Bill Backed Bv
NCWC Official

WASHINGTON-tNC)-A House
bill which would increase college
training benefits under the "GI
Bill of Rights" for Korean War
veterans has received the backing
of the erican Hierarchys
spokesman on educational matters.
Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt, di-
rector of the Department of Educa-
ton National Catholic Welfare
Conference, told House Veterans
Affairs subcommittee that a meas
ure now under consideration would
make it possible for more veterans
to avail themselves Of their educa-
tional opportunity" and make the
basic law a "fairer" one.
The bill would increase the vet
eran's educational benefits by $50
month, with the extra money
paid directly by the Government to
the college or college-level institu-
ton itself.
In letter TO Rep. William /.
Springer of Illinois, subeommit-
tee chairman and authors OF fhe
bill, Monsignor HoehwaIt noted
that rising edUeational and sub.
sistence costs have made il in.
ereasinglY difficult for Korean
veterans to continue their school
ing. BY increasing the grant for
tuition and fees, he said, the vet
ersn's freedom of choice" in the
selection Of a college would be
enlarged.
urban institutions seem to have
a disproportionate share of com.
muting Korean veterans" he con-
tinued. by increasing financial
benefits, the veteran will be better
able to consider residential colleges
and thus be less restricted to in
stitutions near his home. For a
similar reason, the bill also should
relieve some of the drain upon
scholarship funds of private col
ieges."

Catholics Ask
Repeal OF Nazi
Marriage Law

VIENNA NC Austria's Ca
tholic Action has asked the govern
ment for immediate measures TO
prevent repetition of recent court
action by which priest was fined
because he had. married a couple
without preceding civil ceremony
The law under which the priest
was punished was introduced by
tie Nazis after the occupation of
Austria in 1888. This law, Catholic
Action said in its letter of protest,
''runs counter, to rare degree, TO
the Austrian peoples sense of JUS
tice and contradicts the constitu-
tionally guaranteed right to the
free practice of religion"
The letter Of the Catholic
Action chairman states the view
that under existing legislation
fhe Austrian government has the
right TO snnul laws reflecting a
"fYpieaily nstionsl-sociaIist ideo-
losY."
The case in question is that oi
Father Giselbert Freitag, parish
priest at Oeblarn. He was fined
the equivalent of eight dollars be.
cause he officiated at the marriage
of stateless Slovene refugee who
was unable to obtain the necessary
documents for a civil marriage.
CThe abolition of the law requir.
ing a civil marriage ceremony be-
fore a church wedding has long
been asked by the hierarchy in
Germany as well as in Austria.
The law dates back to the time
of the "Kulturkampf" in Germany
In both countries, socialists and
liberals are leaders of the opposi
tion to such a change.)
