He listed the main elementsof his own program as follows:
A declaration by Congress andthe President that "for the firsttime in the history of any nationon earth, all those young peoplewho wanted further educationbeyond high school would haveit available." The total cost, headded, would be only oneseventh of the federal tax shareof the ann ual increase' in the na·tion's gross national product.
In return for such federal assistance to students able andwilling to do college work, allowthem to pick the time, place andcondition of service to others,here or abroad. "Allow it in existing government programs,such as the Peace Corps orVista, in secular or religiousgroups, formally or informallyorganized, in the inner city orAppalachia or in the universityitself."
The option of substituting thisyear of national service, withequal time requirements, for theobligation of military service."We take the draft as our standard and only form of obligatedservice, but for 90 per cent ofour national history, there wasno draft," he said.
The granting of the vote atage .18. "Recent political historyhas taught us that young peopleeven without the vote, can enliven political campaigns andsharpen t he substantive issuesinvolved," he said. "If they hadthe vote as well, then their validquestions would have to be answered by the candidates."

A student starts to ask "whatis life all about, where am Igoing, am I a rea1 member ofsociety or just a passive member, what do I have to contribute, what do I want to do withmy' life, what about girls andboys?"
According to ·the Notre Damepresident, such questions reallycome to life in high school. Headded:
"I would think that if thereis going to be some special religious guidance, high schoolwould be the place where itmight be given, where parentalhelp might be supplementedsomewhat by professionals."
Religious values on both theelementary and secondary levels"ought to be coming from thehome," he said. Classes inschool can supplement the home,but teaching a child how to

Dutch PostponeOrdinationFor Year
UTRECHT (NC) -. Theusual practice of ordaininga man after he has studiedphilosophy and theology andreceived some pastoral trainingwill no longer be followed inthis Dutch archdiocese.
Instead, a man will be ordained a priest only after he hascompleted at least a y~ar's
work in some pastoral positionand then presents himself to hisbishop for ordination.
If he does not ask to be ordained a priest, he may continueto work in his pastoral post. Ifthe man desires to marry, however, he must receive specialpermission to continue in thepastoral post because of the additional financial obligation thearchdiocese would have towarda married employe.

Asked here aoout priorities inthe nation's Catholic school system during an era of financialcrisis, Father Hesburgh said hisbackground has been entirely inhigher education, "which probably gives me a bias toward highschools, because that's where weget our students."

WASHINGTON (NC) - President Nixon's proposal to give a
."tax' break "to the "poor" mayrevive interest in ascertainingwho are the poor. It would befound that they are very numerous, and that they are in allraces in this country.
The President's "low-incomeallowance," as proposed in amessage· to Congress, wouldwork this way:
A single person earning $1,700 a year, who pays a $117tax, would pay nothing; a married couple with an income of$2,300, who now pay $100, wouldpay nothing; a family of four
.would pay no tax on an income• below $3,500 a year. The present
cut-off point for a family offour is $3,300.
The President said the allowance "will offer genuine tax relief to the 'young, the elderly,the disadvantaged and the handicapped."
But it is generally being re-.ferred to as a "tax break" forthe "poor." Many people have avery limited view of poverty,which is really quite extensive.For many, the poor are a relatively few persons within theirimmediate general environment.

Vermont HouseRefuses to AidPorish Schoo~s
MONTPELIER (NC)-TheVermont House of Representatives refused to accept a $100,000 appropriation request to help parochialschools hire more lay teachers'next year and thus offset schoolclosings.
The chamber voted 82-59against the money request whichhad been reduced from $250,000.
The original amendment seeking the emergency funds wasoffered by Rep. Brian Burns. Hisproposal ran into oppositionfrom some lawmakers who questioned the propriety of givingpublic aid to private institutions.
Earlier, the Burlington diocesan school board had issued astatement informing the legislature that as much as $500,000might be required "to financethe cost of additional lay teachers for the 1969-70 school year."
No Further Notice"With this assistance," the
board said, "supplemented asnecessary by financial supportfrom diocesan funds and parishtuition, the diocesan board willbe in a position to commit itselfto the continued operation ofthe. parochial school system011 (0 0" Otherwise, it will haveto announce "that the contraction of the system" will occur.
The diocesan board held aclosed meeting fol1owing thelegislative action but issued nostatement.
Paul Guare, a representativefor Catholic education at the'state legislature, said the Houserefusal of the appropriation request had freed Catholic officialsfrom any obligation to give thepublic sector further notice .ofelementary and secondary parochial school closings.
Priests Give ViewsAbout New Bishop
LONDON (NC) - The priestsof the Brentwood diocese willhave a say as to what kind ofman they want to succeed Bishop Bernard Wal1, who has retired at the age of 75. FatherGeorge Towler, a sociologistworking in the Brentwood diocese who drew up the questionnaire, said both John CardinalHeenan and Auxiliary BishopChristopher Butler of Westminster had expressE:d sympatheticinterest.
The priests have not beenasked to name any particularman whom they consider wouldmake a good bishop, or whetherthe choice should be confined tothe diocese. .
They have been asked to define the kind of experience theythink their future bishop shouldhave and what kind of outlookand particular qualities he willneed.

FATIMA (NC)-Further stepswere taken toward the beatification of Francisco and JacintaMarto, two of the children associated with the Fatima apparitions, on the .50th anniversary ofFrancisco's death.
The steps consisted of interviews with several witnessestestifying to the virtues of thetwo children.
It is hoped that the canonicalproceedings toward beatificationcan soon move to Rome. AChurch tribunal has yet to decide on whether or not unapproved veneration has beengiven to the children.

In any case, Father Salmonemphasized,the principle stands.The amount of money due andthe organization to which it isgiven are only minor details.The important thing is that congregations recognize their obligation to aid blC!ck people.
He suggested that since "second collections" are taken up formany other causes, this wouldbe a good way for Catholic dioceses to "present a goodimage," even knowing the ideawould not be well accepted bysome of the faithful.
NBEDC. has the sole right toinsist that reparation moneyis due them.
'Good mage'Father Salmon answered that
NBEDC has the right to claimthis money as much as anyother organization working forthe betterment of black people.However, NBEDC was the firstto make this claim and mostlikely others will wake up andstart demanding the same, eventhough they have not sufferedfrom the initial resistance to theidea as NBEDC has, he said.
oysius J. Wycislo of Green Bayhas appointed five priests tothe diocesan personnel board,which will assist the bishop inmaking future appointments inthe diocese and will make recommendations for appointmentsand transfer of clergy.

