securing the defeat of the sub

! Representative Colmer, DEM
ocrat Of Mississippi, chairman
of a Southern strategy group
opposed to civil rights legisla-
ton, said he was outraged at
what he termed the commit

Mr.. Colmer is not a mem

Democrat on the Rules Com

A 23-11 vote for adoption OF
the compromise m asur e

in the committee late yester-

Goes to Rules Committee
The next problem is to OBJ
tain Rules Committee clear
ance so the new bill can be
taken up in the House. Before
the Judiciary Committee can
request a Rules Com mite e
hearing it must draft a printed
report expected to contain at
least so pages. This was likely
to take about a week. Then, the
II members who voted against
the bill yesterday probably
would need a few days to pre-
pare a minority report.
Supporters of the comprom-
Use bill estimated today that
even if Rules Committee Chair
man Smith, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, then held hearings i'm
mediately, he and some of his
colleagues might call for consi-
derable testimony. The COM
mittee generally hears only
other members of the House.
In this instance numerous
m m b ers might ask to be
heard.
Eventual clearance by tn e
Rules Committee, nevertheless,
was predlcted on the strength
of support promised by Repub-
lican and Democratic House
leaders.

Concern Over Relations
Both propositions we're ad-
vanced in earlier debate on
Papal-Episcopal power, a dis
cussion that reflected current
concern for improving relations
between Catholics and nom
Catholic Christians in the in
terest Of promoting Christian
unity.
The Councils theological
commission will now redraft
the schema in the light of to-
days voting. which some pre-
lates described as a pilot
vote"
Each of the five propositions
was approved by such a large
number Of prelates that adop-
ton is assured once formal
balloting starts. That may
not be until the councils next
session next year.
Council administrators called
for the test votes to guide the
theological commission because
of differences that came UP in
d e b ate on papal-episcopal
power and on the permanent
diaconate.
Many council fathers argued
that the first Vatican council
90 years ago, in defining papal
infallibility, had not had time
to define the way the bishops
shared in the Pope's authority.
That council was interrupted
by the Italian nationalist up
rising that unified Italy.
Deacon Question Raised
The question of permanent
deacons was posed particularly
by prelates from Asia, Africa
and South America. They
commended that deacons were
needed in their areas to help
priests because of a shortage
of clergy.
other prelates, including
Francis Cardinal Spellman Of
New York, argued against re-
vival Of the permanent diaco-
nate on the grounds it would
pose an additional burden for
Catholic Summaries.
Considerable argument de-
veloped over whether the dea-
cons could be married. A
number Of prelates said they
approved of a permanent dia-
conate but opposed married
deacons.
Although the proposition
voted today avoided the issue,
it is expected to come to a
vote next year or later when
the council takes up the
schema on the clergy.
Deacons were part of the
church In its early days. But
now the grade of deacon is a
temporary one for seminarians
before their ordination as
priests.
Up to Groups Of Bishops
The phrasing Of today's mo-
ton on the diaconate means
that national groups Of bishops
eventually will be allowed to
decide whether they want dea-
cons in their areas. Deacons
would be allowed to perform
certain services. but only priests
would be permitted to cele-
brate mass and hear confess
sion.

Pope's Power Held
Shared by Bishops

Council fathers concluded dis
cuSSion Of q chapter entitled
The Vocation to Sanctity In
the Church." or the call TO
holiness In the church. It deals
with the concept that all in
the church should strive for
holiness In their personal lives.
Bishop John Russell Of Rich
mond. Va. speaking for an I'M
specified number Of American
prelates. said the chapter
should speak Of the ehurch's
essential sanctity" before 60
ing into the holiness Of its
members.
Virginia Prelate Heard
The Virginia prelate was
quoted as telling the council:
I'VE find sinners, racial dis
elimination, and apostates
Catholics who leave the
church,. Unless some stress Is
given to the church's essential
sanctity we are whitewashing
the facts"
The Council also opened the
way for te deums in tom-toms
bamboo flutes at benedictions
in mission lands.
BY Overwhelming votes, the
Council approved a document
that eventually will allow the
use Of native music forms for
Roman Catholic services in
such places as Africa and Asia.
Some Roman Catholics in
Africa already have special
permission to use native music
forms.
One Of two other amend
ments approved praises the
pipe organ as a traditional aid
to worship in the Latin, or
Western. church.
The other amendment urged
more efforts by composers in
the field Of sacred music
writing.
Might Use TOm-TOms
The issue goes far beyond
mere innovation in the tradi-
tional forms of sacred music.
1t is part of a movement under
way among elements Of the
church hierarchy to make
Catholicism a more significant
and understandable part of the
lives of peoples not educated
in the Latin traditions of the
church in the West.
PrelateS advocating the
changes ask what is the point
Of inflicting an organ or Latin
choral music on people who
have no cultural comprehen-
sion of that kind of music.
These prelates hold that it
would be far better to let a
native of the jungle use TOM
toms for his te deums, beating
out the rhythms he knows for
his hymns Of praise and
thanksgiving.
The 1900 Council fathers in
their meetings in st. Peters
Basilica already have voted ap-
proval of eventual use Of YER
nacular languages instead of
Latin for parts of the mass and
the sacraments.
New Vitality Sought
This, too, is q reform de-
signed to bring new vitality
and comprehension into Cath
Ollie worship.
The proposal to use native
music is an amendment to a
chapter on church music in

