Refugee Meeting Told Stateless Persons Confront 'Hurdle Course’ GENEVA, (NC)—A Caholic spokesman for nongovern mental organizations working in the field of refugee relief apnealed here for universcal justice for stateless refugees. The laws concerning recog nition of statelessness vary so much from country to coun try as to constitute an “Olymp ic hurdle course,” Jean J. Chenard told the executive committee for the Program for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Chenard, who is deputy Eu ropean director of Catholic re lief Services-National Cathol ic Welfare Conference, spoke (Nov. 10) in his capacity as president of the Standing Con ference of Voluntary Agenci es Working for Refugees. “In this period of the jet age,” Chenard said, “It would be hoped that a break-through will be found and that the principle of universal justice will prevail.” Chenard voiced the “deep satisfaction” of the voluntary agencies that the League of Red Cross Societies had agreed to continue cooperating with the U. N. High Commissioner in aiding Algerian refugees Bibb Distributing Company 1645 Seventh St. MACON, GA. SH. 6-8164 in Tunisia and Morocco. Before the Algerian refugee problem was “internationaliz ed’,’ he said, only one or two of the voluntary agencies were working in Morocco caring for 80,000 Algerian refugees. He noted that a number of the agencies are now working in behalf of poverty-stricken cit izens of Tunisia and Morocco. Last year, he . said, more than 900,000 Moroccans and Tunis ians were aided through vol untary agency feeding pro grams.” Chenard also stated, “We are pleased to note that the High Commissioner’s o f fi c e has started to deal with new ref ugee problems outside of Eur ope, for this is something which we of the voluntary agencies have been advocating for some time, whenever and wherever the opportunity arose.” He spoke in particular of the continuing work in be half of refugees from Tibet. “While we strongly believe that the job in Europe should be finished before embarking on a large-scale new refugee operation elsewhere, we would hope that older refugee prob lems outside of Europe will receive priority consideration. We have in mind here the re sidual European refugee prob lem in North Africa and the Middle East and the Chinese problem in the Far East.” MARRIAGES O O | ROLLISON-SMITH | O- O SAVANNAH — Miss Mary Janice Smith, daughter of Mrs. Lonnie Benjamin Smith and the late Mr. Smith and James Bryant Rollison, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Troy Rollison, were married at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, No vember 11th, Father Kevin Boland officiating. MONUMENT TO LATE POPE BARCELONIA, Spain, (NC) —A marble monument to the late Pope Pius XII has been dedicated in a public square here by Amleto Cardinal Ci- cognani, Papal Secretary of State. anized Society Will e ‘Antiseptic Monster’ WILMINGTON, Del., (NC) —A priest warned here that unless personal charity is practiced in urbanized society its members will come to re semble an “antiseptic mons ter.” Msgr. John J. Egan, director of the Chicago Archdiocesan Conservation Council, said the parish can play a key role in dispelling the depersonalized concept of charity. “Unless this pathological flight from personal relation ships in charity—in compas sion—is reversed, all will be in vain,” he told the Catholic Education Guildd of Ursuline Academy. “We shall create in the America of the next dec ade a monster—an antiseptic monster to be sure—but a monster just the same. We shall have. . . the ‘shapeless multitude’ of which Pope Pius XII warned in his Christmas message of 1944.” “In the same parish where a generous donation to Cath olic charaties collections is a rule,” Msgr. Egan continued, “it is possible for an aged in valid couple to live in squalor and loneliness for months, ev en years, without more than token attention from the par ish priest, and no attention at all from the parishioners. There is not at this time a real understanding of true com passion at the parish and neighborhood level.” He asserted that “no per son should be allowed to en ter a Catholic parish without being welcomed into the com munity, and personally intro duced into its pattern of life.” “The infirm and the aged, the lonely and the abandoned, must become the peculiar per sonal charge of the parishion ers,” said Father Egan. “Par ish organizations, long organ ized to preserve the saved, must now direct their atten tion to the exercise of person al compassion. ' “Pastors and parishioner alike must come to realize that anonymity and withdrawal is the symptom of a sick society, not the selfish desire to avoid the Sunday envelopes. They must realize that the function of the parish. . . is to seek out the poor and the lonely.” “If this beginning is made,” he stated, “it will transform a community, and a metropol is, and a nation. It will then be possible to speak of com munity responsibility; the broad outlines of a Christ-cen tered city will begin to emerge.” Communism CLEVELAND, (NC) The Cleveland public schools will expand its teaching about communism if