Speaking at press conference,
Minister of Interior Busso stated
that the government is discussing
the possibility of a conc o r d at

The press conference took place
shortly after the publication of an

gave provincial and federal au-
thorities power to grant licenses
for houses of prostitution, in de-
fiance of vigorous protests from
Catholic leaders.

The divorce law was one of the

Vermont Budget
Excludes Aid To
Catholic Students

MONTPELIER, Vt.-(NC)-The
State Department of Education
has cut nearly $4,000 from state
aid grants to 96 Vermont COM
munities which pay tuition costs
at private and parochial schools
The action, which affects ap-
proximately 500 students in all
of Vermont's counties, was taken
after State Attorney General Rob-
ert T. Stafford ruled that local
districts cannot receive state
funds for tuition to other than
public schools.
A majority of the students
whose tuition has been paid to
non-public schools both in and
out of Vermont attend Catholic
schools. In some cases, however,
local districts have been paying
tuition at Protestantraffiliated
schools and at private academies
without any religious connection.

overthrow Peron regime.
An overflow crowd packed the
spacious Plaza de Mayo for an
evening Mass at an altar erected
close to the ruins of the arch

Just a year before. more than
100000 worshippers packed the
same square for a rally to mark
the end of the Marian Year. The
Peron government had forbidden
the Mass to be celebrated in the
plaza itself.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. INC

has adopted a Sunday clos

a model for other Illinois
cities in the future and per-

ance of its kind in Illinois.
The State Supreme Court at
Springfield upheld the ordinance,
when IL automobile dealers who
wanted to operate used car lots
on Sunday had sought to have the
law declared invalid. The SUI
preme Courts opinion held that:
Sunday has been observed

been achieved primarily by vol.

ures adopted are reasonable"
The Evanston ordinance re-
quires all businesses to close on
Sunday except those selling goods
or services that fall within the
classification of emergency needs
for instance, medicines or rec
reationaI commodities.
