7RIEST-DELEGATE SAYS Economic Growth Top Goal Of United Nations LNlTsD NATIONS, N.Y. (NC) The most important issue with wich the United Nations has to eal is economic deve lopment This is the view of Father r rancisco Herrera, UN delegatefrom Costa Rica. His cuntry, like the great majorit>of UN members, at taches geat importance to the forthcormg conference on trade ail development to be held in Gneva in 1964. "ECONMIC AND social de- velopmenare basic conditions for peacd’ Father Herrera maintains*'And it is most im portant nt to dissociate the question f social progress from ectnmic progress. It is absurd terry for economic ad- vancemer. first, as many ex perts thit. The human being cannot beivided.” Father errera agrees that there has >een increasing re cognition cthe importance of social .d'elopment in UN bodies. But;e feels there needs to be more; THE REST-DELEGATE speaks withreat authority on social mattes. He organized the school ofocial work at the University cSan Jose, Costa Rica, 17 yes ago and has been its dir«tor ever since. He told thN.C.W.C. News Service in a. ftcial interview: "It is goodo meet people from differentmntries and to discover how many common in terests we share. After all, hu man beings are the same every where. What makes it difficult to reach a common point of view on many issues, however, is the fact that all nations are seeking their own self-interest first.” DELEGATES SOMETIMES see things differently from their governments back home, Father Herrera observed and a con scientious delegate often en counters a problem in voting where a "question of basic jus tice and truth is in conflict with instructions from his gov ernment.” He was happy to note that this had never been his problem. Father Herrera's participa tion in UN activities is by no means confined to representing his country at the Assembly. He is a member of Costa Ri ca’s National Commission for the United Nations Education al, Scientific and Cultural or ganization (UNESCO), its Na tional Committee for the UN, and he is president of its Na tional Committee for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF). The University of San Jose is a member of the latter. FATHER HERRERA had high praise for Alice Schaffer, UNI CEF's representative for Cen tral America. He praised UNI CEF aid for developing com munity centers throughout Cos ta Rica. UNICEF has also done important work with the minis FIED A.

The UN is generally well known in Costa Rica, he con tinued, largely through the ef forts of the National Commit tee for the UN, which distri butes information through the schools and colleges and pro vides speakers for lectures and conferences. COSTA RICA HAS few if any of the problems with which the UN social and human rights committee has been dealing, Father Herrera explained. "We have a very good pro gram in housing; our Institute for Housing is being helped to some degree by the Allience for Progress. As for the ad vancement of women, they have had civil rights in my country since 1884 and political rights since 1949, and they have the same educational opportunities as the men. We have several lawmakers and professional women. “I THINK IT is a very good idea for women to have a pro fession, even though their pri mary concern is that of wife and mother. Women are highly respected in my country. None of this respect for them has been lost as they gained equal rights and opportunities.” Father Herrera feels the adoption of the declaration a against discrimination is very important. Costa Rica happily does not have a racial prob lem, however, he added. AMONG COSTA RICA’S pro blems Father Herrera cited an increase in civil marriages, and the "growing influence of materialism and hedonism even among Christians.” Assistance to needy families in the cities and care of abandoned child ren are the major areas of so cial work concern. QUIET HUMOR, realism and serenity mark the conversa tions of this Costa Rican rep resentative, who will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood on Dec. 17. He took his mas ters' degree in social work at the Catholic University of America in 1948 and, says he, "I have been teaching ever since.” In addition to founding and di recting the School of Social Work at the university, Father Herrera was for seven years rector of the seminary'. He or ganized the minor seminaries, teaches in the school of Nur sing, and serves on innumer able boards in addition to the UN commission mentioned above. All of this is belied by his calm and unhurried manner. HE ESCAPES ON Saturdays, he says, when he visits his 77- year-old mother, who is a "phe nomenal walker.” She lives on a little farm in the mountains and he goes there to relax. He likes to read history, and he is a mystery fan too. His favo rites are Conan Doyle and Aga tha Christie. FOR THAT SPECIAL CCASION ...

