W. ATLANTA. GA. month after arriving here from Chicago to take up the post of Pro-Prefect of the Sacred Con gregation for the Propagation of the Faith, the Church’s agency in charge of missions through out the world. The prelate’s right arm had been amputated a little above the elbow because of a blood clot three days after his arrival, and he later suf fered a stroke while recovering from the operation. His Holiness Pope Pius XII sent the Sistine choir to sing the requiem Mass for the 70- year-old prelate who died in the city where he was ordained to the priesthood 48 years ago. The people paid their major tribute to the Cardinal the day before the funeral Mass, when his body was borne slowly through the streets of down town Rome from the North American College where it had rested in state to St. Ignatius, where the prelate’s body spent its last night in the Eternal City with the remains of SS. Aloysius Gonzaga and Robert Bellarmine. In a solemn cererbony at the North American College earlier that same afternoon, the eulogy of the late Cardinal was read in. sonorous Latin by a prelate of the papal master of ceremonies office. The body had been re moved from the black draped bier and placed in a double cof fin of zinc and walnut lined with purple silk. After the eulogy Msgr. Ernest Primeau, rector of Rome’s Chi cago House for priests of that archdiocesan taking post-grad uate studies, knelt by the casket and placed a scarlet silk veil over the face of the departed Cardinal. A copy of the eulogy enclos ed in a cylindrical lead tube was placed at the feet of the Cardinal who wore the purple robes of an archbishop vested for Mass. A simple white miter rested just below his gloved left hand. The lid of the casket was af fixed in the presence of Msgr. Enrico Dante, prefect of papal ceremonies, and other officials. A purple ribbon forming a cross was fastened on the lid with the official seals required by cere monies marking the death of a cardinal. The lid also carried a brass plate indicating the pre late’s name and title, the date of his birth and of his death, and a brass cross. A procession led by a cross bearer then began its three- quarter of a mile march from the college to the Church of St. Ignatius. More than 100 sem inarians wearing supplices pre ceded the glass-walled hearse carrying the wooden coffin with the Cardinal’s red hat on top. Following the hearse were Bishop Martin J. O’Connor, rec tor of North American College, Archbishop Pietro Sigismondi, Secretary of the Sacred Congre gation for the Propagation of the Faith, all the priests from the IN GREATER ATLANTA 970 Columbia Drive, near Glenwood 4503 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., Chamblee Highway 65, Forrest Park 1317 Pryor St,, S.

Other Stores Throughout The State And Nation Chicago archdiocese present in Rome, the Cardinal’s relatives and friends who came to Rome during his illness, and some 400 seminarians and priests from North American College and the College of Propaganda Fide. Also in the group were many Asian, African, South American and Philippine priests and sem inarians studying in Rome. As the Cardinal’s body moved slowly through downtown traf fic, thousands of Romans halted. In pious fashion men, women and children stopped whatever they were doing and crossed themselves, repeating in their act the solemnities observed only a few minutes before at the college where priests had prayed “Vale in Christo” — farewell in Christ. Police along the route came to attention and rendered the military salute. Some women threw kisses to the passing body and some men, obviously mili tary, came to attention and bowed solemnly from the waist. The funeral cortege, preceded slowly by a motorcycle escort, moved across the Tiber and up the busy Corso Victor Emmanu el, then turned left to pass be hind the Pantheon and by the Church where St. Catherine of Siena is buried, and minally halted in the 17th-century square of St. Ignatius. The casket was carried into the church and placed in a gold, and black draped bier, while the Cardinal’s tasseled hat hung on the front of the bier to mark the prelate’s resting place. The bier was surrounded by 104 tall candles and black draped benches where the following day high ranking prelates as sisted at the Requiem Mass. Celebrant at the Mass was Bishop O’Connor with two of the Pope’s private chamberlains, Msgr. Sergio Minelli and Msgr. Pio Dominicis, acting respect ively as decon and sub-deacon. Ranged on two benches in the sanctuary were the cardinals of the Roman Curia, among them Their Eminences Eugene Card inal Tisserant, Dean of the Sac red College, and Pietro Cardi nal Fumasoni Biondi, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, under whom Cardinal Stritch would have served. Among the distinguished mourners were several other Princes of the Church and pre lates visiting Rome, as well as the top-ranking prelates of the Vatican Secretariat of State and representatives of the Italian government. Visiting prelates included Archbishop Aloisius J. Muench, Bishop of Fargo, N. D., and Papal Nuncio to Germany, and Archbishop Giovanni Pani- co, Apostolic Delegate to Can ada. Assisting on the altar were Chicago seminarians John Fla vin, John Keating, John Hot- chin and James Roache. At the conclusion of the Mass Cardinal Tisserant imparted ab solution assisted by Father James Egan of Oak Park, 111., a graduate student at the North American College, and semi narian Peter Zavadowski of Ci cero, 111. Outside the church during Mass stood an Italian honor guard of Alpine troops and army, navy and air force mem bers as well as a military band which sounded a trumpet call at the elevation of the Host and played Chopin’s Funeral March during the elevation of the cha lice. Cardinal Stritch’s body re mained in the church for three hours after the funeral Mass and was then taken to Ciampino Airport where it was placed aboard a TWA airliner in the presence of the honor guard of Italian troops. Accompanying the Cardinal’s body to Chicago aboard the plane were Msgr. James Hardi- man, the Cardinal’s personal secretary, Msgr. Primeau; Msgr. Patrick Hayes, rector of Holy Name cathedral in Chicago; Msgr. Andrew P. Landi, direc tor of Catholic Relief Services- National Catholic Welfare Con ference for Italy, Msgr. Pio Ben- incasa, of the Secretariat of State, and the Cardinal’s ne phews, Father Morris Stritch and Robert Emmet Stritch.