the current Ohio law is repealed or chang ed, it was revealed here by Allen King, the school sys tem’s director of social stud ies. Repeal of the statute, which regulates and limits instruc tion about communism, was urged here last week in a res olution adopted by North Eastern Ohio Teachers Asso ciation. Section of the law under fire provides that schools must give instruction in geography, U. S. history, national, state and local governments before covering “social problems, ec onomics, foreign affairs, world government United Nations, socialism, and communism.” King pointed out that the intention of the law, passed in 1955, was good—in that its aim was to limit instruction about communism to mature Prelate lead ROME (NC) — The Italian press has reported the death of a Czechoslovak prelate who had been under arrest for more than 10 years for defying the nation’s communist rulers. Vatican authorities said they are unable to confirm the re ports of the death of Archbish op Josef Matocha of Olomouc, but have no reasqn to doubt them. Archbishop Matocha was placed under strict house ar rest by the Reds in 1950 after he refused to take an oath of loyalty to Czechoslovakia’s communist regime. He was guarded so closely, reports said, that a Red agent slept in his bedroom. The prelate was born in Pit- in, Czechoslovakia, on May 14, 1888. He studied for the priest hood at the Gregorian Univer sity in Rome, where he was ordained in 1914. He was nam ed Archbishop of Olomouc in 1948. Parochial School System Praised ALTOONA, Pa., (NC) — The Altoona Chamber of Com merce expressed appreciation for outstanding leadership in the parochial school system of this area. In a statement issued during American Education Week, the chamber said: “The parochial school system has demonstrat ed great progress in personal leadership and dedicated teachers and administrators, and their plant facilities in the Altoona area had been im proved and modernized to a marked degree. Since 1950 in that city, 34 new classrooms have been constructed and three new buildings erected.” Special commendation was given to the late Bishops Rich ard T. Guilfoyle and Howard J. Carroll, and the present Or dinary, Bishop J. Carroll Mc Cormick, in providing leader ship for this community achievement. students who had acquired a certain foundation in other subjects. But, he added, the existence of the law makes it difficult for a teacher to do his job and asked: “How can we teach history without going into economics and foreign afairs?” He said students now are not supposed to be taught about communism until the 12th grade. He conceded that many teachers probably ignore the law but pointed out that as long as it is on the books the teacher or school system is in danger of a law suit. He added: “None of us want that. We try to teach obedience to the law and we ought to be an example for our students.” He agreed that public schools, because of the deli cate line they must walk in touching on religion, might find it difficult to teach about the philosophy of com munism, but added: “We would not hesitate to call it a materialistic philoso phy which denies the basic rights of the individual. We could teach students to know who the enemy is, what he is, and what he has done. “We would use articles and pamphlets by Catholics, Prot estants, and Jews on the sub ject—so long as they did not promote a particular religion.” King added that his office now is gathering material for a more expanded instruction program and among the sourc es of information are the Workshop on Communism at St. Louis University and the John Carroll Institute for So viet and Eastern European Studies. Two More Catholic Missionaries Ousted From The Sudan, Where Church Is Suffering Persecution (NCWC News Service) KAMPILA, Uganda — Two Catholic missionaries have been expelled from the neigh boring Sudan, where the Church is being persecuted, ac cording to reports reaching here. Father Michael Ros-ato, F.S.C.J., and Brother John Zu- kelli, F.S.C.J., were ordered to leave the country on 24- hours’ notice. No reason was given for their expulsion (Nov. 7), reports here said. The ouster of the two Vero na missioners by the Sudanese government is the latest of many expulsions. During Octo ber, a Dutch priest, an Italian Sister and an American Protes tant missionary were ordered out of the country. The Church has suffered persecution in the Sudan since it won independence in 1956. Church schools in southern Sudan were confiscated by the government in 1957. In addi tion to the expulsion of mis sioners, no new ones are al lowed into the country. No new religious buildings may be erected. Since August, no missioners have been al lowed to leave the grounds of his mission without permission of a district commissioner. Mis sioners are only rarely allow ed to visit people who are gravely ill. Catholic parents must apply in writing to the police for per mission to have their children baptized. No new catechetical centers may be set up, and those already in existence have been declared “national schools” entirely subject to the Ministry of Education.
