"We have hopes of gettingpeople involved in the diaconalwork of the Church that hasbeen lost," Bishop Unterkoeflersaid. "Bishops have lost it;priests have lost it; lay peoplehave lost it. And there is a hopein this that it is concretized in avery broad way,except that we'reworking within a framework thatgives us sufficient impetus. .

"The idea of what· these menare to do is as diversified, aswe can imagine. When an orderis given in the Church it becomesuniversal in the ministry of theChurch itself."

"We are not going to say thatthese men are to be teachers,or solely preachers, or that theywill be confined to the altar.They are going to meet the needsof humanity, not just churchpeople," the bishop continued.

"With the nucleus we have,we can not only fire the imagi­nation and the spirit of man;but we can shed, as Christians,some of the things we are hungup on. We're in a fix, a fixa­tion situation. That is, there's alot of tension in the life ofchurches today. As one of thepriests said at the table today,'This is a clean field.'

Prelates Pre'sent'Land Reform Plan

BRAZILIA (NC) - While agroup of Brazilian bishops havepresented an unexciting agrarianreform plan to the government,division' exists among the bish­ops concerning the sincerity' ofthe government's desire to im­plement such reforms.

The plan was .presented toBrazilian President Artur daCosta E;Silva by the bishops of

.the states of Rio' Grande do Suiand Santa Catarina, headed by'Vicente Cardinal Scherer ofPorto Alegre.

One feature of tJ:le plan, gen­erally containing nothing new,was the indication that in thestate of Rio Grande do Sui, thearea known as Litoral Sui, bord­dering Uruguay, deserves prior­ity in the implementation ·ofagrarian reform. The state, thesouthernmost in Brazil, is thenation's breadbasket and prime

. raiser of cattle.The bishops also pointed out

that the 'technical aspects ofagrarian reform are not withintheir responsibility and thatthey only desire to define themoral standpoint that shoulddirect the implementation of thereform.

Campus ConsensusGovernment Model

DENVER (NC)-"Campus con­sensus" must set the normsby which universities will be

. governed, Father Patrick. H.Ratterman, S.J., vice president

. for student affairs at XavierUniversity, in Cincinnati, saidhere.

Speaking at a Jesuit Educa­tional. Association workshop atRegis College, Father Rattermandeclared that the consensus formof decision-making was alreadywell under way in large sectorsof the academic community.

He denied that this represents"capitulation to student power"but said it was rather the "idealnorm" for the school whichseeks to prepare youth to takean active part in a democraticsociety.

Announce TimetableFor New Liturgy

ROME (NC)-The Holy Seehas notified national episcopalconferences that the new ritesfor the baptism of children,scheduled to nave gone into ef­fect Sept. 8th, will now becomemandatory only as of nextEaster, March 29, 1970.

The Congregation of DivineWorship granted the extensionat the request of several episco­pal conferences to permit prep­aration of translations.

However it was also specifiedthat as of Sept. 8, both the newand old rites may be used, butas of Easter, only the new riteis to be used. It was also madeclear that when the episcopalconferences have prepared thetranslations in their own lan­guages, they may require useof the new rite even beforeMarch 29, 1970. .

He automatically assumed thepost when this year's reunionconcluded in Buffalo, N.Y., afterhaving been electeq vice -presi­dent last year. His responsibili­ties as president will involveplanning the group's annual re­union to take place in Washing­ton next year.

Bishop Co~firms

His MarriageBishop James P. Shannon,

who recently tendered his resig­nation from the post of auxiliarybishop of the Minneapolis-St.Paul archdiocese, has confirmedthat he married Ruth ChurchWilkinson in Endicott, NewYork, on Aug. 2 before a minis­ter of the First ChristianChurch. He is Mrs. Wilkinson'sfourth husband. .

The couple will take up resi­dence in Santa Fe, New Mexico,where Bishop Shannon has ac­cepted the post of vice-presidentat St. John's private non-denom­inational college.

The Bishop said that he wouldnot leave the Catholic Church.He also indicated "that I haveno intention of trying to func­tion as an underground cleric,that I would gladly serve any­where in th::l world as a marriedpriest if this could be permitted,and that I have no intention ofleading or joining any movementwhich seeks to hurt theChurch."

The Bishop's action is seenas a cause of great embarrass­ment to those of his supporterswho rallied to him at the timeof his resignation last Novem­ber. The whole - incident wasclouded in confusion with cer­tain information being releasedto the press by the Bishop whilearchdiocesan officials were keep­ing silent out of respect to him.

Throughout the whole matterthe Bishop has been indicatingto his supporters that he wasan anguished man and has beenasking that they not make acause celebre out of him. Hehas repeatedly affirmed thefriendship of archdiocesan offi­cials for him.

Last September the Bishopwrote to Pope Paul that hecould not give internal and ex­-ternal assent to the papal en­cyclical Humanae Vitae.

Lauds House ActionOn Education Aid

WASHINGTON (NC) - Thepresident of the National Cath­olic Educational Association haspraised the U.S. House of Rep­resentatives for boosting 'fed­eral aid-to-education proposalsby $1 billion.

"The action of the House inappropriating increased fundingfor the federal commitment tothe education of our nation'syouth is indeed gratifying," saidFather C. Albert Koob. "NCEAsincerely applauds the House inits wise recognition of a press·ing national need. Its actionheartens our educators and par­ents at a time when encourage·ment is sorely needed,"

Chilean BishopsStudy Agenda

SANTIAGO (NC)--oppositionto the Chilean government'sbirth control program, an im­plied defense of an apostolicnuncio's right to live in an ex­pensive house; an appeal forliturgical unity, and a defenseof the status quo on priestlycelibacy are features of a doc­ument issued by the ChileanBishops' Conference after ameeting here.

The bishops' conference metto study the agenda of thesynod of the world's bishops tobe held in Rome in October. Atthe synOd, Bishop Jose ManuelSantos Ascarza of Valdivia,president of the Chilean Bishops'Conference, will present theconference's views on collegial­ity, the relations between na­tional bishops' conferences andthe Vatican, and the responsibil­ities of the Church in Chile inthe face of national problems.

The bishops' conference'sstatement stressed unity withthe POp'e in its remarks on birthcontrol. The bishops stated thatthey are in complete disagree­ment with the birth control cam­paign being conducted by theChilean Ministry of Health.

"We ratify," the bishops said,"our unconditional agreementwith the Supreme Head of theChurch who recalled in the en-

. cyclical Humanae Vitae theChristian meaning of matrimonyand. the need to obey the lawof nature and who criticized theuse of artificial anti-conceptivemeasures."

After discussing changes inthe society and in the Church,the bishops appealed in theirstatement for unity irt theChurch. ,

Catholics, they said, "shouldbe united to the successor ofPeter, and should reject any at­attempt to weaken or break thecommunion between our partic­ular Churches and the Churchof Rome,"

Meeting in convention here,some 30 of the Ham operatorsexchanged experiences and dis­cussed ideas for promotingtheir association founded in1963 by Father Daniel Linehan,S.J., seismologist at WestonObservatory in Massachusetts.

Primary goals of the organiza­tion, which has 300 paid mem­bers, are to assist in providingcommunication facilities tomembers or organizations en­gaged in 'missionary work orvolunteer services; to provideradio service and communica­tion for the community intime of local emergency or dis­aster; and to further interna­tional good will.

"We probably have about1,000 members all over theworld," Father Linehan said,"but only 300 have actuaIlypaid dues. OriginaIly we wereknown as the Catholic MissionRadio Association 'with onlypriests and Religious as memobers.

"But we soon realized thatsuch a membership was imprac­tical so now it is open to every­one who has such an interna­tional interest at heart,"

Says Insta IlationCeremony likeMo'rriage Rite

SAN ANTONIO (NC)Archbishop Francis J. Furey,installed as Ordinary of theSan Antonio archdiocese,told his new flock that the cer­emonies of instaIlation are likea marriage, with the exceptionof its duration.

Archbishop Furey, 64, notedthere are two outward signs­the coat-of-arms and the bish­op's ring-which indicate unityand loyalty-similar to a mar­riage rite.

"Today, on this solemn oc­casion of my wedding to thegreat archdiocese of San Anton­io, I pledge my loyalty to God,to Christ, to His vicar on earth,Pope Paul VI, to the clergy andto the people of God of thisarchdiocese.

"I am sure all of us will keepfaith with one another in un­broken loyalty, and so live to­gether always in mutual love,"Archbishop Furey said.'

"Not knowing (and perhaps'not caring) what the. future

, holds in store for us, we have'taken each other today for bet-­ter, for worse, for richer, forpoorer, in sickness and inhealth," he continued.

