Pope's bull singled out the
Church's vitality today, 1t
pointed to the immense ener-
gies of the clergy and ever
more active 1aity. It further
emphasized the sufferings of
entire Christian communities
whose bishops, priests and
people have performed acts
of heroism certainly equal to
those of the most glorious
periods of the Church"
THUS, ALTHOUGH THE
Church may appear profound
ly changed, the Christian COM
munity is also in great part
transformed and renewed"
he added. "It has therefore
strengthened itself socially in
unity, it has been reinvigorat-
ed intellectually, it has been
purified interiorly and is
thus ready for trials"
Pope John said it is because
of this spiritual poverty of
the world" and this vigorous
vitality of the Church that he
decided to call an ecumenical
council.
1--WE CONSIDERED THAT
now the times were right to
offer to the Catholic Church
and to the world the gift of
an ecumenical council, as an
addition to and continuation
of the series of 20 great coun-
cils."
He joyfully noted the vel.

Catholics and the "lively in

attention on the part of nom
Catholics and even nom Chris
tians."
He said this demonstrated
sin the most eloquent man.
ner that the historical inn
portance of the event had not
escaped anyone"
Pope John indicated that
the council will consider prob
lens relating to Holy Scrip
ture, to tradition, the sacra-
ments, prayer, ecclesiastical
discipline, charitable and re-
lief activities, the lay apostle
late and the missions. He said
the council must also consider
problems of the temporal or
der as well, such as those
dealt with in his social ency-
clical Mater ct Magistra.
He then reviewed the prepa-
rations for the council to date,
I'VE FINALLY HAVE the
joy of announcing that this
intense work of study to
which the cardinals, bishops,
prelates, theologians, canon
lists and experts from all over
the world have given their
valuable contribution now is
nearing it's end"
It was at this point that
Pope John formally convoked
the Second Vatican Ecumeni
cal Council. After Archbishop
Felice read the words, crowds
of onlookers in the porch
burst out in applause, while
television cameras recorded
the historic moment.

IN CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
Pope Appeals to World Leaders

VATICAN CTTY-Pope
John XIII called to "shun
all thought of force" as
he renewed his pleas for
peace in the fourth Christmas
message Of his reign.
Pope John broadcast his
3,000word message to the
world over Radio Vatican and
other networks dec. 81. Fol-
lowing the broadcast, transla-
tons in 80 languages we're put
on the air.
THE PoNTIFF DECLARED
that the only means Of achiey-
ing peace today is for men to
initiate Christ's goodness in
a world where men have be-
come calculating, suspicious
and selfish"
The Pope's talk took into
account the destructive posi-
bilities of nuclear power and
warned rulers that they too
are men, fragile and NOR.
tai" He told them that they
have received their power
from God mot to destroy but
to build. not to divide but to
unite, not to cause tears to be
shed but to provide employ
ment and security"
Pope John declared:
I'VE CANNOT BELIEVE
that the terrifying energy now
under the control of man will
be released for the worlds
destruction. For side by side
with elements of fear and APP
prehension, there are positive
signs of a good will that is
constructive and productive of
good.
while we give thanks to
the Lord, the source of good
ness, we also give voice to a
heartfelt appeal that all those
who control the economic
forces should risk everything
but not the peace of the
world and the lives Of men
to seek every means that mod
ern progress has put at their
disposal to increase the well
fare and security of the world,
and not to sow distrust and
mutual suspicion.
"And again to use the words
of Our Encyclical Mater ct
Magistra, We point out with
sadness that while on the
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1961-12-29

one hand are brought out in
strong relief situations of
want, and the specter of mis-
cry and hunger haunts us; on
the other hand scientific dis
coyeries, technical inventions
and economic resources are
being used, often extensively,
to provide terrible instruments
of ruin and death"
POPE JOHN RECALLED
that "this is now the fourth
Christmas on which We, the
poor son of the people - if
We may openly express what
We inwardly consider Our
self to be-called to the sum-
nit of the priesthood and gov
eminent of the Church, have
by the help of Gods grace put
all Our heart into declaring
this great message of peace"
The Pope outlined the troub-
les and concerns that current
ly face mankind.
eff we look at the events Of
recent times, we might we'll
say that in our day fear and
alarm are producing a burn
ing fever of arrangement one
from another, and though this
is unconscious in many cases,
it is for all that noticeable in
dealing with others and leads
to continuous disturbance in
domestic, social, civil and in-
ternational relationships" he
said.
"IF WE CONSIDER mutual
relationships as they exist to-
day in national and interna-
tional affairs, we can see how
far they still are from the di.
vine teaching which shines in
the age of the Old Testament
and bursts out into perfect
light with the coming of the
Divine Master in the fulness
Of time. All His teaching is
an invitation to peace"
But today, the Pope said,
sThere is often a spirit OPP
posed to peace"
Pope John then noted the
spiritual failure of modern
man. He said sit is the pride
of the man of power who de
Stroys; it is the greed of the
man of wealth who harden:
his heart to the needs of hi;
brothers.; it is the callousnes:
of the comnlacent man who