call for unity and concertedaction of all branches ofFranciscans was sounded ata meeting of 100 Midwest leaders representing more than 40,000 Franciscan priests, Brothers,cloistered and convent Sisters,and laity.
The meeting at St. Francis Retreat House here in Illinois wasorganized and led by FatherMark Hegener, O.F.M., provincialdirector of the Third Order.
Keynote speaker was FatherSergius Wroblewski, O.F.M., professor of theology at Christ theKing Seminary, West Chicago.To meet world changes and cQn"form with the Church's response,he urged a consensus of Franciscan thought and action tospread certain values.I He listed such values as fraternity in an age of aloneness,use of creatures to serve menand glorify the Creator, a waragainst greed in time of starvation and poverty, nonviolence intime of strife, unceasing adoration amid growing atheism andagnosticism, dialogue with believers and unbelievers,' andatonement for religious disunity.
Servant CommunityFather Wroblewski said the
world has been moving awayfrom the spiritual and, in response, the Church now offersitself as the "suffering servant."The Franciscans' part will be as aservant community, as St. Francis himself had in mind, he continued.
His community "tried to invitethe Church to empty herself ofwealth and power and becomepoor again, so as to truly ruleonly by love," he said.
Father Mark, in a homily during Mass at the beginning ofthe meeting, said the world expects Franciscans to behavelike members of a single family,always ready to help one another and ease one another'sburdens. This dates back to theearly days of Christianity, hesaid.
"All branches of the Franciscan family are now at a historical and religious ~atershed whendecisions must be made and anew spirit awakened. The callnow is for each member to engage himself to bring realizationof the type of fraternal community in the Church in the imageand likeness of its early NewTestament protoype. This is ourresolution," Father Mark said.
Ask Team A.pproachTo Parish Problems
CLEVELAND (NC) - Bettercommunications and more cooperation between priests and Sisters in parishes were called forat a meeting of some 130 pastors and 120 nuns here.
They heard a "team approach"to parish problems urged byMother Annunciata, superior general of the Ursuline nuns ofCleveland, and Mother MaryEileen, mother general of theSisters of St. Dominic, Akron.
Mother Annunciata told thepastors that Sisters are ready,willing and available to becomeinvolved in significant activitiesrelated to their teaching aposto-'late, and that some communitieshave revised their rules to makethe Sisters more available.
She asked the pastors to initiate dialogue with Sisters andurged that each parish become"team oriented" with priests,Sisters and laity working together.

The Catholic community would,under such a system, concentrate attention on all of itsschool children. Only half 'theCatholic elementary' school children and a third of the highschool children are in Catholicschools at present, he said.
Such an arrangement couldapply to Protestant and Jewishchildren as well, and thus helpsupply the religious dimensionto modern society now s~dly ne-glected, he said. I
Giving his views at a pressconference, Father Hesburghsaid college students feel 'la kindof moral ambiguity about society,· a kind of spiritual' emptiness about it."
The percentage of students"who want to destroy the placeas an initial move toward destroying society" which theythink is utterly corrupt is verysmall, but the .majority of students do have "some very serious and real questions to ask"about American society, headded.

Fred M. Hechinger, an editorial writer for The NewYork Times, has pointed out that one theme which runsthrough all student uprisings and which dare not !Je overlooked is that of cameraderie. After the occupatIOn of abuilding at Harvard a student reporter could write, "Whatwas most euphoric, however, was us and what we wereto each other. For those few hours we were brothers andsisters .... we were very together."
The poignancy of such a remark which is commonto so many student protests should not be lost ,or lightlybrushed aside.
Many students are lonely.' They are l~oking--for a togetherness which perhaps they never had- in their ownfamilies and do not have in college. A protest, a rebellion,a cause-these things link them together, in a cameraderieof daring and danger. And they receive an emotional uplift from banding together against an establishment or an
, institution.
College life puts a premium on individual effort andachievement and thus it encourages a loneliness. Studentsface exams and examiners one by one and stand or fallfor now and their whole future on what they know or onwhat they answer or fail to answer in test papers and reports.
This puts pressures on them. They are tempted to rebel against the lonely life of reason and to give scopeto the emotions and especially if this can be done in unionwith others of like loneliness and boredom and desire fortogetherness.
It is unfortunate that families and society and teachers have not prepared people. to be able, to be alone attimes without being lonely, dedicated to reason withoutbeing devoid o( emotions, at peace with the communityof one's fellows while able to be at peace within oneself.

CCD Experimental Program RevealsTeens Seek Sincerity, Variety in Classes
By Dorothy Eastman
All good things come to an end, even experimental CCO programs, as students andteachers from four Taunton parishes are discovering. Four years ago CCO groupsfrom St. Mary's, St. Joseph's, St. Anthony's and Immaculate Conception parishes embarked on an experimental program to find out what advantages there might be inpooling their talents. Highschool students from thefour parishes began comingto Bishop Cassidy HighSchool on Sunday mornings forthe innovative program.
Sister Rose Lamb, the HolyUnion Sister who structuredand directed the courses, sat ata table in the foyer of theschool on the last day of classesand spoke of her regret at having to resign from the program.A delegation of teachers had justapproached her expressing theirdisappointment at its conclusion.
The stu den t s apparentlythought so too. Sister had asked them to comment on theC.C.O. program and they responded with candor and generally with enthusiasm.
A freshman girl wrote withgreat warmth about her interestin the three courses she tookthis year, and commented on oneteacher who also happened to bethe prindpal of her school,Taunton High.
Speaking of her class withhim she said, "It gave me a better understanding of the kindof person he is. Not only a principal from my school, but areal true person who wanted tohave a better understanding andtrust of his students."
Another student, who was impressed by the qualities of theteachers, wrote ."The adultswere fine-not some kind ofreligious freaks but real peoplewho tried to have us benefitfrom their mistakes and misgivings."
A freshman boy said "I didn'tmiss a week of this program. 1like it because it. expresses otherthought.s. You see. and know
Amore people through this."

There had been talk that hemight stop in Alexandria, Egypt,at the invitation of Coptic Christians there. And the Sudanesegovernment, since fallen in acoup d'etat,had invited him totouchdown at Khartoum.
The published schedule beginswith the Pope's departure fromRome's Fiumicino Airport at 7:30on the morning of Thursday,July 31. It ends with his departure from Uganda at an unspecified time in the evening of Saturday, Aug. 2, on the flight backto Rome.
Announce PlansFor Pope's TrmpTo Uganda
VATICAN CITY (NC)Pope Paui VI's African pilgrimage, taking up threefull days instead of the twoearlier anpounced, will includean ecumenical encounter at thehill where Catholic and AnglicanAfricans died together for theircommon fidelity. to Cprist.
The Pope will also meet theUgandan government: leadersand parliament, several hundredbishops from throughout Africa,and some of the neediest andmost deprived Africans in centers of social assistance.
On the hill where 13 Catholicsand 15 Anglicans burned todeath in 1886 rather than denytheir Christian faith, the Popewill baptize a group of catechumens.
All this emerged from the program of the Pope's pilgrimagepublished by the Holy See.
Yet what may be the most significant encounter of all was notmentioned: his meeting along thecountry roads and in towns andcities with hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions ofAfricans who will see a Pope setfoot on the African continent forthe first time.

