CATHOLIS
LITERATURE
AT AIRPORT
CLEVELAND, (NC) — Free
Catholic literature is doing a
booming business at the Cleve-
land-Hopkins airport.
An average of 2,000 Catholic
magazines, pamphlets and
newspapers are picked up each
month by travelers passing the
“help yourself” reading rack
The “sky apostolate,” now
entering its fourth year, ha
distributed about 55,000 copie;
of such publications.
The work of providing this
reading material is done by 29
members of the St. Christo
pher Parish Men’s Sodality
from nearby Rocky River. Cost
of the material, which has
risen to $614 annually, is met
through contributions from
the sodalists and their friends.
A spokesman said the pur
pose of the program is to give
travelers some “thinking ma
terial” as they soar through
the sky. He said business picks
up when planes are delayed
by bad weather. “There are
times,” he added, “when spir
itual reading is preferred and
we try to keep it handy.”

CATHOLIC HIERARCHY ASSERTS
Ceylon's School Seizure Laws
Unparalleled In Any Democracy
COLOMBO, Ceylon, (Radio,
NC) — The Catholic Bishops
of Ceylon labeled government
plans to seize ownership of
private schools “drastic legis
lation which is without paral
lel in any democratic country.”
They made the charge in a
public statement (Jan. 6) after
Cabinet Chairman C. P. De
Silva said in a broadcast to
the nation:
“The government proposes
to summon Parliament imme
diately and introduce the
necessary legislation whereby
all school premises and build
ings will be taken over com
pletely and the ownership
thereof vested in the govern
ment without compensation.”
The Bishops in their state
ment nonetheless reiterated
their “willingness to arrive at
a fair and just settlement of
this vexed question.”
The government announce
ment came at a time when,
according to government
sources, 70 out of the 704 ver
nacular Catholic schools —
whose management was sup
posed to have been taken over
by the regime on December 1
were still under protest
occupation by Catholic fam
ilies.
Archbishop Thomas Cooray,
O.M.I., of Colombo, head of
the Catholic Hierarchy, said
in a New Year’s message:
“The purpose of our struggle
is not to do violence or cause
harm to anyone, as some seem
to fear; it is not through lust
for wordly gain as some very
unkindly have said; much less
it is through a desire to sub
vert or destroy the secular
state.”
He added:
“Not only, have we always
disassociated ourselves from
all acts of violence in this re
gard, but we continue to pro-

test against all such measures
with all possible vehemence
and to forbid such designs
with all the authority at our
command.
“Our struggle is for the
souls of our children, for their
correct education according to
our religious tenents on which,
we believe, their eternal hap
piness depends. We should not
be penalized for our religious
beliefs or their proper exer
cise. That would be most cruel
indeed.
“Our people consider the
right to have the free exercise
of their religion to be more
precious than mere material
progress. We beg the State
not to drive them to despera
tion. In justice, no one can be
denied the right to self-defense
against unjust aggression. The
State may have might. But
from that it does not follow
that might is necessarily right.
May right rather than might
prevail over the public life
of our beloved country.”
The new leftist government
headed by Mrs. Sirimavo Ban-
daranaike pushed through leg
islation to take over manage
ment of most of the nation’s
2,500 private schools in mid-
November. The take-over was
originally planned for January
1. But the government ad
vanced the seizure date to De
cember 1 shortly after the ini
tial legislation was passed.
Catholic parents in many parts
of the' island thereupon barri
caded themselves within the
schools and erected barbed
wire fences to prevent seizure.
Since then,* the government
has announced that its bill to
complete expropriation of the
schools and grounds would be
ready by January 12, and that
Parliament would be sum
moned to enact the legislation
soon after that.
The announcement of the
firming-up of the regime’s
plans came after a period of
increasing bitterness. The day
after Christmas, truck loads of
police armed with search war
rants entered the premises of
Catholic vernacular schools
under parental occupation.
The searches, it was reported,
were “for hand-bombs and
other dangerous weapons.”
The names of the occupiers
were taken down by the
police.
Two days later (Dec. 28),
Cabinet Chairman, De Silva
said in a broadcast that “firm
action” would be taken, and
the police had been instructed
to proceed against the “squat
ters” in the schools. He said
also that the assurance given
earlier by Prime Minister
Bandaranaike that force would
not be used in the case of the
occupied schools would have
to be reviewed.
Mr. De Silva warned that
students absent from the
schools on or after January 3
would be penalized.
The Ceylonese police have
generally been credited with
acting in a sense of justice
and fair play in carrying out

their duties. But Mr. De Silva
asserted that “many law-
abiding citizens . . . are anx
ious to end this illegal occupa
tion by throwing the occupiers
out.”
Ceylon’s Catholic newspa
per, The Messenger, promptly
expressed surprise that a gov
ernment spokesman would la
bel as “law-abiding citizens”
private citizens who would ar
rogate to themselves the work
of ending the occupation.
Other related developments
included these:
—while the government can
celled all leave here and pre
pared for new police action,
Mrs. Bandaranaike stated
while visiting nearby South
India that there was only a
“little bit of trouble” and that
“only five per cent of the na
tion” was obstructionist.
—new controversy arose
here because the Christmas
message recorded in behalf of
Archbishop Cooray was cen
sored by the government-
operated Radio Ceylon. The
station had asked to record the
message, as in previous years,
but deleted six of the allotted
15 minutes. Among the pas
sages censored was one stat
ing: “It can happen that in be
ing faithful to God’s law we
have even to suffer persecu
tion from men.”
—thousands of Catholics all
over Ceylon made special
Christmas offerings in behalf
of Christian education, cutting
down their traditional Christ
mas celebrations in order to
do so.
