Says ‘Outrage’ National Shame
Archbishop Closes
Bombed School
NEW ORLEANS, La.,—Arch
bishop John P. Cody has order
ed the closing of a Catholic
school at Buras, La., which
was heavily damaged by an ex
plosion and fire.
“To protect the lives of the
priests, Sisters and children of
Our Lady of Good Harbor par
ish, I can do nothing else,” the
archdiocese’s Apostolic Ad
ministrator said in a state
ment. He said it was “an out
rage that must be deplored by
every right thinking person.”
Three five gallon gasoline
cans, one still full of gasoline,
were found on the roof of the
school by state fire marshals,
indicating the explosion and fire
were planned deliberately.
The pastor of the parish, Fa
ther Christopher Schneider,
O.F.M., said investigators be
lieved that gasoline had been
poured through ventilators.
He said a burned path about
50 feet long led away from the
school. Apparently, he added,
the path was used as a fuse.
The priest reported that the
(Aug. 26) explosion blew out
two walls of one classroom and
blew blocks out of the wall of
an adjoining classroom. The
roofs above both rooms were
set afire.
Also cracked by the explo
sion were walls of the teachers’
lounge and two lavatories. The
section of the school damaged
was a new section built in 1961.
Father Schneider said that
nuns who staff the school re
ceived anonymous phone calls
during the afternoon (Aug. 26)
warning that the school would
be bombed.
Buras, along the banks of the
Mississippi river about 60
miles south of New Orleans, is
in Plaquemines parish (county).
Leander H. Perez, Sr., is poli
tical boss of the civil parish.
He was excommunicated from
the Catholic Church last year
for opposing orders to integrate
Catholic schools.
Schools of the Archdiocese
of New Orleans were first inte
grated last fall. The Buras
school was the first Catholic
school in the archdiocese to
open with integrated classes.
Several students attended
classes the first few days but
classes were then boycotted.
The school remained open daily
the rest of the school year but
no students showed up after the
first few days. It was scheduled
to reopen September 3.
During the past year window
panes in the rectory of Our
Lady of Good Harbor parish
have been shattered by shotgun
blasts. This last happened on
July 6.
“It is shocking to find in our
beloved America, a nation dedi
cated to freedom under God,
that the right of people to edu
cate their children freely as
they choose, in accordance with
proper educational standards
and with their own belief in God,
has been so grossly violated,”
Archbishop Cody stated.
“This hateful destruction of
school property places us in
shame before the nation and the
world,” he said. “It denies alike
our American ideals of demo
cracy, of brotherly relations
among peoples, and the reli
gious heritage that has been
the glory of Louisiana since
the beginning.
“I am certain this vicious
and cowardly attack does not
reflect the general feeling of
our people. It could have come
only from a pocket of hatred
and violence that has given rise
to othe r deplorable incidents
previously.”
HIS SCHOOL CLOSED. Father Christopher Schneider, pastor of Buras, La., examines
the damage to Our Lady of Good Harbor Catholic elementary school there. It was damag
ed by a gasoline explosion and fire. The school was boycotted last school year becuase
of orders to integrate.—(NC Photos)
TO BE DEDICATED—st. Martin de Porres Chapel, \mericus, will be dedicated
Sunday, September 8th, at 5 p.m. by Bishop Thomas J. McDonough. The chapel was
built in part by Confraternity of the Laity funds.

is about one and a half cents
American.
Who are the leaders in the
General Buddhist Association?
The ' titular head was an aged
■bonze, but the real leaders are
men in their thirties and for
ties, some of whom came from
north Vietnam in 1954, others
belonging to central Vietnam.
Some of the younger bonzes
have studied abroad—Thailand,
Ceylon, Japan or the U. S. They
have returned eager to assert
themselves and their group, re
senting the relative backward
ness of Buddhism here. Those
from the north and center ob
served and maybe learned com
munist organization methods
during the Indo-China war.
I have seen no proof that any
of these leading bonzes are
communists.
JOTTINGS-
(Continued from Page 2)
ideas for columns, along with
the grocery list, when thoughts
for either come.
* * *
THIS PLACE where I write
is the most ideal I’ve ever had.
There are some who say you
should never try to study or
work in a room in which there
is a bed, for drowsiness will
win out eventually. Yet it is
from the studio bed in the room
where I write from which I get
my best column ideas—awaken
ing in the morning or before
falling off to sleep at night,
ideas come and 1 get up and
record them on the desk pad.
I also get other ideas walking
to work, or on the bus or dur
ing Mass—is this distraction?
