West German Church Problems Included Refugees, Schools BONN, Germany (NC) The refugee problem and the school questions were among the foremost concerns of the Catholic Church in West Germany during 1952, ac cording to observers here. The problem posed by the con stant influx of thousands of refu gees into West Germany is one of providing for their physical and spiritual needs and helping them build a new future. The school question centers about the issue whether there should be Christian confessional schools or only community schools supervised by the State. A move ment to abolish the traditional con fessional schools caused particular concern for the Church in lower Silesia. Both Archbishop W e n e 11 n Rauch of reiburc and Bishop Karl 1 eiprecht of Rotlenburg felt con strained to issue pastorals setting forth the rights ot parents to have their Catholic schools Archbishop Aloisius J. Muench Papal Nuncio to Germany and Bishop of Cargo, N D., pointed out that the elimina tion of the Church’s schools would constitute a violation of Concordat with the Holy See. The spiritual picture of Germany as a whole was best given in the joint pastoral of the German Bish ops issued after their Fulda meet ing this fall. The Bishops pointed to a mass turning away from God in Ger many, a low standard of morality (Continued from Page 1) them you are in a position to offer to your people and your govern ment the social teaching of the Church. It is based on social jus tice. on the duty of each to the community, and of the community to each its goal is peace in the social order, a composing of con flicting interests, so that the hum blest in the nation may have at least what is sufficient its strength is in its uncompromising rever ence for the honor and natural rights of every human being.” Assembled on the 17-acre Her bert Grounds, mam site of the cel ebrations, the great gathering of Catholics, which included more than a thousand priests and nuns, heard the Pope declare that “the Church belongs to the East as well as to the West.” "It it hardly nacattary," he said, “to remind you that the Catholic Church demand* of no one to give up one'* native way* and cu*tomt, force* no one to adopt foreign way* of living. The Church be long* to the East at well at to the West. She it bounden to no par ticular culture, the it at home with all who respect the command* of God." “There may be among you dif ferences of rile and other outward practices and manner of living,” Pope Pius continued, “hut you all profess the same Faith you are all brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, all children of the same you arc all equally members ot the great Catholic family, and through grace dwelling in your soul are already citizens ot heaven In this union and concord is your strength” Hope For 1953 Radio Theme NEW YORK, N.

These dark spots in the picture are somewhat counterbalanced, the Bishops noted, by a frequent recep tion of the Sacraments by Catho lics. a widespread reconstruction of churches, and a strong desire by Catholics, even lapsed ones, to pro vide their children with a Catholic education. The sharp division of Germany into east and west zones still caus es the Church deep regret. The Church regards the impressive demonstration of unity between east and west German Catholics during the Katholikentag (Catho lics Day) in Berlin as all too brief. o. ...... Eisenhower To Visit Georgetown On Inauguration WASHINGTON (NC) Dwight D. Eisenhower will become the first President of the United States to visit a university cam pus on his inauguration day, when on January 20 he comes to George town University. The occasion will be the Presi dent's attendance at one of the two parties which will be held simultaneously as the “Inaugural Ball,” Although Mr. Eisenhower’s will be the first presidential inaugural visit to the Georgetown campus, he will not be the first president to be entertained at the University.

(John 16, 33). Urging these persecuted people to persevere in prayer, the Pope told them not to be downhearted but mindful of the spirit of then forbears who had won through con tinuing their supplications to Our Ixird and Our Heavenly Mother. The Pope added “Pray too that all may finally understand certain truths which arc in fact clearn than the light of the sun that the Church does not seek temporal power but the eternal salvation ol souls, that she dm" not conspire against the gov erning authorities but by means ot the Gospel learnings, which are capable oi forming first-class citi zens she strengthens the very foundations of human society.” --O».... .... ....■■■■ R«-«olul ion Mourn* Death Of Sen.

When President Truman was inaugurated in Janu ary 1949. it did not represent a change of administration, for he was succeeding himself. President Eisenhower .-, inauguration will be the first inauguration ol a really new administration on the new date. It will be the first test of whether one parly can get ready and smoothly take over from an other party the time between early November and January. Washington will not be too much changed. There will be a consider able number of new faces, and one will hear new' names as persons who, while not in the Government, have influence with it. A number of long familiar tacos will be gone. Probably more of them will be around. Washington is still the Capital of the United States, and Ihe hub of the world. Many a pol itician and former officeholder will prefer to 'ivc here, even though “out" ol power. President Eisenhower and his party will assume an enormous burden. The people must not aban don them to it. Public officials need not only the encouragement and support of the people they need to receive constant guidance as to the will of the people.

Over the years, the Catholic opposition frequently was voiced in statements of the Bishops and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. The commission’s report, a 316 page volume called “Whom We Shall W’elcome” after a quotation from one of George Washington’s writings, was submitted to Presi dent Truman after the commission had conducted public hearings in 11 principal cities and had heard testimony from 634 witnesses. In addition to the voluminous report, the commission also issued a 2,089 page volume as a record of the hearings. The seven-man commission rec ommends generally that the Mc Carran-Walter act should be “re considered and revised from be ginning to end.” Senator Pat McCarren of Ne vada and Rep. Francis E.

The commission's report on the quota system states that the na tional origins quota system should be abolished there should be a unified quota system which would allocate visas without regard to na tional origin, race, creed or color that the maximum annual quota immigration should be one-sixth of one per cent of the U.S. popula tion, as determined by the most recent census, and that under the 1950 census, quota immigration should be open to 251.162 immi grants annually instead of the 154.657 authorized at present. The report recommended that all immigration and naturalization functions now carried in the De partments of State and Justice should be consolidated into a new agency, to be headed by a Commis sion on Immigration and Naturali zation whose members should be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Commission recommended that for the next three years, with in the maximum annual quota, there should be statutory priority for the annual admission of 100,000 refugees, expellees, displaced per sons and escapees from commun ism.
