ON FEDERAL AID
NCWC Official Explains
Catholic Education Aims
WASHINGTON, —A National
Catholic Welfare Conference
spokemen told Congress that
the country’s welfare and na
tional interest dictate that paro
chial school children share in
Federal aid proposals.
This viewpoint was given the
Senate education subcommittee
(May 29) by Msgr. Frederick
G. Hochwalt, director of the
Department of Education of the
NCWC.
HE WAS joined by two other
educators—a priest and a lay
teacher—in detailed explan
ations to the Senate sub
committee of size of Catholic
schooling, its financial savings
to taxpayers and the impact
exclusion from Federal aid
would have on the nation and
on Catholic schools.
Msgr. John B. McDowell, su
perintendent of Pittsburgh dio
cesan schools, explained the
operation of his school system,
and Bernard Powers, a father
of eight and a teacher In South
Hills Catholic High School,
Mount Lebanon, Pa., explained
his choice of Catholic schooling
for his four schoolage children
and his belief that all schools
impart values.
Testifying the same day was

for the New York archdiocese

Francis Cardinal Spellman,
Archbishop of New York.
CUSACK said it was Cardi
nal Spellman’s belief that there
are open to Congress numerous
methods of assisting church-
related schools of their pupils
without doing violence to sepre-
ation of Church and State.
In his testimony, Msgr. Hoch
walt stressed that he did not
intend to discuss "the merits
or demerits of Federal aid to
education as a national policy."
"That will be decided by the
people and their elected repre
sentatives," he said.
"I am here, however, to make
one point clear. It is simply
this——if Congress concludes
that the educational standards
of the country demand an up
grading, and that this must come
about by Federal aid and en
couragement, then the general
welfare of the country and the
national interest dictate that all
children receive this help and
encouragement," he said.
IN ADDITION to what he' j
called the potential loss to the
nation by failure to extend gov
ernment aid to all pupils, Msgr.
Hochwalt also said grave da
mage could come to the Ca
tholic schools themselves.
"It is entirely possible that
in such an event we may be
priced out of educational effect
iveness," he said.
Saying there ' *is just so much
money in the pockets of our
benefactors," the Monsignor
stated that "our ability to keep
up our expansion will be tre
mendously weakened since the
areas hardest hit by Federal
taxation."
He expressed the conviction
that it was "penny-wise and
pound*foolish" to stymie the
growth of Catholic schooling.
*'If we were to receive a
fair share of the modest sum
proposed by the Federal gov
ernment for education, we should
be able to maintain out present
status.
"A few dollars spent in help
ing us raise our educational
standards would mean a saving
of hundreds <of dollars per child
to the local and state govern
ments," he said.
Msgr. McDowell said the ann
ual operational savings to the
public in Pittsburgh, where 40
per cent of the children attend
Catholic schools, is about $22
million because of Catholic
schools.
Comparing this figure to
other costs in the city, he
said: "$22 million in my home
town means the total annual
budget for the Department of
Safety which includes the sal
aries and expenses for both the
Police and Fire Departments,
plus the total budget for the
Bureau of Bridges, Highways,
and Sewers."
Msgr. McDOWELL stressed
the extent of state control over
the curriculm in Catholic scho
ols. "Regretfully," he said,
"some erroneously think that
the adminstrators of private
and parochial schools nonchal
antly decide shall be taught."
He said it is often assumed
that Catholic schools operate
in a vacuum and "The program
Is merely an elaborate cate
chetical effort."
"Frequently, one encounters
the charge that no aid can be
given to parochial schools be
cause the citizen would have no
control over such fund*. This is
simply not true," he said, not
ing that subjects must meet
state approval.
the same principle and teach
spiritual and moral values are
considered eligible?”
Sen. Wayne Morse of Ore
gon, subcommittee chairman,
interrupted Msgr. McDowell
and asked the Pittsbugh educa
tor to submit later a memo
randum in answer to charges
that Catholic schools give a
religious emphasis t0 secular
subjects. If this is true, he
said, Federal aid might be aid
religion.
Msgr. McDowell agreed to
prepare such a document, He
noted that the state recognizes
courses completed in Catholic
schools as fulfilling the state's
purposes.
The issue raised by Morse
was taken up by Powers in his
testimony who stressed his be
lief that as a teacher there
is no such thing as a neutral
schools, or an education with
out values.
NOTING arguments that Fe
deral aid should go only to so-
called neutral school, Powers
said that every school, includ
ing public schools, is "reli
gious" in some sense.
Powers read into the record
the 1963 resolution of the
American Association of School
Administrators, a public school
group, which committed the as
sociation to use every means
"to instill high moral princi
ples and develop an appreciation
of ethical and spiritual values
in our children and youth."
"I affirm the ASSA state
ment," he said, but he added:
"I often wonder why the
teaching of spiritual and moral
values in the school in which
I teach and to which I send
my children disqualifies them
for Federal assistance while
other schools which stand on
CUSACK, in his testimony
on behalf of Cardinal Spellman,
maintained that exclusion of pri
vate school children from Fe
deral aid proposals "cannot
be successfully defended."
If there is an objection on
constitutional grounds, he said,
it can be overcome "by pro
perly drawn legislation that
would adopt one of a number
of constitutionally permissible
approaches to aiding the non
religious aspects of education
in these schools."
On behalf of Cardinal Spell
man, Cusack presented the four
alternatives first proposed by
the Cardinal in 1961. They are:
1. A program of Federal aid
for the non-religious facilities
of church-related schools which
might be sufficient by itself
to provide full equality of bene
fit.
2. Some kind of an educa
tional grant or benefit directly
to all children attending church-
related schools, which might
include the furnishing of non
religious textbooks and supp
lies or the provision of cer
tain non-religious educational
services.
3. Some type of grant or be
nefit to the parent of children
attending church-related scho
ols which might take the form
of reimbursement of tuition paid
in situations where tutition is
charged or of some kind of an
income tax deduction, exemp
tion or credit.
4. A program of long-term,
low- interest-rate loans to
church-related schools.
THE CARDINAL’S four pro
posals drew from Sen. Morse
MISS JACQUELINE Mitchell, member of St. Paul of the Cross
Parish, Atlanta, Ga., was the Valedictorian at Samuel Archer
High School. Besides her Valedictory award, Miss Mitchell was
the recipient of two other awards and threeecollege scholarships,
amounting to $7,850. Scholarships were received from Clark
College, Atlanta; Talladega College, Alabama; and Trinity Cat
holic College, Vermont. Miss Mitchell has elected to accept her
full four year scholarship at Trinity Catholic College, Burlington,
Vermont.
a comment of appreciation. He
said they helped move the sub
committee "down the road"
toward solution of the problem
of aid to church-related schools
of their pupils.
Morse asked Cusack if it w as
the Cardinal's view that aid
to public schools and aid to
church-related schools need not
to be identical.
Cusack replied in the affir
mative, explaining that the Car
dinal thinks the constitutional
problems make it impossible
to have a "Mathametical equ
ality' 1 between aid to the two
types of schools.
Birthplace
Mourns Pope
SOTTO IL MONTE, Italy,
This village in the foothills of
the Alps w as one of tears onthe
death of its famous son who
was born Angelo Giuseppe Ron-
calli on November 25, 1881.
When new s of Pope John's
death reached the village, most
of the people of the community
hurried to the church, where
the parish priest began prayers
for the dead.
BLACK streamers and black-
bordered papal flags hung from
the window ledges of the houses.
Meanwhile, Bishop Giuseppe
Piazzi of Bergamo declared:
"The world has lost a pope—
and what a pope!—and mourns
him disconsolately. We have
lost a loving father."
Bishop Piazzi, who had been
at Pope John's beds ide tw o days
before he died, and received
from him a special blessing
for his native diocese, added
that Pope John taught through
his example "that it is kind
ness that overcomes and top
ples barriers."

