Federal Aid To Education Hearings Continue In Congressional Committee WASHINGTON -NC The House Education Committee will divide into three subcom mittees for more hearings on President Kennedy's omnibus bill for aid to education. This decision reportedly was made in a closed meeting of the committee (Feb. 28) in order to get more detailed testimony on each of the 24 programs in the President’s big proposal.

THE PAST three weeks of hearings were designed chiefly to receive opinion on whether the bill should be kept in its present form or separated into several measures. It will be kept as one bill. Despite the committee’s in tention, the sessions continually veered onto the question of including church - related and other private elementary and secondary schools in the bill. At present, these schools are out. Public schools, however, would be given $1.5 billion in four years for "selective and urgent improvement.’’ The absence of aid to private education undoubtedly will be discussed more intensely when subcommittee hearings begin. Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt, director of the education de partment of the National Catho lic Welfare Conference, has told the committee he is prepaired to return. NOTING in his recent testi mony that witnesses were limit ed to ten-minute statements, the Monsignor said this was not time for a "complete eval uation” of legislation "of such importance to education and of such serious implications to millions of citizens." “I assume,” he said, "there will be subcommittee hearings which will provide adequate op portunity for a full present ation." The script for participants in future hearings on the subject was clearly outlined in the earl ier sessions. The NCWC, the Citizens for Educational Freedom and one or two others, chiefly repre sentatives of the booming Jew ish parochial school movement, will urge equal consideration for private elementary and se condary schools. IT IS possible that the argu ments of private school supporters will be backed by others, perhaps some labor re presentatives and the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People.

A NAACP spokesman has told the House Committee his organi zation does not oppose Federal assistance to private schools which have outlawed racial se gregation. Opposed to them will be a formidable array. Led by the 816,000-member National Edu cation Association, it will in clude the Council of Chief State School Officers, the American Association of School Admini strators, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, the National Council of Churches of Christ, the U.S. Office of Education and some fringe groups such as Protestant and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State. THE COMMITTEE’S reaction to the sharp division of opinion appears to be uncertainity. One sign of this is that the sub committee which will work on the proposal for grade and high school aid has put the matter aside and begun hearings on the President’s proposal for a youth conservation corps and a youth employment program. In sharp contrast to the firm stands on the elementary and secondary level, there is no similiar hardness about part icipation of church-related col leges In Federal aid. They are treated equally with public colleges and universities in the proposal before the committee. The spokesman for the Nat ional Council of Churches, for example, told the committee that the federation of Protest ant and Orthodox churches has no stand on the question of government aid to church- related colleges. However, on aid to church- related grade and high schools, the council.has adopted formal stands against any aid to the schoo.s themselves, to their pupils or to the parents of their pupils. THE NEA, unalterably op posed to aid to private educat ion on the elementary and se condary level, nevertheless said it would support the administration’s proposal for equal treatment of colleges if it is kept in an omnibus bill. The Kennedy administration has vigorously defended the right of all types of colleges to share in its proposal, arguing that there exists a lengthy hist ory of U.S. assistance to church - related and other private institutions of higher education. The American Council on Education, principal spokesman for American colleges and uni versities, also had defended participation of all colleges, citing the nation's tradition of diversity in higher education. THERE HAS been no Senate action on education aid. Bog ged down for weeks in debate over its rules, the Senate only recently has organized its com mittees. No public announce ment has been made when its education subcommittee will begin public hearings. When hearings are held, it is likely that the Senate com mittee will take no formal act ion on the bill until it is clear how the House plans to handle the measure. Senate leaders, confident of Senate approval of legislation backed by its education com mittee, reportedly do not want to pass a bill which differs so drastically from the House ver sion that compromise agree ments cannot be reached. The three House subcommit tees which will hear additional testimony are: "general edu cation,” element— se condary schools, headed by Rep. Carl D. Perkins of Kentucky: "special education,” colleges and universities, headed by Rep. Edith Green of Oregon; and "select education,” vocational and miscellaneous education, Rep. John H. Dent of Pennsyl vania. METHODIST BISHOP Vatican Council Is Important Century Most Event 185 Chtrokoo Rd. Phono: HE 5-3201 Smyrna, Georgia JOHNSTOWN, Pa. -NC A Methodist bishop evaluated the Second Vatican Council as "the most important and most out standing world event in this century.” Bishop Fred Pierce Corson of Philadelphia, president, of the World Methodist Council, told the Johnstown Catholic Forum that His Holiness Pope John XXIII "has the common touch, an instinct for the right thing” and is a realist. "I CAN’T help but believe that God is using him to bring men and women of all faiths to recognize the primacy of God, and to an organic expres sion of faith that all of us have in Christ, our Saviour,” Bishop Corson, an observer at the council, said. The Methodist leader said had he been asked five years ago "if such a council could take place and if Protestants