WASHINGTON (NC)— Former
U.S. Sen. Kenneth D. Keating of
New York has asked a Senate
subcommittee to create a Fe
deral bureau of family develop
ment and planning services.
Keating, who now heads the
newly created Population Crisis
Cfommittee, appeared before a
government operations subcom
mittee headed by Sen. Ernest
Gruening of Alaska. He said he
approved of a bill introduced by
Gruening to authorize a White
House conference on population
in 1967. because frank and full,
discussion is neked "on this So-
Called politically taboo subkct."
In his prepared testimony,

be placed in the U.S. Public Health
Service. He said he opposed mak
ing family planning services
compulsory, but said the govern
ment should be able to offer ad
vice, training and other services.
, "It is not enough," declared,
Keating, "that a small grant be
given here.iianother samll grant -
be given there...or that few dol
lars be given to investigate the
effect of family palnning,
"FAMILY PLANNING is a sub
ject in. itself, with a direct con
nection to each and every human
being. It deserves to be more
than just a Cinderella in the
health household. It deserves ma
jor attention.”
A Negro congressman from
Michigan told the subcommittee
that the lack of a Federal birth
control program is directly re
lated to the "breakdown of the
Negro family structure" in his
state. Rep. John Conyers, Jr.,
said poverty - stricken families
find it impossible to stay to
gether when there are too many
children for the parents to sup
port.
He said a year’s supply of birth
control pills now costs about $25
more than many Negro couples
can afford.
The White House conference
was also supported by JohnMar-
tin, Republican national com
mitteeman from Michigan, and
by Mrs. Gladys Avery Tillett
of Charlotte, N.C., American re
presentative to the United Na
tions Commission on the Status
of Women.
MARTIN SAID it is important'
that the population program be
"viewed in a completely non
political framework" and with
strong bipartisanship.

TRENT, Italy (NC)—-Dioce-
san officials are considering
suppressing the local venera
tion of Blessed Simon of Trent,
a small boy allegedly killed by
Jews in 1475.
Suppression is being consid
ered because new historical
studies indicate that circum
stances surrounding his death
are different than those earlier
believed and because of the re
sulting possibility of anti-Sem
itism.
The chapel housing the re
mains of the child has been
closed to the public for the past
several months, and the Mass
and precession assigned for
his feast day (Marc h 24) were
suppressed this year for the
first time.
ACCORDING to medieval writ
ers, Simon was kidnapped by a
J ewish doctor and killed to ob
tain Christian blood to be used
in the synagogue during the Jew
ish pasch. Suspects, under tor
ture, admitted their guilt.
Butler’s Lives of the Saints,
commenting on this account,
states flatly: "No scrap of
serious evidence has ever been
adduced which would show that
use of Christian blood formed
any part of Jewish ritual’’.
Father Igino Rogger, Trent
diocesan priest charged with
studying the case, told the N.C.
W.C. News Service that a new
scholarly study of the matter
has been published by German
Father W, P. Eckert, O.P., of
the Thomas Institute of Cologne.
His article is in a book pul^
lished in January, 1965, and
entitled: "Hatred of the Jews,
Fault of the Christians?"
IN BRIEF, Father Eckert
contends that there is no evi
dence that Jews murdered the
child but that public hysteria
turned on them and groundless
ly judged them guilty of die
crime.
Father Rogger stated further
that because of the research of
Father Eckert and others,
Archbishop Alessandro Maria
Gottardi of Trent has ordered
a review of the case of Blessed
Simon of Trent and the sup
pression, for the present, of any
veneration of him. Father Rog
ger also noted that the boy has
never been beatified or canoniz
ed officially by the Church.
Veneration of him has always
been a local matter. At the re
quest of the bishop of Trent,
Pope Sixtus V permitted vene
ration only within the Trent
area, as was the custom of the
time.
The title of "Blessed” at
tributed to Simon was not con
ceded by the Holy See but by
the bishop of Trent. It was no
until 1634 that beatification and
canonization processes became
the undisputed prerogative of
the Holy See.
IN ROME, officials of the
Congregation of Rites confirm
ed that the entire matter is un
der study but refused further
comment.
Dr. C. T. Vivian above and A.
J. Young of the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference,
will be speakers at the Sou