BY POPE JOHN
Secret Cardinals
Not Disclosed
VATICAN CITY (NC)—Three
churchmen whom Pope John
XXIII picked to become cardi
nals three years ago lost their
prospect of joining the College
of Cardinals with his death.
It was at the consistory of
March 28, 1960, when he pub
lished the names of seven other
new cardinals, that Pope John
revealed he had also chosen
three others "in petto." The
term is an Italian one meaning
"in the breast”—or secretly.
IF A Roman Pontiff announces
the creation of a cardinal, but
reserves the name to himself
for special reasons, the person
thus promoted does not enjoy
the rights and privileges of car
dinals. But at the time the Pope
does publish his name, he takes
97.7% AVERAGE
m
seniority over other cardinals
created after the time of the
reservation in petto.
In this case, however, the
Pope died w ithout publishing the
names of the three in petto car
dinals. Thus in effect their ap
pointments to the College of
Cardinals died with him.
The last cardinal who was
chosen in petto was Federico
Cardinal Tedeschini, the Apos
tolic Datary who died in 1959.
Pope Pius XI chose him a car
dinal petto on March 13, 1933,
choosing to keep him in his
post as Papal Nuncio to Spain.
Pius XI made his name public
in the consistory of December
16, 1935, and he was automati
cally recalled to the Vatican.
D’Youville Honors
Miss Farnsworth
An average of 97.7% attained
by sophomore Florence Fran-
sworth won for her first place
on the final honor-roll for the
year at D’Youville Academy,
Sister Mary Raphael, G.N.S.H.
announced at an honors
assembly Thursday, May 30.
This marked the close of the
year for the students and a
memorable one for the Academy
which saw its first graduation
Sunday, May 26.
In addition to first place on
the honor-roll, Florence was
the recipient of a silver plaque
from the Ford-Future Scien
tists of .America contest in token
of w inning first place in the dis
trict competition, and of a medal
pin from the Auxilium Latinum
Examination.
Other first honor students
include Michaela Ruppert and
Pamela Parker, juniors; Wendy
Jones, Elaine Reilly, Ann Marie
Bradley, and Carroll Offen, so
phomores; and Ann Farnsworth,
Valerie Gornto, Catherine Ha
re, Leslie Laird, Carol Up
church and Beth Stafford, fresh
men.
Several students also re
ceived other awards. Micheala
Ruppert and Elaine Reilly, tied
for highest average in Ameri
can History , each received spe
cial commendation. Medals for
this award, given by the Knights
df Columbus, will be awarded
later. Micheal Ruppert, al
ready third place winner in the
third year French contest spon
sored by the American Asso
ciation of Teachers of French,
won second place in the state
contest sponsored by the Clas
sical and Modern Foreign Lan
guage Association oi Georgia.