"Here there is a slight butsignificant variation from the'marriage ritual. I do not say.'until 'death do us part,' but, Iquote the motu proprio, Eccle­siae ,Sanctae, '(until) not laterthan at the completion of my75th year of age,'

Sees Faith Stronger"Of course, none of us has

any guarantee that he will bearound to see the completion ofhis 75th year of age. But, if Iam still here, and you are stillhere, that will mark the end ofwhat I hope and pray will bethe most happy and blessed wed­ded life together!"

Referring again to the mar­riage ritual, Archbishop Fureysaid the most significant wordsare faith and· love, and, that noone can live without faith. Yet,there are times when headlinesindicated that faith is withering,tottering or is in peril, and whenfaith is nQt all' one might wishit to be, he said.

"But the faith of our fathersis living still, perhaps not inspite of dungeon, fire and sword,but because of these things,"the newly-instaIled archbishopsaid. "Our faith is being testedand proved like gold-only itis more precious than gold. Truefaith is a stranger to fear. Whenthe time of testing and trial isover, faith will be stronger thanever," he declared.

Of ReligionRUTLAND (NC) - Vermont's

Commissioner of Education, Dr.Harvey Scribner, believes thatreligion should be a part of theeducational life of the child, andfeels that society is poorer forneglect of this experience.

The commissioner expressedhis views at an informal meetingwith the incorporation of theVermont Religious EducationFoundation, an interfaith ventureconcerned with the establish­ment of quality religious educa­tion programs around the state.

Scribner said he would givehis backing to their proposal,.which was discussed at the meet­ing, for legislation to provideperiodic released time for re­ligious education purposes.

In discussing the possibilitiesof actuaIly teaching about re­ligion in public schools (for ex­ample, comparative religion andhistory of religion courses), hesaid that "when we reach ourhighest point, (in l:ducation) itwill be included."

By neglecting religion in edu­cation he' said "we are remissin our' responsibility to youth,and we should move to fiIl thisvoid."

The group polished a proposalwhich it expects to submit tothe legislature next ,January,calling for "a program wherebypublic school students are re­leased from school to attend re­ligious education courses' atleast once a week."

It stipulates that "such re­ligious education courses (will)be sponsored by and given underthe authority of a religiousgroup."

In lending his support to theproposal, Dr. Scribner said hethought the time was right forsuch legislation. In referring tohis stand against state aid toparochial schools, he said, "Thisis not consistent with my beliefon what children need. It is rath·er a question of meuns."

Favors ReleasecJl TimeHe said he saw no problems

with the concepts of religiouseducation outside public schooldomain, but with public schoolcooperation, stich as releasedtime. He emphasized the, needtoday for quality religious edu­cation, and favored released timeas a starting point.

"Any effort you people canmake to bring this about," hetold the VREF members, "will begreat." But he warned them theycould expect "lots of problems."

Dr. Scribner helped the groupto pare back its proposal to itsbroadest "acceptable terms." Hewas particularly influential indefining "periodic" to mean aperiod during the day, and estab­lishing frequency of released timeas "at least once a week.". He warned the group that the

proposal could not be written insuch a way as to aIlow for nolocal cooperation. "What wewant the legislature to do isestablish that the child has thisright. The amount of time andwhen, is up to the towns in­volved."

Provide Prime TimeThe ultimate aim of the VREF

proposal is a sophistkated con­cept of released time, patternedon the Bennington Religious Edu­cation Foundation's experience,to provide prime time when stu­dents can take elective religiouseducation courses, sponsored byreligious groups and held out­side the school proper.

The proposal caIled for "Peri­odic released time religious edu.cation courses incllided, at theinitiative of the religious group,along with public school cata-

Fund for AfricaLin'ked With SaleOf Property

ROME (NC) - Almostlost in the flood of events ofthe .visit of Pope Paul VI inAfrica was his last minuteannouncement that he wouldestablish a development fundfor Africa similar to the one heestablished after his visit toLatin America.

The Pope disclosed his inten­tion to establish a special fundfor Africa at the end of hisfarewell talk to clergy andfaithful in Kampala. He did notspecify exactly how much thefund would amount to.. but lim­ited Himself to saying it wouldbe as ample as possible.

The fund he established forLatin America was $1 million.He al~o announced he was giv­ing $200,000 to· the Africanbishops for the training ofcatechists throughout Africa.

While the Pope did not speci­fy the amount he intends todevote to development inAfrica it is known that theVatican is seeking to sell one ofits ancient properties in down­town Rome.

Function EliminatedThis is the 16th century pal­

ace of the Apostolic Datary nearthe Quirinal Palace, one of thepopes' residence and now theofficial residence of the presi­dents of Italy.

In past centuries the office ofthe cardinal datary was veryimportant, dealing as it did withmany affairs involving revenuesand ecclesiastical benefices. Inrecent centuries the datary hasbecome increasingly less impor­tant, so much so that in themost recent reform of theRoman Curia the datary's func­tion was eliminated completely.

The palace is composed ofthree floors and contains ap­proximately 370,000 'square feet.It is estimated that the building,if a buyer is found, would bringa good deal more than $1 mil­lion.

While there has been no an­nouncement that there is anyrelation between the selling ofthe datary palace - and noteven that has been made public-and the African developmentfund, it is known that Pope Paulhas indicated that he wants todivest. the Church of propertiesnot: in actual use by the Churchto pay for programs such as theLatin American fund and thatfor Africa.

"I ·think our community prayerlife here and the liturgy-FatherColeman Conley (director ofRegina Pacis Center) says Masshere every morning - draw uscloser.

"This is where our strengthlies. Then we're able to go outinto the community and becomepart of it."

The Sisters of Mercy commu­nity .as a whole "feels sistersdo their best work in placeswhere they feel they can best.bring the kingdom of God to thepeople," Sister Rosellen says.

"But this is all experimental.We just don't know."

Currently, the New Bedfordgroup is one of seven Mercy nunteams living in the areas inwhich they He teaching and get­ting "involved" with the peoplewith whom they wor-k.

During the Summer, SisterRosellen and Sister Dositheahave been "involved," for in­stance, in the Summer programsponsored by Regina Pacis thatmade Summer brighter for ap­proximately 250 children, mostof Puerto Rican ancestry. ThE'program was financed with afederal grant.

"If we did nothing else," saysSister Rosellen, "we had a greatdeal of success in helping chil­dren complete projects theystarted. It was the first timesome of them had ever finishedanything. They saw their workon display and went home witha lot of satisfaction."

Last year's experiment beganwith qualms. This year's effortis different-Sister Rosellen andSister Dosithea know what thejob involves and are looking for­ward eagerly to the start ofschool in September.

Their experience could opena new door for members of theirreligious community.

However, the five nuns foundcommunication is as much amatter of love and interest asit is language and through aconcentrated effort, they devisedways to get across their points.

"It was amazing how muchthey learned," Sister Rosellensays now. "Little Frankie didn'tknow a word of English - andthe other day I met ,him withhis little sister. She's only four,but she beamed at me and said,'Hi, Sister Rose.' I know Frankiehas been teaching her."

Be that as it may, SisterRosellen admits she. "reallywanted to go another year,knowing what I do now."

With the continuing influx ofPortuguese-speaking youngstersinto the city school system,teachers preparing them forregular classes are ~ expected tobe in demand for some time tocome.

Sister Rosellen and SisterDosithea feel their work is im­portant both to the childrenthey teach and to their order.

ProgramBy Patricia Francis

Last Fall-habits and all- five Sisters of Mercy stepped into public school class­rooms in New Bedford to inaugurate an experimental program designed to "find out"and to finance. The "finding out" was one of the order's steps toward renewal, learningby trying whether' nuns can be effective working with youngsters and their parentsin the so-called "inner city"areas. The "funding" wasequally important. The sal­aries paid the five nuns­all assigned to the federally sub­sidized non-English speakingprogram - helped defray ex­penses of 60 novices attendingcollege.

The first five were "asked"to accept the assignments, asharp break with the pattern ofcommunity life that had pre­vailed in the order until then.None knew whether the experi­ment would prove valuable­but all were willing to try.

Last week, the two survivorsof the quintet, Sister Rosellen,coordinator for the five-nunteam, and Sister Dosithea, for­mer 5th Grade teacher at HolyFamily School, talked abouttheir school year experiencesand their hopes for the future.

The other three nuns askedto return to convent life as theyhad known it. "Two felt theyneeded more preparation forthis type of work. They felt itshould be on a volunteer basis,"Sister Rosellen explained.

