QUINHON, Vietnam — Refugee camp life is hardly pleasant, as millions of people around the world have found by personal experience. Even by standards of rural Vietnam, these make shift huts at a refugee camp here housing thousands who have fled the Viet Cong, are appalling. But according to the refu gees who live in them, they are better than submitting to Viet Cong extortion.

Warns of Government's Role In Field of Family Planning WASHINGTON — (NC) — Under a bill now pending in Con gress, the size of American fam ilies would become the business of government for the first time in history, a Catholic family life spokesman warned here. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Er nest Gruening of Alaska, is “nei ther good, necessary, prudent nor safe legislation,” declared John T. Kenna, special assistant in the Family Life Bureau of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. “It is the genie that should be kept in the bottle, the Pandora’s box that should be kept tightly closed,” Kenna said of the Gruen ing bill. Kenna spoke to the Washington Catholic Roundtable, a local dis cussion group, on the subject of birth control and public policy. Appearing on the same program and defending the right of gov ernment to conduct family plan ning programs was Father Dexter L. Hanley, S.J., of the George town University law school. FATHER HANLEY expanded on arguments he has made before — notably in testimony last Aug ust before the Senate subcommit tee headed by Sen. Ernest Gruen ing of Alaska — to the effect that government has a legitimate role in the family planning field, pro vided it does not prefer one meth od over another and exerts no coercion. Kenna strongly assailed the Gruening bill (S. 1676). The pro posal calls for special population offices, headed by assistant secre taries, in the Departments of State and Health, Education and Wel fare. It also provides for a White House Conference on Population in 1967. Kenna said the measure would give “broad discretionary powers in this area of legalized social en gineering” to officials in HEW and State. THEY WOULD be “enabled to support, cooperate with and assist all manner of public and private birth control programs, eventually including even those featuring abortion and sterilization,” he said. “Thus the size of American families and the shape of entire populations would become, for the first time in history, the regular, statutory business of American government officials,” Kenna said. “In effect,” he declared, “the Gruening bill . . . would adopt in tact, as public law, the equivalent of the current Planned Parent i 11 "■ I BRIARWOOD MOTEL Open Yeor Round Rooms & Kitchens Telephone & TV in Each Room Free Coffee in Rooms Hendersonville, North Carolina 1 Mile S. on Route 25 hood-World Population program. For its proponents it is obviously a ‘dream bill.’ ” KENNA CALLED the proposal “unnecessary” as far as the U.S. domestic population is concerned. “With a low population density, a fantastically high standard of living and a healthy, productive economy, our problem is not too many people, now or in the for seeable future, but the proper and equitable disposition of our hu man resources and our lavish ca parities,” he said. Internationally, he continued, there is “no worldwide people glut, nor is there conclusive evi dence that there will be.” He warned that for rich Western na tions to promote birth control in foreign countries would be “re sented as an outrageous affront to national dignity” by Asians, Af ricans and Latin Americans. KENNA CHARGED that gov ernment birth control programs would inevitably involve coercion. Oklahoma Protests Made By Ultraconservatives OKLAHOMA CITY — (NC) — Ultraconservative Catholics here are conducting a sharp and some times noisy counterattack against developments in the Church which they consider in conflict with Or thodox Catholicism. The Oklahoma Courier, dioce san newspaper, described the protesters as “a small, but oh so noisy group” who “bear watch ing.” In an issue carrying a num ber of news and feature stories on “diocesan ultraconservatives,” the Courier detailed such inci dents as these: —A priest’s adult education class on the French paleontolo gist and religious writer Father Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J., was disrupted by persons claim ing the Vatican had forbidden study of his writings. —An anonymously edited “Yel low Sheet” published off and on during the past two years has di rected bitter personal attacks against a number of diocesan priests. —A woman picketed the dioc esan chancery office protesting participation by three priests in a demonstration against U.S. pol icy in Vietnam. —A group calling itself the “So ciety for the Preservation of the Faith” protested a Holy Week poster which showed Christ as a wanted criminal, calling it “blas phemous.” IN RESPNSE to such develop ments, diocesan priests attending meetings here and in Tulsa unan imously adopted a resolution de claring their loyalty to Bishop Vic tor J. Reed of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The resolution deplored what it called “the anonymous and scur rilous attacks of the editors of the ‘Yellow Sheet’ upon the Bishop of this diocese.” The priests were attending meetings called by the diocesan Little Council clergy commission to discuss several other matters. Nearly 100 priests attended the Tulsa meeting, and more than 80 were at the meeting here. The Courier said the recent ac tions by ultraconservatives were “partially an outgrowth” of a meeting of women in the Okla homa City area held two weeks earlier. THE NEWSPAPER said a re port on this meeting suggested that dissatisfied parishioners stop attending Mass and making contri butions to their home parishes and go instead to Our Lady of Per petual Help cathedral here. Msgr. John M. Connor, cathed ral rector, said he was “floored by the idea” and added: “These peo ple certainly are required to at tend their own parish church.” The Courier said the meeting also recommended formation of “truth squads” to keep an eye on “offenders” in the diocese. It said one such “squad,” composed of two women, visited the rectory of St. John the Baptist church in Ed mond, Okla., and questioned the housekeeper about the use of a backdrop rather than a crucifix in the church. St. John the Baptist, whose pas tor is Father William Nerin, was also the focal point of another protest — that concerning the poster showing Christ as a wanted criminal. Father Nerin said the poster was one of several designed by parishioners in an effort to put the meaning of the Stations of the Cross in modern terms.
