Army to Employ
Automution in
Lettering Maps

The Army Map Service in
nearby Brookmont, Md, will
get an automated system this
summer to ease the time-con-
suming chore of putting the
names Of cities and other land
marks onto maps.
The new system was an
nounced today by Concord
Contro, Inc, of Boston at the
opening of the 1861 convention
of the American Society of
Photogram m e try and the
American Congress on Survey
ing and Mapping at the Shore
ham Hotel.
The automated system pro-
duceS a plastic map overlay
from which engravings can be
made. 1t may shorten the time
required to prepare maps by
S to 10 per cent, the firm said.
Officials of the firm said
present Army Map Service per-
sonnel will be able to operate
the new system after a months
training. They said automation
of map processing is needed be-
cause of the great volume Of
data being gathered through
aerial photography and soon
to be gathered by satellites.

Star Staff Writer

District fire officials today
were investigating the cause of
a four-alarm blaze that de-
stroyed the interior of Simpson
Memorial Methodist Church at
Thirteenth and Monroe streets
NV. yesterday afternoon.
Officials said there was a
possibility of arson, but that
they were also considering faulty
wiring as the cause of the blaze.
Twenty persons-14 of them
children-fled to safety from
the church basement after they
were warned that the floor
above was ablaze.
Just before 5 pm, youngsters
supervised by three adults were
being entertained in the base
ment by a singing group, the
five Hagler brothers who live
three doors away at 1900 Mon
roe street.
The singers father, r. A.
Hagler, walked out of his house.
saw smoke coming from the
church, and ran into the base
ment to warn the group. AS
they fled through a basement
door, fire officials said, the
blaze had become so fierce
that the windows were popping,
from their frames.
According to Fire Chief
Millard H. Sutton, the blaze
started in q side room near the
main altar and had spread to
the rafters of the brick and
wood church by the time the
first alarm was sounded at

A second alarm was sounded
at ASS pm, a third at 4:58
pm. and a fourth at 500 pm.
Chief Sutton said more than
25 pieces of fire equipment and

POPE URGES PASTORS:
Make Church Stand
On Marriage
Sanctity Clear

ize Catholics with the Church's
position on marriage and also
asked for the help of call
who have the desire and the
means to influence public
opinion"
Pope John spoke at an au-
dience granted members of the
Sacred Roman Rota, high
Church court, at the beginning
of their legal year. The judges
and lawyers were led by the
tribunals dean, Msgr. Fran
els Brennan of Philadelphia.
The Pope told them:
"Since doctrinal uncertain
ties, arising in various places
and in different forms, threat
en- to confuse public opinion,
a solemn and grave reminder
of the soundness of the prin-
ciples which inspire the
Church's defense of matri-
mony is eminently needed"
THE cHURcH's DEFENSE
of the indissolubility of mar
riage is not merely a matter
of Church or civil law, the
Pope said. Nor is it an arbi-
trary position that can be
changed by succeeding gener-
atoms, he added. The indis-
Solubility of marriage, he de-
clared, comes from the very
will of God.
The Pope said that the in
egrity of marriage is the most
valuable asset of social life
and that public opinion must
not be confused about it.
THERE IS ONLY one rea-
son for Our saying what We
have" he continued. sit Is the
same reason that has motivat-
ed the entire spiritual action
of the Church through the
ages, namely the salvation of
souls -. Your (the Rota's)
work also contributes toward
the assertion of this supreme
finality of the Church h.
Through the unimpeachable
evidence of truth and justice
it is a reminder of the re-
deeming will of the Heavenly
Father"
During the audience, Msgr.
Brennan gave a report of the
courts activities from Deem
Der ], 1860, to November 80,
1861.
OF 242 cases brought before
the court during that time,
all of which asked for annul-
ments, so declarations of null,

IN THE PUBLICATIONS
field, where Catholic laymen
are increasingly seen wearing
the editors mantle, there has
been a marked improvement
in reliability" Editorials are
more frequently frank and
more healthily self-critical Of
our own shortcomings; more
outspoken on current issues;
more willing to print letters
to the editor; more intelligent
ly defensive of Christian prin-
ciples.
Undoubtedly, the single
most significant event involv-
ing the rise of the Catholic
layman," was the election Of
a Catholic as President for the
first time. The effect of this
on the spirit of the lay apostle
late is hard to discern, but /
have no doubt that it exists.
THE FEDERAL AID to edu.
cation issue arising early in
President Kennedy's first year
produced tensions among laity
and clergy alike.
1t resulted in discussion,
debate and plain argument
within and without the Church
about many church-state mat
tiers, some of which involved
the role of the layman in
secular society and the par
ent's relationship to the Cath
Ollie school. In many respects,
this tension was unfortunate,
and perhaps unnecessary;
however, it did give consider
able evidence that there is a
large body of intelligent and
articulate laity that recognizes
its responsibility to speak its
mind in the affairs of state
and church that affect the
family and child, and the
rights of religious education.
There have been signs this
year that might be called "the
testing of the lay initiative"
They have consisted in gentle
probings such as the various
petitions on the part of the
laymen for the greater use
of the vernacular in the
liturgy; and outspoken ques-
tons such as those raised by
the distinguished elder states
man Professor Jerome Ker-
win as to whether or not
there were "two Churches
one of the clergy and one
of the laity."
BY and large such testings
have been prudential-though
/ believe there have been
some exceptions - and fall
we'll within the concept of
the Church as the Mystical
Body, within the idea that
bishops, priests and laymen
are "the Church" and each
has a special responsibility
for the health of the whole
Mystical Body. l predict that
this lay initiative will con-
tinue to grow in the year
ahead and it will grow in wis
dom and maturity and with

