ROYALTY AT MASS IN IRISH SEMINARY !
Dublin, Sept. 10 (NC)--Prince Rainier of Monaco
along with Princess Grace and their two children at-
tended Sunday Mass and breakfasted at St. Patrick's
College, the big national seminary at nearby May-
nooth.
The Prince and his family were spending a three-
week holiday at Carton House, a big estate which
they rented, and one of whose entrances is almost
opposite the main gate of the Maynooth Seminary.
Welcomed to the seminary for the Mass by the
rector and other officials, the family occupied spe-
cial prie-dieux. Following the Mass, at which both
the Prince and Princess received Holy Communion,
they were given breakfast.
Before leaving, they met the 13 Sisters of Charity
who do the catering for the college.
FIVE SUDANESE ORDAINED--Kampala, Ugan-
da, (NC)RThe first five priests to be trained in the
eight-year-old Catholic senior seminary in the Sudan
have now been ordained by Bishop Ireneus Dud, Vicar
Apostolic of Rumbek, the Sudan. They bring to 34
the number of Sudanese priests w among whom is
Bishop Dud.
The seminary, St. Paul's, is at Tore River in the
Rumbek vicariate. According to information reach-
ing here, it now has 100 seminarians in its eight-
year course---10 of them in their fourth year of the-
ology.
They come from all Church jurisdictions in the
Sudan. Before the opening of St. Paul's, Sudanese
seminarians generally studied at Gulu, Uganda.
TIME FOR FULL FREEDOMnBONN, Germany,
Sept. 12 (NC)mCatholic leaders in Czechoslovakia
have asked that country's Communist regime to re-
store full freedom to the bishops, priests and lay
people sentenced since the Red takeover in 1948 for
alleged anti-state activity.
According to the report of this action received
here by the German Catholic news agency KNA,
the request is timed with the government's trend
away from Stalinist repression toward "socialist
legality."
Last month the Czechoslovakian supreme court
announced its review of the cases against 481 per-
sons tried in 1949 and 1954. Most of the persons ha-
volved were adjudged "fully rehabilitated." The list
was made up exclusively of persons who once held
government or Communist party positions, however.
No Church leaders were included.
BROAD TRAINING URGED- TRIVANDRUM,
India (NC)--Archbishop James R. Knox, Apostolic
Internuncio to India, has urged religious orders to
train their members in all spheres of human activity.
The papal envoy, speaking at a reception
given in his honor by the Carmelite friars here,
recalled Pope Plus XII's appeal to Religious to in-
tensify their formation both spiritually and intel-
lectually.
Archbishop Knox stressed the role religious
communities can play in improvl,ng the spiritual con-
dition of society. He voiced regret that despite the
fact that India has over 20,000 Sisters, more than
half the parishes in the country have no convent.

Gronouski
18th Catholic
In Cabinet
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (NC)
--When John S. Gronouski, 43,
takes office as Postmaster
General, he will become the
18th Catholic to serve in a
President's Cabinet.
It also will mark the first
time that three Catholics have
held Cabinet posts simultan-
eously. The other two in Presi-
dent Kennedy's Cabinet are
Att. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy,
the President's brother, and
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Anthony J. Cele-
brezze.
Gronouski, who has been
Wisconsin's Tax Commissioner
in Madison. Wis., since Janu-
ary, 1960. was named Septem-
ber 9 by President Kennedy to
succeed J. Edward Day, who
resigned as Postmaster Gen-
eral last month,
Gronouski was born in Dun-
bar, Wis., and reared in Osh-
kosh. Wis., where he attended
St. Peter's School. He attended
Oshkosh State College and the
University of Wisconsin, from
which he was graduated in
1942. He served as a navigator
in the Army Air Force during
World War II.
After the war he held teach-
ing posts at the University of
Maine and Wayne University,
GROCERY Detroit. He has served in Wb-
STORES consin government ser vice
since 1959. He is married and
-=-_-_-. the father of two daughters.
will bring back memories to many of a fine hotel,
once a real showplace for Seattle society.
Built by Adolph Schmidt of Olympia Brewery
fame in 1907 at a cost of a million and a half dol-
lars, the New Washington was the immediate suc-
cessor to the Washington, or Denny Hotel, built
in 1888 at the top of Denny Hill.
The Washington, a short-lived, but popular hos-
telry, was unique in its inaccessibility. With no
streets running to the hotel patrons were transported
up the hill in a special cable car.
Torn down shortly before Denny Hill was
graded, the New Washington arose in 1907, its roof
on the same level as the old Washington's basement
due to the sluicing of Denny Hill.
Opened in 1908, the New Washington boasted
14 stories and was in a wooded area considerably
north of the main Seattle business area.
In 1926 Adolph Sehmidt, recalling the building
of the hotel admitted: "People thought we were
crazy to build clear out at Second and Stewart,"
but Schmidt believed that the upper end of the
business district would one day be the center of .....
activity and in 1928 he put an additional $75,000
worth of improvements into his hotel.
In 1955 the hotel was purchased by the Doric
Company and the Doric has operated it since.
Washington Told
Of Visit From Ti,o
WASHINGTON -- Tito will
make "an informal visit" to
Washington and confer with
President Kennedy October
17. The White House an-
nounced that Tito will stop
off at Washington en route to
Mexico and the United Na-
tions following a Latin Ameri-
can tour.
By J. J. Gilbert
WASHINGTON, Sept.
12 As of now, this
would seem to be the
situation with regard to
a visit to the United
States by Marshal Tito of
Yugoslavia:
There is a good chance that
he will come to the U.S. If he
does, he may meet President
Kennedy. Whether or not he
would come to Washington is
becoming a particularly inter-
esting question.
The Red dictator has wanted
for a long time to come to this
city and receive the red car-
pet treatment accorded a chief
of state. Previous attempts to
bring this off have provoked
such resounding protests that
the efforts were abandoned.
Now a new plan seems to be
in the works.
Earlier this year Tito began
to reiterate his desire to be a
visitor here. Then it was re-
ported that Tito would visit
Mexico, to repay a visit the
president of that country paid
to him. Some other Latin
American places announced
they might invite Tito for a
visit. It was suggested that,
while he was in this hemis-
phere, it might be a good idea
for him 'to visit the United
States.
This suggestion didn't stir
too much enthusiasm, and
Tito said he might, and later
he said he expected to visit
the United Nations General
Assembly beginning Septem-
ber 17.
Then a news story was point-
ed in this city saying President
Kennedy had tentatively plan-
ned to see Tito either at Hyan-
nis Port, Mass., or at New-
port, R.I., at the time of Tito's
visit to the United Nations. The
White House reacted to this by
saying the President had no
present plans to meet Tito this
fall, but it would not comment
on the possibility that Tito and
the President might meet at
the United Nations. Tito had
said that he expects to visit
the United Nations and that he
hopes to see the President at
that time.
While none of this is nailed
down, there is a belief here
that something is in the wind.
It is interesting that until
just recently no mention was
made of Tito coming to
Washington. Tito was invited
here, six or seven years ago,
and the invitation was post-
poned, but not canceled.
What happened was that an

