Soviet Russia's success in
launching the first earth sat-
elite is seen. by a leading
Catholic scientist as indica-
tive of the tagging produc-
ton of scientists in the US.
Father Patrick H. Yancey,
81, executive secretary-treas-
urer of the Albertus Magnus
Guild, a society Of Catholic
scientists in the nation, said
the earth satellite is "a pay,
off of the Soviet acceleration
of science"
I'VE are glad when anyone
does something important In the
scientific field" said Father
Ysneey. "And we're clad that
II has been shown possible to
launch a satellite"
The Jesuit scholar. a biolo-
gist, who teaches at Spring
Hill College, Mobile, Ala, said
that the rapid advance of Sow
let science shows that the us.
must put a greater emphasis
on scientific knowledge.
The priest commented that
the Soviet success can be seen
as a powerful propaganda tool
to prove the advantages of
communism's socialist and ma
terialjstic society.
Father Francis j. Heyden,
ST., professor of astronomy at
Georgetown University here,
also commented on the pauc-
ity of American scholars in the
sciences. He pointed out that
there are but three Jesuit
scholars in the field of astron-
omy in the US. - himself.
Father Walter j. Miller Of
Fordham University, and Fa-
ther M.F. Mccarthy, soon to be
at the Vatican Observatory.
Father Heyden said that the
Georgetown Observatory Is nor
equipped TO track or photograph
the Soviet satellite and he
doubted that there is any equip
msnt in the country which
could be used for this purpose
at the present tiue.
The astronomer explained
that a celestial telescope is
constructed with mechanism
which keeps the instrument
focused on a particular point
in the heavens while the earth
rotates at Is degrees per hour.
The earth satellite, however,
is moving at a speed of $4,000
miles per hour and traverses
225 degrees per hour. This is
about five times faster than
the standard tracking mechan-
ism on a telescope, he said.
Also. the satellites orbit is
continually. changing.
Father Heyden said he is
happy that an earth satellite
has been put up" He said it
would be of help to all scien-
fists in the world.

groes in the suburban part Of
the parish and yet the people
wanted to do something about
Indignation. My own explana-
ton is that the labor movement
has done such an excellent job
that people generally have &C.
copied unions.
No Longer an Issue =
To put it negatively and min
imumly they are no longer con-
sidered a threat to the national
economy. This is quite amazing
in light of the fact that the pa.
pers have been filled with the
fabulous accounts of Beck and
the Hoffa-Dio intrigue. II seems
that people have learned to dis
tinguish the good guys from the
bad guys and no longer are they
emotionally disturbed by the
gangster elements in a few I'M
ions. They do not want to throw
the baby out with the bath.
Unionism no longer seems to
be a crusading issue by those
inside or outside the union
movement l find it happening
to myself. The McClelland COM
mittee' failed to hold my inter-
est. The teamster scandals did
not come as a surprise and we
knew the Mcclellan committee
was not out to destroy the la
Dor movement.
On the Sunday before Labor
Day, I explained in my sermon
that the enemies of labor are
within its own household. They
are the Becks and the union
members who by their apathy
spawn the Becks. Ten years ago,
l would not have given this
sermon.
Ten years ago I was defend
ing the unions right to life
against those outside the camp
and | was not going to give am
munition to the enemy by wash
ing labor's dirty laundry before
the public. Maybe the labor
movement should pray for ene-
mics. that is pray that they
never cease to have enemies.

novneed that he would place

situation, some Catholic sup

From the intricate reasoning
above there is no doubt, Neva,
that you are his equal, If you
are allowed to choose your own
weapons. Incidentally, let's
thank the good Lord that you
are not a lady wrestler. It does
not take much understanding to
see that that husband of yours
could stand a course in femin.
Inc psychology.
In fact, that is the key to the
whole problem: possibly neither
of you ever grasped the psyche
logical differences between men
and women. II you did, then you
would realize that you are not
fully his equal till you are fully
a lady. Being a female man will
not help you because you are
