f t PAGE 2—The Southern Cross, August 29, 1963 Delegate To Enthrone New Bishop PASSAIC, N. J. (NC)—The Apostolic Delegate will en throne the first bishop of the newly created Byzantine Rite Eparchy of Passaic on Septem ber 10. Minneapolis-born Bishop Ko- cisko has been serving since 1956 as Auxiliary Bishop of the Pittsburgh Byzantine Rite Ex archate, formerly the sole ec clesiastical division for the nearly 300,000 members of the rite in the United States. The Pittsburgh exarchate, which held mission status in the eyes of the Church, was founded in 1924. On July 31, when the Passaic See was established and Bishop Kocisko named as its head, Pittsburgh also was made an eparchy, giving the rite two regular dioceses in the nation. Bishop Kocisko was ordained In Rome in 1941. He served as pastor of St. Stephen’s Church in Detroit from 1941 to 1947. He also served at St. John’s Church, Lyndora, Pa. From 1949 until 1956 he taught at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, Pittsburgh, and held diocesan posts. Very Rev. Lawrence F. Lyons, S.S.E., alumnus of St. Michael’s College, staffed by the Edmunite Fathers at Winooski Park, Vt., will head the first group of the order’s missionaries to go to South America. A native of Pittsfield, Mass., and super ior of St. Edmund’s Semin ary, Burlington, Vt., he has been assigned to Caracas, Venezuela. The Edmunite Fathers are observing their 120th anniversary as mis sionaries and have staffed Negro missions in the South for the past 25 years. (NC Photos) Education Seen As Solution Of Race Situation MILWAUKEE, (NC) — A Ca tholic bishop advocated here that education be preferred over demonstrations and violence in working for a solution of the race crisis. Bishop Charles P. Greco of Alexandria, La., Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Col umbus, said education should be conducted on a two-way street. In an interview during the K. of C. Supreme’ Council annual convention (Aug. 17 to 21) here, the Bishop said he had recom mended education and a change in attitude toward racial segre gation in a recent (August 4) pastoral read in all churches in his diocese. 1710 BULL MURPHY’S RADIO & TV SERVICE FAST SERVICE - FAIR CHARGES Pick Up And Delivery AD 3-0985 Chatham Typewriter Co j Cash Registers - Adding Machines Typewriters J New and Used Reconditioned 317.

A Good Address in Atlanta the pastoral he urged that the education be dispensed for both whites and Negroes. He stress ed: “The white man has to be convinced that the Negro is a child of God and a fellow citizen with equal rights, and therefore, we have to treat him as such.” He added that the Negro has to be educated to “elevate him self so that he can merit ac ceptance as did other people and nationalities in the course of the development of our Amer ican nation.” Bishop Greco said there are several interreligious and interracial groups in Shreve port, La., largest city in his diocese, “which are aware of the disturbances becoming de veloped everywhere.” “These groups discuss and work out the problems and the possibilities of having business people and civic leaders agree to give rights to the Negro,” he said. The Bishop said his pastoral had been well received. He said it was the first pastoral devoted to the racial problem and “I felt my people were ready for some major directive.” Bishop Greco heads a diocese which has 85,000 Catholics in a total population of more than one million persons. He estim ated the Catholic population in cludes about 9,000 Negroes. None of the parochial schools in his diocese are integrated. Negro children in Catholic seg regated schools number 3,000 out of the total 12,000parochial school population. “I had planned for sometime to give a directive to the people of my diocese so that they form attitudes regarding social ques tions that concern us today,” he said, referring to thepastor- al letter. Bishop Greco said he “want ed to give a background of the past, explaining how the attitudes of our own people as well as others came into being.” He said the "present genera tion had nothing to do with these attitudes .

