Much of the apprehension stir
red by the announcement of a pro-
Jected history of mankind sponsor
ed by the UNESCO is based on
fear that the place of religion, and
particularly Christianity, may not
be adequately presented.
Inquiries made since the announ-
tement OF the project have brought
the following information:
i. The man in the key editorial
position for the whole undertaking
Is an agnostic.
2. Such figures as Prof. Julian S.
Huxley of England, of whom ii
has been said that he has been Eek
plicit in his denial of the existence
of God, or any human need for

whose writings, it has been charg-

Christianity" are prominent i'll the
project, and the central governing
commission of ten includes sayantS
who are described as "atheistic,"
"agnostic," 'Positivist," ''Z0rast-
rian" or 'leftiSt in social sympa-
thies."
Recent days have also brought to
light the fact that the proposal TO
write history, with scholars from
all parts of the world participating,
has long been under discussion. and
that some authorities warned from
the beginning that it could prove
rock upon which the whole

tional, Scientific and Cultural Or

authorities pointed to the part
which national, political and ideo-
logical interest could play in hamp-

Proposed History of Mankind
By UN Termed Unfortunate
Catholic Educator, Msgr. Frederick Hochwat Says
Project May Wreck UNESCO Organization

DIR. Ralph Z Turner of Yale Uni
versity, who has been named to the
key position in this undertaking,
denies that he is an atheist, as
some have charged. but volunteers
quite frankly that he is an agnostic.
A secular newspaper TO which he
made these statements quoted him
as admitting. at the same time. that
he is also "a critic of the Roman
Catholic Church" He is the chair
man of the editorial committee of
three that will edit and supervise
the writing of the history.
Meanwhile at Washington, DC,
Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt, for
merly a representative of the De
partment of Education. National
Catholic Welfare Conference, on
the us. National Commission for
UNESC0, has called it 'unfortun-
ate" that UNESCO has undertaken
this project; deplored the selection
of "the men who have been put in
charge" and said he considers the
decisions made in connection with
the history to be "almost disas-
trous" for the UN agency.
The Pawtucket (R.L) Times, re-
porting a telephone interview with
DR.. Turner. said he denies being an
atheist, but claims to be an agnos-
tic.
'Dr. Turner said he is on record
as critic of the Roman Catholic
Church." the paper added. HE said
he opposed the role of the Roman
Church in politics and will do so
again"
The Pawtucket paper also quoted
DR.. Turner as denying that he was
dismissed from the faculty of the
University of Pittsburgh because of
contemptuous and flippant attitude
toward religion and religious in
stitutions, as has been said. He
told the Times, the paper said,
that this lis the reason the univer-
sity gives" The real reason for his
dismissal. the paper further quoted
DR.. Turner as saying. was that he
"was too prominent in politics in
Pennsylvania"
MOnsign0r Hochwalt said:
Il regard it as most unfortun-
ate action that UNESCO has under
taken project TO write the History
of Mankind. This proposal has been
before UNESCO for some time and
has met with little favor on the
part of serious historians because
they see in il inherent difficulties
which could wreck the UNESCO
ideal and possibly the UNESCO or
ganization. Tides of nationalistic
feeling in support Of national he
roes and national history could cas-
ilv overwhelm the international
spirit that should characterize
UNESCO. Moreover, such study
should be undertaken by independ-
ent scholars who are not employed
by government or under govern
ment influence. Although these
scholars are not directly under gov
ernment influence in the UNESCO
committees, it is not too difficult
to envision such dominance arising
and affecting adversely the obiec-
tivity of the proposed study of
mankind.
"Since UNESC0 has embarked
upon the project it ought to be
careful of the choice of scholars
who are to steer the project to sue

