Prelate PreventsViol·ence ThreatAt Rutgers

NEWARK (NC) - Possi­ble violence on the Newarkcampus of Rutgers Univer­sity was prevented when aNewman Apostolate chaplainput himself between barricadedConklin Hall and a group ofwhite students charging with atelephone pole as a ·batteringram.

"You're out of your heads,"yelled Msgr. PatriCk D. McGrathas he hopped in front of thecharging students. "Put thatthing down," he demanded.

Msgr. McGrath then talkedwith the students and convincedthem to put their complaints inwriting to university officials.

"There are many imperfec­tions in this country, many in­Justices to be repaired. Peoplehave to prepare themselves torepair them rather than to teardown fabric of the society."

San Francisco State College,which Dr. Hayakawa heads, isone of a number of campusesexperiencing student revolt. Hesaid the cause of these' distur­bances cannot be pinpointed, but·he "guessed" that the influenceof television is one of the factors.

"The messages of televisionare very peculiar," Dr. Haya­kawa opined. "Commericialstell you that there is an instant&"Olution to everything.

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-People have to preparethemselves to correct the injUstices of society rather "thanto tear down the fabric of the society," according to Dr.S.I. Hayakawa, acting president of the San Francisco StateCollege. He has blamed tele­vision for the mounting dis­illusionment with the demo­cratic process young peopleare experiencing.

Dr. Hayakawa believes thegroup of people stirring thestatus quo "is a very small mi­nority. They perform a usefulfunction in many areas. Some­how they've identified them­selves so completely as the un­derdog that they are peculiarlyhostile to the establishment."

He explained that it is notgood for the leaders of thesedisturbances "to have such anemotional alienation from theestablishment. It is both a dan-

Durin'g the past 10 years,Bishop Gerrard has assistedBishop Connolly throughout theDiocese, carrying out the multi­ple duties that devolve upon theOrdinary of the Diocese.

The Bishop ,appointed Gray­son W. Brown, a black commu­nity worker, to a special post,which will involve giving talksto priests and ,Religious frompre(fominantly white areas. Hisjob is to ,provide them with anopportunity to learn somethingof ghetto life and 'to solicit theirown feelings about it.

Brown was named after dis­cussing ,the program need withBishop Mugavero.

"I knew the Bishop was look­ing for new ideas," he said,"and I was sure that the ideaof communicating the ghettoeX'perience to 'Religious whoknew little or nothing about itwas a valid one. The projecttakes on even more importancebecause many of the people Ihope to speak to are teachers."

Wide Experience

Brown will ,have an office atthe St. John ,the Baptist Com­munHy Center in Bedford-Stuy­vesant area where he will con­tinue his work as a youth coun­selor.

The decision to form the com­mittee was made ,by representa­tives of the student senate, thefaculty senate and the universitycouncil.

UnveilMonument1"c Brotherh~od

Despite 'rlLli'estFRESNO (NC)-A mon­

ument to brotherhood wasunveiled in Fresno CountyCourthouse Park here de­spite a controversy over its erec­tion on public land.

The monument, a sculpture byClement Renzi, depicts the lateEpiscopal Dean James M. Mal­loch of St. James' cathedral, thelate Msgr. James G. Dowling ofSt. Therese's church and RabbiDavid Greenberg of TempleBeth Israel, all of Fresno.

The three California clergy­men were members of a radioprogram panel heard in the SanJoaquin V'alley from 1937 to1954. The program was termi­nated when Dean Malloch be­came ill. Entitled "Forum of Bet­ter Understanding," the pro­gram was the means for theclergymen to expand the pro­gram's theme into a multiplicityof civic activities.

It was the placing of the mon­ument in the downtown Fresnopark that resulted in a protestby the Fresno Chapter of Prot­estants and Other AmericansUnited for the Separation ofChurch and State.

After the county supervisorsvoted to accept the monument,POAU filed suit in SuperiorCourt, challenging its beingplaced on public land.

Serve as inspirationA plaque at the base of the

monument portrays the profilesof the 'three clergymen. RabbiGreenberg, the only survivingmember of the radio team, calledthe unveiling "a great day in mylife." He said he appreciates the"recognition of the efforts ofthree men who, in their humbleway, tried to promote the spiritof better understanding in ourcommunity.

"The work of art," h~ con­tinued, "is a dedication to thegoals for which we must allstrive as much as it is a dedica­tion to three men whose faithmoved them to discuss eachweek for 17 years matters of so­cial concern.

"It is in the essence of thenature of the human being towant to achieve a sense of im­mortality and we achieve im­mortality through our deeds andby being remembered. I praythis memorial will serve as aninspiration and remind us thatwe can have unity in spite ofous many diversities," he said.

