Peoples Campaign
Richmond, Va. — (NC) — The
Richmond diocese’s council of
priests has endorsed goals of Dr.
Martin Luther King’s poor peo

cy for all our people, namely
meaningful jobs for all, adequate
income for all, adequate medi
cal and dental care for all,
decent housing and quality ed
ucation.”
The campaign is expected to
draw 3,000 poor, including Ne
groes, Indians, poor whites, Mex
ican-Americans and Puerto Ri
cans, to Washington to urge Con
gress to pass hew legislation to
help the poor and to repeal re
strictive welfare legislation due
to take effect July 1.

For Relevant Liturgy
New Orleans — “It would be
scandalous if the irrelevancy of
the 1'iturgy proved to be an ad
ditional reason” for defections
from the Church, Archbishop
Paul J. Hallinan of Atlanta said
in a paper prepared for a con
ference here.
The paper was delivered at the
meeting of District IV of the
Conference of Major Superiors
of Men by Father Henry C.
Gracz, secretary of the Atlanta
archdiocesan liturgy commission.
Tradition should not hinder
liturgical reform in the United
States, Archbishop Hallinan said,
“for two discernible characteris
tics of American Catholicism are
its brevity and its immigrant or
igin.”
“We, members of a nation
whose identity has been forged
from the anvil of the unknown;
we, who politically have sought a
league of nations, a new deal, a
new frontier, and a great society,
cannot be afraid of experimen
tation within the realm of the
ecclesiastical.”
Discussing the “Normative
Mass,” Archbishop Hallinan
pointed out some possible
changes which might be incor
porated in the future:
—On occasions, where the
“Lord have mercy” is used, the
“Glory to God” will not be, and
the reciprocal is also true.
—A series of three readings to
give a better sense of the Old
Testament.
—Less frequent presentation
of the Creed.
—An acclamation by the peo
ple as their share in proclaiming
the event of the Lord’s death,
resurrection, and ascension.
—Changing the embolism af
ter the Lord’s Prayer to include
“For Yours is the Kingdom and
the Power and the Glory, for
ever and ever.”
New prefaces and a three-year
cycle of readings may be incor
porated into the liturgy by Ad
vent, 1968, the archbishop noted.

North Carolina, save one, that
the class of Marines at Camp Le
