Richard J .Walsh, NCCM di
rector of radio and television
said: “This series will try to
bridge the gap between the
sterile loneliness' of the modern
agnostic and the productive soli
tude of the thoughtful modern
Christian.”
The second program, “Man
and Guilt,” on February 14, will
compare the modern psycho
logical approach to guilt with
the theological treatment of
guilt as. found in the writings
of St. Augustine.
On February 21, “Man the
Rebel” will outline the modern
need for a proper spirit of re
bellion. It will contrast Chris
tianity’s rebellion against
“worldliness” with the modern
pursuit of rebellion for its own
sake.
“Man the Absurd,” on Feb

foolishness. of life without
Christ and, in turn, the moti
vated “foolishness” of life with
Christ.
The relationship of modern
emphasis on emotional and phy
sical ecstasy to Christian mysti
cal experience will be treated,
on the March 6 program, en
titled “The Search for Ecstacy.”
On March 13, “The Under

Congress Prayer
Marks Ukrainian
Independence Day
■WASHINGTON, (NC) — In
commemoration of the 42nd an
niversary of Ukrainian inde
pendence, Father Stephen J.
Cherpta, rector of St. Vladimir’s
pro-cathedral and dean of St.
Basil’s College, Stamford,
Conn., served as guest chaplain
at the U. S. House of Repre
sentatives.
Reciting the traditional pray
er opening the House session,
Father Cherpta prayed for all
enslaved victims of commun
ism.
“In particular,” he said, “we
pray for the Ukrainian people,
who are the first victims and
who have suffered unmerciful
ly four decades of the ruthless
liquidations, starvations and in
human tortures of this dread
ful scourge, which even threat
ens the peace of the world.”
Catholic and other Ukrain-
ian-American groups through
out the nation remembered
that on January 22, 1918, the
independence of the Ukraine
was proclaimed, only to be, lost
two years later in the com
munists’ Russian revolution.

WASHINGTON, — The West
German Government has said
that communist East Germany
instigated the anti-Jewish inci
dents which spread across the
Federal Republic.
As for those in other parts of
world, such as Great Britain,
Australia and the United States,
a writer in a prominent New
York city newspaper says the
flames of anti-Semitism were
fanned into a worldwide blaze
by Reds working with neo-nazis
and other hate groups.
Another writer, also appear
ing in a chief New York news
paper, says British Intelligence
officials have information that
the incidents, were “fomented
by direct orders from the Krem
lin.” He undertakes to quote
from one such order.
This is understandable for it
is known the Reds have a high
ly developed technique of using
a worldwide chain of propa
gandists to incite desired ac
tions.
The West Germany allegation
of Red involvement came in a
lengthy document issued by the
Bonn Defense Ministry. It
charged that East Germany’s
communist central committee
last January instructed its prop
agandists to launch a campaign
to create anti-Semitic incidents
in West Germany.
In addition, government
spokesmen said some persons
charged with taking part in the
outbreak have communist con
nections.
All indications are that the
drive to amass evidence showing
the communists, role will con
tinue. And as it does, the plot
is turned more and more against
the plotters.
It is not difficult to speculate
what might inspire such a com
munist scheme. Discredit free
Germany, they would reason,
and this may produce world
protest against rearming the
country. Employ the communist
net of propagandists in other
countries so as to increase
alarm in these areas.
As the link between the Reds
and the incidents is more fully
developed, however, the com
munist argument can be thrown
back at them, with the charge
that their vile tactic indicates
the importance they place on
a weak West Germany and this
means the program to rearm the
country should proceed.
However, a hope expressed
here is that Bonn, or the world,
will ndt pass off the outbreaks
as communist inspired and
without other significance.
All nations must continue to
be vigilant against racism. Not

much can be done for the per
son of diseased mind who lurks
below society’s surface waiting
his opportunity to vent hate.
But, on the other hand, it
would seem something can be
done to end the ignorance of
those pranksters who smear on
a wall a symbol they do not
understand.
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
says he suspects this type of
immaturity is responsible for
most incidents. The American
Jewish Congress, in its report
on the approximately 70 U. S.
incidents, notes that not one
person over 13 years of age has
been charged with participation
in them.
Here clearly lies a challenge
for parents and educators. Both
seem to have an obligation to
review their efforts to impart
a sense of brotherhood and to
explain the vicious racist philos
ophy which produced under
Hitler horrors that shook the
world.