The idea of the sculpture wasconceived by Fresnans HermanCenci and John J. Sullivan, whowith several other local citizenslargely underwrote the cost ofthe project which now becomesthe property of Fresno County.Its surrounding garden will becared for by the county's land­scape department.

will have to depend more thanever on the laity's active help.. Father Kamber suggested "anew theology on the layman. Itis necessary to review all thehistory of the Church, to studyhow the laity participated ornot, where mistakes were made,and then to examine this dog­matically, liturgically, etc,," hesaid.

A Scarboro priest said thelaity, generally, have been won­derful "·but they haven't beengiven half the chance. Every­thing depends on the pastor, andmost pastors aren"t expectingtoo much from the laity. The'vast majority (of -pastors) don'twant to involve the laity more;in these parishes, the laymanisn't supposed to make waves."

He did not ,blame the olderpriests for being the way theyare; they have given their livesfor the Church, and are notready for g,eat changes.

But he said he is concernedabout the' leakage in the Church. '"Our young people are goingaway by the carloads. Why? Oldfashioned preaching, holdingback on the liturgy 0:0 " ,~"

The ideal layman is "one wholives a life of love and faith."

'Supper of Lamb' Literate,Delightful, Cookbook

By Joseph and Ma1'ilyn Rode1'ick

It is still too early to estimate the damage done tothe garden by the huge snowfalls we have expe-rienced oflate, but there is no question that damage was done. Thesheer weight of so much snow has to have an effect onplants, especially those whichgrow close to the ground. In.my I)wn garden I am par­ticularly anxious about theazaleas, which are fragile to be­gin with, 'and which cann-otstand the' weight of the snowabove them. At this juncturethere is nothing that can bedone about the situation exceptto hope that the harm is minimal.

There is, however, damagethat I can see already. Ourgrapevine collapsed in twoplaces and the two-by-twos weused as braces will have to bereplaced as soon as the snow dis­appears. This is hardly a bigjob, because we will be pruningour vine as soon as the snowdisappears anyway, so the job ofreplacing cross braces will berather minor.

Misshapen GreensI am sure that some of the

evergreens .vill be affected.Everywhere one looks one seestall greens 'bent under theweight of the snow ,much likeFrost's spruces and bircheswhich fall to the ground in at­tempting to support the snowwhich falls on them.

I suspect that there will beany number of misshapen greensvisible in foundation plantingsin the area and I am sure manya gardener will be out with hispruning shears in ·the Spring.

Normally snow has somevalue in insulating plant rootsfrom severe cold but this kindof snow is definitely harmful tomost ,plants as well as gardenstructures. Aside from the dele­terious effects on the garden itcertainly has' done very littlefor mid;'Winter nerves! Our onlyhope is that a gradual thaw willoccur shortly and that the greengrass will begin to 'appear withthe coming of Spring.

In the KitchenRobert Farrar Capon has writ­

ten a book for lovers--lovers ofgood food, lovers of meaningfulthought, and lovers of the writ­ten word. Just published byDoubleday, Father Capon'sbook, The Supper of the Lamb,is the most unusual dissertationon food that I have ever comeacross.

A book that contains withinits first few pages the followingstatements "The world mayormay not need another cookbook,but it needs,all the lovers--ama­teurs--it can get. It is a gorgeousold place, full of clownishgraces and beautiful drolleries,and it has enough textures,tastes, and smells to keep us in­trigued for more time than we

• have. Unfortunately, however,our response to its loveliness isnot always delight; It is, farmore often than it should be,boredom. And that is not onlyodd, it is tragic; for boredom isnot neutral-it is the fertilizingprinciple .of unloveliness,". cannot be classified as a merecookbook.

In fact, if just a cookbook iswhat you're after, then don'twaste your money on FatherCapon's book. (The author is anEpiscopalian priest who teachesdogmatic theology and Greekat a seminary on Long Island.)If, however, you have a friendwho feels that the bare prepara­,tion of food is an art then by allmeans gift her with this master­piece. Never since Lamb's writ­ings on roast pig has there been

ican Christians have been askedto urge "the powerful U. S. gov­ernment to force the United Na­tions to make a great effort tosettle the Middle East situation."

The request came from lead­ers of three Coptic ChristianChurches in Egypt.

"We are afraid," they said inan open letter, "that war isabout to 'break out again be­tween Israel an,d the bordering

·Arab countries." 'The next warin the Middle East will have in­ternational repercussions, theywarned, and could easily "bringa confrontation- between thegreat powers and explode intoa world conflict."