cessful completion. Those who are
chosen to carry on the administra-
tive work ought to be above any
suspicion of lack of objectivity. Ap-
parently such is not the case in the
instance of the men who have been
put in charge. With others, | de-
plore this situation.
81 find the decision 10 engage in
the development of the History of
Mankind and the choice OF the
scholars to write such study al
most disastrous ones since these
choices provide an occasion for an
attack upon the UNESCO program.
Many people find it too easy TO
proceed from a dislike for one of
UNESCO's sponsored projects TO
dislike of all UNESCO and sus-
picion of all of its works"
The Pawtucket Times quoted DR.,
Turner as saying that much of the
criticism leveled against him by
the Catholic Hierarchy stems from
a book written by Yale man, Will
liam F. Buckley, Jr. The book,
God and Man at Yale" calls DR..
Turner "emphatically and Vigor-
ously atheistic"
"I refute this charge of Mr..
Buckley DR.. Turner said. He new
er attended one of my classes and
there is no other way he would
have of learning my views first.
hand. He would be right If he call
ed me a critic of the Roman Cathol-
ic Church when it interyenes in pol
itics and acts TO impose its political
rule on American politics. I'll
stand on that record"

the spiritual and moral sphere
through a report on a pilot study
OF 25 Catholic colleges, presented
by Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt
secretary general OF the National
Catholic Education Association.
Monsignor Hochwalt said all the
colleges surveyed reported they
encourage religious associations
and activities on the campus.
Seventy-six per cent maintain
religion department, while one
has a department of philosophy,
psychology and religion, and an
other has department of the
ology. Seyenty-six per cent offer
two hours week o. formal re-
ligious instruction throughout the
college course. Eight per cent re-
quire three hours, and four per
cent give four hours a week of
instruction.
In addition, all of the colleges
said they provide an annual re-
treat, or period of specialized
prayer Eighty-four per cent have
a resident chaplain on campus.
Concern with the religious train
ing of non-Catholics also was re
fIeeted in Monsignor Hochwalt's
survey. All of the Catholic institu-
tions reported that they permit
non-Catholic students to attend
their own non-Catholic services.
One college requires non-Catho-
lies TO take four semesters of re-
ligious education addressed spe-
officially to their needs.
Bishop Griffiths, in his address,
outlined a way to salvage from
the deep Of doubt and disillusion-
ment, the Interpretation of God
to Man" This could be accom-
plished, he said, If our national
leaderS-and particularly our edu-
cators-can point out TO our troa-
bled world and especially. to our
troubled youth, that the impend-
ing crisis may we'll become an OPP
portunity to re b d shattered
beachheads OF belief; that it may
develop into a spiritual renais-
sance in spite of the political ca
tastrophe.
I'VE shall then have given TO
the legions of youth in Korea
daily asking, Why do we fight?'
an understanding of the daily cru
cifixions through which they live"
he declared.
A pointed warning against the
dangers of relativism was voiced
by the Bishop.
Let this relatlviSm enter into
our courts of law and the law can
become what the judge has had
for breakfast with the corruption
and destruction of the judiciary"
he said.
Let this rejection of an abso-
lutte truth; of minimal absolute
morality find its way into the halls
of government-let the leaders
work on the basis OF constantly
changing Truth, and all the enor-
mites of all the totalitarian reg
imes-black, brown and red are
perfectly understandable,
"All the purges. all the kangaroo
trials, the slave labor camps, the
crematories, the liquidations-all
these are legitimate, if there is no
Divine norm OF true and false, of
right and wrong-but only the ar
bitrary will of the dictator or the
murderous roar of the melted
mob"

Colleges Urged To Reinstate
Spiritual Values In Classroom

WASHINGTON - (NC) - Two
prominent Catholic churchmen, adj
dressing the Association OF Amer.
lean Colleges annual meeting here,
have called for restoration of spIr-
itual and moral values to Ameri-
can life-and especially to the
classroom.
Bishop James H. Griffiths, Mil
itary Delegate and New York Aux
iliary, urged restoration of spirit
ual and moral values anchored In
God and not in some vague ethi-
cal appeal as part and parcel of
contemporary American life"
The Rev. John J. Cavanaugh,
G. S. c., president of the, Uniyer-
sity of Noue Dame, said Ameri-
can colleges must take clear,
definite, and intelligent stand as
to what morality is and upon what
precise spiritual values it is bas-
ed" This, he said, is necessary if
they are TO give spiritual and
moral direction" Father Cavan-
augh suggested the Ten Command

moral code"
