Values, Nixon PlanBut Supports Life

WASHINGTON (NC)-An official of the United StatesCatholic Conference has called President Nixon's messageto Congress on family planning and population growth "apositive and constructive approach to the problem." Fa­ther James T.

At the same time, Father Mc­Hugh said, "basic to our deci­sions on population questionsmust be a strong concern for thedignity of man and the value ofhuman life."

Barth, O.F.M., 61, former Fran­ciscan provincial, has taken of·fice as the first provost of theCatholic University of PuertoRico here. A native of Chicago,Father Barth served from 1954to 1961 as provincial of the Fran­ciscans' Chicago-St. Louis prov­ince and earlier, from 1945 to1954, was a professor and chair­man of the department of educa­tion at D~Paul University, Chi­cago.

In Saigon, Vice President Ngu­yen Cao Ky proposed that SouthVietnam walk out of the Parispeace talks if the other sidecontinues to reje~t PresidentThieu's election pr6posals.

The Greater Union Force partyis made up predominantly ofCatholic refugees from NorthVietnam. One of the few politicalparties in South Vietnam organ­ized on the local level with def­inite popular backing among therefugees, ,it is strongest in theHonai district of Bien Hoa prov­ince of Saigon.

Though the party is not ex­clusively Catholic, its main sup­porters and leaders are Catho­lic.

At the Paris peace talks, theNorth Vietnam and NLF dele·gations denounced Thieu's pro­posal as a "perfidious maneuver"and the North Vietnamese "vig­orously condemend and rejected"it.

DangerBishop Tanner confessed he

was afraid the Church, becauseof the decline of the use of Latinin modern theological works, was"in daJlger of becoming a hodge­podge of little separate linguisticgroups around the world."

He said, due to the trend awayfrom Latin, "the interchange ofideas will be very noticeablyslowed down." He pointed outthat the lise of one tongue andthe maintenance of 1,500 yearsof ,theological continuity waswhat made the Catholic Churchcatholic. He urged the seminar­ians to keep this in mind whenthey resume their studies in theFall.

First, increased research is es­sential. It is clear, for example,that we need additional researchon birth control methods of alltypes and the sociology of popu­lation growth:

Immediate Action"Second, we need more trained

people to work in population andfamily planning programs, bothin this country and abroad: I amtherefore asking the Secretariesof State, Labor, Health, Educa­tion and Welfare, and Interior,along with the Administrator ofthe Agency for International De­velopment and the Director ofthe Office of Economic Opportu­nity to participate in a compre­hensive survey of our efforts toattract people to such programsand train them properly.

"Third, the effects of popula­tion growth on our environmentand on the world's food supplycall for careful attention and im­mediate action.

"Fourth, it is clear that thedomestic family planning ser­vices supported by the FederalGovernment should be expandedand better integrated. Both theDepartment of Health, Educationand Welfare and the Office ofEconomic Opportunity are nowinvolved in this important work,yet their combined efforts arenot adequate to provide informa­tion and services for all whowant them."

Serious Challenge 'Underscoring the importance

of action now in facing up to theproblem, President Nixon toldCongress:

"One of the most serious chal­lenges to human destiny in thelast third of this century will bethe growth of population. Wheth­er man's response to that chal­lenge will be a cause for prideor for despair in the year 2000will depend very much on whatwe do today."

President ExpandedFamily Planning Program

WASHINGTON (NC)-An expanded program on birthcontrol and family planning, to be available within fiveyears to American women of child bearing age in lowincome categories, has been recommended to Congress in aspecial message by PresidentNixon. "Clearly, in no cir­cumstances will the activi­ties associated with ourpursuit of this goal be allowedto infringe upon the religiousconvictions or personal wishesand freedom of any individual,nor will they be allowed to im­pair the absolute right of all in­dividuals to have such matters ofconscience respected by publicauthorities," the President as­serted. .

He proposed that Congress es­tablish a "Commission on Popu­lation Growth and the AmericanFuture" to make recommenda­tions in three areas - probabletrends of U. S. population growthand internal migration betweennow and the year 2000; resourcesrequired to deal with anticipatedgrowth and ways in which thepopulation growth may affect ac­tivities of federal, state and localgovernments.

In his 5,000-word document,the President said in the UnitedStates alone the population willincrease nearly 100 million to atotal of more than 300 million bythe year 2000.

He pointed to the potentialimpact of the global populationif governments, private agenciesand the United Nations fail tobegin dealing now with the com­ing problems.

the United States now there arenearly five million women who"do not have adequate access tofamily planning assistance." .

ChooseSuperior General

ROME (NC)-For the first timein the history of the Society ofthe Divine Savior, an Americanhas been elected its superiorgeneral. He is Father Earl Skwor,S.O.S., of Milwaukee.

The 41-year-old Father Skworwas elected to a six-year termduring the society's generalchapter held in Rome June 3-July12. He is the sixth superiorgeneral since the society wasfounded in Rome in 1881.

The society members, common­ly ealled the Salvatorians, devotethemselves to spreading the faiththrough the sacred ministry, theeducation of youth, retreats, andmissionary work among non­Catholics.

The Milwaukee-born FatherSkwor received his bachelor ofarts degree in' philosophy fromthe Catholic University of Amer·ica in Washington, D.C., in 1949,and a master's degree fromRome's Gregorian University in1954.

CHICAGO (NC)-Eddie Doh­erty, a thrice-married formernewspaper reporter, will be or"dained in the Melkite-Rite priest­hood Aug. 15.

The ceremony will take placein Nazareth and will be per­formed by Archbishop JosephRaya of Haifa, Akka, Nazareth,and all Galilee. DOherty'S thirdwife, two sisters and four broth­ers will attend.

Doherty, 79, is completingstudies for the priesthood inHaifa. After ordination he willbe given an assignment to. con­tinue the work he began withhis third wife, the former Cath­erine de Hueck, a Russian bar­onness in Czarist days, at Ma­donna House in Combermine,Ontario. Doherty's previouswives died.

The Madonna House is dedi­cated to helping the poor anddistressed.

Books and magazine articlesas well as numerous featurestories have come from Doher­ty's prolific pen. His books in­clude "Gall and Honey" and"King of Sinners."

The Melkite-Rite permits ordi­nation of married men, but mar·riage after ordination is not per­mitted. The Church's Latin-Riteforbids ordination of marriedmen.

teachers at the elementary andsecondary levels increased by130. This enabled the school sys­tem to improve the pupil-teacherratio and to decrease class size.At the same time, 72 additionalelementary classrooms were putinto use, three new parishschools and two new highschools were opened."

The total number of teachersin the diocesan school system­6,564-included 4,271 Religiousand 2,293 lay teachers.

In the city of Philadelphia, the110,062 children in parochialschools and 34, Hi9 students indiocesan high schools represent­ed 35 per cent of the entireschool population of philadel­phia. (The Philadelphia publicschools reported a total en­rollment of 285,00.)

Catholic education and· are usu­ally both Catholics themselves.

These parents, he said, givethemselves a higher rating aspracticing Catholics, have ahigher opinion of the need forCatholic schools and feel thatthe quality of Catholic educationis better.

Father Berg's study was basedon questionnaires filled out by797 parents - 329 parents oftransferred pupils and 468 par­ents of persisting pupils in theeight-county diocese of Buffalo.

