the Yukon Territory at public expense.
The school is tO be located at Watson Lake in

The approval came after weeks of debate in
the council over the budget term. On two occasions
the councilmen voted 3 to 3 on the item and the
issue was decided by a vote of the chairman in fa-
vor of the construction.
Harry Thompson, superintendent of schools, told
the council there were 35 white and 23 Indian chil-
dren who wished to attend the school. The counciJ
also was told that the Catholic Church would build
a convent for Sisters who will teach at the school.

France, May 22 (NC)--The bishops of six French dio-
ceses have announced a joint reorganization of their
major seminaries aimed at trai.ning their priests to
be "educators of the Faith" for today's world.
Archbishop Louis Ferrand of Tours and the
Bishops of Le Marts, Sees, Laval, Blois and Chartes
said in a joint statement:
"We have just made a choice which profound-
ly involves the future of our dioceses."
Up to now, almost all of France's 90 dioceses
have had their own major seminaries.
Seminarians from Sees, Laval and Le Mans will
now study two years of philosophy at Sees. Those
from Tours, Blois and Chartres will study philosophy
at Tours.

'THE APPLE OF HIS EYE'--Vatican City, May
22 (Radio, NC)His Holiness Pope John XXIII told
1,500 children here that they are the apple of his eye
"because you are children who pray with the natural
vivacity of your age."
The children are members of the Association of
the Living Rosary, whose members are supposed to
pray the Rosary every day.
They came on a special train of 115 cars in hon-
or of the 15 mysteries of the Rosary.
"We would like to think that the affection We
feel for you reflects the love Jesus had in His heart
when little children surrounded Him and He listened
tO them and blessed them tenderly," Pope John sakl.
VATICAN DENIES REPORTS Vatican City,
May 22 (Radio, NC)--A high Vatizan spokesman de-
nied news stories attributed to Vatican sources pre-
dicting the "imminent" departure of Jozsef Cardinal
Mindszenty from Hungary.
The Italian news agency, ANSA, had stated
that the Cardinal Primate of Hungary, who has
been living in asylum at the U. S. legation in Buda-
pest since 1956, would soon leave Hungary.
: The Vatican spokesman said (May 4) the Holy
See was "still in the dark" about the reports.
RECITE ROSARY AT WORK Moncalvo Di
Monferrato, Italy, May 21 (NC)--Probably one of the

saying the Rosary.
More than 1,000 shirts a day, depending on
the design, leave the shirt factory here managed by
the Salesian Sisters. Most of them stay in Italy,
but many of them are exported for one of the big-
name brands in the United States.
The building looks like a factory: drab red brick,
drawing out a long, characterless front, scarcely re-
lieved by a few small, square windows. That iz what
it was meant to be.
CALLS FOR USE OF UNCULTIVATED LANDS
--Quite, Ecuador, May 22 (Radio, NC) -- Ecuador's
Bishops have called for land reform and the cultiva-
tion of unused lands to help solve Ecuador's eco-
nomic problems.
A joint pastoral letter, signed by Carlos Maria
Cardinal della Terra, Archbishop of Quite, three
archbishops, 12 bishops and six other prelates, also
urged that technical, financial and humanistic
training be made available to the country's farmers.
The Bishops said that they "cannot remain in-
different before sufferings of the temporal order en-
dured by so many of our sons; the human commun-
ity cannot realize its spiritual aims independently of
the temporal realities it is submerged in."

MORE PRIESTS OUSTED FROM SUDAN --
Verona, Italy, May 21 (NC) w The arrival here of
two more priests expelled from the Sudan brought
the total number of Catholic missionaries ousted by
the Sudanese Muslim-controlled government to 108.
The Rev. Fathers Angelo Confalonieri, F.S.C.J.,
and Raffaele Tessitore, F.S.C.J., arrived at the head-
quarters of the Sons of the Sacred Heart here April
20. Both were ejected from the Vicariate Apostolic of
Wau, in the Southern Sudan.
Father Confalonieri, former vice rector of the
minor seminary in Wau, was deported on charges
of having entered a nationalized school. Father
Tessitore was charged with having given religious
instructions to minors without government author-
ization.
The ouster of Father Confalonieri climaxed a
running war against him by the Sudanese regime.

He expressed "personal mis-
givings over the reports that
the Department of State plans
to re-establish normal diplo-
matic relations with the Kadar
government and that it has de-

garish delegation to the United
Nations.
"I believe that it would be
a terrible mistake if we take
these actions," the Senator
said May 20.
"Last Tuesday I dispatched