would serve as observers, I would have said, ‘We will ne - ver see it In our day/ ” He added a belief that the council and its observation by Ortho dox and Protestant represent atives is the work of the Holy Spirit. ”1 think that on the merits of its place in history, the council is the most important and most outstanding world event in this century,” Bishop Corson continued. "At no time has there been a response to the council. The common man recognizes that the world pro blems basically are spiritual and will not be solved until we find a way to God.” BISHOP Corson said that aside from the work of the council, Protestants were Im pressed by their reception by the Pope and the Catholic bis ops and clergy. “Observers have a place nearest to the Pope,” Bishop Corson explained. "During the sessions, we sat in the front of St. Peter’s and there was no one between us and the Holy Father. We could see the move- St. Pius High Peter C. White, Executive Secretary of Education For Freedom in Atlanta will address the Saint Plus X Home & School Association on Monday, March 18 at 8 P.M. in the School Cafe- torium. ment of his face, watch his ex pression as he listened and wat ched.” Every effort was made to have the Protestant observers understand the meetings con ducted in Latin, Bishop Corson said. “Our reception In Rome has done much good, for now we can tell our people of the rapport that can exist if we follow the example of the Holy Father,” he continued. "Pope John has opened the door to take us all out of our Isolation,” Bishop Corson said. "Under the Holy Father’s di rection, the way has come to know each other better....The word that the Pope uses in referring to us (Protestants) _ ‘separated brethren*— car ries a great connotation of that open door." The council is a declaration of war against the forces op posing the Christian church- secularism, materialism and atheism, he declared. "If we’re going to save this world, we’ve got to find a way to put aside Rome Altar Society The regular monthly meeting of St. Mary’s Altar Society, Rome was held Monday Morn ing, March 4th at the Rectory. Mrs. B. W. Willis, president, presided. The visiting committee re ported that 13 visits had been made to the sick. Members of the Altar Society made 168 Cancer pads for the Cancer Society during the past month. It was announced that Mrs. Clifton Bagwell had donated the material used In making new covers for the church to be used during Holy Week. Mrs. Battle, Sacristan, asked for volunteers to do special cleaning in preparation for Easter. Those who can come are to meet at the church Thurs day morning March 28. Following the meeting a Social hour and light lunch was held. The hostesses were Mrs. Robert Brierly and Mrs. Lee Battle. MARIST WRESTJuERS GET INTO SHAPE . . . Steve Kelly, the winner? WRESTLING HONOR Marist Grapplers Fight 4th In State our irritations and prejudices and unify to fight our common enemies,” he added. Bishop Corson said: "There are many kinds of unity. Spirit ual unity makes us brethren even though separated, and or ganic unity makes us one in the Mystical Body of Christ.” Referring to the publicized cleavage between liberal and conservative elements of the Catholic Church during the council, Bishop Corson said that the differences "evidence the freedom within that Church. Those outside have a tendency to think that the Church is autocratic. That's the point that is missed.” Bishop Corson said he asked the Pope for the secret of his long and actively strenuous life. He continued: "THE POPE said that his secret is in the third book, the 23rd chapter of Thomas a Kempls. Four points are listed there. ‘Endeavor to do the will of another rather than your own; choose to have less rather than more; seek the lowest place rather than the highest, and continue to wish and pray that the will of God may be fulfilled in you.' Competing in the shadow of their taller basketball brethe- ren, the Marist grapplers raised many eyebrows late last month. The unheralded Cadets fought their way to a fourth- place finish in the State Wrest ling Tournament at Cross Keys High School. They were topped only by perennial powers Briar- cliff and Avondale and host Cross Keys. Scotty McCord copped in dividual performance honors for the Blue and Gold. He won the championship in the heavy weight category. This is the talented matman’s second con secutive State win. Last year, he defeated all opponents in the 191-pound class. WITH fifth-place finishes in their respective divisions, Eddie Dyer, Jack Banbury, John Vilece, and Steve Kelly added valuable points to the Marist effort. .Also contributing to the Cadet cause was David James, who took sixth in his weight category. Earlier in the season, the mat contingent stormed to second place in the Fulton County In vitational Wrestling Tourna ment. The team accounted for four first - places, a tourney high. Steve Kelly, Scotty McCord, Eddie Dyer, and Jack Banbury were the individual victors. Dominated by underclass men, the squad will return several experienced grapplers for competition next year. Coach Don Shea warns that the outlook for the 63-64 season • should be bright for the Cadets, ‘ and dim for future opponents. Pope To Appeal VATICAN CITY (NC)— Pope John XXIII will make a special radio broadcast March 14 In support of the ‘‘Freedom from Hunger Week” sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organi zation of the United Nations (FAO). The Pope will speak in French in behalf of the appeal. AND CRITICS Cardinal Scores Unintelligible Art MILAN, Italy (NC)— Giov anni Cardinal Montini has taken a swipe at unintelligible modern art and its still less intelligible critics. At the same time he urged artists who put their work at the service of the Church to make it understandable so that people "may be stirred spirit ually.” He said: "Be in genuine com munion with Christian spirit uality and worship, and then do as you please. THE ARCHBISHOP of Milan was addressing delegates of the Catholic Association of Ital ian Artists who were holding a national congress In Milan. He asserted that artics "seem to have abandoned he idea of producing works wlch are intelligible.” Critics in turn ‘‘uselanaage that requires a special 'now- ledge in order to understand the meaning."