Capable TeachersThrough his study, the priest

determined that parents of trans­ferred and of persisting studentssee capable teachers as the basicindicator of a school's quality:

However, the two sets of par­ents divide on their second mostimportant criterion in judgingthe quality of a particular schoolsystem. Parents of persisting stu­dents seek moral and ethicaltraining for their children, whileparents of transferred studentswant their children to be taughtto think for themselves.

According to the study, bothsets of parents feel that Catho­lic schools are doing their bestjob in giving moral and ethicaltraining to pupils.

Agree on NeedQuestioned as to the reasons

for Catholic education, both setsof parents surprisingly gave anidentical response. Both groupsfelt the schools were needed inthe following order of impor­tance:

Formation of good and well­educated Christians.

Handing down the teachingsof the Catholic faith to a newgeneration.

Teaching good behavior.Having children taught by a

group of dedicated Christianteachers.

Giving parents a choice be-·tween public and non-publicschools.

"One group (parents of trans­ferred students) is saying 'I seethe reason for the existence ofCatholic schools but I don't havea very strong opinion that theyshould exist to do those things,'"the priest said.

Philadelphia Reports DecreaseOf 6,551 in School Enrollment

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Thefirst major decrease in the stu­dent population in the Catholiceducational institution in thearchdiocese of Philadelphia inrecent years was reported thisweek by the superintendent ofschools. .

In his annual report to JohnCardinal Krol, Msgr. Edward T.Hughes noted that at the end ofthe 1967-68 school year, therewere 294,740 students in the 399educational institutions in thearchdiocese-a drop of 6,551from the previous year.

BUFFALO (NC)-Reasons fortransferring children from Cath­olic schools to public schoolswere determined in a study con­ducted by Father S. TheodoreBerg, assistant superintendent ofCatholic schools in the diocese ofBuffalo. A few of them may up­set the theories of some Catholiceducators.

The 152-page study was under­taken by Father Berg as a doc­toral thesis at the State Univer­sity of Buffalo. It focused on thefactors which influenced par­ents' decisions in transferringtheir children from Catholic ele­mentary schools to publicschools.

Father Berg noted in an inter­view that much previous re­search had concentrated on whyparents enroll their children inCatho'l: schools in the firstplace, but that none had beendone on why they later trans­ferred them to public schools.School officials have had to relyon guesswork regarding the rea­sons, he said.

These are the major findingsof Father Berg's study:

Increasing CostsContrary to the theories of

some Catholic educators, the un­availability of Catholic schools incertain areas is not a major fac­tor in the decline of Catholic el­ementary school enrollment.

Parents who transfer theirchildren from Catholic to publicschools feel the public schoolsoffer better educational quality.

Parents of transferred childrenhave a lower opinion of the needfor Catholic elementary schoolsthan do the parents of presistingstudents, even though both setsof parents agree basically onthe reasons for the existence ofCatholic schools.

Parents of children transferredto public elementary schoolshave a greater concern for in­creasing costs of Catholic schooleducation than do the parents ofpersisting students.

"The dream of yesterday is the hope of today and.the reality of tomorrow."

The young man who spoke these words at his grad­uation from Worcester's South High School at the turnof the century would not have been surprised at the eventsof the last week.

·Dr. Robert H. Goddard, according to his widow, wasso dominated by the desire to see man reach· out intospace that every decision _of his adult life was taken withthis in mind.

It was on July 17, 1929 that he frightened his neigh­bors 'and really started the first step into the cosmic agewhen he sent aloft the world's first liquid-fueled rocketfrom a field near Holy Cross College.

Last Sunday that dream and hope entered into realitywhen Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of themoon - "One small step for man but one great leap for­ward for mankind,"

Man's journey to and on the moon has awakenedthe pride of Americans and the self-consciousness of theentire human race. This sense of pride is tempered byman's awarenes of the vastness of the universe that heis bent on traveling and the smallness of himself and hisown planet.

With the psalmist he can indeed say, "The heavensproclaim the glory of God." .

And perhaps from this point far out in space he canlook back at his earth and see that it is a small lonelyplanet and that its inhabitants are members of a singleworld family for whose well-being he must recommit him­self 'to work.

control as the sale response topopulation growth.

Father McHugh said he didnot agree with all points in thePresident's message-"the sug­gestion that our current socialproblems are largely attributableto population growth, for exam­ple, or the call for immediatenew programs." .

"But," he added, "in its recog­nition that simplistic concentra­tion on family planning is not anadequate response to the many­sided issue of population growth,the President's message marksprogress and opens the door touseful discussion,"

If the Church is to have ameaningful. role in this discus­sion, Father McHugh said, "itcannot afford simply to respondnegatively to Mr. Nixon's initia­tive. Rather, the Church mustlook for what is good in his pro­posals and ·must seek ways tomaximize the good while mini­mizing the possibilities for socialand individual disruption."

Later

On the later day - July 16,1969 - millions of personsthroughout the world watched inawe and applauded with una­bashed pride as the mighty Sat­urn 5 booster rose, slowly atfirst, and then swiftly, atop atail of smoke and flame, towardthe dream that Dr. Goddardknew could be reality.

It seemed more than coinci­dental that one of the men inApollo II, Col. Edwin E. Aldrin,Jr., should have been there. Hisfather, a retired Air Force colo­nel, was also born in Worcester,and studied under Dr. Goddardat Clark University before the"exile" to New Mexico.

Prayers

Bishop Bernard J. Flanagall ofWorcester was one of those whoapplauded the Apollo 11 events.In a statement issued upon thesuccessful launch, he said:

"We pray, as we ask all goodpeople in the diocese and countyof Worcester to pray, that thismission of Apollo 11 will bring* * " 'glory to the name of GodWho gives man such power'; andwe pray, for the safety of thethree brave men who search theheavens for the benefit of allmankind."

The report recommended that"the Board of Education author­ize the continuation of the Ken­nedy-St. Paul shared. time pro­gram, contingent upon the desireof the appropriate authorities."

It also recommended that thefindings of the evaluation beutilized in the planning of anyadditional shared-time programsat the high school level.

Brother Conrad, F.S.C., actingprincipal at 51. Paul high, ex­

-plained the functioning of theshared-time program.

"Our core curriculum consistsof all character building sub­jects," he said. "Religion, Englishand social studies are taken at51. Paul and all other coursesare taken at Kennedy."

Michigan Communoty to Send TeachersTo Other Schools

BAY CITY (NC)-A "reverse"shared-time program, approvedby Bay City Board of Education,will see public school teachersconducting classes in privateschool classrooms. Elwyn J. Bod­ley, superintendent of the publicschool system here in Michigan,will work out the details.

. In the usual shared-timeclasses, students from a non­public school are lransported topublic schools for some classes.

Proponents of "reverse"shared­time see it simpler and safer tomove one teacher to the studentsrather than move some 30 stu­dents to one teacher.

Approval of "reverse" shared­time came on a 4-3 Board of Ed­ucation vote and repres~nted a,reversal of an earlier reversal.The 'concept was rejected by a4-3 vote last August.

"Reverse" shared-time hasbeen a major issue in this heav­ily Catholic city of 55,000 ineast-central Michigan. Last Au­gust, when' a Catholic bid forreverse shared-time support for .their schools was rejected therewas only one Catholic on theBay City Board of Education,"now there are three.

