JULY 30, 1964 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.” Before approving the me as- GRIFFIN GLASS COMPANY AUTO GLASS AND ACCESSORIES INSTALLED WINDOW GLASS-PLATE GLASS- MIRRORS - STORE FRONTS PHONE 228-8631 701 E.

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.

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. THE THIRD matter of busi- CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 ‘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.” MC DONALD CHAPEL BEST WISHES SACRED HEART PARISH GAIAXIE FAIRUNE FALCON WHITE COLUMNS ON HILL STREET RANDALL & BLAKELY, INC.

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.
