Father Bearing Up Well Too
Quadruplets Mother
Reported Doing Fine
Administration Brief
Says That Construction
Loans Unconstitutional
(N.C.W.C. 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.

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.
