Also benefiting by the weekend bazaar will be the works of the community in Portuguese Africa.

Heading the committee working for the event are John Medeiros, Arthur Travassos, Antonio C. Lebre and Jordan Travassos.

The Pope recalled that these Religious families sprang up from the "the genius of charity and from the wisdom of saintly people."

"These are days," he assured those in attendance, "of profound meditation, of practical renewal and of. confrontation

with the needs of the new times," And he told the Religions that he intends "to strengthen the vocation of these generous and courageous souls which are paradoxically liberated from the world in which they nevertheless seek to' live ,~ * '~with humility of service and greatness of sacrifice."

The Pope continued: "We urge all men of good will, even those who are not themselves dedicated to this singular kind of life, to acknowledge its dignity, the value of its example and its priceless function in the Church and even in profane society."

Pope Paul concluded the audience with blessings and greetings to all the Religious and assured them of his prayers for their work.

Says. Philippines Red IHuks' Rebuilding Gaon

Support From Poor, Bishop' Asserts

SAN . FRANCISCO (I'~C) Hukbong Magpapalawang Bayan" sounds like some dripping creature from alow-budg~t horror flick. _ .

But in the Philippines the name translates to "People's Liberation Army" and st:lOrtens to "Huks."

The Huks, a communist-led guerrilla movement, tried ~o sieze power in the Philippines after World War II. Their rebellion was crushed in the early 1950s by a combination of armed attacks and land awards to ;them.

'A soft-spoken, round·faced prelate, Bishop Felix Z;'lfra y Sanchez of Dipolog, Philippines, said while visiting San Francisco that the Huks are on the rise again.

"The Huks are mostly poor people. They complain to the government. But the politicians, who've been elected through the support of wealthy landlords, don't do much for them," Bishop Zafra said.

Terror Tactics So the Huks kill local o'fficials and businessmen.

The terror tactics of the Huks are most common in central Luzon, the granary of the Philippines, the bishop said. He believes that this "Vietcong, of the Philipp.ines" is gaining fresh support from the poor because of some glaring flaws in government land reform programs.

"The government has. given land to the farmers but left them without the instruments ,to develop the land," Bishop, Zafra said. "Many poor people are forced to sell their property to a few wealthy landholdets," he added. ~he bishop is trying to, develop an irrigation system :in his diocese, where 65 per cent of the people' are farmers. ,Water flows freely in the rivers of Dipolog. But there is no system

to carry it into the farmers' fields during dry seasons.

Another bishop helped increase the rice harvest of his p~ople fourfold by introducing new farming methods. He then built a cooperative warehouse so the farmers could store and later market their goods themselves rather than turn them over to middlemen.

In another diocese, the bishop has a team of carpenters' building simple but solid housing units on vacant lots of. the poor.

Since 1967 some 2,500' community development projects have been sponsored by the Church in the Philippines, Bishop Zafra said. But some consider the Church's rural reform program too little and too late.

Canadiqn Prelates Define New Power OTTAWA (NC) - The 1969 Labor Day statement of the Canadian Catholic bishops voiced . the view that the emergence of "new power" groups indicates "real progress toward a democratic. society" in which power and justice can co-exist.

The statement defines the "new power" phenomenon as the desire of "the powerless, the deprived and the forgotten" to' have' a say in decision making at all levels.

Released here through the Episcopal Commission for Social . , Action of the Canadian Catholic 'Conference, nationwide organization of the Canadian Catholic hierarchy, the statement I,lsserted "new power" at its best is "a modern-day form of 'that hunger and thirst after justice' of which the Gospel speaks."

archy fear they will lose the financial support of the wealthy if they speak out too loudly for social reform.

Politically, the Republic of the Philippines is patterned after the United . States, which governed the country'until 1946. But violence often mars the democratic process.

SAO PAULO (NC) - Father Jan Honore Talpe, 35, a Belgian priest teaching physics at the Sao Paulo State University, has been expelled by Brazil's military regime on charges of "subversive activities" among workers of the neighboring industrial complex of ,9sasco.

He is the 11 th foreign priest to be exp~lled under similar charges since August ~f 1968, when French Father Pierre Joseph Wauthier was jailed and then sent to France for having participated in a workers' strike, also at Osasco.

Among' 'the priests expelled are three Americans: Fathers Darrell Rupiper O.M.1. and Peter Grams, O.M.I., who worked in Recife, and Father James Murray, a priest from the diocese of Providence, who worked at Santarem.

Expelled along with Father Talpe was Friedrich. Tscharage, a German student of the school of philosophy at the Sao Paulo university.

Angelo Cardinal Rossi of Sao Paulo visited Father Talpe in detentipn, and later said in a public statement that the priest had shown loyalty to his Church mission and had acted under his own responsibility. The cardinal praised "the apostolic spirit" of Father Talpe.

