Pope Paul Man Os Many Complexities

EDITORS NOTE: Following is the first of a three-part series on Pope Paul VI, the man and his origin, his policies and what his pontificate may hold for both the Catholic and nonCatholic world. POPE PAUL VI By United Press International His strength of mind and character can be seen in his eyes. It is in his dark blue eyes, deeply set and piercing, that you see the courage and cool intellect of Pope VI, who otherwise gives the appearance of frailness. Giovanni Battista Montini is a man of many Complexities. He has been described as a “liber4r v in church circles, but there are overtones of traditionalism and a trace of the authoritarian air of the late Pope Pius XII. At times he is blunt. -but in his writing and speeches he can be as complex and circumspect as Pius, who often took 10 pages to express painfully what others might say in a few paragraphs. Pope Paul’s life has been dedicated to keeping Catholicism in step with a swiftly changing world. Supports Jahn's Moves He firmly supported his predecessor’s moves towards bringing the church in line with the space age. And now asuming the throne of St. Peter as the 262nd Pope. ,he has vowed to continue the forward-looking policies of John XXIII: the aims of the Ecumenical Council and its aspirations of Christian unity, and giving the church a focal role in securing a just world peace. Pope Paul VI is no orator who appeals to the emotions of his listeners, but a speaker whose words are to be closely studied. Even with the working men of his bustling Milan archdiocese this method of communication was fruitful. Montini, as archbishop of Milan for about nine years, devoted a good portion j>f his time to battling the inroads of communism. To do this he went to factories, shops, wherever

Shape Liberal Outlook The new pontiff's background, the progressive Catholic atmosphere he grew up in, and his days in the Vatican secretariat of state, shaped his “liberal” out. look to matters of the world and the church. Montini’s father. Giorgio, was' a crusading lawyer and journalist who-4° r years was the leader of the r . Catholic party in the northern city of Brescia, a deputy in the Italian Parliament, and manager Os Brescia’s Catholic newspaper, “11 Cittadino” (The Citizen). Giorgio Montini and his wife.- Giuditta Alghisi. died in 1943. Giovanni Battista is the second of three brothers—all successful in the walks of life they chose, and all still living. One is a surgeon. the other a senator in the Italian Parliament. The new Pope was born Sept. 26, "1897, at Concesio, a little village of about 7.000 persons, five miles north of Brescia and some 60 'miles from the metropolis of Milan. Taught By Jesuits His early schooling was with Jesuit priests in Brescia, first at the “Cesare Ariel” college then at the “Cristo Re” (Christ the King 1 seminary. Teachers later described him as “a well balanced boy, determined and very intelligent.” A prodigious reader, he amazed friends when he was appointed archbishop of Milan in 1954 after serving 30 years in the Vatican secretariat of state by taking 90 packing cass full of personal books with him to the northern Italian city. He thrived in the intellectual atmosphere of the secretariat, and was one of the top aides to Pope Pius Xll—a man who was cautious about delegating authority. During his tenure with the secretariat of state, and later as archbishop of Milan, Montini waged constant battle against the atheistic doctrine of Marxismcommunism. He is certain to con-' tinue this course as pontiff.

sniper slaying of Evers, who state field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Beckwith was arrested by the FBI last Saturday night at his attorney’s office in Greenwood on a federal warrant. He had been held since early Sunday as a federal prisoner. Beckwith, a salesman for a Greenwood fertilizer firm, was arrested after the FBI said a fingerprint found on a rifle believed used to kill Evers matched one of his. A telescopic sight of Japanese make which was attached to the rifle also was traced to Beckwith. Several hours after the murder, the rifle, a World War I Enfield, was found in a honeysuckle thicket in a vacant lot across from Evers’ home. ‘ J Band Parents Sponsor Barbecue On July 4 The Decatur high school BandParents Association is .sponsoring a chicken barbecus Thursday, July 4, Mrs. Kenneth Singleton, president, reminded local residents today. g| Feature of the holiday“arbecue will be a band concert The affair will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sunset Park, southeast of Decatur on U.S. 33.

