took place In the upstairs
bath where plumbers had
torn out the flooring and re-
moved four walls in a for
mer small bedroom. "My first
thought was all I would have
to do here would be to re-
decorate" she recalls. In
stead, she laid the flooring,
put up four new walls and
then papered the entire room.
In her living room, one
whole wall Is formed Of four
paneled doors, turned hori-
zontally and painted a soft
Colonial green. In the small
panels, she painted tole tray
effects in oils.
Finding pre- = pasted paper
not to her liking, Miss ISe
mixed her own paste from a
dry mixture and water. Nor
mally I made it on the thick
side so it would hold" she
adds.
Miss Use came to Washing
ton from Coffeyville, Kans.,
noted, she points out, as the
home town of Pitcher Walter
johnson and the Dalton
brothers. In the beginning
she was secretary to the late
Senator Clyde Reed of Kan
sas. Later, she worked for
the old War, Department, the
Merchants and Manufactur-
ers Association, and since
1857 has been executive sec
rotary and assistant manager
of the Allied Florist Associa-
ton.
Built Terrace
In fair weather, Miss Use
works outdoors in the back
yard. Since moving in she
has terraced the entire area
with bricks, carrying in 8
tons of sand in a wheelbar-
row from the back alley
where 1t was dumped on de-
livery. For laying the bricks
and allowing for drainage
she used "my eye and logic"
Between the garden and
alley, Miss Use improved on
q broken-down old shed. She
tore of the whole front fac
ing the house, put in 2-by-4
supports for the roof and
painted it gay yellow for an
open cabana look.
Besides being handy with
saw, hammer, paint brush
and what-have-you, Miss Ise
is equally at home with a
heavy hooking needle and
yarn. She hooked the IA in
dividual living room stair
treads in such subjects as
"The Liberty Bell" "Poca-
hontaS and John Smith,"
paul Revere" the American
eagle and other illustrations
abiding to high points in the
Nations history.
Family HeirlOOmS
Miss Ise's home is filled
with family heirlooms, most
from her mothers side of the
family-the Bodwells of Con-
necticut who pushed west to
Kansas in covered wagons.
80 the story goes" she
says of her family melodeon,
at was the first musical in
strument used in any church
in Kansas" 1t was in the
First Congregational Church
Of Topeka, she adds, land I
have no reason to doubt the
story"
One Of the first open-out
sofas ever built is another
family-inherited piece. 1t was
made by her mothers great
uncle with q solid frame Of
virgin Kansas walnut. Be-
cause the Bodwell men were
taller than average, the sofa
is much longer than the norm
for that vintage. Even the
hidden frame is inch-thick
walnut beneath the uphol-
stery. The pull-out apparatus
OF leather hinges has long
since worn out and the orig
inal horsehair stuffing has
been replaced with modern
filling and leather cover.

Catholics In Politics 80.

Should one ascrlbe undue
interference or trespassing
the limits Of the political
field to those American Cath
Ollie bishops who have begged
some of the state governments
to provide for an end of the
racial discrimination which
still sadly exists in customs
and in some laws?
"oR SHOULD ONE deplore
the action Of the French
Bishops who have raised their
voice against repressive cpl
sodes and against terrorism
wherever they have occurred?
Or must we argue with the
Bishops Of South Africa who
seek to fight against the mani
festations of the 'apartheid'
question? -.
In each of these instances,
the paper said, there is a poll
teal consideration. But it said
they are situations on which
the Church must speak out.

Press Comments on
Vatican Editorial

The Visitor said that 'the
Journal writer applied certain
parts Of the editorial to candi-
date John Kennedy in his
capacity as possible Presi-
dent"
The Visitor added that the
editorials connections with
birth control policy, parochial
school support, and American
presidency, or with Mr.. Ken
nedy was entirely the creation
of the Journals Editorial
writer's nervous imagination"
Two Catholic papers view
ed L'Osservatore Romano's
editorial in a different light.
The oklahoma Courier,
newspaper of the Oklahoma
City-Tulsa diocese, comment
ed: '"The stand taken by that
particular statement that the
Church has the duty to direct
the political activities of its
laity, is particularly unfortu-
nate in the light of the semi
official reputation of Los
Servatore.
"The statements inference
that the layman does not have
any autonomy in the political
order is a far step backward
from the urgent appeals of
recent popes for the layman
to wake up to his response
bilities in the areas Of his
competency = that is, the
world and its Institutions"
The Indiana Catholic news
paper of the indianapolis
archdiocese, said:
There was nothing wrong
with the Osservatore editor
ial from the standpoint of the
Italians for whom it was writ
ten. 1t was not necessary
to spell out for Italians that
the Church recognizes the
autonomy Of the State and
was not claiming authority
over politics as such nor the
right to dictate how citizens
should vote. But these things
are not clear to non-Catho-
lies. And our quarrel with the
Osservatore editorial is that
it did not sufficiently take
into account the effect of its
wording outside Italy"