Sister Rosellen and SisterDosithea volunteered for an­other year. They will be joinedin September by three new re­cruits, Sister Mary Margaret I •

Smith, coming from the Tyler :School in Providence, and Sis- L,tel'S Marianne Boumenot ofWesterly and Sheila Harringtonof New.Bedford, both new grad­uates of Salve Regina College.

The "year that was" was anexperience Sister Rosellen andSister Dosithea are not likelyto forget.

"I like it," Sister Rosellensays enthusiastically, referringboth to the youngsters, mostof them Portuguese immigrants,and to "living among the peoplewith whom we work."

This year, the five nuns willmake their home in a three­family house at 232 Rivet Street,located between St. HyacinthChurch and Our Lady of Mt.Carmel Church and just fourshort blocks from the ReginaPacis Spanish Speaking Centerwhere they work with PuertoRican youngsters after schooland during the Summer. Theirtemporary "convent" will be thesecond and third floor tene­ments.

"A lovely older couple aremoving into the first floor," Sis­ter Rosellen says. "We've al­ready met them."

For Sister Dosithea, the moveinto a public sct)ool classroomwas not a new experience. Amember of the order for 25years, the former Mary Callery

,taught in the New Bedfordschool system 17 years beforeentering the convent.

"I was at the Cedar Grovp.and then at the Hannigan for 10years," she says. "It was likegoing back home again."

Sister spent last year at theAcushnet Avenue School whileSister Rosellen taught at theDeValles School, to which she

. expects to return in September.Sister Dosithea has requestedassignment to the CliffordSchool.

Neither of the nuns speaksPortuguese ("Nor did my aide,"Sister Rosellen injects) and bothfeel that an advantage ratherthan a disadvantage.

Bishops StressedWelfare Reform

WASHING.TON (NC) - Pre'si­dent Nixon's proposals forsweeping welfare reform fre­quently touched' upon issuessingled out by the Catholicbishops of the United States intheir pastoral letter, Human Lifein Our Day, issued last Novem­ber.

The bishops' recognition of aneed for a "family allowancesystem," their condemnation ofwelfare's "man in the house"rule, and general concern forfamily stability were discussedby Nixon when h,e addressed thenation.

The president, calling the pres­ent welfare system "a colossalfailure," proposed a new, fam­ily assistance program," ~hich

"aims at getting everyone ableto work off welfare rolls and on­to payrolls." Work incentivesplaya key role in Nixon's pro­posal.

His proposed welfare reformwill provide direct federal pay­ments to all families with chil­dren and with incomes belowstipulated amounts. The programis expected to initially cost $4billion, but Nixon expects thisamount to decrease each year asmore jobless persons are addedto payrolls.

Family' AssistanceThe full implications and ramifications of President

Nixon's family assistance proposals are still to be evaluatedby experts in the social welfare field.

There has been so much concern over welfare's spi­ralling costs and bleak future that the pattern had to bechanged and this may well be the beginning of that change.

The immediate reaction to the President's progr.amis that this is a long step forward to recognizing that wel­fare must not only help individauls in need but it mustpreserve the family unit and stability.

The President's family assistance plan faces up to theneed of a family allowance not only for the poor but forthe working poor who simply subsist on what can beearned. It encourages the family to stay together and keepsthe father in his proper place as resident head of the family.

In their pastoral letter of last November, Human Lifein Our Day, the Catholic Bishops of the nation touchedprecisely on many of the points that the President men­tioned. This indicates that many of those concerned withfamily assistance had seen the inadequacies' of existingprograms and had realized what was needed to do thejob better.

The proposal that working persons be assisted if theirpresent incomes prove inadequate is a needed and imag­inative step. The encouragement to retrain for better po­sitions can open the door to those who have become dis­courged by being frozen in the same job- classificationsimply because there seemed no way to get out withoutcoercion, people are given the means to better their lotand to assume funer responsibility and this contributesto their character as. well as to the betterment of theirfamilies.

The whole tone of the President's message is one thatis postive-it aims at strengthening family unity and sta-bility. .

This is most praiseworthy and desirable.

Prison System~e Chief Justice of the United States, Warren E.

Burger, has called 'for reform in the prison system of thecountry. And he pointed out that Christ' in His teachingaimed at the redemption of sinful men.

Prison has always been considered a place where theguilty are both punished for wrongdoing and rehabilitatedto take up again a legitimate place in society. Permanentincarceration is reserved for those who are so beyond pos­sibility of change. that society must be permanently pro-tected against their ravishing. .

The Chief Justice called for exploration of limitedimprisonment and work release, of teaching methodsadapted to the abnormal psychology of the habitual of­fender, of new incentive programs, of retraining programsto give a man pride and identity.

The proposal is not a call to "go easy" on a criminal.Rather it is· the call to bring about change in such' aperson if this be possible. And all those concerned withthe law indicate that the present prison system is notdoing a very good job of this.

Wrongdoing is not to be condoned nor overlookedBut when faced with it the, reaction should be not vin~~ictiv~ness. but a determination to place the wrongdoer111 a situation where he will both realize that there is tobe no profit in his wrongdoing and that the proper goalof his life should be a wort~y contributing place in so­ciety.

And he' should be assisted to realize this potentialwithin himself..

These issues, he feels, includethe effect the new U.S. scrutinyof military expenditures will haveon this country's relationshipwith other nations, especiallyRussia, and the pressing questionwhether the United States canafford to spend large sums ofmoney on armaments while crit­ical domestic and internationalproblems requiring resources re­main unresolved.

Decade of Decision"In the crush of this national

dilemma," Msgr. Bordelon de­clared, "the tight Senate votesimply reflects the fact that thenation has not yet really decidedits course. The mood of the coun­try and of the Senate demandsfurther debate. And this debatecannot be confined to thebureaus of experts, of executives,of the military."

"Judgment and assessment ofthe very condition of man arethe issue," Msgr. Bordelon em­phasized. "The great nationaldebate is still due. The decadeof decision has just begun."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Aug. 14, 1969 7

ROCHESTER (NC) - Bigotryagainst the Pope, once comingfrom outside the Church, is nowoften coming' from within, Bish­op Fulton J. Sheen of Rochesterdeclared in an article appearingin his diocesan newspaper, theCourier-Journal.

"The cause of Paul-baitingwas not Humanae Vita, thoughit provide~ a good stick forbeating," Bishop Sheen wrotein reference to Pope Paul VI andhis encyclical prohibiting allforms of artificial contraception.

"The real cause," he said,"was the revival of Romanti­cism, in which the individualego becomes the supreme au­thority.

"Mini-Popes were substitutedfor the Pope. Mini-skirts arelong on exposure, short on con­cealment. Mini-Popes are longon their own infallibility, shorton humility," Bishop Sheenwrote.

'Asked for Trouble'The Pope today is a scape­

goat, the prelate said. "No au­thoritative ego would ever getpublicity if he attacked 'the So­ciety for the Development ofNeo-Scholasticism in northernNebraska,' but he would morelikely be quoted by the press ifhe attacked the Pope, orspanked his own Mother theChurch," Bishop Sheen observed.

Feast of FatimaNow ObligatoryIn Portugal

LISBON (NC)-The com­memoration of Our' Lady ofFatima has become an ob­ligatory feast in Portugal,according to the PortugueseBishops' Liturgical Commissionin notes issued on liturgical re­visions for Portugal.

The Fatima feast is observedon May 13.

The commission also notedthat although no saints particu­lar to Portugal have been intro­duced in the revised LiturgicalCalendar, five have been addedto the Litany of Saints to beused in this country. They areSt. John of Brito; St. Anthonyof Lisbon (commonly known asSt. Anthony of Padua); St. Teo­tonio; St. John of God and St.Elizabeth of Portugal.

Other items in the liturgicalreform cited by the commissionare:

The Proper of the Mass re­mains virtually the some as itwas revised in 1964.

Transfer ObservancesDioceses may continue to ob­

serve their local feastdays.Since the feasts of the Epiph­

any and the Ascension are notholydays of obligation in thiscountry, their observance istransferred to the nearest Sun­day between Jan. 2 and 8 andto the seventh Sunday afterEaster, respectively.

The Rogation Days are re­duced to one day I which shouldnow fall on the former Ascen­sion Day.

The times of Ember Dayshave been changed slightly andit is recommended that their ob­servance revert to the originalpurpose of thanksgiving andcharitable works

The custom of covering thecrucifix and statues during thePassion time has been abolished.