Peripheral ThoughtsThe remarkable accomplishments of the tel'!s of thou­

sands of persons whose ,ingenuity and work made pos­sible the Apollo XI mission that reached its culminationin man's landing and walking en the moon have givenrise to masterpieces of literary praise and also to someperipheral thoughts' as well.

Those_ in the middle years of life' rejoice that theseheroes of the cosmic age of man are not downy-cheekedyouths but mature men - that is, nearing 40 years of age.This in itself gives new life and'vigor to those in this agebracket who were beginning to realize that they h~d

probably already lived more years than they were goingto live.

The events of the last week also gave to the wholeworld the unparalleled example of people working as agroup- and with a sense of order and discipline.

This is a valuable lesson i~deed if it can get throughto those who feel that accomplishment is brought aboutonly be revolution, and that destruction is the road toprogress'.

Violence dramatizes a need but is not its cure. Thedesire for revolution is a sympton of a sickness but isnot its answer.

A look into a problem, the bringing to bear of manyminds upon it, reflection upon what can be done, thensteady and persistent moving forward to accomplish statedpurposes - these are the ways that the moon project wasundertaken and this is still the drill for approaching otherproblems as well.

Imagination and ingenuity ordered by intelligence anddiscipline have won a valuable victory in the' saga ofApollo XI.

"Piece by piece we the peopleof Dade County have strippedthe opponent of housing for thepoor of all its armor," he said."Now, so exposed, -we see theopponent is really we the peopleof Dade County.

..It is we who oppose justifi­able zoning variances * 0:< * it iswe who permit the governmentalagencies to play their games inorder to avoid the admission thatCongress has not appropriatedenough money.

"And' it is we, who, throughour indifference, encourage theCongress to appropriate fundsthat are far less than theamounts they have previouslyauthorized for this pressing prob­lem of housing the poor.

"Our indifference is causingfurther' dehumani~ation of thepoor," Archbisho~ Carroll said."Our indifference causes us tostand shamefaced before ourchildren and the ideals of theAmerican dream."

MIAMI (NC)-Widespread in­difference among the people ofDade County to the urgent needfor public housing "can destroy·us as a community," ArchbishopColeman F. Carroll said here.

In a statement presented tothe county's Community Rela­tions Board, the archbishop saidth~ opponent of low-cost publichousing is '~really we the peopleof Dade County.

..It is we," Archbishop Carrollsaid, "who bring pressure to bearto stop * 0:< * building publichousing in our neighborhoods,"the archbishop said.

Archbishop Carroll said he.was issuing the statement tofocus the attention of the cOrrr­munity on "one of our most se-

. riously deplorable conditions: thelack of decent housing, particu­larly for the poor.;'

In his statement, the arch­bishop said that as much a,s 20per cent of the county's popula­tion is living in involuntary pov­erty.

At first, the reason given (forthe lack of low-cost housing)was' that there were no non­profit groups interested or or­ganized to sponsor this type ofhousing," Archbishop Carrollsaid.

Top on Bottom?

When I married Joe a clamboilcontroversy began in our family.My father insisted that the clamsgo on the bottom of the boil andJoe was equally insistent thatthey go 'on the top.

Every Summer the discussionwould resume al)d while my.father, who was a gentle soulwho hated arguments, would al­low Joe to put the clams on topyou could be positive that hereally didn't feel that this wasthe way it should be done.

Last week I finally bought ahuge clam steamer (an item that Ihave been yearning for over theyears) and in the sheet of in­structions are the directions formaking a New England clamboil.

This manufacturer -also feltthat the clams should be on thetop of the boil because they ofcourse take the shortest q>okingtime. But I'm sure that my fatheris sitting up in heaven saying tohimself that this manufacturertoo really didn't know how tomake an old time boil.

Whether you' put your clamson the top or the bottom, Sum­mer clamboils are one of thenicest things about being a NewEnglander. The next time youserve a clamboil, why not trythis clamcake recipte fOr a de­lightful addition.

This recipe comes from theDighton Historical Society Cook­book and I'm quite sure thiscookbook is still available at theDighton Gift Shop.

Cut We,ekly

By Joseph and Marilyn RoderickI have no idea what 'other people pay for fruit, but

_ our weekly bill is staggering. It seems t~at Marilyn and Iare always picking up bananas, apples, pears, etc., and assoon as they get into the fruit bowl the'y disappear. I'm.afraid that I am· partiallyto blame for this rapid dis­appearance, because I likenothing better than a crispapple or a slice of jucy melon.

As a result, Summer is ratherlike a financial respite for ussince we do have some of ourown fruit, although a very lim­ited amount, and it helps to sat­isfy the children's fruit hungerwithout constant trips to themarKet.

For the past three mornings Ihave had a large helping offreshly picked raspbert'ies forbreakfast, and a perfect break­fast it is. With a dash of sugarand a few drops of cream theseraspberries are fit for a king.And yet of all the things wegrow, these have to be the eas­iest. Except for cutting back thecanes in the Fall, I can honestlysay that nary a minute is spentin their culture. '

For Lazy GardenersFor those of you who have a

sunny spot in the garden andenough room to let the unde~­

ground shoots spread out, thereis n9t a better specimen (or thelazy gardener to deal with. Wehave enough berry plants now toprovide about two quarts'of ber­ries each day; we spend moretime picking the berries than' wedo in caring for them.

Blueberries are another. mat­ter. The bushes this year areover-laden with them, but ourgarden is filled with birds, in­cluding a pair of cardinals whoare having a feast on the blue­berries.We have tried everythingbut netting the bushes and Ithink that if we are to save anyberries next year we will have toresort to that. As it is now, thebirds eat the berries when theyare' just turning red, far tooearly for human consumption.

For those of you who lovefresh fruit of any kind, I wouldstrongly suggest a go at redraspberries. We have one or twoLatham berries and an unknownvariety my father bought yearsago. The latter spreads veryquickly and 'produces a goodjuicy berry.

In the KitchenAs we drive by the seafood

markets along the WestportRiver on our daily trips to thebeach, I can't resist stopping atleast once a week and gettingenough clams and a small pieceof whitefish for a home clamboil.

Joe adores clams and thosewe buy are fresh 'from the seaand kept perfectly clean by beingkept in a continually running saltwater bath until chosen to gracesome hungry tourist's table. Mychildren will eat a few and sowill I, but never do I start aclamboil that my thoughts don'tturn to my late father.

He loved to cook a c1amboilfor family and friends and henever felt that a Summer seasonwas complete until he had servedat least two or three boils.

I remember so well enjoyingthem in my Aunt Grace's yard inSwansea under the evercoolgrape vine. As children, my cous­ins and I were riever big on theclams but we surely did lovethose huge pieces of icy water­melon that we enjoyed at theend of a meal. They were so big

Nuns Take JobsTo Pay Debt

MINNEAPOLIS (NC) - Some40 nuns of the order of St. Bene·dict are working at a variety ofsecretarial jobs in the TwinCities area this Summer. Alltheir salaries are paid directly totheir order, which has an imme·diate and urgent need for themoney. .

The project was begun whenthe Sisters found themselveswithout suffi<:ient income tomeet a large payment on theirnew St. Paul Priory. The situa­tion stemmed from a drop in thenumber of young women joiningthe order, combined with in-creased retirements. '

Sister Rolaine, assistant to themother superior, said the nunswere faced with finding theneeded funds or else refinancingat a three per cent hike in inter­est rates, to eight-and-one-halfper cent.

