tor Kennedy, and the Senator
authorized the published ver-
sion of the dialogue.
Il am convinced that labor
has contributed more to the
economic health, the well-being
and the strength of this coun-
try than any other organized
group, in any other country, in
any other period of human his
tory" Senator Kennedy said,
adding:
This does not mean, as Re-
publican distortions have sug-
gested recently that the labor
movement and I will see eye to
eye on every single detail on
every issue. This has not been
true in the past and un-
doubtedly will not be true in
the years to come. But such
differences will not obscure our
basic agreement"
The AFL&CIO has indorSed
Senator Kennedy'S candidacy.
and Mr.. Meany in a note with
the interview urged all his
members to study the issues
and vote for the Kennedy
johnson ticket.
Responding to Mr.. Meany's
questions on a broad range of
issues, Senator Kennedy for the
most part reiterated views he
has been expressing during the
campaign. In highlightS of the
interview, Senator Kennedy:
Maintained that the Nation
can meet its domestic and in
ternational obligations by &C
celebrating economic growth.

lot of Federal money.

each child. There is also aid
for dependent children. There
are many types of maternal
and child health services, free
lunches, and so on.
THIS APPROACH, HOW
EVER, in general often bene-
fits only the lowest income
groups. But the middle class
groups also often need help
with large families. There is a
danger too that huge bureau
racies administer this help at
vastly greater expense than
if the money were given di-
rectly to the parents-as is
done in Canada.
We hope this matter will
come before the general pub
lie someday for discussion and
decision. We suggest for your
reading a recent book entitled
Family Allowances by James
c. Vadakin university of Mi
ami Press, Coral Gables as,
Florida, S4.95, PIP. 1850. Incl
dentally, the author suggests

Eventually the pair run Off
to seek happiness somehow
in the woodland incredibly,
they do it with the maudlin
blessing of the dying old Irish
pastor, who says that be-
cause they are good people"
all will come out well in the
end.
None of the characters has
the least bit of reality, and
the scenes in the rectory COM
mon room and at the dining
table are compounded of
what the less charitable short
story writer's of the last two
decades have said such things
are like.
THERE is so much silly
Numbering about the nature
of true religion and true
love, that the old pastors
staggering piece Of final adj
vice is less shocking than it
might otherwise be-but
equally unbelievable.
This is not an unknown
dilemma of the modern world,
but there is more truth in
Alice Meynell's famous sonnet
announcement, than in a
dozen books of this kind.

BOOKS OF THE HOUR
christening Party
Has Its Moments
by Fr. Bernard Theall, O.S.B.

In the background, often
mentioned, though they play
no real part in the tale, are
several aunts who are nuns
one of them mildly deranged.
Much Of the family gossip
centers about one of its more
spectacular members who has
married "a Californian land a
Germany; and the books
rather startling close gives
the family a look at this
prodigy.
Mr.. Steegmuller has appar-
emily tried to write a lightly
satiric portrait of immigrant
Catholic relationships at the
turn of the century. Some
times he seems almost to
bring it off-but there is a
curious lack of inner knoWl-
edge of what Catholic life is
really like, coupled with the
inevitable howlers that infest
secular novels about the
clergy.
FOR the Bishop
gives a truncated form of
blessing, the relations between
bishops and clergy are con-
fusedly described, and, in
short, the Religious characters
and the Religious atmosphere
the author attempts to de-
scribe are never convincing.
This is not, however, an OBJ
jectionable book, and it has
its flashes of insight into
what makes up the triple
melting pot" as one author
has called the United States.
NOT A SINGLE charitable
thing can be said about one
of the first novels by a new
publishing firm, William
Michelfelder's Be Mo- Angry
(Atheneum, 81. This is the
scrubby tale of a young
priests love for a militant
Catholic actionist of the
parish's feminine contingent.

