IN BASEBALL
Cathode Profiles
BY RONDEL
"Meenie just come to play balL You throw the beesboll, I
heet it. You heet it, I catch eet.” That's Minnie Minoso’s simple
explanation of how to play baseball,
A twelve year veteran of the American League baseball wars,
Mlnoso spent a few brief months on the other side of the fence,
playing outfield for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Though he rarely makes the head
lines Minoso is a ball players ball
player. He plays baseball with the
bubbling enthusiasm of a little lea
guer. Minnie is a teamplayer, fluid at
bat and in the field and always willing
to sacrifice himself for the team.
TWICE IN his illustrious career he
has suffered injuries serious enough to
force many players into retirement.
Once breaking his collarbone and the
> I other time seriously breaking his arm running into a concrete
fence while chasing a fly ball.

Throughout his career the quiet spoken Cuban Negro has been
underrated as a player. He has fine all-around speed and it is
not uncommon to see him steal in the neighborhood of 30 bases.
Three times in his sparkling tenure Orestes Minnie Minoso
has led the American League in stolen bases. He is one of a
rapidly diminishing breed of .300 hitters and holds a lifetime
swat mark of .306.

ST. JOHN’S MELKITE Pastor, Father William Haddad, honored the members of St. John’s Altar
and Rosary Society at a luncheon Sunday, June 23, at the Americana Motel. The occasion marked
the ninth anniversary of Father Haddad’s pastorate. He is leaving July 8 to visit Rome and Lebanon,
returning in September. Members of the Altar and Rosary Society with Father Haddad are, first

MINOSO is a well travelled veteran, having seen action with
Cleveland, the White Sox, and the Cardinals. COURT RULING
Now with the Washington Senators of the AL, Minnie is a fine
example for the younger ballplayers. Even tempered and always,
calm Minnie will perhaps, make a fine manager one day.
Approaching the 40 mark Minnie can look back over his fabulous
carrer and cite many examples of humor and spectacle.
For instance, Minoso is one of the only ballplayers in major
league history to serve two terms with two different clubs.
When he came up as a rookie he broke in with the Clev. Indians
who immediately traded him to the Whitt Sox where he spent seven
years before the Indians re-acquired him via a trade. He toiled with
the Teejpee nine for a pair of seasons and then found himself
back in Sox flannels when Chicago Vice President Bill Veeck
made a move to strengthen the Pale Hose.
ALWAYS a courageous ballplayer as evidenced by the fact
that he played almost a third of the season for the Cards with
his jaw wired after splitting his head open in a bout with a fence,
he is also a determined athlete.
Never too tired to stop and give a small boy an autograph,
you will often find Minnie lingering around the park for well
over an hour signing balls and talking with young admirers.
Thirteen years have not changed Minoso much. He is virtually
the same man that came too the big leagues. Success has only
made him more appreciative of the opportunity he received in
playing baseball.
IN HIS own words Minnie says, "It has helped me meet so
many people and learn so many things, in addition to promoting
goodwill.” And goodwill he has promoted. Everwhere he goes,
he always has a kind word.
Not a bora leader, Minnie was the leader in quite a humorous
incident a few years ago while a member of the Chicago club.
He had been in a slump for over a week and finally when he
went hitless in the first game of a doubleheader he went in and
took a shower with all his clothes on, chiding his teammates by
saying he was chasing away all the evil spirits in his uniform.
In the second game he collected three hits, two homers and
a double, while the Sox lost. Immediately after the game the
entire White Sox squad followed Minnie’s first game ritual and
headed for the showers, fully clothed.

