NEW YORK (NC)-The Cath­olic bishops of New York Statecalled on all people of good willto take part in an all-out cam­paign "to reverse the life-des­troying trends of society whichabortion and euthanasia repre­sent."

The bishops' statement wasreleased here by Cardinal Ter­ence Cooke. It said July I, whenthe state's new regressive abor­tion law went into effect, marksthe beginning of a "tragic chap­ter" in the history of the state.

Meanwhile Robert A. Derzon,acting hospitals commissionerhere, emphasized Catholic hos­pitals and medical personnel willnot be required to participate inabortions under the law.

be slow at approving appropria­tions.

If the House biJI becomes lawand Congressional funds are notforthcoming, public service mail­ers would have to pay higherrates to compensate. '

Despite this pitfall, the Housebill is said to be much less afinancial threat than the Senatebill. Both bills now go to a con­ference committee, composed ofmembers from each body, wheredifferences between the two billswill be ironed out and a finalproduct will be shaped.

Several attempts were madeto remove the phase-out provi­sion from the McGee-Fong billbut were unsuccessful. Two ef­forts were made to substitute theentire House bill for the Senatebill. One of those motions lostby a narrow margin and one wastabled out of existence.

Four church-related groupsalso wrote letters to every sena­tor proposing an amendment toretain a preferred rate for secondand third-class nonprofit mailersby phasing in over a 10 yearperiod a rate equal to one-halfthe normal rate for each class.

McGee admitted, however,that in light of the lowered ratespreviously allowed for publicservice mailers, it would be"grossl'y unfair to those mailers,and genuinely adverse to thepublic interest to 'throw them tothe wolves' in the first day of thePostal Service's operations."

This would "literally meanbal)kruptcy" in many cases, hesaid, and accounts for the bill'sproviding a phase-out period ofup to 10 years for public servicemailers to adjust to the higherrates. The phase-out would be­gin within two years after thebill became law.

A possible alternative to theMcGee-Fong bill is the postal re­form biJI passed by the House,which says that Congress cancontinue setting lowered ratesfor public service mail and pro­vide a yearly subsidy to make upthe difference.

mailers, however, is that Con­gress must appropriate the fundsto pay for this subsidy everyyear, and it has been known to

Senate Bill ThreatensNon-Profit Groups

WASHINGTON (NC) - TheSenate has passed its much­debated postal reform bill, com­plete with a clause that spellstrouble for nonprofit mailers likediocesan newspapers and chari­table groups:

The clause provides for thephasing out, of lower rates forall classes of mail over a 10-yearperiod. Religious, charitable andother nonprofit mailers have tra­ditionally enjoyed reduced sec­ond-class and third-class mailrates because of their publicservice function.

Sen. Gale McGee (D-Wyo.),one of the authors of the reformbill, said the phase-out proposalwould "get the Congress out ofthe clutches of the lobbyist."

If the proposed new self-sup­porting post office system re­tains ratemaking powers, McGeesaid in introducing the bill, "our

Urges ChristiansTo Break CircleOf Poverty

VATICAN CITY (NC)-A papalletter has called upon Christiansto "rise up with their strength,in the name of the Gospel,"against an economic system thatmakes poverty a by-product ofgrowth.

Christians should stand "in thefirst rank of those who dare byevery means at their disposal, tobreak the .hellish Circle of pov­erty," declared a letter writtenin Pope Paul's name by CardinalJean Villot, papal secretary ofstate.

The cardinal was writing tothe 57th French Social Week,which met in Paris July 1-5. ,Sub­ject of this year's social weekwas "The Poor in the -Society ofthe Rich."• "In the societies of plenty,"

the letter said, "poverty is notmeasured merely by the revenuesat one's disposal and the stan­dard of living one enjoys ... Isnot the poor man in sum the manwho does not count, who isnever listened to, who is puthere or there without beingasked his opinion, and who sinksinto an isolation so painful thathe may resort to irreparabledeeds of despair?"

World Wide Question

Of the society of the rich, theletter said:

"In this world where everyliving person is our neighbor, theresearch and the struggle of soci­eties of plenty against their is­lands of poverty cannot dispensethem from a resolute assault onthe great problems of our times,where 'the social question hasbecome worldwide' (PopulorumProgressio).

"That problem consists in thecrying disparities between therich countries and the poor coun­tries, the growing distortion thatseparates the most deprived fromthe most favored."

Christians should thereforestrive to close the widening gapbetween rich and poor "on aworld scale as well as on that ofthe various groupings," the letterdeclared.

Victims of Cupidity

Recalling that preaching thegood news to the poor is the"sign par excellence of the king­dom of God," the letter stated:

. "An attentive reading of theBible shows in fact that the poor

. hold in it a considerable placeand that, if their state is some­times the result of indolence orof disorder, the poor are notalways the children of lazinessbut very oiten the victims of fateor of men's cupi~ity."

British NursesRefuse Ro~'e

~n Aboft~(D!rnLONDON (NC}-A revolt by

hospital nurses against takingpart in legalized abortions wasreported this week to be spread­ing through Britian.

Senior operating room' nursesat Stepping Hill Hospital, Stock­port, Cheshire, refused to takepart in any further such opera­tions, claiming their right un­der the conscience clause in theAbortion Act.

Their action, which stemsfrom the ever-increasing num­ber of abortion cases, was ex­pected to be followed by snmilaraction at other hospitals.

The nurses at Stepping Hill,only four of whom are Catho­lics, have individually express­ed a growing distaste at whatthey have described as the prac­tice of "throwing human beingsinto the dustbin." Some nursesare known to have resigned.

"Religion does not really en­ter into this, although there areCatholics among us," one ofthem said. "We are repelled bywhat we have to do."

They also resent the fact thatabortions are leap-frogging overa two-year wait for other gyne­cological operations.

bne hospital official said theabortion operation "is repellentto most trained nurses. Thishas been brewing for sometime."

Among AU NursesA London spokesman for the

Royal College of Nursing said:"There is a growing concern

about the increase in these opera­tions. There are hardly enoughnurses to be able to staff hos­pitals adequately to deal withother complaints. This placesan additional burden on an al­ready overworked nursing staff."

WASHINGTON (NC)-Forcedpassage of a $2.7 billion hospitalconstruction bill has been call­ed "most for.tunate" by Msgr.Harrold A. Murray, director ofthe United States Catholic Con­ference department of health af-fairs. -

On behalf of that departmentand the Catholic Hospital Asso­ciation's 900 health care facili­ties, the monsignor had sent let­ters urging members of Congressto pass the ,legislation supportingnew hospital construction, mod­ernization and corollary seryice. •

Congress did that when a totalof 76 senators-53 Democratsand 23 Republicans-voted toextend the Hill-Burton Act foranother three years. Only 19 Re­publicans voted to uphold Pres­ident Nixon's veto that the legis­lation was too expensive .

The House had voted earlier279 to 98 override the veto.

Important to People..It would have been most un­

fortunate for the Hill-Burtonprogram to be terminated with­out something to take its place,"said Msgr. Murray.

He added that the legislation,which has helped build healthcare facilities in 4,000 commu­nities since its inception in 1946,"has meant a great deal not onlyto al! types of hospitals in thecountry, but more importantlyto the people they serve."

Although Msgr. Murray ex­pected the veto, it has been 10years since Congress last over­rode one by passing into lawa fe~teral pay raise protested bythe late President Eisenhower.

Primary ObjectionThe veto could have been

thwarted, the priest said, hadthe White House alerted Republi·cans about its objections at anearlier date. The primary ob­jection was the section requiringthat all appropriations for majorhealth programs next year bespen~

NEWARK (NC) - Withoutfanfare or publicity, a tenantleague organized through an in­terfaith group at a municipalhousing project here has carriedon a successful three-month rentstrike.

A spokesman for the tenantleague claimed 60 perecnt ,of1,200 families in the 14-buildinghousing project have been turn­ing over rent payments to theleague instead ,of the NewarkHousing Authority.

The tenants have served no­tice on the housing authority thatif conditions and repairs are notsoon corrected by the authority,the league will make them outof the withheld rent fund., The league was launched by

Father Thomas C. Comerford ofQueen of Angels parish, who hasbeen residing at the project sinceDecember, and Sister' MaureenMcDonough of nearby St. Vin­cent's convent, who has .beenworking at the projec~ ,

The league has been assistedby the Newark Legal Services,

The league has complajned thehousing authority has litteredbasements and hallways; failed

House, the study group warnedthat the government's continuedattention to 'poverty-level fam­ilies. spawns resentment-andeven racial and ethnic hostility-among the blue collar workersstruggling to survive on annualincomes between $5,000-$10,000.

'Dead-End Job.s'"As taxpayers they help pay

Most of these people, it said,are locked into dead-end jobswith little opportunity to in­crease their earnings because oflack of formal education and jobupgrading programs. In addition,this group 0 has been hit hardestby the inflationary squeeze anda tax structure that "offerslittle relief."

The report, drafted by Assist­ant Labor Secretary Jerome M.Rosow, was spurred by the Presi­dent who last summer gave ad­ministration officials a magazinearticle. about blue-collar prob­lems with a hand-written notesaying "This is very disturbing.What can we do about it."

Vatican AssertsPope ReceivedLeaders Openly,

VATICAN CITY (NC) - TheVatican has denied reports thatPope Paul VI held a secret meet­ing with three leaders of a na­tional liberation movement inPortuguese Africa.