Says ABM Vote ContraryTo U. S. Bishops' Warning

WASHINGTON (NC)-The Senate two-vote margingiving the Nixon Administration victory in deploying theSafeguard anti-ballistic missile system has been scored bythe director of the Division of World Justice and Peace,United States Catholic Con­fere'nce. Msgr. Marvin Bor­delon is disappointed withthe vote "because it con­tinues the reliance on armaments'as the means of securing worldpeace." '

He expressed optimism, how­ever, because the slim victoryseems to indicate that Americansdesire to more closely scrutinizemilitary expenditures. Msgr. Bor­delon sees this as the beginningof "the decade of decision."

Deployment of ABM'wili becontrary to a warning issued bythe Catholic Bishops of theUnited States in their pastoralletter, Human Life in Our Day.

The Bishops, last November"said that "by upsetting the pres­ent strategic balance, the so­called balance of terror, thereis grave danger that a UnitedStates ABM system will inciteother nations to increase theiroffensive nuclear forces with theseeming excuse of a need to re­store the balance."

World Affairs PostureMsgr. Bordelon is "simultan­

eously much encouraged * ". *by the close vote, indicating aa substantial attitude in theSenate that peace through rec­onciliation between nations isnow considered a practical pos­sibility."

"In this area of arms escala­tion," Msgr. Bordelon said, "eth­ics and technical power meet inawesome confrontation."

"Ethical judgment and moralsensitivity dictate, that menshould live in love and peacewith one another-unless thereis justifiable reason to concludethat armaments must be used inself-defense against fellow man,"he said.

Msgr. Bordelon said only "thebarest majority" of senators de­cided that man's situation re­quires the United States to spend'huge new sums on armaments."But nearly half the senatorssaid otherwise-that it is re­sponsible to opt for a less mili­taristic posture in world affairs,"he asserted.

Attitude ChangeMsgl,'. Bordelon believes the

government must proceed withcaution in developing and de­ploying the ABM system. Hesaid:

"We must enter into the Stra­tegic Arms Limitation Talkswith Russia in earnest, not withan air or superiority, but witha spirit of openness and concili­ation."

He observed this has not beenthe case over the past severalyears and he offered a reasonfor the change.

"It is not simply that the na­tion and the Congress are be­coming overly critical or suspi­cious of the Administration orof the military," Msgr. Bordelonsaid.

Unresolved Problems"There are other dynamics in

operation. In the pursuit ofpeace, a new mode is devol ping.

Anyone who has tasted realChinese or Japanese food canattest to the fact that any re­lation between the.aforemention­ed two dishes and the delightsof the Orient that can be foundin a true Chinese restaurant ispurely coincidentat and no faultof the cooks.

Sad to say, there was a trueChinese restaurant in this areafor a year or two and it wentout of business for lack of cus­tomers. Evidently once you getused to Americanized Orientaldishes, you don't try the origin­als.

Recently I came across a verygood cook. book for those' who.want a little more authenticityin their Chinese foods. It is byJim Lee, an artist and teacher,and is called simply Jim Lee'sChinese Cook Book. Published byHarper and Row, it sells for $7.-50. .

Mr. Lee not only gives recipesfor mallY delicious-soundingChinese dishes, but he also tellshis readers the why of such andsuch a step in a certain recipe.He explains a bit of the cultureof his ancient country and com­ments on how food has related

'to that culture.Many ingredients used in the'

native dishes sound a bit unusualbut Mr. Lee explains that theycan' be found in shops in theChinatown section of large cities .and he also gives a list of storesthat will fill mail orders.

In this area of New Englandwe can always journey to theChinatown section of Boston ifwe want a particular ingredientfor a' special dish-or if you'refriendly with a nearby Chineserestaurant, the owner might seIlyou a small amount of the itemyou want. '

Mrs. Henry France Jr. of St.Anne's parish, in Cranston, R.I.(charming young mother of fouractive boys): "I like.them wherethey 'are now. I feci that womenare much smarter and up-to­date in this fast-paced world andthat they will adapt the styles tosuit their age, figure, and paceof life, rather than wear what thedesigners want them to wear."

Mrs. John Long, of ImmaculateConception parish in Fall Riveris the wife of one of our staterepresentatives who leads a veryactive life both socially and withher family. She stated: "I justdon't like this longer look. Ithink most women will find ittoo warm and too constrictingfor today's living. Personally, Ihave found that just above theknee is a good length for me,both appearance-wise and com­fort-wise. It seems to me the de­signers and manufactures arejust looking for a change."

Joan Bronhard of St. Stanis~

My opinion isthat the mini is here to stay."

When in RomeMrs. Daniel Sullivan, a fellow

parishioner of Joan, also agreedthat it would take a while be­fore this new style arr.ived here."I can't say I like it," said Mrs.Sullivan, "but I suppose we willeventually be wearing them heretoo. You know what they say,when in Rome do as the Romansdo, so I suppose all of us will .end up letting our hems down,if everyone else does it."

Mrs. Leo Paiva of ImmaculateConception parish in Fall Riversaid that she had tried on somemaxi coats and liked them verymuch: "I think these coats arejust darling with mini dressesand high boots but I can't saythat I like the maxi dresses."

Mrs. Manuel Nogueira of St.John of God parish in Somersetwas quite firm in her opinionof this longer length: "I justdetest those maxi dresses. Ihated them when they were in'style in the forties. and fiftiesand I still think they're unat­tractive. I suppose I'll wear it,but I won't be happy.".

Only the HippiesPamela Cordeiro of St. Eliza­

Originally, when the perman­ent diaconate was discussed forthe United States, only mission­ary areas like Puerto Rico andAlaska, where the shortage ofpriests is critical, were consider­ed. The bishops of the south andsouthwest said that large sec­tions of the United States werejust as mission-oriented.

Auxiliary Bishop Thomas J.Grady, archdiocesan director ofseminaries and continuing edu­cation, said his office hopes toform an active committee bySeptember which will make rec­ommendations to John CardinalCody.

Bishop Grady .said results of aquestionnaire on the feasibilityof the permanent diaconate,which has been sent out to allarchdiocesan and religious orderpriests, are now being tabulated.To date, some 80 replies havebeen received.

The permanent diaconate maybe conferred on married and un­married men of mature age. Or­dained deacons perform manyof the duties of priests, thoughthey cannot hear confessions orcelebrate Mass. Unmarried dea­cons, once ordained, may notmarry, nor may married deacons,if widowed, re-marry.

There was an even distributionof banners reading "Support OurArchbishop" and "Communicate-Don't Obliterate."

The new editor is Father Den­zyl Meuli, an air force veteran.

the public has heard about themthrough communications media.I Father Kaufmann said Catho­lic newspapers should open theireditorial pages. to all shades of'opinion on issues being dis­cussed in the Church.

Enlarging on the concept ofopenness in the Church, theSwiss editor advocated the ex­pansion of dialogue on all levelsand collegial discussions amongChurch authorities.

Bishop DenouncesAny Form of War

CAMALDOLI (NC)-A meet­ing of 300 Catholic, Protestant,Orthodov, Jewish and Moslemscholars heard a Catholic bishopdenounce any war as "inhuman,anti-evangelical and inadequateas a means for solving differ­ences."

The meeting, unusual in Italy,was partly sponsored by theItalian Bishops' Conference'ssecretariat for ecumenical activ­ities. The weeklong meeting isbeing held at the Camaldolimona~tery here near Naples andits goal is to work out a pro­gram of common action in favorof peace.

Bishop Giuseppe. Marafini ofVeroli-Frosinone, president ofthe Italian bishops' ecumenicalsecretariat, . opened the meetingwith a strong denunciation ofany form of war. .

He said that the teachingscontained in Pope John XXIlI's"Pacem in Terris," and in theSecond Vatican Council's docu­ments and Pope Paul VI's "Pop­'ulorum Progressio" demonstratean evolution in the Church'sattitude toward war.

DAYTON (NC)-A European editor has called for afree and open exchange of information in the Church,from the Vatican dO,wn to parish level. The lack of goodcommunications is a major problem in the Church, accord­ing to Father Ludwig Kauf­mann, S.J., editor of Orient­ierung, a German-languageCatholic magazine publishedin Zurich, Switzerland.

News blackouts often result inthe lack of perspective in thepress, Father Kaufmann sug­gested, citing the recent sympo­sium of some 100 EuropeanBishops in Chur, Switzerland.

Protesters Capture HeadlinesA "shadow assembly" of

about 100 priests met in Churat the same time. The priestsdemanded in vain to be admittedas participants in the Bishops'discussions.

The press gave major atten­tion to the priests, or as FatherKaufmann put it, they "picked upsomething from the border andput it in the middle." But thatwas the fault of the Bishopsrather than the press, the priestbelieves.

Father Kaufmann concededthe demands and protests bytheir very nature tend to cap­ture the headlines but he saidpress representatives at Chur"simply couldn't get any goodinformation on what was takingplace in the bishops' sympo­sium."