WASHINGTON, (NC) — A television panel debating “Re ligion and the Presidency,” on a nationwide broadcast, agreed generally that candidates might be asked political questions that are related to Church practice. Two of the four panel mem bers — both members of Protes tants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State — said Catholics must be closely quizzed because they are most subject to what they called powerful influences. Participants in Lawrence Spi- vak’s hour-long program, “The Big Issue,” broadcast over NBC- TV (June 1) were: Congress man Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota; Dean Francis B. Sayre, Jr., of Washington Epis copal Cathedral; Dr. John A. MacKay, president, Princeton Theological Seminary, and past POAU vice president, and Glenn L. Archer, executive director of POAU. Rep. McCarthy said that can didates could be questioned if the queries are “truly political.” “The only thing that I would object to,” he said, “is the kind of implies, if not stated, assump tion that a Catholic would an swer these questions in only one way.” “For example,” he continued, “when you raise the questions as to whether a Catholic candidate for the presidency is in favor of boycotting the public schools, you attribute to him a position which he may not hold. “I think the better question is to ask him whether he is in fa vor of public support at the Federal level for the mainten ance of public schools. That is a political question. “Now you can ask him about an Ambassador to the Vatican, but this is not a Catholic- Protestant position; this is a question of national policy,” he said. Dean Sayre, to illustrate that persons other than Catholics might be asked similar political questions, said that voters might want to know the stand of a Christian scientist with respect to a public program of immuni zation through polio shots. Dean Sayre also dealt with the charges of some Protestants who maintain that Catholics cannot be conscientious officials because they have “an alleg iance to a foreign power,” as represented by the Pope. “I think this accusation does an injustice to my Roman bre thren,” he said. “I would say that the allegiance given by Roman Catholics is not to a foreign power, but to the Lord and in this they are virtually no different from Protestants.” “We too,” he said, “owe an allegiance to the Lord which is over and above and beyond the allegiance we owe to the state . . . No Christian can grant to the state an absolute right over his conscience,” Dean Sayre said. Dr. Mackay, who served from 1948 to 1954 as POAU vice pres ident, expressed fear of what he called “the tremendous reality of clericalism” that he charged would face a Catholic president. Clericalism he defined as the pursuit of political power by a religious hierarchy. He said he would like a Cath olic candidate “to make it plain” that he wduld resist the so- called pressure. But he admitted under newsmen’s questioning that Protestant churches have often tried to dominate the sec ular order and that Protestants can be subjected to pressure. In his presentation, Mr. Archer, POAU’s executive di rector, repeated most of the questions for Catholic candi dates that his organization dis- OUTBOARD SALES & SERVICE 802 PRYOR ST., S. W. JA. 4-8766 OUTBOARD SALES & SERVICE Johnson Seahorse Motors — Cadillac and Tomahawk Boats — Holsclaw Trailers — Marine Supplies — Parts Repairs — All Motors tributed several months ago. These included questions about whether Catholics stand for “religiously - segregated schools,” whether they would be inclined to appoint an ambassa dor to the Vatican “contrary to our tradition and our law,” and whether they “accept the American basic law that no man shall be required to pay a tax to support another man’s relig ion.” “Seeking to buttress his ar gument that the Catholic Church has “taken some posi tions in the political field that run contrary to our Constitution and to our tradition” and that “the normal checks and bal ances of the government of the United States are inadequate when it comes to pressure of the Roman Catholic Church,” Mr. Archer used three major ex amples. Referring to the U. S. Con gress, he said: “Let me give you an example. When they (Con gress) appointed a million dol lars for the Pope’s summer home, there wasn’t anybody who would stand up against it lest he be called anti-Catholic or anti-religious and that went through by a voice vote.” Mr. Archer had reference to a measure signed by President Eisenhower in June, 1956, which paid the State of Vatican City $964,199 for war damages by American bombings to Castel- gandolfo, the papal summer res idence. During World War II, Ameri can air raids, aimed at nearby German encampments, hit Cas- telgandolfo, not only damaging the building, grounds and valu able art work, but killing an es timated 1,500 to 2,000 Italians who had taken refuge there. Mr. Archer also said that in Maine, the Roman Catholic ac- tionists threatened to dump 900 students on the public schools until they could have public monies.” He had reference here to moves made in March, 1957, by parents of children in Augusta’s two parochial schools to get city-sponsored school bus trans portation for those pupils living more than a mile from school. That city’s voters had approv ed the transportation in Decem ber, 1956, in an advisory vote carried out in connection with municipal elections. But the transportation was not granted. The parents then said they would withdraw their children from parochial schools and put them in already-overcrowded public schools unless transporta tion was granted. The action was postponed, however, when city officials and parents agreed on a legal test of such transportation. The Ken nebec Superior County Court has since upheld the transporta tion plan and an appeal is now pending before the Maine Su preme Court. The third of Mr. Archer’s ex amples was this: “Only two Barbers Local Union No. 23 AFL-CIO Patronize Union Barbers weeks ago, in the city of Bloom field, N. J., Roman Catholic priests took children out of the public schools and raised the papal pronunciation saying their authority transcended the au thority of the school board.” Mr. Archer had reference to about 150 Catholic students in Bloomfield and neighboring Glen Ridge public high schools who left classes on May 13 and 14 about an hour before school closed to attend their annual retreat. The students took this action when the Boards of Education in the two towns refused to grant permission for the absenc es. In previous years, the two boards had released the stu dents. But last year, the Glen Ridge board refused. It took the same position this year and the Bloomfield board followed suit. Priests of eight area parishes had advised parents in a letter it was a religious duty to have the students attend the annual retreat. All the students pre sented school officials with writ ten requests by parents for the absences. Roller Skating Center 4405 Buford Highway ATLANTA'S NEWEST!
