Bishop Gr°n, who was born in Bergen in 1920, w?s baptized a Uutheran and became a Cath olic in 1941 while he was in Rome studying opera produc tion. He joined the British army during World War II and to ward the end of the war trans ferred to the Free Norwegian army and became a liaison of ficer between Norwegian, Bri tish and American forces. Bishop Gran went to Britain in 1949 and entered the novitiate of the Trappist abbey of Cal- dey, taking John as his relig ious name. LESS THAN two years ago Pope John XXIII called Father John Gran from his Cistercian life of silence and seclusion and named him Coadjutor Bishop of Oslo with the right of suc cession to Bishop Mangers. “Rujr Y"ur ami From Mu" • MAN METZEL.

Ed Curtin Presents 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.” THURSDAY.

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- American,” the letter said, “we become a government of men, Bishops In Britain Relax Co-Worship LONDON (NC)— The Catho dic Qishops of England and Wales have relaxed the rul es concerning attendance at non - Catholic religious ser vices ture. of a civic or social na- ARTHRITIS PAINS? •*Good Housekeeping'* V www / NOW...GET RELIEF OR GET YOUR MONEY BACK Rush out pain . . . rush in relief.

OPEN UNTIL 10 PM i 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 growing enthusiasm during re cent years. It is recommended that in addition to the fervent observance of the octave in our churches, on one night during the octave all Christians should gather In some suitable hall for joint prayer and talks frotn Ch ristians of different denomina tions.** not of laws. . .’* “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.

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.” “The Church is here,*’ he said. "It is alive and active, in the secrecy of faithful hearts as In its vast expanse and world organization, and in great world problems... Father Anthony S. Woods, S.

Archbishop Gregorios Than- galathil of Trivandrum, India, assisted by two prelates, con-*- ducted the service (Dec. 4.) Syro-Malankara rite Catho lics are part of an ancient Christian community in Kerala state in south India founded, according to tradition, by St. Thomas the Apostle. In the 17th century, owing to Portu guese action, a section of the community fell away from Rome and placed itself under the sep arated Patriarch of Antioch. In 1930 , archbishop Ivanios brought about their reunion with the Catholic Church and today they are a devout, thriving con gregation of 150,000 persons. IN TH 2 evening after the main ceremony of the Eucharistic Congress on the Oval Grounds, Julius Cardinal Doepfner of Mu nich and Freising, Germany, led a seven-mile pilgrimage to the Shrine of Mount Mary, where there is a statue of Our Lady which is an object of venera tion of thousands of people. This statue was preserved from desecration by pirates in Who’s Who? PICTURE of Joseph Breig (left)was inadvertently substituted for that of Paul Traina (right) in last week's Bulletin .

The 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 ian Congress, Pope Pius XII raised the chapel to the status of a minor basilica and com missioned Valerian Cardinal Gracias of Bombay to put a gol den crown on the statue of Our Lady.

Archbishop’s 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.” f odUU~ ARCHBISHOP OF ATLANTA only s 229 50 will bu GRUnDIG r S tenorette 1 - THE WORLD’S MOST APPRECIATED DICTATING SYSTEM PHONE TODAY FOR DEMONSTRATION WITHOUT OBLIGATION HYNES COMPANY 172 WHITEHALL STREET, S.W.