The letter, which was made'public by the Rev. Dr. R. H.Edwin' Epsy, general secretaryof the National Council ofChurches, also requests thatU. S. Christians aid Arabs inevery way, especially their chil­dren.

Dr. Epsy received the open'letter from the heads of theCoptic Catholic, Coptic Ortho­dox, and Evangelical CopticChurches in Egypt.

"Another generation of Arabchildren," the letter continued,"is being reared in those unnat­ural conditions in Israeli­occupied lands, inadequatelyfed, improperly sheltered, cladin the cast-off clothes ofothers," deprived of their "God­given dignity and self-respect."

/

"I am not unmindful of thesensitivities of my fellow Prot­estants, hut I am simply sayingthat I believe our national inter­ests would be best served byhaving an offic~al ,open channelof communication with the Va-tican," he said. '

"I am glad President Nixon isconsidering this matter, andstrongly hope ,that this conclu­sion will be to send art' envoythere," Pell' stated.

Housing Proj~ctEDMONTON (NC)-The Ed­

monton archdiocese, attemptingto ease the local housing short­age, is making 130 acres of landavailab1e for low cost housing.

Archbishop Anthony Jordan,O.M.I., has applied to the Ed­monton Regional Planning Com­mission for rezoning of the landwhich would be sold at cost topeople in low income groups.

The land originally was pur­chased by the Canadian arch­diocese for a junior college site,but the college plan was rejectedby the provincial government.

Lots for up to 520 single fam­ily dwellings would be availableat $500 a lot, plus $1,500 for ser­vicing,' making a total price of$2,000 a lot.

Archbishop Jordan said pur­chase price of the land wouldreturn the archdiocese's originalinvestment and other costs butthat little or no .profit would bemade on the sale. Plans for de­velopment are still in a prelim­inary stage and no firm deci­sions have been made. He saidthe land would be sold directlyto low income buyers.

"We are anxious to make itimpossible for speculators to de­feat our fundamental purpose ofmaking available this land for~ow cost housing," the arch­bishop said in making plain theland will not be sold to a devel­oper.

The Committee for Commun­ity Progress here has criti­cized three prominent Pitts­burgh clergymen for their atti­tudes toward high school dis­ruptions in the Hazelwood area.

The CCP statement criticizedthe three, all of whom have beenactive in the civil rights move­ment, as "contributing nothingtoward· easing the tensions" inthe Hazelwood area. The sectionof the city has a mixed popula­tion racially, and the local highschool has been the scene of dis­ruption.

CCP accused Msgr. CharlesOwen Rice, Father Donald W.McIlvane and Canon Julius F.Carter for their attitude towardthe disturbances at Gladstonehigh school.' The PittsburghArea Council on Religion andRace, of which Canon Carterand Father McIlvane are activemembers, has called for an in­

.vesiigation into the arrests of alarger number of black studentsthan of whites.

Msgr. Rice, in a column in thePittsburgh Catholic, wrote that"we have trouble in Hazelwoodbecause that community has notbeen at ease with its black new­comers; all around our diocesewe have known of the dreadfultreatment given the excellentpriests there who have talked ofbrotherhood and accommoda­tion, or dared to open parishfacilities to poor blaek chil­dren."

lVIsgr. Rice criticized mostPittsburgh law enforcement of­ficials and said that white lead­ership seems incapable of pro­viding the sensitivity' andfinesse to deal with the troubledsituation at the racially mixedhigh school.

He noted: "The director ofpublic safety (David W. Craig),one of the few men to displaycompassion and insight is, 'forthat very display, almost a polit­ical outcast."

He also said: "May the Lord _help the unfortunate city whosepeace is in the hands of our dis­trict attorney, our superintend­ent of police, our governor andcertaIn Neanderthal judges."

The CCP statement said thatif the clergymen are sincere inseeking to resolve the situationat Gladstone, "their consciencescould not permit them to furtherdivide the people."

In reference to Msgr. Rice'scolumn, the CCP said:

"People of all races look tothe clergy for guidance and un­derstanding, but all they havereceived of late is accusationsand contempt for the leaders ofthe city, county and state."

,By Barabam Ward

In the middle of Lent, in the middle of this penitentialtime of sorrow a d sacrifice, Catholics are suddenly toldin the liturgy to rejoice. The priests wear rose-coloredvestments and the Mass prayers are full of exultation. Andthis sense of festi ity in themidst of sorro perhapsgives Christians clue tothe style of their participa- ,tion in the wider s cular com­munity. If it is true that man­kind is in ,thethroes of trying ~'

to invent a ~

funct.ion-~

ing planetarysociety, we canhardly be ve.ryhappy about theeffort. The twosuper - powers,America and "Russia, circleeach other war­ily. It is difficultto say whether they are movingin for a clinch or a . egotiation.

