Subcommittee on Juvenile Delin-
quency.
Asked by the Senator to express
his opinion on the matter, Bishop
Shell said that one of the things
that is essential and necessary"
is that all religious groups take
advantage of released time in
struction. Under the released
time" program schools permit a
certain period each week when
students are allowed to attend
religion classes. The permission of
the parents is necessary before the
students are allowed to leave the
schools to attend such classes)
Bishop Shiel said the religious
groups should not expect the child
to come to them but should 60 to
the child land in that way estab-
lish a personal contact" When
that personal contact is made, the
prelate said, "then it would be

definite moral values that are es-

Okays Public
School Aid Bill

WASHINGTON - NC1 -
The House Education and La
Dor Committee has approved
a bill which would set up
Federal-State four-year, SIG
billion program of construc'
ton aid for public schools.
The legislation provides that q
State would be eligible for an
outright grant with IFS share de-
termined by IFS total sehool-ase
population. The funds would be
given on q $3.50 matching basis.
In addition to the direct grants
maid to the State, the bill provides
for federal purchase of up to $3.50
million in school bonds from school
districts if the individual district
isn't able to acquire funds at
reasonable interest rate.
The bill, which restricts fhe
funds 10 fhe construction Of pub
lie schools alone, has gone 70 the
Rules Committee, and II cleared
there, will be debated on the
House floor.
An anti-segregation amendment
to the measure, cause of a fist
fight between two Congressmer

feated. The amendment would have
barred Federal funds to States OF
school districts which practice ra
cial segregation.

Drive for Christian
Social Order Aim
OF Groups at Rio

RIO DE JANEIRO-NC)-Prac
ticsl concerted action toward a
Christian social order on the part
of all branches of society was
urged in resolutions adopted here
by the conference of international
Catholic Organizations.
Four hundred Catholic leaders
from virtually all of the Americas
and from many European coun'
tries called for practical study and
action on the social question, with
wider preaching of the Church's
social doctrines in each country.
They said this basic program
should aim at:
/. Living conditions suited to the
dignity of human beings,
2. A social order favorable to
Christian living, and
3. Equal opportunity for each
person to fulfill his individual
mission.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1955-07-29

The demand was contained in an
eleven-point manifesto drawn up by
the Christian Democratic Federal
Union. The Union was the third
Christian Democratic group to
emerge within a week. Earlier
statements came from the newly
organized Christian Democ I'll c
Party and the Christian Democrat
ic Movement.
Another demand of the newest
Catholic group was for repeal of
the laws legalizing divorce a nd
prostitution which were passed by
the Peron-controlled Congress at
the height of the anti Church cam
paign.
The party also called for the
establishment of voluntary relig-
ious education in the public schools,
the abolition of political courses in
the schools, and full freedom of
the press, assembly and labor or
ganizing.
The new Catholic, groups were
organized solely by Catholic lay
men and have no formal seeIesi-
ssfiesl approval. The bishops
have made II clear they are keep
Ing aloof from all parties, even
those claiming Catholic label.
They have insisted that they are
above politics, and will defend
the chvreh's rights entirely with
I'm fhe ecclesiastical sphere.
Meanwhile, the Radical Party,
the chief opposition group, renew
ed previous demands for free ac-
cess to the radio and full authority
to hold public meetings. Interior
Minister Oscar Albrieu told them,
however, that "it would not be
auspiciouS to open this period of
pacification" by violating laws ban
ming public meetings. He said the
Radicals should defer their request
until "a more opportune time"
Another development was the
announcement that Vice President
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1955-07-29

Rear Admiral Alberto Teissaire
said to be a freemason, had re.
signed as head of the Peronist Par.
ty. The announcement came after
President Peron disclosed that he
was stepping down as head of the
peronist revolution to become "the
President of all Argentines,
friends and foes"
The sesthins unrest that has
characterized the political scene
in recent weeks was also reflect
ed in violent incidents In the
capital.
In the downtown area, a time
bomb was set off in front of q
peronist political school. Soon af
terwards, radio stations denounced
the "waves of rumors" which they
said were being circulated in the
city about the Peron government.
On the following day, a panic
was caused when a 22-year-old man
was fatally wounded by gunfire as
Radical Party supporters paraded
through the theater district. Hun
dreds fled in terror.
In the Church-state relations, the
only new development was the an.
nouncement read at Masses that
the Buenos Aires archdiocese itself
and not the government would re
build the Chancery office and the
adjacent residence of His Eminence
Santiago Luis Copello which were
burned and looted by anti-Catho
lie mobs during the revolt.

tsn Cathedral and ten other
churches which had suffered at
the hands OF The mobs.
The reason for this attitude, the
announcement said, was that the
Church officials were reluctant to
have the government repair the
buildings, due to .'the circumstanc.
es under which the sacred pre-,
cincts were destroyed" |"

Whereabouts
OF Cardinal
Still Unknown

VIENNA - (NC) - One
week after the Hungarian gov
ernment had announced the
conditional release of His En-
inence Josef Cardinal Mind
szenty, the prelate's where
abouts and condition remain
ed a deep mystery.
? There was no indication that the
Cardinal had been able to contact

Attempts by reporters to reach
the Cardinal have failed. A tsIe.
phone cell 10 fhe primsss's res.
idenes at Esxtersom met with q
reply that The Cardinal els NOT
here and we don't know where
he is"
Catholic officials here are still
skeptical about the Hungarian gov
ernment's report.
They recalled the words of Vat
lean broadcast last December COM
menting on reports that Cardinal
Mindszenty would be released at
that time.
eve will not believe any reports
about Cardinal Mindszenty'S re-
lease" the broadcast said, until
he can preach again in the Eszter-
gom basilica, until he can sign the
pastorals of the Hungarian hier-
archy, until he can again freely
visit the Holy See"
Budapest Catholics contacted
from here are unanimous in de-
eIsrins that fhs announcement
Of ths release OF Cardinal Minds
xenty was O rUse, conceived in
Moscow, for the purpose Of soft
enins fhe Western attitude at
ths Genevs conference. The
Cardinals status as q prisoner Is
believed TO be practically vn-
changed.
This view is corroborated by
newly increased aggressiveness of
Hungarian propaganda for home
consumption. Not for a long time
has the Hungarian press made such
vigorous attacks on the Church,
clergy and religious reactionaries"
as in the last few days.

The projected congress will be

scientific study of the doctrines
and devotions that pertain to the
Blessed Virgin Mary. The second

Father Balic said the theme OF
the congress, which is subject to
the approval of the host-Bishops,
may be the Queenship of Mary.
