CITIZEN ADVISERS MEET
WITH POSTMASTER GENERAL
ON PROBLEM OF OBSCENITY
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
WASHINGTON — Members
of a citizens’ advisory commit
tee formed to counsel Postmas
ter General Arthur E. Summer-
field on obscenity problems
have met with him for the first
time.
Mr. Summerfield said after
wards that the meeting (Dec.
15) was “purely informative and
explanatory.” The Postmaster
General and members of his
staff spoke to the nine-member
committee, outlining the ob
scenity problem and the Post
Office’s steps to combat it.
Catholic members of the com
mittee are Archbishop William
E. Cousins of Milwaukee, chair
man of the episcopal commit
tee for the National Office for
Decent Literature (NODE), and
Shane MacCarthy, executive di
rector of the President’s Coun
cil- on Youth Fitness.
Archbishop Cousins was rep
resented at the first meeting by
Msgr. Thomas J. Fitzgerald of
Chicago, executive secretary of
the NODL.
During the meeting, Postmas
ter Summerfield told the group
that mail order obscenity is now
a half-billion-dollar annual bus
iness, and is directed increasing
ly at teenagers.
Chief postal inspector David
H. Stephens noted that com
plaints about objectionable ma
terials sent through the mails
will exceed 70,000 this : year,
compared with 50,000 in 1958.
He added that between 1954
and 1958 the arrests for obscen
ity violations increased 45 per
cent. “With 281 arrests, in major
cases during 1959, a new high
in prosecutions for obscenity vi
olations will be reached,” Mr.
Stephens said.
L. Piohe Walter, special assist
ant to the Postmaster General,
outlined the intensified public
information program inaugurate
ed by the Post Office to deal
with mail order obscenity. He
said the program has two main
objectives:
—“To arouse parents in par
ticular to the menace of this
social problem and its damaging
effect upon the dignity and
moral principles of the youth of
America.”
—“To get parents to report
promptly and deliver to local
postmasters unordered obscene
materials received in the mail,
so the Post Office Department
can start action against the pur
veyors of this filth.”
Besides Msgr. Fitzpatrick and
Mr. McCarthy, those attending
the meeting of the advisory
committee were: Erwin D. Can-
ham, president of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce; Roscoe
Drummond, columnist for the
New York Herald Tribune;
Chloe Gifford, president of the
General Federation of Women’s
Clubs; Mrs. James Parker, pres
ident of the National Congress

Religious Teacher
Is 'Elest Exponent
Of True Freedom /
MELBOURNE, Australia,
(NC) — A dedicated religious
teacher “is the best exponent
of true freedom,” according to
a leading Australian church
man.
Coadjutor Archbishop Justin
D. Simonds of Melbourne indi
cated that the greatest of free
doms is “freedom from those
things that hinder our complete
service of God and our fellow
men.”
Archbishop Simonds spoke
after blessing a new wing at
Kilbreda College in nearby
Mentone. Speaking first on the
value of Catholic education, he
also took note in his talk of
what he called a new line
“dyed-in-the-wool secularists”
are taking in the field of edu
cation. This, he said is the
claim that the remedy for the
problems of youth today rests
in the field of psychology, not
religion.
The prelate noted that some
hostile critics of Catholic educa
tion have claimed that it “con
flicts with the democratic ideal
of ‘education for freedom.’ ”
But he said the phrase “educa
tion for freedom” is “a catch-
cry that enshrines a great deal
of deception” and should first of
all be defined.
Calling Robert M. Hutchins—
president of the Fund for the
Republic and former president
of the University of Chicago—
“probably the sanest education
alist in America in our time,”
the Archbishop cited the follow
ing from Dr. Hutchins’ book
“Education for Freedom”:
“ ‘Our great preoccupation to
day is freedom. When we talk
about freedom, we usually
mean freedom from something,
Freedom of the press is freedom
from censorship; freedom of
thought is freedom from think
ing; freedom of worship is free
dom from religion.’ ”
The Archbishop then went on
to say:
“There is a lot of wisdom in
these remarks. Freedom is not
found in escape from service of
others. True freedom is won
when we give ourselves in de
voted service to something
greater than ourselves. In this
respect the religious teacher is
the best exponent of true free
dom.
“The advocate of human self-
sufficiency cannot fail to be
bound by the chains of his own
selfishness. But selfishness is
quite incapable of fostering that
generous personal development
experienced by an unselfish
service in love. Human stature
grows to fuller stature by giv
ing, not by taking for itself.”
At this point the Archbishop
said that “no one can lay better
claim to pursue the idea of ‘ed
ucation for freedom’ than the
dedicated religious teacher.”