One Sister contacted a Minne­apolis employment firm whichspecializes in temporary posi­tions. A company official offereda free brush-up course in officepractices before placing the Sis­ters in jobs.

The Sisters wear conservativestreet clothes and black veils onthe job. Sister Rolaine said theveils are removed if employersobject strongly to them.

If the Sisters' efforts are notsuccessful in raising sufficientfunds, Sister Rolaine said,they may have to seek a low­interest loan, or contributionsfrom benefactors. But "wewanted to do this through ourown efforts, if possible," shesaid.

In 1967, a total of 905 adultsand 37 children left the Church;in 1968, the number rose to 1,­333 adults and 38 child~n.

Fake funFash~on

By Marilyn Ro«llell'llckFun, furry and fake seems to be the description of

the coat scene for this coming Fall. It was a dreary Mon­day and the beach seemed lout of the question, so withMeryl in tow and the other two safely harbored at theirNana's, I we'nt on a tour ofthe downtown shopping dis­trict, and couldn't help butnotice the abundance of furfashions. Skirts, weskits, pantsand of course coats are alreadydecorating thestore windowswith theirsmashing fash­ion •• pow."Worn with themare shiny blackboots and otherleather accesso­ries. From thelook of the as­sortment in thestores now, inJuly, it's thetime to pick one up if you wantthe best selection. .

The prices certainly are right,with many full length coats sell­ing in the $100 to $120 pricerange and the shorter versionsaround $50.

Youth, per usual, has adoptedthese fun furs as its own but'many a younghearted and stylishmatron will find one of these theperfect extra coat. I think if itwere your only Winter coat youwould get very tired of it but ifyou feel your budget couldstretch to include a little frivo­lous expenditure, this could be it.

Those who lead a more casualslacks and sports skirts life willfind the short jackets as stylishas the long fakes. Many of theshorter versions are trimmed·with a contrasting long-hairedfur and are belted for a sportylook.

Real FurNow if your budget could

stand a little more stretching andyou want real fur 'instead offake, try one of the very low­priced (for fur, that is) fun furssuch as muskrat, dyed SouthAfrican lamb and Mongolianlamb. Prices on this type of funfur run anywhere from $195 to$535, but then you are gettingthe real thing.

About 13 years ago I purchasedwhat I think was one of the firstfake fur coats to come on themarket. In those days it wascalled Borgana but sadly, be­cause I've always preferred styleover practicality, I bought awhite one.

According to Brother Corbett,the_ results were favorable if oneconsiders "what students learnedabout themselves," rather thanabout the content of courses. Heexpects that students will grad­ually adjust more to their newenvironment of self-responsibil­ity.

'The major goal of the newprogram is "to develop the self­directed learner," Other goalswere listed as follows:

To increase the power of theindividual to live iri his world.

To help the student be a' freeand morally responsible human­being:

To help the student enjoy free­dom through order and self­discipline.

-To help the young studentdevelop skills which make himrelatively independent of helpfrom an adult.

Assert BiafranSituation Pc»sesU. S. Probl'emWASHINGTON (NC)-The

starvaJion of more than amillion persons in Biafra asa result of the Nigerian' civilwar is becoming more of a mor­al problem for the United States,according to both Church andState officials who testified be­fore the Senate Judiciary Sub­committee on Refugees.

This is also what many offi­cials have said, and still are say­ing, about the war in Vietnam.But the quag~ire that engulfedthe U. S. in Vietnam has fnadeofficials cautious about any rolethis nation may play in the Biaf­ran situation.

In Vietnam it is matter of tak­ing part in the fighting and be­coming involved in Vietnamesepolitics.

Church and State officials ask­ing the U. S. to help the starvingthousands in Biafra, however,tend to shy away from any mili­tary and political solutions. Helpfor Biafrans, they declare, mustbe on the sole grounds of hu­manitariaism.

Sen Charles E. Goodell' of NewYork, testifying before the sub­committee, said:

Humanitarian Goals"The Administration should

make it clear that it' is concernedwith humanitarian objectives,not with achieving any particularpolitical solution of the Nigerianconflict. Whether Nigeria andBiafra are ultimately united inone nation or divided into twocannot be a matter for us to de­bate; it is a decision to be madeby the people involved."

Church officials seeking' helpfor the hungry Biafrans do noteven mention Vietnam. Their ap­peal sticks strictly to the needto feed the hungry.

But some of them, like Jan vanHoogstraten, director of the Af­rica Department of. ChurchWorld Service, Division of Over­seas Ministries, National Coun­cil of Churches of Christ in theUnited States of Amerka, do nothesitate to suggest action thatwould have some degree of polit­ical ·implications.

"We hope that steps towardsan arms embargo, followed bynegotiations for a ceasefire a'ndeventual peace' talks, al'e the ac­tive concern of our government,

. which in consultation with othergovernments, can still play amajor role in facilitating suchnegotiations leading to a justpeace," Hoogstraten told thesubcommittee.

Even Goodell was critical ofBritain,' Russia, and France forsupplying arms to the Nigerianconflict. But he praised the U. S.for not becoming militarily in­volved.

is a plan whereby the diocesewill enter into a cooperativeagreement with the federal gov­ernment in an effort to help al­leviate the ,housing problem.

Spirit of Council"I am confident," Bishop Tracy

said, "that Catholics are awareof the importance of addressingourselves, in the spirit of VaticanII, to the social problems of ourday, those internal to the Churchas well as those with which ourfellow men in general are strug­gling.

A Catholic today must be aperson who, because of his ac­cess to the full deposit of faithand the channels of divine gracewhich are to be found in' theCatholic Church, should be thevery first ,to sense with sympathythe agony and the needs of mod­ern man, his problems of thespirit, and the crushing isues ofpoverty, war, discrimination'and insecurity."

The bishop thanked those per­sons who have spent more thantwo years in study and planningbefore arriving at a final con­sensus on the directive on socialresponsibility. He also expressedhis gratitude to those members ofother faiths' who contributedtheir services and advice duringthe interim period of the board.

"I hope," the bishop said,"that we shall continue to havethe benefit of their services aswe meet the social responsibili­ties of our community in aChristlike spirit."

Score GovernorOn Food Problem~n Baltimore

BALTIMORE (NC) - TheMaryland Food Committee,Inc., is seeking $1.5 millionfrom private sources to buybag lunches for 15,00 undernour­ished Baltimore school childrenin the 1969-70 school year.

The Food Committee will notmake an official reply to Gov.Marvin Mandel's denial ofcharges that his promise to pro­vide free lunches for Marylandschool children was a "politicalmaneuver."

After several futile attempts tocontact the governor to find outhis intentions to eliminate thelunch problem, the Food Com­mittee, composed of Baltimorereligious and lay leaders, held apress conference at the CatholicCenter criticizing Gov.' Mandelfor his failure to "respond to theneeds of Maryland's hungry chil­dren."

In the governor's denial of theFood Committee's charge, hesaid his administration had a"strong and sincere" interest infeeding hungry children but "anequally strong and sincere" de­termination to operate within thelaw and the state budget.

Gov. Mandel noted that a $2mill.ion state budget proposedfor the 1969-70 fiscal year in­tended to provide lunches forneedy children had been elil";'i­nated before he became governor.Gov. Mandel said he hoped tohave a workable lunch programin effect by September, 1969,but did not indicate that thenecessary funds are available.