The lobby of the New Washington Hotel is a charming meeting spot.
Like Facilities
impressive number of Con In Other Areas
gressmen said, in 1957, that
they would boycott any joint
session of Congress Tito might
be invited to acldress. What
Tito really wants is to come to
Washington and to receive an
official welcome. An address
to a joint session of Congress
is usually a part of such a wel-
come. The 1957 congressional
reaction so angered Tito that
he put off the idea of coming
at that time.
Reports from Zagreb, Yugo-
slavia, said that on September
7, Tito told U.S. Secretary of
Commerce Luther H. Hedges
that he would see him in
Washington in October. Hedges
was reported as replying:
"Yes, we are looking for-
ward to seeing you."
Hedges was escorting Tito
on a visit to the U.S. Pavi-
lion at a world's fair in
Zagreb, and Tito, reportedly,
said the two would meet
again in "five or six weeks."
That is about the most defi-
nite thing that has been said
about a Tito visit to this coun-
try, and especially regarding
his coming to this city.
Georgetown Has
Theme for t75th
Anniversary
WASHINGTON (NC)- "Wis.
dora and Discovery for a Dy-
namic World" will be the
theme of year-long observ-
ances celebrating the 175th an-
niversary of Georgetown Uni-
versity, oldest Catholic institu-
tion of higher education in the
United States.
The university said in an
announcement that the ob-
Servances of its feuding in
1789 will include "confer.
ences, symposia, lectures and
meetings of scholars and
other eminent men to con-
sider and illuminate the key
ideas, issues and opportuni-
ties of our time."
The anniversary celebration
will begin with a Mass of the
Holy Spirit September 26 on
the university's campus here
and will end with a convoca-
tion, December 3, 1964, mark.
ing the 149th anniversary of the
death in 1815 of Georgetown's
founder, Archbishop John Car-
roll of Baltimore.
Are In Plans
(Continued from Page 1)
The Archbishop pointed out
that there are in the State of
Washington about 250,000 per-
sons past the retirement age
of 64.
"Many of these face the fu-
ture with some fear and trepi-
dation," he said.
Archbishop Connolly contin-
ued:
"The problems of our aged
in this regard in many instances
have come dangerously close to
making them second-class citi-
zens. Financial worries of one
type or another frequently be-
set them. After busy lives, their
status suddenly changes, and
they often suffer a loss of pow-
er, income and prestige. Many
of them feel unwanted and lone-
ly, particularly if they have not
trained lhemselves to face old
age with any degree of equa-
nimity.
"The individuality of every
person of advanced years, his
hopes, aspirations and capaci-
ties, should be preserved. He
should be enabled to live in
maximum independence. He
should not be made to suffer
rejection and isolation be-
cause of his age. He should be
given the opportunity of rea-
lizing his obligation of par-
ticipating in the social and
community projects that ap-
peal to him.
"It is for such as these that
the Church must provide care,
s h e t t e r and companionship.
They must be given a wider,
more serene outlook on life as
a whole. Some point must be
given to their existence. Old age
is not necessarily a time of de-
cay and deterioration. The ac-
quisition of the New Washing-
ton Hotel will aid the Archdio-
cese of Seattle in no small man-
ner in discharging its obliga-
tions toward our senior citi-
zens.
"As circumstances warrant,
and as finances permit, similar
facilities will be acquired or es-
tablished in other areas
throughout the Archdiocese."
Msgr. Higgins Protests
Housing Discrimination
(Continued from Page 1)
adopted at a Chicago meeting
of its board of directors a pol.
icy statement on property
rights.
Msgr. Higgins said that the
statement held that property
owners have the right to own
and enjoy their property ac-
cording to their own dictates
and the right to occupy and dis-
pose of it without government
interference.
"To call a spade a spade,
this means that, in NAREB's
opinion, property owners should
have the legal right to discrim.
inate against Negroes," he said.
The philosophy behind t h i s
statement and another NAREB
declaration that a realtor
doesn't have the obligation to
change the mind of an owner
who objects to selling to a Ne-
of housing is most dishearten-
ing.
"It means, among other
things, that the social teaching
of the churches has had prac-
tically no influence in the real
estate profession," he said.
Of Catholic thought on this
subject, he said:
"If a property owner's badly
formed conscience tells him that
he can discriminate against Ne-
groes in the sale or rental of
his property then Catholic so-
cial teaching would say that the
government has the right and
may even have the duty to in-
tervene, in defense of the Ne.
gro's right to decent housing,
by enacting an 'open occupancy'
law."
Catholic real estate agents,
he said, ought to take time out
to check the NAREB's state-
ments with the social encycli.
gro is "almost a caricature of cals of the Popes on the same
19th-century laissez faire indi- subject.
vidualism," Msgr. H i g g i n s
charged.
"The fact that such an im-
portant organization still of-
ficially subscribes to this phi-
losophy and is still appealing
to it as a justification for ra-
cial discrimination in the field
"They will find that the en-
cyclicals flatly reject the notion
that anyone has the right to
'occupy and dispose of property
without government interfer-
ence in accordance with the dic-
tates of his conscience,' " he
said.