Recruit MinorityGroup Students
WASHINGTON (NC)-A spotcheck of U. S. Catholic universities found indications there arewidespread eft'orts in the mak·ing to recruit more black andother minority group students tothe campuses.
The survey also found tUs ef·fort is largely an individual oneon the part of each of theschools, with little coordinationamong them; that the schoolsare hampered here as elsewhereby a shortage of funds necessaryto do the job, and that the universities may be faced by theadditional problem of competition from older and richerschools, equally desirous of having more blacks and other traditionally neglected members ofsociety in their academic flmks.
"We have made a concertedeffort this year to recruit moreblack and Puerto Rican studentsthrough all the regular recruitment procedures," said HandselMinyard, assistant to the executive vice president of FordhamUniversity.
"Even to the extent of sendingour own black and Puerto Ricanstudents to recruit.' We havebeen successful in getting kidswho otherwise would not be go·ing to college."
Minyard, a Negro, believessimilar efforts are underway inother Catholic colleges and universities but, like other officialscontacted, is not sure how many.He feels that "the amount of coordination or even communication (among these schools) is notnearly as great as it should be,"and that the schools have notavailed themselves of the opportunity to help one another inwhat should be a common con·cern.
Must IngredientInitiative is to success what a
lighted match is to a candle.-Battista.

Reeher said that a student'smajoring in religion would not,of itself, bar him from receivingstate aid.
"This does not constitute theology," he said. "But we do haveto look at each individual schoolto determine eligibility.
"A priest or nun would be eligible for aid in a liberal artscourse, for example.
"In the ca~es where the programs of study have been disqualified, it has been based onthe institution's requirement thata student enroll in a certainnumber pf required courses ofreligion or theology.. "It is important to note that inno case has there been a rulingconcerning a student who haselected to enroll in a religionmajor in schools other thanthose previously cited."
Only two of the 13 schools affected by the PHEAA ruling arelisted as Catholic institutions:Assumption College for Sisters,Mendham, N. J., and MaryknollCollege, Glenn Ellyn, III.

He asked them, and heads offamilies and educators, to "rejectmodes of living and thinkingwhich are alien to Christiantraditions. "
HARRISBURG (NC)-KennethR. Reeher, director of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), saidstudents in some church-relatedcolleges are eligible to qualifyfor scholarships under the agency's program.
Reeher said some misunderstanding had been caused by hisagency's recent ruling disquali·fying students attending somedozen church-related schools.mostly Protestant Bible colleges.
He said the law permitsPHEAA to grant aid to all students except those in seminariesand schools of theology. Earlyin 1967, counsel for the agencybegan making a list of schoolswhose students would no longer
'be eligible for scholarships.On May I, 1967, the agency
ruled that the Philadelphia College of the Bible was not on theeligible list for state scholarshipsor loans. Recently 12 additionalschools were added to the list.

He said, "I always feel I'vefailed when, after I've givena talk, parents come to me andwish me good luck."
Father Blum, from MarquetteUniversisty's political science department, told an audience ofparents, nuns and priests thattax funds for non public schoolswill not be forthcoming unlessthere is strong grass roots support to force policy makers toadopt the necessary legislation.
"Seven million children inchurch-related schools are political orphans because thereare no large interest groups tospeak for them," he added. Thepriest noted that legislators reospond to pressure from interestgroups and called on parents toorganize to inflpence the government.

And even if all your medical and hospital bills were covered, what about all yourothe. expenses-the bills that keep pilingup at home-the tremendous and costly upset to your budget, your reserves and yourfamily life?

All your unmarried dependent children (and furure additions)between 3 months and under 19 are included, atno extra cost, as long as they live at home.
If you are the only parent living with your children, we suggest the ONE-PARENT FAMILYPLAN. This covers you and all eligible childrenliving at home between 3 months of age and under19. Under this plan, of course, furure additionsare not included since no maternity benefit isprovided in the ONE·PARENT FAMILY PLAN•.
If you have no children, or if your childrenare grown and no longer dependent on you, youwill want the HUSBAND·WlFE PLAN.

pital?Each plan has its Own "Aggregate of Benefits,"what we call the maximum.

You, of course, can drop your pol.icy on any renewal date.13. Why is the Hospital Plan for Catholics al-
most like having an extra "bank account"?
When your policy is issued, your insurance provides up to $10,000, $7,500, or $5,OOO-depending on the Aggregate of Benefits of the plan youchoose. This is your "Health-Bank Account."
Then, every month your policy is in force, anamount equal to your regular monthly premium(including your first month) is actually added toyour maximum. When you have claims, benefitsare simply subtracted from your "account."14. Are there any other unusual benefits?Yes. In the event of an accidental death (within90 days of an accident) of any person covered,$500 will be paid to the covered person's bene·ficiary (you may name your parish as beneficiaryif you wish) subject to the 'maximum (Aggregateof Benefits) of your policy.
15. Will my claims be handled promptly?Yes. With your policy, you will receive a simple,easy-to-use Claim Form. Your claims' will be processed quickly and your checks sent directly to you.
16. Why are the premiums in the Hospital Planfor Catholics so low?
You actually get all these benefits-at such a lowcost-because this is a mass enrollment plan-andno sale~men are used. Our volume is higher andour sales costs are lower. .
17. How much does my first month cost?Only $1.00, regardless of your age, the size ofyour family or the plan you select.

Seemodest increase in box at left.)18. Why should I enroll right now?Because an unexpected sickness or accident couldstrike without warning - and you will not becovered until your policy is in force. Remember,if for any reason you change your mind, you mayreturn your policy within 10 days and your $1.00will be refunded immediately.