15,000 NeedyAt the press conference, Law­

rence Cardinal Shehan of Balti­more, a fllember of the .FoodCommittee, said: "If the programis to be in effect by September,private individuals and organi­zations will have to meet theneed. But, because private or­ganizations cannot handle theentire financial load for anylength of time, the programshould be implemented with fullexpectation that the state willassume its part."

Mrs. J. Royal Tippett, chair­man of the Food Committee, saida plan has been formulated toprovide bag lunches but the nec­essary funds are not available.According to Mrs. Tippett, lunchfor one child will cost $100 year­ly and the committee hopes tofeed 15,000 needy children peryear.

"It might be however, thatsome people carried away withthe idea of black and whiteseparation may need a blackpriest. There are various needs."

But Mrs. Leatherman addedthat black priests might accom­plish more in a white commun­ity. "White people need to beoriented. They have the stereo­type ideas about Negroes. WeNegroes have stereotype ideasabout whites, too-let's face it."

Sins. of FewI must respectfully disagree

with the Archbishop. To be sure,some journalists stooped to sen­sationalism in covering theCouncil, but to indict the greaterpart of the world press becauseof the sins of a few irresponsiblejournalists strikes me as beingunfair and very unfortunate.

No wonder competent journal­ists of Mr. O'Connor's caliber areso discouraged and, in their dis­couragement, occasionally tendto become rather shrill in theircriticism, of ecclesiastical author­ities and' in their defense of thefreedom:"of the press. ' ,

The shrillness of their' criti­cism I~a~ies me rather cold, putI can understand their discour­agement. Moreover I concurwholeheartedly with their opin­ion that the Church willirrepar­ably damage its own credibilityunless and until it recognizes, infact as well as in theory; the,need for the fullest possiblemeasure of freedom for the Cath­olic press and the need for great­er sensitivity and greater hon­esty on the part of ecclesiasticalauthorities in dealing with thesecular press as well.

Protestors PicketDenver Cathedral

DENVER (NC) - About 100persons picketed ImmaculateConception cathedral here afterthe 8, 9, and 10 A.M. Masses,protesting Archbishop James V.Casey's refusal to accept a pro­posed plan to help disadvantagedMexican-American students.

Last month, a student groupdemanded the archdiocese con­tribute $100,000 to set up ascholarship fund for needy stu­dents, and Archbishop Casey metwith the group to discuss thematter. Those requesting the pro­gram are the United MexicanAmerican students (UMAS), astudent organization at the Uni­versity of Colorado DenverCenter.

As a result of the 90-minutemeeting with UMAS representa­tives, the archbishop requestedaids to prepare a "practical pro­gram" of scholarships for disad­vantaged students. He, in effect,rejected their requests in favorof investigating alternative pro­posals.

A statement issued by thechancery office criticized therequest for its "narrowness . . .limited as it was to one educa­tional institution" and alsoscored "the method of self-ad­ministration" of the proposedfunding.

Father Hart has not been de­clared "delinquent," a move tan­tamount to early induction. Hesaid he had not discussed hisnew status with ArchbishopJames V. Casey of Denver.

Suggests WaysTo Aid Biafrans

WASHINGTON (NC)-A Cath­olic Relief Services official ask­ed the United States "to movepromptly and publicly in twoways" in the effort to help star­ving Biafrans.

Testifying before the SenateJudiciary Subcommittee on Refu­gees, Edward M. Kinney, assist­ant to the executive director ofCat~olic Relief Services, urgedthe: government:

"To declare that it will act asa third party guarantor to in­sure to Biafra that daylightflights to Uli per se will not re­sult in the loss of the airstrip tomflitary action. The technicalmeans to insure implementationof a daylight flight agreementwithout prejudice to either sideshould not be difficult to evolve.If we Americans can put men onthe moon, we can produce andback up a form of guarantee inwhich other governments couldjoin and which would be accept­able to both Lagos and Owerri."

"While agreeing with the Fed­eral Nigerian government's legalright to inspect cargoes movingover its territory and/or airspace, our government shouldmake clear that it is awarethat this presents a Biafran ob­jection which will not be easilyovercome and that, as a prac­tical measure, since the thou­sands upon thousanris of tons ofrelief supplies accumulated byboth the Red Cross and JointChurch Aid are located in Co­tonou, Santa Isabel, and SaoTome, it would be m9st practica­ble for the Federal Nigerian gov­ernment to agree to inspectionat these points. Each inspectionteam might well include a repre­sentative of the Nigerian govern­ment."

The important thing, Kinney .declared, "is to stop the verbiageand to get things moving."

Consider TaxingChurch Property

LANSING (NC)-A resolutioncalling for a study to considerthe possibility of taxing churchproperty has been introduced inthe Michigan Senate.

The resolution, sponsored bythe State Sen. Gilbert E. Burs­ley, asks Gov. William G. Milli­ken of Michigan to have hiscommission on educational re­form "study all sources of pos­sible revenue, including tax ex­empt institutions, to finance ed­ucation."

Bursley said the Senate adopt­ed a resolution asking the edu­cational reform commission toconsider state aid for non publicschools.

The resolution stated that onepresently untapped reservoir oftax revenue li"es within tax ex­empt institutions, many of whichwould directly benefit if' stateaid were voted for nonpublicschools."

The Bursley resolution was re­ferred to the committee on sen­ate business.

DENVER (NC) - Father CraigHart, 30, assistant pastor at An­nunciation parish, has been is­sued a new draft card classify­ing him I-A. In January, he senthis original card with clericalexemption status to PresidentNixon "as an expression of re­ligious and personal faith."

After receiving his new c1assi­ficatiqn in June, indicating he iseligible for military service, hereturned his new draft card tothe Selective Service Board inColorado Springs, telling theboard that "the classification isin error" and "you may wishto correct it."

Father Hart, closely indentifiedwith civil rights and anti-povertycauses - particularly those ofHispano-Americans who consti­tute the majority of Annuncia­tion parishioners - participatedin two demonstrations here afew weeks before he was re­classified June 10.

He and others staged a mockfuneral May 14 in the ColoradoCapitol rotunda, just outside thegovernor's office, for severalitems of anti-poverty legislationthat had been killed in the statelegislature.

Part of Liturgy

The following day he wasamong 14 persons who invadedthe state Senate chamber tostage a non-violent, verbal pro­test. The demonstrators were ar­rested and carried out of thechamber by police.

Sisters InitiateRenewal Plans

GLEN RIDDLE (NC) - TheSisters of the Third Order ofSaint Francis' are holding a spe"cial Chapter of Affairs at theirPennsylvania motherhouse. Mem­bers of this group staff St.Mary's Home in New Bedford.

Cardinal Krol told delegates tothe Chapter that communitychanges must evolve in ~he wake

. of a continued renewal produc­tive of individual and communalholiness.

The Chapter has been calledin accordance with the recom­men'dations of the Second Vati­can Council. The areas of Reli­giou,s Life, Apostolate, Govern­ment and Formation are beingdiscussed in the light of the re­mands of today's society. Therenewal efforts will include astudy of "return to the sourcesof the whole of Ch'ristian lifeand to the primitive inspirationof the institutes, and the adapta­tion of the institutes to, 'thechanged conditions of our time."

Community controls the leversof economic power will - trueequality, justice and freedom beachieved.

