another form of pressure the Moscow correspondent for the Paris newspaper Figaro was sent home not because of what he had written but be cause of what his newspaper had published Removal of direct

reporters ln Mos cow could wrlte freely about touchy subjects such as inter nal politics and relations with Peking Censorship was still in force for Soviet reporters and those from Communist bloc countries The Soviet press re mained under tight control There was no direct censor ship of foreign newspaper men in Hungary but they could be expelled if they displeased the gnvemmcnt Poland

up which finds expression not only in governmental actions and In the controlled press but in the worried public attitude toward Americans The last is hard to document but ordinary Rus sians themselves now say that the trouble with the United States is deeper seated than they behaved even few months ago Antagonism toward Ameri cans ia slowly increasing But again this is sensed by Amet

when he talked openly about the crimes of the late pre mier Stalin Many Russians somehow felt it was somebody else not Stalin who was killing all thnse people To lay the murders at the door of man so long held up as major national hero has causedshock We talk about that lot now said one Russian who conceded the Russians dont even trust each other One thing persists The over age Russian feels that

is being advocated in some quarters of the justice depart ment The aim is to make more use of the indefinite sentence and thus break the vicious circle in which scares of hardened crim inals have become notorious re peaters in prison serving rel atively short sentences nndthen committing another crime It is argued here that the in definite imprisonment of such men subject to annual review for parole would give society more protection ltlwould be squarely up to the convict either to change his ways or perhaps spendthe rest of his life in custody This is daring arglmlent Many lawyers and