State Districts

Maryland voters can draw
satisfaction from the court
decision ruling Texas con-
gresSional districting uncon-
stitutional.
Texas 5th Congressional
District Is 118 per cent above
the desired average for the
State, while Maryland's 5th
is SO per cent above the de-
sired average. Most political
scientists consider that 20
per cent should be the maxi
mum allowable variance.
There is a good chance, then.
that Maryland's present con-
gressional districts are un-
constitutional.
The Texas decision should
provide added incentive to
the Maryland @ neral AS
sembly to pass an equitable

not, and If Maryland's 1851

constitutional, all eight

u. N. as Policeman

The United States has once again
declared to the United Nations-for the
umpteenth time-that 1t favors the
establishment of a permanent U. N.
peace-keeping force. Speaking through
Charles c. STEELE, key disarmament
negotiator, our country has told the
General AsSembly's Political Committee
that 1t regards the maintenance Of such
a force as a necessary concomitant"
to progress toward arms control and
a trustworthy peace. As demonstrated
in the Middle East and the Congo, there
can be little doubt about this. Ger
tainly, If the U. MS troops were with
drawn from either of these places, re-
newed warfare would ensue-with par
ticular deadliness among the Congolese.
Yet, regardless of the need for it
and the value of it, a standing, ever
ready U. N. policing contingent-a mo-
bile international force capable Of main
tanning peace in explosive regions-is
still only a kind of vision, kind Of
dream. How can it amount to much,
how can it become of a thing Of flesh
and blood and real muscle, as long as
the Soviet Union and countries like
France oppose the idea? How can 1t be
brought into being, and how be main
tanned, II people like Nikita Khrushchev
and Charles de Gaulle stubbornly refuse
to help pay for 1t?
AS far as the Congo and Middle East
are concerned, this refusal has already
brought the U. N. to the brink Of bank
ruptcy. America is now footing the bill,
but it won't do it forever. What Mr..
STEELE has proposed must be judged
neutrality-suspicious. much, If any, OPP
timism. There can be no truly effective
u. N. police force unless or until all the
key members support 1t.

Traits Fotique

1t isn't always easy to find some
thing kind to say about traffic direc-
tor, especially if he comes to mind dur
ing the $50 pm. traffic jam on any
weekday.
But sometime it might pay to con-
slider the plight of the man who is
trying to make all that tumble fall
into place, someone like New York
Traffic Commissioner Barnes. Mr..
Barnes, both during his earlier travail
in Baltimore, and for the past two years
in New York, has taken most of the
raps for every sour minute on the road.
Now Mr.. Barnes has landed in the
hospital, the victim of complete exhaus-
ton. Trying to unravel those traffic
jams has kept him hopping 10 hours a
day in the office, with overtime at meet
ingS and dinners. He recently defied a
doctors order and left his sick bed to
carry on. Just for this once, it might
be good to think kindly of the man
whose traffic problem is bigger even
than yours.

Art and Nation

Senate hearings this week have in
quired into the advisability of establish
ing National Arts Foundation and
National Council on the Arts. With some
dissent, the overwhelming majority of
witnesses declared themselves in favor
Of the legislation.
The Council would attempt to CO.
ordinate and guide the Nations already
considerable expenditure in the arts, an
expenditure which is often wasted for
lack of guidance.
The Foundation would attempt to
stimulate States, municipalities and pri-
Vate, non-profit institutions, in the
raising and spending of money for the
arts. It's own expenditure of Federal
funds would be tiny, five million the
first year, ten thereafter. But its spend
ing would be the "seed money" kind so
needed and so effective in the arts.
The modest legislation is long over
