Rachal, Jr., of Xavier University, New Orleans, as recruiting consul tants. TTie two Xavier officials will work with the staff of FHA and other organizations within HHFA to assist in the recruit ment of professional, technical and clerical personnel in the Housing Agency’s offices thro ughout the South and Southwest. They are the first representat ives of a Southern Negro Col lege to be hired to assist the government with the recruit ment of qualified Negroes. ther of Vietnamese scientist Buu Hoi, who is ambassador to several African countries, was presented with her sister to some 30 foreign correspon dents in a Buddhist pagoda li brary. The Buddhists allowed no Vietnamese Journalist to at tend. Mrs. Dieu Hue’s voice was almost inaudible. Hence there was no way of checking the in terpreter’s translation. He said her purpose in burn ing herself would be to "per suade the government to carry out our five requests." (The government claims they are be ing carried out.) "ACCORDING to the moral doctrine of Buddhism, is it not forbidden to destroy life?" this correspondent asked. After a whispered consulta tion with the old lady, the bonze replied: ‘ 'According to her knowledge, the act is not against the doc trine of Buddhism." He said she had read of a Buddhist hero of the past who had burned himself to death. The bonze-interpreter quoted her also as saying: "Up to now the high-ranking Buddhist bon zes have not given her permis sion to burn herself." When this correspondent ask ed if their unwillingness was based on the fourth principle of the Buddhist "Eightfold Perfect Way," which forbids the taking of life, the bonze replied for Mrs. Dieu Hue: "There are many Buddhist teachings.” Asked whether Buddhist su periors had given approval to Quang Due, the bonze who burn ed himself to death on June 11, the press officer answered that he was not authorized to reply to that. FOE OF INJUSTICE BATON ROUGE, La. (RNS)— Bishop Robert E. Tracy of Ba ton Rouge announced plans to desegregate parochial schools in his diocese, beginning with the junior and senior classes of four Baton Rouge area high schools in September, 1964. In a letter read in all dio cesan churches, Bishop Tracy said the action had been taken in line with "the Christian con cept of social justice," and "is supported by the highest religious authority," THE MOVE toward paro chial school integration was de scribed by the prelate as "an initial step." Others steps, he said, would be taken "until all Catholic institutions of the diocese, educational and other wise, are progressively freed of all limitations not in harmony with the stated policy of the diocese." Bishop Tracy told his flock that he would not try to pace Catholic school desegregation to that of public schools. "Ours might be more rapid," he said. Public school desegregation is scheduled to begin in the 12th grade in East Baton Rouge Parish (county) this fall, and a grade-a-year thereafter. BISHOP TRACY said the parochial school desegregation also would have been effected this year if registration for classes was not over. plans. Catholic policy has been not to desegregate parochial schools until public schools were desegregated. New Or leans and Baton Rouge public schools are the only ones in the state under specific dese gregation orders. The integration ordered here came close in the wake of si milar orders in two other Ca tholic dloceseq, in the deep South. A month ago the dioceses of Savannah, Ga., and Charles ton, S. C., announced plans for racial integration of their schools. Bishop Thomas J. Mc Donough directfd integration of Catholic schools in the Savannah diocese in September while Bis hop Francis F. Reh of Char leston ordered integration of Catholic schools in September, 1964. CLARK TWO COMPLETE PLANTS 1007 Peachtree Si.. N. E. - TR. 8-7391 3189 Maple Drive. N. E..