Private-Public Conference Unity MrsCeceKaB >" c
J Mrs. Cecilia Valentino Wynne
WASHINGTON (NC)— Non
public schools emerged as full-
fledged partners in the total
U. S. educational enterprise
during the fifth White House
Conference on Education.
Instead of being on the outside
looking in, nonpublic educators
were solidly on the inside—
and with their sleeves rolled
up, working for the general
good. They and their schools
were firmly accepted at the
meeting.
"If there is an ecumenical
spirit abroad in the world to
day," remarked Msgr. Frede
rick G. HochWalt, secretary of
the National Catholic Educa
tional Association, "it was
certainly characteristic of this
meeting." His view was shar
ed by other nonpublic educa
tors.
MORE THAN 700 leaders in
education, business, labor and
other fields attended the two-
day meeting (July 20-21), the
first White House Conference
on Education in 10 years.
They met in general ses
sions and panels to discuss
such topics as "Education
for World Responsibility,"
"Education and the Special Stu
dent" and others.
There was general agreement
that the meeting came at a
unique moment in the history of
American education, when the
federal government is beginning
to move into the school aid pic
ture in a massive way.
U, S. Commissioner of Edu
cation Francis Keppel told the
conference opening session that
Federal expenditures for edu
cation in the 1966 fiscal year
will reach $3.3 billion, twice
the figure for the previous year
and more than 20 times the to
tal a decade ago.
HEALTH, Education and Wel
fare Secretary Anthony J. Cele-
brezze underlined the legisla
tive picture, saying Congress
has enacted “more than a
dozen major pieces of legisla
tion” in the area of education
in the past two years.
The participation of nonpublic
educators in the conference was
geared to the problems of
American education as a whole
rather than the special needs
of the private sector. Officials
of Catholic schools spoke at
many of the panels dealing with
general educational topics. For
example:
"Msgr, William E. McManus,
Chicago archdiocesan school
superintendent and panelist at a
session on "Jobs, Dropouts
and Automation," said many
so-called dropouts are in fact
"forceouts” who have been
compelled to leave school. He
accused high schools of using
che term dropout to cover their
own failure to provide meaning
ful programs for slow learnfers.
—Sister Clare Marie of the
National Catholic Conference
for Interracial Justice called
the teacher the "key" to suc
cessful school integration at a
panel on desegregation. She
warned that many teachers are
undergoing "partial withdraw
als" from the problem of in
tegrating the classroom be
cause they lack support from
other quarters.
—Sister Jacqueline Grennan,
president of Webster College in
Webster Groves, Mo., caution
ed educatirs at a session on in
novations in elementary and
secondary education against a
"vested interest" approach
that makes them resentful or
suspicious of new ideas.
—George Schuster, assistant
to the president of Notre Dame
University, said at a session on
undergraduate education that a
revolution is needed in the
teaching of the humanities in
college. "Student dissatisfac
tion with the lifelessness of the
humanities is universal,” he
declared.
NONPUBLIC educators indi
cated that they were pleased
with the general conference at
mosphere and attitude.

"The fact that about 75 Cath
olic educators gracefully ming
led with their public school col
leagues in every one of the gen
eral and special sessions is a
sign of the times, an indication
that at long last public and pri
vate schools are being viewed
as partners rather than compe
titors in American education,”
commented Msgr. McManus.
"My impression," the Chi
cago educator added, "was that
few if any of the participants
made any distinctions between
public and private schools n
their discussion of the ast edu
cational probl ms lo whi h he
conference addressed itself.
Speakers occasionally slipped
into the phraseology of *the
American public schools,’ but 1
what they had to say was gen
erally applicable to both public
and private schools.”
MSGR. McMANUS described
the conference as "highly in
telligent, constructive and re
strained."
’There was little evidence of
jockeying for partisan position
or of speech making on behalf
of vested interests,” he said.
Msgr. Hochwal t said the con
ference was "notable*' for the
fact that the "abrasive” argu
ment over church-state issues
in relation to church-related
education "did not emerge as
in past conferences.”