Impact Greatest In South
NEW YORK (RNS)— Upwards
of 50 per cent of all U. S. school
districts will be affected by the
Supreme Court ruling holding
unconstitutional Bible readings
and the recitation of the Lord's
Prayer as devotional acts in the
public schools.
The effect will be felt greatest
in the South and East where,
traditionally, a great majority
of schools opened the day’s pro
gram with prayer or Bible pass
ages.
BECAUSE most educators,
churchmen and journalists had
accurately forecast the Court’s
decision, the ruling occasioned
no great surprise. The decision
came at an opportune time —
the period when most of the nat
ion’s school children were to
begin long summer vacations.
For that reason there would
be no "abrupt halt” to tradit
ions ruled to be unconstitutional
as "religious ceremonies.*’ In
most cases, the change in pro
cedure would occur 10 or more
weeks away, in September when
the 1963-64 school year begins.
Most state education officials
promised quick adherence to the
Court’s ruling. Others asked at
torneys general and law ad
visers for interpretations.
IN South Carolina, however,
DESPITE DANGERS
COLORADO SPRINGS (NC)
—Federal support for all col
leges, private as well as pub
lic, has become essential even
though it will create some pro
blems, a Catholic educator told
a conference on higher educat
ion here.
"While the dangers of undue
Federal control in higher edu
cation will always be im
minent," declared Father Paul
C. Reinert, S. J., President of
St. Louis (Mo) University,
"Federal support of all higher
education and in particular,
private colleges and universit
ies, is imperative if we are to
maintain a strong and effective
educational system.”
FATHER Reinert said that

7th annual National CYO Con
vention here.
He will receive the gold 'Pro

Nov. F6,

partment, National Catholic
Welfare Conference, said Mr.
Hoover was to be cited for "his
the state’s education leader said
he intended to ignore the decis
ion.
"It’s rather regrettable that
the matter has come up,’’ said
Jesse Anderson, state superin
tendent of education.
"South Carolina will continue
to feel free to do in each school
or classroom the normal thing
which the teacher feels should
be done,” he said.
Mr. Anderson noted that the
state has no legislation or re
gulation requiring school pray
ers . However, he added, the
prayers are said In many
schools throughout the state.
In Pennsylvania, Dr. Charles
H. Boehm, superintendent of
public instruction, said "we in
terpret this decision to mean
the elimination of religious ser
vices and ritual, but God and re
ligion will remain in the sc
hools.”
HE told newsmen he would
recommend that Pennsylvania
schools begin their opening ex
ercises with a period of silent
meditation, followed by inspir
ational music, art or literature.
"This opening period,” he
said, "should accent our heri
tage, aspirations, great mom
ents in our history, beauty in
undersirable Federal control
would arise out of financial ra
ther than governmental power.
The danger would lie in having
"only one source of money,”
he said. He conceded that sc
hools seeking Federal funds for
their programs are open at a
"Spontaneous and willing redi
rection of academic effort" that
could result in their nationali
zation.
The St. Louis University pre
sident urged that American col
leges present a unified policy
to Federal and state authorities.
He also suggested that college
leaders be named to a commis
sion of higher education advi
sers to the President. His re
marks were made at a Dan-
forth Foundation workshop at
Colorado College here.

moral values.”
Dr. Boehm added that "we-
are going to consult with sch
olars from the four major re
ligions, and other scholars, on
important matters to religion
and the curriculm" to cope with
the Court’s edict.
(Pennsylvania was one of the
states involved in the Court’s
decision; it has long had a law
promoting Bible readings in
the public schools.)
To "fulfill. . .our responsi
bility for bringing to the at
tention of our students moral
and spiritual values,” Dr.
Boehm named the following re
ligious leaders to assist in the
selection of materials for the
proposed inspirational period:
Msgr. Edward T. Hughes,
superintendent of schools for
the Roman Catholic Arch
diocese of Philadelphia; Dr.
Solomon B. Freehof of Rodef
Shalom Temple, Pittsburgh; Dr.
J. Charles McKirachan, pastor
of the Pine Street Presbyter
ian church, Harrisburg; and
Professor John Ramanides of
Holy Cross Greek Ortho
dox Theological Seminary,
Brookline, Mass.
IN New York City, where a
reading of a passage from the
Bible is mandatory each day
under a Board of Education re
gulation, school officials said
the decision of the Supreme Co
urt "must be obeyed.” Boty
state and city educators with
held further comment until they
had completed study of the de
cision.
One reputable survey in
dicated that a large percentage
of American school districts
followed some type of "relig
ious ceremony” as a daily open
ing exercise. Richard B. Dier-
enfield, associate professor of
education at Macalester Col
lege, St. Paul, Minn., indicated
in Religion in American Pub
lic Schools (Public Affairs
Press) that:
1. More than half (50.24 per
cent) of some 4,000 public sc
hool superintendents inter
viewed said their schools held
"homeroom devotional ser
vices"; and
2. Forty-one percent of these
superintendents said that
"Bible reading" was conducted
in the schools.
According to his study, the
practices were heaviest in the
East and South. "Devotional
services” were held in 88.69
per cent of the southern sch
ools checked, 80.16 per cent of
eastern schools; 25.95 per cent
of midwestem ?chools, and only
8.62 per cent in western sc
hools. Bible reading figures
showed: South, 76.84 per cent;
East, 67.56; Midwest, 18.26; and
West,, 11.03.
A recent report by the Ameri
can Jewish Committee also
showed that 11 states requried
prayer or Bible reading through
law or regulation and 15 "per-
‘mitted” such practices.
Only ten forbade the pro
grams.

