Turning to Pope John’s work for social justice and peace, Msgr. Del Ton said that peace was the untiring work of Pope John." To Pope John himself, he said; "Farewell, Holy Father, farewell forever. May your so journ be in Sion and your house in the eternal Jerusalem. May perpetual light shine upon you and may you enjoy the bliss of true peace without end. Fare well, farewell forever.” At the end of the eulogy five cardinals—Francis Cardi nal Spellman, Archbishop of New York; Stefan Cardinal Wy- szynski, Primate of Poland; Achille Cardinal Lienart, Arch bishop of Lille, France; Pao lo Cardinal Giobbe, Apostolic Datary; and Cardinal Tisserant gave a ceremonial absolution, walking around the tall cata falque, sprinking it with holy water. The cardinals then left the basilica and the nine-day ser ies of funeral Masses was over. The entire ceremony lasted two hours. Among the mourners were the Russian Orthodox Patriar chate's two observers at the Vatican council, Bishop Vla dimir Kotliarov, who presented the patriarchate at the World Council of Churches in Geneva; and Archpriest Vitali Borovy, professor at. the Theological Academy of Leningrad; and a third representative, Father Nikolai Afinogenov, permanenf delegate of the Moscow patri archate in the Geneva Secre tariat of the World Council of Churches. The Pope’s family was re presented by his brother, Giuseppe; his nephew, Msgr. Giambattista Roncalli, and two nieces who are nuns. After the Mass, a large pro portion of the few who were allowed access to the crypt knelt before Pope John’s tomb. Along with the elaborate wreaths of flowers left by re presentative of nations were small posies of carnations and even flowers o f the fields ran ged in neat rows before the tomb.

Tieketa Available All Ovar Town ror Information Ceil RU-im NEW YORK, June 13 (NC)— A leading figure in the comic book industry said here that self-regulation by book and magazine publishers is essen tial to protect young people from objectionable material. John L. Goldwater, president of the Comics Magazine Asso ciation of America, told the CMAA ninth annual meeting that Supreme Court rulings have "removed many of the govern mental restraints that were en forced upon the contents of mass media.” "TODAY, except where sheer obscenity is involved, there can be no legal regulation except voluntary self- regulation," Goldwater said (June 11). "In rightfully removing go vernmental censorship, he said, "the court has in effect imposed a greater degree of personal responsibility upon those who produce mass media, especially those who are engag ed in publishing and distribut ing literature directed to young people. "If our youth is to be protect ed from the type of material which would be harmful to their morals and proper develop ment, it can be accomplished only through a media self-regu- SUBSCRIBE TO THE GEORGIA BULLETIN *5.00 PER YEAR Mail to P. O. Box 11667 Northside Station Atlanta 5, Georgia Name Address City St a t lation program such as ours." GOLDWATER pointed to the CMAA code for comic book publishers as a model of media self-regulation. He expressed alarm, however, that a grow ing number of publishers do not belong to the association and said a "considerable number" of comics published by non members appear on newsstands without the code authority's seal of approval. "We cannot, under the cir cumstances, provide the public protection against the infiltra tion of objectionable material in comics magazines on an in dustry-wide basis," he said. MRS. GUY Percy Trulock, administrator of the comics code, told the meeting that in her contacts with various or ganizations she has found "deep concern with the pornographic: literature, together with girlie books, that is flooding the news stands today." She added that comic books bearing the code seal of ap proval receive "no adverse cri ticism." News Head Retiring WASHINGTON, (NC)—Frank A. Hall, K.C.S.G., has announced that he will retire as director of the Press Department of the National Catholic Welfare Con ference and of the N.C.W.C. News Service shortly In view of the fact that March, 1964, will mark the 40th anniversary of his joining the N.C.W.C. Press Department staff. Hall has directed the N.C. W.C, News Serivice, which is issued by the N.C.W.C. Press Department, for 30 years. This has been the period of its great est development. Founded only a dozen years before he took charge, it was designed to serve the Catholic newspaperpress of the United States. Today it ser ves all of the English-Langu age Catholic newspaper press in the U, S., Canada, England, Ireland, Australia and New Zea land, and some 500 other pub lications in a total of 65 coun tries. THE many advances and de velopments in the department during Hall's three decades of directorship have included the founding of a feature service and the inauguration of Notl- cias Catolicas, a news service in Spanish and Portugese which serves publications throughout Latin America and elsewhere. STUDENTS FROM three Atlanta high schools, Drexel, St. Pius X. and Marist, recently attended a session of the Summer School of Catholic Action at Hendersonville, N. C., June 9-14.