Tardy DirectivesThey had to turn out stories,

so they wrote much copy on theassembly of priests, which wascompletely open to the pressand was cooperative, FatherKaufmann observed.

Bishops sometimes find it dif"ficult to obtain informationthrougll' Church' "channels, ac­cording to Father Kaufmann in­dicating the Church needs newstructures for communication.

Speaking at Bergamo Centerhere in Ohio, Father Kaufmannsaid Bishops som.etimes "are noteven informed about decisionsof Rome."

Dialogue ExpansionThey would perhaps like to

have more to say before deci­sions are made, he commented,adding that sometimes Bishopsare not even told about deci­sions officially until documentscome from Rome months after

Protestant Theologians CriticizesWhite House. S:unday Services

NEW YOR~, (NC)-ReinholdNiebuhr, 77-year-old Protestanttheologian and social philoso­pher, has charged that PresidentNixon's practice of holding Sun·day morning worship services inthe White House, with religiousl'eaders as guest preachers, mayhave emasculated the churches",ability to provide sound moralcriticism of government prac-'tices.

Writing in Christianity and'Crisis, a bi-weekly journal ofreligious and social commentwhich he helped found yearsago, Dr. Niebuhr said a conflicthas always existed betweenthose who regard religion as anally of ruling powers and thosewho see it as a' potential critic.

But religious leaders mayhave been' so awed by Mr. Nixeon's invitation to conduct ser­vices in the White House as to'dull their critical faculties, heclaimed.

Without mentioning him byname, Dr. Niebuhr cited a com­ment by Rabbi Louis Finkel­stein, chancellor of Jewish The­ological Seminary, after hepreached at the White House onJune 29.

The Rabbi expressed the hopethat future historians "may saythat in a period of great trialand tribulations, the 'finger of,God' pointed to Richard MilhousNixon, giving him the visionand wisdom to save the worldand civilization, and opening theway for our country to realizethe good that' ,the centuryoffered mankind."

Senator ~Fulbright MeetsMatch in George Meany

more doctrinainre in its ownsophisticated (some would saysupercilious) way.

Slapped !DownThis, however, is not the

point I was driving at when Inoted above that I admire Mr.Meany for locking horns withthe Senator during their recentcolloquy before the Senate'sForeign Relations Committee.

I was referring, not to thesubstance of their debate onforeign policy, but rather to theway they carried on the argu­ment. In my opinion, the Sena-·tor argued his case very tenden­tiously and, for this reason, Iam glad that Meany slapped himdown in a way that no Cabinetmember or other governmentspokesman, for obvious politicalreasons, would have dared .todo under similar circumstances.

The Senator had a perfectright to disagree with Meany'sapproach to foreign policy, but,in my judgment, he had no rightwhatsoever to say that heavygovernment subsidy of the AFL­CIO's foreign policy activitiesthrough the American Institutefor Free Labor Developmentwas a reward or a payoff forMeany's· "ardent, ardent" en­dorsement of Lyndon Johnson'swar policies.

Insulting SuggestionThis accusation strikes me as

being a rather cheap way ofsuggesting that Meany is agroveling sycophant. If Ful­bright actually believes this, Iam afraid he doesn't understandGeorge Meany very well andhasn't the slightest notion ofwhat makes him tick.

Mr. Meany'S foreign policymay be good, bad, or indiffer­ent but, for better or for worse,it's his own policy, and it's notfor sale to any Administration,as Senator Fulbriglit would havediscovered if he had ever be­come Secretary of State andhad foolishly tried to bargainwith Meany on the issue.

He would have discovered thatMeany, rightly or wrongly, wasand is prepared to stick to hisguns on the issue of foreign pol­icy regardless of what anyoneelse, including the President, theSecretary of State, or even thechairman of the Senate ForeignRelati9ns Committee may hap­pen to think about the matter.

What I am saying, in effect,is that , regardless of whatSenator Fulbright may happento think about Meany's foreignpolicy, he overstepped thebounds of Congressional pro­priety and Congressional immu­nity and took on the role of thehaughty schoolmaster in sug­gesting, rather insultingly, thatMeany was a Johnson lackeyand that Johnson himself was adeliberate bribester in the fieldof foreign policy.

Something to LearnMoreover, if the Senator

thought that Meany, out of def­erence for the Senate Commit­tee and its august chairman,would take all this lying down,he has something to learn aboutthe American political process.

Senators may be able to bull­doze hapless government offi­cials when they have them onthe witness stand, but, thanksbe to God, they can't intimidateprivate citizens of Meany's cal-

One final point. Miss McGrorynoted, in the column referred toabove, that "nobody asked him(Meany) about bringing theways of freedom and democracyto American trade unionism, orabout progress in introducing'fraternal solidarity' to the dis­criminatory building trades un­ions, for instance.

"Fulbright, no champion ofCivil Rights, was not the manto do it. The other -members,mindful of Meany's 14 millionmembership, did not bait theline. Meany, although 74, canstill roar."

Meany'S RecordIt strikes me that Miss Mc­

Grory was being a little tooconsiderate of the Senator and,conversely, excessively criticalof President Meany.

Say what you will about therecord of some of the buildingtrades in the field of race rela­tions, the fact is that Meany'spersonal record on this issue isso far superior to that of Sen­ator Fulbright that I, for one,find it almost grotesque that thetwo men should even be men­tioned, in this context, on thesame page of a daily newspaper,let alone in the same paragraphof the same column.

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

George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, has thereputation-I almost said "enjoys" the reputation-of beinga blunt, plain-spoken man who, right or wrong, alwayssays exactly what he thinks. He does so even, or especi"ally,to Presidents, Cabinet mem-

,bers, Senators and other po­litical bigwigs who, willynilly, have a way of intimi­dating lesser mortals and in thepresence of whom the averagecitizen, no mat­ter how promi­nent he mayhappen to be inhis own baili­wick, is instinc­tively inclinedto be unusuallydeferential, notto say obsequi­ous. In fact, Mr.Meany is oneof the few menI know who isgenerally more deferential toordinary folk' than he is to thegreat and the mighty. As Timemagazine might have put it,not so many years ago, whenit was still specializing in thissort of inverted journalese: "Nosycophant, he."

Heated ColloquyWhether Mr. Meaney's aggres­

sive outspokenness is an assetor a liability, a virtue or avice, is an arguable point, Isuppose. For my own part, Itend to admire it even when Ihappen to be in disagreementwith what President Meany issaying on a particular contro­versial issue.

Be that as it may, Meany wasrunning true to form when heappeared, a couple of weeksago, before the Senate ForeignRelations Committee and ag­gressively took on the redoubt­able chairman of that presti­gious body, Senator WilliamFulbright, during a heated col­loquy which lasted for approx­imately three and a half hours.

The good Senator, who is re­cent years has mercilessly and,more than once, sarcasticallybadgered many a Cabinet mem­ber over the issue of Viet Namand, because of his privilegedstatus, has generally managedto get away with it, finally methis match in Mr. Meany.

Inflexible PolicyUnlike Mary McGrory, a good

friend of mine and one of myfavorite Washington columnists,I admire President Meany forbearding the Arkansas lion inhis own privileged den and re­fusing to be intimidated by histendentious line of questioning.

Miss McGrory is strongly per­suaded that Meany's support ofthe war· in Viet Nam and hisover-all approach to foreignpolicy are outdated and irrele­vant and that, contrariwise, Ful­bright's foreign policy is basi­cally sound.

This being the case, it isn'ttoo surprising that she decidedthe Meany - Fulbright debateoverwhelmingly in the Senator'sfavor and, perhaps unwittinglymade Mr. Meany look like theproverbial dumb plumber.

For present purposes at least,[ am not disposed to argue theforeign policy issue as such.Suffice it to say that, while Ifind Mr. Meany's foreign policytoo inflexible in certain respectsand while I would be inclined tosupport almost any move toend the war in Viet Nam shortof outright surrender, I findSenator Fulbright's policy equal­ly inflexible and perhaps even

Protests PrejudiceAgainst Christians

SIMLA (NC)-A Jesuit priesthas opposed a demand for "re­classification" under which con­verts to Christianity from In­dia's aboriginal communitieswould be denied certain conces­sions available to their Hindubrethren.

Father Philip Ekka, rector ofSt. Albert's College who is amember of such a (Ranchi) com­munity, opposed a motion byS.P. Sinha, deputy director ofthe Bihar Tribal Research Insti­tute, which wanted aboriginalsto be reclassified according tothe economic condition in theirown region, rather than in rela­'tion to national levels.