One. Arrest Made During Teach-in, . WASHINGTON (NC)-Qfficials at the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament here responded to an attempted teach-in at the church by having a member of the Center for Christian Renewal arrested.

Roark R.eed, 29, of nearby. Bethesda, Md., was arrested when he protested police "harrassment" of members of the liberal Catholic group after the 12:55 P.M. Mass.

He was siezed by police when he reportedly said 'in a loud voice, "This is the Church's response to relevant issues." He was charged with "disturbing a religious congregation."

57 Communities Review Opening Cloister Doors BALTIMORE

,CCD Co-Sponsors Awareness Day

(NC) .

Some 135 nuns of contemplative communities are engaged in a two-week semin-

The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, the Massachusetts Council of Churches and the Massachusetts Association for Retarded Children will co-sponsor an Awarene'ss Workshop beginning at noon Sunday, Sept.

21 at St. Coletta's School, Hanover.

The workshop will consider an inter-faith approach to ministry with the mentally retarded and is expected to attract leaders in religious education, seminarians, school directors and civic leac;lers from all parts of the state.' Organizers hope "to discover ways of coordinating community potential for service to the mentally handicapped of all ages and to their families."

ar at near"y Woodstock College, conducted by the Jesuits; seeking to determine how far to open their cloistered doors to modern life. , The seminar got underway Aug. 17 and will continue to Aug. 31. The central issue is the goal of contemplative education and its relevance to the culture and status of today's American women. .

The nuns represent 57 communities in the United States and Canada. The seminar is the first of its kind ever held in the United States, it was stated.

Depends on Training Exploration of the current educational process of contemplative Sisters is being sought in three developmental areas: The meaningfulness of contemplation in the contemporary world.

A fuller understanding of personhood and the achieving of true identity.

A more profound penetration into what it means to be women of prayer.

The seminar is titled "The Prayer-Role of Contemplatives in the Life and Mystery of the Contemporary Church" and the sessions draw on the declaration of Vatican Council II that "The suitable renewal of religious communities depends very largely upon the training of their members."

Need Vision Some revision in the education of young Sisters had been discussed previously by some communities, but the seminar in progress seeks to reach all members of individual communities.

Sister Constance Fitzgerald, a Baltimore Carmelite, addressed the entire group at the opening session with a thought provoking statement.

"We believe the life of contemplative prayer has value and meaning for contemporary man if only we have enough vision to perceive where this meaning lies and to work out the implications," she said.

By the end of the two week session, the 135 women who are working together may find an answer to the challenging work before them. That is the hope of the organizers and coordinators of the seminar.

Emphasizes Service To People' of God DUBUQUE (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Francis J. Dunn of Dubuque, elevated to the episcopacy in ordination ceremonies at St. Raphael's cathedral here, emphasized the hierarchy's role of serving mankind.

"There is >:< " >:< the somber realization that the fullness of the priesthood brings with it the responsibility of giving greater service to the People of God," Bishop Dunn said in his sermon during his episcopal ordination.

He cited the Second Vatican Council, saying "it taught so clearly" that "a bishop is ordained to a ministry of service."

A bishop, the new prelate explained, "must follow the example of Our Lord, who came not to be served, but to serve others. He must never put himself first, but he must always put himself at the service of others."

Prelate Stresses Development of Individual 'LOS ANGELES (NC)' - A priest engaging in work to aid the poor and minorities said the solution to problems of poverty must be personalistic, not programmatic.

Msgr. John Languille, associate director of the Los Angeles Catholic Welfare Bureau, told the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice convention here: "The way out of this situatfon in poverty areas is the development of the individual who is there and who is there not by his own choice."

"It is not by our imposition of our ideas on the poor but by their identifying their own problems and our working together that will bridge the gap tu solutions," Msgr. Languille said.

Msgr. Languille described how this thinking is applied in parish work, in education and in social welfare in the Los Angeles archdiocese.

"The center of church life is always the parish. I offer the experience of Father Clement Meyer, S.V.D., pastor of St. Leo's parish in southside Los Angeles," he continued.

"He believes his parish is typical of the problems of the deep South. It is a port of entry

.Danish Synod Urges Reforms in Church NYBORG (NC)-At the first synod of the Church in Denmark, the 200 delegates were heavily in favor of reforms, including the ordination of married men to the priesthood.

The synod had been in preparation for two years. Two-thirds of the delegates were elected, while the rest were appointed by Denmark's only Catholic bishop, Bishop Hans L. Martensen, S.J., of Copenhagen. One-third of the delegates were priests, the others were lay people or nuns.

