Priest Supports
Housing Progress
WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS)—
Strengthening of the Housing
and Urban Development Act of
1967, with provisions for the
poor, was advocated here by the
secretary of the National Con
ference of Catholic Charities.
Msgr. Lawrence J. Corcoran
told the Seante’s Subcommittee
on Housing and Urban Affairs
that “we believe adequate hous
ing for all is the basic require
ment in the search for complete
social health of our country."
"Present legislative propo
sals" now before the subcom
mittee, he said, give “very
little attention" to housing for
poor families. "The special
bills which, provide for home
ownership cannot make this...
a reality for the poor."
Msgr. Corcoran pointed out
there are 32.7 million people
in the U.S. who fall below the
poverty line of $3,130 per year
income for a family of four.
“To make home ownership a
reality for this family...the pre
sent proposals must be re-ex
amined and related more real
istically to the income of poor
families."
“It is important,' he con
tinued, “that we are clear about
whom we are talking when we
speak of home ownership for
low-income persons. We are
not j/e ally talking about the poor
family, who is the true low-in
come family, but rather we are
addressing ourselves to the mo
derate income family.
“There is indeed a need for
housing help for these fami
lies, and we commend them
to the consideration of this Sub
committee. I repeat, however,
that this is not truly a consi
deration of those in poverty.”
Msgr. Corcoran commended
the Public Housing Program for
its “significant contribution to
ward housing the poor," but
said there is a need to correct
an "inadequacy" which is not
met by the present proposals.
Although 125,OOOunits of low-
rent housing are needed each
year, only 45,000 units resulted
from the low-rent Public Hous
ing Program and the FHA Be
low Market Interest Rate Pro
gram, he said.
The Catholic spokesman
voiced support for the Model
Cities and Rent Supplement pro
grams and the provision of the
Housing and Urban Develop
ment Act of 1967 which encour
ages more nursing home beds.
He backed the section of the
Act which would allow tenants
in public housing to purchase
their dwellings when their in
comes permit. But Msgr. Cor
coran cautioned that the imple
mentation of that section not be
allowed to decrease the total
number of public housing units.

“IT IS YOUR BUSINESS....
...to sensitize the whole Church.” Pope
Paul said to Monsignor O’Meara, Nation
al Director for His Society for the Propa
gation of the Faith. “Already the Ecu
menical Council clearly brought out the
essential dimension of the Church—
MISSION .... MOBILIZE THE ENTIRE
PEOPLE OF GOD FOR THAT PURPOSE.
Yes, missionary activity is not a task re
served to a few specialists in the world
or in the Roman Curia. The whole Church
must be missionary. ... In Our recent
Encyclical POPULORUM PROGRESSIO,
We wished to make Our own the appeal
of Our Predecessor Pius XII....This mis
sionary spirit must be roused in the entire
People of God. Today the peoples in hun
ger are making a dramatic appeal to the
peoples in abundance.’ (POPULORUM
PROGRESSIO).
This is the true mission of The Society
for the Propagation of the Faith. As Christ
fed the multitude before He spoke to them,
as He healed and ministered to those in
need, so the Holy Father’s Society for the
Propagation of The Faith serves people
today. We are the Pope’s society for the
“development of peoples” seeking to
serve the whole man, body and soul, look
ing at each as a brother, a child of God
regardless of race, creed or color.
Your help is needed! These are your
brothers too! Upon their development
depends the future of the human race.

Delegates Barred
At Political Meet
GREENSBORO, N.C. (RNS)--
Seven delegates could not come
to the Fourth World Conference
here, apparently for political
reasons.
Three of the missing Quaker
delegates were East Germans,
three were Cubans and one a
Jordanian. Efforts to clear the
three East Germans through
government channels were to
no avail, according to Herbert
M. Hadley, executive secretary
of the American Section of the
Friends World Committee,
Philadelphia.
The U.S. State Department
refused to waive a policy of
not recognizing East German
passports and East Germany
retaliated by blocking the al
ternative temporary travel doc
uments available through
NATO,
“Perhaps if they had been
athletes, or closer to the party
line, East Germany might have
let them come," Hadley com
mented. There are at least a
dozen Friends here from West
Germany and Austria, which are
among 38 countries from all six
continents represented.
Two Cubans were here, Maulio
Ajo, clerk of the Cuba Meeting,
and Marinia Ortez, who has been
out of the country before to
study in Europe. Neither they
nor Hadley could explain why
the three other Cubans were
refused permission.
The Jordanian, Mrs. Jean
Zaru, of Ramallah, a village
near Jerusalem, not taken over
by Israel, sent word that it
would be difficult for her to
leave and probably ever more
difficult to get back to her
home.
Otherwise, every country in
which there is a Quaker meet
ing, except Boliva, was
accounted for here. Some
of them were in native garb,
thus depicting the international
flavor of the Assembly, as they
strolled on the expansive, tree-
shaded campus of the Quakers’
Guilford College here.'
Friends support a worldwide
program of material relief and
"self-help" education that is
Preaches On R ace,
CINCINNATI (RNS)—“It was
quite an experience,” said a
young Roman Catholic priest
here. "From what I've seen,
it makes me ashamed that my
skin is white."
Father Hilaire Valiquette
made his comment after some
20 white parishioners walked
out on his sermon on racial
justice in St. Martin's church,
suburban Cheviot.
“One woman stood up during
the sermon and said this was a
political matter and she didn't
come to the church to hear such
talk," Father Valiquette said.
“I said that if the Church does
not speak out now, we may as
weel fold up.’
“About five persons stood up
and tried to involve me in an
argument," the priest said.
“One called me a troublemaker.
distinctively large when com
pared to their world member
ship of 200,000.
But it was a "soul-
searching” question to the 900
participants in the assembly
here as to whether an evange
listic "sharing of faith” would
accompany the "sharing of sub
stance” to/make it a truly
Christian witness.
A panel group discussed the
question at a mass assembly,
one of the few scheduled in the
10-day program largely given
to small roundtable dis
cussions.
Following addresses by six
speakers, Barrett Hollister of
Antioch College, Ohio, a mem
ber of the U.S. Commission for
UNESCO and the panel chair
man, said in summary:
"Here is both real unity and
real differences in the way we
(Quakers) interpret the Gospel;
Some believe that we do not
proclaim it enough. Others be
lieve that we can proclaim it
so much that we lose humility
and become obnoxious."
Colin Bell, executive secre
tary of the American Friends
Service Committee, which has
its central office in Philadel
phia, said that a Quaker ser
vice worker would betray his
work if his only contribution
was strictly humanitarian or
secular.
"Let's not try to convert
while serving,” contended
Sigrid Lund, a tall slender
white-haired woman from Oslo,
Norway, former European sec
retary for the Friends World
Committee. "There is that of
God in every man, but man
has many definitions of God.” i
Among the seven Quaker
leaders, the only one to appeal
forth-rightly for a Bible-
oriented evangelical preaching
of Christ, in the manner of
most Christian churches, was
Dr. Everett Cattell, president
Of Malone College, Canton,
Ohio.' He was for many years J
a Quaker missionary in India.
The Quaker College he now
heads was formerly an evan
gelical Bible school.
20 Leave Church
Then they (a group of about
20 parishioners) walked out."
The 29-year-old priest said
that he was following instruc
tions from Archbishop Karl J.
Alter who asked archdiocesan
priests to preach on racial jus
tice. This was in response to
President Johnson's appeal to
make July 30 a Day of Prayer
for an end to racial strife.
