Australians Move Toward
Aid To Private Schools
SYDNEY, Australia, (NC) —
A new stance by Australia’s
dominant political party, offer
ing broader government assis
tance to students in non-public
schools, may come out of a parr/
conference later this month.
However, the meeting has
been put under a shadow through
statements suggesting ineffice-
ency in schools run by relig
ious bodies.
THE Australian Labor party
will meet at Perth, in Western
Australia, beginning July 29.
It has been disclosed that the
party's education committee
will recommend aid to private
schools in the matters of
science equipment, textbooks,
bus rides and scholarships to
secondary school pupils.
This is a significant change
in Labor party Policy. Oppon
ents are already voicing strong
challenges to it, saying for
example that science facllitites
in the state schools must first
be brought up to effective stand-
Obscene Mail
Arrests Boom
WASHINGTON, (NC)-Arrests
and convictions for violation of
mall laws against obscenity set
a record during 1963, Post
master General J. Edward Day
announcec.
In releasing the summary
(July 19) of law enforcement
action against obscenity for the
fiscal year ended June 30, Day
said: “If further evidence were
needed that the proper avenue
to follow in enforcing the mail-
ability laws is criminal action
rather than administrative pen
alties, I believe these statis
tics should lay the question to
rest."
The year-end report indi
cates 761 arrests for violation
of the mail laws against obs
cenity during fiscal 1963. This
is an increase of 25.8 per
cent over the number of arrests
in 1962, and a 96 per cent in
crease over arrests in 1960,
the last full year in which ad
ministrative procedures were
used in an effort to curtail
use of the mails to transmit
obscene matter.
Day ordered abandonment of
administrative action and a
stepped-up enforcement of the
criminal statues within weeks
after assuming office in 1961.
ards before there can be any
sharing with private school
students.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Dan-
el Mannix, 99-year-old head of
the Melbourne archdiocese, has
taken to task the Labor party
top Parliamentary leaders,
A. A. Calwell and G. A. Whit-
lam, for statements imputing
inefficency to the Church’s
school system in Australia.
CALWELL declared in an
interview last month in London
that a solution to Australia’s
school aid controversy was
complicated by the fact that
direct aid to private schools
was unconstitutional and by what
he called the inefficiency of
many Church schools. Whitlan
told and Australian audience
recently that governments
should not perpetuate the
inefficiency of mulitiple sys
tems of education.
Archbishop Mannix respon
ded to thes statements by decl
aring that recent revelations of
low standards in Australian
public life should stir the gover
nment to asssist religious syst
ems of education, not weaken
them by ciriticism. He said
the criticism amounted to
generalizations that were un
true and would be widely resen
ted.

A summary of the present
Catholic school situation in
Australia has been made this
month by Brother Ronald
Frogarty, F. M. S., who is con
sidered the top authority on
Australian Catholic school his
tory. He said:
“The contemporary position
of our schools poses great pro
blems. In Catholic primary
schools the situation is bad.
There is overcrowding and a
great strain on teachers.
Catholic secondary schools
were once staffed solely by
religious orders, but they are
now incapable of keeping pace
with indefinite expansion. With
out some help they are becom
ing exclusive. The ultimate re
sult will be to close the doors
on the working class, and this
would be a disaster.
“Our system of Catholic ed
ucation, more than any other
single institution, has made the
Church what it is in this coun
try. It has elevated the Catholic
people from a position of social
inferiority and fashioned them
into an alert, socially active
class.’’
Brother Ronald said there are
three possible solutions to the
present difficulties. The first—
to let the Catholic schools die—
he called “a travesty of the
tradition entrusted to us." The
second—to close either the
Catholic primary or secondary
schools—would pose overwhel
ming practical problems, in his
view.
“The best solution is to cling
to what we have, to expand on it
and to keep pace with the state
schools," he recommended.

CHAPLAIN DIES
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—His
Holiness Pope Paul VI gave
the first general audience of his
reign to more than 7,000 peo
ple in St. Peter's Basilica and
spoke to them in five langu
ages, including English.
“You are the first to offer
to Us this meeting of a beau
tiful and numerous multitude
which reflects in its number
and even more in its variety
that which makes up the cath
olicity, that is, the universal
ity of the Church”, the Pope
said to his visitors.
POPE Paul was carried in
from the side aisle on his port
able throne. He circled the main
altar of the church. As he moved
slowly he lifted his arms high
in blessing to those on both
sides of the aisles. They re
turned his gesture warm cheers
and applause.
After he left the portable
throne he mounted the steps of
the altar and took his place
on another throne facing the
Altar of the Chair at the back
of the apse. The tone of the
audience was immediately set
when it was announced that it
would begin with the Sign of
the Cross.
POPE Paul recited the words
of the Sign of the Cross and the
assembled thousands traced it
with the same slow motions that
the Pope used. He then deli
vered an identical speech in
Italian, French, German, Eng
lish and Spanish.