The resolution was moved ata two-week seminar here in the"Tribal Situation" co-sponsoredby the Indian Institute of Ad­vanced Studies and the Depart­ment of Sociology of Delhiuniversity.

Father Ekka said the effect\ of the motion would be denial

of concessions to tribal Chris­tians who have improved theireconomic status, although notto the level of others who re­ceive benefits from the govern­ment.

of which the Catholics are ob­server-members, issued its mes­sage to the people of SouthAfrka. In this message, the fun­damental inconJPatibility of rac­ism and Christian belief istrenchantly expressed:

"The Christian Gospel re­quires us to assert the truthproclaimed by the first Chris­tians, who discovered that Godwas creating a new communityin which differences of race,language, nation, culture, andtradition no longer had powerto separate man from man. Themost important features of aman are not the details of his,racial group, but the naturewhich he has in common withall men and also the gifts andabilities which are given to himas a unique individual _by thegrace of God; to insist that ra­cial characteristics are moreimportant than these is to rejectwhat is most significant aboutour own humanity as well asthe humanity of others.

"But in South Africa, every­one is expected to believe thata man's racial identity is 'themost important thing about him:only when it is clearly settledcan any significant decisions bemade about him. Those whoseracial classification is in doubtare tragically insecure and help­less. Without racial identity, itseems, we can do nothing; hewho has it, has life; he who hasnot racial identity has not 'life.

Denial of Gospel ."This belief in the supreme

importance of racial identityamounts to a denial of the cen­tral statements of the ChristianGospel. In practice, it severelyrestricts the ability of Christianbrothers to serve and knoweach other, and even to giveeach other simple hospitality;it limits the ability of a personto obey Christ's command to

, love his neighbour as himself."For, 'according to the Chris­

tian Gospel" our brothers arenot merely the members of ourown race group. Our brother isthe person whem God gives tous. To disassociate from ourbrother on the grounds of nat­ural distinction is to despiseGod's gift and to reject Christ.

"Where different groups ofpeople are hostile to each' other,this is due to human sin notto the plan of the Creator. TheScriptures do not require suchgroups to be kept separate fromeach other; on the contrary, theGospel requires us to believe inand to act on the reconciliationmade for us in Christ.

"A policy of separation is ademonstration of unbelief in thepower' of the Gospel; any dem­onstration of the reality of recon­ciliation would endanger thispolicy. Therefore, the advocates,of, this policy inevitably findthemselves opposed to theChurch if it seeks to live accord­ing to the Gospel and, to showthat God's grace has overcomeour hostilities.

"A thorough policy of racials~paration must ultimately re~

quire that the Church shouldcease to be the Church."

This, then, is the principle.A Christian cannot be a racist.But what, in practice, does thisprinciple imply for concreteChristian action?

Belief i" Race ImportanceAmounts to Gospel Denial

By Barbara WardThe world is full of angry separations. Ibo and Hausa

fight each other in Nigeria' just as Teuton and Gaul f~ughteach other in Europe-in 1870 and 1914 a~d 1939. Chmeseand Malays 'are hostile citizens in the same community.Perhaps half a million Chi­nese were massacred in In­donesia, chiefly because theywere aliens. No race, no na­tion, no tribe has the monopolyof division and violenc;e. But forthe Christiancommunity them 0 s t wide­spread and di-:;visive split isbetween citizensofEuropean de­scent and citi­zens' who areAfricans or ofA f ric a n de­scent. This issimply becauseEuropeans of .of the once Christian man lmeregions of Western Europe ­British, Dutch, Belgians, French,Portuguese and Spanish-radi­cally altered the world's dem­ographic map between the 16thand the 20th centul'y, takingmillions upon million:> of Afri­cans to America in the slaveships and themselves conqueringand occupying, as a small mi­nority, large parts of SouthernAfrica.'

For Christian people, the re­sult is' that the racial issue con­fronts them chiefly in terms ofblack and white.

Before we look at the com­plexities and agonies of. this is­sue, the best starting point isto state the principle and theideal. Were it not for Christianprinciple there would be noproblem of ethics or morals,only issues of power and self-interest. '

Survival of FittestThroughout millenia of human

history, . it was felt normal toenslave or exterminate con­quered groups. That nature ,op­erated according to "the survi­val of the fittest" was,' provensimply by the ability of thestrongest to impose their owninterests and exploit weakerbeing-until they in turn wereconquered by an even strongergroup.

All history is a record of' the'rise and fall of imperial systemsof the rich and powerful ex­ploiting the helpless ~nd thepoor. "

One reason why in Buddhism,life is depicted as a "melan­choly wheel," is that it is drivenupwards by power and appetiteand then down again by weak­ness and defeat. Just now, inthe swing of history, the Whitesare uppermost in the exploita­tive power-with 80 per cent ofeverything both at the worldlevel and in particulal' commu­nities such as South Africa.

But another swing can pullthem down. Meanwhile, it isnatural, in any but religiousterms, for them 'to defendtheir privileges with any. meansin their power.

But the law of nature, ofpower and privilege defendingthemselves with every means ofviol~nce, is not the law ofChrist. This is the' profounddilemma of conscience placedbefore the White citizens ofthe West.

One of the most striking re­statements of this dilemma wasmade in South Africa at the endof last year when the SouthAfrican Council of Churches,

He feels, however, that inPeru "where the ruling govern­ment is 'pro people' and mov­ing fast in the direction of so­cial readjustment," the danger isnot imminent.

Meanwhile, he says, "the fu­ture of religion in South Amer­ica is bright. Resurrection comesfrom the mobs. The poor arere-estimating their spiritual val­ues, They arc discovering thetrue church, because that churchis going to them.". In Peru, he says, "the prob­

lem is not in finding youngpriests to go to the slums. It'sfinding pastors for city parishes."

Much of the credit for the re­vitalized church and its laborsin behalf of the poor should goto Cardinal Landazuri, Fatherfeels.

"His preference is for the slumparishes. He strides around shak­ing hands with everybody, chat­ting with old people and young,sitting down with the crowd fora parish dinner. He's as much athome there ashe is conductingdivine services for a singing con­gregation. He knows the prob­lems of his people and his priests-and he directs all his activitiestoward solving them."·

"But they expect to have a fairdeal, too. They are against anycapitalism that goes there justto exploit them."

And pqverty "still is the curseof Peru and of all Latin Amer­ica," Father Meunier says.

He blames this on the "ridicu­lously low salaries and the ap­propriation by big land ownersof most of the nation's land.Landlords form, with bankers,the backbone of Latin economyand politics and will not giveup their monopoly easily. Inter­est runs easily to 20 per centand although labor is cheap, liv­ing expenses are high."

The church in Peru is help­ing to combat this situation Fa­ther says.

The laity, for example, "hasthe majority on the Lima Arch­diocesan Finance Committee.This committee is assessingchurch properties with the ideaof turning over for the benefitof the poor whatever is notneeded. Downtown propertieswill be sold for commercial pur­poses and reinvested in poorersuburbs,' where decent housingwill be erected and turned overto poor families for low'monthlyrents. After a few years, thepeople themselves will hold titleto the property."

Father Meunier also cites pas­toral de'crees of the Latin Amer­ican hierarchy calling for suchthings as agrarian reforms, hu­man rights, labor unions, edu­cation and freedom of the press.

Is there danger of a seriousclash between church and state?

says the Rev. Ovilia A. .Meunier ,a Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate, "but priestswho work in social justice often are threatened."

He feels that it is wrong forhim to spend money to fly"home" when so much is neededin his new inner-city parish inLima, Peru. This visit was oc­casioned by the serious illnessof a brother and a sister.

"But, we are in debt," he admits."We spent $80,000 for a 'newschool and now we hope to builda parish hall and clinic, with ,two clubs-for youth and oldpeople-and a parish house."Price tag is $83,000.

Cardinal PlansTo Issue Letter.On Manifesto

DETROIT (NC) - JohnCardinal Dearden of Detroitwill issue a pastoral letterduring August telling priestsand parishioners how to dealwith persons presenting BlackManifesto demands in churches.

The cardinal strongly recom­mends that police not be called.He asks instead that manifestospokesmen be treated with ut­most courtesy.

Cardinal Dearden also pointsout that should manifesto mem­bers bring their demands tochurch while Mass is being cele­brated, that parishioners are tobe told that they may leave ifthe wish and that they are freedfrom their obligation to partici­pate at Mass for that particiularSunday.

The Black Manifesto demands$3 bi1lion in reparations fromthe nation's 'white churches andsynagogues. Churches through­out the nati9n, particularly inmetropolitan areas, have beenthe scenes of confrontation whenblacks have disrupted servicesto present their demands.

