Archdiocese Ready
For Clothing Drive
I r' ":. j
i
Catholics of the Arch-
diocese of Seattle will
have an opportunity to
contribute toward the relief of
poor and homeless people over-
seas during the 15th annual
Thanksgiving Clothing Collec-
tion to be conducted this year
during Thanksgiving Week.
The Clothing Campaign is
one of the principal means by
which the Bishops of the Unit-
ed States give aid to the needy
around the world.
Last year, relief supplies
worth some $25 million were
donated by U.S. Catholics to
the drive. Clothing received in
the collection is shipped by the
Catholic Relief Services, an
agency of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, to distri-
bution centers in areas of need
and distress in 67 countries.
According to the Most Rev-
erend Thomas A. Connolly,
D.D., Archbishop of Seattle,
the greatest need this year is
for a heavy type of clothing
and blankets, but any good
used clothing is acceptable and
welcome.
"This work of charity is im-
portant not only in combatting
Red propaganda but in winning
over the minds and hearts of
people by showing them Chris-
tianity in action," the Arch-
bishop said.
Clothing donations should be
taken to parish churches,
which are the centers for the
Clothing Collection.

Pope Hopes To Give Rome
00arishes 'New Vitality'
ROME ( N C ) -- Pope
Paul VI, on taking pos-
session of his cathedral
church, the Archbasilica
of St. John Lateran, said
hopes to give "new vitality"
the parishes of his See of
Rome.

Khrushchev was in his
glory when he lectured
a score of U.S. leading busi-
nessmen and achieved a trade
victory.
The occasion was the 46th
iVersary of the Bolshevik
volution which was cele-
ted by a military parade, a
display of what assertedly were
anti-missile missiles, and ora-
tory threatening the U.S.

some 2,000 guests, including the
American executives, that the

"pastoral visits" to encourage
them.
Fifty cardinals and 1,200 pa-
triarchs, archbishops and bish-
ops were among the more than
20,000 at the stately rites which
lasted more than four hours.
Thousands lined the route the
Pope took across Rome from
Vatican City to the Lateran.
The Pope received the keys
to the basilica, symbolizing his
assumption of full powers as
Bishop of Rome, when he
reached the entrance. He him-
self offered Mass at the basili-
ca's main altar.
In a discourse after the
Gospel, the Pope recalled that
the Lateran basilica had been
the scene of five ecumenical
councils and that its history
marked the progress "some-
times slow and painful, some-
times free and victorious, of
the mysterious passage of
Christ through time."
"Today," he said, "this basil-
ica, as never before in the long
centuries of its existence, holds
almost all the world's episco-
pate to receive splendidly and
solemnly the latest of her pon-
tiffs, the lowliest and most
humble" in the whole line of
popes.
"He has no right to enter
here as lord and master," he
said, "other than the irrefuta-
ble right of having been canon-
ically elected Bishop of Rome."
Speaking to the cardinals, pa-
triarchs and bishops, the Pope
said:
"Brethren, it seems to Us
that no other place in the
world, no other hour than the
present one, gives Us the ha.p-
piness to celebrate, to experi-
ence in a practical way, this
living charity, this mystical
presence of Christ in man-
kind: 'I am with you.' He is
here with us and for us."
Then, speaking of Rome, he
said: "We realize that Our re-
lations with the city are differ-

Cardinal Spellman Asks
Progress In Rights
NEW YORK (NC)--Francis Cardinal Spellman
has called on the country to "move rapidly ahead"
in giving all citizens equal opportunity in jobs,
housing and education.
"A momentum has developed; it must not be
allowed to lag," the Archbishop of New York sdid.
"Not content with mere general declarations of principle,
we must involve ourselves with all men of good will in specific
efforts to advance the great cause of equal rights," he added.
Cardinal Spellman's remarks were contained in a letter
sent to the Thomas More Society here in connection with
its fourth annual Civil Rights Mass, November 16. The Mass
is being offered in St. Francis Xavier Church.
Praising the observance, Cardinal Spellman said it is "most
fitting that the great prayer of the Mass be offered that true
human dignity and due civil status be properly recognized
Council Fathers Look Homeward
ROME, Nov. 13
Things are looking up
around these parts late-
ly. Airline agents haunt
the hotel lobbies now,
1 o o k i n g for business,
seeking to arrange re-
turn reservations for the
Fathers of the Council,
etc.
All this points to the fact
that the end is in sight, that
the Council will end in three
weeks, on December 4, as or-
iginally scheduled, that if we
happen to survive the deluge
of verbiage under which we
have been submerged, we shall
return to our respective arch-
dioceses and dioceses at that
time, with the help of the Good
Lord. It will be good to be
back at home, sweet home and

