NEWS SERVICE) HOLYOKE, Mass., — Quad ruplets born at Providence Hospital here are all doing fine, and so are the parents and their six other children. “You’re kidding!” grasped Mrs. Raymond J. Feyre, the 114-pound mother when she was informed by her doctor that she had quadruplets. She had expected triplets, but not quads. And Mr. Feyre bore up well under the news. “Won derful!” he exclaimed. “How are they?” I’ll support them.” The couple, members of Sa_ cred Heart parish, temporarily forgot the heavy damage caused by a fire in February that forced them to move to a municipal housing unit while their home is being re paired. The quadruplets were born March 29 in the space of 10 minutes. They arrived in this order: 9:40, a. m., Margaret Mary, 3 pounds, 11 ounces; 9:45, James Michael, 3 pounds, 5 ounces; 9:47, Maureen Ann, 3 pounds, 9V2 ounces; and 9:50, Robert Joseph, 3 pounds, 13 ounces. Msgr. James J. Fitzgibbons, pastor of Sacred Heart parish, blessed the mother and chil dren within two days after the quadruplets were born. The tots will have to remain in Providence Hospital until they weigh at least five pcmnds, but the mother left the hospital April 4. The chil dren will be baptized in Sa cred Heart Church. In addition to the quads, the Feyres have a set of eight-year old twins, a boy and a girl. The children of school age are pupils at Sacred Heart School. Mrs. Feyre, 35, and Mr. Feyre, 38, an insurance agent, have received scores of gifts and letters of congratulations since the birth of the quadrup lets. Among the messages was one from Gov. John A. Volpe of Massachusetts. A local radio station started a trust fund for the quadrup lets. The Holyoke Chamber of Commerce began solicitations for gifts for the family, which it plans to honor at a break fast April 19. A dairy has promised the Feyres four quarts of milk a day for a year and a furniture store has provided four cribs. A crew of carpenters is re pairing the Feyre home, but Mr. Feyre expressed doubt whether the home will be large enough now. “I hope to build an exten sion on it,” he said. Report Execution Of Priest (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) A Catholic priest, arrested recently by the Cuban gov ernment as an anti-Castro reb el in the Escambray moun tains, is reported to have been executed. The report of the execution of Father Francisco Lopez Rlasquez comes from a Hon duras radio broadcast on the basis of unconfirmed Havana reports. Government controlled news papers charged Father Lopez Blasquez — a 45-year-old na tive of Granada, Spain— with being a “direct accomplice” of the rebel leader Evelio Duque. The Catholic hierarchy has maintained official silence, but Catholic spokesmen described the newspaper charges against the priest as “outrageously ridiculous.” They said that his superiors had granted him per. mission to take care of the spiritual needs of the rebels, just as permission had been granted to priests to care for members of Prime Minister Fidel Castro’s forces when they were seeking to over throw the previous regime of Fulgencio Batista. Meanwhile, in Havana, Cu ban secret police conducted a dawn raid on a Catholic uni versity organization Agrupa- cion Catolica universitaria con nected with the National Uni versity of Havana. Several per sons, including a priest, were arrested but released a few hours later. Also in Havana, Cuban com munist leader Jesus Soto de manded at a public meeting that priests and counter-revo lutionaries be executed. At the same meeting Education Mini ster Armando Hart blamed the Church for the recent bomb ing of the Nobel Academy in La Vibora which injured nine girls. Limitations of night driving are more drastic than com monly believed, according to a Highway Research Board study. It was found that three hours of night driving after normal bedtime produces an uncontrollable drowsiness in 9 out of 10 motorists. (N.C.W.C. News Service) WASHINGTON — The up hill climb facing backets of Federal aid to private educa tion looked steeper this week because of the administration’s controversial legal stand. In a 63-page memorandum to Congress, the Department of Health Education and Wel fare limited constitutional aid to those funds lent to primary and secondary church schools “for special purposes not close ly related to religious instruc tion.” Even aid conceived this nar rowly does not guarantee con stitutionality, said the memo randum. It conceded only that it is “likely” that “constitu tional objections may be avoid ed” by such aid. In brief, the administration took these stands: 1. Across-the-board grants by the Federal government to church-related grade and high schools, including funds for construction, are “equally in valid.” 3. Tuition payments for all church school pupils are in valid since they are the same as support for the school, even if they are given to parents or students. 