The trouble with this vener­able idea is that it has been triedout 'in the Soviet Union. The the­

·ory has to encompass the factof 40 years or so of Stalin's rule-about which many studentsknow nothing since they areare taught very little history.

All economic power· to theCommunity can mean all eco~

nomic power to the Commissarsand bureaucrats. Cpmbined. withtotal political power,' it corruptsthe men who wield' .it, turningsome of them into .ferocious dic­tators like Stalin, others intofrightened bureacrats who in­vade Czechoslovakia sooner thanrisk the em'ergence of new ideas.

Incidentally, if Yugoslaviawere to evolve toward decen­tralized ownership and controlby the workers themselves andachieve intellectual freedom, itssystem would excite the wholeworld's attention. But Moscowdoes not.

On the contrary, its record isone reason for the anarchisttinge to. student thought. Be­tween General Motors and theSoviet All-Union Central Minis­try' for Automobile' Production(or wh,atever it is called), theyoung see little to choose.

Both are vast impersonal bu­reaucracies which swallow theirworkers into the faceless con-

. formity of collective life. Russiaand America alike must be"broken up" and small, self-gov­erning, communal groups, possi­bly a la Castro~ take their place.

Not ConvincingBut this. formulation of the

new society is no more convinc­ing than monolithic Soviet bu­reaucracy. It is not that the con­cept of the small group held to­gether by goodwill and freedomalone is not enormously appeal­ing. The whole monastic ideal isbased on something like it."Love God and do what youwill" was the cry not of a liber­tarian but of that rather rigorousmoralist, St. Augustine.

The problem lies in the attach­ment 'of at least 70 per cent ofAtlantic society to the goods,pleasures and possibillities of theexisting social order. Tell themthat to remake society, theymust give up all property-thehouse, the mortgage, the garden,the small car-,-and work not fora rising income but for basicneeds alone, then they will de­cide to remake nothing, stick towhat they have and shoot any­one who suggests an alternative.

The small people of Germanyafter 'the vast disaster of 1929were ready for Hitler' becausehe promised to protect themagainst Communists. The votersof Los Angeles recently votedfor Mayor Yorty because' heclaimed that a black mayorwould be 'soft on student andblack power· groups. Frightenand revolt too many people andyou get. not reform but counter­violence. Frighten them enoughand you get fascism.

The tragedy of student protest~ould be that Atlantic society,~n deep need of renewal, will digIn to defend its own unaccept­able status quo:"'

Short Circuit

These are not, one shouldhasten. to add, the majorityviews of students. But the ideasare sufficiently widespread andenjoy enough intellectual pres­tige to rather inhibit other stu­dents in explaining Jheir own un­easiness in more moderate andcommunicable terms.

'They' .obscurely feel thatneither Marxism nor Anarchismis the answer to the world'smalaise but they have so farfound no very coherent idea ofwhat they feel they could sup­port. The indignation is there,like electric power. But there isa short circuit in the intellectualcapacity fo~ thinking up alterna­tive solutions.

Marxism has the appeal of be­ing a fully worked out system.Original sin is to own propertyand, through it, to employ or"exploit" others. Only when the

Only One LaymanIn Pope's Party

ROME (NC) - The emergingCatholic laity of Africa will havea special place at the side ofPope Paul VI when he flies toKampala, Uganda, July 31.

The only layman and the onlyAfrican who is to be part of theofficial papal party is JosephAmichia. An African politicianand a long-time active leader inthe lay apostolate, Amichia is adeputy o'f the Ivory Coast parlia­ment and president of the Cath­olic Family Movement of theIvory Coast.

By Barbara WardAmong the student dissenters today there are two

groups-small but influential-who doubt whether any­thing can be done to reform contempdrary society. To theMarxists, the "overthrow" of the capitalist system is aprecondition of a better so­ciety since the pursuit of aprofit and the defense ofprofits transforqls the socialorder into a greedy alliance be­tween capitalists who make the

. money and thesoldiers who de­fend them asthey do so. In i:

t h e"military­industrial com-plex," leadersfrom bothgroups cooper­ate to keep arising share of·"the national in­come flowing intheir direction.

The Marxist solutIOn to thisperverted society is to take pow­er and property away from thetyc!>ons, give the means of pro­duction to the community andhasten onwards to the classlesssociety which. must, by defini­tion, emerge..

. To the left of the Marxists andoften despising them for theirreliance upon the large, inhumanapparatus of the State, stand theAnarchists. They do not haveformulated alternatives. Theychiefly notice the corruption ofpresent arrangements and arguethat if all this nonsense of sub,urbs, Ivy league,' grades, peckingorders and general materialismwere abandoned, a new societywould grow as a result of the re­moval of constraints. Arid if theold order is obdurate, it must besmashed since new ideas, likepower, "grow from the barrel ofa gun."

Stays IExplu~ion

Of MissionersNEW DELHI (NC)-The Indian

government has granted a six­week extension to the residentialpermit of 15 foreign missionariesawaiting expulsion from Assamstate.

Following a joint representa­tion by Valerian Cardinal Graciasof Bombay, Archbishop AngeloFernandes of Delhi and BishopHubert D'Rosario of Dibrugarh,the Indian home ministry permit­ted the priests and Sisters tostay in the state till the end ofJuly.

They were ordered originallyto quit by the middle of June-·in pursuance of a decision bythe Assam state government toclear the state's "sensitive bord­er areas" of all foreign mission­aries.

The home ministry also tookup for consideration an appli­cation for Indian citizenshippresented by nine of the' mis­sionaries.

Cardinal Gracias and the otherprelates had pleaded with V.C.Shukla, minister of state forhome affairs, for a favorable re­spo'nse to the applications.

It is understood that the ex­tension of stay was permittedwith a view to facilitate proces­sing and approval of the applica­tions.

The archbishop said it hasbeen "my privilege to live andserve in Texas for 35 years," andadded, «I, therefore choose tospend the sunset of my life inthat section which is known asthe great state of Texas."

Special MessagesEarlier during the evening,

Msgr. J. L. Manning, ch~ncellor,

who served as master of cere­monies, read the special mes­sages to Archbishop Lucey fromArchbishop-elect Furey and Mr.Johnson.

"Our Holy Father, Pope PaulVI, has. done me a -great honorin appointing me to succeed youas Archbishop of San Antonio,"wrote the Archbishop-designat~.

"While I am to succeed you inthis exalted office, I have no illu­sions that I will really take yourplace. Nobody could do that. Youwill always be enshrined deep inthe hearts of all Texas."

And the former President saidof Archbishop Lucey:

"No servant of God has workedwith greater devotion for thepeace and progress of God's peo­ple. He is a man of love and wis­dom. All of us who have knownhim will proudly carry the badgeof that friendship throughout ourlives."

Hopes for UnityWith Coptic Sect

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Becauseof their "close kinship," we hopethe day may come when the·Catholic and dissident Copticchurches in Ethiopia will be "infull communion" with each other,Pope Paul VI declared.

The Pope made the commentin accepting the credentials ofKidane Miriam Haile, Ethiopia'snew ambassador to the Holy See.

"Ethiopia is at home in theVatican," the Pope said. "It haslived side by side with the lifeof the Church."

He said the Holy See is "par­ticularly disposed" to have goodrelations with Ethiopia "becauseof the close kinship of Catholicsof the Ethiopian rite with theEthiopian Coptic church, whichwe hope may one day be in fullcommunion with us."

