RED . OUTH FESTIVAL FLOPS
Project Involves Gifted Students
Parental Reaction To Shared-Time
Proposal Being Sought In Pittsburgh
With most of the returns in from Helsinki, it looks as
though the communist-sponsored World Youth Festival held
this year in Finland was not worth the money it cost Mos
cow. Its propaganda value was greatly dulled by riots and
anti-communist demonstrations thoughout. In top photo,
festival opens with parade of nations at Helsinki’s Olympic
stadium. In lower photo, anti-Castro Cubans demonstrate
against Cuban communist delegation in front of the Finnish

Priest Asks If Publicity Given Abortion
Case Part Of Drive To Relax U.S. Laws
ARLINGTON, VA. - A priest
asked here if the wide publicity
given to die case of an Ameri
can woman who obtained an
abortion in Sweden is part of
a drive to relax U. S. abortion
laws.
Father John C. Knott, direc
tor of the Family Life Bureau
of the National Catholic Wel
fare Conference, asked the
question at a Christian Family
Movement convention (Aug. 17).
Father Knott said that a de
cision had been made to publi
cize the abortion plans of the
mother who said she took thali
domide early in her pregnancy.
The drug is believed to have
caused children to be born de
formed in Europe and Canada.
Asking why the abortion was
given publicity, he said: “Was
it to help other similarly af
flicted parents, as was alleged?
Or was this rather a test case
before the bar of present
American opinion to find out
whether the climate was right
for a change?
“Does it constitute a giant
step forward in a hitherto sub
tle and quiet underground cam
paign for the so-called liber
alization of our present abor
tion laws? Is it part of the
pattern to emotionally condi
tion the American people to
accept drastic changes in our
legal codes, so as to allow the
destruction of other deformed
life for similar humanitarian

reasons?”
Saying he did not have a
documented answer to the ques
tions he raised, Father Knott
told the Christian Family Move
ment couples: “I think the ques
tion at least should be asked
of this group of married cou
ples who are dedicated to a
quite different philosophy of
life and marriage.”

WASHINGTON, (NC) - The
Pittsburgh diocese is asking
parents for their reaction to a
major snared-time proposal in
Monroeville, a Pittsburgh sub
urb.
Msgr. John B. McDowell,

view here. Shared-time educa

Atonement
Former Prisoner
Leads Rites
HANOVER, Germany, (NC)
A bishop who was once an in
mate of the concentration camp
at Dachau led hundreds of his
fellow Catholics to the site of
the old nazi Bergan-Belsen
camp for a service of atone
ment for the crimes committed
during the Hitlerite era.
The (Aug. 24) ceremony was
part of the five-day national
Catholic convention here.
Bergan-Belsen, about 30 miles
from here was a place of living
hell for some 110,000 men of
many nationalities. About
51,000 did not leave the con
centration camp alive. Many
died of epidemics and starva
tion. Many others were murder
ed in cold blood.
Main feature of the atonement
ceremonies was the Mass of
fered in the memorial chapel
by Auxiliary Bishop Joseph
Buchkremer of Aachen. The
Bishop was an inmate at Dachau
when he was a priest. >~
The camp barracks were
burned to the ground after World
WaT Ilr But German Catholics
built there a memorial chapel,
the Church of the Precious
Blood.
Protestant-Catholic Relations In
Latin America Seen Improving
PARIS (NC)—An Anglican of
ficial of the World Council of
Churches told its 100-mem-
ber Central Committee that
“the new dialogue with the Ro
man Catholic Church is a ten
der plant which could be killed
by too much water as well as
by neglect.’ ”
The Rev. Patrick Campbell
Rodger, former pastor of an
Episcopalian church in Scot
land and now executive secre
tary of the World Council’s
Department of Faith and Order,
paid tribute to Catholic scholar
ship concerning the World
Council. Then he said:
“Have we for so long pro
tested against the exclusiveness
and isolation of Rome that we
now awake to find that it is we
who maintain the isolation
through our ignorance or incap
acity to enter into conversa
tion except at a somewhat
superficial level? . . .
“What place does the study of
Roman Catholic ecumenism
MSGR. JOHN E. KELLY,
director of the Bureau of In
formation, NCWC, received
the 1962 Communications
Award of the Religious Heri
tage of America. Director of
the bureau which serves as an
information and public rela
tions agency for the Church
in the U.S.
play within our churches and
theological faculties? The an
swer to that question is the
acid test of our professions of
goodwill before the opening of
the Second Vatical Council.”
Mr. Rodger held that “there
is a widespread feeling among
churches that the ‘scandal of
division’ of Christians requires
serious examination at both nat
ional and world levels.”
The Central Committee
meeting here also heard one of
its Argentinian members assert
that Catholics and Protestants
in Latin America are beginning
to make contact on a religious
basis.
The Rev. Rudolf Obermueller
of Buenos Aires said that Pro
testant and Catholic theological
professors in Buenos Aires
have been meeting in a quiet
unofficial way to exchange ideas
and for common Bible study
He said that in Sao Leopoldo,
Brazil, the professors of the
Jesuit college and of the Luther
an theological college are in
viting one another to lectures.
He also reported that a Cath
olic archbishop in Peru had in
vited some Protestant pastors
to his cathedral during a special
week of prayer.
“There are indeed hopeful
signs that the enmity which
was so bitter in quite recent
years in Columbia and Mex
ico will be overcome ecumen
ically,” Professor Obermul-
ler said. He stressed, however,
that Protestnats in Latih Amer
ica will be able to witness to
Christian unity only when they
have found it among themselves.

public schools.
He said parents are being
asked if they agree with plans
to allow some students from
Catholic high schools to at
tend some classes in the
brand-new Forbes Trail Area
Technical School in Monroe
ville. The technical school is
for gifted children and will
offer courses in electronics and
other sophisticated scientific
fields demanding expensive fac
ilities and highly qualified in
structors.
Msgr. McDowell said area
Catholic schools were invited to
send students by Dr. Alfred
Beattie, county school super
intendent. “We were delighted
to accept and have sent a letter
to parents to see if they share
our enthusiasm,” he said.
He added that the proposal
includes transporting the Cath
olic school students from the
public school nearest their own
institution to the Forbes Trail
school.
Msgr. McDowell said Pitts
burgh Catholic schools, which
enroll about 130,000 children
in 284 schools, have had a sup
erb relationship with public
schools. “It has been extra
ordinary, a wonderful working
relationship,’’ he said.
The Monsignor, a principal
backer in Catholic school cir
cles of shared-time schooling,
believes that statistics make
it necessary to discuss pro
posals to divide class time.
“Our goal of having every
Catholic child in a Catholic
school is no longer within
reach,” he said. “Despite the
tremendous growth of our
schools in the past 10 years,
only 50 per cent of our chil
dren are able to attend Cath
olic schools. As the nation con
tinues to grow and as the Cath
olic community grows with it,
the situtation will obviously
worsen.”
Msgr. McDowell thinks it is
better to have as many students
as possible receive Catholic
school instruction in value sub
jects, such as social studies,
than to have this education
given only to full-time Cath
olic school students, while other
Catholics in public schools
would get none.
He said the Forbes Trail ex
periment this fall is the only
major shared-time project in
his diocese. “There is nothing
else under active discussion at
the moment,” he said.