sian sector of Vienna to the U.
S. sector after World War IL
Msgr. Nuwer, a retired bri
gadier general in the Army
Chaplains Corps and pastor of
St. Mary of Sorrows church,
died of a heart attack July 10.
The Requiem Mass was offered
in his church.
While serving as chief of
chaplains for theU. S. Army oc
cupation forces in Austria,
Msgr. Nuwer was asked by the
Archbishop of Vienna to re
move the body of St. Josaphat'
(1580-1623) from the Red sec
tor of the city.
Accompanied by several men,
all dressed as coalminers, he
removed the saint's body from
its crypt in the church, placed
the casket under a load of coal
and drove to the U. S, sector.
The saint’s body was taken la
ter to the Vatican.
Msgr. Nuwer was ordained a
priest on December 8, 1916,
in Buffalo. He retired from the
Army Chaplains Corps in 1952
and became pastor of St. Mary

received many persons and gr
oups, but you are the first to
offer to Us this meeting of a
beautiful and numerous multi
tude which reflects in its
number and even more In its
variety that which makes up
the catholicity, that Is, the uni
versality of the Church. You
are welcome and We bless you.
“WE hope that this meeting
will leave In your spirits two
spiritual impressions, both of
which are truly Roman. The
first is the fatherhood of the
Vicar of Christ. Truly our
heart is open to you all to
receive you, to comfort and to
bless you, We say to you with
St. Paul: ’Our lips are open to
you...Our heart is wide open
to you.’ (II Corinthains, VI, 11)
“And the second impression
Is that of brotherhood, which
joins all of you here with the
single bond of faith and of
charity. In regard to this St.
Paul also teaches us: ’All are
one in Christ Jesus.’ (Galati
ans, III, 28)
“We wish We had the time
and means to salute each group
and every person but it is not
physically possible. We limit
Ourselves to use those langu
ages which We can to give a
paternal greeting.”
After finishing his formal
speech the Pope read out the
list of the Italian and Spanish
pilgrimages present. His first
greeting was to the participants
in an international Dominican
congress of the Rosary who have
been meeting in Rome* After
mentioning the name of each
group Pope Paul was cheered,
most loudly by a group of about
700 Italian soldiers, who sent
up a shout and then three cheers
that filled the vast basilica.
MSGR, William Carew, of the
English desk of the Secretariate
of State, read the names of the
American and English-speaking
groups present. The first of
these were the priests from the
North American College who
were to be ordained on the
following day.
Pope Paul motioned to Mon
signor Carew to bend over, and
gave him the following message
to be translated into English:
“The Pope wishes to give all
of you His special blessing.”
Among the other pilgrimages
mentioned was an Italo-Ameri
can one from Boston, and the
Pope again interrupted to re-
STILL IN REFUGE
call that he had visited Bos
ton three years ago and that he
extended his special blessings
to the group from that city.
Similar lists were read by
Spanish and German prelates
of the Secretariate of State.
After the groups were men
tioned the Pope rose to give
his blessing. All knelt as he
pornounced the words, turning
slowly from his extreme left
to his extreme right, using
broad, graceful gestures sli
ghtly reminiscent of Pope Pius

In The Vatican
CAMDEN, N.J., (NC)—Arch
bishop Celestine J. Damiano,
back from an audience with His
Holiness Pope Paul VI, said
“there were never more per
sons from the U. S. working in
papal diplomatic circles” than
when Cardinal Montlni was Va
tican Substitute Pro-Secretary
of State for Ordinary Affairs.
’’The present Pope was very
influential in bringing non-Ita
lians into diplomatic and sec
retariat positions,” said the
Archbishop, who is Bishop of
Camden, on his return from
Rome.
THE CAMDEN prelate, who
was Apostolic Delegate to South
Africa when the future Pope was
an official in the Vatican Sec
retariat of State, said in re
ferring to the Pope: “I have
never seen him more relaxed
in the many years I have known
him.”
‘No Mindszenty
Accord’ - Rome
VATICAN CITY, (NC)—The
Vatican has denied the truth of
reports that an agreement has
been reached on the future of
Jozsef Cardinal Mindszenty.
The Hungarian Primate has
been living in asylum in the
U.S. legation in Budapest since
1956. He took refuge there after
Soviet troops quelled the anti
communist uprising which had
freed him for a few days from
the prison where he was ser
ving a life sentence.
Orthodox See
Better Relations
MONTREAL, (NC)—ARus
sian Orthodox leader voiced op-
•timismhere about the chances
of improved relations between
his church and the Roman Ca
tholic Church.
Archbishop Ioann, Russian
Orthodox Exarch.of North and
South America, said “spring”
may have arrived in the area
of Catholic-Russian Orthodox
relations.
HE COMMENTED on the mat
ter at a press conference held
by five Russian Orthodox dele
gates to the fourth international
meeting of the World Council
of Chruchs’ Faith and Order
Commission. The Russian Or
thodox Church joined the World
Council in 1961.
Asked about chances for
closer relations between Catho
lics and Russian Orthodox
Archbishop Ioann replied:
“In Russian we have a say
ing that swallows are the first
sign of spring.
“Now two swallows have gone
south—two Russian priests at
tended the Second Vatican Coun
cil —and two swallows have gone
north—two Vatican observers
are now in Moscow participating
in the celebrations marking the
golden jubilee of the episcopal
consecration of Patriarch
Alexis.
MAYBE THIS is a sign of
spring.”
The Archbishop also said the
desire for religious unity is
strong in all sections of the
Russian Orthodox Church.
Bishop Vladimir of Geneva
noted that he had attended the
funeral of Pope John XXIII and
the coronation of His Holiness
Pope Paul VI.
“When we heard that the
Vatican was sending two re
presentatives to Moscow we
were very happy,” he said.
“We hope that this particular
action will help our relations

Questioned as to the freedom
of churchmen in Russia to cri
ticize conditions they consider
wrong, Archpriest Vitaly Boro
voy, a theology professor at
Leningrad Academy, said:
"WHENEVER and whereever
possible we confess our Chris
tian convictions. Our faithful
have given during the years
many examples of their devo
tion to Christ. In this they
could be examples to other
churches.
Those of other churches
should ask themselves how they
would'have acted under these
special circumstances. If they
thought they could do better,
they should come and show
us."