Arrange MeetingThe archdiocese of St. Louis,

where several consecutive "BlackSundays" have taken place, ask­ed for and received a court in­junction barring black militantsfrom even entering churches,let alone presenting ~emands anddisrupting services.

A spokesman in CardinalDearden's office said the Detroitpastoral letter does not mentioncourt injunctions. "It is not evenbeing considered," he said. Butemphasis is made on the pointthat police not be called. Thepastoral letter also.will.~sk thatno attempts be made to ph'ysical­Iy force anyone out of church.

The pastoral letter's guidelinesare expected to include the fol­lowing:

If manifesto members contacta parish by letter or telephone,pastors should attempt to ar­range a meeting for a certaindate, time, and place. . .

Dialogue RecommendedManifesto backers are to be

asked if they wish to meet onlywith the parish council or theentire parish, Enough time is tobe allowed so parish memberscan receive this information.

If Manifesto people enterchurch during Mass, they are tobe asked to wait until the serviceis completed. If they do not wait,it is preferable that they meetelsewhere than in the church,but this wi1l not be pressed.

If the militants wait for ser­vices to end, they are to beintroduced to the parishioners,who are to be reminded thatthey do not have to stay to list­en to the presentation. After thepresentation, dialogue in theparish hall is recommended.

If manifesto people refuse towait until services are over, theservices are to be stopped andmilitants given the opportunityto talk. Again, after the presenta­tion, all parties concerned areto be invited to the parish hallfor discussion of the matter.

Christians BackOverseas Aid

LONDON (NC)~ About 300Catholics and other Christianswent to the House of Commonshere to ask their members ofParliament to oppose any fur­ther cuts in British overseas aid.

The Catholic Institute of In­ternational Relations was one ofthe lobby's organizers.

After about 80 individualmembers of Parliament had beenseen, one party went off tonearby 10 Downing Street,Prime Minister Harold Wilson'sLondon home, to hand in a peti­tion calling for such aid to beincreased-by 25 per cent.

Meantime, a massive "sJgnin" involving every church con­gregation in the count.(y is beingplanned for next Chri:<;tmas topetition the government to in­crease aid to developing coun­tries . to offset forecasts ofworld-wide famine in the nextdecade and offer improved con­ditions of trade.

Sponsors of this national ef­fort are the British Council ofChurches and the Catholic Com­mission for International Justiceand Peace.

Already Catholics, Congrega­tionalists and Presbyterians herehave themselves adopted andare urging other churches toadopt the principle that allChristians should give at leastone per cent of their annual in­come voluntarily to overseas aid.

The Methodists are urgingtheir members to give one day'spay annually.

The congregation also an­nounced they will expand theirwork in the Philippines into thecity of Manila. Up to the present,their work· has primarily been inthe diocese of Dumaguete City.

An affiliate program _for girlsinterested in the- community willbe started this year in Duma­guete City, with an eye to theeventual establishment of a no­vitiate in Manila. In the past, allprospective community memberscame to New Orleans to servetheir novitiate.

TORONTO (NC) -.:... In thesetimes of increasing noise, speed,distraction and emphasis on ma­terial things, can modern manpray? Is it possibfefor him to"pray without ceasing" as recom­mended by th'e bishops at Vati­can Council II?

In a recent series of inter­views, The Canadian Register,Kingston, Ont., diocesan news­paper, found that, although peo­pie, are not saying as manyformal prayers as before, theyare praying more.

Prayer, described by St. JohnDamascene as "an elevation ofthe soul to God," has been thefavorite topic of Christian writ­ers from the earliest centuries.

5t. John Chrysostom main­tained "it is simply impossibleto lead a virtuous life withoutthe aid of prayer!"

Regarding people who don'tpray, the biggest reason, says

,Father Ed Bushheit C.P. of To­ronto, is that "they aren't sensi­tive enough to the beauty andsheer mystery that surroundsus. They aren't plugged in.

"When a sense of mysterycomes, then there is a sense ofreverence. The next step is sim­ply to start speaking to theTranscendent Being who is be-

They were men of science sent on a sctentiflc journey, yetthe crew of Apollo XI can, in a very real sense, be calledmissionaries.

Like all missionaries, the astronauts were sent on a specificmission, with.a definite task in mind. Journeying into the unknown,the Apollo crew sought to discover the secrets of another worldby applying the knowledge and ideas of their own culture. Theirpurpose was not to destroy, but to seek out the good that wasalready on the moon. Just as missionaries today try to utilizethe customs and beliefs of a native culture in adapting them toChristianity.

Each member of the crew. also possessed the qualities nec­essary in a good missionary. First of all, they had a willing­ness to face danger. Although their mathematics were perfect,the awful shadow of doubt and uncertainty hung over theentire mission. Secondly, they were patient and generous. Theywere willing to undergo the long period of training before­hand, and arduous quarantine afterward. Thirdly, the astro­.nauts made a perseverin2 effort until success was achieved.And f1naIly, they had a real spirit of sacrifice, leaving behindhome anll family as they represented all mankind.

But most important of all, the astronauts came with a mes­sage. "On~ small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind"symbolized the hopes and dreams of all mankind. They are wordsthat will not sooll be forgutten.

Perhaps the real point to be gleaned 'from this ama:tingjourney is not the apostolic zeal of the Apollo XI crew. Rather,it Is to realize that on account of their mission, for one briefmoment, the entire world was one. Our goal now is to makethat moment eternal.

You can help to achieve that goal by your support of themissions and missionaries around the world. Your sacrifice canhelp to bring mankind a little closer together. Your missionariesare teacher.>, doctors and friends to mankind, a sign of Christ inyour name.

Firm Discipline,Group TherapyAid Alcohol ics

BAY CITY (NG) - Thedirector of Friendship House,a home for men sick fromalcoholism, told Serra Clubmembers here in Michigan thatfirm discipline and group ther­apy can be valuable in securingthe cure of alcoholics.

Father James Kedziorski notedthat the "cure" of an alcoholic isa time·consuming process, oftenlasting several years. He saidit is necessary to overcome achain of events, including tired­ness and lack of concentration,which let a person do what hereally wishes he wouldn't.

The priest told the Serransthat of the 90 million Americanswho drink, some 12 to 13 mil·lion are alcoholics. He 'said thatthe people of Bay City areaalone spend $3.5 million annu·ally on "booze," and he esti·mated that there are' 5,000 alco­holics in the general area. (BayCity has a population of 55,000,with number of smaller townsclustered nearby.)

Half-Way HavenEarlier this year Father Kedz·

iorski converted an older BayCity home into FriendshipHouse. It provides a sort ofhalf-way haven for men whowant to overcome alcoholism,including those who have beenreleased from direct hospitaltreatment but who are not yetready to face unaided thestresses of their normal homelives. The home also welcomesdrug addicts who want to becured.

Father Kedziorski was re­leased from parish duties inorder to devote full time effortsto Friendship House.

Guests in the home are grad­ually returned to their normallife pattern.

Men willing to try to helpthemselves are fed, given aclean bed and provided with do­nated clothing by people whoknow and understand the prob­lem of the alcoholic.

They are given· counsel andintroduced to the daily groupsessions and the program .ofAlcoholics Anonymous-thoughthere is no connection betweenAA and Friendship House.

Physical, Mental Problem

The alcoholic is also expectedto help keep the house cleanand do some chores. He is alsoexpected to look for a job assoon as he is capable of work­ing. A wage-earner is expectedto pay $20 per week for roomand board as a part of his ther­apy.

A person is expected to re­main at Friendship House for atleast two weeks-though thelength of the stay is up to thestaff. Maximum stay has been .set at two vears.

The home has a capacity tohandle 14 alcoholic patients.

At Friendship House FatherKedziorski and other staff mem­bers discuss the drinking prob­lem with each patient-guest. Heis told that his problem is notmerely moral, but a physicaland mental problem combined­and that Friendship House pro­vides him a haven where hewill find freedom from alcoholso that he can have a rebirth asa human being.

SIOUX CITY (NC) - FatherJames K. Lafferty, superintend­eent of 'parochial schools of theSioux City diocese, said he hasdeveloped a prayer which maybe recited in Iowa's publicschools without violating statelaw.

He presented what he calls the"Prayer of the Patriot" to localmembers of the Veterans of For­eign .Wars in an address here.The prayer is composed of thesecond and final sentences of theDeclaration of Independence,which reads:.

"We hold these truths to beself-evident, that all men arecreated equal, that they are en­dowed with certain unalienablerights, that among these are life,liberty and the pursuit of happi­ness. ,

"And for the support of thisDeclaration, with a firm relianceon'the protection of divine Prov-

Georgia legislator Julian 'Bond,announced earlier as a speaker,had to cancel because of a con­flict in schedule.

