Why is Catholic Church

Church in favor Of censor.
ship? Doesn't fhe Church
trust peoples Judgment?
A. so if thy right eye is
an occasion of sin to thee,
pluck ii out and cast it from
thee; for it is better for thee
that one of thy members
should perish than that thy
whole body should be thrown
into hell" Matthew 5:29).
The Catholic Church must
fulfill its mission Matthew
%: 1920 and must carry out
its moral and spiritual duty
c"Feed my lambs, feed my
sheep" - John 21:15).
Just as poison must be la
beled and narcotics must be
controlled by law, so some
books, movies, etc, should be
controlled. If the individual
judgment were perfect we
would not have such a growth
of indecent and obscene liter
allure in our society.
Education and knowledge
do not eliminate sin. The
Church's mission is to guide
and protect men when, as and
if they need it. There is great
difference of opinion among
educated Americans a about
censorship land practic
everybody favors outlawing
obscenity).
The exact limit of legiti-
mate control is hard to find
and there are vari atoms
among well-informed Catho-
lies and among Catholic NOR
alists as to the best way of
fulfilling this moral directive
of Christ. Individual church
men and reviewers often dis
agree, but good Catholics can
find safe general guide lines
in the Catholic press. The
word censorship is a red her
ring, used by people who
prejudice the argument be-
fore it starts. Read "Catho-
lie Viewpoint on Censorship"
@. In writing of the ecu
menieal movement and the
coming general Council q
writer says we should bury
our dosmsfie differences and
simply stick TO the Bible and
the sermon on the mount.
ETC.!
A. That is a pleasant
thought. If the Catholic
Church is to be the Catholic
Church it must be an organi-
zation that believes itself to
be derived directly from
Christ and the Apostles. II
must believe that it has au-
thority from Christ and that
its mission includes the appli-
cation and Interpretation of
the Bible and early Christian
tradition.
If the Catholic Church sac
rifices the dogma of the Trim
ity (some religious denomina-
items deny it, and of the di-
vinity of Christ (many Chris
tians doubt or deny it, what
would be left? Cooperation is
essential as Pope John XIII
has pointed out. There are

world, to consider and de-
eide, under the presidency of
the pope, matters concerning
the whole of Christendom.
An Ecumenical Council is al
ways a universal council; the
terms have the same meaning.
To be ~"ecumenical" in the
full sense, a council must be
universal as to its summon
ing, its execution and its
power. In the traditional term
inology, a council is ecumeni-
cal and universal only if it is
juridically representative, the
authoritative organ, of the
whole Church. 1t cannot be
representative of that apart
from the pope, without whom
the Church would be a visi-
BILE body with no visible head,
an acceptable (headless)
Church.
THE NECESSITY of a visi-
BILE head cannot be gainsaid
on the ground that, even with
out the pope, the Council has
a head, namely Christ. Christ
is the invisible Head of the
whole Church. This He is in
virtue of His fullness of pow
err, and from Him grace
flows into men, who are
thereby made righteous be-
fore God. But the pope, by
the will of Christ as witness
ed by the New Testament, is
Christ's visible representa-
tive as to "the external gov
eminent of the members of
the Church" as possessing
the office of supreme shep-
herd and teacher, not through
any fullness of power of his
own, but as commissioned by
Christ, and so he is the visi-
bic head of the Church, with
out whom the Council cannot
be truly ecumenical.
Since its separation from
Rome, the Orthodox Church
has never seriously attempted
to call an Ecumenical Coun-
Gil, Many theologians of the
Eastern Church hold that the
Orthodox Churches alo n e
could not summon an Ecu
menical Council, since they
are not the universal Church,
but only a part of it. Others
are of the opinion that the
want of visible unity can he
made up for by the invisible
bond with Christ as Head of
the Church. But we cannot

High Winds Cancel Paradrop
 By Canadians

The paradrop by the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light h. fantry was called off this after noon because of 25-knot winds over the drop zone. Instead the eight C-l19 troop transports landed at Nome Field.
 The Canadians then started an overland trek to toward the ag- gessor forces about four miles away. They were guided by ele- ments of the 1st Scout Battalion of the Alaska National Guard. The Canadians were in company strength, about ITO men.
 Earlier today a US. Air Force turboprop transport brought in group of correspondents and ob- servers.
 A Canadian Royal Air Force plane came in earlier with Gen. Rockingham of the Canadian forces.
 In the meantime both Wien's F27 and Alaska Airline's DC4 landed at the airport on their regular schedules. And an Air ESQ made several passes over the field.
 Nome Field was quite the busi. est place on Seward Peninsul; as a gas crane was also maxim, it's way along the field toward Cl19 which had lost an engin just prior to it's arrival here O Wednesday.

