"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 PLAN NOW TO k VOTE MAY 6 r and Vote FOR The Legal Sale of Mixed Drinks Atlanta’s Growth and Progress depends on your ballot CITIZENS for PROGRESS 919 CliS Bank Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. 30303 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.” D’Youville Names Four Four students of area grade schools have won partial scholarships to D’Youville Aca demy, Sister Mary Raphael, Principal, announced.
