sion to review the basic prin
ciples and goals, since funds
are sacred trusts; to investi
gate and discuss trends in con
temporary society which pre
sent challenges hitherto un
known; to learn from experts

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., (NC)—
In a surprising switch of sup
port, Illinois State Attorney
General William Clark has join
ed Benjamin Adamowski, un
successful Republican candid
ate for Chicago mayor, in a
suit seeking injunction to stop
the State’s controversial tax-
paid birth control program.
The Illinois Public Aid Com
mission, administrator of the
program, had expected Clark to
defend its activities in giving
birth control information and
contraceptives to unmarried
mothers and to married women
living apart from their hus
bands.
The program has already run
into opposition in the State Sen
ate, which almost unanimously
approved a bill (April 4) to
permit use of tax funds to sup
port a birth control program
only for women on relief who
are living with their husbands
and request state assistance.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Mor
gan M. Finley of Chicago, told
the Senators that the commis
sion’s original plan to finance
birth control for unmarried mo
thers and women living away
from their husbands would in
volve “the expenditure of pub
lic funds to foster, condone and

Msgr. Hochwalt recently has
been the principal spokesmen
for Catholic education before
Congressional committees stu
dying bills for Federal aid to
schools.
Father Kueng, professor and
dean of the theological faculty
at the University of Tuebingen,
Germany, will speak at the final
general session on April 19.
The public will be invited to
hear Father Kueng, a consultant
at the Second Vatican Council
who has attracted international
attention because of his propo
sals for Church reform and
Christian reunion.
The NCEA will pay special
tribute to the recently beatified
Mother Elizabeth Seton in a
special anniversary publica
tion to be given convention re
gistrants.
Mother Seton is praised in
the publication as the founder
of America’s parochial school
system. She opened a small
school in Baltimore after she
became a Catholic. This school
has flowered into the vast paro
chial school system of some five
million pupils.
“It was appropriate,” the
publication adds, “that the foun
der of America’s parochial
school system should, as a
growing child, be standing at
attention as the father of this
country took the presidential
oath.” As a child, Elizabeth
was taken by her father to see
George Washington assume of
fice.
The convention will have
three general sessions. In addi
tion to Msgr. Hochwalt and Fa
ther Kueng, a U. S. Labor De
partment official will address
the entire body of educators.
He is Undersecretary of La
bor John R. Henning who will
discuss “Challenges to Youth
Today—Schooling, Employ
ment, Behavior” on April 17.
Most of the convention will
be taken up by meetings of the
seven departments of the NCEA
and a host of affiliated organi
zations.
