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.

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."

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.