Do you possess a spirit of adventure? Have you desired .attimes to conquer the world? Are you eager to share your ChriStian joy with the entire world? Are you so convinced. of the va~ue
of your Faith that you wish everyone possessed thiS great gift?In short, do you have a sense of mission?
The missionaries do! They seem to be caught up in the spiritof Christ's joy and concern for mankind. With enthusiaslm andlove, these generous men and women carry the message of Christto the far corners of the globe.
Often these missionaries' are beset by trials and difficulties.Lack of funds, insufficient personnel, deficiency of educatio!'aland medical facilities place extraordinary demands o~ the faith,hope and trust of the missionary.
In 'one Indian diocese, the average Sunday collection doesnot exceed one dollar in any mission center. Ninety-five percent of the Catholics there are farmers, and out of these seventyfive per cent never have enough to eat. A discouraging factorto the most zealous missionary!
In a certain area of this same diocese, a mission was startedby a single priest. No lay assistants! No fellow priests! He .needed 'the help of the Sisters to instruct the women folk and to supervise the little children at the school. When the Sisters were finallyable to come, the missionary did not have a house to shelterthem. Se he decided to live in a hut and give his own house tothe Sisters. What a remarkable example of dedication and sacrifice on the part of this priest!
Despite difficulties such as these, the missionary,...continuesto trust in the goodness of God and the generosity of Catholicsthroughout the world. His sense of mission, his belief in theimportance, of his work, carry him through the most severe trials.
Put your sense of mission to work. Sacrifice today so that amissionary can, c;ontinue his dedication of salvation and serviceto mankind.
The missionary gives up so MUCH. Can y~u give up a LITTLE?

Dunne Peers Into ComplexBusiness of Film-Making
By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy
To read John Gregory Dunne's The Studio (Farra,Straus and Giroux, 19 Union Sq. West., New York, N.Y. '10003, $5.95) immediately after Mr. Bridge is to perceivefresh merit in the bromide that truth is stranger thanfiction. In The Studio, Mr.Dunne is giving us carefullyarranged sections of his observations during a year of
,. peering into the complex andincredible business of film-making at the Twentieth C e n t u r yFox plant' inHollywood.
"I had the'fee lin g," hewrites, "that bywatching motion pic t u r epeople at work,I could see andperhaps understand theirethic." , The r ewas, for example, the mysteryof why "failure escalated thepossibilities of success."
"You fail' upward here," hewas later told. "A guy makes aten-million-dollar bomb, the bigthing is' not that he made a'bomb, but that he put together a:ten-million-dollar picture. Nexttime out, they give him a twelvemillion~dollar picture. It's crazy,bUt that's how it work's. Theworst thing that can happen toyou is to have a small success."
Mr. Dunne attended every sortof conference having to do withfilm production. He blandly looked and listened during meetingsand on the set, at meals and atpreviews.
Isolated From RealityThe result is as surgical, in
formative, and damning a bookon the Hollywood industry asone can remember. Every degreeof the movie hierarchy is caughtin a pitiless lens and on a high
. fidelity sound track. Every specimen, from the over-bearing bossto the quaking sycophant, isself-impaled.
The wonder'is that occasionally from the hands of these crude,conniving, foulmouthed peoplethere comes work which is trueand beautiful. The movie world,as here seen, appears to be isolated from, and different to, thereal world, in which its productis so powerful a social force.
It is doubtful that Mr. Dunnewill be invited back to TwentiethCentury Fox, but then again wemay read in tomorrow's paperthat the studio has bought hisbook for half a million dollars.
Mr. Bridge ,Is it possible to write a novel
about a dull man? Yes, of course.But there is always the risk that,with such a subject, the novelitself will be dull. Evan S. Connell;" Jr" took that chance whenhe began his latest work, Mr.Bridge (Knopf, 501 MadisonAve., New York, N.Y. 10022,$5.95). But, except for some fewhumdrum passages, he !'Jas succeeded in avoiding dlJlIness,

"Two existing facilities whichfor over 50 years have earnedcommunity support are now tobe deprived of needed funds, collected for them," he said. However, the inadequate funds "willbe diverted to a non-existentthird facility of enormous cost."
The bishop said the new hospital would cost $10 million.
It is regrettable, the bishopcontinued, "that differences ofopinion have arisen concerninghow we can best implement ourobjectives and make improvedand additional hospital facilitiesof high quality available for ourpeople."
Seek to CurbBlock-Busting
HILLSIDE (NC)--"-Attempts toencourage real-estate transactions here through either threatsor fabrications will be punishable by fines of up to $200 or 30days in jailor both.
The penalties are contained inan unusual municipal ordinanceadopted by the Township Committee in an effort to put an endto "block-busting" real estateoperations.
Hillside, a small communitybetween Newark and Elizabeth,has become the target for quickbuck real estate operators preying on neighborhood fears as aresult of disturqances in theother two municipalities.
In addition to facing municipalprosecution, offenders would bereported to the New Jersey RealEstate Commission and face apossible loss of license as a result of a recent court decision affirming'the right of any municipality to protect' itself from"unethical" real estate transactions.
The usual block-busting technique finds unscrupulous operators driving the price of realestate down by preying on thefears of homeowners. 'Once theblock is "busted" through rapidfire sales to minority-groupmembers at inflated prices, thepressure to sell is increased onthose remaining, with even lower prices being offered.

PennsylvaniaAutonomy of
ALLENTOWN (NC) - BishopJoseph McShea of Allentownsaid here he cannot give his approval "to an approach to thehospital problem in the Allentown area which does not protect the integrity of SacredHeart Hospital as a Churchrelated institution."
He said he is convinced theapproach "is visionary and unrealistic from a financial pointof view."
The proposed plan providesfor a joint facility for AllentownHospital and Sacred Heart Hospital. The plan claims it "willlead to dramatic improvement"of existing hospitals in the area,including the two which willalso have joint facilities.
This plan was outlined in abrochure distributed by theAllentown Ah~ad campaign committee which launched its funddrive in 1966.
The boards of trustees at bothhospitals approved the proposedmerger and construction of jointfacilities, and commissioned Ellwyn Spiker as administrator ofthe proposed joint AllentownSacred Heart Hospital Center.Spiker began his duties in Marchafter $6 million was raised incontributions and pledges for theproposed improvements.
Bishop McShea said it is "extremely difficult to foresee howit will be possible to finance theconstruction of a new facilityand at the same time update theobsolete facilities at both SacredHeart Hospital and AllentownHospital with the funds'in hand.The latter task was the originalpurpose of the Allentown Aheadcampaign."
Spiker, however, denies thiswas the original purpose of thecampaign.
Resigns From Board"Nowhere in the (campaign)
brochure does it say that thismoney will be for the hospitalsthemselves. No funds were setaside for improvement at theindividual hospitals," he said.Rather, the emphasis 'is placedon the proposed joint facility tobe constructed, he added.
Bishop McShea originally hadgiven his approval (last June) tothe fund drive with the reserva.tion that diocesan-owned Sacred Heart Hospital be assuredof keeping its identity and autonomy.
The Sacred Heart Hospitalboard of trustees (in November)requested the bishop's resignation as hospital president, andsuggested he become chairmanof the board. However, the bishop in turn refused the offer andresigned from the board entirely.
Since his resignation he, hadmade no public statements onthe matter until April 20. "1 nowfeel compelled as bishop of Allentown to state my views publi~ly," he said in announcing hisdIsapproval of construction ofthe joint faCility.

