Uncertain Future
For Nehru's Party

BOMBAY, India - NC) - In
dia'S oldest Catholic paper has pre-
dicted an uncertain future for the
country's dominant Congress Party
if the scramble for power among
its leaders is not checked in time.
Declaring that the gulf between
the Congress and the people is
widening, The Examiner pointed
out that it is only the leadership
of Prime Minister Jawaharial Neh-
ru, who is also the President of the
Congress Party, that prevents a
complete and irrevocable break.
The writing on the wall is clear,
the paper added, and, unless the
warning is needed, the same fate
that overlook the Nationalist Party
in China is in store for the Con-
gress Party.
AS an instance of what it called
''the rot that has set in Congress
ranks" The Examiner mentioned
especially the situation in East
Puniab where Congress leaders are
indulging in mutual recrimination
and accusations.

fuI policy Of this Government will
be to expose, and in every appro-

series of acts by which the Polish
people are being denied the free
exercise of their inalienable
rights"
The Presidents views were ex-
pressed in a letter to Archbishop
Patrick A. 0'Boyle Of Washington.

man of the National Catholic Vel
fare Conference administrative
board, had issued a statement of
indignation on the arrest of His
Eminence Stefan Cardinal Wyszyn-

the President to record the pro-
test of his faithful in the Washing

Court Upholds
Ban Against
Obscene Book

WASHINGTON - (NC) - Dirt
for dirt's sake" in any part of a
book, makes the book obscene, a
court has ruled in upholding con-
fiScation of an imported book.
The Ninth Circuit Court of ap-
pealS, in decision considered inn
portant in legal circles here, held
that a book is rendered obscene
by "the relations of an incident
which is integrated with the theme
and story, and is 'word-painted' in
such lurid, smutty or pornographic
language that dirt appears as the
primary purpose rather than a re-
lation of fact or an adequate de-
Scription of the incident"
The court referred to, without
saying whether it agreed with, the
famed ulysses" decision which
held that a book is not obscene
if erotic matter does not furnish
the dominant mood of the book.
Defendants argued that the book
in question is a truthful descrip-
ton of base status of society"
and that in the present "age of
realism" obscene language depict
ing obscenity ceases to be obscene.
In IFS opinion the court stated
that "dirfy-word description of
the sweet and sublime, especially
of the mystery of sex and pro-
creation, is the ultimate of OBJ.
seeuitY
eve share the general antipathy
to censorship Yet we risk here
the assertion that there is an un-
derlying, perhaps universal, accord
that there is a phase of respect
able delicacy related to sex that
those compositions which purpose
ly flaunt such delicacy in language
generally regarded as indecent
come under the ban of the statute. +"

Some four hundred fifty dele
gates from 33 dioceses in the Unit
ed States were in attendance at the
second National Convention of the
Diocesan Section.
A challenge to tho aa::yho
would blame only young I. lie
themselves for so.calIed d.
delinquency was the keynote :
the series Of youth meetings.
Delegates representing six mil
lion Catholic youth and their lead
ers were forcefully reminded Of
these other causes:
The parental delinquency Of
bad example and broken homes.
"A widespread contempt for
youth" ranging from birth control
and housing restrictions to gross
indifference about youths prob
lens.
Exploitation of youth by pur-
veyors of indecency and narcotics.
"Forgetful society and short
sighted elders, even after youths
sacrifices and heroism in two
wars, are calling today's young peo-
pie "the most immoral youth in
history" Msgr. Joseph E. Schieder
said in the keynote address at the
second National Catholic Youth
Convention. But in fact ''you are
the greatest group of youth we
have ever known" he said.
Modern Pharisees
Monsignor Schieder, Youth De-
partment director of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, de-
nounced "modern-day Pharisees"
who ignore the fact that it is
grown-ups who offer youth every
convenience to make you i'm
moral"
"There are no teen-agers pub
fishing lurid books or producing
condemned films" he said.
The four-day convention of the
young people themselves brought
some 800 observers and delegates
ranging in age from Is to 26 from
all parts of the country, including
points as distant as Seattle and
Texas. II was followed by a two
day meeting of the National Cath
olic Camping Association, and an

barbarian invasions, the struggles
to keep the elections of the Rom
an Pontiffs free from the interfer-
ence of sovereigns and ruling fami-
lies, the Schism of the West, and
"the whole progressive apostasy
tending toward the complete de-
Christianization of human society" F"
Had one stopped at appearance
eS at such times" the Holy Father
said, ''he would have believed
them to be real dangers for the
existence of the Church, or at least
for the work of the Church among
men.
"In fact, however, with the
help of its Founder and lnvis-
ible Head, she has found in
them, and till the end of time
will find in them, occasions for
progress, an intensified precision
in her doctrine, a wonderful re-
awakening Of sancfify within,
and the extension of her apostle
late to other lands, thanks TO
her missions"
Pope Plus declared that along
side prevaricators, God raises up
saints and to heretics He opposes
holy and learned ecclesiastical
writer's" He said that "the violence
of autocratic emperors is contain
ed by the fearlessness of PontiffS,
while the great work of Catholic
restoration is offered in response
to the so-calied Protestant reform. .

of its greatest periods, and this is
not the first time we call attention
