SHRIVER DIRECTS
6 War On Poverty 9
Speed Task Force
WASHINGTON (NC)—On the
door of a one-time hospital in
downtown Washington a sheet
of white paper is taped to the
glass. On it is scrawled un
evenly: 'Task Force on Po
verty."
Inside, President Johnson's
"war on poverty" is being gear
ed up-*-at high speed and some
confusion.
Wall clocks have been hur
riedly tied with string to coat
racks. Building materials to
partition off new cubbyholes
lie in hallways. Handmade signs
for offices and their occupants
are the rule. Offices are awash
in paper work, piled on desks
and stuffed in boxes.
IN ANOTHER building seve
ral blocks away, Sargent Shri-
ver, the 48-year-old brother-
in-law of the late President
Kennedv, reportedly is spend
ing 12 and 14 hours a day pre
paring to launch the program for
which $947.5 million is budgeted
the first year.
As in the Peace Corps, which
he continues to direct and in
whose headquarters he has kept
his office, Shriver dominates
the Office of Economic Op
portunity as the antipoverty
effort is formally known.
His associates try to imitate
Shriver’s work hours as they
bring into being a sweeping
program they hope will raise
living conditions for millions
of Americans.
THEY WILL directly admi
nister or coordinate with other
branches of the federal govern
ment projects to get school
dropouts to attend conservation
camps or urban training cen
ters; to obtain volunteers to as
sist mental health, migrant
worker, Indian and other federal
help programs; to start local

communities on their own wars
against poverty; to give needy
families 15-year loans; to give
work experiences to unem
ployed youths; to help pay for
part-time work by college stu
dents from low - income fa
milies; to assist heads of fami
lies on relief to get job and
training opportunities; and to
encourage small business to
hire the chronically unemployed
Cooperation in the program of
both public and private agen
cies, including those which are
church-related, has been ur
ged repeatedly by President
Johnson and Shriver.
Spokesmen for Shriver told
that the stress on this coopera
tion is pointed up in the office’s
determination to give priority
to joint public-private com
munity action programs over
plans proposed by a single
agency.
Community action is a $315-
million project to give federal
technical and financial assist
ance to local efforts aimed at
curbing social ills such as illi
teracy, unemployment, poor
health and dilapidated housing.
"T WILL require a network
of anti-poverty programs that
are varied, while they are co
ordinated," a spokeman said.
"Local talent and leadership
must mobilize the public and
private resources. The effort
can be administered through
public or private, nonprofit
agencies or a combination,"
he said.
Inquires already have come
from community action groups
in more than 100 cities, 17
state or regional groups and
hundreds of small towns ask
ing how to apply for the office's
assistance—which can be as
much as 90% of the cost in the
first two years.
A manual to guide groups
seeking such assistance will be
available by the end of Sept
ember. It will suggest various
programs and means of enlist
ing all appropriate community
groups in them.
Although church agencies and
institutions can be part of com
munity action programs, Shri
ver’s office professes confid
ence that Church-State pro
blems will not seriously ham
per the effort.

SCHOOL ANNUAL
BY FATHER JOHN DONNELLY
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY—The ecu
menical council’s draft text of
the celebrated declaration on
religious liberty proclaims
that the freedom to follow God's
call is the peak of human dig
nity and the foundation and safe
guard of other freedoms.
If adopted as it now stands
the declaration would proclaim
the right of every man to follow
his own conscience even if it
leads him 1 into error, provided
he forms his conscience under
the guidance of prudence and
sincerity.
DETAILS of the proposed de
claration, drafted by the Secre
tariat for Promoting Christian
Unity, were released in sum
mary form by the council press
office as debate on the docu
ment began (Sept. 23). The
text was introduced at the coun
cil during last year’s session
but failed to reach the floor
for discussion. The "sum
mary" runs to 5,000 words.
The text in defining the term
religious liberty distinguishes
between the freedom of the in
dividual in his relations with
God and his freedom in rela