.~;,--"jl Expresses Views. On Church Unity
. l LONDON (NC)-The Angli-can Primate, Archbishop MichaelRamsey of Canterbury, declaredhere: "I see the Pope as havinga sort of providential leadershipwhich in a united Church Iwould be prepared to follow."The archbishop, speaking at an
open discussion at London University's Catholic chaplain(.y,added: HI would never call the
, Pope head of the Church, as Isee Christ as the head."
Questions to the primate in agood-humored, relaxed, butnonetheless serious meeting, centered mainly around Dr. Ramsey's views on church unity.
When one student asked himif individuals should attend services of other religions, Archbishop Ramsey replied thatCatholics would be welcome to
, attend Anglican services and receive communion there, but hewould remind such Catholicsthat receiving Anglican communion was contrary to the teaching o~ their own Church.
Asked about women priests,he said: "I thik that the time willcome when both Anglicans andCatholics will have women aspriests, but," he added laughingly, "we won't have them untilyou do."
On worker-priests the primatesaid he believes in priests doingordinary jobs, but added that hesuspects the movement wouldnot go very far.

Acting' GracefullyThe BSC has also been in
contact with the Black ClergyCaucus and was represented atthe recent BCC meeting in NewOrleans.
That meeting last August didmore than just bring about aself-examination for the nuns; itspurred them into action.
Of course, not all the reactionto the NBSC was favorable. Afew letters were received priorto the August meeting, accusingthe nuns of propagating separatism in the Church.
Sister Martin de Porres said:"1 do not believe in writing
statements in support of anypartic.ular political or Religiousconcern . involving racism because I feel that acting gracefully is more important thanwriting aggressively unless action were definitely going to follow the statement.

happens when black nuns organ- .ize? A quick and strong responseis heard-good and bad.
Late last AUJust, ISO blackSisters left here and scatteredthroughout' the country with anewly found common bondtheir blackness.
They had spent a week atMount Mercy College, listeningand talking about black problems and black power' in thecountry, the .community and theChurch. .
From this' first meetingevolved the National Black Sisters Conference (NBSC)-one ofthe few recognized voices of thatsegment of the Catholic commu"nity in this country.
Encompassing more than 1,000black Sisters 'in the U. S., theNBSC has become a centralclearinghouse where priests whoare looking for black teachingnuns, nursing nuns, catechists orsocial workers can write for advice and referrals. The addressis 3333 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh,Pa., 15213.

Sisters were distributed amongthe three predominantly blackcommunities of nuns' in this'country and others in predominantly white Religious communities which have only a handfulof black Sisters each..
According to Sister Martin dePorres Grey, 26, Pittsburgh Sis-ter of Mercy who organized thefirst meeting and is president of
. the NBSC, innumerable such re-quests have been received sinceAugust. One request came from ~
a midwest Confraternity ofChristian Doctrine office for helpin locating black people, nunsand lay people, to staff theirCCD programs in ghettoes.

Why Cities GrewThis leads to the third difficul
ty. Large cities have grown upin Latin America, Africa andAsia latgely to serve the commercial needs of the Atlanticworld. They came· into beingbecause Europe and North·America had modernized andwanted to buy tea .and coffeeand tin and copper- overseas, notbecause the local economy hadbecome modern.
But these large cities now at:tract people from the stagnantcountryside and also keep aliv.e.all the babies born on the spot.So they are growing three andfour times as fast as the countryin general.
And this brings us to thefourth problem-how to employthese crowding millions in citieswhich have grown, no't as a result of industrialization now, butbecause of earlier internationalcommerce. The migrants havearrived ahead of the jobs. Andmodern industry, with its elaborate machines and computers,provides fewer jobs than it did50 years ago.
Yet simpler, more labor-usingtechnologies do not easily compete with modern internationalcorporations. Unemploymeritgrows. In many Cities, 20 to 30per cent of the young people areworkless. Crowded in slums,without skills or hopes, they arethe rebels of tomorrow-or, asin Southern Italy, the rebels oftoday.
But these interlocking problems also suggest how a strategy.of aid might be. worked out. Allprograms of economic assistancedirected to (a) agricultural reform and efficiency (b) stabilizingfamily size (c) building up awider variety of urban centersfor migration and (d) providingmore labor-intensive employ-

In all these strategies, extracapital has a key role to play.Thus the Pope's Fund recentlyset up in the Inter AmericanDevelopment Bank and dedicated to ·land reform is a symbolof the Church's attempt to grapple with the real issues of worldpoverty.

Cities in Latin AmericaGrew Ahead of Need
By Barbara Ward .
Among all the different reasons given for not supporting economic assistance to the poorer countries, onefairly sophjsticated argumeflt is sometimes put forward.It is that we know really very little about the fundamentalneed of development. It follows that we are most unlikely to give or lend ourcapital to the right projectsWe may have all the good willin the world. Our trouble isignorance andfrom it flowsthe "failur.e" ofso many efforts.But, in fact,af~er . 20 yearsof experimentand as manyyears reflectingon the meaningof the experiments, we doknow a lotmore about development than we used to and;if some things are going wrongwhich. they undoubtedly are-weare beginning to have a clearerunderstanding of the reasons forfailure.
In simplest terms, development, economic growth, modernizatjon-call it what you like-isthe process whereby peoplecease to depend for 90 per centof their wealth upon agricultureand begin to move into manufacturing, including in this sector,power and transport and alsointo services-banking, accountancy, sales, advertising, tourismand' so on.
At the end of the process, perhaps not more than 10 per centof the people are left in agriculture. Perhaps 25 to 30 per centof the workers are in industry,the rest in services. And sincemanufacturing and a wholerange of services need peopleclustered together, modernization implies moving into urbanareas.
Industrialization and urbanization have always gone togetherand the stimulus, example, variety, demonstration effects and"melting pot" aspects of the cityhave speeded up the process ofchange.
Balanced TnmsformationBut in the 19th and early 20th
century, these transformationsof rural people into city dwellers, of agricultural workers intoindustrial craftsmen or intoclerks and accountants andsalesmen-took place in a moreor less balanced way.' Peoplemoved out of farming because
. jobs were beginning to be offered in the textile mills' and ironfoundries of the new industrialsystem.
At the same time, better methods in farming - fertilizing,metal ploughs, rotation of crops-increased food output in spiteof a decline in the labor .force.The towns offered jobs in manufacturing, the countryside offered food; the exchange betweenfood and manufactures helpedboth sectors to grow and modernize.
The process was not painless.But it did succeed in drawingthe whole of society into an expanding economy.
But in the last half of the 20thcentury, this transformation isnot going ahead in the same reasonably balanced and successfulway. And there are at least fourreasons why the patter,n is different. In the first place-as we