BRUSSELS, — Belgian Cath
olics have binding ties and ob
ligations to the people of the
Belgian Congo even after Con
golese independence, the Bel
gian Bishops declared in a joint
pastoral letter.
Indicating sympathy for the
striving for independence by
the people of the Congo, the
Bishops said they “expect much
of an independent Congo and
are happy to recall that it was
Belgian missionaries who first
gave the Africans a sense of
order, social justice and of in
tellectual and economic devel
opment.”
“The natives of the Congo are
your brothers,” the Bishops told'
their people. They added that
therefore “Congo missions
should have a priority of cha
rity and help by both religious
and lay missionaries.”
The pastoral, isstled on tne
feast of the Epiphany (Jan. 6),
goes on to state that the Catho
licism of the Congo “will de
pend for a long time on your
Belgian Catholics.”
Noting that it was only this
past November that the Holy
See superseded the old apos
tolic vicariates and prefectures
with arch-dioceses and dioces
es, giving the country a regular
hierarchy, the Belgian Bishops
said that in the 60 years of the
Congo mission “no less than 668
missionaries died.” This makes
no count of those who return
ed home in “ruined health,”
they said.
The Bishops pointed with
pride to the maturity of the
Congolese Church, especially to
the number of native priests.
Three residential bishops and
two auxiliaries are native Af
ricans, they said, as is a total
of 461 priests. In addition, there
are 473 Brothers and 1,075 Sis
ters who ard Africans. All told,
the Bishops said, there were
6,100 missionaries in the Congo
and the adjoining trust territory
of Ruanda-Urundi last year.
14th Appeal For Relief Fund
Of U. S. Bishops Stresses Role
In Helping Cause Of World Peace
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
WASHINGTON — The 14th
annual appeal for the worldwide
overseas relief program of U. S.
Catholics has been launched
with emphasis on how curbing
hunger and deprivation can help
the cause of world peace.
The goal set for the Catholic
Bishops’ Relief Fund Appeal is
$5,000,000. The drive begins on
Ash Wednesday March, 2, with
a Lenten campaign in Catholic
schools.
The week of March 20 to 27
will be observed in most of the
nation’s 16,500 Catholic church
es as the time for local, appeals
with a special collection on Lae-
tare Sunday, March 27.
This was announced by Arch
bishop Karl J. Alter of Cincin
nati, chairman of the admini
strative board of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, the
U. S. Bishops’ voluntary coordi
nating agency.
In a letter to the nation’s
Cardinals, Archbishops and
Bishops, Archbishop Alter said
this year’s drive is more import
ant than ever for the success
of Catholic Relief Services —
National Catholic Welfare Con
ference, the Bishops’ relief ag
ency.
“The hunger and deprivation
that continue to exist in so
many parts of the world and
which, together with the refu
gee problem, must be alleviat
ed if world peace is to be achiev
ed, make the success of this
year’s appeal more important
than ever,” he said.
“Then too,” he added, “there
are the needs in Latin America
that have been stressed by the
Holy Father and for which ad
ditional appropriations have had
to be made.”
Archbishop Alter extended an
invitation to the Bishops to par
ticipate in the campaign by in
cluding their dioceses in the
Laetare Sunday appeal and by
appoihting diocesan directors for
the 1960 drive.
In the meantime, in N e w
York, where CRS-NCWC has
Empire State Building head
quarters, Msgr. Edward E.
Swanstrom, executive director,
said the minimum goal of $5,-
000,000 provides the basis for
maintaining the agency’s relief
operations.
In 1959, he said, the dona
tions of U. S. Catholics enabled
CRS-NCWC to function in 51
countries, among 40,000,000
needy people.
“It also enabled CRS-NCWC
to ship overseas for the third
successive year more than one
billion pounds of clothing, medi
cines, and U. S. government sur
plus food valued at more than
$115,000,000,” he said.
Since its inception in 1943, the
Catholic agency has become the
largest voluntary relief agency
of its kind in the world, he said.
In these 16 years, the total
amount of food,, clothing, medi
cines and other relief supplies
shipped by the Bishops’ agency
has totaled 5,310,999,101 pounds,
with a value of $804,791,478, ac
cording to CRS-NCWC records.
While unemployment, poverty
and other problems made it nec
essary for CRS-NCWC to main
tain large relief programs in Eu
ropean areas, particularly in
Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ita
ly, the emphasis on the agency’s
efforts during the period was
concentrated on under-develop
ed areas of Latin America, Asia,
the Far East and Africa.
In Europe, it concentrated its
efforts on newly arriving refu
gees, for whom integration' and
resettlement support is avail
able from the U. S. government
and in supplying surplus food,
clothing and other materials to
refugee camps.

ST. LOUIS — A child’s sex
education should begin as soon
as he begins to be aware of the
world around him, probably
when he is three or four' years
old, a priest-sociologist said
here.
Father Donald F. Miller,
C.SS.R,, associate editor of the
Liguoriati magazine, and author
of a score of pamphlets on so
cial problems, made the state
ment (Jan. 10) on a television
program dealing with sex edu
cation in school.
“A child needs education in
sex from the time he is around
three to the time he is around
17,” the Redemptorist priest
said. “It must be given gradu
ally, over a long period of time.
Only the parents are with a
child over such a long period,
and only the parents are equip
ped with the knowledge and
love to put the point across.”
The priest said past experi
ence has proven that when sex
instruction is given to 20 or 30
pupils at a time, it often leads
to immoral experimentation by
the pupils.
John E. Bardgett, St. Louis
attorney, upheld the belief that
sex education should be given
in all schools, since it is a part
of the body of truth, and
schools should teach the truth.
Father Miller answered by
saying that much sex instruc
tion was given by Catholic
schools, in the form of instruc
tions on Christian modesty, on
the Sixth Commandment, and
on marriage.
“The subject is not taboo,”
he said. “But giving detailed in
structions, as has been proposed
for the first time during the
last 25 or 30 years, is quite an
other matter.”
“If mbn were angels and had
no bodies, they could deal with
sex instruction as they deal
with chemistry or history. But
men are not angels, and detail
ed sex instruction can and does
lead to moral danger.”
He said detailed sex instruc
tion, that parents should give
their children includes three
elements: the positive one of
teaching God’s plan in regard
to sex, the negative one of
teaching the evils of sex abuses,
and the teaching of both posi
tive and negative truths against
the background of religion.
“There must be more in pro
per sex education than scien
tific facts alone,” the priest
said. “Knowledge of sex, given
in a purely scientific way, will
often be more of a temptation
than no sex education at all.”
“Teaching sex is not like
teaching biology. It is a very
delicate matter, a matter which
by its very nature must be re
served to the sanctuary of the
home,” he concluded.