"It is greatly to be regrettedthat bishops are not permitted toretire three or four times afterthey pass 75 years of age in or­der to receive a flood of fine let­ters telling them how good theyare," Archbishop Lucey said.

Texas 'Section of Heaven'"But on the other hand," he

continued, "if a bishop could re­tire every five years in the sunsetof his life, he might be so thor­oughly revived and restored thathe would stop retiring, and ofcourse, .that would be bad forthose who might have d~signs onthe office. Consequently, one res­ignation, no matter how enjoy­able, is all that we get."

Archbishop Lucey said he"looked forward with anticipa­tion to Aug. 6 when I shall trans­fer responsibility for the adminis­tration of this diocese to MostRev. Francis Furey, my distin­guished successor."

Ponder ChangingLaw on HolydOlYsOf Obligation

WASHINGTON (NC)The National Conference ofCatholic Bishops is seekingto determine what changes,if any, should be made in currentC h u r c h legislation requiringCatholics in the United Statesto attend Mass on five holydaysof obligation.

In the process, it is samplingthe attitudes of bishops, priests,Religious and laity on the issue.Since the obligation to partici­pate in Mass on these holydaystouches the laity in a particularway, a special effort is beingmade .to determine their feelingsin the matter.

It is being suggested thatwhile the samplings are beingmade some catechesis on thesubject of holydays be given,possibly through one or twohomilies by parish priests. Thiscatechesis, it is felt, could serveas a preparation for the sam­plings and as a general instruc­tion for the people regarding'holydays of obligation.

A survey of the NCCB in 1969indicated that a majority of U. S.bishops favored some change inthe observance of obligatoryholydays, but provided no clearpattern. For this reason an adhoc committee of the NCCB wasappointed last November, underthe chairmanship of BishopAloysius J. Wyeislo of GreenBay, Wis., to explore the ques­tion.

Two ChoicesThere are two fundamental

choices: either retain the holy­days of obligation as they are, ormodify existing legislation. Ifone opts for a change in the law,a decision must be made withregard to each holyday.

This choice will mean eitherto make no change regardingthat particular hoiday, or toeliminate the obligation requiringparticipation in Mass on thatparticular day, or to transfer thecelebration of the feast to a nearand appropriate Sunday.

Christmas will remain as aholyday of Obligation, in anyevent.

The question of change in­volves five other holydays ofobligation - Jan. I, which nowbecomes the Solemnity of Marythe Mother of God; AscensionThursday; the Feast of the As­sumption, Aug. 15; All SaintsDay, Nov. I, and the Feast ofthe Immaculate Conception, Dec.8.

The NCCB committee is leav­ing it to the individual Ordinaryto determnie how he will makesamplings in his See, through the'Iiturg1cal commission or somesimilar group, through parishes,or through some lay organization.

A questionnaire is provided bythe committee, but the Ordinarymay use his own. The results ofthe samplings are to be tabulatedby local personnel and only ageneral report submitted to thecommittee.

Universit.y EndsYear in Violence

PAMPLONA (NC)-The Cath­olic University of Navarre endedits academic year amid studentviolence stemming from' "sug­gestions" by university authori-'ties to some students that theynot register for the new schoolterm.

This was interpreted by stu­dents as tantamount to expul·sion, and they reacted with sit­ins, other demonstrations, verbalattacks of university officialsand Molotov cocktails-resultingin arrests of many of the cremon­strators.

The university is operated byOpus Dei, a secular institute

. composed of priests and laymen,which has been running into op­position from the Falange,Spain's only legal political party.Observers believe that Falangeleaders fear the growth of OpusDei both in numbers and pres­tige in this country.

Many Opus Dei members holdkey positions in the governmentof Gen. Francisco Franco.

Opus Dei authorities had ex­pressed the hope that by keepingout students considered undesir­able, the university could avoidstudent problems in the nextschool year.

German PrelatesUrge SupportFor Papacy

MUNICH (NC)-Two Ger­man cardinals voiced strongsupport for the primacy ofthe pope in sermons mark­ing the sixth anniversary of thecoronation of Pope Paul VI.

Julius Cardinal Doepfner ofMunich and Lorenz CardinalJaeger of Paderborn also calledfor renewed loyalty to the teach­ing office of the Church.

Cardinal Doepfner urged hislisteners to "oppose those trendswhich seek to weaken the func­tion and mission of the papacy,and which consider religiousobedience to the supreme pastoroutdated."

NecessaryPrecisely in these times, in

which humanity is growing closertogether, a unifying center in theChurch is necessary rather thanoutmoded, he said.

The cardinal did add, however,that the forms of leadership arechangeable in many aspects, andthat they must be subordinatedto an effective ministry in theChurch.

"No doubt, not all of the heir­looms of a more feudal form ofruling and strong centralizedgovernment have been elimi­nated," he declared. "We are stillsearching for the proper way toexercise collegial co-responsibi­ity."

CarefulBut churches in individual

countries or dioceses, he added,must be careful not to beginanything which might endangerthe entire Church. .

Cardinal Jaeger recalled thatPope Paul had proclaimed thisthe "year of faith." There werefew echoes heard of the Pope'scall for a year of faith and of hisCredo of the People of God,however, Cardinal Jaeger said.They both are now "gone withthe wind." he complained.

Not CatholicHe warned that those who

deny and attack the fundamentaldeclarations of the Church canno longer be considered Catholic.Because they take' their standoutside the faith and communityof the Church, they can no longerh a v e communion with theChurch, he added.

Priest CriticizesUnivers_~ty Bin

'TRICHUR (NC)-An educatorhlis criticized a new UniversityBill of Kerala state's comunist­dominated government as a "rep­lica" of an earlier act that hasbeen challenged by the bishopsas unconstitutional.

Father Thomas Moothedan,principal of St. Thomas' Collegehere in India, said the new bill,establishing the state's seconduniversity at' Calicut, will bring"purgatory if not hell" upon pri­vate agencies that have sunk upto $1 million in college educationin Kerala state.

Father Moothedan cited clausesthat empower the governmentto take over private colleges un­der certain circumstances, im­pose a government-appointed of­ficer on their managing boards,and make seniority a prime fac­tor in the appointment of prin­cipals.

The priest added tha tno self­respecting private agency cancontinue to work under theseprovisions.

The earlier university act,passed this year in spite ofstrong opposition by all churchesin Kerala state, has been chal­lenged as unconstitutional in aseries of Catholic-sponsored law­suits pending before the statehigh court.

tion." And in an article in thecurrent issue of St. AnthonyMessenger, Father Delano notes:"Those who have' becomewearied from seeking God by'involvement,' in 'confrontation'and agitation, would do well toseek him in quiet contemplation-a disposition of mind whichthe consideration of the star­filled heavens easily induces. Forin the fray of daily life and so­cial involvement God is frequent­ly lost sight of, and, as often asnot, people who sincerely believethat they are vigorously workingin the name of God find them­selves being just as strongly op­posed by others, likewise per­suaded that they are servingGod's best interest. To bothsides God would say, if only theycould hear: 'Be still and knowthat I am God.' (Ps. 46:10),"

The St. Anthony Messengerarticle, entitled "Apollo 11 DoesNot Cheat the Poor," is onlypart of Father Delano's output.'He is a frequent contributor ofarticle~ and reports to suchjournals as The Strolling Astron­omer, the Journal of the BritishAstronomical Association andPlanetarium Magazine.

