Jewish Group
Gives Award
To Cardinal
BOSTON — (NC) — Richard
Cardinal Cushing touched off a
cheering demonstration by an audi
ence of 1,300 Jewish persons here
when he predicted the Second
Vatican Council will approve a
declaration absolving Jews of di
rect blame in the death of Christ.
“If we don’t, I’m wasting my
time talking of brotherhood,” said
the archbishop of Boston after he
was presented with the annual
Good Will Award of Temple
Ohabei Shalom Brotherhood, old
est and largest Jewish organiza
tion of its kind in the country. He
was selected for the award because
of his “compassion, generosity,
love and brotherhood.”
Cardinal Cushing said the one
great fear communists have cen
ters around religion. He added:
“For that reason they try to elimi
nate it from the lives of their
people.”
He said that he has 25 engage
ments to talk to groups of other
religious faiths, including a lodge
of Masons, before Easter. The
cardinal added: “Who would have
thought even five yeears ago that
a Catholic archbishop would be
preaching good will in a Protestant
church or in a synagogue? Or that
a rabbi would be addressing other
faiths? We sure have come a long
way in a short time — and its
going to get better.”
and has performed numerous oth
er government assignments.
The Danforth visiting lecturers
program is sponsored by the Dan
forth Foundation and the Asso
ciation of American Colleges “to
strengthen the intellectual, the re
ligious and the cultural aspects of
liberal education in the United
States.”

Relaxed Atmosphere
Church Croups Back School Aid
In Peaceful House Hearing
WASHINGT^J—(NC) — Cath
olic and Prltestant spokesmen
applauded President Johnson’s
school aid proposal in a placid
House hearing where the only
disagreement came over minor
technical questions.
The release from the charged
atmosphere of such hearings in
the past was noted all around.
A Catholic spokesman smiling
ly commented that it was a relief
not to fear getting out of the
hearing room alive. The major
Protestant spokesmen spoke of
the bill as an “instrument of re
conciliation.” Congressmen praised
the compromises they saw being
made by all sides, church groups
and educators.
The President has proposed a
$1.2 billion program of aid to
improve the elementary and sec
ondary schooling of children from
poverty-stricken families.
A total of $1 billion would go
to public school districts in low
income areas. The law would re
quire that these districts extend
to needy parochial and other pri
vate school pupils assistance in
the form of dual enrollment or
shared services programs.
Additionally, the proposal would
spend $100 million for textbooks
tor all school children and school
libraries and another $100 mil
lion to create a system of public
private community educational
centers to offer cultural enrich
ment and special courses to all
school children.
In the day-long hearing before
a subcommittee headed by Rep.
Carl D. Perkins of Kentucky, Msgr.
Frederick G. Hochwalt reiterated
the general endorsement of the
Department of Education of the
National Catholic Welfare Con
ference. He heads the depart
ment.
The monsignor proposed that to
carry out the intent of the legisla
tion for public-parochial school
cooperation, some form of con
sultation should be required be
tween authorities of the public
and private systems on the types
of programs to be offered and the
books to be provided.
“The door has been opened,” he
said, “for full-dress discussion of
good school programs, aid to low
income areas, needs of libraries
and textbook requirements and
imaginative requirements . . .
“Here is the opportunity for
educators generally in the United
States to tell the Congress and
the people what they want and
what they need. New evidence of
these needs can be placed before
Congress and private, nonprofit
schools are given an opportunity
to show that they are educating
large numbers of disadvantaged
children. They have a good case
for being helped. We are pleased
to do what we can to present this
case to this committee, to the
Congress and to the country,” he
said.

Semester Plan
To Be Revised
BELMONT—Sacred Heart Junior
College here will go on a new
semester plan beginning in August
of this year.
A complete semester will be
completed before the Christmas
holidays and the students will then
be less concerned about the exams
during the Christmas vacation.
The faculty will have ample time
to make preparations for the new
semester which will begin when
classes reconvene on Jan. 15.
Heretofore the student could re
turn to college early in January.
The semester ended the last of
January and the semester break
entailed the problems of travel,
etc.
tney complement eacn otner, an
Orthodox prelate stressed here.
Addressing an ecumenical meet
ing, attended by Leo Cardinal
Suenens of Malines-Brussels and
several Protestant and Orthodox
clergymen, Archimandrite Andre
Scrima declared that the ecumeni
cal movement is continuously
growing even though the differ
ences dividing the Churches are not
to be passed over lightly.
The prelate, who was personal
representative of Orthodox Patri
arch Athenagoras I of Constanti
nople at the ecumenical council,
pointed out that interchurch argu
ments and the evolution of each
church within a closed sphere are
now things of the past.
Several facts prove that a deep
ening of the concept of church
is going on now, Archimandrite
Scrima said. Recent signs of such
development are, according to the
Orthodox prelate, the ecumenical
council, the Pan-Orthodox Confer
ence of Rhodes, the World Council
of Churches and the meeting in
Jerusalem of Patriarch Athena
goras and Pope Paul VI.
