Canterbury and Pope
Seek Understdndinq

LONDON, Dec. 3 (AP).-The
Archbishop Of Canterbury, DR.
Geoffrey Fisher. came home to-
day from his historical call on
Pope John XXIII. The two
church leaders indicated they
would seek ever closer under
standing.
Statements from the Angli-
can Primate and the Pope en-
phasized their conference could
not Immediately solve the Gen.
turies-old doctrinal difference
between the Roman Catholic
and Anglican Churches.
In Rome, the 79-year-old
pontiff told cardinals prepar-
ing for a Christmas season
service. naturally the crusts
formed during four centuries
are many, but with time
there could come love and the
truth"
DR.. Fisher told newsmen al
London Airport:
IF anyone was disappointed
that our encounter did not &c
further toward union. ] was
not. Unity Of spirit is essential
before more concrete union and
I found unity Of spirit already
exists"

Union will take a long time,
just as a piece Of broken china
cannot be quickly mended," he
said.
DR.. Fishers call on the Pope
yesterday was the first official
contact between the heads of
the two churches since the Eng
lish Reformation more than 400
years ago.
The Pope said the 65-minute
meeting went only a. far as
the Threshold Of great prob
lems." but he praised the arch
bishops courageous initiative
toward achieving understand
ing and mutual contacts.
DR.. Fisher stopped of In
Rome after a To-day tour Of the
Middle East where he conferred
with Christian leaders in Jeru-
salem and Istanbul.
"One purpose Of my trip was
to clear the way for regular,
frequent and informal ex-
changes Of interests and under
standing among the different
branches Of the church." the
archbishop said.
"All this can now happen"
he added.

is not one to dodge struggle.
He climbs mountains for q

the Gospel not only as the
means Of saving souls but OF
solving social problems. He

He went a step farther than
the Russians, who called on
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold last night to report
Immediately on what the
United Nations is doing to help
Mr.. Lumumba, who is facing
trial on charges of melting re-
bellion in the Congolese army.
Mr.. Kiselev led up to his pro-
test by saying Mr.. Lumumba
had been arrested despite the
fact U. N. troops were in the
Congo at Mr.. Lumumba's re-
quest.
He said the U. N. command
there engages in reconciliation
with the illegal. dictatorial re-
gime Of Col. Mobutu." He called
Col. Mobutu a stooge Of the

Mr.. Gomulka refrained from
attacking either Titoist "reyi-

some Communists have applied
to rightist Chinese theoreti-

moderate majorities in labor
and other groups are repudiat-

ers: and Venezuela's eventual
recovery from a full year Of
economic depression.
The army played q major
role in restoring order this
week. There is no sign of q
crack in its solid support OF
the government.
Behind BetancOurt
Before the rioting there was
much criticism Of the govern
ment within business and In
dustrial circles. Now these
economic sectors of Venezuelan
life appear to be firmly behind
Mr.. Betancourt, too.
The government is seeking a
United States loan to help
cover its budget deficit, esti-
mated at $3.50 million. Despite
monthly income exceeding 500
million-mostly from oil and
iron-it has been spending
more than it makes.
Economists say, therefore,
the government must cut ex-
penses and balance the budget
besides showing its political
stability-before the confidence
so sorely needed to attract
domestic and foreign investors
can be restored.
The coming weeks should
test the political strength of
both the government and its
opposition.
Home Raids Continue
Arrayed against the govern
ment alignment of Mr.. Betan-
courts Democratic Action
Party and the Christian So
cialists are the Communists,
Movimento de Izquierda Rev.

Movement Of the Left, and
the Republican Democratic
Union. which abandoned the
coalition government last
month.
Raids on the homes and
offices Of Communist leaders
continue in a search for arms
and subversive literature.
Some advisors have urged
the government to outlaw the
Communist Party. But Mr..
Betancourt's associates say
that. as head of a democratic
regime. the president wants to
avoid this.
But II the Reds should keep
trying to topple the govern
ment, some think that step
may be taken anyway.

