Archdiocesan Development Fund Opens
THE MOST Reverend Thomas A. Connolly, Archbishop of Seattle (right),
points out the main entrance to the proposed South Seattle archdiocesan
• high school, depicted in an architect's sketch. Looking on are Very Rev.
Ailbe M. McGrath (left), archdiocesan moderator of the First Annual
Archdiocesan Development Fund campaign, and the Most Reverend Thomas
E. Gill, V.G., Auxiliary Bishop of Seattle. The South Seattle school will be
the first of five immediate co.instructional high schools to be constructed.
Construction Of High Schools First On List
Other schools following on schedule will be in the Bellevue, South Tacoma,
Vancouver and North King County areas. Further long,range plans call for
high schools hi Aberdeen, Bellingham, Chehalis, Everett, Longview and
Renton areas. All schools will accommodate up to 1,500 students. The drive
will underwrite a sweeping $1,500,000 program that also includes expansion
of facilities at St. Edward's Seminary and the erection of homes for the aged.

t h e A s i a n Population
Conference to be held in
India in December has been
questioned by three members
of the U. N. Population Com-
mission.
Vittorio Castellano of Italy,
Jacques Mertens de Wilmar of
Belgium, and Francisco An-
tonio Carillo of El Salvador
all expressed reservations re-
garding certain items on the
proposed agenda of the con-
ference.
The Population Commission
was considering the report of
the preparatory committee
for the Asian conference,
which is to take place under
the auspices of the U.N.
Economic Commission f o r
Asia and the Far East
(ECAFE).
The proposed agenda in-
cludes an item on "policies de-
signed to affect population
trends," such as family plan-
ning and public health mea-
sures, an item requiring re-
ports on measures taken by
governments to limit popula-
tion growth, and a final item
calling for conclusions and re-
commendations.
The three commission
members stressed that pop-
ulation policies are strictly
the province of governments
and urged the United Nations
to keep clear of decisions re-
gardinueh policies.
Castellano asserted that the
prestige and authority of tl.e
U.N. could be damaged if it
accepted responsibility for such
decisions. He said he consider-
ed the request for government
reports and the item on family
planning and public health
measures in the context of
policies designed to affect the
rate of population growth to
be "tendentious subjects."
The effects of pubic health
measures (such as lower death
rates and longer life expect-
" " d "
ancy) cannot be neutrahze ,
Castellano said, by family plan-
ning measures.
persons expressing an opinion in a nationwide poll
said they are in favor of Federal aid to parochial and
other private schools.
Results of the poll indicated a sharp change in
public opinion on the question as compared to two years ago.
Gallup Poll reporters asked a representative sampling of the
nation's adults the following question:
If the Federal government in Washington decides to give
money to aid education, should the money go only to public
schools, or should the money go to help Catholic and other
private schools as well?
Forty-nine per cent said such aid should go tO Catholic and
other private schools; 44 per cent favored aid to public schools
only; and seven per cent expressed no opinion.
Chancje In Opinion
When the identical question was asked two years ago by
Gallup Poll reporters, 57 per cent of Americans polled felt that
Federal aid should go only to public schools; 36 per cent favored
such aid for Catholic and other private schools; and 7 per cent
expressed no opinion.

when he reached here after 18

Pope John greeted his release
as "a stirring consolation for

Priest Saves Boy's Life;
Declines Unusual Reward
DAVAO, P.I. (NC)--A young
missioner with a Jeep, filling
in for the town's ambulance,
saved a young boy's life here.
In the dark of night, Mary-
knoll Father Edward M. Ger-
lock, of Binghamton, N.Y.,
rushed the ll-year-old boy
suffering from a ruptured ap-
pendix, across dangerous, rug-
ged trails to the hospital over
100 miles away.
The boy, Domingo Casas,
was saved by the operation.
Then the young priest talked
to the hospital staff and had
the boy listed as a hospital
charity case.
The boy's family learned of
all that the young priest had
done for their son. Next day
they came to the mission to
thank him. The father ex-
plained to Father Gerlock:
"Padre I can never repay
you for all that you did. We
have no money. But I want
to give you my boy. He will
be strong soon and he will
be a good worker."
It took all of 30 minutes for
the Maryknoller to explain to
the grateful father that he
could not accept such an offer
but was only glad to help out.

bard seminary in Rome. That
s am e afternoon Archbishop
Slipyi was in the Pope's private
chapel praying at the side of
the Supreme Pontiff to whose
office he had remained stead-
fastly loyal through 18 years of
suffering.
Tensions Diminish
The dramatic release of Arch-
bishop Slipyi from confinement
is interpreted here as being a
first visible sign of a relaxing
of tensions between the Holy
See and the Soviet Union.
There is no specific official
declaration to this effect. Nor
is it possible to deduce it di-
rectly, since a mask of silence
has been clamped on all com-
petent sources in the Vatican
which might throw light on the
Archbishop's freedom.
But a change of policy can
be deduced by piecing to-
gether bits of information un-
officially I e a k e d to Italian
journalists and later identi-
fied by competent sources as
being true.