JUSTICE DOUGLAS’ OPIN ION: Justice William O. Douglas wrote a short separate con curring opinion in which he warned that there is a trend among American religious groups to seek state support for their activities. He said that he would add to the reasons given by the Court for finding the religious prac tices unconstitutional the fact that a certain amount of pub lic funds, however small, were thereby "being used to pro mote a religious exercise.” "Through the mechanism of the state, all of the people are being reqiured to finance a* religious exercise that only some of the people want, and that violates the sensibilities of others," he observed. "The most effective way to establish any institution is to finance it,” he declared, "and this truth is reflected in the appeals by church groups for public funds to finance their religious schools." "Financing a church either in its strictly religious activi ties or in its other activities is equally unconstitutional, as 1 understand the establishment clause,” Justice Douglas said. "Budgets for one activity may be technically separable from budgets for others,” he said, "but the institution is an in separable whole, a living or ganism, which is strengthened in proselytizing when it is strengthened in any department by contributions from other than its own members.” "Such contributions may not be made by the state even to a minor degree without violating the establishment clause,” Jus tice Douglas said. "Its not the amount of public funds expend ed, as this case illustrates, it is the use to which public funds are put, that is controlling,” "For the First Amendment does not say that some forms of establishment are allowed," he concluded. "It says 'no law re specting establishment of re ligion’ shall be made. Whatmay not be done directly may not be done indirectly lest the es tablishment clause becomes a mockery.” JUSTICE BRENNAN’S OPINION: In a 25,000-word separate opinion Justice Brennan gave his reasons for concurring with the Court’s opinion. "The principles which we re affirm and apply today can hard ly be thought novel or radical,” he said. "They are, in truth, as old as the republic itself." He concluded his opinion with a quotation from an essay on religious liberty written by a former chief justice of the Pen nsylvania State Supreme Court, Jeremiah S. Black, who in 1886 wrote: "The manifest object of the men who framed the institu tions of this country was to have a state without religion and a church without politics — that is to say, they meant that one should never be used as an en gine for any purpose of the other, and that no man's rights seem to have been percectly sincere in their belief that the members of the church would be more patriotic and the citi zens of the state more religious by keeping their respective functions entirely separate.” Justice Brennan's long opin ion contained quotations from virtually every case of signifi cance tried in the federal or state courts for 150 years re lating to the First Amendment. In 78 footnotes, he referred to more than 300 cases, indicat ing the extraordinarily care ful study which he gave to the issues involved. In the end, he voiced these conclusions: "The state must be stead fastly neutral in all matters of faith and neither favor nor in hibit religion. In my view, go vernment cannot sponsor reli gious exercises in the public schools without jeopardizing that neutrality. "On the other hand, hostili ty, not neutrality, would cha racterize the refusal to pro- WASHINGTON, D. C. (RNS) The American Jewish Congress voiced opposition here to federal funds for church- related colleges and universi ties as well as for elementary and high schools. "We see no distinction be tween a parochial school or an institution of higher learning if both are controlled and main tained by religious bodies," Leo Pfeffer, the AJC general coun sel, told the Senate Subcom mitted on Education. Immaculate Holds Election The Immaculate Conception Academy Home and School As sociation has elected its roster of officers for the 1963-1964 school year. Those elected are: Mr. Rodney Winters, President: Mrs, Frena Pampalon, Vice- President; Mrs. Vivian Johns, Secretary; Mrs. Ruth O’Brien, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Ag nes Grant, Corresponding Sec retary. The new officers of the As sociation will meet during the summer to plan an active pro gram for the coming school year. vide chaplains and places of worship for prisoners and sold iers cut off by the state from all civilian opportunities for public communion, or the with holding of draft exemptions for ministers and conscientious ob jectors, or the denial of tempo rary use of an