Youth
Council
Formed
CHAMBLEE, GEORGIA,
October 27, 1968 - More than
300 young people converged on
Holy Cross Parish Center Sunday
night for the opening of the
year’s youth activities.
A Youth Mass celebrated by
the Pastor, Father Eusibius
Beltran was followed by Youth
Council elections and a Sloppy
Joe Dinner. “I must admit I was a
little bit nervous before it
started,” said Sister Marie
Russell, I.H.M. coordinator of the
High School of Religion. “-I was
very pleased with the turnout and
the co-operation of everyone
working on it,” she added.
McLEAN, Va.-Sen. Edward Kennedy announces the formation of

NEW YORK (RNS) - The need
for emergency relief supplies for
civilian war victims in Biafra has
not lessened and may be
increasing, according to church
officials here, in Europe and in
the war zone.
In reporting on aid airlifted
under church auspices, both
Roman Catholic and World
Council of Churches spokesmen
disagreed with reports on
improved conditions attributed
to the International Committee
of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Bishop Edward E. Swanstrom
of New York, executive director
of Catholic Relief Services, said
his information indicated that the
crisis was still grave.
At the United Nations, Dr.
William C. Shepherd, a physician
who has handled distribution of
supplies for the World Council of
Churches in Biafra, strongly
disagreed with the Red Cross
report.
Samuel A. Gonard, president of
the ICRC said earlier in Geneva
that the famine was “more or less
overcome.”
Dr. Shepherd stated that
despite airlifts of supplies the
Biafrans have been forced to eat
their yams and cassave seeds that
had been set aside for the next
year’s crop.
Approximately 3,500 tons have
been airlifted by the
International Red Cross from a
base on Fernando Poo island.
Work under religious auspices is
coordinated by a joint
international agency. Primarily
involved are the World Council
and International Caritas, the
Roman Catholic organization.
Catholic Relief Services and
Church World Service, an affiliate
of the National Council of
Churches, are the U.S. contacts.
American Jewish groups have
channeled funds through these
relief units.
Most of the actual work of
airlifting the supplies is carried
out by Nordchurchaid, a
plane-chartering agency formed
by Scandanavian Protestant
Churches. Roman Catholic and
Protestant groups in Germany
have coordinated their work with
Nordchurchaid.
Nordchurchaid, according to
the WCC spokesman, was set up
in late August because of the
failure - at that time - of the
Red Cross to bring massive relief
to the victims of the war.

HISTORY MAKING
A Red Cross press release said
that “visible progress toward
relieving the still desperate
situation of Biafra was
revealed...”
Dr. Herman Middlekoop, World
Council relief direction in Biafra,
recently stated that the
September death rate of 12,000
persons per day had not increased
in October but unless there is an
immediate cease fire, “it might
climb to 25,000 per day in
December.”
A WCC spokesman in Geneva
said that church supported
efforts would continue because
“we now believe there will be no
quick end to the fighting...and so
we must prepare ourselves for a
long haul...”
Food and medical supplies
totalling 4,800 tons have been
flown into Biafra by religious
agencies since the beginning of
the crisis there, according to
World Council statistics.

Holy See To Pay
Italian Taxes
VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Holy See has told the Italian
government that it will pay taxes on its dividend income if the
government insists. But it asked to be allowed to pay the back taxes
in installments.
This answer was sent to the
Italian government in an Aug. 29
note made public by the Holy
See.
The Vatican City daily,
"Osservatore Romano, said the
Italian government had stated it
would reply to this note and an
earlier note of July 9 on the same
subject. Both notes were
published, L’Osservatore Romano
said, “to furnish the necessary
elements for a judgment” by
public opinion.
The newspaper complained
that the press in Italy and abroad
had published “insinuations”
about the Holy See’s tax
situation that were offensive or
malicious.
The dispute with the Italian
government stemmed from Prime
Minister Giovanni Leone’s
declaration before parliament
that he did not intend to seek
parliamentary ratification for an
exchange of notes between the
Holy See and Italy
that...recognized the Holy See’s
exemption from taxation on
income from its holdings of
company shares.
Premier Leone’s declaration
(July 6), made when he was
seeking parliamentary
confirmation for himself and his
government, was given to
Socialists to gain their abstention
in the coming vote of confidence.
In its Aug. 19. note, a month
and a half after Leone’s
announcement, the Holy See sadi
that if the arguments it had
advanced against the imposition
of the tax were not accepted by
the Italian government, the Holy
See would like to know now how
much is demanded from it for the
tax in question.”
The Holy See declared “its
determination to contribute by
every means at its disposal to the
spiritual and material well being
of the Italian people, as it has
always done in the past.”
