Priest Notes Absence
Of Catholics in Office
NEW YORK — (NC) — Father
Bernard P. Donachie said here it
seemed “a bit strange” that only
the Catholic Church should be ac
cused of trying to violate “the
wall of separation between Church
and State.”
Preaching at a Mass in St. Pat
rick’s cathedral, Father Donachie
said:
“As far as I know there are no
Catholic priests on the New York
Board of Education o” at the head
of any city-operated college. I
don’t ever remember hearing Cath
olics cry out against the fact that
there are Protestant ministers in
such positions.”
This was an apparent reference
to Rev. Gardner C. Taylor, former
president of the Protestant Council
of New York, who was a member
of the Board of Education, and to
Rev. Buell G. Gallagher, a Congre
gational minister, who is returning
March 1 to the presidency of City
College after an absence of eight
months.

Most Catholic Seniors
Eye Secular Schools
BUFFALO, N. Y. — (NC) —
How much need is there for New
man Clubs at secular colleges? A
survey taken here offers one
answer.
It shows that 51 per cent of local
Catholic high school seniors who
planned to attend college hoped to
enroll in non-Catholic institutions.
The percentage was much higher
among Catholic seniors in public
high schools. A full 89 per cent of
them planned to enter secular col
leges.
The survey was made last year
by the Newman Club Directorate
of the Buffalo diocese and its re
sults recently released. A total of
3,981 students responded to the
questionnaire. Of this number,
2,815 were from Catholic schools
and 1,166 from public schools.
The study also showed that 61
per cent of the respondents from
Catholic high schools intended to
enter college. Of those in public
schools, 39 per cent intended to
pursue higher studies.
North Ireland Bishops
Fear Land Seizure
LONDON — (NC) — Northern
Ireland’s Catholic Bishops have
buttressed their public protest
against a bill authorizing seizure
of church lands by sending a dele
gation to the government here.
Bishop Eugene O’Doherty of
Dromore and Auxiliary Bishop Wil
liam Conway of Armagh, Ireland’s
primatial See, brought the fears of
the Northern Irish Hierarchy be
fore the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Kilmuir.
The Lord Chancellor is speaker
of the House of Lords. At the time
the Bishops’ delegation approached
him, the bill was under debate in
the House of Lords and within a
step of becoming law.

Argentine President Says
His Nation Is Catholic
CORDOBA, Argentina — (NC)
—President Arturo Frondizi de
clared here that Argentina is
Catholic and democratic and there
fore cannot be materialistic or
communistic.
The President rejected charges
that Argentina’s striving for eco
nomic development is being made
at the cost of its spiritual values.
The true materialists, he said,
are those who deny the possibility
of progress, and thus aid the com
munist cause.
Frondizi asserted that there can
be neither spiritual development
nor cultural progress in a poverty
ravaged nation.
Education Aid Plan
Subject of Criticism
ST. LOUIS — (NC) — The pres
ident of Citizens for Educational
Freedom has charged that Rep.
Cleveland Bailey’s Federal aid pro
posal is “the Pontius Pilate ap
proach.”
David LaDriere, in a statement
from CEF’s headquarters here, said
the West Virginian legislator’s
proposal transfers “the burden of
discrimination from the Federal
government to 50 state agencies.”
The Bailey approach, on which
congressional hearings will begin
February 27, proposes letting the
states determine how to spend any
Federal school aid funds given
them.
Bailey has said this will “take
the heart out of the religious issue”
since each state would have to de
cide whether to aid private schools.

Priest Says Function
Of Press Is To Teach
MILWAUKEE — (NO) — “A
socially responsible newspress , :
teaches or it is a nuisance, or
worse,” a priest said at the “by-line
award” breakfast of Marquette
University’s College of Journalism.
Father Edward J. Drummond, ,
S.J., the university’s vice president
for academic affairs, said that both
the newspress and the universities
“must teach or they deny their
fundamental responsibilities.”
“Both the university and the
press must seek the truth and
transmit it without distortion and
in a context which makes it mean
ingful,” said Father Drummond. ✓!
“Both are recipients of a public
trust and confidence which can be
forfeited if they abuse their free
dom or are careless in their handl
ing of the truth.”
