GOVERNORS HAVE VOICE
Senate Approves Poverty
Bill With Amendments
WASHINGTON (NC) — The
Senate has passed the admini
stration’s “war on poverty”
bill after amending it to per
mit state governors to veto
participation by private
agencies and Institutions in
several of its key programs.
However, the Senate rejected
(July 23) another amendment
that would have barred funds
under the bill’s community act
ion program from going to
church-related schools.
THE $947.5 million measure
would focus to a large extent
on programs for the training
of youth. It would establish,
among other things, a job corps
for 40,000 young people aged
16-21 who would live for up
to two years in conservation
camps and training centers;
a work - training program for
200,000 youths aimed at in
creasing their employability
and helping them stay in school;
a work - study program for
needy college students; and
community action programs
mobilizing public and private
community resources for an at
tack on poverty.
The bill also calls for aid
to farm families and small
businesses, basic adult edu
cation efforts, and creation of
a domestic peace corps to be
called “Vista.”

ure, however, the Senate
amended it to permit governors
to veto plans providing for con
tracts between the Federal anti
poverty agency and private in
stitutions and organizations in
their states under Titles I and
IL Title I includes the jobs
corps and the work - study
and work - training plans. Title
II covers community action and
adult basic education.
The amendment was viewed
as a concession to states’rights
sentiment and had the backing
of the administration. It was
approved by a vote of 80 - 7,
compared with a vote of 62-33
for final passage of the bilL
SHORTLY after, the Senate
rejected by voice vote an
amendment by Sen. Sam J.
Ervin, Jr., of North Carolina
that would have kept com
munity action program funds
from going to “any school or
school system which is con
trolled by or affiliated with
any church or related in
stitution.”
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of
Minnesota, opposing the Ervin
amendment, said the provision
adopted earlier giving gover
nors veto power over partici
pation by private agencies and
institutions should take care of
“any serious problem” that
might arise.

HEAVY GROUNDWORK LAID
Coming Council Session
Seen Highly Productive
BY JAMES C. O'NEILL
(N. C. W. C. NEWSSERVICE)
VATICAN CITY—The outlook
for the third session of the Sec
ond Vatican Council is that it
should be the most productive
session yet.
The productivity of the up
coming session of the council,
which opens on Sept. 14, can be
logically expected for several
reasons. Most significant is the
fact that the 13 schemata, or
projects to be acted on by the
council Fathers, have been
heavily edited to make them
clearer and shorter.
SECONDLY, much work has
already been done. During the
second session of the council,
six out of eight chapters of the
schema on the Church were de
bated and discussion ended.
Likewise* the three chapters of
the schema on ecumenism have
passed the initial phase and four
chapters of the schema on the
bishops were also discussed.
Lastly, various new additions
to the regulations of the council
have been made to deal with
speeches which are repetitious
or which present nothing new.
These new additions are im
portant because during the sec
ond session of the council, its
progress was slowed greatly
by speeches that continued to go
over the same ground that had
already been extensively cover
ed.
THE FIRST matter of busi
ness on the council floor, after
opening ceremonies on Sept. 14,
will be the schema on the
Church. Since the first six chap
ters were voted on and sent back
for revision during the last ses
sion, only two final chapters will
be discussed on the floor.
Amendments on the first six
chapters will be introduced dur
ing the discussions, but the
amendments themselves are not
subject to discussion and the
Fathers will be asked to either
approve or reject them.
The first of the two final chap
ters deals with the vocation to
holiness within the Church and
the union of Christians with the
Church in heaven. The second
deals with Our Lady in the mys
tery of Christ and the Church.
The chapter was added to the
schema during the second ses
sion after the Fathers voted to
include it within the schema
rather than treat it as a sepa
rate schema.
AS IT stands, the schema on
the Church consists of 220
pages. This includes the text of
the six chapters examined last
year and the text of the same six
chapters with the amendments
made by the Theological Com
mission on the basis of the sug
gestions or criticisms made by
the Fathers during the debates
in October, 1963. The two texts
are printed in parallel so that
the Fathers can easily note the
differences.
Also included in the volume
are footnotes for every chapter;
detailed reports on the various
numbers into which the six
chapters are divided; separate,
general reports for each of the
six chapters and an additional
report to explain how the origi
nal text was revised to conform
with the interventions of the
Fathers.
LASTLY, the volume includes
the texts of the two chapters yet
to be discussed completely.
Council officials report that the
texts of these two chapters were
drawn up in line with the various
comments and ideas proposed
by the Fathers during the sec-
ond^ session as they made their
general comments on the sche
ma as a whole. Therefore, it is
hoped that the two chapters as
they stand will find wide agree
ment.
Among important matters in
the schema is the concept of
collegiality, that is “the college
of bishops,” of the relations of
bishops to bishops, of the rela
tions of the pope to bishops and
of the bishops to the pope within
the divine structure of the
Church. During the last session
of the council, these relation
ships became central points of
discussion.
AT ONE point a sort of “straw
vote” was taken. It had no leg
islative effect, but it did indi
cate the prevailing opinion of the
more than 2,200 Fathers taking
part. By an overwhelming ma
jority the Fathers approved of
the concept of collegiality; i.e.,
that all bishops are to be con
sidered members of the body or
college of bishops and that that
college of bishops succeeded the
college of the Apostles and
share with the pope in the gov
erning of the Church.
While the text and the revi
sions as drawn up by the Theo
logical Commission still re
main under the seal of council
secrecy, people with access to
them report that the majority
of the Fathers will be pleased
with the amended text and parti
cularly with the section dealing
with collegiality.
ONCE THE discussion of two
chapters of the schema on the
Church is completed, the agenda
calls for discussion of the sche
ma on the pastoral duties of
bishops. This schema today is a
combination of an earlier sche
ma on the bishops and another
on the government of diocese
and the care of souls.
Four chapters of the first
schema have already been de
bated and the council Fathers
will be asked only to vote on the
amendments. The second por
tion of the composite document
will have to* be discussed and
then referred to the commission
for revision.