Europe re-echoes t the slang­ing match between ondon andParis. The Middle E st drifts todeepening violence.

In the Third World, rising pop- ,I ulation continues t press on'

traditionally inadeq late meth­ods of producing fo d. And theinstruments of worl -wide co­operation-the Unit d ' Nations,its family of agenci s, the sep­arate national f·orei n aid pro­gram5---'have a dimi ished lookthese days as their efficacy iswidely criticized and their fundsdecline. ,

What, one may ask is there tobe cheerful about in all this, asLaetare Sunday with its messageof rejoicing, came I' und again?

Yet behind the trains andtragedies of each immediatecrisis, the Christian citizen hasa number of affit ations tomake which, while t ey do notdirectly affect the particularproblems of buildi g a newworld order, cim pro oundly in­fluence the way in hich theseproblems are tackled

The joy which Ch istians aresupposed to convey is not aPollyanna optimism about aneffortless successful consumersociety. It ,is a diffic lt joy, anachievement of spi itual en­ergy often in the face of unbear­able or apparently i surmount­able evils.

Its roots are in t ose' threegreat sources of hum n fortitudewhich, however muc they maybe dismissed as "squ 'e," remainthe shield and buc leI' of theChristian spirit. Ea th, Hope,Charity - a trinity we forge~

through familiarity I' throughrepetition-are the a firmationsrequired of us in tim s of dark­ness and disorder, in times suchas these in which we live today.

,Faith: Life Is M aningThe faith we can 0 fer is that'

at every level of 0 ganization,man's life can 'have meaning.This planet is not th scene ofsome disordered dan e of deathbut an arena of c oice andstruggle where man, co-creatorof rational purpose with GodHimself, ·,builds socie ies whichconform more fully t his visionof justice and peace.

In times of deepeni g tension,the temptation is p ecisely tolose this faith, to say t at "things

While decryingsome of the incorrect publicitycentering around the Federa­tion, he stated that he felt theFederation was trying to accom­plish works of service to thepriests and the Church and thatif it failed through lack of sup­port then a worthwhile opportu­nity would have been lost.

Msgr. MacDonald spoke on awide range of topics-PersonnelBoards and their function, the

... a cheerful, brave young man dared to be different. Christ offeredhim a challenge and he took it. The young man dared to give up hisown little self in order to take on the big work of Christ, and he becameone of man's greatest heroes-one of God's greatest saints.

It's a true and wonderful story! Francis of Assisi loved life. He lovedmankind and he loved God. With the peace and the love of Christ ashis only tools he built a new world of Christian hope and touched thehearts of mil~ions.

And St. Francis never really diedl For seven hundred years those whohave dared to accept the challenge of Christ to follow Francis havekept the peace and the love of Christ alive, vibrant and meaningful.Wherever you go today you find a Franciscan Priest or Brother who hasgiven up himself with St. Francis in order to bri,ng the peace and loveof Christ to men-in order to keep on building a new world of Chris-tian hope. .

Christ is still calling cheerful, brave young men to meehhe challenge.There's no reason why He could not call you. If you hear the challengeof Christ and dare to be different, there's no reason why you shouldn'tdiscover St. Francis and try to follow him.

Urges Boy ScoutLeaders to AidLess Fortunate

PHILADELPHIA (NC)- Philadelphia Boy Scoutleaders have been urged to"leave their own shelteredsa.,ctuarles 'and move among theless fortunate areas of the city."

Speaking at the annual Scout­er's Recognition Dinner of theArchdiocesan Catholic Commit­tee on Scouting, Bishop WilliamG. Connare of Greensburg, na­tional episcopal moderator forscouting, called for "a willing­ness on the part of certain mento commit themselves to areasother ,than their own parishneighborhood."

"Unless generous men do this,"Bishop Connare noted, "not forpersonal glory or gain, butsimply in the spirit of service,scouting is not likely to succeedin these depressed areas."

Best ECUlimenlsm

"Pursuing this idea can pre­sent a very real challenge inour day," the Penna. See Ordi­nary declared. "Accepted in thisspirit of a challenge, this in­volvement will bring blessingboth to the man who gives andto the boy who receives en­couragement from this service."

Bishop Connare cautioned,however:

"The outsider must be smartenough to withdraw as soon aslooalleadership is able to handlethe situation entirely on itsown."

That is to say, by comparisonwith people who are caught inthe' inner city, middle andupper-class suburbanites belongto a privileged class and con'~e­quently can be expected to playa much bigger role than 'manyof them are now playing inhelping' to solve the urban­racial crisis.