City Asks Congressional Delegation Use Good
 Offices In BIA Dispute

The City of Nome has taken official notice of the dispute cur rently raging between the State and the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs. Following is the text of telegram sent by Mayor Wilke in the name of the City Council to Alaska's congressional delega- ton. Rep. Ralph Rivers and Sens. Bartlett and Gruening:
 The citizens of the City of Nome are shocked and stunned that the Bureau of Indian Affairs will not join in the proposed vo- cational school in this area.
 Aside from the statements of "pork barrel'' legislation and politics as reported in the press, the attitude of the BIA hurts the party in power and the program of President Kennedy in aid to education.
 Nome was chosen for the site of this school after a careful survey by persons experienced in site location and related services and the Nome location was one oi many considered and reported on to the State Board of Education.
 This school is badly needed in this area, the largest Eskimo pop ulation in Alaska, and WE urge you to do whatever possible to have the Interior Department and the Bureau of Indian Affairs te reconsider their stand in this mat, ter and join Alaska in helping thu Native people of Northwestern Alaska.
 America is in a great race, {; race between education and dis aster. God help us all if the wronl element wins.

State Department Rules Out Visit from Tshombe

WASHINGTON R = The State Department Thursday ruled out any visit to the United States now by Noise Tshombe, president of the Congolese secessionist Pro- vince of Katanga.
 "We believe that a visit to the United States by MT. Tshombe at this time would interrupt and jeopardize progress toward the common objectives," department press officer Joseph Reap told news conference.
 The Congolese central govern ment of Prime Minister Cyrille Adoula shares this view, Reap said.
 His announcement marked the end of weeks of speculation about Tshombe's intention to come to
 the United States and attend a lrally at Madison Square Garden
 early in March. The rally is re- ported to have been organized by lpro-Katangese conservative groups which are critical of the US.

Action Completed on Alaska's Exhibit at C21 To Tune of $137,OOO

JUNEAU R = The Senate com pleted legislative action yester- day on a bill providing $137 ,000 for Alaska's participation in Seat ties Century 21 Exposition.
 The bill now goes to Gov. Win. Egan for his approval.
 Sen. John McNees floor mana ger for the bill, said the budget as outlined by the State Division of Tourism, does not provide funds for native dancers from Alaska who will perform at C21-
 But, McNees said, intensive ef- forts are being made to obtain funds from other sources to in- sure the appearance of three Alas ka native dance groups, the King Island dancers from Nome, the Chilkat dancers from Haines and the Tlingit dancers from Yalxu- tat.
 In Seattle, McNees said, an att tempt is being made to obtain free housing and board for the native dancers at the University of Washington. Contributions for other expenses will be sought in Alaska, McNees said.

Former Highway Boss Claims Funds
 We're Not Adequately Appropriated

district highway engineer at An chorage, to Al Gardner, assistan state highway engineer, whicl said in part:
 Manager of Alyeska Ski Re. sort near Girdwood called ou1 foreman Sunday morning and said he hald talked to MT. Down ing long distance and had been authorized to direct the foreman to sand the private road to the ski lift"
 Sherard said the division also received requests for mainte- nance on 34 other roads for which no federal aid matching funds were available.
 Sherard also said highway funds were sometimes used for other purposes. He said road funds were used to build 2O-foot ex- tension to building at the Bethel airfield.
 Is Concerned
 II am concerned about the highway budgets ability to stand all the outside activities which we are required to finance because I fear, if we find our selves without enough funds to match federal aid, the blame will be laid at the door of the Di- vision of Highways he wrote.
 There is an old saying about being 'nickeled and dimed to death It appears we are being ten thousand dollared to death !"
 When he was advised by Down. ing on Jan. 25 that he was be dis missed, Sherard said, he asked if Downing wanted to fire him or thought he should be fired. Tn both instances, Sherard said, the answer was "no."
 In a meeting with Egan the same day, Sherard said, the Gov ernor told Sherard he was being dismissed because of the neces- sity for a supplemental appropri- ation had embarrassed Egan and because ''poor estimates made by highways on dates contracts were to be let were intolerable."

