That Promised Executive
Order On Housing

During the election campaign President John
F. Kennedy explicit and emphatic in his promise
to end the scandaous extension Of government fin
ance, credit and assistance to housing industry
which practices fragrant discrimination against
large groups Of American citizens and taxpayers.
This assistance to discriminatory housing in
dustry has not ended President Kennedy has not
yet honored his promise for an executive order to
end the discrimination.
In his defense it has been argued:
/. That the order should wait until his
legislative program has been enacted, that
the Decentralization Republican coalition
would not retaliate upon him.
2. That in the present precarious state of
the economy should not unsettle any part Of
it, and particularly the building industry by
ordering sweeping changes
President Kennedy has his answer on the first
point. The Di,cecrats and Northern Republicans
have no more regard for the Presidents restraint
in this matter than they have for the welfare of
the American people So the Presidents legislative
program is blocked just as certainly as If he had
issued his order.
The second point has merit. Indeed it prob
ably works in reverse. For example it is becoming
increasingly clear that the cities cannot proceed
much further with urban renewal until they face
some of the economic facts of housing discrimina-
ton. They cannot eradicate the slums" that were
largely the product or economic discrimination in
the first place. by moving the victims Of discrimina
ton out with nowhere to 60 From on, every
such move is going to be met with increasingly
outraged resistance, by an increasingly large and
militant section Of the population
Nor is the solution merely matter Of provid-
ing public housing segregated unsegregated-
for the people who are displaced The solution will
have to be much farther-reaching than this.
In dealing with problems Of neighborhood de-
terioration we have to recognize that discrimina-
tory housing policy is a major contributing factor
The family forced by discrimination into circum-
scribed housing areas pays much as so per cent
more rent than others do for similar accommoda-
tons. The buyer in such circumstances pays 10 to 80
per cent more in purchase price and 80 per cent
more in interest. To carry the load he overcrowds
the property and negiects maintenance.
The situation is scandalous and almost criminal
1t is illegal since 1t systematically denies groups Of
American citizens and taxpayers equal projections
benefits and privileges provided by their govern
ment to others.
1t is also drag the economy and will be-
a drag time goes and decent
American citizens demand a halt further rede-
velopment until the practice of discrimination is
stopped.
The promised Presidential Order ending race
discrimination in Federal Assisted housing is long
overdue.

Reds In Cuba Pose
Problem

The presence of Russian troops or "technicians,"
in neighboring Cuba has created dangerous situa-
ton for country. President Kennedys cautious
replies at last weeks press conference, while not
reassuring, did emphasize that course should
be carefully thought out and the people not PAN
licked
However it would be foolish for the President
or anybody else to de-emphasze serious situation
which is so fraught with the danger of causing
another world holocaust
The presence Of a foreign power setting up or
operating military bases in Cuba is clearly viola
ton of the Monroe Doctrine. 1t remains to be
whether the Doctrine Is still governing influence
in this hemisphere whether with the widespread
struggle over political ideologes stretching over
the earth and into outer space 1t is to be discarded
unavoidable. In an age when opponents based In
any part of the world with missile and nuclear
ability close as your doorstep it may be that
close proximity OF an enemy is not all important,
but certainly is uncomfortable.
Russian penetration in Cuba is probably another
step in that nations rulers insistence keeping
the western powers on the defensive tactic which
has kept us more or less off balance from time to
time.
The US must either allow this concentration
Of Russian influence at our doorstep or face going
to war to remove the Red influence from that door
step We have right on our side If we decide to en-
force the Monroe Doctrine, and It is possible If we
take firm action Russia may back down. This is
the risk we may be forced to take.
It Is all a reflection on our former sad foreign
policy that the Communists have been able to take
over Cuba. Much Of it has been due to our lack Of
respect in some quarters, for the darker nations
which inhabit Cuba and South America and our
allowing some U.S. interests to exploit some of the
weaker nations In South America. Now all have
to suffer for the blindness of policy towards
hemisphere neighbors.

