7 T T 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 NELSON RIVES REALTY 3669 CLAIRMONT ROAD ■I CHAMBLEE, GEORGIA REAL ESTATE, INSURANCE SALES, RENTALS RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTY PHONE: 451-2323 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.

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 New Golden Echoes Staff At St. Pius TWm.Terence 0 Brien knows life insurance Suite 715 270 Pchtr Bldg.

LaGrange Class An Inquirer’s Class, for both Catholics and non-Catholics, is being held each Wednesday night at St. Peter’s, LaGrange, by the pastor, Fr. Joseph G. Beltran. Fr. Beltran an- nouces that the response has been gratifying; 24 members are now enrolled In the class, which will continue for several more weeks. 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 ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE draw in region play, the Lions rank third in 2-AA North. coach George B.
