J Vol. XXXV Mundelein College, Chicago 26, 111., Feb. 10, 1965 Douglas Discusses Aid to Education by Sylvia Hajek News Conference Experts Illuminate World Situation During the opening panel of the Seventh World Affairs Conference for College Editors, professional communicators encouraged young journalists to be involved in the news and to avoid pseudo-sophisti cation and cynicism. But the warn ing was academic since the 250 college journalists could not spend four days meeting world leaders and hierarchy of communications media without being deeply af fected. The four-day New York meeting attended by feature editor Sylvia Hajek, reporter-photographer Di ane Sargol and Mary Etta Talarico, Skyscraper editor, was sponsored by the Overseas Press Club, the U.S. Student Press Association and NSA in cooperation with Columbia University under a grant from the Reader's Digest Foundation. It clarified several snarled interna tional issues: United States-Soviet relations will not be the hub of world affairs during the next decades because of the emergence of China and other powers. The delinquent payment issues and withdrawal of Indonesia from the United Nations are not consid ered threats to the existence of the UN. The NATO alliance is in a pe riod of change which should not be interpreted as the preliminary col lapse of the organization. Economics will exert nearly as much influence as political ideology in future Western European politi cal relations. These conclusions emerged from speeches, panels and press briefings at the Overseas Press Club, Colum bia University and the United Na tions by more than 50 experts in cluding UN General Assembly President, Alex Quaison-Sackey, Ambassador Yost of the Ameri can Mission to the UN, Am bassador Sing of the permanent Indian Mission to the UN, the UN Press Bureau chief, Barrett Mc- Gurn of the Netv York Herald Tribune editorial board, Harrison Salisbury, a New York Times man aging editor, Emanual Freedman, assistant Netv York Times manag ing editor, Sidney Gruson, New York Times foreign editor, syndi cated columnist Marguerite Hig gins, Marvin Kalb of CBS, John Gerassi of Newsweek magazine and Paul Hoffman, New York Times foreign correspondent. In a speech at the Overseas Press Club, Harrison Salisbury, Moscow correspondent for more than 20 years and noted authority on Rus sia, proposed that journalists chal lenge the unchallengeable in re porting and interpreting world news. He cited as an example of change in what had been thought unchangeable the fact that Russia by Mary Etta Talarico no longer lives under the Stalinist- type regime considered by most be fore 1954 the only system which would survive in the USSR. Salisbury also asserted that U.S. foreign policy will be weighted toward relations with China and developing nations rather than with Russia in future decades. He is convinced that China will emerge in the dual balance of power be cause of its ascendancy prompted by two twentieth century events, the defeat of Russia by Japan in 1905 symbolizing the defeat of Eu rope by Asia and the explosion of a Chinese nuclear device in Octo ber, 1964. General Assembly President Quaison-Sackey admits that the In donesian withdrawal has sharp ened the dues problem currently before the United Nations but in sists that this will not be a signal for more resignations because the UN is too valuable to member nations. President Quaison-Sackey num bered disarmament, development and decolonization as the three ma jor concerns of the UN. He feels that emerging nations have devel oped because of the aid and at tention focused on them by other nations through the UN as well as by their own efforts. The dues controversy, according to President Quaison-Sackey, in volves the refusal of 16 of the 114 member countries to pay assess ments for peace-keeping opera tions, notably those in the Congo. The United States and other na tions argue that the delinquent nations should lose their UN votes as prescribed by Article 19 of the Charter which states that members owing the equivalent of two years' dues shall lose their votes. Russia, France and others insist they should not be made to pay because they opposed peace-making operations. President Quaison-Sackey traced the problem in part to the evolu tion of UN functions. In 1945, he said, when the United Nations was set up, to keep peace by mo bilizing the great powers to pre vent aggression, it was not envi sioned that a nation might ever call in UN troops to keep peace. In closing remarks, the General Assembly president said May I leave you with this thought: we are all very young, and therefore, must (Continued on Page 3) Seated in his Washington office, surrounded by symbols of his ca reers as former university professor and present United States senator, Paul H. Douglas held an exclusive interview with Skyscraper report ers Diane Sargol and Sylvia Hajek. He referred to his bound volume of the American constitution to docu ment his remarks concerning the rights and obligations of the fed eral government in the field of edu cation and on the question of presi dential succession. We try to avoid central dic tation, Senator Douglas said as he explained that most fed eral aid programs are oriented to enable recipient colleges to decide how federal funds are to be spent. Recipients are se lected on the bases of academic excellence and location. We try to achieve a good geo graphical balance, he said. Although he is a strong believer in the separation of church and state, Senator Douglas firmly sup ports the provisions of the Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963 which enable parochial and private colleges as well as state universi ties to receive federal assistance. Aid is given to colleges for non- philosophical and non-theological subjects, he said. There is no Protestant math or Catholic form of math. We may extend this principle on the secondary and ele mentary levels provided it pertains to no theological subject. A former professor of eco nomics at the University of Chicago, Senator Douglas be lieves that some individuals profit more from work. Work is education too. Our schools should not become compulsory jails. For these reasons he Father Clark Accepts Pastorate At Our Lady Gate of Heaven Reverend William Clark, of the theology department, has been ap pointed pastor of Our Lady Gate of Heaven parish on Chicago's south side, ending a 12-year career at Mundelein. Father has also been an assistant at St. Jerome's. He assumes his pastorate this week. Father Clark's field of instruc- dents or in Lewis Center playing bridge with the card-sharks. As pastor of Our Lady Gate of Heaven, Father plans to initiate a Parish Council of the laity to dis cuss problems and decide parish issues. One special committee will be on ecumenism. This commit tee will represent the parish in any inter-faith activities, Father said. His major efforts will be devoted toward establishing a good litur gical life in the parish. There will be great emphasis on the new lit urgy, Father stressed, and I plan popular theology classes for those with or without faith. is opposed to raising the age at which students may with draw from school from 16 to 18. This proposal, he said, is good only if education from 16 to 18 can be adapted for per sons whose talents require manual training. Concerning the problem of presi dential succession, still menacingly prominent in light of the events of Nov. 22, 1963, Senator Douglas said, The first problem is filling the office of vice president. Until 1947, cabinet officers, beginning with the secretary of state, formed the line of succession. Senator Douglas is opposed to this, a situa tion he refers to as the adminis trative state, because many cab inet secretaries couldn't be elected dog catcher. The present line of succes sion places the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate before the cabinet officers. This system can be disadvantageous if the Speaker of the House is of a different political party than the president. Even a man within the party may not carry on the president's program, said Senator Douglas. In light of the numerous vacan cies that have occurred in the of fice of the vice president during the history of the American nation and the instances of severe disa bility during the administrations of Presidents Garfield, Wilson and Eisenhower, Senator Douglas sup ports a constitutional amendment proposed by Senator Birch Bayh. The amendment calls for a presidential nomination of a vice president should the office ever become vacant. The new vice president would assume his duties upon confirmation by a majority of both houses of Congress. In the case of presi dential disability, the vice president would become acting president upon the written dec laration of the president con cerning his inability to dis charge his powers. If the president would not so declare, the vice president, with the written concurrence of a ma jority of the heads of the exe cutive departments, would as sume the duties of acting president.