Ecumenical Council and most
especially the hope held out
for the laity by the work of
the Preparatory Commission
on the Lay Apostolate.
The laity of this country
were encouraged by the many
statements of the European
hierarchy and the Holy See
itself suggesting that the lay
men should think about and
discuss among themselves
their concerns on the life of
the Church so that they might
be a part of the preparatory
discussions of the Ecumenical
Commissions.

initiative taken by the laity
in discussing the Ecumenical
Council.
THE CONVENTION OF the
National Council of Catholic
Men last May in Pittsburgh
has been called a "break-
through" in lay apostolate
p~rogramming. Some 5000 men
met in four days of workshop
discussion on the challenging
theme of "The Apostolic Lay
man - New Challenges in
Christian Unity"
The finest of lay and cleri-
cal minds met to define the
basic issues of our time and
to lay bare the obstacles to
Christian unity. This meeting
was no doubt both a cause and
an effect of the "new spirit"
of the laity in 1861. So too
was the successful national
convention of the Christian
Family movement at Notre
Dame this summer.
SOME 2,4Oo COUPLES
spent the weekend together
in study, prayer, and program
ming dedicated to the con-
cept that the family can and
must work together to pene-
trate society with the prin-
ciples of Christianity.
This meeting, along with
the first joint meeting of the
National Catholic Social Ac-
ton Conference and the Ma
tional Catholic Interracial
Council, undoubtedly gave the
social apostolate great i'm
petus.
In this same area of social
action, the lay apostolate re-
ceived added stimulus from
the publication of Mater ct
Magistra. Pope John XIII,
in the clearest and most en-
phatic language, placed the
heaviest burden for the carry
ing out of the encyclical's
principles on the lay apostle
late and happily underscored
lay spirituality in terms of
the need of the modern lay
man to find it in the world
of his everyday life and not
necessarily in a monastery.
1861 has been a year in
which the spirit of sacrifice
of the young Catholic layman
was tested--and found to ex-
list in generous quantity. Cath
Ollie men and women proved
through their cooperation
with the Peace Corps and the
Papal Volunteers that they
were capable of sacrificing
much for their country and
for their Church.
THE NEW DEVELOPMENT
and growth of the lay mis-
sionary movement within the
home missions field this past
year has been most signifi'
cant. BY next year at least
800 young volunteers will be
working in the needy do
caseS of this country.

Priest Killed
By Reds

VI NAStAAOAA3
Catholic priest killed by COM
munist guerrillas in Wet
MANS Kontum province know
ingly risked death to minister
to his people.
Father Theophile Bonnet
of the Foreign Mission So
ciety of Paris was machine
gunned to death by Wet Cong
guerrillas outside the village
of Ngok Rongei on Deem
Der Is.
Villagers who found the
priests body reported that he
had died with his rosary in
his hand.
Father Bonnet's death was
reported here earlier. Now
further details have been re-
ceived. This is the story they
tell:
Father Bonnet, 35, had
been stationed in Kon Kola,
some 40 miles north of Kon-
tum near the Laotian border,
for the past ID months. He
had been instrumental in
converting several entire viii
lagos of Vietnamese highland
ers, and his success had won
him the enmity of the COM
munists.
On Sunday, December 10, a
group of Wet Cong came to
his village. They accused him
of being a spy and of report
ing on their activities to the
Americans and the central
government.
They warned him that if he
visited any of the surrounding
villages they would kill him.
But Father Bonnet refused
, to be inundated. The peo-
pie of the nearby village of
Ngok Rongei had only re-
Gently been baptized, and they
needed further spiritual assis-
lance. Thus, despite the COM
munist warning, he set off
for the village on December
Is.
Ngok Rongei was about two
hours away on foot. On the
way the priest realized that
the Wet Cong were following
him.
He reached the village. of
fered Mass and preached to
the villagers. During Mass
the people closely surround
ed the altar to shield him.
At the end of Mass the
people told him that the COM
munists were waiting for him
outside the village. Father
Bonnet replied that he knew
they were there. Taking out
his rosary he said goodbye to
the villagers and began the
trek back home.
About half an hour later
the people heard machinegun
fire. When they reached the
scene they found the priest
already dead, still holding his
rosary.
A native of France, Father
Bonnet was ordained in 1851.
In Kon Kola he succeeded a
Vietnamese priest - a Faith
er Mimi - who also was kill
ed by the communists.
Last November anothe r
priest, Father Felix LIE Vinh-
Trim, was killed when his jeep
detonated a communist mine
near Vinh Long. Bishop An

Vinh Long escaped u~ninjured
a few days later when he was
ambushed by Red guerrillas