ROME THEOLIGIAN
Priestly Approach Needs
Council Pastoral Emphasis
ST. LOUIS (NC) — A re
nowned moral theologian from
Rome said here a priest’s ap
proach to penance and penitents
should stress love of Christ ra
ther than an outmoded legalism.
Father Bernard Haring,
C.SS.R., of the Redemptorist
-Fathers* Alfonsiana Academy,
Rome, said priests, especially
theologians, should heed the
change toward a stronger pas
toral approach stemming from
the Second Vatican Council.
SPEAKING to the 18th an
nual convention of the Catholic
Theological Society, Father
Haring, a "peritus” or expert
at the council, said the Church’s
■ "self-understanding” was at
the heart of the assembly of
bishops.
"To theologian^*,” he said,
"this means that the moral
message must be a witness of
the true nature of the Church,”
he said.
J., professor of patristics at
Woodstock (Md.) College, a
major Jesuit seminary.
FATHER Burghardt, in an
interview, warned of a dehu
manized theology. "One of the
complaints made against theo
logy.” he said, "is that it is
horribly intellectual in a bad
sense—an intellectual dis
cipline that feeds only the
mind.”
Theological truths, he said,
should not be divorced from the
men they were intended to guide
to salvation.
He suggested that close study
of the early Fathers of the Ch
urch might help close what some
see as a gap between spiritu
ality and theology.
"In the way the Fathers of the
Church treat theology there is
never any question that they are
treating only a thing or a truth,”
he said. ‘*They never divorce
truth from the thing it goes
with."
CHARGES ‘DISTORTIONj