At a meeting of the rebelleaders in Rome, Portugal wasdenounced as a colonial powerthat holds onto its African ter­ritories with "repression andterror."

The charge was made by Mar­celino dos Santos, head of thecoordinating committee for therebel groups fighting Portugueseforces in Angola, Mozambiqueand Portuguese Guinea.

Some rebel leaders have ac­cused the Portuguese bishops'in the African territories of sup­porting the repressive measuresagainst the liberation move­ments.

The Vatican said that thethree rebel leaders-Marcelinodos Santos of Mazambique,Amilcar Cabral of Guinea andAgostino Neto of Angola-hadbeen received openly by PopePaul "within the strictly religi­ous framework of the weeklygeneral' audience."

Spoke BrieflyThe Vatican City daily, L'­

Osservatore Romano, said thatthe Pope, "because of his mis­sion, receives everybody whoasks to have the comfort ofhis blessing."

The paper said that Pope Paul"addressed to them words ofgreeting and of exhortation to befaithful to the Christian princi­ples in which they were edu­cated."

One Italian newspaper hadclaimed that the audience was"s~cret" and "was not register­ed" or published in L'Osserva­tore Romano.

HelpWASHINGTON (NC)-An esti­

mated 70 million Americans arefed. up with being trapped in thelower - middle socio - economicclass while their taxes pay forprograms to upgrade the poor.

This was the message receivedby the President in a special re­port which concluded that blue­collar frustrations could eruptsoon into "militancy at the bar­gaining table" if major politicalparties continue neglecting work­ers' needs.

The group which prepared thereport under leadership of out­going Labor Secretary George P.Shultz, offered 11 ways to im­prove the lot of the blue collarworker which it said is "eludedand forgotten."

The proposals, which took ayear to compile, fall into tnreecategories: improving earningcapacity, improving social statusand assistance from federal so­cial programs. They range fromcalling for new t.ax advantagesto issuance of postage stampshonoring craftsmen.

Child Care CostsThe improved earnin~ pro­

posals call for broadened train­ing programs now limited to thepoor. greatly enlarged adult ed­ucation for enhancement of, jobskills and tax subsidies of daycare for children of workingmothers.

The suggested solution is toallow families earning up to $10,­000 to deduct child care costsfrom federal taxes. The presenteligibility ceiling for care is $6,­900. The charted change wouldinvolve an additional estimated$60 million expenditure by thegovernment.

Nevertheless, Lodge was giv­en at least 45 minutes alonewith the POpe in his private li­brary. The meeting was de­scribed as warm and cordial.

Conversed in lFrenchThe Pope and Lodge, who has

twice been ambassador to Sai­gon and also the president's spe­cial ambassador to the Vietnampeace talks in Paris, talked pri-'vately in French.

A Lodge aide said that theconservation covered the en­tire range of the world's hotspots. The two spoke, he said,particularly of the fate of U.S.prisoners in North Vietnam andalso of the menace of drug traf­fic throughout the world.

As always, there were few de­tails about the specific conver­sation of the Pope and an im­portant visitor. However, afterthe audience Lodge said that"much time was given to con­sidering the outlook for peacein the world" and that he andthe Pope had discussed "variousways and means of advancingthe cause of world peace."

Peace in Middle EastAmong the problems touched

on during the first visit of"Lodge, according to an inform­ed source, was the particularlydelicate problem of peace in theMiddle East.

Lodge arrived in Rome JulyI to take up his new assignmentas special envoy of PresidentNixon to the Vatican. The pres­ident named Lodge to the postJune 5.

Although termed a special en­voy of the president, Lodgeholds no formal title or diplo­matic accreditation.

On his arrival in Rome, Lodge. took rooms at the Grand Hotel

where he will also maintain anoffice.

Lodge will remain in Romefor the month of July. Accordingto his office, he is not sched­uled to see Pope Paul again thistime, since the Pope is due togo to his summer residence inmid-July at CastelgandoIfo.

Lodge's assignment calls for, him to visit the Vatican two or

three times a year to familiarizePope Paul with the views ofPresident Nixon and to learnthe Pope's thinking on a numberof world problems.

CardinDI VillotOn July 3, Lodge visited the

papal secretary of state, Car­dinal Jean Villot, and Archbish­op Giovanni Benelli, the under­secretary of state.

During Lodge's current visitin Rome he will see a number ofVatican officials.

Lodge is the first representa­tive on an oHicial level at theVatican since Myron Taylor end­ed his special World War II as­signment to Pope Pius XII in1950.

acts of faith, hope and love, read-.ing formal prayers from a book,or "offer a spontaneous prayer­suited to the individual needsof the person."

'Good Listening'"Such a prayer is very effec­

tive if the Sister mentions thefears' and worries the sick per­son has expressed," he said.

Some Sister-Visitors, who areretired· teachers or nurses,"should never pass up an op­portunity" to visit the aged ina hospital, Father Niklas said,adding that "the geriatric flooris at times the loneliest area ofthe hospital."

He urged Sister-visitors to cul­tivate the art of listening, totest themselves ,after visits byasking themselves whether thevisitor or the patient had donemost of the talking,

In the last few years the areahas changed rapidly from an all-

Negroes were not barred fromchurch services, but little wasdone to encourage their attend­ance until the congregation de­cided that only a black ministercould restore vitality to thechurch, according to CarrollBarfield, the lay reader.

READING (NC) - A hospitalchaplain said there is a sort ofenigma inherent in the Iole ofnun-visitors seeking to performthe corporal work of mercy byvisiting the sick in hospitals.

Father Gerald Niklas, chap­lain at Mercy Hospital, Spring­field, Ohio, speaking at an in­stitute, on aging sponsored by theSisters of Notre Dame de Namurhere, emphasized there is no fix­ed pattern for a Sister-visitor tofollow.

But, he declared, the nun-visit­ors can accomplish a tremendousamount of good in carrying ontheir works. In the person-to-per­son relationship, the chaplainsaid, the nun-visitors can help ahospital patient just by listeningto his Rripes, talking with himabout "his fears and anxieties,or 'offering a prayer with him."

Father Niklas said there are noset qualifications for a Sister-vis­itors but the role they fill is"becoming ever more importantin the field of modern medicine."He warned them against tryingto become a "pseudo-physician"by offering medical opinions,counseling them to perform

First DutyPope Paul has r~minded men that in the midst of the

,wars and rumors of· wars their first duty is to pray. Hepoints out that perhaps God allows many of the presentsorrows to engulf the world to drive men back to theirfirst work of paying attention to Him. This.. does not absolveman from the task of striving for peace and using everybit of reasoning and ingenuity and diplomacy to bring' itabout.

But it does emphasize the fact that religion isbasically the relation of man to God and God to man. And

, once man accepts the fact of God he can never again be thesame or act the same. He must make a significant effortto include God in his daily life and acts and in the con­duct of world.ly affairs.

Ever since Vatican II there has been-happily-a re­newed interest in commitment. There has been a revital­ization in the desire of Catholics to serve their fellow men.But they must also be a equally renewed interest in spirit­uality, an equally revitalized desire for holiness of life.

Pope John insisted when he called the Council thatit was to let the holiness of the Church shine before men.Its basic renewal was to be 'not merely in externals butin the hearts of men.

Unless there is this kind of renewal-a renewal inholiness-then the Vatican Council has not even been un­derstood, much less gotten off the ground.

Legislator to Seek'New Abortion Law

Assembly Majority LeaderCraig Biddle of Riverside said heplans to introduce the legislationunder Assembly emergency pro­cedures as a result of a ruling bythe California Supreme Court,which held an unborn fetus isnot a "human being" within themeaning of California's 98-year­old homicide statutes.

The high court ruling was madein the case of a man accused ofdeliberately causing the death ofan unborn fetus car'ried by hisformer wife.

SAN JUAN (NC)-Bishops ofPuerto Rico's four dioceses an­nounced here that they supportthe safety of residents of Cule­bra, an island on the U.S. Navy'sgunnery practice range.

The five prelates, ArchbishopLuis Aponte of San Juan andBishops Alfredo Mendez of Are­cibo, Fremiot Torres of Ponce,Rafael Grovas of Caguas andJuan de Dios Lopez, auxiliarybishop of San Juan, commentedafter an extraordinary meetinghere that they resolved:

"To share the legitimate con­cern of the people of Culebra fortheir safety and tranquility, en­dangered by the use of ·thatsmall island as a base for ma­neuvers and target ·practice."

The' bishops urged authoritiesto' "listen to the just outcry of·the inhabitants of that PuertoRican soil requesting permanentrespect for their rights and thefirm recognition of the ,superior­ity of the value of human, lifeover any other material value."

Culebra's residents are underfrequent fire from Navy long­range guns that periodicali>; shellthe 10-square-mile island. Island­ers claim that shells, occasionallyland in playgrounds, backya~ds

come to believe it. Now they arenot so sure. They have becomefearful, and the competition fromthe blacks scares them. Theyhave become .resentful of theblacks and the students.

Re21der's Digest MentalityThe priest thinks "the real

problem is lack of social con­science on' everyones part. Amer­ica is pervaded with !i 'Reader'sDigest mentality.' People are in­terested in learning how to makeit rather than how to be a per­son.

