Said In Ohio
CLEVELAND, Ohio (RNS)—
Pastors in the Roman Catho
lic Diocese of Cleveland were
given permission to conduct
Forty Hours devotion in Eng-
lish.h.
Archbishop Edward F. Ho-
ban, in a letter to all priests,
said the use of English was
permissive and not obligatory.
The Diocesan Liturgical
Commission has prepared Eng
lish translations of the tradi
tional Pange Lingua pro
cessional hymn, the litany of
saints, and several psalms or
dinarily said in Latin,
ONLY the hymn, Tantum Er
go, and several sung prayers
will remain in Latin if the
priests decide to use their Eng
lish permission.
Archbishop Hoban, in grant
ing the privilege, said that five
parishes in the Cleveland dio
cese had used the English in
experiments this past spring
and the congregation and priests
were happy with the results.
FORTY HOURS devotion
dates back at least 400 years.
It consists of 40 hours of ex
position of the Blessed Sacra
ment. Usually a parish has
the devotion once a year, open
ing it on Friday and closing on
Sunday, or opening it on Sun
day and closing it on Tuesday.

'JUSTICE NOW’
Three Faiths Back
Rights Legislation
WASHINGTON (NC) —
Spokesmen for three major Cat
holic, Protestant and Orthodox,
and Jewish agencies backed the
administration’s civil rights
program in a joint statement
to a House Judiciary subcom
mittee.
They called for racial justice
"now" and said that "what is
right, both in terms of basic
morality and in terms of our
democratic ideals, must be
granted without delay,”
THEIR SUPPORT extended to
the administration’s controver
sial proposal to bar discrimin
ation in privately-owned public
accommodations, such as hotels
and restaurants. They said the
property right is not an abso
lute right but must yield to hig
her considerations.
The statement was submitted
to a Judiciary subcommittee,
which is weighing the adminis
tration’s requestfor civil rights
legislation, by the social action
departments of the National
Council of Churches, the Nati
onal Catholic Welfare Con
ference, and the Synagogue
Council of America.
IT WAS presented by Dr. Eu
gene Carson Blake, Stated Clerk
(chief executive officer) of the
United Presbyterian Church;
(Father John F. Cronin, S. S„
assistant director of theNCWC
Social Action Department; and
Rabbi Irwin M. Blank of the
Synagogue Council. The actual
presentation was made by Dr.
Blake.
The religious leaders’ state
ment stressed the "Urgency of
legislative action now” to re
medy racial Injustices.
"We are in the midst of a so
cial revolution,” they said,
"Please God it will remain a
social revolution and not de
generate into civil chaos. But
let us not understimate the de
mand for justice regardless of
color, race or national origin.
"What is right, both in terms
of basic moralityand in terms of
our democratic Ideals, must be
granted without delay. The time
is past for tokenism or demands
for endless patience.
"We must move firmly,
rapidly and courageously
toward goals which our cons
ciences assure us are right and
‘necessary. We can do no less
for God and country.”
THE religious leaders re
viewed the Kennedy administra
tion’s proposals for civil rights
legislation point by point and
endorsed each one.
The administration program
contains provisions to protect
voting rights, bar discriminat
ion in public accommodations,
authorize the Attorney General
to institute school desegregat
ion suits, establish a commu
nity relations service, ex
tend for four years the Civil
Rights Commission, prevent
discrimination in public accom
modations, authorize the Attor
ney General to institute sc
hool desegregation suits, estab
lish a community relations ser
vice, extend for four years
the Civil Rights Commission,
prevent discrimination in fede
rally opportunity.
On the controversial public
accommodations proposal, the
religious leaders noted that dis
crimination in such facilities
is barred by local laws in many
places. Enactment of a Federal
law for the same purpose "is
not a drastic step," they said.
"Nor is it an invasion of pro
perty rights as some have clai
med,” they added. "Neither law
nor morality sanction the con
cept of the absolute right of
property. Both insist that the
property owner must use his
property in a socially respon
sible fashion.
"We have zoning laws, traffic
ordinances, license and in
spection requirements as well
as scores of other rules and
regulations that currently en
force the concept of socially
responsible ownership. If we
can protect citizens against the
injury caused by blaring tele
vision sets, surely we can give
equal protection against the
deep affront and humila-
tion caused by racial discrim
ination in public accommod
ations,"
THE RELIGIOUS leaders also
declared that "'many church
bodies” would support even
broader civil rights measures
than those contained in the ad
ministration program.
Specifically, they said, many
religious groups would back a
tough fair employment pract
ices bill, as well as training,
•counselingsand placement ser
vices for "economically depri
ved" persons.
The religious leaders gave
major emphasis to the need for
immediate action on civil
rights, echoing the call for jus
tice "now” that has become a
rallying slogan in current civil
rights campaigns.
US-Vatican Ties
Asked In House
WASHINGTON, D. C. (RNS)—
An appeal for the "widest pos
sible discussion" of a proposal
that the United States extend
diplomatic recognition to the
Vatican by sending an ambassa
dor to the papal court has been
made here by Rep. Roman C.
Pucinski (D.-Ill,),
Mr. Pucinski placed in the
Congressional Record the full
text of the recent article by C.
L. Sulzberger of the New York
Times urging that the United
States join other nations which
maintain diplomatic missions
at the Vatican.
"THERE is considerable
merit to his observation that
the United States exchange en
voys with tiny states through
out the world of considerably
less importance that Vatican
City," Mr. Pucinski told the
House.
"SURELY, the Vatican today
stands as one of the world's
impressive forums for the ex
change of views and ideas in
man's unyielding search for
peace and understanding," he
declared.
