In June it was reported that most priests in the Camaguey diocese had been expelled. ALL CUBAN bishops, except one, are at their posts, reports stated. Manuel Cardinal Artega Y Bentancourt, Archbishop of Ha vana is staying at the Argentine embassy in that city. Cuban priests who have not been expelled from the country, reports continued, remain at their posts but must carry out their du ties in th face of government re striction and a hostile atmosphere. They are encouraged by the soli darity of Cuban catholics, it was reported. It was also reported that in Ha vana and other cities there is a growing fervor among the people at the few religious services which are still being held. An increasing number of men are reportedly attending these services. AUXILIARY Bishop Eduardo Masvidal of Havana, reports said, is continuing his efforts to teach Catholic social doctrine in ser mons and through study groups and bulletins. The Castro regime is reportedly keeping in prison the Negro lead er, Alberto Cao, national presi dent of the Young Christian Workers’ organization, along with three other YCW leaders. Cao was arrested at the YCW office in March on a charge of possessing “counterrevolutionary” literature which according to reports, Castro agents had planted there. When priests were expelled from Camaguey, reports said, a Carmelite priest remained at the church of La Soledad—which was later desecrated—to consecrate hosts and distribute them among a selected group of laymen. The hosts were to be given to the sick and dying. THE FORCED departure of See Cuban Priests, page 8A lists five main factors British Cardinal Warns Of Rising Crime Rate LONDON —(NC)— Britain’s Cardinal has warned against mis guided sex education and the fre quent portrayal of violence and crime as the nation’s religious, government and medical leaders expressed alarm at a rising rate of crime and juvenile delinquen cy. William Cardinal Godfrey, Arch bishop of Westminster, also de nounced the idea that sin and crime are always the result of a pathological condition and said that psychiatry alone cannot solve the nation’s moral problems. THE CARDINAL spoke at the Catholic Laymen Seek Facts On Angola Story LONDON — (NC) — Leading Catholic laymen here appealed to the Portuguese government to al low the world’s press or the Unit ed Nations to investigate alleged savage punitive measures against insurgents in Angola. Among those who signed the appeal were Lord Longford (form erly Lord Pakenham); Humphrey Berkeley, Robert Mellish, and Dav id Price, all members of the House of Commons; Prof. James Camer on, Prof. Michael Fogarty, Bill Carron, trade union leader, and Robert Walsh, former editor of the Catholic Worker. After quoting Catholic episcopal statements from Africa condemn ing racial discrimination and ap proving sane nationalism, the let ter stated: “In Angola, a nationalist move ment has sprung up of the same character as Catholic authorities in Africa consider just. It now ap pears that most severe measures are being used against it by an avowedly Christian government... “If the Portuguese government is innocent of the charges made against it, facilities should be giv en to the international press — or perhaps even to the United Na tions — to investigate the position in Angola so that the Portuguese government may be exonerated.” Prior to the letter, a~ English Catholic Bishop pleaded for mod eration in Angola. Bishop George A. Beck, A.A., of Salford deplored the “savage” actions of both fac tions in the strife-torn colony. NO KID’S PLAY, THIS . . . even though Master Patrick Kiernan gives a hand to Fr.

Meanwhile, the annual conven tion of the British Medical Asso ciation reported a rise in venereal disease among youths and called on the schools and churches to take energetic remedial measures. The National Council for the Un married. Mother and Her Child said in its annual report that there is a rapid increase in the number of illegitimate births. In Parliament, Education Minis ter Sir David Eccles stated that one cause of juvenile delinquency appears to be the lack of religious convictions among school teachers and their uncertainty on moral issues. HOME SECRETARY R. A. But ler—whose ministry is responsible for all matters concerning crime in Britain—told Parliament that his ministerial research unit is carrying out the most extensive study it has ever undertaken on the causes of juvenile delinquen cy and the treatment of offenders. In his speech to the public mor ality congress, Cardinal Godfrey listed five main factors favoring crime and immorality. He said: 1. “Too much is said about the ‘facts of life’ and too little about the divine purpose of life. 2. “TO instruct children in groups about sex relationships, See British Cardinal, page 8A CAIP Endorses U.S. Foreign Aid Bills WASHINGTON — (NC) — The Catholic Association for Interna tional Peace has urged “prompt passage” of foreign aid bills that would give economic help to de veloping nations and military help to cold war allies. *■ The association’s executive council headed by CAIP president Charles Herzfeld of Washington, issued a statement supporting a Senate bill (S. 1983) and a House bill (H. 7372) presented concur rently to both branches of Con gress. Each bill is divided into the “Act for International Develop ment” (economic aid) and the “International Peace and Security Act” (military aid). “The new money authorizations requested for fiscal year 1962,” the council’s statement explained, “are $2.59 billion for all forms of economic assistance and $1.9 bil lion for military assistance.” Of the funds requested for economic aid, “appropriated funds will be required for $1.69 billion and the balance, $900 million, will not re quire” such appropriation but will come from long-term borrowing authority. The council said it “is pleased to note that the substance of most of the recommendations of the CAIP in 1959 have been incor porated in the new bills.” “We believe,” the statement said, “that the separation of the long-term social and economic ob jectives of the Act for Internation al Development from the hope fully short-term objectives of the International Peace and Security Act is a decided gain in the direc tion of a more effective foreign aid program. “Too many times in the past we have heard friends of the United States from the developing coun tries say that our aid efforts are not always fully appreciated when the peoples in these countries are led to believe that our only moti vation for these efforts stems from the cold war.” The statement stressed that “if the motivations for economic as sitance to the developing areas are known in terms of our advoca cy of social justice, and not mere ly as a reaction to communist OFFICIAL His Excellency, Vincent S. Waters, Bishop of Raleigh, announces the following ap pointments: Rev. Aedan Davis, S.A., Pastor of Our Lady of Atonement Parish, Kin ston, N.C., effective, July 16, 1961. Rev. Bernardine Watson, S.A., Pastor of Christ the King Parish, High Point, N.C., effective August 3, 1961. Robert E. McMahon Vice Chancellor threats, our aid efforts will be more effective—and, in the long run, our national interests will be better served.” The statements pointed out that “the heart of the economic as sistance bill is the proposed long term authority for loans repayable in dollars.” buildfag jag , Jock B,.-rJ0nville Parish 8u,Ws 4 He*u3t Ground breaking ceremonies were held this week for the first of four buildings to be erected in Infant of Prague Parish during the next six months. The new building consists of a full-size high school playing court, a large stage, which will also serve as a bleacher section during athletic contests, and two storage rooms on the upper level. On the lower level there will be a shower and locker rooms for both boys and girls, a large kitchen and a meet ing room. Permission has been received to spend $67,000.00 on this particular project which will serve as a tem porary church until the Cruciform Edifice is completed in 1962. The Architect for the present building is Theodore Peters and the con tractor is Grady Gillenwater. One of the features of the building is that it will be air-conditioned and that most of the light will come only from the North side to avoid any glare on the playing floor. It is expected to be completed in Oc tober. Before the building is completed the new Cruciform church will be under construction. The church will seat more people than any other church in North Carolina. The Cruciform Edifice is being de signed by Pavlecic and Kovacevic of Chicago. Before the new church opens its doors a new Elementary School and Convent will be under con struction. The new school will be under the guidance of the Sisters of St Francis of Glenriddle, Pa. These Sisters are conducting Im maculate Conception School at Clinton, North Carolina. Plans have been projected into the fu ture for having a Catholic High School in 1965.
