WASHINGTON (NC)-Six na
tional Catholic social action and
educational agencies have
thrown their support behind an
"all-out war on poverty"
spearheaded by the Federal
government.
"The stimulus of the Federal
government is welcome and in
deed necessary," Msgr. George
G. Higgins told the House ad hoc
subcommittee considering the
administration’s proposed
$962.5 million anti - poverty
program.
MSGR. HIGGINS, director of
the Social Action Department,
National Catholic Welfare Con
ference, spoke also for the
NCWC Education Department,
the National Conference of
Catholic Charities, the Bis
hops Committee for Migrant
Workers, the National Catho
lic Rural Life Conference and
the Bishops’ Committee for the

Spanish Speaking.
While generally backing the
aims of the administration bill
(H.R. 10443), Msgr. Higgins
raised questions about its edu
cation provisions, which would
put special elementary and sec
ondary education programs in
the hands of public educational
agencies exclusively.
"RELIGIOUS schools enrol
hundreds of thousands of child
ren who come from economi
cally deprived homes and who
are in need of special educa
tional assistance,” he said.
He cited figures on the num
ber of parochial school child
ren from economically depres
sed areas in several large
cities; Washington, 17,000; Bal
timore, 11,000; New Orleans,
11,000; Detroit, 10,000; New
York, 21,000.
THE PAROCHIAL schools
are already doing much for
such children and could do more
"if the opportunity is afford
ed,” he said.
"The intent of this bill is to
mobilize all financial and hu
man resources in eradicating
poverty," he said. "Surely,
then, it should be possible to
devise some way of utilizing the
facilities and personnel of paro
chial schools, not for the sake
of the school— these programs
are actually a burden to the
school—but for the sake of the
children.”
MSGR. HIGGINS noted that
the administration bill con
tains a section stating that "no
child shall be denied the bene
fit" of an education program
under the anti-poverty war be
cause he does not attend pub
lic school. He called this a
"partial attempt’ ’ to ensure
equal treatment but question
ed whether it "will in prac
tice be effective."
Msgr. Higgins said the "ba
sic criterion” for participa
tion "should be need, and that
need...is just as evident among
the children in parochial
schools."
HE CITED to the subcom
mittee statements pledging sup
port of the war on poverty by
the nation’s Catholic Charities
directors and th e executive
committee of the National Cath
olic Rural Life Conference. He
said the charities directors had
concerned themselves in addi
tion with the needs of segments
of the population not specifi
cally covered by the present
legislation, While the rural life
group gave particular atten
tion to the "plight of the over
12 million rural people who
live in dire poverty."
The Catholic spokesman said
the Catholic Church and all re
ligious groups have "always
been intensely interested in the
poor."
BUT, HE added, action by the
Federal government is now
needed because "the dimen
sions of the problem far out
strip the resources of the chur
ches and other private agencies
and in some areas also outstrip
the resources of local and state
governments."
Msgr. Higgins called unem
ployment and the availability of
jobs, "ourNo. 1 economic prob
lem.”
"AVOIDING JOB discrimina
tion is but one step,” he said.
"It is equally vital to be sure
that work is available and that
the poor are educated and train
ed to do useful work."
In fighting poverty, he said,
"we ought to put major empha
sis on basic economic reforms,
no t to the neglect of social re
form and additional remedial
services for the poor, but as
the necessary prerequisites
for their long-range effective
ness.”
MSGR. HIGGINS said Ameri
ca has engaged in foreign aid
to the needy throughout the
world "as a matter of con
science and religious convic
tion."
"This same generosity and
sensitivity to the demands of
conscience must motivate all
Americans to join ranks in an
all-out war against poverty at
home," he said.
QUESTIONING after the Mon
signor's prepared statement
centered mainly on the educa
tion issue. The NCWC official
stressed that the agencies he
represented were not trying to
tell Congress how to word the
legislation but rather hoped that
it would find a formula to ful
fill the purposes of the bill-
maximum aid to all needy child
ren.
He noted that this was the
philosophy behind the Federal
school lunch program, which
benefits children in both public
and private schools.
"IN TIMES like these," he
said, "basic remedial educa
tion is even more important
than providing a free lunch,
important as that is, and if Con
gress has been able to workout
a formula making it possible
for parochial school children to
share in the school lunch pro
gram under the Constitution, it
should be able to find a way to
enable them to acquire the skills
needed to lift themselves out of
poverty.”
Msgr. Higgins expressed the
belief that, simply as a practi
cal matter, confining remedial
education to public schools —
even if parochial students were
invited to take part in the pro
grams—would in many cases
not be effective.
HE POINTED to the low mor
ale and Initiative of the econo
mically and socially disadvant
aged child and said such a child
would not be likely to apply for
special training in a strange
and perhaps distant school dif
ferent from the one he custo
marily attends.
In reply to a question about
the feasibility of the youth work
camps to be established under
the bill, Msgr. Higgins said that
if Congress concluded that if
more camps were not the right
approach to youth training then
some other new program would
have to be found. He said ex
perience has shown that the poor
in many cases lack the motiva
tion and Incentive to take part
in existing manpower after re
training programs.
HE ALSO expressed concern
that adequate spiritual facilities
be provided for youths in such
camps.
Committee members argued
among themselves over the is
sue of birth control during ques
tioning of the Catholic spokes
man.
REP. CHARLES E. Goodell
of New York suggested that
community programs under the
bill might Include tax-paid birth
control. But Rep. Phil M. Land
rum of Georgia, chairing the
hearing, said "the bill as writ
ten does not contemplate any
such action.”