When the Rev. Msgr. Albert Berube celebrated the golden anniversary of his ordination Sunday, it was in St. Anthony's Church, New Bedford, where .he has served 32years, the last 20 as pastor. To the monsignor, "this is home." But then, that is, theway he feels about the priesthood, too. Fifty years ago, when he was ordained inCharny, P.Q., by the lateLouis Cardinal Begin, ayoung Albert Berbue delivered his life into God'shands. He has absolutely no regrets.
"I would start my life all overagain doing the same things.Sometimes you get discouraged,t-ut then you know God is takingcare of you the proper way," hesays.
"Everything in my life, Godtook care of. Why should Iworry?"
To Msgr. Berube, these are notidle words.
Born in the United States ofFrench-Cill1adian parentage, hehas known disappointment andstood on the threshold of death.
His father "came to Detroitwith the second wave of Cana·dian immigration," he recalls,and Albert Berube was born inAu Sable, Mich.
Then the family came to NewBedford where his father wasemployed in a textile mill. Anuncle, the Rev. Antoine Berube,had served two years in FallRiver and moved to New Bedford before his brother's familyarrived.

A faculty board of inquirywhich investigated the case declared that the professors' dissent from the Pope's teachingwas proper and even necessary.In Buffalo, however, the dissenting seminary teachers weretransferred from their p<?sts.
Bishop McLaughlin, diocesanchancello.r, commented that theregulations of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), on which theC~tholic University decision waslargely based, "are not exactlyrelevant to a theological school* * * as we have a Code ofCanon Law which also must betaken into consideration."

Bishop Brizgys, who resideshere, said: "Lithuania now hasso few priests that even old andinvalid priests are being pressedinto service for pastoral work."
This, he explained, is becauseSoviet authorities permit onlyfive new priests to 1le ordained ayear, while 30 priests die annuaHy. In an effort to correct thissllortage, a group of priestssigned a petition addressed togovernment authorities in Moscow asking that more prbsts bepermitted ordination in lithuania. Bishop' Brizgys continued.There were sufficient candidatesdesiring to enroll in the onlyremaining Lithuanian seminaryat Kaunas, he said.
Three priests took the petitionto Moscow, the exiled bishopcontinued, and "Moscow's replywas this." One of the priests isbeing called to trial for "allegedcriticism of Soviet authorities"and tile other two are forbiddento exercise their priestly duties,the bishop reported.
They have been given 30 daysto find civilian jobs or they willbe taken to a concentrationcamp for an indefinite period.,Bishop Brizgys said.

"All recipients of food stampsshould receive a total amount ofcoupons adequate to 'the purchase of such a diet, regardlessof the purchase price they pay,"Father McCarthy said. "To provide less would mock the purposes of the program."

WASHINGTON (NC) - "Thepolicy of this government shouldclearly state that no person shallbe denied an adequate diet forreason of poverty."
This declar.ation was deliveredto the Senate Agriculture andForestry Committee hearing testimony on proposals to modifythe Food Stamp Act of 1969.
Making the declaration wasFather John McCarthy, director,Division for Poverty, Social Development, United States Catholic Conference. He was speakingfor USCC, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, andthe National Council ofChurches.
"The real test of any nation'scommitments," Father McCarthysaid, "lies not in its rhetoric butin its budget. A reformed foodstamp program must be adequately funded."
Father McCarthy said it is"morally outrageous ':' * * thathunger and malnutrition exist inthis country needlessly.
"For the religious person," hesaid, "the issue of hunger andmalnutrition existing in a landof plenty is primarily a moralissue."
He said it is the duty of thejust man to care for the needsof those more unfortunate thanhe and that "wealth is seen notas a private preserve; rather it isto be shared for the bettermentof all."
National StandardsFather McCarthy cited the
government's food stamp program as one of the means tohelp improve the diets of peoplewith inadequate incomes.
The food stamp' program, hesuggested, "ought to have national eligibility standards," and~allowances would have to bemade for regional variations inthe cost-of-Iiving, of course."

TORONTO (NC)-It is estimated that 30 million obscene books and magazinescome into Canada each year.And Toronto is rated as one ofthe biggest centers for pornographic literature in North America.
"If there's ever a city that hasbeen taken by surprise by thisflood of books, it's Toronto,"criminal lawyer Garry K.C.Braund said. "People havelabeled Toronto, rightly orwrongly, as being the first orsecond center for pornographyon the continent. California hasbeen mentioned as the head andNew York has 'honorable mention,' but Toronto is a real cesspool, not only for Americantrash coming in, but also fromDenmark and Sweden."
And parents and teachers arebeginning to worry. .
Easy AccessSister Marie Zelie, principal
of Our. Lady of Fatima School inScarborough, confiscated a number of these obscene magazinesat school. She wrote letters toparents of 7th and 8th gradechildren, asking them to dosomething about it.
"Several parents have phonedto say how alarmed they are.Children have access to this typeof literature. Anybody can pickup this trash at certain stores,"the nun said.
Mrs. Ruth Harrington, Torontohousewife, tried to get her corner druggist to stop selling suchmagazines, or place them out ofreach of children.
"I said to him, 'You wouldn'tput these on your coffee table athome for your children to lookat, would you?' He said hewouldn't. I said then why areyou then putting them in a placefor my children to look at? Hedidn't have much to say," sherelated.
"If he is selling these now,what will it be like, two to fiveyears from now?" she asked.
John Diefenbaker, former primeminister of Canada, recently tolda religious conference here thatchurches must unite to fight "aflood of filth and obscenity"reaching the Canadian public.He said Canada has no effectivelaw against obscenity, and filth"virtually enjoys an open season."
"I think we are all a little bitlike ostriches." Mrs. Alice Durst,mother of nine, said. "If wedon't look at it, we think it willgo away. Parents see so much ofit around that they don't knowwhere to start. Even innocentlooking pocketbooks can curlyour hair. We housewives don'tlike to see an increase of thistype of magazine, but we all feela little bit futile. Many housewives like me never stop to lookat these books, and if we did,we would feel embarrassed."
About eight years ago, theCatholic Women's League of theToronto archdiocese made an attempt to stop the smut traffic.Mrs. Evelyn Markle, president atthat time, recalled: "When Ithink back to those days, wewere complaining about thatwhich is comparatively mildtoday. Now it's just nauseating."