empty public building to a congregation whose place of worship had been de stroyed by a fire or flood. "The finding of the Court to day plainly does not foreclose teaching about the Holy Scrip tures or about the differences between religious sects in clas ses in literature and history. Indeed, whether or not the Bible is specifically Involved, it would be impossible to teach meaningfully many subjects in the social sciences or the hu manities without some mention of religion. "To what extent and at what points in the curriculum reli gious materials should be cited are matters which the courts ought to entrust very largely to the experienced officials who superintend our nation's public schools. "We do not, however, in my opinion, usurp the jurisdiction of school administrators by holding, as we do, that morning devotional exercises in any form are Constitutionally in valid. There is no occasion now to go farther and anticipate pro blems we cannot judge with the material we have now before NEITHER has the right to claim public funds," he stres sed. Mr. Pfeffer said his organi zation's opposition to such aid is not based on hostility to re- lifion, but "because we see a grave danger to the indepen dence of our country’s religious institutions and a basic threat to American freedom in any plan that would breach the Church-State separation prin ciple by giving public funds to church-operated schools." The Jewish group, Mr. Pfef fer said, is opposed to federal aid to church schools because it would result in "fragmen tation of the public school sys tem" and would lead to govern ment control of religion. THE spokesman said the American Jewish Congress also rejects the argument by sup- porters of such aid that the cold war with the Communist camp necessitates the mobili zation of all the country’s re sources, Including church-re lated schools. "This is the most dangerous reason of all, for it holds that in time of war but even in time of pe*ce. M In Food WASHINGTON, D. C., (NC)— A priest close to the farm pro blem in this country said that the World Food Congress here has brought startling facts to light on the great amount of food this good Earth can pro duce. Msgr. Edward W. O’Rourke, of Des Moines, Iowa, executive director of the National Catho lic Rural Life Conference, was a member of the U. S. delega tion to the congress (June 4 to 18). Msgr. O’Rourke said (June 13) that speakers at the Con gress’ plenary sessions stress ed three themes: • The possibility of a vast in crease in food production. * • An appeal to spread the burden of aid programs among more nations. • A proposal to check popu lation growth in developing na tions. Secretary of Agriculture Or ville L. Freeman told the con gress that economists in the U. S. Department of Agriculture "have come up with the fore cast thaL.the developed coun tries of the world, by the year 2,000, would have a potential for food production at almost double the expected demand.” Gaston Pawleski, France’s Minister for Scientific Re search, Atomic and Space Af fairs, said: f "According to expert esti mates, the land presently under cultivation represents only one- half or according to some, only one-third,—of the world’s ar able land." Msgr. O'Rourke said that Possible Karl Gunner Myrdal, a lead ing Swedish economist and po litician, proposed spreading the burden of aid programs for de veloping countries among more nations. He quoted Myrdal as say ing: "There is no reason why aid in the form of food should be a burden only on the countries who happen to have food surpluses. It would be more reasonable if the costs were carried by all rich countries.” Myrdal proposed—as a rea sonable way to protect and pro mote production of food for ex port in developing countries— that a multilateral agency buy foods which developing nations produce in surplus, even if these foods are then given away as aid to other developing nations. "The need for a check on population growth in develop ing countries was the chief mat ter of an address by (British historian) Arnold Toynbee,” Msgr. O'Rourke said. "Less extensive and more moderate references to birth control were made by other speakers. But no speaker referred to specific means which might be used to check population growth, or to the moral implications that the problem involves.” Telling about the develop ment of the congress, Msgr, O’Rourke said: "By the end of the first week’s lectures and discussions, those taking part in the congress were becoming more and more aware that the congress’ stated goals did not include what most participants felt should be done." "We were reminded repeat edly that this was not a con gress to start programs of ac tion."
