of people pick up on the
average weekend. AT any rate,
nobody will bother you and
this is not unattractive at
times.
Sometimes when children
hear the phrase "beatific Wis
ion" used, they think God has
invented a new screen pro-
cess like Vista Vision. They
figure heaven to be a vast
theater. If you have been a
really good boy or girl you
get a box seat. If you have
been sneaked in at the last
moment through a side door
by the intervention of a
favorite saint, you might end
up in the peanut gallery.

The American Indians idea
Of heaven was a happy hunt
ing ground with plenty of
game to stuff his stomach.
Starvation was his constant
threat and his concept Of
heaven was centered around
a full stomach.
THERE is A new tribe of
Americans called the golfing
tribe. A golfers idea of
heaven is to play a champion
ship course, to break par
and then spend the rest of
eternity at the 10Th hole re-
playing the game stroke by
stroke telling a few heaven
ly exaggerations and not
worrying about who is at
home with a cold supper and
an even colder attitude.
Many Catholics get their
notion of heaven from the as
piration said in time of death
Eternal rest grant unto
them, o Lord" They look
upon heaven as a place where
you will catch up on all the
sleep you may have lost over
the last 20 years, especially
with the 2 am. feelings.

TELSTAR the American ideal

spelled out what he meant when he said "that we will
be prepared to discuss with a United Europe the ways
and means of forming a concrete Atlantic partnership,
a mutually beneficial partnership between the new un.
ion emerging in Europe and the old American union.
He continued that this Atlantic partnership would mot
look inward only, preoccupied with its own welfare and
advancements. 1t must look outward to cooperate with
all nations in meeting their common concerns"
AS for Telstar, President Kennedy also hailed it
as san outstanding example" of what cooperation be-
tween government and business can achieve.
AS WE KNOW, TelStar was developed and paid for
by American Telephone and Telegraph Company which
gambled millions of dollars on the device and paid a
Federal Space Administration fee of $27 million to
send it into orbit.
This would certainly serve as an example of the
confidence government has in big business and at the
same time of the confidence private enterprise has in
the us. government knowing that Telstar will be used
in carrying out the hope for a community of free ma
tons.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-07-20

Not to be overlooked, as far as business is concern
ed, is the profit in wealth and power which will accrue
to AT&T to an incredible degree. This will be brought
about through the cooperation of our own government
and other nations.
Many people here and abroad think it is a mistake
to allow private industry to gain such power. But we
believe that US. business leaders and our government
officials have the same goals and that working together
they will serve as a balance to each other in this area,
so that in the final analysis the people will gain by the
tremendous advances of science and technology.
WE BELIEVE that Telstar could only have hap
pened here and now in the United States of America.
It demonstrates what can be done when private enter
prise and government cooperate. There could be abuS-
es in the future, but we would hope that freedom-lov-
ing citizens and an enlightened electorate acting
through its representatives in Washington will fore.
stall any such abuses and make this achievement pro-
ductive for good to our country and its people.
In short, we believe that Telstar is an ideal symbol
of what the United States represents in the world
today. - A

If the Presidents analysis
of our economic problems is

our economic problems at the

it follows logically that AGA.
demic economists have an
absolutely indispensable role
to play in solving them. They
will not be able to play this
role effectively if they are
impractical and as unimagin-
alive as Myrdal and Raskin
have charged them with be-
ing. That's a very good rea-
son for hoping that the Myr-
dial Raskin indictment of the
profession will prove to have

ones who can prove this point
and make it stick. They can
do so by developing new and
more effective solutions to

problems of 1862.

The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-07-20


This initial series of re-
marks will not deal in detail
with these basic problems but
rather with the impression
that Spain produces on the
visitor who has seen it over
the years, under the mon
archy, the republic, just be-
fore the civil war, after the
war and as recently as three
years ago.
WOULD SAY that the
first impression is of the
startling economic revival of
Spain. This is evident from
the moment one leaves his
plane at Barajas airport.
There is much evidence of a
revitalized economic life in
business and in the general
air of this great capital city.
The Spain of austerity and
difficulty, the Spain that suf-
fered from isolation and de.
preston after the United Ma
tons blockade of 1916 and
1947 has vanished. Madrid is
a busting, active and enor-
mously prog city.
Abundance marks everything
in a way that demonstrates
that Spain has moved percep-
tibly nearer the rest of Eu-
rope in this sense.
Certainly there is no evil
dence in Madrid of turmoil
Or unrest. The placidity is alb
solute. The effects, such as
they were. of t h recent
events in ASturias and Cata-
lonia are not visible. In fact,
the disappointment of numer-
Jus foreign correspondents
who flocked here in the hope
that great events were about
to break, was very keen.
Nothing much happened that
was newsworthy. Madrid, at
least, is as tranquil as in the
past.
THE GREAT debate going
on in Spain may be summed
up in the idea that certain
basic social and economic
changes are indispen S a b
and that for the first time in
recent history the country is
in a position to do something
about them. The rigid curren.