nomy of political activity in

tholics only to the logical re-
quirement of coherent action,
which in every case means adj
herence to the teaching of the
Church and the refutation Of
any splitting Of conscience in
the believer and the citizen"
The same commentary MAY
29) stated that the original
editorial, entitled, "Firm
Positions" is based on UNI
changeable principles con
corning the nature and struc-
ture of the Church and its
complete moral jurisdiction
over the life Of the faithful at
any moment of private and
public activity, (and) of the
Catholic religion as the inspir-
ing and regulating power of
all individual and social acti-
witty of a citizen"
THREE DAYS EARLIER,
L'Osservatore had defended
its midway editorial by point
ing to the Church's duty to
state its position on moral
issues arising in political life.
L'Osservatore ques toned
the action Of critics in taking
issue with the Italian Bishops
for speaking out on public
moral issues. 1t argued that
the Catholic bishops in other
countries are not criticized
for taking a stand on such
questions. The paper said:

misleading .

US. Catholic papers have
commented on an editorial in
the Vatican City daily that
listed basic principles to guide
Catholics in the civic and
political spheres.
Some Catholic papers view
ed the editorial as not being
radically different and hit at
neutrality-suspicious. in this
country of the principles laid
down by L'osservatore Ro-
mano. Others saw misleading
implications in the editorial.
The Vatican City daily's
editorial said it is absurd to
make a distinction between a
mans conscience as a Catho-
lie and his conscience as a
citizen.
Among basic principles list
ed by the paper was the fol-
lowing: "A Catholic can never
depart from the teachings and
directives of the Church. In
every sector of his activity,
his conduct, both private and
public, must be motiyated by
the laws, orientation and in
Structions of the hierarchy"
In commenting on the edi-
torial, the Pittsburgh Catho-
lie, newspaper of the Pitts
burgh diocese, said that many
observers profess to see in
May 10 editorial some
new and startling develop
mcntS."
Actually" the newspaper
stated, ''there is nothing
radically different in what
was enunciated by L'Osserva-
tore Romano from what has
been standard practice and
common belief, particularly
SO far as the primary point of
its editorial is concerned.
This point is the absurdlty
of attempting to split the con-
science into one part which
is that of the believer and
one which is that of the citi-
zen"
The Witness, newspaper Of
the Dubuque archdiocese,
said: "The editorial in LOS
servatore Romano -. was
bound to be misinterpreted.
1t shouldn't have been. Actual
ly, there was nothing new in
what the editorial said d.
it was an affirmation of what
all twentieth century popes
have been preaching and
teaching"
The True Voice, newspaper
of the Omaha archdiocese,
commented: MANY in Amer
lea wanted to interpret (the
editorial) as an intrusion of
the Catholic hierarchy into
the political life of nations.
Even though this statement
in the L'Osservatore is not
an official statement, none
theless it bespeaks only what
has always been taken for
granted among Catholic peo-
pie, namely: when moral
! values are involved in the
political field, the Church
must state its mind concern.

ON THE QUESTION of a
Catholic bloc, he commented:
ut is a dreadful fable to per-
petrate on the American peo-
pie the suggestion that Catho-
lies vote only for Catholics,
and | think it encourages an
anxiety neurosis that is al
ready present in some portion
of the population"
However,, he continued, Il
do think that a Catholic bloc
can be made. BY this, / mean
that, if the religious issue is
made the predominant issue
in an election, and Catholics
find themselves attacked by
their neighbors, they respond
in a way you'd expect them to
by asserting themse Ives.
And the result is what APP
pears to be a Catholic bloc"
Catholics are not advised
or required BY the Church to
vote for Catholic candidates,
he declared.
"The Catholic is directed to
choose for public office the
man who has the highest abil-
ity, who is at the same time
a man Of personal integrity"
he said.
ITS according to these
rules that Catholics have vot-
ed in the past, and conscl-
entiously will vote in the flu
ture. Religion doesn't enter it
at all"
MSCR. LALLY emphasized
that if a Catholic were elect
ed President, sc
would not ask for any special
advantages, any more than at
the present time Presbyterl-
ans ask for special adVantag-
es, any more than Baptists