‘THESE TROUBLED DAYS
New York Clergymen Call
For Prayer In Race Crisis
NEW YORK (RNS)— Calls
for calm in the face of racial
tension that erupted in riots
in Harlem, Brooklyn and up
state Rochester were heard in
churches and synagogues
throughout the metropolitan
area.
Protestant, Catholic and
Jewish chairmen of the Com
mittee of Religious Leaders
of the City of New York had
requested the approximately
7,500 clergymen and rabbis they
represent to preach on racial
peace.
A LETTER sent to the 402
Catholic parishes at the re
quest of Francis Cardinal Spel
lman, Archbishop of New York,
asked that “appropriate pray
ers” be said “in these troubl
ed days.”
A specia 1 message urging
prayers “for Christ's church
that its shame may be someday
transformed into His glory”
was sent by the Manhattan Div
ision of the Protestant Coun
cil of the City of New York
to 75 Manhattan Protestant
congregations.
AMONG the many sermons,
the Rev. Austin McRaven War
ner, executive secretary of the
Protestant Council’s Manhattan
Division, declared at West
End Presbyterian church that
the anger displayed in the
riots in Harlem was “essen
tial” and “healthy.”
“Far worse would be a con
tinuation of the apathy and help
less, hopeless despair that
has so characterized the pow
erless minority of the ghetto
community,” he said. “Deplore
the violence and hatred, yes,
but not the anger, for it may
be a prelude to the dawn that
must come.”
AT ST. Patrick’s Cathedral,
Cardinal Spellman presided at a
Mass attended by more than
2,000 persons. Father George
B. Fischer of the Holy Cross
Fathers' Mission Band of New
Bedford, Mass., led a prayer
that was offered by Pope Pius
XII during World War IL The
prayer ended:
“May all injustice be re
paired and the rule of right re
stored. May discord and bit
terness vanish from the hearts
of men. May true peace, or
dered and lasting, rise again
and flourish in the serene
security of a new and harmon
ious prosperity, so that in it,
all of us in this city may be
united as brothers, clinging for
ever to the supreme good, in
submission to You. Amen.”
A SERMON entitled “Viol
ence and Hatred will get us
Nowhere” was delivered by
Pope Lauds
m
Laity Role
FATIMA, Portugal (RNS) --
Pope Paul VI, in a message
extolling the virtues of the
Catholic Action movement
around the world, emphasized
that its growth demonstrated the
increased collaboration of the
laity with bishops.
He said that the means of
development and procedures of
Catholic Action may vary in
each country, but its ultimate
objectives remain the same.
“We desire that Catholic Act
ion exist and remain substant
ially the same as our vene
rated predecessors have out
lined in the last decade,” the
pontiff said.“Catholic Action be
longs by now to ! the situa
tional design of the Church.”

of All Souls. The church is the
congregation's temporary loca
tion until its own new edifice
. is completed.
In addition to sermons, such
efforts were underway as a pro
gram started by the Lutheran
Human Relations Association—
visits by white laymen and their
families to Negro churches in
Harlem and the Bedford -Stuy-
vesant section of Brooklyn, “to
show that there is unity in Christ
that violence cannot obscure.”
THE REV. Richard J. Neu-
haus, association chairman,
said the ore day experimental
visitation project may be con
tinued.
At Buffalo, N. Y., 70 miles
west of Rochester, efforts to
stave off possible racial vio
lence included a call by Mayor
Chester Kowal for a day or
week of prayer and steps to-
increase communication bet
ween the Negro and white com
munities.
In riot-torn Rochester, about
140 suburban families offered
to house children from Negro
sections until the emergency
passes. The program was being
coordinated through the First
Presbyterian church with the
help of other local congrega
tions.