awaited government guidebook on how to survive nuclear war through fallout sheltersappclrs to have left large segment of the American public fm trnted and unhappy Critics maintain that after amusing the country to the needof protection against possible holocaust President Kennedy has presented tho pub lie with dull uninspired as semblage of old information useless to those who live In potential bombblast areas clergyman says the bongo booklet on fallout protection fails to dramatize tho horror of nuclear war newspaper says the booklet language lacks sense of urgency And scion tist adds the flvemegotunbomb example used in the booklet is unrealistic since Russia maln tnlns it has for bigger ones on Its arsenal one of the sure things of 1962 says the crystalgazing Balti more Sun is that masses of Americans are not going to storm post offices demanding their copy of the booklet The Sun says Kennedy must have concluded nuclear war Is not Imminent FEELS ADEQUATE In contrast the federal clvll defence office which is dis tributing 25000000 copies of the booklet feels the case for the fallout shelter has bcen som brely and adequately stated it confirms that on earlicr draft written by team of profcs sinnal writers had been ditched because it was too vivid but It denies the pamphlet is in any way designed to replace anxiety by complacency The trouble says one of flclnl is that many pcopla think fallout is the same no bombblast If nuclear bomb hits your area directly all can say ls Pray We thought we made this clear in the guide where we said the areas of blast and fire we would be scenes of havoc dov utation and ninth and that the experience would he terrible geyood imagination and dump on we used the flvornegston bomb equivalent to 50000 tons of TNT an illustration because this Is the kind of weapon that might be used We know Russia fier bomb of about 55 mcgntons and that it claims to have bomb of NO megstons but thcro is no proof Russia can fire sucb bombs across oceans Perhaps the greatest frustra tlonto the individual any liv lng in Washington New York Chicago or other major target area is that the booklet vir tually writes off tho bombblast area as complete human loss REJECTS EVACUATION It dismisses evacuation as taking too long emphaslxcs there is little likelihood that pill or any other type of med icine will be developed to pro tect people against fallout radic tinn and gives no evaluation of whether deep heavily rcinA forced ground shelters could mitigate the impact of direct hit Rather li concentrates on areas which would not be hit but might suffer from tho don ger of fallout drifting from tho devastated area it recommends community shcltcra where pos sible conceding that In rural areas family shelters may be the only fenslblo solution If war ever comes and sth iers are provided the individual will know Bread is still edible even when mouldy suur milk is drinkable Fruits and vegetables with rotton spots cut out are safe to out if they have been exposed to fallout wipe wash and peel them disposing of washwater and pcclings out side the shelter If it ever comes down to It animal pet food can be eaten by humans without harmin an emergency Quebec Takes Look At Church And State MONTREAL CPI Quebec intellectuals are taking new look at the problem of reader ing unto God and unto Caesar In book on church stale relations LEgUse et Is Quebec tlbe Church and Quebec eight contributors find that Quebecs solution needs to be modified and adapted to radically changed situation The contributors all Roman Catholics are three priests four professors and lawyer They are in broad agreement that the role of the civil power in the two centuries since the British conquest has been mndest one After the conquest the French Canadian people found themselves without secu lar institutions of any kind ex cept those of an alien power It fell to the Roman Catholic church to build the necessary framework in oil the broad do mains of social and economic activity SEEK NEW LINE They note however that se cular institutions notably the Quebec government have since been born and matured As result people were looking to day for the proper dividing line between the duties and preroga tives of the church and of the civil power or more precisely since Quebec is overwhelmingly ofitbe Roman Catholic faith between those of the clergy and of the laity LEgilse et Is Quebec is the work of eight men who pre sented papers at the 1961 con ference of lInstitut Canadian des Affaires Publlques in Ste Adele Que Theme of the con ference was the churchs role in French Canadian society The contributors are Rev Vln cent Harvey and Rev Gilles Belanger of the University of Montreal Abbe Louis ONeill of Laval professors Vianney De carie and Bertrand Rioux of lhe University of Montreal Fer nand Dumont of Laval and Laurier LaPIerra of McGlil and Montreal lawyer Marc Lalondan tightening up the has been carried Minister Fulton There has been no indication of his or the gov ernments views however and observers say it is unlikely any changes will be proposed to the new session of Parliament The statistical story During the year ended March 31 1960 latest for which figures are available 3403 persons were sent to penitentiary and 1525 of them had been there at least three times before Forty of those personsone of thema womanhad more than 20 previous convictions Meatynine others hpd it to20 previous convictions total of 140 had been in custody ii to times before and 490 had six to 10 previous committals Yet nono of these criminals over had been convicted or oven tried its habitual crim lnal charge whicb carries penalty of preventiVe detention ln effect life imprisonment noblest to reform gt Prof Rioux says the church although officially from the state in Quebec has been led by history and cleri cal ideoingy Into exercising an camnous responsibility fortbc functioning of all social struc tures such as those of educa tion lobar public welfare and the cooperative movement TOO FEW LAYMEN The real significance of the current anti clericailsm he says is not that it wants to des troy anything but that it wants to put some vitality into Que becs whole scheme of social or ganization The clergy dis tracted by too many mundane tasks had been hampered in their spiritual mission of saving souls and too few laymen had been prepared to take their place in doing the work of this world Prof Decarle says the tradi tional philosophy of education in Quebec has insisted upon the rights of parents and the church to the exclusion of those of the state even to the point of op posing the free education that only the state can underwrite People who the states action in introducing free education last year forgot he says that such education is part of the Catholic tradition The Third Lateran Council decreed in 1179 that the right to learn cannot be refused to anyone who is capable of being taught Prof Decarie says much of the difficulty in education is be ing caused by the lingering ac tion that the replacement of the clergy as teachers and admin istrators means Catholic values will no longer exercise any in fluence or inspiration CARDINALS SUPPORT This notion has been repudi ated nevertheless byno less figure than Paul Emile Car dinal Leger under whose re form minded leadership the clerical character of tho social structure In being moderated and tho lalty is beginning to come into ltl own The cardinal in his rocenlly published Pastoral Reflections on our Education wrote that to reduce the church to its bishops and priests alone to bo Iieve that it Is necessary to wear the cassock or some other ecclesiastical vestrnant to be partofthochurcblsto weaken the church and to mis understand its dimensions Loy men are also the church Abbe ONeill says it is ele mentnry realism for the state to take into account the position of the Catholic church particu larly if the church occupies an important place among the people as whole That is why in place like Quebec where the church is everywhere and plays predominant role in the life of society it would be un realistic to want the politicians to act as if they were unaware of it or to consider it as just one religious group among others NO EASY FORMULA Arrangements between the church and the civil power however were usually com promises in constant need of readjustment do not he lleve that any Ideal formula ex ists These arrangements had to vary according to the country its circumstances and themon tality oi thepeople Thus the case of Spain cannot be that of the United States Abbe ONeill says the churchs right of intervention in tem poral affairs to protect spiritual and moral values does not mean that the clergy should run tem poral institutions The penerra tion of these values into the life of society is normally accom plished by laymen acting as Christians foithtdmotrmony hashemmnctvod ED