to drip a tearful welcome!
Thus far, no date has been
mentioned for the opening of
the next session of the Coun-
cil, although there are a num-
ber of rumors making the
rounds, as usual. If you don't
like a particular rumor, yon
can start your own on its way
and eventually it will c o m e
back to you, more or less rec-
ognizable and guaranteed as
coming from a reliable
source! ! !
Rumors Affect India Bishops
The Holy Father is reputed
to have told the bishops from
India that the Council would
open September 4 next year
and close on November 15.
This would permit the bishops
from India to return home to
prepare for the International
Eucharistic Congress which is
scheduled for Bombay from
November 26 to December 3.
Archbishop of Seattle
Viii Western Union
It would likewise allow other
Council Fathers to take in the
congress on their way home.
Another rumor is to the
effect that there will be no
Council session next year,
that the various commissions
would remain in Rome
through the year working
constantly on the various
schemata or theses or con-
stitutious or agenda, as you
will, so that they would be
presented to the Fathers in
a more logical sequence,
better defined and more in
harmony with the central
theme of the Second Vatican
Council than has been the
case this session.
There must be greater in-
sistence on the genuine pas-
toral character of the Council,
on the effort to reassess the
position of the Church in the
modern world and to discover
ways and means to improve
its approach to all men. We
shall see what happens for the
next week s h o u 1 d tell the
story.
Congratulated Archbishop
Carinci
Last week I had the privilege
of shaking the hand of a 101-
year-old prelate, Archbishop
Alfonso Carinci, the retired
secretary of the Sacred Con-
gregation of Rites. Fie cele-
brated his birthday last Thurs-
day and while he is somewhat
feeble, suffering as he does
from anne domini, he appeared
at the Council and received an
enthusiastic round of applause
from the Fathers. His mind is
clear and he has the full use
of his faculties, hearing, sight,
etc., which is rather excep-
tional.
It so happens that during
these days there is a sharp de-
bate going on regarding the
age at which bishops should
retire from their posts or rath-
er, should be made to retire
from the government of their
dioceses. There are many ar-
guments being advanced for a
legal enactment to force re-
tirement for a pious exhorta-
tion would have little or no
consequence. It appears to me
that eoad]utor bishops and aux-
iliaries are in the vanguard of
this onslaught, probably with
some reason for traditionally,
when a bishop receives the
services of a coadjutor bishop
to assist him in his declining
years, he seems all of a sud-
den to take a new lease on
life.
However, Archbishop Car-
inci does net seem to be in.
terested in the outcome of
the present discussion.

Dismissed Auqust 16:
Hue Buddhists Welcome
Reinstated Priest
BY REV. PATRICK
O'CONNOR
SAIGON (NC)Budd-
hists in Hue gave an en-
thusiastic welcome home
November 9 to their fa-
vorite Catholic priest.
He is Rev. Paul Can van
Luan, who has been reinstated
by Vietnam's military council
and provisional government as
rector of the state university in
Hue. His dismissal followed the
Buddhist protest demonstra-
tions.
His summary dismissal Au-
gust 18 sparked a protest
movement among Hue profes-
sors and students that spread
to the student world in the
university and some second-
ary schools in Saigun.
"About 500 people gathered
at the airport to welcome Fa-
ther Luan, and 1,000 formed a
parade that conducted him into
er informed the N.C.W.C. News
Service by telephone from Hue.
"They put him on top of a
sports car and people waved at
him from windows as the pa-
rade went through the streets.
It was quite enthusiastic."
Buddhists are said to make
up ,30% of Hue's population,
estimated at 100,000. Hue parish
statistics show 15,800 Catholics
in the city. The great majority
of the 50 full-time professors
(of whom more than 40 re-
signed in protest over Father
Luan's dismissal) and most of
the 2,500 students enrolled in
Hue University are non-Chris-
tians.
Catholics, Confueianists and
others ioined the Buddhists in
last August's protests and in
calling for the priest's return.
They joined again in the pub.
Hc welcome.
Father Luan's reception in
Hue, w h e r e Buddhists first
clashed wth the former gov-
ernment's forces, is a n o t h e r
sign that the real issue is not

When he became the Ordinary
of Melbourne in 1917, the Arch-
bishop was already a contro-

In 1920, following a speaking