Continued from Page OneBishop Feehan High School, Attleboro, and Diocesan Directorof the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, will also continuein both posts.
Born in Providence, R.I., May21, 1922, the son of Mrs. William Hurll of Fall River, thenew administrator attended St.Patrick School,. Fall River; Monsignor Coyle High School, Taunton; Providence College and St.Mary Seminary, Baltimore, Mary-land. .
Ordained 'a priest by MostRev. James E. Cassidy on June15, 1946. Father Powers hasserved at St. Patrick Church,Falmouth; St. Joseph Church,
. Taunton; and has been chaplainat Bishop Stang and Bishop Feehan High Schools.
Since the' founding of St.Mark Church, Attleboro Falls,Father Powers has assisted Rev.Raymond W. McCarthy in thepastoral work in that part ofthe Diocese.
he is not advocating a return oflaissez-faire in which the economyis left alorie.
On the contrary, he insists, weneed a strong and very activegovernment. Indeed, he says, themain purpose of decentralization("reprivatization," as he prefersto call it)' "is to restore strengthand . performance capacity tosick and incapacitated government. ...
This it would do, he argues, byrestoring to the State its properfunctions-making fundamentaldecisions, focusing the political energie:> of the community,dramatizing issues, presentingfundamental choices, in a wordgoverning..
Decentralization, Mr. Druckerconcludes, . "would not be justanother form of 'federalism' inwhich local rather than centralgovernment discharges the 'doing' tasks. It would be a systematic policy of using the other,the nongovernmental institutionsof the society of organizations,for the actual 'doi'1g', Le., forperformance, opera~ions, execution."
Sensible AdviserI haven't any way of knowing
whether or to what extent theNixon Administration's announced preference for a program of voluntaryism (decentralizatio)1 or reprivatization) isbased on Mr. Drucker's writings.
It would appear, however, thathis influen::e is being felt in theWhite House. For my own part,I am rather happy about this, forDrucker' is a sensible adviser inthe field of economic and socialpolicy. .
It would be most unfortunate,however, if the Administrationwere to base its own program ofvoluntaryism on a partial or distorted reading of Drucker's writings on this ·subject.
His philosophy of decentralization or reprivatization; asnoted above, starts from the assumption that we need a vigorous, a 'strong, and a very 'activegovernment and that decentralization is a necessary means tothis end.
If the Administration's program of voluntaryism is basedon this same assumption, it des'erves to be given a fair trial. _
Voluntary AgenciesIf, on the other hand, it is
based on the opposite assumption that we can get along witha weak and negative government, it will predictably do moreharm than good, for voluntaryagencies cannot do It alone, asLeo Perl is, Director of the AFL-
- CIO Community Services Activities, pointed out in a recentradio interview.. Vital JS they are to the over
all effort, Mr. Perl is noted, voluntary agencies are incapable ofproviding the tremendous sumsneeded to do the total . job.Funding, :le said, must be thefundamental responsibility ofgovernment.
I take it that ·Norman Maileranq Mr. Moynihan would agreewith this position. I am not sosure about the Wall Street Journal, and. It's a little too early totell about the Administration.but I keep hoping for the best. -

StrongIn 'Voluntaryism
By Msgr. Georg~ G. Higgins
Director, Division of Urban lLife, U.S.c.c.
lt has long been apparent that the terms "liberal" and"conservative" are of limited value, at best, when it comesto labeling or categorizing politicians, writers, editors, andother public figures in the United States. The cun:"entdebate over .. voluntaryismi.e" the' decentralization of·government in the fields ofhealth, housing, job training, etc.-can serve to illustratewhy this is so. The Wall. StreetJournal, which is generally re"garded as beinga conservativepaper and wouldprobably . wantto be known assuch in the trade,is very much infavor of voluntaryism. But soare NormanMailer andDaniel P. Moyninhan, both ofwhom are generally thought of as being inliberal camp.
Mailer's commitment to thephilosophy of voluntaryism hastaken a very practical turn in recent weeks. To the suprise ofmany observers-and presumably to the dismay of others-hehas made the decentralization ofgovernment one of the principalplanks in his platform as a maverick candidate in the currentDemocratic primary for theoffice of Mayor in New YorkCity. .
In an article in the May 18issue of t.he New York TimesMagazine, cxplaining why he decided to run for Mayor of a cityin whicil "cverything is wrong,"he says that "the Conservativeshave been, altogether correctabout one enormous matterwhich is that the. Federal governm~nt has no business whatever in local affairs."
Call for DecentralizationI doubt that eve'n the Wall
Street Journal or Peter F. Drucker, for example, would want togo quite th'at far, althoughDrucker, who is probably themost influential exponent of decentralization 'writing at thepresent time, does say in hislatest book, "The Age of Discontinuity," that there is widespre'addisencharitment with government and that this disenchantment "cuts across national andideological grounds" ana "may
. well be the most profound discontinuity in the world aroundus."
Why this disenchantment?Why is it that people of practically all persuasions are nowcalling for the decentralization ofgovernment?
The principal reason, Mr.Drucker insists, is that the government has not performed."The record over these last 30
, or 40 years," he says, "has beendismal. Government has proveditself capable of doing only twothings with great effectiveness.It can wage war. And it can inflate the currency.
"Other things it can .promisebut only rarely accomplish ,;, ,;, '"Whether private enterprisewould have done worse is noteven relevant. For we expectedperfection from government ,;, ,;, ,;,Instead we only rarely obtainedeven below-average mediocrity."
Systematic PolicyMr. Drucker is at pains to em
phasize that, in calling for thedecentralization of government,

He was just as impressivewith the bat, leading Dartmouthin hitting (.371), in runs scored(14) and was second in runsbatted in with 12. On the baseshe was another threat, leadingthe club in total thefts.
In addition to baseball, Thprley was also a fine running backon the Indian football team. Buthis sport was baseball.
As a freshman on the Bruins'squad, Bob had an incredible0.00 ERA in 19 complete inningsof, pitching. In that time he allowed only six hits, walked threeand fanned 22.
With the bat, Thorley compiled a .361 batting average andwas a double threat, with thebat and on the mound, withWestport of the AmericanLegion.

