This column usually does not COM
ment on current events. One reason
for this is that 1t is written at least
two weeks before actual publication.
However, sometimes a current event
does point up an issue of major inn
portance which in itself deserves COM
mentary, however dated in a news
event itself may be.
REFERENCE Is being made to
what might be called the Phoenix
case, although 1t is recognized that
many God fearing citizens of that
community might resent having the
name of their city attached to such a
case.
Enough already has been said and
written about the protagonists in this
human drama.
Certainly as fellow human beings
we can extend III deepest sympathy
to any two parents caught in such a
seeming dilemma. Yet as believers in
God and inheritors of a long Judaeo-
Christian reverence for human life,
we recognize that there is no dilem-
ma.
To deliberately abort is to deliber-
ately kill and God said clearly and
succinctly Thou shalt not kill" A cou-
pie who gives life initially is also
obliged to promote the development
OF the embryo into a fetus, and a fetus
into an infant, and an infant into a
child and child into a man.

A report released last week by j.
Edgar Hoover showed that crime in
the United States during the first six
months of this year increased three
per cent ove the same period in 1861.
ALL CRIME classifications showed
increases with violent crimes up three
to six percent. They in turn were
matched by property crimes of auto
theft, robbery and larceny.
The Columbus Police Department
reported a drop in forcible rape, rob-
berry. aggravated assault and burglary,
which differs from the national pic
ture and is a tribute to our law en-
forcement officers.
However, crimes in the Columbus
jurisdiction, which was the only city
in our Diocese on the report, that had

%nificantly, auto theft went from GOT
~offenses reported in 1861 to 1913 in
1862 for the first six months period.
Many people have a way of clucking
sympathetically over such matters but
show no real concren, because crime
seems remote from their daily lives.

OF course, criticism of today's la
Dor movement, ought to be as con-
structive as possible and should be
aimed at strengthening rather than
weakening the of organized la
Dor.
One would hope, therefore, that this

mons, while reminding organized la
Dor of its duties and responsibilities,
also served to remind employers, edi-
tors, and whomever else it may con-
cern that unions are not only legiti-
mate but necessary in our type of in
dustrial society.
Even at this late date-almoSt 80
years after the passage of the Wagner
Act-this principle still needs to be
reemphasized from time to time. To be
sure, many If not most of the more
influential American employers are to-
day willing to admit that unions are
legitimate and that they are probably
here to stay.
BUT TOO FEW Americans in all
walks of life are willing to go the
whole way and tn take the uncondi-
tional and unqualified position that
secure and stable unions are an essen
tial and Indispensable prerequisite of

is concerned. A third of the Catholic
world is in jeopardy because of the
Vaccinations Of the Reds and the re-
ligious problem there.
In the United States there is one
priest for every 800 Catholics, while
in Colombia one must serve 1850, in
Argentina 400, Bolivia 1900, Brazil
$3.50, Haiti $3.50 and Guatemala TO-
800. Overall in Latin America there is
one priest for every 1850 Catholics.
THIS TABULATION does not take
into account those who are not Catho-
lie, nor does it indicate the tremendous
need for religious Sisters and Broth
ers,
Pope John XIII has said "Send
priests, Brothers, Sisters and lay Pa
pal Volunteers to help Latin Ameri-
ca"
Many have answered the call: II re-
ligious orders Of priests, Sisters, and
Brothers, y Diocesan priests from
many Dioceses (including C%olumbus)
and y Young men and women who
work as Papal Volunteers (again our
Diocese is represented).
But all of us must become involved.
We must encourage more to volunteer.
We must aid financially through our
Missions office whenever We can. Most
of all we should keep the intention of
our Latin American brethren in our
daily Masses and prayers.
There are $50 million of them who
need our help. And the Pope has said
Perhaps no undertaking pleases God
more than this one."-GAF

Our neighbors to the south are be-
coming more important by the week to
II national security and economy.
Better, we are becoming more con-
cerned about them for their own
sakes.
INDEED, 1t has only been recently
brought to the attention of many
Americans what the situation really is
In Latin America.
Did you know, for instance, that
the illiteracy rate in Latin America
is 43 percent as contrasted with u
rate of 2 percent? The income per cap
tia south of the border is 1888, while
In the United States it is $2250.
We have 900 hospital beds per
100000 people and still are concerned
in many localities. But in Latin Amer
lean countries, there are only $40 for
that many people. Physicians tell us
that most of us car expect to live to
age 20, but in South American
tries it runs from As to so or so, and
in Haiti and Guatemala the average
individuals life span is 33 and 81
years respectively
A NUMBER of programs have been
initiated to help combat economic de-
privation in Latin America such as
the us. governments Alliance for
Progress and projects of private agen-
cies. This has been done to help the
people themselves and to attempt to
offset the forces of Communism which
are engaged in Latin America on a
tremendous scale.