"The whole message must be
Christo-centric. And it must be
said emphatically that moral
theology cannot consider man
only as under an external law.
"Decisively, the moral mes
sage has to consider the truth
that Christ is living in us and
we are living in Him. All moral
exegesis must pour forth from
this very effect,” he said.
CHURCH laws and regulat
ions, he said, should be based
on the Church’s understanding
of herself as a community of
love. "The juridical struc
ture must be a witness of this
love. Canon law must be re
formed in such a way that
it expresses very clearly that
the Church is a community of
love.”
For example, he said, he
thinks new legislation is needed
regarding mixed marriages. "It
must be a very clear witness
that the Church has love—not
only for her members, but for
other Christians. And whatever
the Church imposes must not
be imposed arbitrarily but in
such a way that it helps Chris
tians in love—a love of unity.”
The Redemptorist’s stress on
the pastoral as opposed to the
legal was commented upon by
another convention participant,
Father Walter J. Burghardt, S.
Maronite Pastor
Visits Lebanon
Father Joseph Abi-Nader,
pastor of St. Joseph’s Maronite
Church, Atlanta, will visit Le
banon this summer, leaving July
18 from New York.
Father Joseph came to the
United States In 1958 to assume
the pastorate of St. Joseph's.
He also teaches religion at St.
Pius X High School and is a
member of the archdiocesan
school board.
Last September Father
Joseph dedicated his church
with the solemn ceremonies and
festivities of the Maronite Rite.
His Beatitude, Paul Peter Me-
ouchi, Maronite Patriarch of
Antioch and All the East, who
was in this country to dedicate
the Moronite Seminary in Wash
ington, D. C., was present, as
was Archbishop Paul J. Hall-
inan.
Father Joseph will visit his
mother and his brothers and
sisters in Lebanon and will also
go to Paris, Rome and the Holy
Land. He will have a private
audience with His Beatitude, the
Maronite Patriarch and will
present him with an album of
pictures taken while he was de
dicating St. Joseph’s.
The parish is planning a fare
well party, which will take place
in the Social Hall.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (NC)
— The president of the Ameri
can Medical Association has ac
cused the Catholic press cf dis
tortion in what he said has been
criticism of the AMA’s fight
against Medicare.
Dr. Edward R. Annis of Miami
charged some Catholic editors
with being so 'firmly fixed in
their new socialist philo
sophies’’ that they "will not lis
ten to our point of view."
MEDICARE is the label given
President Kennedy’s proposal
to finance certain hospital costs
for aged out of Social Security.
The AMA has fought the pro
gram vigorously, claiming
it amounts to government in
terference in medical affairs
and is socialism.
_Dr. Annis was interviewed
here a- } die Star Herald, news
paper of the Camden, N. J.,
diocese. 1 . At his request, he re
viewed a May 25 editorial in
the paper entitled "The Empty
House of AMA."
Indicating the editorial, Dr.
Annis said: "This is typical
of the distortion in the Catholic
press. They are ignorant of the
position of American medicine
and firmly fixed in their soci
alist philosophies. These people
are so firmly fixed in their
view they won’t even listen to
our point of view.”
DR. ANNIS, who, like the
AMA’s president-elect Dr.
Norman Welch of Boston, was
trained in Catholic schools, said
that "repeatedly in some of the
Catholic press—the only ones
taking me to task—ignorance
makes them say we are totally
wrong.”
Medicare, said Dr. Annis, is
a "swindle," a "fraud," and a
"political product which does
not provide true medical care."
The physician attacked par
ticularly writings he attributed
to Msgr. George Higgins, dir
ector of the Social Action
Department of the National Cat
holic Welfare Conference,
Washington, D. C.
HE SAID that Msgr. Higgins’
writings reflect the thinking of
labor leaders and what he de
scribed as the efforts of these
leaders to dominate American
medicine.
(In Washington, where he was
asked for comment, Msgr. Hig
gins said he thought Dr. Annis
was referring to an article he
wrote last year for Extension
magazine, Chicago. The Arti
cle's thesis was that while peo
ple could disagree with Medi
care, they could not fairly la
bel it as socialism.
(Asked about the charge that
his writings reflect the thinking
of labor leaders, the monsignor
said that if Dr. Annis has made
up his mind that this is true,
nothing will change it.)
Referring to articles by some
Catholic writers who he said
are "totally ignorant of Ameri
can medicine or are deliber
ately ignoring it,” Dr. Annis
said they are trying to force
their own personal philosophy
and ideology on Catholic men
and women "who have been led
to believe that truth is to be
found in the Catholic press."
"WE DON’T object to con
troversy, to those who disa
gree with us,” he said, "but
what we object to is the edi
torial writer who pontificates
against a point of view which
they don’t even bother to check
from authoritiative sources."
Dr. Annis father of eight
children, is a native of Det
roit who graduated from the
Marquette University Medical
School in 1938 and has been par-
cticing medicine in Florida
since then. He is a member of
Corpus Christi parish, Miami,
and has been active in Florida
Catholic lay organizations for
more than two decades.
HE SAID that Msgr. Higgins’
writings reflect the thinking
of labor leaders and what he
described as the efforts of these
leaders to dominate American
medicine.
