FORCES AIDING
Bishop Optimist
On Family Life
BOMBAY, India (RNS)—There
are more reasons for confident
optimism than for moral de
featism among families, despite
forces loose in the world which
are "anti-life, anti-love, anti-
child," Bishop John J. Wright
of Pittsburgh, Pa., declared
here at a study session of the
38th International Eucharistic
Congress.
The bishop cited "expanding
programs of social security,
maternity aid, child guidance,
parent and child education,
housing action, social justice
and family welfare" under both
public and private initiative.
regimes of impersonal legalistic
orientation, indifferent to those
purposes of family life which
make the family a community
of love...regimes with concepts
of economic laissez-faire, po
litical individualism, techno
cratic scientism, moral neu
tralism, or that pseudo-reli
gious, mystical flight from rea
lities and responsibilities which
leaves the family defenseless in
the face of brutal injustices and
cole inequities."
THE American prelate de
clared that there are increased
supernatural forces, as well
as material forces, on the side
of the family.

the move to bring foreign work
ers into the country under the
Immigration and Nationality Act
as an attempt to circumvent the
expiration, scheduled for Dec.
31, of the bract ro program un
der which Mexican nationals for
years have been imported to do
farm work.
He said there "seems to be
an already existent understand
ing or agreement, made perhaps
at the highest levels, that Mexi
can and other aliens will in
fact be admitted in 1965 to
fo seasonal agricultural labor."
However, the priest said he
refuses to accept the "assump
tion"— which he said was im
plied in the Labor Department
hearings—that foreign workers
would be imported. And he add
ed: "I insist that any ‘shor
tage’ of workers which is said
to exist is an artificial one
created by the stubborn refusal
of the growers to improve wages
and working conditions to the
point that American workers
can and will accept them."
"LET NO one assume that
by talking about standards we
have given up the battle on the
admission of aliens. That battle
will go on," he said.
Father Vizzard's testimony
represented another round in a
continuing battle over the bra-
cero program. Under Public
Law 78, the Mexican nationals
have been imported annually by
the tens of thousands.
The program has been under
steady attack by labor and re
ligious groups, which .claim
that it puts American workers
at a disadvantage by forcing
them to compete for jobs with
Mexicans who can afford to work
for less, Lest year Congress
turned down an effort to ex
tend the program beyond the end
of this year.
ASSAILING the new move to
bring in the foreign workers,
Father Vizzard leveled his
heaviest fire at the growers,
who he said stand to benefit
by having access to cheap labor.
While most growers are not
"consciously evil men," he
said, "too many...seem to be
lieve that they have a right
to use-or abuse-human beings
without any condierationfor de
cency, justice and human dig
nity."
"Since these growers show
"NOT all defective social ef
forts, even of states or organi
zations with unfortunate politi
cal theories will prove finally
against the family, its life and
its love," he said. "Indeed, as
so often in the past, so the fu
ture may find that good effects
have survived when faulty theo
ries and sinful policies have
inevitably gone their way into
oblivion."
Bishop Wright spoke at a ses
sion devoted to family life in a
changing society.
He deplored forces "working
against the family," seeing
these as "regimes of easy di
vorce, lightly permitted or cyn
ically facilitated ... regimes of
contraceptive orientation. . .
"An aroused Church, ever
more conscious of itself as
the family of God and the source
of God's grace for families
singly and for all the family of
mankind, is proving to be rich
in resources to aid the develop
ment of family idealism, the so
lution of family tensions, the
promotion of family life," he
said.
Bishop Wright explained that
"the doctrinal treasures of the
faith are being searched to dis
cover new stores for the en
richment of the Church's moral
and ascetical contribution of the
hallowing of family life."
HE also cited the fostering
of Christian Family Movements
and a "harvest" of publications
on family liturgical life, nupti
al spirituality, ' the, special
sanctity and sublime dignity of
marriage," and the family.
"All these," he said, "reveal
the Church at work on the side
of family life."

‘Kiss Me’ Found Stupid
NEW YORK (NC) The National
Legion of Decency announced
(Dec. 7) that a Condemned
rating has been issued to the
film, "Kiss Me Stupid." starr
ing Kim Novak and Dean Mirtin.
The reason for the C rating
of the film, which was produced
and directed by Billy Wilder,
was stated by the Legion:
"SATIRE on the foibles of its
people has always been a sign
of the healthiness of a society.
Through humor the weaknesses
of men can be exposed to a sla-
utary recognition by all, and,'
many times, much more effec
tively than by serious preach
ment. Mr. Wilder’s earlier
film, "The Apartment," was
an example of such effective
comic staire.
"In the case of "Kiss Me
Stupid," however, not only has
Mr. Wilder failed to create a
genuine satire out of a situa
tion comedy about an amateur
composer who attempts to sell
his songs to a big -name singer
in exchange for the adulterous
attentions of his alleged ‘wife’,
but he has regrettably produced
a thoroughly sordid piece of
realism which isesthetically as
well as morally repulsive.
Crude and suggestive dialogue,
a lcaring treatment of mar
ital and extra-marital sex, a
prurient preoccupation with
lechery compound the film’s
bald condonation of immoral
ity."
IN releasing this rating the
Legion at the same time ex
pressed its astonishment that
"a film which is so patently
indecent and immoral" should
have received a seal of appro
val from the Production Code
Authority- of the Motion Picture
Association of America.

said, "they need to be told

perpetuated will no longer bo

"They need to be made to

to realize that to exploit the

The priest offered a number
of recommendations aimed at
ensuring that American work
ers get the first crack at farm
jobs on fair terms, including
adequate wages and living and
working conditions. "United

absolute priority for all Ameri