New Vietnam Center To Train Sisters SAIGON (NC)-An educational center with an institute for 'training teaching Sisters will be opened here under the sponsorship' of the Vietnamese Bishops.

De La Salle Brother Gagelin Tran Mai Tam, national secretary of the Vietnam Catholic Educational Association and a professor at the state-owned University" of Dalat, has been named head of the new center.

An annual collection will support the new center. A $25,000 grant has been received from the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples in Rome .to help in the establishment and equipping of the center in a 100-year-old building donated by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres.

Brother Gagelin, native of North Vietnam's Hanoi, said there are 300 De La Salle Christian teaching in 26 Vietnamese schools. The Brothers have "pretty good professional training before going on the job," but teaching Sisters are in great need of such training, he declared, noting there are approximately 5,000 teaching Sisters who until now have had no training institution to assist them in their work.

Priests' Se'minar Stud ies DiQcesa n Personnel Policy' NEW YORK (NC) -

One

bishop and 55 priests, representing 40 dioceses throughout the nation, took part in a three-day seminar here; dealing with techniques of personnI'l management.

Each paid, $130 for a lookhpar-see study of whether some modprn corporate techniques can bp applied successfully to church management problems.

Auxiliary Bishop Timothy J. Harrington of Worcester, Mass., gave this evaluation of the sessions: "An awful lot of this is not路 going to apply. Not everything that works for business will work for the Church. But I do think there have been benefits for everyone-priests, hierarchy and laity."

The seminar was sponsored by the National Federation of Priests' Councils' and DrakeBeam & Associates, Inc., a New York psychological consultant firm.'- The council is composed of diocesan priests' senates and councils, representing some 40.000 priests.

Modern Principles Each participant in the seminar is working full or part time in personnel work of his particular diocese. A number expressed belief the Church structure is now outmoded and could , benefit from modern business principles and practices.

Listed by some participants as one area in which n~vamping is necessary is the communications gap between a bishop. and' his parish priests.

Father John F. Fagan of New York asserted: "We hope that out of this will come a 'reevaluation of present diocesan personnel 路policies, so that the best way to administer people will be found."

Besides lectures' on principles used in decision making and communications, the seminar in路 cluded a case study method. The priests explored this technique on discussing the seminary system and the celibacy problem..

Collections Benefit Hurricane Victims MiAMI (NC)-Special collections were taken up in churches and chapels throughout Florida, earmarked for aiding victims of devastating Hurricane Camille.

Archbishop' Coleman F. Carroll of Miami, metropolitan of the statewide province, appealing .for generosity, reminded that residents' of Florida are not strangers to death and devastation wrought by hurricanes.

The archbishop rflcalled that Catholics thoughout the nation came to the aid of Florida residents when Hurricane Donna hit the state in 1960 and Hurricane Betsy ;:1 1965. He added: "We can appreciate the need which the people of Mississippi, and Louisiana now experience."

Archbishop Carroll, Bishop Charles McLaughlin of St. Petersburg and Bishop William D. Borders of Orlando' directed that special collections be taken up in all churches in their Sees on Aug. 31. A campaign for donations was opened Aug. 24 by Bishop Paul F. Tanner in all churches of the St. Augustine diocese. .

Half the Catholic parishes in the Greater Fall River area sponsor Boy Scout troops, according to a survey made by Wilson Curtis, MassasOit Boy Scout Council president. He notes that work done by fathers to. simulate Scouting in' their parishes "could mean a great deal to their children in later life. A father doesn't have to be rich-just interested enough in his children to spend some time and effort in helping them get .prepared for life."

An example of Scouting preparing youths for future vocations, Curtis pointed to four Somerset' youths, recipients of $1,000 pre-medical scholarships from Somerset Lions Club.

Bishops in Germany Deplore Extremists KOENIGSTEJN (NC)-A "serious increase" in extremist political activity in West Germany, both on the right and the left:, has been deplored' by the German Catholic Bishops at an extraordinary meeting held shortly before the national elections.

The Bishops noted that while these groups appear to be opposed in their political programs, they are actually alike. in their allegiance to "worldwide prejudices" and in 'their willingness to use violence to win their political ends. , ,They also .d~clared that the use of violence against property or people violates the Christian commandment ,of ,love. They insisted that Catholicism is not allied with any specific political, economic or social system but observed that its goal of the development of a better society is hampered by public disorders and by pressures for nationalistic or totalitarian systems.'

It is obvious that Mr. Leggett has put a vast amount of work into this book. He writes punctiliously, sometimes gracefully, occasionally with crisp force. He has crowded in a myriad of particulars (about Yale, about technology, about sailing, about wheeling and dealing in Washington) which one is sure are precise.

But by overstuffing and overextending, he crushes out what life and significance his novel might have had.