"On the spiritual end, thistranslates into individualism:Save your own soul, and to hellwith anyone else's.

of us' in the ethnic bag~' can,learn from blacks "about the im­portance Of cultural identity,"said a priest here who lias takena good hard look-in print noless-at how he came to thisopinion.

In the July issue of Washing­tonian, a monthly magazine pub­lished here, Msgr. Geno Baroniwrote that working class whiteethnics have not yet realized themany problems they have incommon with the blacks they're"so hung up on." He said he be­lieves there is an "untapped en­ergy in the .working class thatcould eventually ,lead to coalit­ions with the blacks. '

Immigran~'s SonHe based this opinion on his

experiences as an Italian immi­grant's son growing up in Penn­slvania mining towns, in latercivil rights endeavors and in hiscurrent involvement with ethnic­related struggles as director ofprogram development for theUnited States Catholic Confer­ence's Task Force on UrbanProblems.

Msgr. Baroni was responsiblerecently for the first Catholic­sponsored workshop on urbanand ethnic development.

In the magazine article he em­phasized many of the points hemade to nearly 100 communityleaders who attended the work­shop here. He blamed the eager­ness of ethnic groups "to makeit," for cutting off their Europ­ean roots too fast.

"Now we are discovering thatwe aren't all making it, and weare learning just how importantthose, roots are. We are begin­ning to celebrate our differencesinstead of insisting that every­body has to be the same."

However, Msgr. Baroni admit­ted that he's "scared to death"that accentuating the differencesmay lead to regression "like Hit­ler's Germany, trying to recap­ture the past by persecutingminorities and dissenters. ,

"That speech of Hitler's in1932 calling for 'law and order'gives me the willies. The fear isthere in the working class alongwith the independence' and theindividualism. Somehow we haveto transplant that ethic of work­ing hard and making it into the1970s," he added.

Discusses Ethnic BackgroundThe 39-year-old priest reminis­

ced about his ethnic backgroundby describing the food his familyate by necessity, but which sym­bolized their togetherness. Thefood was purchased at a com­pany owned store.

Now a constant dieter who haslost more than 40 pounds in' pasteight months, Msgr. Baroni re­membered how his family ate"mushrooms, snails, gizzard,tripe, brains, and dandelions ­Italian soul food.' We raised rab-'bits and caught squirrels. Rab­bit was my favorite meat. I ateit because that's what poor peo­ple ate."

However, he insisted, "althoughwe were materially poor, psycho­logically and culturally we werevery rich."

:rhe monsignor said his familycame to this country "with astrong family set up, a strongwork ethnic, fantastic cultureand a hope for life in America."Black families were different be­cause they "were scattered andtheir culture was ripped apart,"he added.

BROOKLYN (NC)-A lopsided81 per cent majority, respondi!lgto a Brooklyn diocese "opinion­aire," favored continued opera­tion of the diocesan grade andhigh school system despite risingcosts.

Msgr. Eugene J. Molloy, dioce­san secretary of education, saidhe was disappointed that only65,980 responded to the poll inwhich 580,000 forms were dis­tributed. There are 206,000 stu­dents in the diocese's 241 schoolssystem.

Dr. Bernard E. Donovan, plan­ning and research director forthe diocese and former superin­tendent of New York City publicschools, made' known results ofthe poll. Msgr. Molloy said. theschool system currently is oper­ating at a $5 million deficit.

The majority said tuition aloneshould not be the major basis forsupport of the school system.More than half favored parishand diocesan subsidies; 55 percent held the diocese should col­lect special funds for education,particularly from more affluentparishes.

Sale dissenter from the court­cil's adoption of a policy affirm­ing the principle of separation ofchurch and state was the Unionof Orthodox Jewish Congrega­tions of America, which alongwith Catholic gro'ups and others,seeks public funds to finance cer­taiJ:!' aspects of secular programsin church-reiated schools.

The council, a coordinatingbody of nine major national Jew­ish organization!>, condemned"purchase of secular service" as"indistinguishable in fact and ef­fect from state financing of re­ligious education." Such servicesusually involve the state's pay­ing part of the salaries of ,paro­chial school teachers.

Demands for secular servicesare "manifestly incompatiblewith the oft-repeated argumentsof parochial school advocates insupport of the:r refusal to sendtheir children to public schools,"the council upheld.

Before the delegates endedtheir annual meeting here, theyagreed that "equally lacking inmerit" was the argument that ifdenied public funds religiousschools would 'have to close,thus adding to the public taxburden.

The council also specificallycriticized a proposed "vouchersystem" which would permitstate grflnts to parents who coulduse them for children in publicor private schools.

"Personally I don't like them,"said Ethel. "I love the freedomand appearance of the shortskirts. The longer look is finefor hostess wear but for daytimedresses I feel that it's aging."

However, after Ethel and I haddiscussed this she did return tothe Newbury Street section ofBoston where she took note ofthe fact that everything, buteverything, that was coming infor Fall is heading downward.her own opinion, howeverI hasremained the same.

Coming !DownAnother women who always

looks quite elegant is Mrs. HenryFeitelberg of Holy Name Parishin Fall River. Mrs. Feitelbergfeels that skirts will lengthenbeginning in the Fall. "Coatsespecially will come down andthey will be worn with boots.Dresses will at least cover theknees. I plan to have most ofmy hems let down a little."

"Wear what looks good on youand what you feel comfortablein." This was the astute com­ment made by Mrs. Gilbert Oli­veira of St. Michael's Parish inFall River. Leah, who alwayslooks quite smart and certainlyknows what looks good on herfeels that a smart woman shouldknow herself (better than anyoneelse does) and for this reason sheshould be the one to know whenshe looks and feels well. LikeEthel, Leah feels that the midiskirts are aging. She ,went on tosav that the midi does look wellwith boots, but who wants towear boots all the time.

Confusion reigns but the con­sensus is that skirts are comingdown, gradually at least, and,that any new outfits that youbuy will be longer. Women whoreally are concerned with theirfashion image are still not' surethat this look is the look forthem. Only time will tell.

Lutherans ApproveWomen .in Ministry

MINNEAPOLIS (NC) - Ap­proval of women in the ministryhas been granted by a tradition~

shattering voice vote of dele­gates to the Lutheran Church inAmerica Convention here.

The action by the largest ofthree major Lutheran denomina­tions marked the first time aLutheran church body in thiscountry has voted to permit fe­male ordination on par with men.

Delegates, representing nearly3.3 million members, directedthat bylaws and constitutions ofthe 3 synods and 6,186 congre­gations be amended so that theword "person" be substituted for"man" in qualifications for ordi­nation.

After 25 minutes of brisk de­bate the measure received aroar of approval amid a fewbarely audible "no"votes. Dele­gates had turned down a moveto postpone the action until 1972.

There's little doubt in the minds of those people di­rectly involved with the fashion industry about the fashionoutlook for Fall. However, there does appear to be doubtin the mind of the consumer and this uncertainty has ledto a stunning decrease inthe purchase of clothes. Nowoman on a tight budgetwants to be caught payinga couple of hundred dollars fora good outfit only to find thatwhen Spring of 1971 rolls aroundthat she has to put it in the backof the closet because it suddenlyhas become outdated.

Orthodox PrelateUrges Autonomy,English Liturgy

NEW YORK (NC)-Archbish­op lakovos, head of the 1.8 mil­lion member Greek Orthodoxarchdiocese of North and SouthAmerica, ·has urged his denomi­nation to reverse a half centuryof tradition and switch to anEnglish liturgy in this country.

He also declared that hischurch must be granted moreautonomy by the Orthodox Ecu­menical Patriarchate of Constan­tinople (Istanbul) if it is to thrivein an American context.

The 58 - year - old primate,'speaking at his church's bien­nial Clergy-Laity Congress here,said both efforts would recognize"the American reality" for GreekOrthodoxy, the largest EasternOrthodox body in the Americas.

In an address to 1,000 law­making delegates Archbishoplakovos said the concept of dualloya1ties preserving both aGreek and American indentity"cannot be continued idefinite­Iy."

It is fact, he said, "that weare embracing new ideas andnew traditions. Our church isslowly but surely becoming anindigenous church."

Two ProposalsThe archbishop predicted "a

total alienation from our wor­ship" .and "a spiritual death ofOrthodox in America" unlessthere is reform of the fifth ,cen­tury Divine Liturgy to alI-En­glish ceremonies.

He informed delegates that heis submitting to appropriate com­mittees two proposals designedto make the church more' rele­vant to its American surround­ings.

The first would grant more"de facto autonomy" to the arch­diocese . This would free thechurch to speak on current is­sues. Its official positions nowmust be cleared by the archbish­op's immediate superior, Pa­triarch Athenagoras I of Con­statinople.

The proposal assumed addeddimension because of actionlast April when the Russian Or­thodox Patriarchate of Moscowgranted autonomy to a new Rus­sian Orthodox Church of Amer­ica. The Russians had expressedhope that this step would pro­'Vide the basis for a single au­tonomous church of all Ortho­dox Christians in this country.

Archbishop lakovos has ex­pressed hope that such a unifiedchurch will" develop out of theStanding Conference of Canoni­cal Orthodox Bishops in theAmericas, which he heads.

Presumably, more autonomyfor the Greek Orthodox archdio­cese would facilitate eventualunion with other Orthodoxchurches.