The conference theme, accord­ing the NCCIJ executive direc­tor James T.. Harris, is "Thestewardship of power in theChurch: A piece of the action."The four-day meeting will dealextensively with the question ofreparations and the role of theChurch in .social change.

Delegates are expected fromaobut 30 states, Harris said. Thisis the first major event spon­sored by the NCCIJ since he tookits helm early this year.

The Chicago-based NCCIJ,founded in 1960, coordina tes thework of 150 local Roman Cath­olic Interracial Councils and hu­man relations groups across thenation. In addition, it operates itsown programs in the areas of ed­ucation, health-care, housing,and employment through theecumenical Project Equality.

" "Deacons may perform thesacramental functions of bap­tizing or distributing the Eucha­rist or preaching," CardinalShehan said. "They may directreligious education, parish soci­eties, or the work of the poorin the parish. ,Some deaconswould 'serve both the local par­ish arid the archdiocese.""M~n already serving in 'civic

work, community programs, theprofessions, trades and other:ways," the cardinal added, "willcontinue their special forms ofservice, developing an ~nviron­

ment favorable to healthy reli- /gious life." .

Bring InspirationCardinal Shehan noted that

deacons "will also work "":nareas outside the parish. Dea­cons with area-wide or city-wideresponsibilities as educators, di­rectors of social agencies, youthprograms, or poverty programscould bring new inspiration totheir work."

"Black deacons would provideblack leadership in the parishand the archdiocese in worshi.pand . in decision making." thecardinal said. "The cooperationof black and white deaconswould be a powerful forceagainst olack or white racismwhich exists in our 'country," headded.

The cardinal also noted thatdeacons in hospital-connectedprofessions "could at times serveas auxiliary chaplains in thoseinstitutions." "Those who arepolicemen or firemen could beauxiliary chaplains to their as­sociates," he said. ,

BALTIMORE (NC)-LawrenceCardinal Shehan has announcedthat applications from candi­dates for the permanent diacon­ate are now being accepted inthe Baltimore archdiocese.

The permanent diaeonate maybe conferred on married and un- .married men of mature age. Or­dained deacons perform many ofthe duties of priests, thoughthey cannot hear confessions orcelebrate Mass. Unmarried dea­cons· once ordained, may notmarry, nor may married dea­cons, if widowed, remarry.

Though not new in theChllrch, the permanent diacon­ate has been in disuse in theLatin rite for centuries. PopePaul VI restored it as a perma­nent rank in the Church hier­archy in 1967.

Last October, authorizationwas given to the U. S. NationalConference of Catholic Bishopsto establish a permanent dioc­onate in those dioceses wherethe local bishop wanted it. Acommittee for the permanentdiaconate was formed, under thechairmanship of Bis!lop ErnestL. UnterkoefIer of Charleston,S. C. .

In his announcement, CardinalShehan said "-the variety ofways in which deacons canserve (the Church) today are asmany as the ways in whichmodern men serve one another.Whenever possible and desir­able" the candidates will betrained to work in their ownparishes, since they alreadyknow that community and itsneeds.

, Raw Truthfulness

Her views and her values onemay not endorse in whole orin part, but one has to discernand admire in her an integritywhich will not tolerate shamor bluff. The charm and glamorof Miss Webster's book aremissing here, but Miss HeIl­man's raw truthfulness exerts afascination of its own.

One meets in these pagesHemingway, Fitzgerald, DorothyParker, Dashiell Hammett, andother people of renown. But itis Miss Hellman herself andsome of the' obscure folk closelylinked to her life who stand out.The book concludes, "I left toomuch of me unfinished becauseI wasted too much time. How­ever." However indeed, MissHellman certainly does notemerge from her autobiographyas an unfinished personality.

NEW YORK (NC) - Forty­one cases affecting religiousfreedom or separation of churchand state-a record high-cur­rently await decision in Fed­eral and State, courts, ac,cordingto a national survey' by theAmerican Jewish Congress.

The findings were publishedin the ninth issue of a "Docketof Pending -Legislation" onchurch-state issues published hythe Commission on Law and So­cial Action of the AmericanJewish Congress.

Generationsin Theatre

Eventual RecognitionMiss Webster gives a full ac­

count' of her parents' years inthe theatre, including the early .ones which they spent touringin Britain and in the UnitedStates.. 'I:'he legitimate stage wasthen in its heyday, without com­petition, from movies, talkies, ortelevision:

Troops abounded, and longtours were standard. The latterinvolved travel under most try­ing circumstances, playing inancient, uncomfortable theatres,and staying in flea bag hotelsof wretched lodging houses.

Each company offered awhole series of plays during asingle. engagement. Thus, in herfirst appearance in leading roles,May Whitty had to learn 11parts in 12 plays which wouldbe given within a two-week in­terval. Each play was rehearsedonly once.

Eventually there came recog­nition, regular work in London,and a home neal' Convent Gardenwhere the couple lived for 47years. There was associationwith Irving, Ellen Terry, Ber­nard Shaw, Mrs. Patrick Camp­bell, Granville Barker, and otherluminaries of the theatre. MayWhitty's greatest fame camewhen she was already 70; shemade her first movie when 73.

Relief From BoredomMiss Webster, born in 1905,

had the advantage of introduc­tion, through her parents, to thetop level of the theatrical world.But she was undecided aboutbecoming an actress. She mighthave gone to Oxford, wasstrongly inclined to do so, atlast opted for the stage.

She acted with John Barry­more when he did Hamlet inLondon, with Sybil Thorndike inSaint Joan at the Old Vic, andon a hilariously described tourwith the Ben Greet players inShakespeare.

It was during acting assign­ments in long-running plays thatshe was, as she puts it, drivento directing. It began more asa relief from the boredom ofdoing the same part week afterweek, month after month. Butit ended as being very much thelady's specialty. 'Presumably, weshall be told more of her direc­'torial work in another volume.

Unfinished' WomanAnother lady of the theatre is'

Lillian Hellman, the Americanplaywright. But there is very lit­tle of the theatre in her mem­oir, An Unfinished Woman(Little, Brown, 34 Beacon St.,Boston, Mass. 02106. $7.50).

Miss Hellman is writing aboutherself: her ill-matched parents,her childhood spent betweenNew Orleans an.d New York,her education, the men andwomen in her life, her experi­ences in Spain during the Span­ish Civil War, and in Russiaduring and after World War II.

She is frank and she is blunt.She is also wisely selective andconcise. She knows her faultsand her mistakes, and she statesthem plainly and without apol­ogy. Many people have foundher curt and abrasive; she hasoften been hard on others, but

Reviews FiveOf Websters

By lRt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

In 1937 I preached a series of sermons at the Churchof St. Paul the Apostle in New York City. What I rememberin connection with that ancient experience is twofold. Inthe first place, in one talk there was an adverse referenceto fascist totalarianism. Thisbrought a threat on my lifefrom a person who thoughtwell of Hitler, and thereafter,while on the Church premises,I was guarded by two detectives..In the secondplace, eachtime I went toNew York, Iattendeda performanceof Shakespeare'sRichard II, withMaurice Evansin the title role.Evans was notentirely new toBroadway. Hehad scored apersonal triumph 10 St. Helena,in which he impersonated Napo­leon.

But stunningly new was thestaging of Richard II, a playwhich had not been acted inNew York for three generations.The verse was spoken marvel­ously, in the accepted, stodgyway of doing Shakespeare. Re­sponsible for the production wasMargaret Webster, then a novicedirector.

Miss Webster has now writ­ten a book, The Same OnlyDifferent (Knopf, 501 MadisonAve., New York, N. Y. 10022,$7.95), which concludes with herrecollections of that historicsuccess. Historic, I say, becauseprac~i_ca!ly all su~se9.uen~ pr~-

, ductlOns of Shakespeare 10 thiScountry owe something to it.

Strolling PlayerBefore she 'finally gets around

to her directorial debut, MissWebster reviews the history offive generations of Websters inthe theatre. Her parents wereboth actors, Ben Webster andDame May Whitty and a sisterof hers were the first of theirfamily to go on the stage butthe Websters have been at itfor almost 200 years.

Their original celebrity wasBenjamin Webster (1798-1882),also known as Old Ben,Margaret Webster's great-grand­father. A strolling player in thedays when actors were sniffedat as beyond the social pale, heeventually established himself asa London actor manager.

He sought to assemble thebest acting companies possible,paid authors liberally, and puton elaborate productions.

Colorful StoryHis story is colorful and en­