JUNEAU LR Alaska's former highways boss said last night that had the highway construction re- volving fund been adequately funded there would be no need to request supplemental appro- priation.
 Thurman D. Sherard told the Senate'S special Highway Investi- gating Committee he advised his superiors many times that the fund was in precarious financial situation.
 Roger c. Connor, Sherard's at torney, entered into the record a number of documents dealing with Highways Division matters.
 Tn Memo
 In a memo to Public Works Commissioner Richard Downing and Deputy Public Works Com missioner Lawrence D. Wilson dated June 29, 1861, Sherard said:|
 T have been of the opinion for some time that the people of Alaska are not aware of the States financial condition and the shortage of highway construction and maintenance monies to satisfy present-day needs and demands. I believe many people think that our now, expanding federal aid highway program gives Us an un- limited supply of money.
 T suggest that is time for us to begin advising these people that we do not have an mex haustible supply of money and that we are financially unable to perform the additional main tenance and construction work which they insist upon. Tn fact, it should be pointed out that we will have a most difficult time to maintain those roads now on the federal aid highway system un- less an additional source of funds is supplied <

Atty. Gen. Moody Refuses to Name Top Official In Nome School Quip

JUNEAU lR - Attorney Gen. eral Ralph Moody refused We'd nesday to disclose the name of an Interior Department official who described the proposed Nome Vo- cational School as sspork barrel' legislation.
 He confirmed, however, that the term was used in his presence at a December meeting in Wash ington, DC, with officials of the Interior Department and the Bu- reau of Indian Affairs
 The governor has advised me not to disclose the name of the person who made the remark. since it would not be in the best Interest of the State in it's rela- tionship with the BIA,' Moody said.
 Moody was asked to appear be- fore the House Federal Relations Committee which was consider ing a resolution highly critical of the BIA in it's refusal to parti- cipate financially or otherwise in the vocational school.
 Moody told the committee that. to the best of his recollection, the remarks were made at a meeting in the office of Philleo Nash, Commissioner of the Bureau Of Indian Affairs. He said about 10 or l15 persons were present, in- c1uding Assistant Secretary of the Interior John Carver.
 Asked directly if the remark was made by Nash or Carver, Moody declined to answer on grounds of executive privilege, and on the advice of Gov. Wm. Egan.
 Are you the Attorney General of the people or the governors lawyer?' asked Rep. Bruce Ken dall sharply.
 Moody made no reply. No Apology Made
 ssHas an apology been made to 1 the governor or to the State of 1 Alaska for the pork barrel re- mark?" asked Rep. Forbes Baker.

and doesn't want his parents to find

larry sympathize with the parent with
the youngster in trouble. He hopes
that by keeping it unpublished that
he will reform and not do it again
Who can say whether he is right or
wrong? Some times he is right but
more often greater lesson comes by
printing his offense than by hiding it,
We can have genuine feeling for
the outstanding citizen and perhaps
church worker who gets caught speed

to have been arrested in the first place
and is reluctant to have his name in
the paper.
In the days ahead. we will keep

to have the public express itself as
to whether the printing of the Mayors

we should heed the recommendation

MAYORS COURT
REASON WHY

Replying to The Tribune's question
of last week as to why the Mayor and
Town Board had requested that the
proceedings of Mayors Court not be
printed in the newspaper, Mayor
Howard Harrelson this week gave this
answer:
Persons appearing i'm Mayors
Court have complained to the Mayor
and Commissioners about their names
being in the paper and threatened not
to trade in Tabor City. They have
expressed the belief that when they
paid their fines or served their sem
fences that this is punishment enough
and that the public doesn't need to
be told about it,"
In a few words, that is the reason
as explained to US and apparently
that is the only reason.
We have the highest regard for the
mayor and the commissioners and
Know them to be honorable men. But
not 10 print the names of the people
In court Just because they don't want
them printed strikes us as being most
unusual. We are sure that many
hiuraerefS, thieves, rapiStS, etc,
would prefer that their actions not
De publlclzed, but we have known of
ITO cases In this country where their
every Whlm was respected.
Merchants throughout the town
nave heard offenders in the Mayors
court threaten to leave the commun-
lty, stop their trading, ETC., long be-
lore we began printing the court pro-
ceedlngs. Some have genuinely felt
that they were given tickets for the
most MINOR of otfenses that in many
towns would not even have raised the
eyebrows of the policemen, and if
they were stopped at all, it would
nave been only TO pass out a friendly
warning.