FEDERAL ASSISTANCE College Bill Won’t End Church-State Aid Issue WASHINGTON (NC)—Appr oval of Federal aid for class room construction at all U. S. Colleges is a major congress ional move in the controversy over government help for priv ate education. But both sponsores and criti cs of the measure agree more discussion will be heard on the Church-State issue raised by its equal treatment of public, private and church-related col leges. ADOPTED BY the House on Nov. 6 by a 258 to 93 vote and by the Senate on Dec. 10 by a 54 to 27 ballot, the bill establishes a five year, $1.2 billion program. Colleges can seek Federal assistance to help finance con struction of non-religious fac ilities. They can ask for eith er outright grants for one- third of a project’s cost or- repayable loans for up to 75% of cost. THE MONEY CAN be applied only to libraries and buildings to be used for instruction or research in the natural and phy sical sciences, mathematics, modern foreign languages and engineering. The bill specifically bars use of Federal funds for any faci- ROME REPORTS lity to be used for "sectarian instruction,” for religious worship or primarily for any part of the program of a sc hool or department of divinity. AFTER SENATE passage, President Johnson immediately spoke high praise of the bill. "The Congress,” he said, "is well on its way to doing more for education than any Congress since the Land Grant College Act passed 100 years ago,” he said. The measure was strongly backed by the late President Kennedy. His successor has sources as playing a major role in getting it adopted before Con gress adjourns. EVEN THOUGH the bill includes church - related col leges on an equal footing with all others, this fact does not end Senate controversy over al leged Church-State issues, the matter which dominated Senate debate. The bill passed the Senate under a truce in the controve rsy, A few days before final Senate action on the measure, its sponsor, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, introduced a separ ate bill which would give tax payers the legal power to block in Federal courts any assista nce for church-related col leges. A BLOC of southerners, led by Sen. Sam J. Ervin of North Carolina, wanted such a prov ision in he bill itself. The Se nate earlier had approved this approach. But such a "judicial review” provision was scrapped in Hou se Senate conferences on a compromise version of the bill. Morse’s separate bill took the steam out of efforts to keep it in the measure. MORSE TOLD the Senate his subcommittee on education will take up the review issue next year. He argued successfully that extensive hearings, with testimony from ranking consti tutional experts, was necessary before the Senate makes up its mind on whether to permit in dividual taxpayers the unusual power to block Federal expen ditures. Denial of Federal benefits to church-related and other pri vate colleges would have a ser ious impact on U. S. higher ed ucation. Most American colle ges are privately operated and a majority of these private in stitutions are related to churc hes. THE U. S. OFFICE of Educ ation has reported that in 1962 there were 2,100 colleges and universities. Of these 1,357 were privately operated. The U. S. office said the na tion has 842 Protestant, 335 Catholic, 9 interdenominati onal, 8 Jewish, 6 Latter-day Saints, 2 Russian Orthodox, 1 Greek Orthodox and 1 Unitari an. Vatican Shunning Holy Land Issues ROME (RNS)—A Rome Radio broadcast, commenting on what it said were Arab and Israeli attempts to secure political Pope Paul’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land in January, stressed that so far the Vatican has suc ceeded in preventing it from being "deflected from its pure ly religious aim.” It said the Vatican, "by very careful backstage contacts, has succeeded in allaying Arab fears that the pilgrimage may involve recognition of Israel by th e Holy See and also Israel's fears that.the Holy See favors Arab interests.” THE BROADCAST stressed that the Vatican so far has not recognized Israel and has con sistently favored the interna tionalization of the Holy Places in Israel and Jordan. Meanwhile, a broadcast from the Arab radio station in Je rusalem’s Old City said the lo cal Arab paper, Al-Manar, had quoted Foreign Minister Anton Atallah of Jordan as saying the Pope’s pilgrimage would bring "general blessings” to the country and that the pontiff's contact with the people of Jor dan would draw his attention to the Arab Israeli conflict. IT ADDED THAT Premier Atallah would head a Jordanian delegation leaving for Vatican City shortly to discuss arrange ments for the papal visit and to accompany the Pope on his tour in Jordan. In another broadcast, Israeli Radio reported that Yosef Nah- mias, Israeli’s Inspector Gen eral of Police, and Theodor Kol- lek, director general of the Prime Minister’s office and chairman of a special inter- ministerial committee prepar ing for the Pope’s pilgrimage, would also be in Rome for con sultations with Vatican offi cials. It said telecommunications officials are making arrange ments for about 1,000 press, radio and television reporters expected to accompany the Pope. Special high-speed trans mission systems for press re ports, pictures and television are being installed, it noted. Christmas Play NEW YORK (NC)—"In Such a Night,” a Christmas play by Robert Crean, will be telecast Dec. 22 at I p.m., on "Direc tions ’64-A Catholic Perspec tive." The one-hour program is coproduced by the National Council of Catholic Men and the public affairs department of the American Broadcasting Co. THE AMERICAN Council on Education, a federation of individual institutions and of organizations representing higher education, vigorously supported the college aid bill, as did U. S. Commissioner of Education Francis Keppei. However, three public sc hool groups fought it. They charged that its inclusion of private schools would under mine public education and "op en the door to Federal tax sup port of private education at all levels.” Four chairs will be plac ed on the right hand side of the section. Cardinals and other members of the papal party will sit in what is usually the tourist class sec tion. NO CHANGES will be made in the lounge, and the usual waiters will serve. The crew has not been specially chosen, and will remain the same as those who would normally fly that plane on that date, Jan. 4. But the ste wardesses are receiving spe cial instructions on which mem bers of the party take prece dence—in other words, who should be served first. Pope Paul’s plane will identi fy itself to control towers along its route with the call letters "AZX." THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1963 GEORGIA BULLETIN PAGE 3 Radio Will Keep Pope In Contact VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope Paul VI will be able to keep in constant touch by radio with his Secretariat of State during his flight to the Holy Land. Matters requiring an imme diate decision will not have to wait even until his flight of two and a half hours is completed. A RADIO IS being placed at his disposition aboard the Ali talia (Italian Airlines) DC-8 jet that will ake him to the Jordanian capital of Amman. A similar linkup will be in stalled in the Apostolic Dele gation in Jerusalem, where he will be staying. The Pope's plane will be bla zoned with the white, red and green flag of Italy and the white and yellow papal flag with the crossed keys of St. Peter. THE POPE WILL travel in what is usually the first class section. But all seats on the left hand side of this section will be removed save one arm chair for the Pope. If the Pope wants a companion near him another chair can be set down there. COGGINS SHOE STORE SHOES FOR THE FAMILY 46 W. PARK SQ.