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

ON THE HEELS of attacks
in the press against Jomo Ken
yatta and his party, the Kenya
African National Union (KA-
NU), a new Kenya political
movement has been launched in
Nairobi. Mohamed A. Koor,
AMP correspondent in Kenya, re-
ports that the new party, accord
ing to its founders, has been form
ed "as a warning to the Kikuyu
in the Kenya African National
Union to abandon their dreams Of
domination Of other tribes of Ken
va"
The new body, which will be
called the Luo Political Movement
and which will remain affiliated
with KANU "for the time being"
was formed at a meeting attended
recently by more than 5000 Luos
in Nairobi. The Kil1uyu and the
Luo are the two major and more
advanced tribes Of Kenya, Koor
points out.
The correspondent pointed out
that Tom Mboya, Kenya labor
minister and secretary general Of
KANU, is not connected with this
new organization. Mboya is q

ment. 1t shows two intertwined circles.
One circle represents the husband, the
other the wife. They are intertwined
to show the union of the two in mar
riage. In the center of each circle is a

faith and the fire of love which r
to guide these two in their union with
each other.
TNTERSECTTNG the two circles at
the point where they intertwine is a
cross representing Jesus Christ. A
Christian marriage is the union of
three persons-tWo human in the hus-
band and Wife-and one divine in Our
Divine Lord.
Through their exchange of consent
at the wedding ceremony, these two
people declare their intention to be-
come one - in body, mind, heart and
affections. But the declaration of uni
ty does not in itself bring about one
ness. 1t takes a constant renewal, a
constant giving and sacrificing of self,
a forgetfulness of ones own needs and
a %refocusing on the needs of the other.
To make a marriage work takes less
a sense of togetherness and more of a
sense of bitterness. The magic element
is, of course, love.
In a Christian marriage, Christ i'm
mediately steps into this declaration
of unity between two loving humans
and makes of it a sacrament. Immedi-
ately their declaration of unity with
each becomes a declaration of unity
with Him. In and through their love
for each other-expressed in a thou
sand different ways = they show their
love for Him. Through their union
with each other they become one with
Him. The lines of the famous love

in the field of Catholic social action.
Up until recent years the scope of the
Catholic social action movement in
the United States was limited to rela-
lively few areas of social and CO.
nomic concern. At the present time,
however, there are small but potential
ly important Catholic organizations in
almost every area of social concern.
Most of these organizations are affili-
ated with the National Catholic Social
Action Conference which will hold its
1862 convention in Pittsburgh, Aug.
24-26.
The theme of the Pittsburgh pro-
gram is christianity and Social
Progress" In addition to the usual for.
NAL addresses on matters of current
interest, the program will include
workshops on Adult Social Education,
Civil Liberties, Credit Unions, Cow
eminent and Politics, Marketing Eth
les, Socio-E Economic Action in Latin
America, Unions in Non-Profit Organ
izations, and Urban Renewal.
THERE WILL also be a Summit
Conference on ways and means of
promoting the study and application
of the principles outlined in Pope
Johns encyclical, christianity and
Social Progress Representatives of a
score of national Catholic organiza-
tons will take part in this special
seminar on the encyclical.

much a response to external Condi-
tons and pressures as it is a direct and
conscious attempt toward renewal
within the Church.
Very likely, the statement said,
the Bishops at the Council will con
slider disunity among Christians, the
mac of atheistic communism and
the m~aterialism that engulfs the world
today. But again, internal renewal of
the Church Will be the main work of
the Council.
The Bishops reminded us that
they will not attend the Council as
mere delegates as to a congress or par
lament. They will represent solemnly
what their chief role is as constituted
by Christ: successors of the Apostles
gathered together to bear witness to
Divine Revelation, the Deposit of
Faith and to enact disciplinary regu-
lations for the Universal Church.
THE STATEMENT made it plain
the Bishops are aware of the limita-
tions of the Church in the United
States, but they are also conscious of
it's many strengths. AS such, they Will
go to the Council to participate active
ly in it's proceedings and in the hope of
making specific contributions to the

