Priest Lays Lack
OF Discipline to
Fathers Luxity

A prominent Roman Catho.
lie priest yesterday declared
the lack Of discipline anc
gratitude in American youth
stems largely from the failure
of fathers to assert their au-
thority.
Msgr. Irving A. De Blanc
head of the Family Life Bu-
reau, National Catholic Wei
fare Conference, said, THE
lack of discipline stems from
the fathers failure to assert
authority in many homes. The
father should be the principal
disciplinarian, and he should
not abdicate, only delegate, his
authority to his wife.
Many fathers have not
learned there is something
greater IN fatherhood than
giving life" Msgr. De Blanc
said. They must give them
selves to their children. share
their lives with them. From
this children should learn true
gratitude.
The priest spoke at a CON-
munion breakfast of the Notre
Dame University Club of WASH
ington in Pilgrimage Hall

introduced by Joseph Fitz-

Mr.. Gaillard is pushing a

The proposal. originally sug-
gested by the United States,

change in the status of Algeria,
which the French consider an
integral part Of France. This
has resulted in a cool reception

With heavily armed govern

rumblings that Rebel Leader
Fidel Castro might call a gen.
eral strike.
Some rebel informants said
Castro may wait until the end
of the month to call the strike
which he says is his "ulti-
mate weapon" to topple the
regime of President Fulgencio
Batista. There were no signs
this morning that a general
walkout was imminent.
The rebel informants said
there is considerable work yet
to be done in sabotaging bust
ness industrial and transport
enterprises to assure a firm
groundwork for a successful
strike"
Gen. Batista has offered
7,700 policemen and $4,000
troops to take whatever steps
necessary to break a strike and
crush any outbreaks on this
sixth anniversary of his last
military coup.
Gen. Batista Cancelled all
celebrations except for a radio
speech from a nearby military
garrison, where he is protected
by thousands of troops.
The Cuban President knows
the danger Of a general strike