Bishop Shehan's reference
to the loan precedent in the
National Defense Education
Act refers to that section
which permits private and pa
rochial schools to secure long
term, low-interest loans to
purchase certain teaching
equipment or to finance the
minor remodeling of science
laboratories.
OPPOSITION to the propos-
ed construction loans was an
nounced before the House ac-
ton by the American Jewish
Congress, the National Asso-
citation of Evangelicals and
the ProteStants and Other
Americans United for Separa-
ton of Church and State, all
of whom alleged that lending
money to religious schools
was a threat to separation of
Church and State.
An insure fate awaits the
school aid bill, sponsored by
Rep. Frank Thompson, Jr., of
New Jersey, who fought to
keep it limited to public
schools.
1T NOW GOES to the Sem
ate, where the outlook imme-
diately after House passage
was unclear. The chief stumb
ling block appeared to be the
amendment Withholding funds
from school systems resisting
indignation. This was spon-
sored by Rep. Adam Clayton
Powell of New York.
Southern Senators undoubt-
eddy will be loath to accept
this provision.
The Senate's aid bill is
broader in scope, providing
$1.8 billion in two years not
only for construction, but in
support of teachers salaries.
The House bill provides
1925 million each year for
four years, with Federal
grants to be matched. In the
first two years, the matching
funds can come from local
funds. State money must en-
ter the third year.

Two former Governors of this

No unindorsed candidate had

NewCrisis

Unable to decide where United
States aid should 60, the little
but strategic Kingdom of Laos
last week was deprived of 80
per cent Of its budget when the
American military assistance
program was suspended.
Since the partition of French
Indo-China in 1855, the United
States has viewed the mountain
Gus, Strife-torn Kingdom Of Laos
as a major bastian OF the Vests
defenses against communism in
Southeast Asia.
Published figures have put the
amount of United States dollar
assistance to the kingdom at ap-
proximately $50 million a year,
but the actual amount is believed
to be considerably more than that.
For its size, probably no country
in the world and in the cold war
has received as much attention as
Laos from the United States.
Last week the situation in the
jungle mountains began to look as

cations and other fringe items.
The union asked about the same
wage increase but over two-year
period, a cost-of- living escalator
clause, supplementary unemploy-
ment benefit plan. A long list Of
employe benefits concerning SEN
iority, arbitration in employment
cases, ETC., also is involved.
The company announced at the
outset that it's offer was final,
that even if there were strike
there would be no additional ben
efits. The union took the position
that the company's refusal to
negotiate meant it was trying to
break the union. A strike vote
was called and the thousands of
workers went out. Some big locals
voted to accept the company's
offer. Some of the latter went out.
The company tried to keep
plants open with those who
wanted to work. Sheriffs deputies
had to keep the paths to the fac
tories open as mass pickets
crowded around. Some arrests
were made. Violence followed. At
Syracuse police had to turn fire
hoses on massed, shouting picketS.
Six persons were arrested. Nails
were scattered on the roadways
leading to the plant at Lynn, Mass.
A scuffle broke out in Burlington.

automobiles.
Federal mediators were meeting
with union and company repre-
sentatives. James B. Carey, leu
president, was ready with a So

But when Prince Souvanna de-
clared his intention of meeting
with leaders Of the Pathet Lao,
at the same time reassuring the
West with the statement that he
would never allow Laos to be
absorbed in the Communist camp,
the suspension of aid became
official.
After consultations between the
members of the Southwest Asia
Treaty Organization. which con-
siderS Laos key area in the cold
war, aid was officially suspended.
Until the military situation within
the Laotian Army is clarified, and
until the ultimate intentions of
the new neutralist government are
established. Laos is "off the list"
If the Communists move in quickly
to make up the difference, or if
the Thai government intervenes,
a serious crisis will exist in Laos.
