Calling for concerted action by
all faiths against armed atheism"
Cardinal Stritch said:
"The.e are many things as eiti-
zens which we with our fellow cit
izens can do and shoulc do We
are ready to unite with them as
citizens in the doing of these
things. Their discussion of many
of the social problems which con-
front us in our day will prove help
full to us. We are not an isolated
group IN our democracy.
"We realize that in this day all
men of good will, and particularly
ali men who kneel and pray to the
living God, should unite against
common dangers: the danger of
atheism, which with specious rhet-
oric, at least in effect, would ban
ish God from all social thinking" "

Absentee Votes
Of Clustered
Ruled Invalid

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.-NC)-Lo-
cal attorneys observed that a
unique legal precedent affecting
CaIifornia's clustered religious or
ders may have been set here. They
referred to the invalidation of alb
sentee ballots cast in the June 8
primary by Is Poor Clare nuns of
st. Joseph's Convent ir nearby
Capoiita,
Incumbent County Assessor Ron
aid Mellon, running behind in his
race for reelection when the bal
lots were opened, issued the chal-
lenge. 1t was upheld by Deputy
District Attorney Ray Scott.
Mr.. Mellon contended that the
nuns did not meet the two condi-
tions under which absentee bal
lots may be voted u Absence from
the precinct on the day of cleo
ton, or q physical incapacity TO
reach the polls.
After two hours of checking
through law books, Mr.. Scott de-
clared: There's nothing in the
law providing absentee voting priv
ileges to persons incapable of going
to the polls for religious reasons. "
He agreed with Mr.. Mellon that
confinement to a convent did not
constitute physical incapacity.
Informed of the challenge, the
Mother Superior of the convent
said there would be no protest.
The Poor Clare nuns at Capitola
have been voting for years in Santa
Cruz County via absentee ballot.
Mr.. MELONS challenge was the
first ever made of this practice.

II urged that on August Is, the
Feast of the Assumption, Catholics
everywhere join in prayer for the
triumph of the Church and the
return of the separated brethren
to the Catholic fold. On that day,
it further suggested. priests should
devote their sermons to this parti-

Another recommendation was
that the period from the Feast of
the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin
Mary on September 8 TO the Feast
of the Holy Name of Mary on
September II be marked by cere-
monies of reparation for sins of
biasphemy, and by efforts to fos-
ter the devout use of names of God,

Suggested as a basic theme for