Francis S e egmuller's
The Christening Party
Farrar, Straus and Cud-
ahy, $685. is a novel
which may have some in
terest for Catholic readers be-
cause it deals with an Irish
Catholic family of the early
10th century the year specifi-
cally is 1906, and because
some of the characters are
clerical or religious.
It is, on the other hand,
by no means a religious novel,
and it may be true to say that
the author fails to capture
the spirit of Irish Catholicism
at the time of his story or at
any other time.
1T is A FiRST-PERSoN
novel, the narrator being a
small boy Of seven or eight,
who tells the events of his
baby sisters baptismal day,
and in the course of the tell
ing, relates a great deal of
complicated family history
not unmixed with slightly
scandalous elements. At the
same time, he has satisfied,
before the day is over, a small
boys biological curiosity, in
an episode which may strike
readers as very labored and
not very much worth the
labor.
The family of Connecticut
Dugans have gathered in the
town of Waverly for the bap-
tism of one of the youngest,
and this is to be performed
by the most distinguished
member of the family, a
Bishop, and ordinary of one
of the nearby sees.
BUT AN ALMOST equally
distinguished family member
is the local probate court
judge, rather bitter against
life in general, and particular
ly against the probate laws
of the state, which are re-
sponsible for his small in
come. But he is equally I'M
happy about the German
members who have married
into the Irish Dugan clan.
Even references to one or an
other of them send him into
apoplectic RACES, which the
Bishop must do his best to
mollify.

BALTIMORE EDITION 18th BIRTHDAY
Who Wrote Catechism?
JERSEY CITY MI

JERSEY CITY, NJ.
Who wrote the first Balti-
more Catechism, whose
18th anniversary is being
marked this year?
The fact is that there is
no official record of the
author of the first question
and-anSwer explanation of
basic doctrine which was
ordered by the Third Plenary
Council of US. Bishops in
Baltimore.
But most authorities believe
the original work was written
by an Italian-born scholar in
a damp room in the basement
of old st. Michael's church
here.
He was Msgr. Januarius De-
Concillo, a native Of Naples
and first pastor of St.
ael's. Although the
Monslgnor himself never pub
licly claimed authorship, the
original catechism is attributed
to him by Father Thomas
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1960-09-23

Chapman, C.SSR.. among
others. Father Chapman has
taken in the series of re-
visions of the original cate
chism.
Msgr. DeConcilio's role
stemmed from an order of the
us. Bishops in 1884 for a
uniform text of basic doctrine
to replace a rash of different
and unsuitable cateckisms.
Bishop John L.. Spalding of
Peoria, Ill.,, was asked to sub
nit a draft for a catechism.
1t is believed that he went
to New York and got in touch
with Msgr. DeConcilio, who
had a wide reputation as a
scholar.
Msgr. DeConciIio was known

should be the powerful ally
of the church and the home.
Second: schooling emptied
of theological insight and in
spiration is a deadly danger,
in the long run, to the home,
the church and the nation.
Third: such schooling is a
menace to education itself.
Inevitably, education loses d.
rection, c o ness and
force in the absence of vision
about the purpose of life.
WITHOUT THE spiritual
values that religion fosters,
education loses the soul that
is its deepest vitality. The
result is a gradual crumbling
Of the foundations of civiliza-
ton in morality and civic
virtue.
In our time in particular,
nothing other than religious
truth and motivation can
permanently direct mans awe
some new powers into the
ways of peace, and away from
nuclear self-extermination.
Communism drives his
home to us with great force,
by reverse logic.
Precisely because it is ire
ligious, communism keeps the
world in turmoil with its
threats, plots, falsehoods and
hideous degradation of hui
man dignity.
WHO DOES NOT want to
see communism replaced by
religion?
Who would deny that a re-
turn of communists to God,
and to the spiritual concept
of existence, would be like
the removal of a knife from
the heart of mankind, and
the healing of a terrible
wound2
There is really no wisdom
there has never been any
wisdom-in neutrality in the
endless struggle between re-
ligion and irreligion in the
affairs of humankind.
Communist e d C a ton in
at h materialism and
brute imperialism should be
vigorously countered by free
world education in the things
of the spirit, and in the in
alienable nobility of human