Mediation Offered
Only last week, Canadian
Foreign Minister Howard C.
Green suggested that Canada

Cuba. Canada, while no ad-
mirer of the Castro regime, has
been less troubled than the
United States over Prime Min
lister Fidel CaStro's threat to
other nations of the hemi-

The hazards to peace posed
by the situations in Laos and

how to strengthen the United
Nations and the North Atlantic

Mr.. Kennedy's last trip to
Canada was in 1857. He was

Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy administra-
tion's formal opposition to the
bill to permit optional retire.
ment of Federal employees on
full annuities after 80 years
service, regardless Of age, just
about kills the m asure's
chances of enactment at this
session of Congress.
The Senate Civil Service
Committee, which is holding
hearings on the bill, is expected
to approve it. And there Is a
good chance that the Senate
might. But favorable action by
the House is extremely unlikely.
Thus, the bills chances are
virtually nil.
OF course, compromise may
be worked out which would
allow employees to retire after
80 years of service at age IS,
with no reduction in annuity.
At present, employees may re-
tire after 80 years of service
at age SIS, but they have to
take a l per cent reduction
in annuity for each year they
are under so.
AS this column predicted
more than a month ago, the
administration yesterday op-
posed the 30-year retirement
bill. It's basic objections were
mainly that it would set a bad
example for the American work
force generally, since the Amer
lean economy in the next IS
years is going to need more
professional, technical, white
collar and skilled blue collar
personnel, rather than less. En-
couraging employees to retire
while they were at the peak of
their work productivity would
harm the American economy,
the Senate group was told.
Employe leaders such as
jerome Heating, vice president
of the National Association of
Letter Carriers, inrebuttal testi-
mony declared that the trend
in industry is to encourage
earlier retirement and that the
optional 30-year retirement for
Federal employees would not
counteract that trend.

committee got a wry c!1uckie
from the predominantly Fed
eral employe leader audience at

that although President Ken
nedy opposed 30-year retire.
ment now, Mr.. Kennedy voted
for the bill in 1856 when he
was a Senator. The bill passed
the Senate in 1856 but died in
the House.
TRAVEL ALLOWANCES -
The House today is expected to
approve and send to the Senate
-3279. the bill to increase
the present $12,a day maximum
travel allowance of Government
employees to SIS.
Sponsored by Representative
Granahan, Democrat of PENN
sylvania, the measure also in
creases the present 10 cent
automobile mileage allowance
to IL cents, provides reimburse
ment for parking fees and
raises from $25 to $50 a day the
expenses in extraordinary or
unusual cases involving Govern
ment officials or employees on
special travel assignments in
volving unusually large ex-
penses.
Favorable Senate action is
expected soon on the bill. The

Attacked Integrotionists End Bus Trip
Through Alabama, Fly to New Orleans

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. May Is
(AP.-Battered integrationists
abandoned their bus trip
through Alabama last night
sand-after two bomb scares-
flew to New Orleans.
The departure of the II men,
bers Of the Congress of Racial
Equality-nine white persons
and eight Negroes-ended two
days of violence and race ten
sion in Alabama. Gov. John
Patterson warned the group he
could not guarantee their safe
ty If they remained in Alabama.
He promised an escort to the
nearest State line.
They were forced to leave
an Eastern Air Lines plane
after the FBI said it had re-
ceived a telephone warning a
bomb had been concealed
aboard the plane.
Eastern said later the flight
was Cancelled, although no
bomb was found.
Bomb Threat Is Hoax
A later call to a public in
surance booth in the airport
waiting room told a woman
clerk that a bomb had been
concealed in the air terminal,
itself.
A mans voice told Miss Jean
Taylor the bomb was set to
go off within 18 minutes. At
the end of this time. however,
there was no explosion.
The integrationiSts earlier
had purchased tickets aboard
a Capital Airlines plane, but
were shunted back to an East
ern plane when Capital reported
the weather at Mobile would
prohibit the plane leaving i'm
mediately.
They left aboard an Eastern
plane which arrived in New
Orleans shortly before mid
night.
Greeted at Airport
A throng of Negroes and
some white persons greeted the
group at Municipal Airport in
New Orleans.
Almost as large was the
group of uniformed police and
plainclothesmen which swarmed
through the terminal, ward
ing off any threat of another
night of violence. The CORE
group was attacked Sunday at
Augusta and Birmingham on
the two buses they rode into
Alabama from Atlanta. Faculty
member at the University of