Claims Jail InmatesIn Peru Untried

LIMA (NC)-A prison chap­lain has claimed that 75 per centof the 12,000 jailed persons inPeru have not been tried orconvicted.

E'ather Lucas Hernando, headof the Prisons Apostolate here,urged a court reform that willnarrow the jurisdiction of courtsand increase the number ofjudges.

The priest and a group ofLima women were instrumentalin securing jobs for about 500former prisoners last year.

HELP IN. TROUBLES: Divorced or separated wives need spiritual comfort in their loneliness,and to help supply it Father Charles E. McGroarty, assistant director of the Philadelphia arch­diocesan Family Bureau, offers Mass to open the meeting of the Stella Maris Club, a group ofdivorced or separated women at the Catholi c Information Center in downtown Philadelphia.

ST. LOUIS (NC) - The LittleSisters of the Poor may be bor­rowing money from the federalgovernment, but it doesn't meanthey've abandoned S1. Joseph.

The' Little Sisters, fabled fortheir dependence on theirheavenly provider, broke groundin north St. Louis this week fora new, nine:'story apartment res­idence for the elderly, replacingthe pre'sent century-old struc­ture.

Financing the project is a $2million 50-year loan from thefederal Housing and Urban De­velopment department, underprovisions of the Senior CitizensHousing Act of 1959.

Sister Augustine, superior,said it is the first time LittleSisters have borrowed moneyfor construction-but does notrepresent a loss of trust. ,

"We have always had out­standing trust in Divine Provi­dence and confidence in St. Jo­seph," Sister Augustine said."The Li ttle Sisters feel that the

"The churches," he writes,"can only embody or mediate atrue identity of their memberswhen the fellowship of membersrepresents the interdependenciesof human life. Inclusiveness isintrinsic and not accidental tothe nilture of the church."

Professor Winter himself doesnot argue that the church's dis­engagement from the centralcity was a cunning and deliber­ate strategy. Rather, it has re­sulted from its failure to con­sider the implications of the'forces of social change.

While many congregationshave had good intentions, the ef­fect of their exodus from thecentral city, he maintains, has,been an abdication of Christian

"responsibility where it is mostneeded.

Inner City MentaBityFather Andrew Greeley, a

competeint sociologist who spentthe first years of his priesthoodin suburbia and has written abook in defense of suburbanChristianity, strongly disagreeswith Dr. Winter.

Writing in the Chicago month­ly, "New City," in April, 1968,Greeley says that, looking backon his own book from the·per­spective of middle age, he isforced to say that "it was alltoo shallow-not because it de­fended the suburbs, but .becauseit didn't defend them stronglyenough."

He is extremely critical ofwhat he calls the "inner citymentality" which, he says, at­taches some special virtue tobeing poor or being black ahdtends to equate the priestly orreligious apostolate with an as­signment to the inner city.

Spiritual PovertyThose who hold to this view,

he maintaiQs, are wrong on anumber of counts:

1) The church belongs every­where that man is-to which headds, for good measure, that "in­vidious comparisons betweenone kind of apostolate a'1d an­other date back at least to thetime of Paul and Apollo;"

2) The solution to inner cityproblems cannot be found exclu­sively in the inner city;

3) There are other forms ofpoverty beside material poverty.'Greeley's analysis of the varioustypes of "spiritual poverty"which he discerns in suburbiaand which he sees as a tremen­dous challenge t.o the church liesoutside the scope of this discus,.sion, but might provide suitablematter for a series of columnssometime in "the future.

On TrialWhether or not Dr. Gibson

Winter's writings on suburbiaare as wide of the mark asFather Greeley makes them outto be in his article in "NewCity," the fact remains that theinhabitants of upper-class sub­urbs are definitely on trial atthe present time-much more soperhaps than almost any othersegment of our society,

The reason for this is verysimple: Noblesse oblige. Heavilymortgaged suburbanites, I amsure, will resent being charac­terized as belonging to the newnobility. Nevertheless it is wellto keep in mind that nobility,after all is a relative term.'

Suburbs' RoleCrisis

Church BetrayalHe feels that the disengage­

ment of the Protestant churchesfrom the .inner city is a tragedy,not to say a betrayal of the earlyChristian church, which was so­cially inclusive.

DiscussesIn Urban-Racial

By Msgr. Ge01'ge C. HigginsDi1'ect01',. Division of U1'ban Life, U.S.C.C.

