ations in the Congo and the
Middle East, operations that
are not approved by Russia.
In an effort to solve the UN’s
financial difficulties, the Unit
ed States invoked the UN Char
ter which would strip member
states of their General Assem
bly votes until back dues are
paid.
UNTIL the issue is resolved
privately, the assembly decided
to conduct no formal votes.
Thus, voting by acclamation or
accepting items on the basis
of “no objection’* will remain
the assembly’s only tools for
action.
At its opening session (Dec.
1.) the assembly, by accla
mation, elected Alex Quaison-
Sackey of Ghana as president
and admitted the new nations of
Malawi, Malta and Zambia, bri
nging UN membership to 115
states.
No assembly committees are
meeting due to the vote conflict.
In plenary meetings.the assem
bly is conducting its annual ge
neral debate. During the first
week, it heard statements by
President Kenneth Kaunda of
Zambia and by the foreign mini
sters of Brazil, Dahomey, Japan
and Somalia.
BEFORE THE Christmas re
cess, the assembly must ap
prove the UN budget for 1965
and elect states to fill vacan
cies on the Economic and So
cial Council and the Security
Council. If the crisis continues,
the assembly will have to ach
ieve unanimous agreement on
these usually contested items.
Talks throughout the week
between U. S. Secretary of State
Dean Rusk and U. S. S. R.
Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko have dealt with the
assessments stalemate as well
as with long-range questions on
peacekeeping operations. The
U. S. has suggested that UN
Secretary General U Thant re
sume negotiations among all
members states.
The Afro-Asian states have
named a 12-member com
mittee to seek a settlement.
Their plan suggests creation
of a “rescue fund" to which all
UN members would contribute,
and which would be applied to
the deficit. This scheme would
allow the Soviet Union to save
face by separating its payment
from the threat of vote censure.
. IN HIS acceptance speech,
President Quaison-Sackey ex
pressed the belief that the “spi
rit of tolerance and compro
mise’* which has saved the or
ganization in the past “will
WITH OTHER FAITHS
once again prevail in the search
for a firm solution to the fin
ancial crisis resulting from
peace-keeping operations. This-
should give us hope that in the
fire and crucible of crisis and
danger we shall forge an orga
nization which will fulfill its
primary role of saving ‘suc
ceeding generations from the
scourge of war’.’’
As for other “tough prob
lems” facing this session, the
president identified Korea, Vie
tnam, Germany, general and
complete disarmament, deco
lonization, apartheid, refugees,
human rights and economic de
velopment.
Finally, Quaison-Sackey urg
ed; “What has begun as an
assembly of crisis should end as
an assembly of harmony and
peace. May Divine Providence
guide our deliberations.”

INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES IN DANGER
Clergymen Call For National
Observance Of Bill Of Rights
NEW YORK (RNS)— A dan
gerous erosion of individual
liberties has taken place while
the nation has girded itself to
meet external pressures, 36
noted Protestant, Roman Cath
olic and Jewish leaders said
in a letter issued here which
called for a “national obser
vance of the Bill of Rights.”
The letter, being sent by re
ligious and civil rights groups
to 100,000 clergymen, urged
sermons and lectures in support
of “the preservation of an open
society” on the first Sunday in
J anuary, the eve of the opening
of a new session of Congress.
Perpetuation of an “atmos
phere of McCarthyism” through
legislative investigating com
mittees which use “methods of
exposure. . informers.” and
other means “reminiscent of
police state censorship” was
cited in the letter.
“IF A small group of legis
lators is allowed to determine
for the country and its citizens
what ideas are acceptable and
consistent with national se
curity, and what, on the con
trary, is ‘subversive* and ‘un-

The bishops’ joint statement,
based on the ecumenical coun
cil’s decree on ecumenism,
was announced Dec. 6. It stat
ed that from now on, Catho
lics who are elected to such -
posts as mayor, borough coun
cillor and judge may attend the
traditional civic services in
non-Catholic churches. A
Catholic may not only attend
non-Catholic weddings and fun
erals, but may also serve as
bridesmaid or best man at mar
riages between non-Catholics.
CATHOLICS may henceforth
accept invitations to attend ser
vices in non-Catholic churches
marking such occasions as
the induction of a new vicar or
minister, the bishops said.
Likewise, Catholics may parti
cipate in official memorial ser
vices for the war dead. In this
connection, the bishops sug
gested that in the case of local
memorial service, a Catholic
priest should join the clergy of
other local churches In planning
such services.
“The Octave for Christian
Unity has been observed with

that in addition to the fervent
observance of the octave in our
churches, on one night during

joint prayer and talks frotn Ch

“Our Founding Fathers in
scribed a Bill of Rights into
our Constitution in a conscious
effort to forestall zealots from
Imposing tyrannical rule,” the
letter said, and continued;
“In these times of flux, when
20 millions of our citizens are
demanding their full and equal
rights as prescribed in the
Fourteenth Amendment, ex
treme methods and their resul
tant violence and bloodshed can
only be avoided by underpinning
the freedom to persuade.
“WE believe we can make a
contribution asstandard-bearers
of the Judeo-Christian tradi
tion. We are enjoined to seek
that mutuality which will re
flect the love of God and love
of neighbor, and to shun those
methods of intimidation and re
pression which are the contem
porary embodiment of the false
witness forbidden in the “Ten