My best time for work is before
noontime, preferably early
morning. But my best time is
“nobly” given over to the office
routine and the typewriter in
early morning would disturb
the late sleepers in apart
ments nearby. The studio-room
where I write is in the back of
the house and the sounds of
Benefit Street traffic and play
ing children are muffled. . .but
it is hot this summer as the sun
comes streaming in during the
afternoon. One friend comment
ed sarcastically that the room
resembled a religious goods
store with the statues of the
Blessed Mother, Sacred Heart,
prominently displayed. On the
walls are pictures of my family,
friends, literary favorites;
there’s a ceramic crucifix over
the bed, a papal blessing, a
picture of Pope John, St. Brigid,
Tom Booley,'the Breastplate of
St. Patrick and an old-fashioned
holy water fount given me by a
nun hangs by the doorway and
before beginning a column I
douse myself liberally with the
blessed water to ask for inspi
ration.
What part have the commun
ists played in the recent agita
tion?
They have naturally tried to
get into the act and to profit
by manifesting sympathy with
the protesting Buddhists. There
is no evidence that they got con
trol.
The communists in north
Vietnam, where they persecute
all religions, have been piously
denouncing President Diem for
allegedly persecuting Budd
hists, Catholics and others in
the south.
Is the Catholic religion
something recent in Vietnam?
The Catholic religion had tak
en root here one century and a
half before the American Decla
ration of Independence, long
before French colonial power
was established here. It was
persecuted at intervals for
more than 200 years.
Why have Catholics beenpro-
minent in Vietnamese public
life in recent years?
Catholics have always made
greater efforts in the field of
education. Secondly, the domi
nant element in Vietnam’s ex
istence in the past nine years
has been the near and present
communist threat. Catholics
are admittedly more definitely
and militantly anticommunist
than any other section of the
population. Inevitably the gov
ernment has drawn heavily on
this source.
Have Catholics discriminated
against Buddhists in Vietnam?
Buddhists are enormously in
debted to Catholics here. For
generations Catholic schools,
hospitals and clinics have serv
ed Buddhists and others without
distinction. Catholic leprosaria
and emergency relief services
have given aid to non-Chris
tians of all kinds. Buddhists
have done nothing on a compa
rable scale for their own, much
less for their Catholic com
patriots.
Is President Ngo dinh Diem’s
government “unpopular and
corrupt?”
It cannot be called a corrupt
government though there is
corruption in it as there is in
most other Asian governments
and in many outside Asia.
The majority of the people
TERMITES
live in rural villages where
Saigon politics and Buddhist
demonstrations mean little in
everyday life. What matters to
them is security against the
communists first, then elemen
tary local facilities for educa
tion, water and so forth, and
from petty exactions.
The sophisticated city and
town dwellers have an impor
tance out of all proportion to
their relative numbers in the
population. Among them the
government has lost heavily
since the Buddhist agitation
started.
It is. not that they are all
fervent Buddhists. But the
Buddhist campaign gave them
an outlet for bottled-up resent
ment against housing shortages,
lack of freedom of expression,
arbitrary arrests, long deten
tions without trial and so forth.
Most of them feel that the
storming of the pagodas by se
curity men on August 21 was an
excessive measure against the
bonzes who, despite their recent
“passive resistance” activi
ties, enjoy a traditional reputa
tion for religious self restraint.
President Diem still has
great reserves of prestige not
possessed by all other members
of his family. Justly or unjustly,
his brothers here and his sis-
ter-in-law are unpopular. His
sister-in-law’s tactless utter
ances have been some of the
greatest obstacles to a timely
settlement of the Buddhist dis
pute.
No matter what their abili
ties may be or how much the
President has depended on his
relatives, he would be stronger
without them than with them.
They are more or a handicap
than he seems to realize. These
relatives of the President wield
great influence in spite of the
fact that the constitution of the
Republic of Vietnam gives them
no executive power.
Was Buddhist agitation pure
ly religious?
No. Certainly for more than
a month prior to the raids on
the pagodas, the movement had
the political aim of toppling the
government.
How did students get into the
recent agitation?
As far back as late May a
Buddhist student organization
in Hue was protesting. Police
action against demonstrating
students in Hue on June 3 in
flamed feelings there, but it
was only when Father Luan
was summarily dismissed on
August 16 from his post as
rector of the University of Hue
that agitation became general.
Hue and Saigon University pro
fessors and students joined in a
movement of general protest.
Catholics protested with Budd
hists and other non-Christians,
and the government acted
against all alike.

