It was also re ported that Premier Khrush chev may visit Rome at the end of June at the. invitation of the Italian government. Former Italian President Gio vanni Cronchl accepted an in vitation to visit the Soviet Union in 1961.

LEAVING the audience with the Pope, Adzhubei appeared deeply moved and his wife, Rada, who had accompanied him, had tears in her eyes. The Soviet editor was also accompanied during his 15-min ute visit (March 7) with Pope John by a Russian priest, Father Alexander Kulik, who served as interpreter for Russian Ortho dox observers at the first ses sion of the ecumenical council.

Jan G.M. Willebrands, secretary of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, and Father Kulik. WHILE Italian and other foreign journalists waited in Conslstorial Hall for the general audience to begin, Adz- hubei's party waited in an ad joining room. When the Pope entered the Conslstorial Hall, the Soviet party was taken in by another door. Following the general audi ence, newsmen asked Adzhubei to give his impressions of the Pontiff. He replied that the Pope had given a beautiful speech and that he had been greatly im pressed by him. Adzhubei and those accom panying him were then escorted out of the hall through the en trance leading to the Pope's private apartment for a visit with the Pontiff. • THE DAY before the audi ence, Adzhubei had been a guest at a luncheon given for him by the Foreign Press Association of Rome. During an informal press conference following the lun cheon, he called himself rn atheist who believes in a "new religion—peace." Then asked whether Premier Khrushchev will come to Italy, he answer-' ed: "Man proposes, God dis poses." A journalist pointed out that the Vatican City daily, L'Os- servatore Romano, had recent ly published an article on the possibility of reestablishing Vatican City State consulates in countries without’ diplomatic ties to the Holy. See. He was asked if he thought it is a good idea to set up Vatican-Soviet relations on a consular basis. Adzhubei replied that this is unlikely but that anything is possible. He added that he thinks it is a good idea. Another questioner noted that books published in the U.S. had called Russia responsible for the World War II massacre of 10,000 Polish officers at Katyn. He answered that Ger man Nazis were to blame, HARD DECISION FOR PEACE PLEA ARCHBISHOP Paul J. Hallinan was recently the main speaker at a meeting of the Atlanta Chapter of The American Jewish Congress. Shown with him are left to right, David Goldwasser, retiring Chairman Atlanta Chapter, Elliot Haas, Chairman Atlanta annual dinner, and Cecil A. Alexander, newly elected Chairman Atlanta Chapter. CONTRASTING VIEWS Interfaith Editors Give Religion-Education Airing NEW YORK (NC)—Contrast ing views on relations between religion and education were presented by Catholic, Protes tant and Jewish editors at an interreligious institute here. Convoked by the Religious Freedom and Public Affairs project of the National Con ference of Christians and Jews, the institute brought together editors of church publications for three days of discussion of the theme "'Hie Religious Press in a Pluralistic Society." Msgr. Daniel Moore, editor of the St. Louis Review, St. Louis archdiocesan newspaper, cau tioned religious editors against drawing the "battle lines" in the Federal aid to education controversy ".strictly along the religious lines," MSGR. MOORE cited a re cent Gallup Poll, in which 49 per cent of those interviewed favored Federal aid to private education, as evidence "that this is not a Catholic-versus- Protestant nor a Catholic-ver- sus-Jew controversy/* He said editors, in present ing the Federal education aid Papal Volunteering Isn’t An Easy Life PATERSON, N. J„ (NC)— The decision to become a Papal Volunteer for Latin America isn't an easy one to make—es pecially if you have a good job and many material comforts. "It took long days and nights of thinking," in the case of Marie Hiozzo, a nurse who has just completed a four-month training course at the Center of Intercultural Formation in Cu ernavaca, Mexico. MISS TUozzo, who worked in a doctor's office for 17 years, said she had "an excellent pay ing Job" and her own car. "I love good times and beautiful clothes," she stated. "I knew what it would mean to give it all up and live on $10 a week". She said that thoughts of mis sion service first came to her during a pilgrimage she took to Jerusalem in 1961. She spoke to the pilgrimage chaplain, Msgr. Fenton Runge of St. Louis. In a letter he sent her. later, Msgr. Runge called attention to the need for nurses in Latin Ame rica. "I guess that was when I was awakened by the Holy Spirit", Miss Tuozzo recalled. Shortly afterwards she applied for the training course in Cuernavaca. She will report next month to Auxiliary Bishop GennaroPrata of La Paz, Bolivia, to start a three-year period as a Papal Volunteer. Her job will be to set