This and the next few releases of The Yardstick willpull together Rome notes on suburbia's role in meeting thecurrent urban-racial crisis, The article on "suburbs" in theEncyclopedia of the Social Sciences-first published in theearly '30s and recently su­p~seded by a totally new en­cyclopedia called the Inter­national Encyclopedia of theSocial Sciences-makes note ofof the fact that "the suburb isconsistently por­trayed in fic­tion as petty,frivolous andlacking in vir­ility." Though Idon't read verymany contem­porary novels,I would judge,from a regularand fairly rep­resentative sam­pling of the re­views that the subul'lb is nolonger being portrayed in fictionquite so condescendingly.

It is my impression, in otherwords, that suburbia, which hasexpanded almost astronomicallysince the '30s and, more espe­cially, since the end of WorldWar II, is now being taken muchmore seriously by novelists, pos­sibly because so many of themare now living there themselves,presumably with a slightly guiltyconscience.

This is not to say, however,that present-day suburbia is im­mune to criticism on the part ofthe intelligentsia Whatever thecurrent crop of novelists may besaying about suburbia" manyother observers of the Americanscene, including a number ofclergymen - turned sociologistsare subjecting it to very severecriticism on a variety of scores.

Disturbed Over WithdrawalMuch of this criticism, be it

said, is rather flattering to sub­urbanites in a round-about sortof way.

Echoing a complaint whichwas noted almost 40 years ago inthe encyclopedia article refel'lredto above, it claims to be "dis­turbed over the withdrawal oflarge numbers of the more com­petent and successful membersof the urban community fromresponsibility and participationin the life of the central cityin which they make theirliving 0) Q 0)" Moreover it tendsto blame this withdrawal "forthe notoriously bad governmentof cities."

This particular complaint isoften coupled in the writings ofclerical commentators' on sub­urbia with an even more severecriticism of the churches-es~e­

cially the Protestant churches­for disengaging themselves fromthe central city and takingflight, so to speak, to the sub­urbs. The name of Dr. GibsonWinter, a Protestant clergyman,comes to mind immediately inthis context.

In his book, "The SuburbanCaptivity of the Churches," Dr.Winter laments the fact that theexodus of the Protestantchurches from the central city

. has left the metropolis withoutresponsible moral leadership ata time in history when it hasnever been needed more.

Drive to ChangeAbortion laws

WASHINGTON (NC), - Thenationwide ddve to relax or re­peal state abortion laws con­tinues to draw opposition fromgroups, of Catholics throughoutthe nation.

In many states, one of twobills has' been introduced intothe state legislature: ,either a bill'to repeal all abortion laws andleave the question 'to a womanand her doctor, or a bill re­sembling the statute in theAmerican Law Institute's ModelPenal Code.

, IThe ALI bill provides tha~

abortion is permissibie:, When the pregnancy will seri­

ously endanger the physical ormental health of the mother.

When there 'is a substantialrisk that the chi:ld will be bornmentally or physically defective.

When ,the pregnancy is the re­sult of rape or incest.

Most other bills fall some­where between these two pro­posals.

Ba,p\fBsts Oppose~rt1yoy t@ Vatican'

WASHINGTON (NC)-Lead­ers of eight Baptist denomina­tions with more than 20 millionmembers have urged PresidentNixon not to send a permanentenvoy to the Vatican.

The Baptists Joint Committeeon Public Affairs, asked thePresident to keep U. S.-Vaticanrelations on a ,"flexible and in-'.formaf' basis instead of appoint­ing a permanent diplomatic rep­resentative.

The plea was prompted byNixon's statement that sendinga permanent U. S. envoy to theVatican is a "possibility" that is"under study" at the WhiteHouse.

The Baptist committee toldNixon it recognized the impor­tance to world peace of main­taining open lines of communi­cation to such an important glo­bal listening post as the Vatican;but said formal. diplomatic rela­tions with the headquarters ofthe Roman' Catholic Churchwould not be "consistent withthe American m_odel of church­state relationships."

warded memos suggesting proj-,ects, programs, material forspeeches. Some of his offeringswere acted upon, more or less,while others fell into oblivionof file or wastebasket.

Readily allowing that he wasnot an insider, and that hiscannot be counted an insider'sstory of the Johnson administra­tion, Professor Goldman avowsaspiring merely to write amodest, informal blend of his­tory and memoir. He does notadn;lit to any desire to payoffaccumulated scores, but somewill see the book in that invid­ious light.

Lilttle IDIormationCertainly his portrait of Mr.

Johnson is not, on balance, anadmiring one. The former Pres­ident, he says, strictly divided'all people into two classes:friends' and enemies. He wantedno disagreement. He sought tohead a feudaJ establishment.