In other sections of his .state­of-the-church address, Archbish­op lakoyos described prospectsof parishes al)d institutions ofGreek Orthodoxy in the westernhemisphere as "good" but need­ing upgrading in religious edu­cation, social involvements andideological identification. ELECTRICAL

Catho~~c HelpFor Lebanese

NEW YORK (NC) - CatholicRelief Services (CRS), the over­seas relief agency of U. S. Cath­olics, and the Catholic Near E;astWelfare Association are provid­ing $20,000 worth of aid to morethan 40,000 Lebanese villagersuprooted by artillery warfare.

CRS has also shipped 50 tonsof clothing and three tons ofantibiotics from the UnitedStates to Beirut, and has ~r­

ranged for the shipment there of170 tons of powdered milk frompeople in the Netherlands.

The Lebanese villagers weredisplaced by extension of Arab­Israeli shooting also southernLebanon along Israel's nothernfrontier.

Msgr. John G. Nolan, presidentof the Pontifical Mission for Pal­estine, sister agency of the NewYork-based Catholic Near EastWelfare Association, said the re­lief effort was urgent "becauseinternational agencies such asthe hard-pressed United NationsRelief and Works Agency(UNRWA) are permitted onlymarginal assistance to war vic­tims who are not Palestinianrefugees."

"It's becoming increasinglyevident," Msgr. Nolan said, "thatthe prospects of a wider war inthe Holy Land grow in direct re­lation to the expansion of thecrisis of displaced persons."

He said Pope Paul VI has madea personal donation to the Pon­tifical Missions' relief effort insouthern Lebanon.

NEW YORK (NC) - Philip. Scharper, prominent editor,

writer and teacher, has beenappointed edito!-in-chief of Or­bis Books, pub:ishing house ofthe Maryknoll Fathers.

William A. Coleman, formerassistant vice-president of KingFeatures, was named director ofmedia relations of Maryknoll'srecently reorganized departmentof social communications.

Scharper until recently waseditor-in-chief of the Catholicpublishing firm of Sheed andWara. He was also assistantprofessor of English at FordhamUniversity and associate editorof the weekly Commonweal. Hehas written many articles forthe Catholic press and lecturedfrequently at Catholic univer­sities.

Coleman had served as asso­ciate editor of the AmericanWeekly, cational Sunday news­paper magazine. He foundedand headed Fordham's radio andTV division, directed the annualradio and TV institute of theColumbia Broadcasting System,and was a radio and TV consult­ant of the New York archdio-cese. •

The appointments were an­nounced by Father Miguel d'­Escoto, M.M., director of theMaryknoll social communica­tions departmer-t. who also citedthe reasons for its reorganiza­tion.

Mainly, he said, they are toimplement the Maryknoll Mis­sioners' basic purpose of en­couraging Catholics "to exer­cise their missionary responsi­bility of sharing actively in mak­~ng the Church an effective signof salvation in mission regions"and to "disseminate knowledgeof the peoples of mission lands,their problems and aspirationsfor truth, freedom, justice andpeace."

As she s'its in good light, plink­ing away with the stylus,her eyesare as steady as her hands arebusy, and if she looks up to an­swer a question, she first care­fully marks her place so that inan instant she can get back to .her industry again.

How does she program herwork? Sometimes the TrinityCollege depositary sends her spe­cial requests, but, as likely asnot, requests come also fromstudents who have heard of her.A Connecticut student wantedthe chapter of a difficult book onscience, a New Orleans studentwanted a transcription of a bookof prose and poetry, and a blindchild in Vermont needed a por­tion of a textbook that was a"must," if the child was to keepup' with the rest of his class.

Inspired by Others' Needs"To the uninitiated," Miss

Logan confides, almost in awhisper, "this work ~ight seemlike drudgery, but drudgery ithas never been. In fact, therewould be many books, that !might never have attempted ifsome other person hadn't neededthem."

Then she adds: "Who couldnot feel young again doing thepages of a history book for ablind girl in the ~hird grade ofa school at Rome, Georgia, orfeel meditative doing The Essaysof Alice Meynell or Gardeii's"Introduction to the Philosophyof Saint Thomas Aquinas."

HerJames D. Roche, S.J.

No "Sally-sit-by-the-fire" isMiss Martha T. Logan of Cohas­set, Mass. In what she humblycalls the "dedication of her eyes"she has completed in Braille her54th book for the blind. Herlatest accomplishment is the re­duction to Braille of Father Pat­rick J. Peyton's best-selli.ng biog­aphy: "All fcr Her".

What makes the feat evenmore remarkable is that MissLogan, sister of the' late andfamous Yankee Division leader,General Edward L. Logan,. forwhom the International Airportat Boston is named, was 84 onher last birthday, August 28. Shedescribes her age, and her friendsconfirm it, as "a spry 84."

Praising her, Father Peytonsays: "Martha. Martha .. like theBiblical Martha ... is busy aboutmany blessed things. What alovely part she plays! I don'tknow anyone, I think, who illu­minates the years of her senior­ity with such a blessed light andwith such copious radiance. Yes,and courage."

Trinity AlumnaWorking assiduously with her

stylus and Braile board, MissLogan, over. the years has com­pleted more than 18,000 Braillepages, most of which repose inthe library of Trinity College,Washington, from which she wasgraduated in 1909.

As she tells it, 1909 was awonderfullP'aduation year. TeddyRoosevelt was about to relin­quish the White House to Wil­liam Howard Taft, who had de­feated William Jennings Bryan.Commander Peary. had discov­ered the North Pole, and Bleriothad flown the English Channel.

Tiny Miss Logan, who liveson the Logan estate, "TheRidges," at 50 Jerusalem Road,Cohasset, chooses carefully thebooks she will reduce to Braille,and a survey of the sizablelibrary she has completed showsthe wide range of her interestsand the sensitivity of her tastes.

"I loved doing Father Peyton'sbook, 'All for Her,' all 612Brailled pages," she said. "It's allabout the priest who wants theworld .to pray the Rosary forpeace."

Special Insight to Rosary"A person who knows Braille,

and specially one who does it,gets a special insight to theRosary of Our Blessed Mother.In a way, the six dots of theBraille alphabet, from which theletters and numbers are formed;are a kind of Rosary. The raiseddots are certainly 'beads for'touching and holding,' she adds;"don't you think so?" and shelets you run your fingertips overa beautiful page she has justcompleted.

Continuing, she muses, "Thereis quite a program throughoutthe country asking people to do­nate their corneas, after death,for medical purposes. That is allvery wonderful, but while we areliving we can dedicate our eyesto those who have no sight. Ina way, this is what I am tryingto do.

"Helen Keller said years ago:'Without a language a person isnot a human being. And withoutspeech he is not a complete hu­man being.' By completing booksfor the blind, we give both lan­guage and speech. We let ourGod-given light stream into theminds of the less fortunate."

Among the Braille transcrip­tions accomplished by Miss'Logan are works such as PopePaul's "The Progress of Peoples,"John Fitzgerald Kennedy's "Pro­files in Courage," Harper Lee's

Favor ContinuationOf Catholic Schools

RIVERDALE (NC) - Resolu­tions calling for continuation ofthe Catholic· school system, aworldwide .study of problemsfacing youth and efforts to stemthe growing spread of relaxedabortion laws were adopted at ameeting of the Salesians of St.John Bosco here in New York.

Convoked by Father John J.Molloy, S.D.B., superior of theSalesians' Eastern province, thechapter meeting was attended by58 priests and Brothers, dele­gates representing Salesian in­stitutions in eight states andCanada.

The resolution on Catholicschools stressed the emphasis onspiritual values within the frame­work of the educational system.It emphasized that the systemshould continue as a healthycompetitor to the public schoolsystem.

Another resolution urged thatBrothers be made eligible formajor offices at every level inthe Salesian community. It rec­ommended that such action beconsidered at the next generalchapter meeting of the commu­nity.

Prelate StressesLiturgy Prayerf'or Catholics

ST. PAUL (NC)-"To incor­porate all things in Christ," Cath­olics must turn to the liturgy,prayer and public service, Car­dinal John Carberry of St. Louisdeclared here.

As keynote speaker at thesixth Wanderer Forum. the car­dinal said that all three elements,not one or two, are necessaryto overcome a growing secular­ism ;n the world.

Along with these efforts, op­timism is also necessary to over­come the existential thinking ofHeidegger, Camus and Sartrethat has taken its hold on mod­ern society, he declared.

fo reach. God, the Mass isstill the best prayer, said the

. cardinal who has celebratedmore than 15,000 Masses.

He advised the group, the ma­jority of whom oppose modernchanges in the liturgy to acceptthe new changes in the Mass be­cause the Pope "has reviewedand studied them."

'Desecration' of Liturgy

"Everyone must work to builda better world and to correctthe imbalance of wealth and theexploration of people," CardinalCarberry said. And the hierarchyare doing their part to bring thelove of God to the people andto defend the faith, he added.

All the bishops "want to enterinto a dialogue with the modernworld," to work on commonproblems, he said, but warnedthat without God there could beno lasting brotherhood of man.

In his sermon at a Latin di­alogue Mass, Bishop Albert L.Fletcher of Little Rock, Ark.,said the virtue of fortitude isneeded now "to pull us througha time when the Church is beingattacked from within and with­out."

The bishop said many sincereCatholics have been hurt by the"desecration" of the liturgy-byradical theologians and even bysome "authorized changes."