Hungarian delegation have been

ons:der or discuss the impli-
cations of this reversal of
policy."
Sen. Dodd's stand was sup-
ported by several other sena-
tors, including Frank J.
Lausche of Ohio, Kenneth B.
Keating of New York, Roman
Hruska of Nebraska and Strom
Thurmond of South Carolina,
and Jacob K. Javits of New
York.
Calling attention to a recent
St ate Department memo-
randum outlining the new
policy on Hungary, Sen. Dodd
said it "justifies the proposed
reversal of policy by referring
to improved conditions in
Hungary, and to the granting
government and the Catholic
Church and of the fact that
more American motion pictures
are being shown."
"I confess that I cannot un-
derstand this reasoning," the
Senator asserted.
"There may have been some
minor abatement of tyranny
since the Hungarian Revolution
was suppressed in blood. But
the essential facts remain that
the present government was
imposed on the Hungarian
people by Soviet bayonets, that
it had defied repeated U.N.
resolutions, and that it does
not dare submit itself to free
elections under U.N. auspices.
"Any improvement that may
have taken place is of alto-
gether secondary importance.
"The greatest single ac-
complishment of the Hungar-
ian Revolution was that it
succeeded in decolleetivizing
the Hungarian peasants. The
Kadar government, using
coercion of all kinds, has
forced the Hungarian peas-
ants back into the hated col-
lectives. Today, 96.5 per cent
of all the Hungarian farm
land is collectivized- the
highest percentage in any
satellite nation."
"The proposed revision of
policy on Hungary seeks to
relax tensions with the Soviet
Union and thus reduce the
danger of war," he stated.
"But if we destroy the hope
and the will to resist of the
captive peoples we shall be
removing the single most im-
portant deterrent to Soviet
aggression. It is my convic-
tion that such a policy would
make the leaders of the Krem-
lin more certain of themselves,
more arrogant, more demand-
ing, more prepared to risk ag-
gression.
"It would, in short, under-
mine our own security and
posite of what its propon-
ents hope it will accomp-
lish."
Senator Lausche s a i d :

Senator Keating said: "I
am very much concerned about
this matter . . . and I sin-
cerely trust that this will not
be the first step toward offi-
cial U.S. recognition of the
brutal and ruthless Hungarian
regime which slaughtered its

Senator Hruska said "ap-
parently the skids are being
fixed to reward Hungary" with
U.N. membership instead of
giving her "the criticism she
deserves."
Senator Thurmond said "it
would be a marked disservice
if the government of the United
States were to recognize the
Hungarian regime," and "a
great mistake if Hungary,
under its present government,
were to be admitted to the
United Nations."
Senator Javits said the Hun-

against humanity" and does

current talks between the Vatican and Hungary, ac-
cording to the Italian news agency ANSA.
Vatican sources would neither confirm nor deny
the report, but one source
said that the approach, if true,
"would seem to fit into the
new climate" developing be-
tween the Vatican and Com-
munist countries.
"Czechoslovakia also desires
to start conversation with the
Vatican to examine the same
problems which are being
negotiated between Hungary
and the Holy See," the ANSA

It quoted "informed sourc-

to Vienna for this purpose
and met Franziskus Cardi-
nal Koenig, Archbishop of
Vienna before he came to
Rome May 16.
"Cardinal Koenig stressed
the need that he meet first
with Archbishop Josef Beran
of Prague who is still confined
in the monastery of Teltsch in
southern Moravia," ANSA said.
"This meeting, however, has
not yet been authorized by the

By Bill Fanning
NEW YORK, May 23
(1;qC)mThe Second Vati-
can Council will speak
out on peace and war,
Leo Cardinal Suenens,
Archbis'hop of Malines-Brussels,
Belgium, has disclosed.
Cardinal Suenens, here to ad-
dress a meeting of the U.S.
committee for the United Na-
tions on the recent papal peace
and war in a special schema
on vital world problems.
This schema will take up
such issues as population, hun-
ger, race, the developing na-
tions, the Church and the in-
dividual, the Church and cul-
ture, and the Church and so-
cial and economic affairs, he
said in an interview.
The Cardinal is head of the
commission drafting this
schema. Cardinal Suenens al-
so said he sees "no reason"
why newsmen should not be
admitted to at least some
sessions of the council.
Cardinal Suenens was asked
whether Pope John had advo-
cated unilateral disarmament
in his peace encyclical, in the
event that both sides could not
be persuaded to disarm. He
replied:
"No. In Pope John's view
both sides must disarm."
The Belgian Cardinal spoke
at length of the need for
making the Church's message
more intelligible to the modem
world. He interpreted the di-
vision of the council Fathers
at the first session over the
question of the sources of Rev-
elation in these terms, saying:
"It was largely a question of
how to express ourselves. Some
stressed the need of under-
lining principles in all things
and of saying exactly what has
always been said.
"Some wanted to say things
so that all can understand
them properly. These are dif-
ferences over modes of ex-
pression and such things can
be quite important."

earlier had addressed the United States Committee for the United Nations in New York
as a personal envoy of the Holy Father. (Religious News Service Photo).
He said it is "always im-
portant" that the Church ex-
press itself effectively but
"today it is more important
than ever."
"There are so many misun-
derstandings," he said. "Words
change so easily in meaning.
And today so many people do
not unders'tand religious affairs
• . . Matters of religion must
be expressed to them very
clearly and exactly and in
some detail if they are to un-
derstand what we are talking
about."
Cardinal Suenens stressed
that laymen, must have a more
active role in the Church.
"We must emphasize that
the lay person has not only
the role of helping the priest
materially, but of helping
him in his spiritual role,
too," he said.
"The layman must share in
spreading the kingdom of
God in the world."
While in Chicago, Cardinal
Suenens told reporters that he
spoke with His Holiness re-
cently and that he "is not
dangerously ill."
"Our prayers are that Al-
mighty God spare him for us
for many years," the Belgian
prelate said.
