The new foreign aid
bill signed into law by
President Kennedy marks
an historic development
in the collaboration of
voluntary agencies and the
US. government.
Yet, during the months Of
discussion over this continu-
alton of American RESPONSE
bility as leader of the Free
World, this important fea-
ture of the legislation seems
TO have escaped notice.
THE LAW SPECIFIES that
the international Coopera-
ton Administration and its
foreign aid missions shall use
the services and facilities of
voluntary agencies in carry
ing the American foreign aid
program.
This is truly an historical
development.
The actual wording of the
current law is: lit is the
sense of Congress that the
President, in furthering the
purposes of this Act, shall
use to the maximum extent
practicable the services and
facilities of voluntary, non.
profit organizations register
ed with, and approved by, the
Advisory Committee on Vol
untary Foreign Aid"
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS,
! and representatives of other
voluntary agencies, includ-
ing non-C Catholic organiza-
tons, have urged Congress to
consider such an authorize
ton.
There is extreme gratifi.
cation that the final content
of the law opens the door to
further collaboration of pri-
vate endeavor in our joint
efforts with the US. govern.
ment toward peace and plen-
ty for the whole human fam.
lily.
Government and voluntary
agencies have worked togeth-
er now for many years, espe.
cially in the fields of refugee
reception and resettlement, of
food distribution and disaster
relief.
IN THE PAST eight years,
over nine billion pounds of
us. foods, valued at SIS bill.
hon, were distributed by 81
voluntary agencies to more
than go million persons in 90
countries.
More than a million
escapes from behind the
Iron Curtain have been fed,
housed, clothed and given
hope for a new life because
of programs conducted joint.
ly by the government and
voluntary agencies.
In earthquake and hurri.
cane, drought, flood and
famine, we have joined forces
to minister to suffering men,
women and children.
FROM THESE COMMON
experiences we all - official
administrators and private
personnel have learned
much and have developed in
tertwining capabilities and re.
sponsibilities. We have come
to need and to rely upon
each other according to abil.
ity, function and resource.
This background prepares
us for an ever more fruitful
collaboration in the future.
The opening section of the
new law states: The Con-
gress approves the efforts of
the peoples of other lands
who are striving to establish
and develop politically indie.

UseofCuban.
DoctorsUrued

A PhiIadelphia businessman
came to Washington yesterday
to seek broader support for his
campaign to use the talents
Of Cuban refugee doctors.
At present, Martin Decker
told q news conference. about
$40 Of Havana's best doctors
are stranded in Miami. Some
Of them are without work;
others are washing dishes for
a meager living.
These men are not licensed
to care for patients In this
country. and they must take
a special examination before
they can even begin an intern
ship at an American hospital.
Start Ball Rolling
But Mr.. Decker and friends
III the Philadelphia area have
begun a do-it-yourself move
Yhent to use the Cuban ply
acians' skills in research and
teaching positions.
! Mr.. Decker, president Of a
research and development cor
poration IN the Philadelphia
suburb Of Bala Cynwyd, hired
one Of the refugee physicians.
Or. Luis Arais, to work in his
laboratories about two months
ago. At the same time, two
other Cuban doctors joined the
medical faculty at Temple Uni
Versity in Philadelphia.
DR.. Arais, a 36-year-old ex-
uert on heart and circulatory
diseases who received some Of
Ms training under DR.. Paul
Dudley White, has worked out
50 well that Mr.. Decker is
sending him back to Miami
within a few days to recruit
q dozen more Cuban physi-
dams.
bJobs are awaiting these
men, Mr.. Decker said, at the
University of Pennsylvania,
Temple University and other
research and teaching centers
in the Philadelphia area.
Sees Wide Demand
The business executive said
he is sure a similar demand
for the talents Of these refugee
physicians exists in other
cities. He thinks the Federal
Government ought to set UP a
center where the doctors could
be screened for security and
matched up with teaching and
research openings in this
country.
But until the Government
acts, he is willing to make his
office at The Decker Corp. in
Bala Cynwyd, Pa, the clearing
house for their employment.

Such views, he said don't re-
fleet a real grasp Of the
church's nature, for "the spirit
permeates the whole church"
and works its fruits and in
sights on many levels.
Criticism Encouraged
Papal encyclicals and pas
toral letters from bishops,
Father Baum continued, usually
take into account and presup-
pose q vital spiritual movement
which the Holy Ghost has pro-
duced in the life Of the people.
All Catholics are involved In
the process, he said, even in the
church's role Of teacher
we must articulate our
thoughts.
This includes frank criticism

RELIGIOUS authorities. like
all human authorities, in order
to govern the church will need
to draw strength from a vigor-
Gus and demanding voice of
public opinion" Mr.. Ryan said.
This does not detract from
or lessen the authority Of the
Pope or Of the Council OF
Bishops, both Of which have
supreme e jurisdiction either
singly or jointly, to pronounce
finally on church matters.

Of the ecclesiastical magister.

announce the authentic doc
trine," said Father Baum, "bui
in the consequent development
Of this doctrine the people as 9
whole are engaged"
Not only that, he said, but
"the laity are fully represented
at the council-through theil
bishops. The bishop Is the rep
resentative Of his people
he embodies them; he gives
voice to their faith"
The church, Father Baum
says, is not a monarchy. nor ar
oligarchy, nor a democracy, but
it contains elements Of all
three forms Of organization
He adds:
THE christian community Il
not divided into an active part
Of men giving orders. and q
passive one Of men being LED
The mysterious sharing oi