even more serious as far as the Church

Secondly, we must return to family
discipline. OF course it cannot nor
should not be a rigorous imitation of
that employed by earlier generations.
But it does mean that it must be there
in a firm, consistent pattern.
Third, young people should be made
to face responsibility and that means
they must be given work to do COM
mensurate with their age and ability.
This doesn't necessarily mean that any
job will do. AS a matter of fact most

Editor:
In response to your request for lay
opinion regarding the Ecumenical
Council, may | say that this seems to
be the most hopeful development to-
ward Christian unity this writer has
seen in his lifetime.
LIKE THE MAJORITY of my fell
low Catholics, | have always believed
that the inner core of truth or "Es-
sence of the Church. as described by
DR.. Hans Kung in his recent book,
would go on Interchangeable and ever
lasting.
Yet, l have almost been equally con-
WINGED that the human element in this
same Church was not blameless in the
abuses of the Inquisition and Reforma-
ton periods.
Most of us remember a few vague
and hurried references to bad Popes
and the sale of indulgences when these
periods were touched upon in the
course of our Catholic grade and high
school education. Possibly it was in
keeping with the times, but certainly
it was d very limited look at the cata-
clysmic split of the Reformation.
If a start can be made in this Ecu
menical Council on the airing out and
resolving of these differences-in a
humble search for TRUTH believe our
Protestant brethren cannot fail even

THE YARDSTICK
he YARDSTICK
A little criticism goes a long way

Prior to Sept. 3 all sorts of people,
starting with the President of the
United States, issued public state
ments or the meaning of Labor Day.
Over the weekend special Labor Day
sermons were delivered in churches
and synagogues all owe the land.
1T is SAFE to say, l think, that
most Of these Labor Day statements
and sermons were more critical of or
gained labor than were those OF, say,
the thirties and forties.
During the thirties and forties the
typical Labor Day statement or SER
mon put much more emphasis on la
boris rights and privileges than on its
duties and responsibilities, more praise
of labor's accomplishments than criti-
cism of its mistakes and of its faults.
In my judgment, there wasn't any
thing re%prehensible about this tenden-
cy to accentuate the positive and TO
boris rights and privileges and on la
boris accomplishments. 1T was fully
warranted by the fact that organized
labor at that time was still on the de-
fensiye, struggling - in many cases
against very uneven odds - to win ac-
ceptance in the community and to
achieve a decent minimum of stability
and union security. i
Even today, of course, there are
some industries in come communities
in which labor is still on the defensive
and in which it has to fight a rear
guard action to protect its basic rights
and to achieve its minimum goals.
Nevertheless, taking the country as
a whole, we can say that organized la
Dor has now achieved its majority and

There's more than meets the eye
by Father John Knott

thousands of so-called therapeutic
abortions are being performed yearly
in other legitimate hospitals in the
United States.
THE AMOUNT of publicity given
to the Phoenix case, the emotional
tone of so much of the writing, and
the soap opera e~xaggerations that sur
rounded it make one wonder. Could it
be that this unfortunate Arizona cou-
pie are the martyrs, intentional or
otherwise, for the advancement of a
cause that seeks a complete change
of our present legal code which in
most part has been based on a tradi"
tional Judaeo-C Christian morality?

Opening lead: Jack Of spades.
East put up the king of
spades at the first trick, and
South won with the ace. De-
clarer saw that he could easily
win two tricks in each suit and
that his best chance for al
ninth trick was in clubs.
Considering himself quite an
artist. South led q low club
from his hand and played a !
low club from dummy. South
meant to lose this trick, of
course, and he succeeded. It
was the only success he had.
East returned a spade, and
South stepped up with the
queen of spades. Then South
led another club to dummy's
king.
Breaks Record
When the clubs failed to
break South broke the record
for the sitting jaw-drop. There
was no ninth trick. South's
artistry, to put it another way,
had enabled him to lose five
tricks.
We artists can't smoker at
the very idea of losing the first
trick in a suit. It's often the
right play, but not in this
hand.
South should start the clubs
by playing the ace and king.
If nobody shows out, declarer
can continue with a third club
to set up two tricks in dummy.
He can get to those tricks later
by way Of the ace of dia-
mondS.
Actually, South finds out
that the clubs are not going
to break. Now he must play
for a 3-3 break in diamonds.
He takes the king of diamonds
and deliberately loses the next
diamond.
This time the artistry is
necessary. South can win the
spade return and lead a dia-
mond to dummy's ace. When
the suit breaks favorably,
dummy can cash the last dia-
mond to assure the game and