beings as creatures of God.
FURTHER, the free world
ought to educate against the
errors that menace it from
within-secularism which acts
as if God didn't matter;
paganism which blinds one
to everything but the flesh
and the appetites; indiffer-
ence which won't bother
about the splendid truths that
set US free.
Public schools should be
making their great contribu-
ton to the religiods-and
right-view of mankind and
mankind's future.
But how, it is asked, can
they do so, seeing that they
are supported by the taxes
and educate the ehildren-of
widely differing citizens
some religious, some unre-
ligious and a few anti-re-
ligiouS?
That this is a knotty prob
lem. no one denies. But that
it is impossible of solution
is not true.
IT WILL REMAIN unsoIved
only if people who care unset
fishly about the future of the
world allow themselves to be
bemused by the propaganda
that nothing can be attempted
because separation of church
and state" forbids it.
True separation - the
separation intended, for in
stance, by Americas Found
ing Fathers - does not for
bid it at all. Only a false and
distorted notion of separation
ties our hands.
People who see the gravity
of the need must correct that
distorted notion. They must
begin to act, with wisdom,
prudence, dedication, and
reverence for the rights of
every one.
THE RIGHTS of religious
citizens must not be thrown
on the scrap heap merely be-
cause unreligious or anti-re-
ligious people are vocal about
THEIR rights.
In simple justice, public
schools have a duty to serve
the religious parent, as well
as the irreligious. Further,
religious schools are entitled
to respect, encouragement and
help in the great service they
give to the free world.
1t is a serious mistake to
allow the slogan, separation
of church and state" to be
misused in such a fashion as
to let irreligious parents bend
the public schools to their
will, while court decision
after court decision spurns
the rights of the vast majority
of citizens who are religious.

less, competition in prices is
distinctly unpopular and with
some reason. 1t can be a very
painful process. 1t is also a
very healthful process-in the
long run.
When price competition is
forced by some outside group
the result has normally been
the long run improvement of
the industry. The 12.7 per cent
of the market which foreign
cars took last year, led to the
American compact counter
offensive which has routed
most of the foreign intruders
-altho' the impudent WIS
continue to multiply.
The Switch to compacts has
been expensive for the auto
industry but benefits are be-
coming more and more appar-
ent. The Falcons, Corvairs,
Valiants, Comets, jess, and
Specials may well mark the
beginning of a new era in
American alternative produc-
duction.
PRICE COMPETITION can
not be the sole ordering
agent of an economy. In fact
many of the industries where
the purest competition exists
are the scenes of anarchy and
chaos. In some of them-the
New York docks, trucking,
coal mining, ladies' gar
ments-large unions have had
to introduce stability to guar
antee some kind of employ
ment continuity for their
members, often with dubious
results for the common good.
Catholic social teaching
makes it quite clear
that competition will achieve
its desired effects only in a
framework of cooperation &C
cording to the norms of So
cial justice and charity. 1t is
by no means clear how this
can be done in the concrete
order.
BUT IN A NATION where
competition is so lavishly
praised, there must be con-
slant attempts to see that
price competition does not,
on the one hand turn into
chaos, or on the other hand,
vanish from everything but
after-dinner speeches and par
ty platforms.

People have threatened to
call for legislative action to re-

cease referring students to off

rejection by university officials

try for students residing off-cam-
pus to places which agree to ac-
cept applicants regardless of race
or religion. The proposal was
made at a conference here be-
tween an NAACP delegation and
university officials.
The NAACP leaders urged the
University officials to issue a
policy statement regarding race
and religion in University ap-
proved off-campus housing. The
deans took the position that the
University would not issue such
racial policy statement but
would continue to seek voluntary
agreement to provide non-dis-
criminatory off-campus housing.