By Luke Sims
Bob Thorley, a native ofDartmouth and former Dartmouth High School standout athlete, has enjoyed asuccessful season with theBrown University varsity baseball team.
The 6-foot, 185-pound sophomore righthander has a 6-2 record and a sparkling 1.61 earnedrun average through the Bruins'1969 diamond campaign.
Bob started the season in animpressive fashion when hethrew a five-hitter in Brown's8-2 upset conquest of LongIsland University in the Bruins'second outing of an I I-gameSouthern trip.
A few days. later the strongrighthander hurled his secondfive-hitter as the Rhode Islanders shocked defending AtlanticCoast Champion North CarolinaState, 9-2, in Raleigh. His twogame strikeout total registered11 and he had only six walks.In the first 28 innings Thorleyallowed only five earned runs,gave up 20 hifs, 11 walks andboasted 20 strikeouts.
Three Propos<l1sOnly the schools of canon
law, theology and philosophy,and possibly the department ofreligious education, would remain under pontifical statutes,according to the present form ofthe committee's recommendation. A chancellor would benamed for these schools.
The trustees will be asked tochoose among three proposalsconcerning the naming of achancellor for these schools, according to the university source.They are that John CardinalDearden of Detroit, president ofthe National Conference ofCatholic Bishops (NCCB) wouldbecome chancellor; that theNCCB appoint some bishopother than Cardinal Dearden tothe post; and that the archbishopof Washington, who at presentis ex officio chancellor of theentire university, remain chancellor for the schools involved.
The chancellor is responsiblefor safeguarding orthodoxy at apontifical institution.
Need Private DonorsThe university's budgeted in
come from all sources this yearis $21.5 million, including tuition, . government' grants and anendowment fund.
Brother Nivard said it will benecessary for the university tofind more private donors tostrengthen the school's smallendowment fund if it is to survive. It was reported that thenew president, Dr. Clarence C.Walton, who will assume officein the Fall, might spearhead amajor fund-raising drive.
In a related move, a CatholicU. source reported that thetrustees are expected at theirJune meeting to be asked by theStatutes Revision Committeeheaded by Lawrence CardinalShehan of Baltimore to altermost of the university's officialties with the Vatican. .
The Catholic University is apontifical institution, whichmeans it is officially charteredand recognized by the Holy Seein Rome.
Among· some 45 dioceseswhich. met or exceeded theirquotas, according to the reportgiven the bishops, were the following:: New York, $185,000; Detroit,$175,000; Brooklyn, $160,000; St.Louis, $51,000; New Orleans,$62,500; Denver, $26,000; Hartford, $80,000; Richmond, $25,500.
Also, Chic\lgo, $250,000, which~as 106 per cent of its quota;Washington, D. C., $44,000, 120per cent of quota; Louisville,$23,000, 116 per cent of its quota; Columbus, $19,500, 108 percent of quota; Fall River, $30,558, 107 per cent of quota; -Burlington, Vt., $15,539, 110 percent of quota; Saginaw, $19,570,112 per cent of quota; Atlanta,$5,000, 105 per cent of quota.
The Baltimore archdiocesegave $36,000, some 75 per centof its quota.
The Los Angeles archdiocesereportedly gave $20,390, or 12per cent of its $165,000 quota.The Philadelphia archdiocesecontributed $91,000 or 67 percent of $135,000. The Bostonarchdiocese had given only 25per cent of its $185,000 goal;and the Cleveland diocese, only28 per cent of an expected$86,500.
Among large dioceses reportedto have contributed nothing sofar this year were Newarkwhose quota was set at $160,~000; Pittsburgh, with a $95,000quota; Cincinnati, $53,000 quota; ,Miami, $44,000 quota; and Seat- &is) pt"y'C' Studall'l:lt~tie, $30,000 quota. ~U ..... ~ g ;;1)

About 150 hippie-styled protestors gathered with signs at thewest' end of the St. BonaventureUniversity parade grounds, contrasting with the 1,851 universityROTC students, well scrubbedand polished, who marched in review.
Perhaps the most strikingthing about the ceremony, however, was the audience, estimated at anywhere from 1,000 to2,000, well above the usualturnout .Many of those attending came from neighboringOlean to show s.upport for thepolicy on campus dissent adopted by Father Reginald A. Redlon, O.F.M., university president.
The protestors made no attempt to disrupt the annual.ROTC ceremony, possibly in deference to Father Redlon's
. warning that he would not tolerate interference with the event.
The priest has also bannedthe campus unit of the leftistStudents for a Democratic Society (SDS).
About 50' persons marchedthree miles from Olean afterMontgomery Shoemaker, a localbusinessman and American Legion leader, suggested a demonstration of solidarity behind theFranciscan college president.
The only action from theyounger anti-ROTC demonstrators-many of them said to benon-students-came during theplaying of the Star SpangledBanner, when they raised clenched fists in a gesture of defiance.
Protestant ChurchHonors Archbishop
DENVER (NC) - ArchbishopJames V. Casey of Denver waspresented the Churchman of theYear award from the ColoradoConference United Church ofChrist. -
The award was made for thearchbishop's leadership in helping to provide medium and lowincome housing in the fivecounty metropolitan area andand for his contributions to theecumenical climate in Colorado.It is the first such award here bya Protcstant group to a Catholicleader.
The presentation was made bythe Rev. Robinson G. Lapp, aUnited Church of Christ ministcr who heads the Metro Denvcr Fair Housing Center, Inc.,and who has worked with thearchbishop in housing efforts.The center, a non-profit community service organization, hasacted as consultant to the archdiocese in the housing undertaking.
Budget Cuts Necessary in CUScience, Engineering Schools
WASHINGTON (NC) Sources within the CatholicUniversity of America confirmed that the university's'budget will be trimmed nextyear because the 1968 bishops'collection for the pontifical institution fell more than $1.5 million short of its quota.
No precise figures were available on the budget cuts, butsources said they would be feltmost heavily in the university'sscience and engineering schools.The schools of theology andphilosophy will be untouched bythe budget-paring measures.
The U. S. bishops, at theirsemi-annual meeting held inApril, 1968, established a $4.3million subsidy, a figure farhigher than had ever been raisedin the history of the university.For the first time each diocesewas assigned a set quota.
By April 4 of this year, some20 of the nation's dioceses hadfailed to contribute anything'towards their assigned quotas.Forty-five of the dioceses met orexceeded their quotas and about50 paid half or more of theirquotas, it. was reported.
Denies ReportThe total amount collected for
the university, according to figure.s presented to the hierarchyat Its recent meeting in Houston,Tex., was $2,721,000. The bishops had assigned themselves thegoal of raising $4,377,000. Thesubsidy for the previous yearwas $2.3 million.
Last March Brother NivardS~heel, C.F.X., acting rector, denied a report that the universitywas suffering financially becausesome bishops anel .Iay Catholicswere concrned over the fact that20 Catholic U. faculty 'members,mostly theologians, initiated apublic statement of dissent fromthe papal encyclical on birthcontrol.
Nonetheless, sources withinthe university speculated thatsome bishops will end financialsupport of the university nowthat an inquiry board has exonerated the faculty members andcriticized the board of trustees~or ordering an investigationInto whether the professors' dissent from the encyclical was inviolation of their commitment tothe pontifical school.
, Fall River IncreaseThe board of trustees with
held approval of the inquiryboard's report and submitted itto a committee of its own members for further study and evaluation.