Asked about the oft-quoted re­mark by a Russian cosmonaut tothe effect that he hadn't seenGod while orbiting in space,Father Delano said this betrayeda very naive concept of God. "Ithink John Glenn gave the per­fect answer to that commentwhen he said, 'The God I wor­ship is not so small that I wouldexpect to meet him in space,'''

And in his St. Anthony Mes­senger article he said, "The as­tronauts were in a position toappreciate as no other men be­fore them, the words of theprophet Baruch: 'How great, Is­rael, is the house of God, howwide his domain, immeasurably

He was in on the plots to killHitler, including the one in 1944which almost succeeded. Whenthat failed, there was a greatroundup of all anti-Nazi people,and he was included. He was ar­rested, his children (one agedtwo, the other aged nine months)were seized, his wife imprisoned,and he was executed.

Mr. Sykes has written at al­most unconscionable length (456pages) of Von Trott, and thereare times when the reader's in­terest wanders and he desperate­ly wishes that the book weremore concise and less turgid.But, if one stays resolutely withthis work, one gets a painfulpicture of the dilemma of apatriot in Nazi Germany.

Almost Sinful

Asked how the man's conceptof God might alter in the spaceage, Father Delano said hethought it would be "almost sin­ful for us not to find out moreabout the universe God hasmade. If He was interestedenough to create it, we shouldbe interested enough to investi­gate it."

his scientific background gavehim confidence in the lunar land­ing craft and the command mod­ule, he admits" to being "quitenervous" at the moments oflanding and takeoff. "I stayed upuntil the television went off," hesaid.

Father Delano's own interestin astronomy began at age 7,when he saw a meteor raceacross the sky. "I got a handtelescope," he said, "and keptgetting larger ones." He has puttogether most of his own tele­scopes, including his present121;2 inch' reflector model, whichis set up behind the Priests' Hos­tel on Highland Avenue, FallRiver.

Reliable AccountTrepper is still living, as Leiba

Domb, in Warsaw, an inconspic­uous private citizen. The authormet him there in 1965, and foundhim to be unpretentious and un­communicative, still a Commu­nist but now concerned only withthe publication of Jewish classi­cal literature.

Mr. Perrault's book is verylong (510 pages) and very intri­cate. How reliable is it? This isa question which the reader isconstantly putting to himself.

The bibliography is modest,and there are unspecific refer­ences to interviews and docu­ments ("I am not free to say whatthey were or where they camefrom. I must ask the reader tobear with me").

The visible underpinnings ofthe narrative are, therefore, notespecially reassuring to the skep­tic. At best, he will feel, what wehave here is an approximation ofthe truth. Some such things asrelated in the book undoubtedlyhappened, but is this an exactand thoroughly reliable accountof them?

German PatriotIt would seem that Leopold

Trepper dealt Hitler manyshrewd blows. The same cannotbe said of Adam von Trott. VonTrott was five years youngerthan Trepper, and of a complete­ly different background. He wasthe fourth of eight children bornof a notable Prussian family inwhich a libertarian tradition hadbeen carefully cultivated.

In maturity, he was tall, good­looking, charming. He preparedfor a career in the law, and wasa student of Hegel, about whosephilosophy of the state he wrotea book.

Von Trott was strongly anti­Nazi. He was opposed to all theaberrations, excesses, and enor­mities of the Hitler regime. Buthe was also a staunch Germanpatriot, even a nationalist.

In the years between 1933 andthe outbreak of World War II, hetravelled a great deal, often toEngland, once to the UnitedStates (for a stay of severalmonths), and to the Far East.

In the first years of the war,he continued his travels, includ­ing another visit to this country.By now he was working withGerman elements resisting Hitlerand bent on his elimination. Butalways he was suspect abroad.

p.,inful PictureHe was even thought of as a

Nazi agent, and was, by some,styled the chief of a Nazi spyring operating in the UnitedStates.

habitual Soviet distrust of itsown agents. Another is the factthat Trepper had escaped with­out asking and obtaining hisCommunist bosses permission todo so.

A third is the fact that Trep­per was indignant over Stalin'srefusal to believe the' Red Or­chestra's repeated warnings ofan impending Nazi attack onRussia in 1941; a man withknowledge of Stalin's colossalblunder in this regard could notbe left at liberty.

A fourth is the fact of Trep­per's being a Jew; anti-Semitismin which Stalin indulged afterthe war fell hard upon this bril­liant sevitor of the Soviet sys­tem.

By IlU. ~ev. Msgr. John S. KennedyTwo men dedicated to thwarting Adolf Hitler dominate

two new books, The Red Orchestra by Gilles Perrault(Simon and Shuster, 630 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. 10020,$7.95) and Tormented Loyalty by Christopher Sykes (Harperand Row, 49 E. 33rd St., NewYork, N.Y. 10016,8.95.) Thecentral figure in the first isLeopold Trepper, a PolishJew; in the second, it is Adamvon Trott, a German aristocrat,who on the ma-ternal side, wasa descendant ofJohn Hay, firstChief Justice ofthe UnitedStates SupremeCourt. Trepper,born in 1904,headed a Sovietspy ring knownas the Red Or­chestra. He wasa hardcore Communist who,from his youth, was engaged inconspiracy and espionage.

When, in 1941, Hitler attackedthe Soviet Union, Trepper wasready to assist the latter througha network he had cunningly builtup in Western Europe. It hadcenters in Paris, Brussels, andBerlin itself.

The Berlin organization reachedinto the Nazi high command,into various government offices,and into distinguished social cir­cles. By means of radio, it sup­plied Moscow with vast amountsof valuable information. For ex­ample, it notified the Soviets ofNazi battle plans, troop dispo­sitions, weaponry, morale.

The turning point of the waron the eastern front is commonlyrecognized as having been thesuccesful defense of Stalingrad,and the authur contends that itwas copious and accurate datafurnished by the Red Orchestrawhich made this possible.

In Constant DangerIn Paris and in Brussels, the

spy ring was largely financed bycommercial organizations set upby Trepper. These were given aseemingly respectable front ofloyal nations, but were complete­ly controlled by him. They se­cured supplies for the Nazis,made huge profits, and therebyprovided capital for anti-Nazi ac­tivities. In effect, the Nazis weresubsidizing their own most ef­fective opponents.

The spy network was, ofcourse.. in constant danger. Hit­ler's counter-espionge doggedlysought to catch the agents anddestroy the ring. The Nazisscored successes in this respectin Brussels in 1941, and in Berlinand Paris in 1942. Trepper him­self was caught in Paris inNovember of the latter year.

He was in the hands of theNazis for about ten months. Al­though many of his agents wereviciously tortured and some sum­marily executed, he was verygently used. Never was a harshhand laid on him. He managedto escape in September, 1943,and went into hiding.

Sentenced to PrisonWhen in 1944, the Nazis were

driven from Paris, Trepper madecontact with the Soviet missionwhich quickly came to the liber­ated city. He flew to Moscow in1945. There, instead of beinghailed as a hero and handsomelyrewarded for his invaluable con­tribution to the Soviet victory,he was put under arrest andgiven a fifteen-year prison sen­tence, of which he served tenyears.

Why his imprisonment? Onereason cited by the author is the