"But the method Louis haddevised of embossing coded re­lief points on paper by use of astylus was distinctly better thanValentin Hauy's raised printingand Charles Barbier's sono­graphic point system, althoughLouis was admittedly indebtedto both. Braille kept Barbier'spoint system and devised a wayof arbitrarily indicating lettersan<;l other signs by various ar-

, rangements of six dots, placedin an oblong, which permits 63varying combinations," she says.

Martha is glad that modernimprovements have made it pos­sible to produce press runs ofpopular works by multicopyBraille machinery. "The thingswe do now," she explains, "arereally called custom-Brailling.They are things that will nevercall for big press runs but whichwill always be in demand by ablind person somewhere, thePapal encyclicals, for example."

The Brailled books which Mar­tha has completed, all handbound, along with the. repositoryof other Brailled-books of theTrinity College library, are listedat the Library of Congress, atthe Xavier Library for the Blindin New Yopk, and at the Ameri­can Printing House for the Blind,in Louisville. Each book is animpressive, ' formidable thing."Someone 'will know that some­one has been working," Martha'jokes, "even if he's blind."

With the introduction of talk­ing books on records and tapes,and particularly the recent in­troduction of cassettes, Marthais frequently asked if the Braillesystem is not being out-dated,She has a ready answer. Sheexplains that many blind personsalso have impaired hearing.

Braille System Allows Meditation

"A book in Braille permits aperson to read or study at hisown speed and to review easily.Blind persons like to browse,too, and to meditate. This iswhere the books in Braille arean advantage," she adds, blessingat the same time all advanceswhich have made life ea~ier forthe blind. Older people also aredisinclined to change from asystem they have spent longhours mastering.

And so the bright-eyed, nim­ble-fingered little lady sits inher rooms at Cohasset, and whenshe lifts her gaze to rest hereyes or to meditate for _a mo­ment she can look far out ontothe broad, surging Atlantic,which is part, of her daily"heavenscape," (to use her des­criptive word). The morningpapers set aside, a Benningtonteapot close by, she quietlyplinks away at the Braille pageswith almost never an error.

And, later, as she prepares toretire, she probably hears theLord's loving words...... "Martha,Martha, you are careful aboutmany things . . . " and she mur­murs "Yes," knowing the prom­ise that to him who is faithfulin little things great things will -,be given.

As Rosemary Reuther pointsout in her latest book, "The Rad­ical Kingdom," he believes th~t

"His ultimate vision ... " sh~says, "is some kind of new sd­cialist revolution that will solvenot only the racial but the h~­man problem of man towardman, and usher in an era ofcooperation based on huma~

rather than alienated values," :My own reading, of Cleaver's

writings leads me-to concludethat this is an accurate summaryof his overall social philosoph~.

I

Pursuit of Gadgets

Cleaver's commitment to "anew kind of society and a newkind of economic system . ::.',a new form of socialism," de­rives, in part, from his convic~tion that under our present econ,omic system, a system of "com­petition rather than co~peraL

tion," the American people arecaught up in a mindiess rat race',"a dreadful and all-consumingurge" for material possessions.:

Like many non-socialists, heputs much of the blame for thison the advertising profession. Hewants to see "a society purgedof Madison Avenue mindbenderswho propagandize people into amad pursuit of gadgets" andhave "conned people into believ.ing 'that their lives depend onhaving ,an electric toothbrush;two cars and a color televisionin every room."

Rosemary Reuther thoroughlyagrees with Mr, Cleuver in thisregard and, if anything, is even 'more critical than he is of mod~

ern advertising, which she des­cribes as 'an octopus virtuallysurrounding the consciousness:of American society. She is par­ticularly critical of the constan~use of eroticism in advertising;selling, and personnel. In herjudgment, this is all part andparcel of the growing tendencyin the United States to "harness"men's instincts to a consume[\society, "thereby eliminating their:dissenting power."

Irreverent, Book

I must confess that, over the!years, I have always tended to',take this kind qf criticism of:modern advertising with a grain'or two of salt,not because I,disagree with the criticism as:such, but simply because I have:the instinctive feeling thattolp~t so much of the blame for!

our national ills on the boys inthe gray flannel suits, the so­called Madison Avenue crowd, isto oversimpylify an enormouslycomplicated problem.

By the same token, however,I must also confess that, havingjust finished reading a spirited

,defense, of modern advertising byone of its more successful andmore colorful practitioners, Jer­

°ry Della Femina, I am now muchmore inclined than i used to be _to go along with the kind of crit­icism directed at "Madison Ave­nue mindbenders" by people likeI;ldridge Cleaver and RosemaryReuther.

Mr. Della Femina, who, at thetender age of 34, heads up asuccessful Madison Avenue ad­vertising firm, is the author of

. one of the funniest and most de­lightfully irreverent -books everwritten about the advertisingprofession or any other profes­sion, so far as that is concerned.

It's entitled, for a very zanyreason explained in the book it­self: "From The Wonderful FolksWho Gave You Pearl Harbor"(Simon and Shuster, New York,$6.50).

Tasteless Vulgarity

Mr. Della Femina is a: highlysophisticated dead-end kid, a ref­ugee, if you will, from a streetcorner gang in good old Brook­lyn-which just has to be themost unlikely place in the worldto have done his boot trainingfor the non-stop rat race inwhich he is now involved in thegaping canyons of' mid-townManhattan.

He demythologizes dozens' ofsacred cows, gives away hun­dreds of hitherto carefully guard­ed trade secret!>, names all sortsof names, with obvious maliceaforethought, analyzes the em­ployment practices and the ec­onomics of his own profession'with the expertise of a trainedsocial scientist, and, in general,has himself a grand and glorioustime tellling almost incredibletales out of school.

He does all this, and more, ina spirit of hilarious and highlycontagious good humor, mixed,unfortunately, with a -certainamount of rather tasteless andtotally unnecessary vulgarity.

'Terrific Business'

In the end, however, when hisreaders are worn out laughing at

/4. JPLAYWllUGHT: Robert

Marasco is' a young play­wright whose first play"Child's Play;' is being ac­claimed on Broadway.' NCPhoto. .

his satirical impertinence aboutthe fads and foibles of his ownpeers, Mr. Della F.::mina moves infor the kill and strongly defendsthe advertising profession againstthe likes of Eldridge Cleaver andRosemary Reuther, although,needless to add, he doesn't referto them by name and, for thatmatter" may not even be aware.of what they have written abouthis chosen profession.

"It's very hip," he says, "toattack advertising right now andwe're vulnerable because we areso segmented." For·his own part,however, he will have none ofthis stuff about advertising beingresponsible for luring people in­to /'a mad pursuit of gadgets."

Cynical Role

He doesn't go so far as to saythat advertising is an integralpait of the great American wayof life, but, on balance, he doesfind it to be a "terrific business."

The trouble is, however, thathe unwittingly provides the El­dridge Cleavers and RosemaryReuthers of this world with awealth of evidence to supporttheir over-all criticism of the

. ,advertising profession.He demonstrates, for example,

that the unscrupulous use of er­oticism in advertising-includingsome of his own-is even morewidespread than Rosemary Reu­ther makes it out to be.

He also laughs (ha-ha) aboutthe fact that innocent customers-including, in one of his ownmore unscrupulous ventures, anumber of illiterate peons fromPeru' - have been conned intopurchasing gadgets that theydidn't need, couldn't afford, and,in the case of the Peruvian In­dians, couldn't even ·use "--' forlack of the necessary electricaloutlets - after they had beentricked into making their firstdown payment, thereby puttingthemselves in permanent hock.

It pains' me to say this aboutsuch a marvelously humorousand attractive 'human being asMr. Della Femina, but, in des­cribing his own role in this Peru­vian escapade, he comes peril­ously close to being downrightcynical, although he obviously,and rather pathetically, thinksthat he is being very funny., Ditto for his repeated referen­ces to his own equally cynicalrole in promoting the sale of newand completely unnecessaryproducts in the field of physical'hygiene.

Ask for Trouble

The crowning irony of all thisis that Mr. Della Femina repeat­edly says that the future, includ­big the future of advertising, be­longs to the younger generation,whose outright disdain for manyof the most cherished values ofthe present generation of adUltshe obviously admires. He predictsthat -they will inevitably takeover the a~vertising professionand ,remake it in their own modimage.

If he is right about that, theprofession is probably in for avery bad time indeed. And ifhis own highly amusing, butsomewhat cynical anthropologi­cal study of the profession isreasonably accurate, I can onlyconclude that what is in storefor the Madison Avenue crowdcouldn't happen to a nicer bunchof "mindbenders."

They have been asking for it,10 these many years-so let there

,be no moaning at their favoritebars in mid-town Gotham if andwhen the roof eventually cavesin on them.

Oppose. Changing,Mexico/s Laws

MEXICO CITY (NC) - Twoold-time Mexican politicians, in­cluding a former president, havevoiced opposition to changingMexico's existing anti-,Churchlaws.

Bishop Sergio Mendez Arceoof Cuernavaca had suggested adialogue on the laws with thecandidates in this year's presi­d~ntial elections.

Bishop Mendez had said thatthe anti-Church laws, which stemfrom the 1917 Constitution, arenot enforced and are largely ig­nored. (The Church, for example,cannot own property or runschools, but Ca~holic schoolsexist because they are registeredin the names of parent groups.)

