Protest Against
Pill Ban Staged
WASHINGTON (UPI)—
Several hundred worshipers
filed out of Mass Sunday in
silent protest as Patrick Cardin
al O’Boyle publicly upbraided
Roman Catholics who disagree
with Pope Paul’s controversial
ban on birth control.
Hundreds more, however,
remained in their pews at St.
Matthew’s Cathedral while the
cardinal read a four-page letter
explaining why the pontiff’s
encyclical on contraception had
to be obeyed. When he finished,
they rose and appauded.
O'Boyle sent the letter, to be
read from the pulpit in place of
any sermon, to all 130 pastors
In the Washington Archdiocese
and similar demonstrations,
organized by two Catholic lay
groups, occurred In churches
throughout the nation’s capital.
A capacity crowd of 1,200
persons jammed St. Matthew's
—seven blocks north of the
White House—to hear the
cardinal. When he started to
speak, the exodus began but
O’Boyle neither paused in his
delivery nor gave any sign that
he was aware of the walkout.
Church officials estimated
later that about 200 persons left
the cathedral but it appeared to
newsmen that there were
almost three times as many
dissenters.
A spokesman for St. Mat
thew’s said those who left the
12:30 p.m. Mass and two
earlier services were not
parishioners and “only came
here to walk out.” The protest
organizers had planned a return
to worship when the cardinal
had concluded to demonstrate
their loyalty to the church but
few if any were seen re-entering
the cathedral.
The cardinal’s primary objec
tive Sunday was to defend
disciplinary action he took this
week against 13 of 44 Washing
ton area priests who have
openly disagreed with him and
the Pope. The penalties ranged
from virtual suspension to
restrictions on certain pastoral
functions, Including the right to

The priests argue that they

Living is easier with natural gas A family-sire gas water heater lets father, mother
and all the children bathe before bedtime.
Makes sure that the last bath is as hot and
relaxing as the first. Baths, shaving,
laundry, dishes, all your hot water needs are
supplied. And this important convenience
is provided by an appliance that works faster
and lasts longer...and by a fuel that’s more
economical and more dependable.
Really a hot combination.

6 US Copters
By JACK WALSH
SAIGON (UPI) — Communist
gunners shot down six U.S.
helicopters, two of them sup
porting U.S. Marines in and
near the Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ), military spokesmen
said today. The losses raised
the U.S. helicopter battle toll to
869.
The spokesmen said six
crewmen were listed as missing
from a twin-rotor CH46 Marine
helicopter downed in the south
ern portion of the buffer zone
Saturday while re-supplying a
2,000-man Marine sweep there.
They said the craft plunged into
Red-held territory.
A second helicopter was cut
down Friday while supplying
troops operating just below the
demilitarized strip between the
two Vietnams, W’here U.S. and

Sopkesmen today reported
that U.S. Marines captured a
North Vietnamese base camp
with 300 foxholes and 1,220
mortar rounds in an unopposed
seizure near where the second
chopper crashed. Not far away,
government troops killed 98 Red
troops with “light” losses.
Two other helicopters were
shot down near Pleiku in the
Central Highlands, one was
downed Sunday on the northern
coast and the sixth went down
Sunday 18 miles south of
Saigon.
Ten Americans Wounded
A total of 10 Gls were
wounded in the crashes and
eight others rescued unharmed,
the spokesmen said.
Apart from the DMZ action
by Marines and government
troops, ground action was light
Sunday and today. South
Vietnamese regional forces
reported killing nine members
of the Viet Cong platoon four
miles outside Saigon, without
suffering a loss.
Spokesmen said bad weather
held U.S. fighter-bombers to 76
missions over North Vietnam
Sunday where they reported
destroying or damaging 30
supply boats.
The Marine unit probing
country just six miles south of
the DMZ described the base
camp as a heavily fortified
honeycomb of trenches that
housed a troop graveyard as
well as the weapons cache. It
was the second base camp
found in the area in two days.