Live Church
VATICAN CITY (NC)—“The
Church Is not a museum of
remembrances; it is a living
community,” Pope Paul told
his weekly general aduience
(Nov. 25).
“THE CHURCH is not de
tached from the historical and
social reality in which to react
to it as men and Christians.
It does not restrict the hori
zons of human intersts, but on
the contrary it can happen that
it widens these horizons too
much, thus presenting the souls
of its pupils with immensely
great universal questions.”
One of the impressions ex
perienced during a papal au
dience, he said, is that of the
“actuality Church.”

said. "It is alive and active,

an ancient liturgy performed for
the first time in Bombay and
conducted in the English,
Malayalan and Syriac tongues.
Archbishop Gregorios Than-

assisted by two prelates, con-*-
ducted the service (Dec. 4.)

community fell away from Rome

shrine is one of the oldest and
best known Catholic shrines in
India. It started out as a little
oratory dedicated to the Nati
vity of Our Lady, built by Por
tuguese Jesuits nearly 400
years ago on a woody hilltop,
today known as Mount Mary.
In 1640 the oratory was en
larged into a chapel to serve
the garrison of a fort built
against wandering pirates.
When the pirates overran Ban-
dra, now a part of Bombay’s
metropolitan area, the priests
and their people fled with the
statue of Our Lady to Mahim
across a creek.
IN 1761 the chapel at Ban-
dra was rebuilt and the statue,
which had been hidden for a
time, was carried in solemn
procession and reinstated in its
place above the main altar
where it stands today.
In 1954, for a National Mar

Notebook
• STEP TO THE FRONT, PLEASE
A lay reporter tells me of a Sunday-morning phenomenon
that seems to have arrived with the new liturgy. A dozen neigh
bors of his are now leaving home in time to reach church at least
ten minutes early for Mass. Why?
“So we can all get good seats!”
This, in church? Every pastor has known the agony of the pack
ed vestibule and empty pews up front. A bishop too has a similar
problem at a clergy conference. I was relieved to hear in Rome
last year a cardinal beg the assembled bishops to take seats
down front. “You’re acting just like Catholics” was his very
comment.
Vatican Council II has done some remarkable things. But it
will' be unique in history if parishes start abandoning that haven
of the comfortable Catholics — the back pews.
• CONGRATULATIONS ALL AROUND!
There were proud students at St. Joseph High School and D’
Youville Academy this week when the word came that these fresh
young pioneering schools, — only four and five years old, —
had won accreditition from the Southern Association. Months of
self-review and preparation, intensive evaluation by the Visiting
Committee had led to the happy day. Happiest of all were Father
Daniel O’Connor and Sister M. Raphel, the principals, and the re
ligious and lay faculties of both schools.
Following upon this good news came a favorable verdict on
the 5-year re-evaluation of Pius X. Father James Harrison, prin
cipal since the school opened in 1958 brought me the Committee’s
Report and a remarkable survey of the school. I am reading it
now, and wish every student and parent could study this “ana
tomy of a Catholic high school”. Wa see buildings — but the school
is far more than that. We hear pupils’ comments, and although
they are usually enthusiastic, they are not noted for total objec
tivity. Here are the facts on the various departments, on such
vital areas as health, physical education and guidance. A chart
shows that 90% of last year’s graudates are in college, with 18
of them earning scholarships of $70,090. Dean’s lists and honors
programs at Yale and Notre Dame have Pius X representatives.
The book is a gold-mine of information for those engaged in
the quest for quality education. I am one of them, along with the
faculties and parents of these young Catholics.
• COMMENTS FROM THOSE WHO COUNT
From Mike at Our Lady’s Day School: “Did you have a nice
Thanksgiving? I did. (Note; So did II) We pray for you in the
morning and at night.” (Thanks very much, M ke!)
And on the liturgy: “The priest will go to the altar from the
back of the Church. This represents the priest being one of the
people and coming from them to offer the Mass”. (From David
at Qur Lady of Assumption.) run Q ’
Therese at the same school wrote me; “Some ask ‘Why do we
need to understand it better? WE’ve gotten along just fine these
past centuries?’ The truth is we haven’t gotten along just fine
these centuries. We don’t really understand how beautiful and
wonderful the Mass really is.”