4. Loans to church-related colleges, as part of a general program of college aid, would be constitutional. Grants may also be made, but they are more “constitutionally vulner able.” The principal type of aid left standing before this volley, the memorandum indicated, is that included in the 1958 National Defense Education Act which lends Federal money to private and parochial grade and. high schools to purchase equipment to assist in teaching science, mathematics and languages. “In what other directions this principle of special pur pose loans may be extended is difficult to ascertain,” the le gal stand said. “Typically sec ular and sectarian education is so interwoven in church schools as to thwart most pos sibilities.” The brief puts the admini stration clearly on the opposite side of the fence from Catholic spokesmen and some members of Congress who favor long term loans to private and pa rochial schools for construc tion. Representatives of the Na tional Catholic Welfare Con ference had appealed to Con gressional education subcom mittees to incorporate such a loan program in the admini stration’s proposals for $2.3 bil lion in grants for public school construction or teachers’ sala ries. The administration’s memo was sent to Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who had requested it in his capacity as chairman of the Senate education sub committee. In his comment, the Senator reaffirmed his belief that loans to private, nonprofit primary and secondary schools would be constitutional, providing they bear an interest rate which covers the cost of the money. He repeated his support of a bill to establish a loan pro gram separate from the ad ministration’s bill, which he is sponsoring in the Senate. He said the private school bill should provide for a quick court test on the constitution ality of loans. Abraham Ribicoff, Secretary of Health, Education and Wel fare, said in an accompanying letter (March 28) to Sen. Morse that the memorandum has been prepared in coopera tion with the Justice Depart ment. The principal proposal Con gress has been urged to con sider to aid private and paro chial schools has been a loan program ’ for construction Of this, the administration’s brief said loans are “a less substantial assistance to reli gion than outright grants, (but) we are persuaded . . . that this proposal is no less a form of support than grants and is equally prohibited by the Constitution.” Low-interest, across-the- board construction loans, it said, provide “measurable ec onomic benefit” to religious in stitutions. It then applied its test that Federal funds must be for a special purpose not closel-y re lated to religious instruction. It concluded: “. . . There is a total failure in this proposal to distinguish between those aspects of a school which are involved with religious teaching and those which may not be. This com bination of factors when ap plied to elementary and sec ondary schools places the pro posal beyond the limits of per missible assistance.” The brief held that across- the-board grants, or gifts, to church-related schools are for bidden by the First Amend ment to the Constitution as a support of religious activities. “Since no effort is made to earmark the funds for specific purposes, such a broad grant would inevitably facilitate the performance of the religious function of the school,” it said. Tuition payments, regardless of whether the government gives the funds to parents, child or school, are also un constitutional, the brief main tained. “They accomplish by indirection what grants do di rectly,” it said. Tuition payments were ad vocated before Congressional education subcommittees by spokesmen for Citizens for Ed ucational Freedom, a parents’ organization with St. Louis, Mo., headquarters. The administration upheld the constitutionality of its pro posals to lend funds to col leges, including church-related ones, for dormitory and class room construction. The constitutional principles are the same, the brief admit ted, but it held that “the fac tual circumstances surround ing the application of the prin- icples are dramatically differ ent.” The different circumstances, it indicated, include the fact that free public education is not available to all qualified college students, the fact that the connection between reli gion and education is less ap parent and religious “indoctri nation is less pervasive in a sectarian college” and the “disastrous national conse quences” which could result “from exclusion of, or discrim ination against,” certain pri- v a t e institutions on the grounds of religious connec tion. Of the administration’s pro posal to establish a program of Federal college scholarships and give a $350 “cost of edu cation” grant to each college where one of the scholarship holders enrolls, the administra tion said: “The payment to the institu tion is in reality merely a sup plement to the scholarship . . . “Tuitions vary among col leges owing both to cost differ entials and the size of endow ment and annual private or public subsidy, but invariably the cost of education exceeds the tuition charged. “It is to take account of this fact that the scholarship grant is supplemented by the cost- of-education allowance. In es sence, it . . . is subject to the student’s, not the govern ment’s, educational choice.” Keep a sharp look for elder ly pedestrians, particularly in bad weather and after dark, the AJlstate Safety Crusade suggests. Older people move more slowly, usually dress in darker clothing, judge speed and distance less accurately, and are more readily confused in traffic. ESTES SURGICAL SUPPLY CO.