Opponents of Federal aid In any
form to private schools have been re-
sponsible for a great deal of distorted
and inaccurate propaganda in their eff
fort to defeat the so-called higher edu-
cation aid bill which the two branches
of Congress are in the process of ham,
mering out.
A CASE IN POINT is a recent col
lumn by the syndicated Jews column
list, Drew Pearson, which two MEM
bers of the Senate felt impelled to de-
nounce on the Senate floor.
In this column, Pearson suggested
that the chief beneficiaries under the
pending bill would be the nations
Catholic colleges.
"And, since the majority of insti-
tutions wanting grants are Catholic"
Pearson wrote, "and since Catholic
leaders have been advocating outright
grants, the debate has boiled down to
one of grants to Catholic colleges"
In a recent speech, Senator Winston
L. Prouty, Republican of Vermont,
challenged the columnist on two
counts.
1T is not my purpose, nor within
my province" Prouty told the Sem
ate, to engage in speculation as to
why Mr.. Pearson has taken this ap-
proach, since copies of the bill under
discussion are available to the general
public, including the press, and even
the novice could o discover that the
grant features in both bills would ap-
ply to all accidentally qualified insti-
tutions."
THE FIRST inaccuracy, Prouty
pointed out, wa the suggestion that
Catholic colleges would be the chief
beneficiaries under the proposed Fed
eral aid program. Two versions of the
bill are under discussion: a Senate bill

turity and Al utter waste of time.
1t ccu to me, in this connection,
that every article or book on the role
of the laity in the field of social action
ought to include at least one practical
suggestion for promoting a specific
project-not an overall solution to
the total problem of the lay apostolate,
but a modest recommendation which
might be put into effect right away.
Recent months have witnessed the
publication in Catholic periodicals of
a number of lamentations about the al
legedly sad state of the lay apoStolate
in the United States. Articles of this
description undoubtedly serve a useful
purpose. AT the same time, however,
writing lamentations is much easier
than solving problems.
Perhaps the time has come, there
fore, If not to call a moratorium on
articles and books on the lay apostle
late, at least to make them a little
more practical. AS the Christophers
point out, it is better to light one can
die than to curse the darkness. There
is a lot of truth in this slogan.
DONALD THORMAN'S new book,
THE Emerging Layman" Double
day, $685. is a good example of pos
tive thinking on the lay apostolate.
Mr.. Thorman can be as critical as the
next mar but he concentrates ON prac-
teal steps that can be taken here and
now to improve the situation. He says,
in summary, that while much remains
to be done, the layman of today has
an increasing number of channels for
his interests, ar ever-growing number
of means by which he may participate
in the life of the Church"
There are SO many groups, suited
to SO many tastes and interests" Mr.
Thorman points out, "that the indi-
vidual layman has fewer and fewer ex'
cuses for not participating"
This is becoming increasingly true

How do I love thee

one partner in the marriage becomes
closer to God through prayer, recep-
ton of the sacraments, and a daily
offering of his life to Christ on the
o in and through the Holy Sacri-
flee of the Mass, he necessarily grows
in love, not only of God but of his
wife. AS she, too, in her own way and
with her own gifts to God becomes a
better lover of God, so does she grow
in oneness with her husband.
There is a direct, proportionate re-
lationship between a mans love of God
and his love of his wife. He who COM
mits a mortal sin and destroys his love
relationship with God automatically
seriously affects his love relationship
with his wife. He has not only isolat-
ed himself from God, the source of all
love, and thus hurt himself, but he
has at the same time denied to his
wife what she has a right to expect
his love. Since God uses the husbands
love as a channel of His own love, she
is also cheated of this.
THIS is THE horror of mortal sin.
1t is a rejection of love for the sake
of a selfish end. A wife doesn't just
turn away from God when she COM
mits a mortal sin, she in a sense turns
God away from her husband and chill
dren. Instead of allowing God to grow
in her and in a sense letting Him over

~occasioned by the calling of the Cou1-
Gil.
We were warned however, not to
be over-optimistic about the cause OF
Christian unity as a direct and inn
mediate result of the Council. But we
were exhorted by u spiritual leaders
to deepen the spirit of brotherly love
and intensity its practice.
THE STATEMENT closes with
an appeal for prayer and sacrifice by
all Catholics in the United States that
the Holy Spirit will give the Bishops
in attendance at the Council positive
guidance, Christian courage and true
love in order to effect the looked-for
renewal within the Church.
We felt these points were worth
repeating in these columns ever
though there is a new story on the
statement elsewhere IN this issue. We
concluded this because every Catholic
must try to realize and acknowledge
the importance of the Council.
In the Columbus Diocese we have
been praying daily for the success OF
the Council since the first day of May.
The Bishops statement should inspire
us to more fervert prayer and sacri-
flee.
It should lead us to try to make
a renewal within our individual lives
and to invite our none Catholic bre.
thren to join us in prayer for the bless
ing of God on the Second Vatican
Council.-GAF