State Construction Work Is Reviewed INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The State Construction Projects Study Committee held a day-long meeting Monday and heard a top government official warn a section in new pre-qualification requirements might be subject to political abuse. James Berg, deputy commissioner of the Indiana Department of Administration, made the comment 1 about the provision, which applied to contractors, architects and engineers doing state business. The committee reviewed the status of state construction work and the reasons for delays, and discussed a draft of pre-qualifica-1 tion requirements. The 1963 Legislature directed such requirements be established. Indiana state architect Edwin Gibson, who prepared the first draft, using qualifications required of state highway construction project bidders, was directed to have a new draft ready for the committee at its July 15 meeting. Sections of the draft allowed deduction of 25 points, with 100 given each potential contractor or others doing state construction and deductions made for deficiencies, for “attitude” toward the Depart- 1 ment of Administration. Berg said' that “gives a guy in my position a lot of latitude.’’ Berg said “we don’t care if you like us; just get the building done on time.” He noted the other three provisions for deduction of points were one which could be determined ifpartially but that the “attitude” requirement involved a personal opinion on the part of the persons holding his job. The draft called for a maximum of 60 points to be deducted for failure to qualify on the grounds of organization, personnel and construction experience, 50 points for failure to meet requirements on previous contracts, and 20 points for condition ad * adequacy f equipmet. ~ ■ Corwin Geyer, executive secretary for an association of mechanical contractors, said the “attitude” provision was “a matter of concern for my group.” However he suggested the proviso probably was meant to mean cooperation with the state. State Rep. Maurice Goodnight, R-Lafayette, chairman of the committee, said the pre-qualification application form would be discussed again at the next meeting but probably would not- be given final approval until August.

400 U.S. Pilgrims Received By Pope VATICAN CITY (UPI) — Pope Paul VI today asked 400 pilgrims from Philadelphia to carry his blessing to all U.S. Catholics and his “greetings” to non-Catholics. The pontiff received the pilgrims in the Vatican's ornate Consist6rial Hall in a 15-minute audience and addressed the group in English. He assured the visitors that a solemn beatification ceremony for 19th century , Philadelphia Bishop John N. Neumann would be held “as soon as possible,” but did not mention a date,. The original purpose of the Philadelphia pilgrimage had been to attend the beatification, which .had been scheduled for June 23 in St. Peter’s. The rite was automatically canceled because of the death of Pope John XXIII and a new date still has to be set. Vatican sources said the Pope told the group that he had twice visited the United States. He sent “his blessing to all U.S. Catholics and his greetings to non-Catho-lics,’’ they said. He also gave a special blessing to all those present and to their families. The Pope was also preparing for his coronation, an audience for President Kennedy and matters left unfinished at the death of Pope John XXIII. The Pope’s coronation will take place Sunday afternoon in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. His audience for President Kennedy will come the next day, and will be the first meeting between the new pontiff and a chief of state. Asks Simplification Os Tax Regulations WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) backtracked today on some of its expense account requirements, but the relaxation was not enough to quell a revolt by some businessmen. ~ Thomas W. Power, counsel for the National Restaurant Association, said the regulations were still too complicated to be understood by the average businessman. He urged Congress to step in and simplify them. The IRS Monday published its second batch of rules describing l the travel and entertainment charges that the taxpayer can decoct under a recent law allowing pew ..expense account requirements. ~ The rules permit taxpayers more deductions for using such facilities as couptry clubs, hunting lodges and yachts. They also were generally liberal in interpreting the taxpayer's right to spend for the sake of business. The regulations also allow the taxpayer to take his business prospects nightclubbing or to the theater under certain circumstances. He even is permitted to bring wives along and charge it off on his income tax. However, Power said that even the liberalization would not halt the loss of business which he claimed ■ was being experienced by restaurants because expense account executives are afraid to spend. “These standards are so complex that even the relaxation will be missed by the majority of the public,” he said in an interview. Hie new expense account regulations are for the current tax year. However, the IRS indicated they would not be strictly enforce until after July 31 to give taxpayers some time to get acquainted with them.
