That question, the 35-year- old Baptist clergyman stated, is “the need for man to over come oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression.*’ DR. KING—the youngest per son ever to receive the prize— gave his acceptance speech be fore an audience that included Norway’s King Olav V., govern ment and diplomatic leaders, members of his family and ci vil rights associates. He accepted the award, he said, in behalf of the civil rights movement “which is moving with determination and majes tic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedon and a rule of justice.” Stating that he came to Oslo as a “trustee,*’ Dr. King add ed that he accepted the prize “on behalf of all men who love peace and brotherhood,’* Civilization and violence Bishops Want Liberty Text DURHAM, N.

Expressing an “abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind,*’ he said he refused to accept "the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruc tion. “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeat ed is stronger than evil trium phant.” I STILL believe,” he add ed, ' that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonvio lent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land ...I still believe that we shall overcome.” Dr. King, whose acceptance of the award was recorded on movie film by his mother, was hailed by Gunnar Jahn, chair man of the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament as “the first person in the Western world to have shown us that a struggle can be waged without violence,” Ha paid additional tribute to the Baptist minister as a man “who has never abandoned his faith in the unarmed struggle he is waging, who has suffer ed for his faith, been imprison ed on many occasions, whose home has been subjected to bomb atacks, whose life and those of his family have been threatened, and who neverthe less has'never faltered,*’ THE Nobel award carries with it a cash prize of $53,123, all of which Dr. King said would be spent on the civil rights movement. The day following the award ceremonies, Dr. King issued a call for an economic boycott of Mississippi unless other means can attain ' justice for all men in that state." He made the statement after learning that U.S. Commis sioner in Mississippi had re leased 19 of 21 white men arrested in connection with the June 21 slaying of three civil rights workers in the state. The release followed the commissioner's refusal to ac cept FBI testimony concerning an alleged “confession” made by one of the defendants. Feder al authorities, saying the com missioner's move was unpre cedented at a preliminary hear ing, indicated a grand jury would be called to take further action.

(RNS)~Pres- sure from local Catholic grow ers has forced a priest active in the farm labor movement in the San Francisco archdiocese to resign his post as co-chair man of the Interfaith Migrant Committee. Father Ronald Burke, who helped a Presbyterian minister found the committee in October 1963, said he resigned the of fice at his pastor’s request, but will continue as an active mem ber. SUNDAY collections in the parish have dropped 20 per cent in recent weeks and a delega tion of farmers asked his re moval from the parish. The IMC, with about 75 ac tive members, conducted a summer school for Spanish speaking children of farm work ers, provided health clinics, and has shown films in Spanish on health and welfare subjects. It cooperates with the Catho lic Migrant Mission Program, of which Father Burke is also a director. At recent hearings for the U.S. Department of Labor In San Francisco, the IMC pre sented a statement opposing the further importation of foreign farm workers. “LOW WAGE scales and ac companying conditions of em ployment In farm labor are hurting not just the laborer but the independent farmer as well, especially, the farmer with a conscience,” the statement said. “We believe that eliminat ing cheap labor will help break the strangle-hold of corporation monopoly control of California fruits and vegetables.” IT ALSO accused the govern ment of aiding the large corp oration farms at the expense of the independent farmer by providing “a desperately docile and readily abundant foreign la bor force.” Father Burke was formerly a member of the Spanish Mis- Oppose Creche sions Band, a group of arch diocesan priests who served both migrants and braceros a- like, until they were disbanded three years ago. He has also served as arch diocesan moderator of the Young Christian Workers. PHILADELPHIA (RNS>— A “sister” relationship has been established between a Negro Roman Catholic parish in a blighted section of North Phil adelphia and a suburban white parish in a pilot program spon sored by the Commission on Human Relations of the Phila delphia archdiocese. The city parish is St. Eliza beth's, which has a large num ber of poor and underprivileged Negroes in its midst; an adult congregation of about 2,000 and about 850 children in its school. TS SUBURBAN “sister” pa rish is Sacred Heart, atManoa, on the Main Line. The first ac tivity was a cash offering for food certificates and the collec tion of food for Christmas bas kets by the suburban parish to enable St. Elizabeth's to pro vide for some of its needy at Christmas. The longer-range plan calls for visitation between the two parishes, occasional exchange of choirs; joint Holy Name breakfasts and basketball games between the youth groups. *'It is a small start, but a significant one that we hope will be meaningful in terms of rac ial understanding and Christian brotherhood,” said the Rev. Philip J. Dowling, executive secretary of the Human Rela tions Commission. THE REV. John J. McHale, director of St. Elizabeth’s, and the Rev, Thomas B, Falls, of the Manoa parish, also express ed enthusiasm over the experi ment. St. Elizabeth's was one of the first large Catholic parishes in any U.S. city to undergo tran sition. In 1937, it had a mem bership of 1,000 white families, but there was a mass exodus that within five years left it almost a ghost parish. With some financial as sistance, the parish has grad ually been rebuilt. It has a mod ern school, just built to replace the original that was destroyed by fire. One of its services is a free hot lunch to compensate those who lack proper feeding in their homes, FATHER McHale has been rector for eight years, and in this time approximately 100 adults and 150 children a year have been confirmed. Besides the economic plight of many of the people, there is the problem of them being tran sitory and difficult to keep track of Father McHale observed. Mass From N.Y.