This evasion of the law, BishopMendez said, is wrong because"we, the very -people who oughtto obey the laws, because theyare instrumehts of service, arethe ones who disobey those per­taining to religion."

Former President Emilio PortesGil (1928-30) called the sugges­tion for a dialogue on the laws"out of order," and Ignacio Ra­mos Praslov, one of the fewsurviving writers of the 1917Mexican Constitution, said that"bishops and priests should becontent with the present stateof affairs."

Release of F'riestsEases Tensions

BILBAO (NC)-Eight of thenine Basque priests arrested inJune for speaking out on so­cial and politicial issues havebeen released through a legaltechnicality and returned totheir parishes here in Spain. Theother, Father Jose Antonio Cal­zada, chose to qmtin,ue" serv.i~g

Favor OrdinataonOf Marri·ed Men

YAOUNDE (NC)---The bish­ops of Central Africa have ask­ed the Holy See for permissionto ordain married men to thepriesthood.

The request was made in aletter signed by ArchbishopPaul Damais, S.J., of Fort Lamy,Chad, president of the CentralAfrica Bishops' Conference, fol­lowing a decision of the con­ference's plenary assembly here.

In the letter addressed toCardinal Jean Villot, papal sec­retary of state, the bishops de­clared their 'support of priestlycelibacy. But the decline in vo­cations for the priesthood intheir territories, they said, hadcaused them to ask for permis­sion to ordain married menpriests in order to "answer themost elementary pastoralneeds."

The central African bishopssaid also that in their area "thevirtue of chastity is not yet un­derstood by all." For this rea­son, they added, priests shouldbe able to exercise their min­istry "in a .community life,which assures them of the spir­itual support and human equili­brium they need so much."

Politncal Disaster

5: Of all me nutty ideas gener­ated by the crisis the most nut­ty was probably the idea of clos­ing down university campusesfor two weeks before the elec­tion. One can think of no notionmore likely to antagonize, if notterrify the silent majority, andto deliver a right wing, hawkishmajority to Congress.

A number of faculty memberswith whom I spoke are wellaware of this, but they arguethat they had to go along with'the plan in order to maintainpeace on the campus, and hopethat by autumn there will bemuch less interest in this kindof "red guard" political action.As one faculty member pointedout to me, by then most of thekids may only want to playbasketball. A foolish hope!

That young people wouldwant to be engaged in politics

so fragmented and so bereft ofcoherent philosophy .that it didnot seem capable of taking ad­vantage of the opportunity thatthe administration offered it.

The new leftist leadership gaveits standard packaged speechesbut didn't seem to be able to takeany sort of active command ofthe direction or the nature ofthe protest.

2. The protesters this timearound were relatively differentkinds of students. The elite uni­versities-Harvard, Berkley, Uni­versity of Chicago-were rela­tivelv quiet, and the state uni­verisities, peopled for the mostpart by students whom the radi­cal New Left would view as"squares," that is to say, schoolslike Kent State and SouthernIIlinois-are institutions where,until recently, protesters and ra­dicals were only a tiny handfulof students.

Much of the new lrreed of pro· .testers are very similar to theEagle Scout, ROTC leader whowas murdered by the nationalguard in Ohio.

Must Discipline Lunatics

3. Most of the protest wasastonishingly peaceful thoughthe media characteristically play­ed up the violence and the dis­ruption. There was, given thescope of the unrest and the in­tensity of feeling, a remarkableamount of self-restraint.

Indeed, in many instances thenew leftists were elbowed outo( the way. The University ofChicago student newspaper, forexample, chose to denounce the.SDS as vandals and to admonishits' readers that they might justas well face the fact that moststudents in the university wereliberals who have permittedthemselves to be paralyzed byliberal guilt feelin~s and nowought to get rid of those guiltfeelings and seek out means ofliberal political action.

4. Neither students nor facultyhave yet demonstrated the. ca­pacity to restrain the more man­ic and violent of their member­ship. The philosophy which says"everybody does their ownthin~" mayor may not be tol­erable on the university campusbut when members of the univ·sity community propose to en­gage in political action whichwill influence the larger society,then they must lean either todiscipline their lunatic fringe orhave their good efforts go towaste.

in such an action is dangerouslyout of touch with what is goingon in substantial minorities with­in the country and is, be it noted,completely unaware of how nearexplosion college campuses havealways been during the monthof May.

2. The shooting of the stu­dents at Kent State and JacksonState was murder, committedperhaps in time of stress andstrain, but still the type of be­havior that simply cannot be tol­erated from the law enforcementofficers in any supposedly civil­ized country.

What is even more depressingabout it is that one can be quitesure that nobody is going to be'in any way punished for the mur­ders. We now exist in a situa­tion where students not only canbe beaten by law enforcementofficers without the officers fear­ing any legal reprisal, but theycan even be killed: tra~ic devel­opment for the Republic.

College Crisis

3. The polarization rhetoric inwhich various members of theadministration have from time totime engaged is inexcusable. Itmay be a way to win an electionor to keep one's rating high inthe public opinion polls but itis not a way to govern a nation.

The vice-president insists thathe will lower his voice when theleaders of the New Left lowertheirs. I hold no brief for suchloudmouthed new leftists asDavid -. Dellinger in his idioticspeech at the Ellipse protest, butthe point is that David Dellingeris not the Vice-President of theUnited States and is not respon­sible for holding a society togeth­er in a time of crisis.

With these observations asa framework, let me go on to anumber of comments about theCollege crisis itself.

Protesters Different

1. If, as I have said in pre­vious columns, the peace move­ment has played into the handsof the administratiQn by engag­ing in activities which werebound to antagonize the majorityof the country, so the adminis­tration played right into thehands of the most lunatic of thecampus radicals and delivered upto these radicals - much likeJohn the Baptist's head on asilver platter-the sympathies ofa very substantial proportion ofthe youthful population.

The one redeeming aspect ofall this is that the New Left is

Delicious? Yes! But' even more important, it's nutritious! mostAmericans enjoy a 'nutritious meal at least 'onc~l a' 'daybec'ausewe have learned the importance of a balanced diet. We know

·that to stay healthy, certain foods should be eaten and other foodsare to be avoided. We have learned to' shun an excess of fatsand carbohydrates, while storing up on high 'protein foods.'

But have you heard about "the Protein Gap"? Did you knowthat almost two-thirds of the world are suffering from malnu­trition-lack of protein foods? Did you know that it is possiblefor a person to look healthy and still be. undernourished? Didyou know that thousands of the world's poor are literally starvingto death, and that millions go to bed hungry every night? Didyou know that in some countries because of nutrition deficiencies,as many as 1/3 of the children die before reaching school age?

Lack of protein in one's diet has drastic effects. One's mind be­comes dull; reflexes are slower; the susceptibility to disease in·creases drastically; and one becomes generally apathetic.

This, in turn, can affect the whole economy of a developingnation. There is a vicious circle: lack of food-to feed the peopDe-to work for the country-to better themselves.'

America is a rich country. In contrast to most of the devel­oping nations,' we prodilce and consume tons and tons of foodeach year. Each American eats approximately 211 pounds of meateach year! In India the yearly average is only 4 Ibs. of meat perperson.

Yet, the great American Sin is not our superabundance ofnatural and economic resources. Rather, it is the fact that theindividual of our society refuses to believe' tl1at he can help,that· his single contribution can make a difference in the out­come of our world.

You can help! Your single sacrafice can change the world!Your offering can pave the way for missionaries who are tryingto feed the body as well as the soul. Your gift can begin to bridgethe "protein gap." Your donation can save a life! Please give now!

THE HAGUE (NC)-Togeth­er, the First and Second VaticanCouncils are the .expression ofthe authentic faith, CardinalBernard Alfrink of Utrecht ata Mass marking the seventhanniversary of Pope Paul's elec­tion as Pope, his 50th anniver­sary as a priest and the cen­tenary of the Constitution DeEcclesia Christi of the First Va­tican Council.

The Constitution De EcclesiaChristi defined papal primacyand infallibility.

Vatican I, Cardinal Alfrinksaid, gave the Bishop of Romehis unique place, in the com-

. munity of the faithful. VaticanII completes the First Councilby describing the role of thebishops in relation to the pri­macy of the Pope, the cardinalsaid.

Trusting Dialogue"No OI~e," Cardinal Alfrink

told those at the Mass, "has theright to force the Pope to makea decision that in conscien.cehe believes he cannot make. Noone will want to do so."

Cardinal Alfrink said that theproblems of the Church ,"canbe solved only in .a trusting andlovjng dialogue." ..

The apostolic nuncio to theNetherlands, Archbishop Angelofelici, attended the Mass.

Meanwhile, the Dutch bishopsissued a joint pastoral letterstressing the authority of theoffice of St. Peter.

The bishops urged DutchCatholics to support the Popeeven if they must include criti­cism. But· the bishops said thiscriticism must always be a pos­itive contribution to the life ofthe Church.

Once upon a time a young woman set out on the roadof her married life. She had few conveniences as we knowthem today. But, she was filled with hope, determinationand love. She knew the importance of doing all in herpower to love and care forher family. Each morning shewould carefully, prepare thefire. It did not seem· a diffi­cult chore, for her love made ita joy. She would shave tHe woodinto kindling; countless littleshavings she would heap ontothe hearth.