Of C. Supreme Council Reaffirms Support Of Equal Federal School Legislation MILWAUKEE, Wis., (NC)— The Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus reaffirm ed here its appeal that F ederal aid to education proposals should have equal benefits for all school children. Readopting a resolution from its 1962 Boston convention, the supreme council said the Fed eral Constitution permits aid to private, nonprofit schools in proportion to the public function they perform. It said benefits may be given as matching grants or long term loans to institutions, the providing of jtextbooks and non religious equipment, scholar ships, tuition payments, tax benefits or in some otherform. In other resolutions, the su preme council of the fraternal benefit society of Catholic men called for passage of a Senate bill to make Columbus Day a national legal holiday; urged a Christmas stamp symbolizing the Nativity; encouraged local councils to combat obscene lit erature and movies and reaf firmed its support of the words, “under God,” in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The words, originally included largely through efforts of the Knights, face a legal attack. The supreme council also urged local councils to arrange for the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance on radio and tele vision stations on the Fourth of July. President Kennedy, in a mes sage to the convention, said that the Knights have "a very im portant part” to play in the "common task” of the nation to extend “equal opportunity and full and unimpaired rights for all our citizens.” The Chief Executive said: "The Knights of Columbus have always been active in the unending struggle to preserve our free institutions and to ex tend the boundaries of human justice. "We are living at a time when it is most urgent for every American to pledge anew his ’devotion to the fundamental principles which have sustained this nation. Our deeds in the days ahead in extending equal opportunity 'and full and unim paired rights for all our citi zens will do much to reveal our heart and conscience. “The Knights of Columbus, who play an important part in the spiritual and civic life of communities throughout this country, have a very important part to play in this great com mon task.” His Holiness Pope Paul VI sent a message in which he praised the "zeal, generosity and industry of the Knights of Protestant-Catholic Statements ROCHESTER, N.Y. (NC) — A president of the World Coun cil of Churches suggested here that Protestants and Catholics issue joint declarations in the social justice sphere. “There is no reason why Catholics cannot join Protest ants in pronouncements on such items as a test ban.treaty and certain social questions,” said Dr. David G. Moses, who is also president of the Asian Christian Churches. Dr. Moses made the statement here prior to the opening (Aug. 26) of a policy meeting of the council’s cen tral committee. He said, however, that "the ologically it will be very diffi cult for Protestants and Catho lics to come together without modification of some of their views on fundamentals.” Dr. Moses also said the most significant development leading toward Christian unity has been the new attitude of the Catholic Church since the reign of John XXIII. uation then,” he noted. The diocese has two Negro diocesan priests who work am ong colored people, Bishop Gre co said. Most of the other Ne gro parishes are served by priests of religious communi ties, he said. Bishop Greco said none of the public schools located in the diocese are integrated. He said demonstrations have not been held to any large extent, "but they are starting in business places in Shreveport.” Bishop Greco estimated there are some 10,000 Negroes who are members of the K. of C., which has a total membership of more than one million.

"You are called upon to make God real, to live the Faith and to make yourself another By Father John P. Foley (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) PHILADELPHI A—Christ comes to downtown Philadelphia every Saturday morning when members of the Catholic Infor mation Center’s Legion of Mary set up their book barrow at one of the city’s busiest intersec tions. The Legion of Mary, a lay apostolic group which aims at direct spiritual contact with souls, usually specializes in the work of house-to-house visita tion. The “downtown legion aries,” however, bring Christ to the marketplace in their contacts with Saturday shoppers and tourists at the corner of Philadelphia’s Broad and Chestnut Streets. The book barrow, an apostolic instrument developed by Irish Catholic Actionists, is a porta ble book and pamphlet rack of Catholic literature designed to inform Catholics and non- Catholics alike of the Church’s teachings. The legionaries report that their "customers” at the book barrow include the curuous, the troubled, and many sincerely interested inquirers. "Aren’t you embarrassed,” asked one lady, "talking about God in the middle of Broad Street?” Others express pleasant sur prise that Catholics are emulat ing the "street corner aposto- late” of the Pentecostal sects. In their first 10 months of religious contacts with the "man on the street,” the le gionaries report 1,260 conver sations with passers-by—in cluding 789 Catholics and 581 non-Catholics of varying shades of belief and disbelief. Less than one per cent of those they approach have been hostile, the legionaries state. Much of the good will, they feel, is attributable to the warm cli mate of ecumenism fostered by the late Pope John XXIII. Questions the legionaries meet range from the Catholic position on birth control to the nature and value of confes sion. Many inquiries are made regarding devotion to the Bless ed Mother. The legionaries, however, do not wait for inquirers to come to them. Window shoppers and others in no apparent hurry are approached with the disarming introduction, "May we talk with you for a few moments? We are Catholics and members of Christ. "You must recognize the de mands and you cannot fail to meet the opportunity. Do not rest on the laurels you have accumulated, but take time now for a new look at self and work and evaluate it.” In elections to the board of directors, Supreme Knight Luke •E. Hart and five others were unanimously reelected. The others are: Francis Fauteux of Montreal; Charles J. Morgan of Chicago; Henry J. Kondrat of the Legion of Mary.” The conversation which fol lows is always courteous and notable for the absence of con troversy. The legionaries are instructed to terminate the con versation graciously atthefirst sign of annoyance or argument. Pat On Back For SAN FRANCISCO, (NC) — A pat on the back for the "tremendous job” being done by Father Patrick O’Connor, Society of St. Columban, in cov ering the critical situation in Vietnam for the N.C.W.C. News Service came from an over seas director for Catholic Re lief Services—National Catho lic Welfare Conference. Father Paul J. Duchesne, Cleveland; Wilfred T. Connel ly of Detroit and Emmett Burke of Yonkers, N. Y. Newly elected to the board by a unanimous vote was Virgil C. Dechant of La Crosse, Kan. The Supreme Officer, to serve for a one-year term, will be elected at the October meet ing of the board in NewYork City. Hard announced that the 82nd annual convention of the Su preme Council will be held next August in New Orleans. Frequently, the legionaries will be asked for literature or for a Catholic sacramental—a rosary, a crucifix or a medal. Nearly 170 booklets on some, phase of Catholic teaching have been distributed through such “contacts for Christ.” Fr. O’Connor M. M.f director ofCRS—NCWC operations in Vietnam, in a let ter to the Monitor, San Fran cisco archdiocesan newspaper, wrote: “Father Patrick O’Conner lives with me.

