Catholic Ban On Cremation Eased VATICAN CITY (UPI) — The Vatican today made public an order greatly relaxing the Catholic ban on cremtion. Tbe new provisions, which actually were distributed to the church hierarchy more than a year ago, open the way for cremation when not motivated by “hate against the Catholic religion or against the church.” The order provides that there is no such motivation unless it is specifically proven. Under the old rules set by canon law, it was the opposite. If yon have something to sell er trade — nse the Democrat Want ado — They get BIG reunite.

Barry Attacks Pres. Johnson In Ohio Tour MARIETTA, Ohio (UPI — Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater brought his whistle-stop campaign' train into Ohio today and attacked President Johnson as “the chief enemy of the Social Security system today.” ’■ In the first back - platform speech from his 17 - car campaign train, Goldwater also wrapped himself In the mantle of the late Robert A. Taft, former Ohio senator who was , “Mr. Republican” for many in the GOP. Introduced by Robert Taft Jr., GOP candidate for the Senate, Goldwater described the former senator as “one of my best friends,” and said they worked closely together in the Senate. Goldwater spoke under sodden skies which opened into a gentle rain while he was speaking. A crowd estimated by police at 5,000 to 7,000 stood in the rain to listen. Goldwater complained that he has been unable to debate campaign issues with the President. He said Johnson leaves to dedicate a dam whenever he rasies a campaign question. “If Khruschev ever called him on the hot line, all he’d get would be a beagle,” Goldwater said. Cites Security Record Goldwater prefaced his comments on the Social Security system by saying that he wanted to combat what he called "the power to distort.” He said he has voted for every proposal to improve the Social Security system and against measures which would harm it. To say that he is against Social Security, Goldwater said, is one of the bigger “political lies.” In another facet of his remarks, Goldwater also criticized President Johnson’s responseto the recent FBI reports on big 'city riots and pledged that he would muster the full persuasive powers of the presidency to combat that problem. Goldwater referred to an FBI report, compiled at Johnson’s order and made public last weekend, on riots in several cities, both North and South. The FBI said it had found no common pattern or racial source for the disturbances. Speaking of Johnson’s response to the report, Goldwater said: “Simply suggesting that a conference of law enforcement officials be held at some future ‘appropriate time’ is not enough. Take Immediate Action "If Lyndon Johnson will not take adequate steps to bring the full persuasive powers of the presidency to bear upon this problem,' I can pledge to you that, as president and vice presidept, Bill Miller and I TnO» in a good town — Deoatur.