Of Collective
Bargaining
CHICAGO, Feb. 11 (NC) --
Secretary of Labor W. Willard
Wirtz told a Catholic group
here a new form of collective
bargaining is developing and
the Federal government is plan-
ning to aid it.
Wirtz spoke February 8 to the
John A. Ryan Forum sponsored
by the Catholic Council on
Working Life. The forum is
named for the late Msgr. Ryan,
first director of the Social
Action Department of the Na-
tional Catholic Welfare Confer-
ence.
The L a b o r Secretary said
that the new movement in col-
lective bargaining is to make
arrangements for the parties to
deal, during the contract per-
iod, with mutual problems, such
as adjustment to automation.
These discussions, he said,
are intended to prevent the
parties from waiting until the
contract has expired and two
or three years of problems
and disagreements have ac-
cumulated, he said.
"I suggest that the govern-
ment must respond to this new
form," he said, noting that the
Federal Mediation Service has
already begun through its ef-
forts to supply parties in na-
tionally important negotiations
with fact-finding studies.
John XXIII has expressed his
"profound grief" over the
plight of 470,000 Catholics in
southern Sudan who are being
deprived of the comforts of
their religion.
Father Endrizzi's letter was
in reply to a statement by S.
A. M. Salih, press and informa-
tion officer, of the Sudan Em-
bassy in Washington, which was
published by the News.
The member of the Sons of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
expelled from the Sudan in
January, said while there may
be some religious freedom in
the northern part of the coun-
try, there is none in the
southern part.
There were few missioners
among 102 expelled from last
November to January engaged
in education b e c a u s e most
members of the educational
staff were expelled between
1957 and 1962 "since the con-
fiscation of our schools."
The only true reason for ex-
pelling the missionaries was
that they as instructors and
spiritual guides of the Chris-
tians are by the very nature of
their work interfering with the
state's aim of stifling Christian-
ity in southern Sudan," Father
Endrizzi wrote.
"The missionaries, therefore,
have apparently become un-
wanted witnesses to the anti-
Christian policy of the state."

There is really nothing
to worry about this week.
The S o v i e t troops and
hardware in Cuba areno threat
to the U.S. Khrushchev himself
has given this assurance.
He may not be too reliable,
however, because he said he
didn't know exactly how many
Soviet troops are presently in
Cuba, but they offered no
threat because they were only
instructing Cubans in the Use
of modern weapons--defensive
weapons, of course.
We have been assured that all
Soviet offensive weapons have
been withdrawn from Cuba and
all the Red soldiers would be
leaving "in due course," ac-
cording to a letter from
Khrushchev to President Ken-
e nedy, which has not yet been
made public.
"In due course" mlght
mean never, or until they are
pushed out. At least, until
they shall have served their
purpose.
President Kennedy is report-
ed to have written to Khrush-
chev about the matter this
week, and U. S. Ambassador to
Moscow, Foy D. Kohler, is ex-
pected to press the issue when
he reaches the Kremlin.
It is about time somebody
blew the whistle on the dilly-
dallying tactics of the Soviets,
which continue to endanger the
safety of the Western. Hemi-
sphere.
The present controversy over
this important issue is not likely

A sweeping program
looking to the construc-
tion of a large number
of Catholi regional high
schools, expansion facili-
ties at St. Edward's Seminary,
Kenmore, and the erection of
homes for the aged was out-
lined today by His Excellency,
Most Reverend Thomas A. Con-
holly, Archbishop of Seattle.
The program is long-range
in scope and will require sev-
eral years for completion. To
help finance the project, Arch-
bishop Connolly also announced
today the establishment of the
First A n n u a I Archdiocesan
Development Fund campaign in
which every Catholic of the
Archdiocese will be asked to
participate.
Minimum Goal Set
Minimum goal of the cam-
paign has been set at $1.5 mil-
lion and the all-out effort to
raise this sum will be con-
ducted in all 112 parishes of
the Archdiocese.
"The Catholic high school,"
said Archbishop Connolly, "is
the keystone in the arch of
Catholic education. It is not
only necessary for the main-
tenance of our faith and the
continuance of the work of the
Church in the next generation
but it is and will be the great
bulwark of the State in the
years that are to come."
"We are still passing through
the second pioneering stage in
the history and the develop-
ment of the Archdioce.4e. There
is a continuing need for US to
look ahead and to make ample
provision for the future growth
ol the Church in this area and
for the spiritual development
and training of its youth. :
"Such a program of expan-
sion requires a financial out-
lay of no small measure for
it is concerned with the con-
struction of new high schools
as well as with the proper
provision of other needed
facilities. These projects are
the responsibility of the
Archdiocese as such rather
than of any individual
parish."
Archbishop Connolly pointed
out that this is the first time
he has appealed to the priests