Some of the Goldman report­ing (or repetition) is quitepedestrian, 'and evidences littleif any special information on thewriter's part. Parts of it couldadvisedly have been cut. Butone's notice is caught by Pro­fessor Goldman's contention thatit was' not the secretive andeven sly involvement of thecountry in combat on the Asianmainland which underminedpopular confidence in the Pres-ide~t. '

He maintains that even at thepeak of his presidency, Mr.Johnson did not command thepeople's trust. "The conspicu­ousness of his political' skills,combined with the general im­pression left by' the man, mademore people more sure that he

,did everything only by politicallegerdemain and only for per­sonal advantage. It was in thiscontext that the charge of cred­ibility gap cut so deeply."

Place in HistoryHowever, he says, "Probably

history will be generous-and itshould be-to Lyndon Johnson."Certainly Mr. Johnson waskeenly concerned - about hisplace in history, and Mr. Gold-'man holds it to be another of theJohnsonial)l mistakes that, thePresident thought he could de­

-termine the historical versionby sequestering, much of thedocumentation on which re­search would have to be based.

Mr. Goldman was commonlyregarded as the intellectual inresidence at the White House.This part he strenuously dis­claims, and it, was always, clearthat the President did not soregard him and did not wanthim'so regarded. But inevitablyMr. Goldman did_become such abridge as there was betweenthe White House and the intel­le,ctual community.

The bridge had relatively lit­tle traffic; and even that little,was not friendly: A whole chap­ter (57) pages' was given to theWhite House Festival of Artsin 1965, its planning and its al­most aboried occurrence. Misun­derstanding and bitter conten­tiousness C!ttended this even,fromits inception. There were hos­'tility and bad' manners on thepart of some participants, andsuspicion' on the part of theWhite House. ..

Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

Lyndon Johns n, even at the height of his' success, wasa passe President. This is the judgment of Eric Goldman,professor of histo y at Princeton, who, from late 1963 un­til September, 196 was a consultant to the President andoccupied a White ouse of­fice. He expresses it in TheTragedy of Lyndo Johnsofl(Knopf; 501 Mad son Ave.,New York, N. Y. 10 22, $8.95),an enormous, and in eed over­inflated, book,which none theless holds one'sattentionthroughout. InProfessor Gold­man's view, Mr.Johnson wasout of touchwith Americansociety as ithad developedby th~ middle1 9 6 0'5. I ndomestic issues, he as captiveto the' concepts of T xas popu­lism and the New Deal, andthought their fulfill ent suf~i-

cient. 'In foreign policy, "he grasped

into the past and laid hold of anattic doctrine whic includedeven apostrophes to t e flag andinternational deeds f derring­do." But America an the worldhad moved well be ond thesesituations and attitud s.

High Intellige ceMuch more than th s accounts

for what Professor Goldmanconsiders to he th - Johnsontragedy. There are, f r example,what he sees as the f aws iIi theman himself. These ay be re­duced to a basic 'ins curity re­sulting from his cram ed begin­nings and theirbperma ent effect,when he was vaulte into theparamount and mos powerfulposition in the Unite States.

Professor' Goldman gives Mr.Johnson high marks or intelli­gence. The author has associatedwith brilliant peopl, but hesays, "I am sure th t I havenever met a more intelligentperson than Lyndon Johnson­intelligent in terms of sheer IQ's,a clear, swift, penetrating mind,with an abundance f its owntype of imagination a d subtle-ties." ,

The trouble, as he elieves, isthat this native a ility wasnever properly. deve oped, fed,stretched. Mr. Johnso 's educa­tion was poor in subs ance" ply­ing an excellent ind withskimpy fare. The Pre ident hadsome awareness of thi , and wastouchy, about it. It w s in envyand self;...defense that he spokeslightingly of Harvar I ' men.

in the White House for someyears, was not an i timate ofthe President's, nor d es it ap­pear that he saw him ery often.He had been assigne the taskof assembling a gro p of the"best minds" in the country, theobjective being to p esent thePresident with ideas.

Backlund and Horrocks

.THE ANCHOR-Diocese 01 Fall River-Thurs. Mar. 20, 1969 19

By Luke Sims

D'on' Backlund of Reho­both and Dave Horrocks ofSegregansett are two reas­ons Worcester PolytechnicInstitute basketball coach, Bob­by Devlin, can look with opti­mism toward the 1969 hoop cam­paign.

Don, the son of Mr. and Mrs.Rudolph Backlund of CountyStreet, Rehoboth, is a sophomorewho made a definite impressionon the head mentor during hisbrief appearances as a spotstarter on the Poly varsity.

Following a fine freshmancampaign, Don was elevated tothe varsity at the start of the1968 season, Qut because of aveteran lineup, was used onlysparingly through most of theyear.