Defends PriestsIn Politics

WORCESTER (NC) - Priestshave the same inalienable rightas any American citizer.. to runfor political office, the diocesanweekly here declared in an edi­torial.

The Catholic Fr~e Press called"disconcerting" a poll of Massa­chusetts' third congressional dis­trict indicating that 30 per centof the voters felt it was "notproper" for a priest to run forpolitical office. Father RobertF. Drinan, S.J., Boston Collegeeducator, hopes to oppose Rep.Philip J. Philbin for that districtseat.

"Whatever else might be saidabout the quauifications of eitherCongressman Philbin or FatherDrinan or ljny (lther candidate inthe current campaigning acrossAmerica," the Free Press said,"it should be admitted that anyCatholic priest, as any other min­ister of religion, has a basic,inalienable right as an Americancitizen to make himself availablefor election to public office."

But the editorial said thatthough Father Drinan had a"human right" to run for office,"now that he ns in the politicalarena, he must be judged-asmust any other candidate-as apolitician and state~man, not asa priest."

"The conflict is between Israeland the Palestinians," not be­tween Israel and Egypt OT be­tween Israel and Syria, the p'ro­fessor emphasized.

He said that Israel must makeclear "its readiness to discusspeace terms not only with theArab states, but also with repre­sentatives of the Palestinians.He suggested "a discussion withthe Palestinians now underIsrael rule concerning the possi­bility of establishing a Pales­tinian Arab state on the WestBank and in Gaza."

While conceding inherent dif­ficulties in such negotiations, hesaid "that any settlem~nt of theArab-Israel conflict that doesnot deal with the problem ofPalestinian self-identity wi!! fallshort of the requirements of atruly peaceful ·solution."

Russia Unpopular

The answer to the first is,clearly: No. Civil wars requireenormous 'grievances and the de­spair and revolt of a sizeablesection of the people. Otherwise.what is there to assist?

Castro and Che Guevera foundthis out when they tried export­ing revolution in Latin America.There may be civil wars onAmerica's Southern frontiers butonly if conditions are as intol·erable as they were under Bat­tista. In that case, it is far betterto keep out.

The answer to the second isalso: "No'." Russia came intoEastern Europe under the bestpossible conditions, liberating thepeoples from Hitler's appallingoppression. Today, it is a safebet that Russia is more unpopu­lar there than anywhere else. inthe world.

Small peoples emerging fromcolonialism simply do not wantWhite Western" domination,American or Russian.. SmallAsian States do not want to berun from Peking--or Tokyo. Theidea of being the world's police­man is, in a sense, another vers­ion of the white man's burden.America should put it down asquickly as possible.

Containment in Europe

The answer to the last ques­tion--do Communist takeoversharm America's interests - de­pends upon the place where thetakeover occurs. Anywhere inthe developing world, the an­swer is: No. Nothing is at stake­neither investment nor trade norproperty--equal to the damagedone by such a conflict in Viet­nam.

Besides, trade is not interrup­ted and before long, the Com­munists are looking for jointventures and inviting Henry Fordto come and Inelp them buildtrucks and tractors.

No, the only place where aCommunist takeover would be athreat is the one place where acivil war would never bring itabout. That is Europe, and there,the policy of containment has' tocontinue because Russia is largeand unreliable and the whole in­tegrity of free society dependsupon protecting its motherland.

For t.he rest, not an interest isat stake as vital as keeping outof other peoples' civil wars andnot repeating any more Viet­nams.

skyism and every other kind ofway-out radicalism all round theworld, including the UnitedStates.

This point is c.losely connect­ed with the second argument.Those who fear the result of ne­gotiations claim that if Americawithdraws speedily enough to in­duce South Vietnam to make asettlement, no other threatenedgovernment will believe Ameri­ca's word again and civil wars,with Russian or Chinese back­ing, will break out all roundthe world and end with Commu­nist takeovers.

To this somewhat involvedand exceedingly pessimistic pre­diction, three questions must beput. First, do nations have civilwars just because outside influ­ences are at work? Second, dothey welcome and obey the out­siders, if victory is secured?Thirdly, does it matter to Ameri­ca if there are Communist take­overs?

Whether the North wouldhave accepted its provisions. weshall never know. Still misledby America, the South refusedand opened the catastrophic rout~

to renewed civil war. whichrages on and now threatens toengulf the rest of South EastAsia.

Let us look at the argumentsagainst seeking a negotiated set­tlement-which would, presum­ably, imply enormously strongpressure on the government ofSouth Vietnam to accept bothnegotiations and the participa­tion of other groups with realfollowing - liberals, Buddhists,Vietcong-in the shaping of thesettlement.

The first is that, however dis­guised, a negotiated settlementwhich brought Communists topower in the South-would pavethe way to a reunited Vietnamunder Communist control andthen, inevitably, to Communismin the neighboring states.

Russia, China Enemies

Is this so? Not necessarily.When the Communists took overChina in 1949, the "domino" th­eory was applied to their victory.With a quarter of the' humanrace now Communist and, in ad­dition, allied to Russia, Com­munist advance would be irres­istible-so the argument ran. .

What in fact has happened?Burma has gone its own con­fused way. Indonesia has mas­sacred its Communsts' - largelybecause they were Chinese. Noteven appalling corruption andmisery have turned the Philip­pines towards Communism. Indiapreserves its democratic consti­tution. All this has gone on for20 years.

In the interval, Russia andChina have become bittter ene­mies. If this is a Communiststeamroller, it seems also to gosideways and backwards and todrop pieces of machinery as ittrundles about.

There is nothing in its behav­iour to suggest that if Commu­nism, closely identified with Viet­namese nationalism, won in Viet­nam (largely because if its na­tional. anti-colonial appeal) anyirreversible tides would go surg­ing about anywhere else.

Pessimistic Prediction

It is worth a risk, anyway,especially when one considersthe degree to which Americaninvolvement in Vietnam encour­ages anarchism, Maoism, Trot-

Favors Vietnam SolutionBy Negotiated'. Settlement

The most constructive outcome of the Vietnam trag­edy would be a return to the principles of the 1954 settle­ment which was devised and agreed by the Great Powers­with the unhappy exception of America, misled at thattime by Mr. John FosterDulles' global anti-commu­nist crusade. This 'settlementallowed for popular consul-­tation in the North and Southbefore the reunion of the dividedcountry. It guaranteed the ex­istence and neutrality of the non­Vietnam parts of Indochina­Laos and Cambodia-and intro­duced an international controlcommission.

Most Britons, however, areopposed to such a development,the survey indicated.

Six public opinion researchinstitutions and a group of news-,papers and magazines conductedthe poll in Great Britain and thesix Common Market countries:Belgium, France, West Germany,Italy, Luxembourg and the Netlf-erlands. .. The 12,OOO-person sampling

was representative of the votingage population in each of thecountries surveyed.

Only 19 per cent of Britishvoters in the Common Marketcountries, the, survey showed,favored the political formation ofthe United States of Europe, theelection of a European parlia­ment by direct universal suffrAge,and the formation of a Europeangovernment.

The survey also showed thatyoung voters are decidedly moreenthusiastic about the unificationof Europe than older voters inevery country..

WORCESTER (NC) - Pastorsand their assistants have beenadvised by WorcE.ster BishopBernard F. Flanagan that theymust notify him before inviting"any other than a priest or dea­con" to preach in a church inthe diocese.

Bishop Flanagan's letter advis­ing the priests of the policy ,didnot mention. whether he mustapprove of preachers who are notpriests or deacons. A diocesanofficial said if the bisho'p ques­tioned an invitation to a particu­lar preacher, the policy ,wouldenable him to discuss the matterwith the pastor to reach a de­termination.

The bishop's letter stated thathis directive was being issued"in accordance with a resolutiontaken at a recent meeting of thesenate of priests."

Analytical Work Mussing,From" 'Cushing" Biograp'hy,.

John Henry Cutler is the latest to have ago at writinga biography of Richard Cardinal Cushing, and what hecomes up with, Cardinal Cushing of Boston (HawthornBooks, 70 Fifth Ave., New York",N.Y., 10011. $8.95), isnot very good. CardinalCushing is an extraordinaryman, and an extraordinarychurchinan. He is a greatsubject for a first rate writerwho has access to what must bea' rich treasure of primarysources. But such sources are notnow available, and probably theywill not be so during the car·dinal's lifetime. Mr. Cutler, more­over, is a pedestrian performer.

The materials on which he hasdrawn are mostly newspaper and,magazine articles. These. affordsome chronology of the Cushingcareer, excerpts from speechesby' him, and the observations ofpeople often either meagerly in­formed or not astute.

Insig~t Lacking

A mere recital ,of certain pub·licly recorded facts about thecardinal can be profoundly im­pressive. The amounts of money/which he has raised for in­numerable charities, for example,are probably unparalleled, andrare' is the, liberality withwhich he has assisted goodcauses of all kinds, especiallythe missions.

Again, there are the initiativeshe has taken in many fields, forexample that. of ecumenism.Others could be instanced, allevidencing his humanity ·and hiscourage, not to mention his in­domitable' industry despite cruelill health.

Such facts Mr. Cutler plodsthrough on page after page, inchapter after chapter. But whatis lacking is the insight or theartistry to compose a portraitwhich is clear and incisive.