Archbishop Simonds noted
that the principle of seculariza
tion was accepted by Australia’s
state governments nearly a cen
tury ago, and said that “there
is a growing dismay at the ef
fects it has had on our young
nation.” He continued:
“Nevertheless, the dyed-in-
the-wool secularists are plug
ging another and newer line. A
number of commentators on
contemporary educational prob
lems, who admit the widespread
tensions in modern youth and
their general sense of frustra
tion, are claiming that the rem
edy lies not in religious ideals
but in the field of psycholo
gy • • •
“I am not one of those who
scoff at all the claims of modern
psychology, for I had the privi
lege of studying it for three
years under two of the foremost
psychologists in Europe. But I
am appaled by some of the dar
ing claims made by a section of
anti-religious psychiatrists . . .
“The psychiatrist who expects
to abolish from man’s mind the
consciousness of sin is just en
joying a ‘pipe-dream.’ No wish
ful thinking will change the
radical character of fallen man,
who is essentially a creature at
odds with himself, needing an
atonement, or, as the world im
plies, an ‘at-one-ment’ with
God. This has been offered to
him by the Perfect Man, Jesus
Christ.
“The psychiatrists seem to
have confused the ‘sense of sin’
with the ‘sense of guilt’ which
is a common psychological bur
den. The ‘guilt complex’ is in
deed a morbid condition that
Cardinal
Muench
Transferred
VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC)
—His Eminence Alois Cardinal
Muench was named to a titular
archbishopric the week before
he became a cardinal, and
relinquished the Diocese of
Fargo, N. D., whose bishop he
had been since 1935.
His Holiness Pope John XXIII
transferred t h ,e Milwaukee-
born churchman from his post
as Bishop of Fargo to that of
Titular Archbishop of Selym-
bria. The appointment was in
effect a technical one made so
that at the time of his nomina
tion to the College of Cardinals
on December 14 it would be
clear that Cardinal Muench
would serve in the central ad
ministration of the Church
rather than keep his pastoral
rule over eastern North Dakota.
The announcement of the
transfer (Dec. 9) came several
days after it was revealed that
the Pope was assigning the
Rome church of San Bernardo
alle Terme. as Cardinal Muench’s
titular church.
On taking possession of San
Bernardo’s—probably within a
month—the former Apostolic
Nuncio to Germany will relin
quish the Titular See of Selym-
bria.
While cardinals who are Or
dinaries of archdioceses or dio
ceses outside Rome each also
has his titular church in Rome;
those who have titular Sees give
them up on taking possession of
their Rome church.
Cardinal Muench was given
the personal title of Archbishop
by Pope Pius XII in 1950 in con
nection with his service as the
papal envoy to Germany. But
he remained Bishop of Fargo
until given the titular arch
bishopric.
He is the second American
cardinal called to serve in the
Roman curia. The only other
was Cardinal Samuel Stritch,
Archbishop of Chicago who was
named Pro-Prefect of the Sacred
Congregation for the Propaga
tion of the Faith in the spring
of 1958. Cardinal Stritch was
stricken and died in Rome that
May, before he was able to take
up his curial duties.
Plea Against
Hatred Lauded
LONDON, (NC) — Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd paid
tribute in the House of Com
mons to example given the
country by the Catholic father
of a young British army officer
slain in Egypt.
F. G. Moorhouse, Leeds bus
inessman, had sent an urgent
plea to a group of army officers
not to go ahead with their plan
to open an anti-Egyptian exhi
bition in London. The exhibit
was to have been opened in re
taliation for one which Egyp
tian extremists reportedly op
ened in Port Said deriding Mr.
Moorhouse’s son, the late Lt.
Anthony Moorhouse.
Lt. Moorhouse was taken cap
tive by Egyptian commandos
during the abortive Anglo-
French intervention in the Suez
Canal zone in 1956 and was
later found dead, reportedly af
ter being tortured. With the re
cruit decision of the Cairo gov
ernment to resume diplomatic
relations with Great Britain,
Egyptian extremists announced
a “Moorhouse Museum” for
anti-British propaganda purpos
es.
The British officers here plan
ned to reply by opening an ex
hibit dealing with the Egyptian
defeat by the Israeli forces.
Mr. Moorhouse sent a tele
gram asking that the officers’
plan be abandoned in the in
terest of presenting futher bit
terness and hatred between na
tions. In deference to the plea,
the project was at once aban
doned.
In paying tribute to the suc
cessful Moorhouse appeal, For
eign Secretary Lloyd told the
House of Commons (Dec. 7): “I
think we all must have been
very much moved by the terms
of the telegram sent by the
parents of Lieutenant Moor
house.”
psychology can help to cure.
But man will always be ‘in sin’
in spite of the expressed aim of
the psychiatrists to re-interpret
the concepts of right and wrong.
“In the end, the doctrine of
original sin, the at-one-ment
and the grace of Jesus Christ of
fers to humanity far greater
hope of peace of mind than any
new psychotherapy that aims to
eradicate for the minds of fu
ture youths the traditional con
cepts of right and wrong . . .’
Pleasures from vacation trips
may not exceed expectations—