--Eastern and Latin Rite Bish-
ops gathered here for the en-
thronement of Bishop Stephen
J. Kocisko as head of the
newly created Byzantine Rite
Eparchy of Passaic.
Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi,
Apostolic Delegate to the Unit-
ed States, installed September

years) and repeating three
times the word, "Axles" (he
is worthy), twice after Bish-
op Koeisko was presented

Cardinal Bea Sees Signs
Optimistic For Unity
TRENT, Italy, Sept. 9
(Radio, NC) n Augustin
Cardinal Bea, S.J., said
here that the forces fav-
oring Christian unity are
strong enough to warrant con-
fidence in the results of efforts
toward unity.
The Cardinal, President of
the Vatican Secretariat for Pro-
moting Christian Unity, spoke
September 4 while he was pre-
siding over the third session
of the International Congress'
of Historians here. The con-
gress met to commemorate the
fourth centenary of the closing
of the Council of Trent.
Speakers on the day's pro-
gram we r e Prof. Thomas
Parker of Oxford University,
England, an Anglican, and
Prof. Peter Meinhold of Kiel
University, Germany, a Luth-
eran.
Parker, speaking on "The
Tridentine Reform Compared
with the Anglican Reform,"
noted that the word "reform"
has various meanings which
should be kept clear. In one
sense, he said, it refers to the
Protestant movement in oppo-
sition to Catholicism. In other
senses, he stated, it may dis-
tinguish doctrinal reform from
administrative reform.
Meinhold spoke on "Pro-
testants at Trent." He stress-
ed the fact that the second
period of the Council of
Trent, often passed over by
historians, was particularly
important because it was the
only period of the council at
which Protestant orators and
theorists were represented.
He noted that new forces
which were truly and properly
religious had come to maturity
on both Catholic and Protes-
tant sides at Trent, but that
they were so confused by
tical influences that it was im-
possible for them to achieve a
mutual understanding. He said
it might be possible to recover
these forces.
Commenting on this point,
Cardinal Bea said:
"The forces are sufficiently
strong and pure today to al-
low greater confidence in
their results. From a deeper
historical vision of those
events (at Trent) something
may be drawn to contribute
to mutual understanding."
Another speaker, Roy. Hu-
bert Jedin, examined debates
on the council over one of the
outstanding Tridentine r e -
forms, making it obligatory for
a bishop to live in his diocese.
Father Jedin, a professor
the University of Bonn and
author of a widely circulated
book on councils of the Church,
recounted the "struggle" at
Trent during 1562 over the ob-
ligation of a bishop to reside
where he ruled. He said inten-
s-ity of the dispute was ex-
plained by the varying con-
cepts of the Church itself
by council Fathers.
The result, he said, was a
form of compromise. It pre-
sented the obligation of
bishops to live in their dio-
cese simply as a pastoral
duty, not as implying any
limitation of the pontifical
jurisdiction.
A paper on the institution of
the seminary system of train-I
ing priests was presented by ""
Rev. James A. O'Donohoe of
the Boston archdiocesan, sem-
inary. Creation of a well edu-
cated clergy, he said, stands
among the most notable
achievements of the Cotincil of
Trent.
