Called "Medically Unsound F# CHICAGO, (NC) — Birth preventive measures are "medically unsound" be cause they are contrary to nature. Health Commission er Herbert Rainer of Oak Park, Ill., declared during a television debate here. The commissioner also as serted that experiences both in Russia and Japan have in dicated that widespread distri bution of birth preventive de vices have resulted in a sharp upswing in the number of abortions. Dr. Ratner debated with Dr. John Rock, 79, a gynecologist who directs the Rock Repro ductive Center near Bostop, on the “At Random” program televised by the National Broadcasting Company (Feb ruary 4). Philip Klutznick, an alier- naie on the U. S. Mission to the United Nations, was a third participant in the discussion.

ELMORE, Owner Formerly of Wieuca Shoe Rebuilders The trouble with many parts of the world, such as Africa," he said, "is that there aren't enough people —not that there are too many. One can't start with the proposition that there's a 'population explosion' be cause that isn't true in some places," Communists are making ‘great political capital” over the fact that some groups of U. S. citizens are proposing birth preventive measures for some of the underdeveloped countries, Klutznick said. The question of abortion came up , in the debate when Dr. Rock observed that Russia had sought to limit families 10 or 15 years ago. Commissioner Ratner re plied the Russian views on Planned Parenthood had changed radically after "a bitter 30 years." He said the Russians now have laws re garding divorce, contracep tives and abortion "which read like they were written in Rome." Dr. Rainer, a con vert to Catholicism, has been professor of preventive med icine at Cardinal Siriich School of Medicine here since 1949, in addition to his public health post. After Japan legalized and promoted contraception. Dr. Rainer said, there resulted "a tremendous increase in abortions." He added that this "was because the con traception measures so often fail." Klutznick, a lawyer who is chairman of the board of the American Community Builders of Chicago and former inter national president of the B’nai B’rith, said the economic as pect is ignored too frequently in discussions _ of limiting births. He said that aspect quite often is related to a piece of land. He declared: “The most overrated argu ments I have ever heard is that the most dire thing that can happen to the world is more people.” “Even if we eliminated half of the people in Asia, we would still have people starv ing,” Dr. Ratner said. “Pro motion of contraception is not going to solve the economic problem of poverty. “What we’re dealing with in this case is the family struc ture, which is the basis of human society. I don’t think you can deal with the family as merely some sort of num bers game,” he added.

Commissioner Ratner con tended the world is suffering from a shortage of people. "We need more people for the missions," he said, "both medical and missionary, in these lands. One of our prob lems is not getting rid of people, but getting people to these critical areas."

(NC Photos) Angola Stripped From Portugal Would Lead To Chaos Worse Than In Congo CLEVELAND (NC) — An observer of world affairs said here that chaos “worse than that of the Congo” could result if the rule of Portugal is with drawn from Angola. Richard Pattee, told a First Friday Club forum, Portugal is not defending an antiquated and obsolete system in Africa. “The Portuguese have been there for five centuries,” said Pattee. “They have created a civilized order in Angola and Mozambique. Today they are called to task by peoples who are hysterical against the vague and often meaningless term ‘colonialism’.” Pattee, who writes a syndi cated weekly column on world affairs for the NCWC Feature Service, stressed that in Ango la there has been no general protest against Portuguese rule. Pattee said that Portugal considers Angola a province “as legitimate as Hawaii is to the U. S., even if peopled by those of another race.” Pattee is a professor at La val University, Quebec, and is the author of a recent volume in Portuguese on the Angola problem. E. B. Rice & Co.

William B. Ball said the slogan represents “an ultra conservative approach” that does not attempt to solve so cial problems, “but to get rid of them by magic formulas.” Ball is executive director and general counsel of the Pennsylvania Catholic Welfare Committee. He is also one of the authors of the recent stu dy by the National Catholic Welfare Conference which held that Federal aid to the secular or neutral aspects of way for the demise of non state educational institutions,” he said. “The demise will be a sig nificant step away from our American tradition of harmo ny-in-diversity which we call intellectual and cultural plu ralism.” Patronize Our Advertisers CE 7-8694 • Free Inspection 2730 Piedmoni Road, N.

Msgr. Rich ard J. Gabel, pastor of St. Joseph Church, Tiffin, also spoke at the meeting on “The Philosophy of Catholic Educa tion.” Belief in “absolute” Church- State separation, Ball said, is behind the case before the U. S. Supreme Court alleging that non-compulsory recitation by public school children of a nondenominational prayer is unconstitutional. “Carried to its expectable limits,” he said, “it will get rid of chaplains in the armed services, police at church cor ners on Sundays and “In God We Trust” on all five-dent pieces . . .” The Founding Fathers, he said, “never intended that the people’s government should be blocked from lending any co operation to the realization of the most profound of the peo ple’s aspirations — the relig ious.” “Considered historically, the case for an absolute separation of Church and State must be dismissed,” he said. “The proof is to the contrary.” “It attacks freedom. This is because of its insistence upon giving to government a mo nopoly over education.