(NC Photos) ft t r To Study For Priesthood “Monk” Malloy Forsakes Basketball By Bill Ring (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) WASHINGTON, — A decade or so ago young Ed (Monk) Malloy began dribbling a bas ketball adeptly and his dad started dreaming of the day his son would play in pro ranks. Well, young Malloy is now headed for the big league—but not the one the elder Edward A. Malloy envisioned. Come mid-September and young Ma lloy heads back to the Univer sity of Notre Dame, where he was graduated in June, to enroll in the seminary and begin stu dies for the Holy Cross priest hood. Young Malloy had all the equipment for the pro basket ball ranks, but at Notre Dame, where he was on the varsityfor three years, he came to appre ciate that the world is more than a large, round ball and there’s a dearth of priests and missioners serving its people. In sweat-drenched, green shirt, labeled "Dailey’s Res taurant,” Malloy talked of such things at the half of a summer league basketball game. The "Dailey’s” were battling the "Jake’s All Stars.” The team names were deceptive, but the players were college and former college athletes staying in shape during the summer months—fellows like foot ballers Jon Morris and John Dugan of Holy Cross, Ok lahoma’s Johnny Flynn and the brothers Feldman of George Washington. Malloy disclosed he was just back from a three-month stint with a half-dozen other Notre Dame students serving as lay missioners in Peru. He said: "We did a little bit of every thing — teaching, coaching, helping to build roads and hou ses, just about anything we could to help. We had headquarters in Lima, but went to places all over the country where we were needed.” His compassion was showing when he stressed it’s one of those must-be-seen-to-be be lieved situations, the vast amount of good a few trained men can accomplish. He con tinued: “And those people are wonderful—simple, kind, eager to learn, so appreciative of things done for them. It’s heart breaking to see them and heart breaking too, to realize all the help they need from lay mis sioners, priests, doctors and all sorts of technicians.” It wasn’t Malloy’s first tour as a lay missioner. He served with a Notre Dame group during last summer’s vacation in Mexico. In a way the basketball court was "Monk” Malloy’s first mission field. A boyhood pal and playmate was a young Ne gro named George Leftwich. When Malloy went to Archbishop Carroll High School here and starred on the school basketball teams in the late 1950s, George Leftwich followed. The Carroll teams were rated among the top Bogus K. C. Oath WILSON, N. C., (NC)— A Baptist preacher and a North Carolina woman will be the defendants in a $100,000 libel suit that opens in the Federal courts here September 9. The Knights of Columbus brought the action against Rev. Donald R. Bryan, pastor of the Central Baptist Church in Farmville, and Ruth J. Timby of Eureka. The suit charges tha the pair distributed anti-Catholic lit erature during the 1960 presi dential campaign. It alleges that Ruth Timby had 25,000 pamphlets printed with the bogus Knights of Co lumbus oaths and that Rev. Bryan distributed copies. high school squads in the na tion. In 1959, Malloy's senioryear at Carroll, young Leftwich came into the Catholic Church. "Monk” Malloy’s parents are Leftwich’s godparents. Left wich said it was Malloy’s fine example which led him to the Catholic Faith. Leftwich went to Villanova (Pa.) University. Last year he injured his leg in an automo bile mishap. The injury, for a time, threatened to end his pro mising basketball career. But with pluck, perseverance, and prayer, Leftwich regained his good deceptive moves. He’ll •head back in September to Villanova to take up for two years where he left off. He left off in the estimation of Villanova Coach A1 Kraft as “one of the best backcourt men in college basketball.” MARRIAGES ROACH-VERONEE SAVANNAH—Miss Diane Marie Veronee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Joseph Vero nee, and John Philip Roach Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John Philip Roach Sr., were married at a nuptial mass held on August 24th in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