cy restrictions are off. It is
no longer a painful and ex-
asperating experience to car
ry out even modest financial
operations.
There seems to be a strong
desire to bring Spain up to
the level of the rest of the
continent and provide for ma.
chinery that will stimulate
the same kind of prosperity
that all western Europe is en-
Joying. Strangely enough,
much of this anxiety - even
yearning - does not seem to
translate necessarily into pc.
Gtical terms. To be sure, the
opposition exists in its varie-
gated forms. But the prob.
lem of the regime is perhaps
less insistently stressed than
the reform Of the social struc.
ture.
General Franco delivered a
notable speech in Valencia. a
few days ago. He spoke quite
candidly of the need for work.
ing toward this new struc.
ture and of vitalizing the eco.
nomic output. This, he claim
ed, was the major challenge
of the time and the great ad.
venture for the immediate fu-
ture.
SPAIN HAS managed over
the Is years of the regime to
display a remarkable flexi-
bility in meeting each issue
as it arose. The reconstruc-
ton after the Civil War; the
survival against the blockade
and the action of the UN; the
economic depr e ssion that
placed Spain outside the cur.
rents of the postwar world
all these tendencies were met
with considerable sere nifty
and common sense.
Today the issues are differ
ent. The fundamental one is
the Common Market and
SPANS entry. Within the
country the great preoccupa-
ton is to create a way of life
that does not leave Spain in
the far rear of the nations Of
the West, from the economic
and social point of view.

THE YARDSTICK
Are US. economists
out of touch with reality
THE YARDSTICK

Twice Within recent
weeks the economics pro-
feSsion of the United
States has been accused
by competent observers of
of living in an ivory tower
and of being w%oefully out of
touch with reality and bereft
of new ideas.
ONE or these critics, Gun
mar Myrdal of Sweden, is an
internationally famous eco
nomist in his own right. The
other-A. H. Raskin of the
New York Times - is the
dean of American labor re-
porters and a very knowledge
able student not only Of labor
economics as such but of gen.
eral economic trends and
practices in the United
States.
Myrdal complained in the
course of a recent press con-
ference in Washington that
American economists have
been conspicu0usly %ineffic-
lent in teaching the ABCs of
economics to the American
people. They have e n
"brooding," he said, and "los-
ing themselves in abstract
problems"
Myrdal also paid his re-
spects to American manage
ment for its lack of imagin-
alton and though he didn't
say so to the press, he is
known to be rather critical,
too, of organized labor on
t a ntially the same
grounds.
Raskin also extended his
criticism of American eco
nomists to include the lead
ers of American industry and
the leaders of organized la
Dor. "The need for magma
tive government leadership in
economic matters" he wrote
in the January Il issue of
The Reporter. is doubly great
now because of the barren
ness of ideas in management,
labor, and the academic COM
munity. The revolutionary
progress in the physical sci
ences has no parallel in the
modernization of our econom-
ic Institutions"
THE FACT that Myrdal
and Raskin are more "liber-
al" than conservative" (hor-
ribIe words, admittedly gives
added weight to their criti-
cism of the economics profess
sion. More often than not in
the recent past it was the
conservatives, rather than the
liberals, who were wont to
refer to economists as imprac-
teal a~cademicians.
In any event, if Myrdal
and Raskin are even partially
right about the economists,
We are faced with a rather
serious problem. This is no
time for the professional eco
nomists to be brooding in an
ivory tower and to be fritter"
ing away their time and
energy on abstract studies of
no real urgency or import
ance.
On the contrary, there has
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1962-07-20

view of heaven, since it, too,
is a love relationship between
persons.
When a human being is
given the gift of heaven, he
is called to share and partici-
pate in this love relationship
with God. This is his dignity
on earth - that he can love.
This is his Unreasonable dig
nifty in heaven that he can
love in and with God in a
mystery of a relationship in
depth which no human mind
can comprehend.

Says liberal arts
graduates not dupes

Mr.. Lapirow's reasoning Letters to the Editor,
Times, July 13) escapes me. ....t #.........
How, for heavens sake, does the ACLU statement
which he quotes indict or even involve liberal arts
colleges?
FIND 1T DIFFICULT to believe that graduates of
an arts college are more inclined to be dupes-of any
Professionalism those of, say, business or engineer
ing schools.
In fact, / strongly suspect that because Of their
education their judgment is sounder than most.
I'm AFRAID that Mr.. L~apirow-like most who
Turk on the extremist fringe-has an inclination for
guilt by association"
In this case, he has somehow mixed together, /
am sure, the Ivy League, liberals, the ACLU, and come
up with his conviction of the liberal arts graduate.