up a series of medical dispen saries for the poor. Teeners March Against Lukemia Students from St. Pius X High School will participate in the coming teen-agers' march against lukemia. Sponsored by ALSAC) Aiding Lukemia Stric ken American Children), the drive will take place March 17. ALSAC is a national organi zation whose purpose is to con quer lukemia. Its goal present ly is to maintain St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, Tennes see. This hospital is now main ly a research facility in the fight against lukemia, some times called cancer of the blood. As part of a national cam paign, Atlanta will see a teen agers' march against this dis ease for the purpose of gaining finances for St. Jude's. The city's quota is 4,000 volunteer marchers. Comedian Danny Thomas is ALSAC's national president. Thomas* pledge to St. Jude was that he would construct a hospital, and he has suc cessfully instigated the foun dation. Mr. Joseph Ashkoutl, whose daughter, Diane, attends St. Pius X, is the city's di rector. controversy, should be careful not to do so in a way that would inflame religious antagonisms. Referring to the dispute over religious practices in public schools, an issue now under study by the U. S. Supreme Court' in cases from Maryland and Pennsylvania, Msgr. Moore suggested that to leave spiri tual values out of the schools would do "damage to both edu cation and the individual." "TO ME the omission of spi ritual and moral values from the curriculum is somewhat like speaking of a two-sided tria- angle. "Something vital, essen tial, even historic is missing," he said. Wayne Cowan, managing edi tor of the Protestant magazine Christianity and Crisis, said the question of religion in pub lic education is a "devastating problem" which must be faced by the ProteBtant community. Cowan supported the view that in the area of education the state should seek to achieve purely secular goals without concerning Itself whether in do ing so it Incidentally aids reli gion. Rabbi Joseph Klein, editor of the Journal of the Central Con ference of American Rabbis, said American Jews are "al most unanimous" in opposing religious teaching or "compul sory" religious practices in public schools. "This opposition includes the recitation of prayer in any form, the reading of the Bible in the classroom under the coercion of state law, the celebration of Christmas and Easter and. . . of Chanukkah and Passover al so," Rabbi Klein said. HE SAID American Jews take this position not because they oppose religion Itself "but be cause we believe religion to be a deeply personal matter and a thing of conscience, and that it is impossible for the state to legislate any kind of religious activity into being without do ing violence to the conscience, and that it is impossible for the state to legislate any kind of religious activity into being without doing violence to the conscience of some people." He said U. S. Jews "in the main" oppose state aid to pri vate schools. However, he not ed, there is a Jewish "minori ty group" which conducts its own schools and "would wel come such assistance." As for "peripheral aid" in the form of bus rides and free lunches for parochial school students, he said "most Jewish leaders" would question its "validity" while at the same time hesitating to "speak open ly against" it. EARLIER, three religious editors presented "descriptive evaluations" of the U. S. Catho lic, Protestant and Orthodox and Jewish press. ‘K’ Son-in-Law Praises Pontiff Father Albert J. Nevins, M. M., editor of Maryknoll maga zine and a past president of the Catholic Press Association, said the Catholic press in this country is a refutation of the idea that the Catholic Church is a "monolith." Noting that the interreligious "dialogue" and the ecumenical council have done much to "dis pel that notion," he said "we could have buried the miscon ception much sooner if we had invited those who held it to at tend a Catholic press conven tion." "Sometimes there seem to be as many opinions as there are people at the meeting," Father Nevins said. "If you follow the Catholic press today, you will find opinion as far left as support for Castro and de nial that he is a Russian puppet to as far right as that the UN. is a Russian puppet and should be sent packing." RABBI Ira Eisensten, editor of the Jewish biweekly the Re- constructionist, said there is a widespread consensus amongU. S. Jewish publications on the re ligion and education question. "Most Jewish periodicals which deal with current prob lems at all are inclined to ad here to the posltion...that there should be no Federal support for religiously oriented schools; that prayers should be eliminated from the schools; that Bible reading has no place in the public schools when pre sented as a religious exercise; that Sunday closing laws are unjust unless they make provi sion for alternatives for those < who observe other days of rest", he