THE HUMAN SIDE OF RELIGION
Father Garner Marks
SO Years of Service
ByCASPAR NAMES
Religious News Editor Of The sta

@N9LAA@@4 @~Na &-AN@A " Aa9 0NaA
Fifty years ago a young
graduate Of G onza 6 a High
School entered the noVitiate of
the Society Of Jesus at St. An
drew-On-Hudson, POughkeep-
sic, N. Y.
Tomorrow the Rev. Francis
E. Garner will celebrate his
golden jubilee as a Jesuit with
a solemn high mass in Holy
Trinity Catholic Church, Thir-
ty-sixth and o streets NV,
where he is currently serving
as a priest.
Father Garner will be the
celebrant and the Rev. Mar
tin ]. Casey, pastor of the
church, the deacon. The Rev.
Alfred F. Kienle of St. Alloy
siUs Church will preach.
Through the half century as
a Jesuit, Father Garner has
done many things. AS a teach
er he served in many schools,
among them Woodstock Col
lege and Georgetown Prepar-
atOry School, Garrett Park,
Md. Later he became head
master at Loyola School, New
York, and his old alma mater,
Gonzaga High School, serving
there from 1899 to 1945.
Twice he has been minister
Of Jesuit communities at st.
AloySius here from 1915 to
1919 and at G georgetown
Preparatory School, 1949-53.
He then was assigned to the
parish ministry, going to Holy
Trinity Church in 1853 as a
parish priest.
No particular occasion de-
termined Father Gamers de-
cision to become a priest but
his regular service as an altar
boy at st. Aloysius Church re-
suited in the Washington-born
youth deciding to enter the
priesthood.
The 7O-year-old Jesuit re-
members the Nations Capital
in 1918 as a pretty slow
town" He recalled the sensa-
ton a Stanley steamer auto
mobile made as the first car
to come down X street, stop
ping at the water trough at
North Capitol and X streets
for much-needed water.
1--WE used to skate around
Washington as there was very
little traffic and skating
around the streets was easy"
Father Garner reminisced.
"Gonzaga then had about rs
to 80 students, and as a result
we got a double dose Of work.
The classes were small and
the teachers were on top Of us
all the time"
The priest would not ex-
press a preference for either
teaching or parish work, de-
claring each had its interest
and rewards.
''But in parish work you do
not have to worry bout
teachers" he explained. "The
parish ministry is less hectic
but equally important. l am
being kept busy doing convert
instruction work, and enjoy
that hugely"
A parish reception honoring
Father Garner will be held
Immediately following tn e
mass tomorrow in the high
school hail Of Holy Trinity
Church.
On November II at IL noon
Father Garner will be cele-
brant at the mass marking
the closing of st. Aloysius
School after a long and honor
able history.

There's more than meets the
immediate eye in the fOrthcom-
ing power tug-of-war for Nv"
vacancies on the inflre7'i-l
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
Basically it shapes up as
liberal-conservative contest with
Reps. Ross Bass of Tennessee
and Pat Jenning of Virginia in
the one camp and Georgia's Rep.
Phil Landrum ON the other.
With the matter to be settled
in Democratic caucus, surface
indications are the liberals hold
the balance and could put both
their men in. That would be to
the administration advantage
on questions of the tax legisla-
ton, medicare and similar pro-
posals due to come before Ways
and Means.
On the other hand is the fact
that Landrum is now a high
ranking member of the Educa-
ton and Labor Committee and
would move into even greater
influence there if Chairman
Adam should resign from Con-
gress as rumor says he might
Organized labor and some 9TH
ers in the liberal camp would
not be adverse TO seeing a
switch of assignments where the
Georgian is concerned.
There is also the possibility
that Administration for
might be willing to see Landrum
60 on Ways and Means if they
could in the process pick up
some votes from his hackers for
the move to continue the Is
member makeup of the Rules
Committee, a tussle coming up
at about the same time.
The whole thing is still with
in the realm of speculation, ad-
mittedly, but the factors involv-
ed keep it from being a clear
cut question.

News Notes

WASHINGTON, D. c. - The
Kennedy Administration, which
drew a blank from the last Con-
gress on federal aid to educa-
ton. will give it a whirl in the
next one with the hope of scor-
ing a little better.
A tip-off on that has already
been provided by newly-appoint-
ted U. s. Commissioner of Edu-
cation Francis Keppel.
In his first press conference
after assuming office Keppel
was very careful to point out
his own theory that across-the-
board federal aid to private and
oarochial schools is unconstitu-
tional, and that such general
assistance should be limited to
public elementary and second
airy schools
The former dean of Harvard's
Graduate School of Education
went on to say he sees only a
fairly narrow" range of special
purpose aid as perrHissable to
church-related schools, with a
wider area of flexibility exist,
ing on federal help to private
colleges.
Not surprisingly. this position
is precisely that taken by the
White House over the past two
years on the subject
In advance of public COM
ments, Administration sources
had indicated that his views
would be given considerable
weight in the formulation Of
any future school aid legislation.
While coming out with moth
ing in the way of new legisla-
ton on the subject, Kennedy
forces did make some progress
this past year. They CO. differ
ing versions of aid to colleges
through both the House and the
Senate
The bill never came out in fl
nal form. however. stalling in
the House Rules Committee de-
spite the packing" procedure
which provided the Administra-
ton with a built-in vote margin
which was supposed TO prevent
that sort of stalemate.
In one sense the fight might
be even a little tougher this
time. School aid forces will be
without the quiet but potent
push of Rep. Cleveland Bailey,
the crusty chairman of the gen.
eral education subcOmmit G
He was an election casualty, a
happenstance which he explain
ed to friends afterward with the
grunted comment Il just didn't
get enough votes"
Bailey wasn't one to advocate
federal help on the basis of so
much per student regardless OF
a need, but he was an ardent
advocate of the aid prinoi0le,
and as such will be missed in
the coming battle.

NThe proposal was made pub
lie by management Of the three
carriers jointly after an eight
month study.
The announcement seid that
under the plan there would be
an exchange of .7l8 Of ar au-
thorized but unissued common
share Of Union Pacific for each
common share Of Rock Island.
Union Pacific, with head
quarters in New York, has al
most 22.5 million shares out
standing and Rock Island has
nearly 3 million.
II the merger is completed,
the Southern Pacific would ac-
quire the Rock Island lines
south and southwest Of Kansas
City at a price to be determined
by engineering studies now
under way.
The three rails declined to
speculate on the time 1t will
take to obtain the necessary
approval Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The plan
will be submitted TO directors
Of the companies shortly and
soon thereafter to stockholders
Of the Union Pacific and Rock