staging armed raids on the pa-
Pope Urges
Vietnamese
Seek Peace
CASTE LG ANDO LFO, (NC) —
His Holiness Pope Paul VI
has urged to Vietnamese peo
ple to re-establish peace among
themselves ‘‘in mutual respect
for legitimate liberties.”
The Pope sent his appeal to
the strife-torn nation through
Archbishop Paul Nguyen Van
Binh of Saigon. The message,
written in Frnech said:
“We judge it Our duty to
manifest Our anxious concern
over the painful events that
afflict the dear people of Viet
nam. The anguish becomes
deeper and more piercing daily,
as the bishops have said very
well in their fatherly declara
tion.
“Our hope nevertheless re
mains lively, for We have con
fidence in the sentiments of
goodness and of solidarity of
the Vietnamese people who have
given so many solid proofs of
their love of country, thereby
showing their will to preserve
its highest moral and spiri
tual values as well as all that
favors the common good.
“We express then the wish
that all, in generous coopera
tion and in mutual respect for
legitimate liberties, would
unite in reestablishing mutual
and fraternal concord. And We
raise fervent prayers to the
All Powerful in calling down
divine help on all the people
and on their free institutions.”
godas?
It is generally accepted that
the President’s brother, Ngo
dinh Nhu, who is also his chief
counsellor, planned and direct
ed the operation. The President,
however, took full responsibi
lity. Most of the top army men
were notified only shortly be
fore the action was taken.
What is the general conclu
sion?
Fourteen or 15 million people
in south Vietnam, including the
Catholics who fled from the
north, face their most critical
hour since 1954.
Augusta Knights
Of Columbus
To Hear Bishop
AUGUSTA—Bishop Thomas
J. McDonough will address the
Patrick Walsh Council Knights
of Columbus at a special meet
ing of the council.
The meeting is scheduled for
8:30 p.m. on Monday evening,
September 16th. John Meyers is
Grand Knight of the Augusta
Council.
Labor Day in America has
special significance for the Ca
tholic working man. The church
has chosen to honor the patron
of the laborer, St. Joseph the
Worker. For ages the church
has held up St. Joseph as the
model for heads of families
struggline to make a living. As>
a carpenter, he knew the hard
ships of toiling as a bread
winner. The downtrodden bur
dened worker has a really un
derstanding helper in St. Jo
seph. It is a shame that more
fathers are not in live com
munication with him. Daily con
versation and a “hot line” talk
with him in extreme difficulties
could be a distinct comfort and
very real benefit. Young men in
schooling or apprenticeship for
jobs would do well to begin the
habit of daily heeding the bibli
cal slogan, “Ite ad Joseph,” —
go to Joseph.
* * *
You may have heard of the
romantic teenager who daily
mistakenly addressed the pious
aspiration “Sweet Heart of Ma
ry, be my salvation” to St. Jo
seph, rather than the heart of
Mary.
* * *
A meditation on the breviary
on the feast commemorating
the Beheading of John the Bap
tist produced this facetious but
not irreverent thought. The mo
ther of Salome may have been
the first woman in Bible history
to have pushed her daughter too
early on the social swirl and
WELLMEIER
caused a man to loose his head.
It is only a short jump from
this event to the ill-prepared
immature girls of our day who
are confused by the social cus
toms of our day and unfortunate
ly lead equally emotially imma
ture young men to loose their
heads, figuratively speaking,
in the sense of morality. Though
no physical death is caused as in
the case of John the Baptist, yet
too often the spiritual death by
mortal sin is the result and all
because mama wants the under
grown young deb to be the hit of
the party, like Salome.
* * *
The date and place of the
annual CYO convention have not
been definitely decided. Our
Bishop’s absence from us to
attend the Vatican Council in
the fall necessitates some tem
porary indecision in the plans.
But it is not too early to think
of a theme for the convention.
On past years we have spotlight
ed careers, hobbies, speech and
poster contest, recreation pro
grams, and talent show. What
will the theme be this year?
That could depend on sug
gestions from the CYO mem
bers. We welcome any of the
young readers to drop a line to
the CYO office, Box 27, Savan
nah Beach, Georgia (Zip Code
31328). Your ideas may be
weighed and considered^ Parti
cularly, we would expect the
diocesan officers to come forth
with suggestions for a theme
appealing to their fellow CYO
members.
* * *
We still are eager to have
write-up of your parish club’s
past or future CYO activities
to publish in this column. Please
make them fairly short, as the,
editor cannot give us the en
tire back page, but only a few
colunns.