In a late season encounterwith a strong Williams Collegequintet, Backlund was given astarting assignment and re­sponded' with a six-point effortand pulled down nine important·rebounds. Devlin was pleasedwith the performance of his 6-1·guard and has predicted a brightfuture for the Rehoboth native.

Horrocks, the son of Mr. andMrs. Kenneth Horrocks of 1159Somerset Ave. in Segregansett,was a starting guard on the finefreshman squad, averaging 12points per game and leading theteam in ,assists.

The two are expected to carrythe backcourt duties for theW'orcester varsity five next sea­son.

Backlund and Horrocks are nostrangers to each other. Both at­tended Dighton-Rehoboth HighSchool where they were .stars onthe Falcon basketball squad.

Both were starting guardsduring Backlund's varsity sea­son and each averaged in thedouble figures.

In addition to the hoop sport,Don also was a standout run­ner on the D-R cross country

IN THE DIOCESE

Bishop Feehan High of Attle­boro and Bishop Stang of Dart­mouth, who {'inished close on theheels of Taunton in the <BCL,are looking for just that littleimprovement that wilt carrythem' to the top. Durfee Highof Fall River 'and Msgr. CoyleHigh of Taunton must be fig­ured in an.other close BCL race.

North Andover knew it had tostop Walsh if it were to carryoff the honors. But, it didn'trealize that the clever Nobregahad a successful game plan.While North Andover managedto keep Walsh fairly well underwraps in the scoring column,the Whaling City Parochialsshifted their attack to Tim Don­ahue who took up the slack,collecting 14 points.

While staunch supporters en­thuse over Gushue's game-sav­ing steal and Donahue's high­scoring total, no one more thanNobrega realizes that the effortsof Gary Dalbec and Jim Lawlesswere just as important in win­ning the class championship.This duo may nof have realizedthe same hallelujahs. They werenevertheless just as importantcogs in the wheel as the moreheralded who corralled greaterattention in the newspapers.

However, as impressive as'shorty' Gushue's game-savingsteal was the success of the like­wise little Whaling City paro­chial school combine. Holy Fam­ily has the smallest student en­rollment of any school compet­ing in a league within the dioc­esan territorial limits.

All Massachusetts today knowswell the name of Jack Nobrega,the tuxedo salesman who is prob­ably the only 'hi.gh school coachin the area who is not a mem­ber of the school faculty.

The basketeers are no longerusing the school gymnasium,but, the baseball candidates arewith indoor practice for the up­coming Spring season alreadyunderway.

Taunton is the defendingtitlist in the Bristol Countybaseball circuit. Seekonk andSomerset are co-defenders inthe Narry loop. Dennis-Yar­mouth hopes to repeat in theCapeway Conference. Cantonwas last year's Hockomock vic­tor. Norton will be seeking toduplicate its championship of)ast Spring in the Tri-ValleyConi::rence.

It is more than coincidencethat Nobrega has compiled oneof the finest recOl~ds of any NewEngland hoop mentor. He hasproduced the best possible re­sults from a limited source ofplayer-supply. Nobrega is de­nied the opportunity of pick­and-choose from a large groupof aspirants. But he has suc­ceeded in hurdling the obstacleof limited personnel.

Nobrega's talented sharp­shooting ace, Billy Walsh, whowas far under his point-averagein the championship encounter,was the man-of-the-hour inHoly Family's triumph. It wasWalsh who tossed ina foul shotin the dying seconds to givethe Blue Wave its first lead inthe game. And it was immedi­ately following this game-win­ning score that North Andoverstarted down the floor bentupon a successful last shot. But,the Middlesex Valley clublearned to its great disappoint­ment of the 'ability of" little"Gushue who had accomplishedsimilar stellar feats in histeam's 25-2 season's mark.

Gomes Testimonial Saturday Night

It's an adage as old as Methuselah that good goodscome in small packages. And, down through the ages, in­dividuals of short stature have been quick to proclaimthe correctness of this oft-repeated maxim. Corporationshave paraphrased and addedto the meaning with theclaim that No.2 is movingahead faster than No. 1.

Bristol County today will at­test to the truth of the good­goods, small-package proverb bypointing to 5'7" John Gushue, averitable midget in this day ofthe over-sized basketball player.

But, it was "little" Gushue­little by comparison with themany giants he has confrontedthis Winter - who "stole" theball with three seconds remain­ing to assure Holy Family Highof New Bedford the EasternMassachusetts Class C court title.

Trailing by one point withonly three seconds remaining,previously undefeated NorthAndover started down the floorfor the so-called last shot whichit hoped would swish the twinesto annex i.ts 26th straight vic­tory.

This was not Gushue's think­ing as the astute and alert play­maker re-enacted a PC LennyWilkens' accomplishment by pil-