Wrong Facts

It may be pleaded that the car­dinal says that he does not un­derstand himself, and that hehas sometimes been self-contra­dictory. But that does not ex­cuse the writer from the analyti­cal work missing from this book.

Even in the realm of facts, Mr.Cutler is frequently wrong. Forexample, Cardinal Spellman wasnot the primate of the UnitedStates, as here stated. Knightsof St. Gergory do not wear vest­ments, at least so far as I know.

Something of the unique Cush­ing flavor does come through,but the unique genius is not dis·tilled or defined, and the truestature of the cardinal is not de­termined.

Chur~h's lFuturle

Into which category can wefit Jean Davis Glynn's book An­swer Me, Answer Me," which issubtitled "What's the ChurchComing To?" (Bruce, 12 BarclaySt., New York, N.Y. 10008. $4.­95)? She appears in it under herown name, and what she reciteswould seem to be something inwhich she was directly involved.But then there are aspects of

Majority OpposesBusing for Balance

ST. LOUIS (NC) - Nearlythree-fourths of all Americansoppose busing children from oneneighborhood to another toachieve racial balance in schools,a recent Louis Harris poll re­vealed.

It showed that while Ameri­cans oppose school segregationby law by a clear 58 to 19 percent, they condone segregationby about the same percentageswhen it results from neighbor­hood living patterns. An over­whelming 73 per cent said theyoppose busing school children,according to the Harris opinionpoll.

In a cross-section survey of 1,­561 households, Harris foundthat only parents of black chil­dren favored busing by a rela­tively narrow 46 to 40 per centmargin.

He also found that a m.ajorityoutside the South condemnssegregation of schools by law.In the South 'Itself opposition tosegregation is expressed by a43 to 37 percent margin. Youngpeople are opposed to legislatedsegregation in every region, re­ported the survey.

Ordinarily these proced­ures take anywhere from twentyfive to more than a hundredyears.

In recent years, Popes Pius XI,Pius XII, John XXIII, and PaulVI had carried on correspon-'ence with Padre .Pio. Pope PiusXII sent an official representa­tive to the dedication of PadrePio's Hospital for the Poor(House for the Relief of Suffer­ing, San Giovanni Rotondo) in1956.

Although Brother Davis anti­cipated full $650,000 approval forfour months from now, the Nat­ional Conference of CatholicBishops (NCCB) made clear in astatement that approval of big­ger funds over a longer periodwould not automatically followfrom approval of the July-De­cember 1970 interim budget.

"That funding of the interimbudget of $45,716 was approvedby the executive committee ofthe NCCB," explained BishopJoseph L. Bernardin, NCCB gen­eral secretary.

"This approval, however, doesnot commit the Conference tothe larger three-program andbudget as proposed by the Nat­ional Office for Black Catholics.Only the entire conference (of allthe U. S. bishops) can decidewhat funding can be made avail­able after January I for the pro­posed program.

"That decision, like all othersof this kind, will have to bemade within the context of over­all obligations and limited re­sources."

In a letter ten days ago toFather Rollins E. Lambert ofChicago, board chairman of theNOBC, Bishop Bernardin said hisoffice would "do everything pos­sible" to help in setting up thenew NOBC office.

Bishops Fund OfficeFor Black Catholics

J

BROTHER JOSEPH DAVIS, S.M.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Thenation's Catholic bishops movedto bring new life to the Church'swork with America's blackswith the announcement of theirfunding of the National Officefor Black Catholics.

Launched with an interim bud­get allocation of $45,716 andheaded by Brother Joseph Davis,'S.M., the new office here isdevoted "to the liberation ofblack Catholics." It is the re­sult of two years of planningand petitioning by members ofthe Black Catholic Clergy Con­ference, the National Black Sis­ters' Conference, and represent­atives of black Catholic laycaucuses. I

Impetus for the NOBC, Broth­er .Davis told NC News, camefrom a growing realizationamong black priests and blackCatholics generally that "theChurch was at a critical stagein the black community."

ConvertsFor example, he explained,

"there are only 800,000 blackCatholics in the United States.Black converts to Catholicismare rare today. There is a lackof black vocations. Both of thesefacts come from the Church's

'loss of credibility among blackpeople. We don't' see the mes­sage of Christ in operation inthe United States.

"The NOBC is an effort torevitalize the Church in theblack community, as an institu­tion for and about black people.It will be devoted to the libera­tion of people, black and white ..In short, it will give black Cath­olics-especially black priestsand Religious-a chance to beabout our father's business."

HistoryNOBC can <J>trace its history

back to the first meeting ofthe Black Catholic Clergy Cau­cus in Detroit in April, 1968.Black priests and Religious dis­cussing their role in the Churchand the Church's role in thelives of the nation's blackscame to thre'e conclusions:

A revolution was sweepingthe black community.

The Church seemed to be un­aware of the revolution and itsimplications.

As a result, the Church wasin danger of losing what littleground it had won among thenation's blacks.

Headquarters

According to Brother Davis,the NOBC plans to open a na­tional headquarters here andfour regional offices. Each of­fice will provide technical as­sistance for black and white in-

sions with heavy bomber loads.Although it is capable of air-to­air combat, its navigational andelectronic equipment are design­ed for attacking targets on theground.

"The MIG 21 supplied toEgypt by the Soviet Union isprimarily a fighter interceptor.Its range is significantly shorterand its armaments and fire con­trol systems are designed forknocking down other aircraft inair-to-air combat."

Recently, United Nations Sec­retary General U Thant in effect asked the U.S. not to sup­ply more Phantom and Skyhawkjets to Israel contending thatmore "offensive" arms can onlyimpede progress toward peace.

Father McDermott said that"recent escalation on the partof the Soviet Union" in the Mid­East conflict "is a corollary toa prior escalation on the part ofIsraeL"

Invasion, DefenseThe Israelis "have looked up­

on their invasion of the air overEgypt as a defensive move tokeep the Egyptians off guard sothat they could not build uptheir offensive forces."

What is problematical, Fa­ther McDermott aded, "is theconfusion as to what constitutesan invasion on the one handand legitimate defense on theother. I,

In view of that confusion, "ifarmaments are to be suppliedto Israel, it might be far moreadvantageous in the long runthat they be of a defensive na­ture if they are to offset the sup­posed advantages gained byEgypt in the recent Soviet build­up," he said,

He believes there should beincreased diplomatic' efforts toreestablish a: cease-'fire whichhas been violated repeatedly byboth sides.

"Escalation of offensive capa­bilities is to no one's advantage.As in Vietnam, a political ratherthan a military solution is ulti­mately the only answer," hesaid.

Public School AidAlso creating doubt is the ef­

fect of arguments over pendingproposals to aid public schools.Assemblyman Ewing, MajorityLeader Barry T. Parker and Sen.William T. Hiering, head of theSenate education committee, allhave expressed the opinion thatfailure of the public school billwould wipe out the chances ofpassing the private school meas-

, ure.The public school bill is con­

troversial in its own right. Ruraland suburban legislators are op­posed to it as it stands becauseis is weighed in favor of urbandistricts. Further, there is dis­satisfaction with the $30 millionprice tag since a legislative com­mission recommended pumping$180 million into the publicschool system.

Some legislators have expres­sed the view that the $9.5 millionproposed by the governor, forprivate schools ought to go topublic schools.

Other leaders believe the issuehas been clouded by the recenttax federal district court decisionupsetting the Rhode Island lawproviding assistance to parochialschools.

The pending New Jersey meas­ure is similar to that law becauseit would provide funds for thepayment of part of the salariesof teachers giving instruction insecular subjects. Payments wouldrange from 20 to 60 percent,with higher amounts going toschools serving disadvantagedareas.

But the New Jersey proposalwould also give textbook assis- •tance, providing $10 per pupil onthe elementary level and $15 onthe secondary level for the pur­chase of texts being used in thepublic schools.

Sees COll1tradictionPosition on

in Senators'Vietnam, Middle East

WASHINGTON (NC)-UnitedStates senators should clarifytheir motives in urging jet salesto Israel while at the same timedecrying bombing of North Viet­nam, a priest said here.

Many of the senators who re­cently voted 59-1 in favor of anamendment urging support forPresident Nixon in sendingarms to Israel are the same sen­ators urging an end to the warin Vietnam in letters to Pre'si­dent Nixon and the Secretaryof State William Rogers, saidFather Patrick P. McDermott,S.J. in a personal statement.He is assistant director forpeace, United States CatholicConference Division of WorldJustice and Peace.

He said both the Vietnam andMiddle East situations are suf­ficiently complicated "that onecould take a position to decreasethe level of armaments in Viet­nam and increase the level inIsraeL" However, the priest add­ed, the senators' who have thissplit-position woqld be "more'consistent with the intention toresolve conflicts, if the UnitedStates were supplying defensiveweapons to Israel instead of of­fensive ones."

What should "bother some- ofthe anti-war senators who sign­ed letters to the Nixon adminis­tration, is that the logic whichthey decried in the bombing ofNorth Vietnam and the invasionof Cambodia is the same logic'that is often used to justify thesale of jets to Israel-that is,the best defense is a good of­fense."

The priest explained there is"significant difference" in theF-4 Phantom jets supplied by theU.S. to Israel for use in groundattack and bombing and theMIG 21 supplied by the SovietUnion to Egypt "primarily fordefensive air-to-air combat."