dividual in his relations with
God and his freedom in rela
tion with other men. The decla
ration is concerned exclusive
ly with the latter, "othermen"
being considered either as in
dividuals or as members of re
ligious groups.
IT STA TES that the foundation
of man’s religious freedom
"comes from the very serious
obligation of respecting human
dignity and following the law
of God according to the dicta
tes of a conscience sincere
ly formed."
According to the press office
summary, the declaration as it
stands is reminiscent of the
phrasing in Pope John XXIII’s
encyclical on peace, Pacem in
Terris. The encyclical states
In its first section; "Every hu
man being has the right to honor
God according to the dictates
of an upright conscience, and the
right to profess his religion
privately and publicly."
THE DRAFT declaration re
cognizes for religious groups
authentic religious liberty In
those things which develop
spiritual life among pnen, both
private and public.
It demands the establish
ment in society of the condi
tions necessary to guarantee
this.
The problem is an urgent one
it states, noting that closer
bonds between people of divers e
cultures and religions as well
as increased awareness of
personal responsibility have
resulted fro m the evolution
of modem law and society.
IT PLACES emphasis on the
objective truth— absolute an
universal - of divine law "in
such a way as to exclude all
danger of subjectivism and in-
differentism."
Regarding the question as to
when religious rights may be
restricted, the text states the
principle that it is the duty of
governments, in matters of re
ligion, to reconcile and harmon
ize things so that the exer
cise of the rights of another.
IN THIS connection it recogn
izes society’s right to restrict
religious freedom as legiti
mate only when this exer
cise is "in grave conflict with
the purpose of society." It adds:
"Consequently, it is unlawful
for state authorities to discrim
inate against religion in any
SCORELESS TIE
way. It Is on the contrary their
duty to protect and encourage
religious liberty.
"Civil authorities have no
direct power to regulate rela
tionships of citizens with God.
Hence they may not subject
religious groups to the temporal
aims of the state. On the con
trary, it contributes to the com
mon welfare when conditions
are created which will favor
religious life."
THE summary makes a dis
tinction between the right to
propogate one’s own religion
sincerely and honestly and
abuses of this right when
"dishonest means" are em
ployed in religious propaganda.
Concerning missionary act-
Gospel according to the
Church’s mandate from Christ,
the text urges "love, prudence
and patience, in accordance with
the ways of God." It condemns
all corecion, direct or in
direct, citing the traditional
teaching of the Church that by
its very nature an act of
faith must be fully free.
PROSELYTISM Is condenned.
Father Thomas Stransky,
C. S. P., of the Christian unity
secretariat defined prosely-
tism as using "bad means"
to achieve conversion. Among
the "bad means’* cited by the
American priest were "ca
jolery, briberty, blackening the
name of other religious,
or whitewashing one’s own.
(He also specified the luring
of hungry persons into the
Faith by giving them food-
so-called "rice" Christianity.
Father Stransky siad that the
terms used here are the same
as those used by the World
Council of Churches. He said
that ecumenists are just beg
inning to discuss their impli
cations.)
THE text proclaims that re
ligious liberty is to be respec
ted "not only by Christians
and for Christians, but by all
and for all—persons, indi
viduals and religious groups."
The press office summary
states that the document ends
with the ringing assertion:
"There can be no peaceful coex
istence in the human family
in the world today without re
ligious liberty in society."
Pi-Hi Lions, Sandy
Springs Stalemate
BY GREG BECKHAM
St. Pius X’s Golden Lions
journeyed to Sandy Springs’
home field Friday Sept. 25, and
the teams fought to a 0-0 stale
mate. Defense, which has
carried both teams thus far,
again was the key factor.
Each bail club got close, but
the opposing linesmen dug in
and thwarted the opportunities.
On their first drive, the Lions
marched to the Panther 20, and
there things stalled.
IN THE final moments of the
half, the horns team reached
the 10 yard line. The Lion de
fenses held their ground though,
and took possession of the pig
skin.
Second half action saw both
teams moving the ball. Des
pite this, neither could man
age a score.
THIS tie leaves the Gold and
White eith an overall record
of 3-0-2. With one win and a
