U. N. 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

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.”

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.