said. REV. JAMES M. Flanagan, executive director of the As sociated Church Press, said religious publications have a "major role" to play in the de veloping interreligious dialo gue. "As religious Journalists communicate conviction on im portant issues—and at their best they regard this as their responsibility — they bring about conflict, tensions which are not easily ameliorated," he said. "It is wholesome to discuss differences and to make an hon est effort through published dia logue reports to generate less heat and more light," he added. Priest’s Father Mr. Moses Leary, father of the Rev. Richard Leary, C. P., Principal of Drexel High, died last week in Burlington, Ver mont. A Solemn Requiem for Mr. Leary was celebrated in his home parish on Friday morning. Interment followed afterwards. Drexel High students attended a Solemn Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul at St. Paul of the Cross Church, also on Friday. ROME -NC— The peace ap peal issued last October 25 at the time of the Cuban cris is by Pope John XXIII "had a deep impact on the Russian people," the editor of theMos- cow daily Izvestia and son-in- law of Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev said here. Alexei Adzhubei also told a press conference organized by the Italy-USSR Society that "we welcome the release of...(Arch bishop) Josyf Slipyi from a Russian prison if this helps to relieve tensions in the world." The Ukrainian Rite Ordinary of Lviv was released early in February after 18 years of de tention in the Soviet Union. ADZHUBEI said he knew nothing of the circumstances leading to the release of the prelate, whom he mistakenly called a cardinal. He noted only that Archbishop Slipyi was a prelate from the Ukraine where "many Russian soldiers were killed." One journalist at the (Feb. 28) news conference asked: "Do you consider an understanding possible between the Holy See and an atheistic state such as the Soviet Union?" Adzhubei prefaced his reply with the remark that coexist ence concerns nations, not ideas — "even though we proclaim that ideological controversies must not be solved by war." Then said: "IT WOULD be a mistake to Christ The King Parents To Meet The Parents' Association of Christ the King School will meet Monday,. March 18 in the Cathe dral Center with Mrs. Philip J. Duffy conducting the meeting. Mrs. Leonard Leonaitis will in troduce the guest speaker, Sis ter Mary Severine who is the assistant to the Superintendent of Catholic Schools. Sister will speak on "Catholic Education - Today and Tomorrow." Plans for a Card F*arty and Fashion Show to be held on April 23 will be presented to the parents by Mrs. John Hu ber and Mm. Robert Robinson, co-chairmen of the gala af- . fair. Also tq be discussed are plans for a day of games and fun for the school children to be held early in May. Mrs. George Gussman and Mrs. . William Paullln are the co-chairmen of the Play Day. conceive the problem of relat ions with the Catholic Church as exclusively ideological. The Vatican is a state with its own political organization and we must take this into account. It has a great influence over many countries." Stating that Pope John is not only a religious leader but also a head of state, the 38- year-old editor said that it was in the latter capacity that the Pope spoke last fall when he urged the solution of inters national controversies through peaceful means. The Pope's appeal for a peaceful solution prompted Khrushchev to send him his good wishes on his 81st birthday in November, said Adzhubei. It was here that he added that the papal plea had "a deep impact" on Soviet public opinion. THE audience broke into ap plause at this point, and Adz hubei joined in, clapping along with his hearers in the Russian manner. To the question as to whether he was thinking of a meeting with the Pope, Adzhubei re plied that is is foolish for a journalist to declare his in tention of interviewing an im portant person, if only to avoid the bitterness of a refusal. Asked if Premier Khrusche’ would meet the Pope durin,' any visit to Italy, Adzhubd replied: "I . don't know of any thing definite. But we do knew that the Pope doesn't bite, jut as we don't bite." IN REPLY to a question abut persecution of Catholics unter Stalin, Adzhubei launched ino a theoretical discussion of pro blems. of Church and Sate. Instead of falling on the cunrent Soviet line accusing Stain of major responsibility for cnelty and injustices, he aciused Catholic priests of laving blessed nazi armies on their' way to war against the Soviet people. In the course of thi news conference — which was or ganized by the comnunist- backed Italy-USSR Association — Adzhubei said he was anx ious to visit St. Peterb basil ica — "a great work of art." He and his wife did visit the huge church the followhg morn ing. NELSON -RIVES REALTY INC. 3««5A Clalnnont nwiI CHAMBLKE. GEORGIA Formerly Sml-Xel Realty Co., Im. Howard € Nelson.