CARACAS, Venezuela. Dec. 8
President Romulo Betancourt
has survived the latest and most
violent attack on his demo-
cratic government. But he faces
a further war of nerves with
his, major enemy - the left
wing opposition.
The repeated target Of exiled
military plotters and leftist
rioters during his 81 months in
office, Mr.. Betancourt crushed
this weeks insurrection by a
show Of army force and by
arresting strike agitators.
Most observers saw the riot
ing as intended to sow panic
and create an atmosphere that
could lead to the imposition
here of a regime like Fidel
Castro's in Cuba.
They suspect Communists
tried to provoke a military coup
that would be an excuse for
keeping Caracas in further up
roar.
Firmly in Control
Mr.. Betancourt emerged more
firmly in control, most feel,
even though the strong and
bitter political opposition of
Communists and other leftists
remains.
Many feel this opposition
could fare again into hot
trouble in coming weeks.
Fanatical students, whose sur
render yesterday broke the
latest attempt to undermine the
government. already are talking
|of renewed demonstrations
next January 23-the anniver-
sary of the overthrow Of Mill
tary Dictator Marcos Perez
Jinenez.
Strike agitation has subsided
but is considered a possible
threat If economic troubles
continue in Venezuela. The
failure Of a banks strike with
the jailing Of union leaders is
considered a setback for Com
munist labor agitators.
The Communists and their
allies in newspaper guilds and
radio unions also failed to stir
up strikes.
General Strike Unlikely

dence has been reported among

which has been loyal to Mr..
Betancourt thus far.
Government leaders have
said no general strike is likely.
Labor experts caution, how
ever, that any big strike in
public utilities or other major
enterprises could produce tha
same effect as a general strike.
The government seems to be
basing its hope Of keeping con-

School Leuy Shares
Election Spotlight

Sharing the spotlight with
the presidential candidates for
residents of the East Cleveland
school district on Election day
will be the renewal of a ~ mill
school operating levy.
Voted by the electorate in
the district in 1866, the levy
expires December, 1861. 1t pro-
duces 40 per cent of the total
income of the schools and con-
sequently that proportion of
the school systems operations
is dependent on approval of the
measure.
The local school districts ex-
penditures have remained rel
atively low in an era of con-
stantly rising costs. Tax rates
for school purposes have in
creased approximately two mills
in the past ten years.
In asking for the support OF
voters on this issue, School
Superintendent Harold Nichols
says, Quality education is the
prime essential in the future
of America; its Importance is
more apparent every day. Main
tanning East Cleveland's schools
makes the passage of this levy
imperative"
According to DR.. Nichols, the
law provides that operating
funds such as the levy provides
must be spent for certified and
non-certified employees sal
aries; educational equipment,
books, films, teaching machines,
tests, office supplies; mainten-
ance equipment and supplies
and publishing the superintend-

Roomer Fee
Increase
Set For 81

Roomer license fees in East
Cleveland are expected to be in
Sreased next year from three TO
five dollars per person.
This became apparent when
the city commissioners, Tues
day night, gave Finance Direc~
tor G. T. Apthrop unofficial ap-
proval to prepare 1861 license
applications with the increased
rate.
Since all roomer licenses in
the city are temporary, they
must be renewed every year.
There are approximately 1000
people classified as roomers in
the city. This includes members
of families living in third-floor
suites in dwellings other than
apartments.
Apthorp told the commissions
ers that revenue from license
fees is around $4,000 year and
the cost of inspection and cleri-
cal work exceeds $4,000 per
annum.

ing, the commissioners, among

as an active member since 1929

club met for many years.

In the last two meetings,

identical 60 scores.
Last week, the Redmen ex-
tended their winning streak to
"a games by narrowly down
ing Euclid 20 to IA. They rank
eighth in the state ratings and
first in area competition.
According to Shaw Coach
Don Drebus, local fans should
not give up on the Cardinals.
"If we get a few breaks and
everyone stays healthy" he
says, "we have good chance
for an upset"
1t will be Shaw's homecom-
ing game and aside from the
exciting contest that will pre-
vail, this years football queen
also will be presented.
Huge Crowd Expected
A tremendous crowd is ex-
pected at the game and Parma
is bringing its own student
cheering section, block cards
and all,
What the Redmen are cheer
ing about most is the antics of
their star performer, left
handed passing whiz Arnie
Chonko. He won last weeks
game all by himself by picking
off a Euclid pass and dashing
so yards for Parma's winning
tally.
He is exceedingly tough on
pass defense and is considered
one of the outstanding players
in the state.
Available to carry the mail,
after receiving Chonko's special
delivery passes are Parma's
six-foot lonely end Kim Hill
and six-foot not-so- lonely end
John Hayn.

pressive in it's % to 6 win over

Although hampered by many
injuries to key personnel, the

downs in the second quarter to
crush an upset minded Cleve-
land Heights team. Shaw's rec
ord now stands at 4 wins, no
losses, and 1 tie.
Outstanding for Shaw wereI
backs Joe Ellington, Ken Klug, |
and Ted Riley. Ellington and
Riley accounted for 143 of the
1872 yards rushing for the
Cardinals, while Klug COM
pleted 5 out of II passes for
l07 yards. The game was an
outstanding example of team
play as every member Of the
team played at least three min
utes. The Shaw defensive unit
had one of its best nights as
they held the Tigers to only
15S yards total rushing and o.
yards through the air.
