CATHOLICS MEET:
May Bypass Marian Dogma
By The Associated Press1
VATICAN CITY - Indications1
are mounting that the Roman
Catholic "successors of the
apostles," meeting here today in
worldwide force, may bypass an
issue that could place a heavy
burden on future Catholic-Protes-
tant relations,
It is the proposal by a large seg-
ment of the Roman Catholic faith-
ful, particularly in Latin America
and southern Europe, to further
glorify the Virgin Mary by a new
dogma.,
The dogma would give Mary the
status of chief "mediatrix" and'
"co-redemptrix" with Christ. It
would title her as the mediator of
all graces extended by Christ. It1
would also credit her with having
a direct part in the redemption of
man.
an Movement Grows
A movement favoring definition
of such dogma has been growing
for decades. Supporters of the
movement were elated when Pope
Pius XII. defined the dogma -of.
the immaculate conception in
1950 the holy year, but expecta-
tions have continued to run high
for further Marian dogmas.
Protestants, w h i le honoring
Mary as the mother of Christ,
contend there is no basis in the
Bible to justify conferring on her
honors which they say are due
only to God.
The Orthodox Church also has
rejected the immaculate concep-
PANEL DISCUSSI(
Vaeati n
tion dogma as not being based on
holy scripture, and it would be
certain to oppose further Marian
dogmas.
Greeks Absent
In fact, the Greek Orthodox
prelates will not even attend the
meeting.
Many influential Catholic circles
have voiced reservations about the
timeliness of such dogma.
The "council fathers" came, as
Pope John says, to renew, reinvig-
orate and purify the church-and
begin a long labor towards Chris-
tian unity.
The Catholics' meeting is their
largest in modern times. It opens
today with pageantry and a fervent
prayer, "Come, Holy Spirit."

Deadlocked
Emergency Measure
Rejected by House
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Congression-
al action on several bills yester-
day raised hopes that Congress
may be able to adjourn tomorrow.
The major problem remaining is
the solution - of a deadlock over
the annual money bill for the Ag-
riculture Department. The dispute
concerns $25 million in research
items in the $5 billion measure
supported by the Senate but op-
posed by the House.
The House rejected a Senate res-
olution calling for emergency fi-
nancing for the department at
least until the next session with
a resounding vote of 241-1.
Infringes Rights
The representatives said the
Senate action "contravenes" the
Constitution and is "an infringe-
ment on the privileges of the
House to originate appropriations
bills."
President John F. Kennedy sign-
ed legislation tightening controls
on production and sales of pre-
scription drugs, with new powers
to inspect and control drug out-
put, and requirements that manu-
facturers prove the safety of their
products.
Kennedy also signed a bill tc
allow self-employed persons to set
up a tax-deductible pensions sys-
tem. The unexpected action came
a few hours before it would have
become law without his signature.
Other Bills
In other action, a $2 billion ap-
propriations bill including $10(
million to purchase United Nations
bonds was sent to the White House
after Senate and House approval.
The Senate also approved a
House-passed resolution to put
Congress firmly on record for any
action, including use of arms,
needed to defend Berlin.
Secretary Evaluates
U.S. Arms Strength
WASHINGTON )-Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said
last night that with this country's nuclear superiority "we have no
reason to fear the Soviet rocket rattlers."
He said a growing fleet of Polaris missile-firing submarines, more
than 100 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and hundreds of bombers
on ground alert provide enough nuclear muscle to deter the Russians
from launching an atomic attack.
However, McNamara noted that United States nuclear superior-
ity "did not deter the Coiimunist invasion of Korea nor the Com-
"munist drive for domination in
Southeast Asia."
Keep Strong
Thus, he said, the United States
{~>must maintain conventional and
Sother forces strong enough to deter
XYRed aggression in any form and
"if deterrence should be unsuccess-
ful, to stop that aggression dead
in its tracks."
In a speech prepared for the an-
nual dinner of the Association of
the United States Army, the de-
fense chief called it a paradox that
as weapons of mass destruction be-
come more powerful the role 'of
the army and combat soldiers "be-
comes not less but more impor-
tant."
McNamara said peaceful co-
existence, as espoused by Soviet
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, ac-
tually involves many levels of con-
flict "from agitation to assassina-
ROBERT S. McNAMARA tion, from trade fights to shooting
...modernize'the army fights."

DEAN UNCERTAIN:
Submit Rioting Evidence
To Mississippi Officials
OXFORD (M)-The Justice Department yesterday turned over to
University of Mississippi officials its case against some students al-
legedly involved in the Sept. 30 riot that killed two persons.
Dean of Students Leston L. Love declined comment on what ac-
tion would be taken.
Forces Reduced
Meanwhile, the Army reduced its forces to about 25 per cent of
their peak strength in the Oxford area as James H. Meredith began
his eighth day of classes without
incident. Robert J. Rosthal, depu-
ty chief of the Justice Depart-
ment's criminal section, said the
university was not being asked to
ON on - take any particular action against
students.
"We are turning this over to
them for their own best judgment,"
in Science he said. "We would hope the uni-
versity will make its own inquiry
and take appropriate action ..
Court Convenes
As the integration situation pro-
ceeded without violence, the Fifth
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals prepared to meet in New Or-
leans tomorrow to consider con-
tempt charges again.
The court last week held Missis-
sippi Gov. Ross Barnett and Lt.
E DISCUSSED: Gov. Paul B. Johnson Jr., in con-
tempt. It gave them until tomor-
row to show they were now com-
ns open to Chemistry, plying with the court's order that

HEALTH:
'To, Discuss
Insurance
LANSING (P) - Representatives
of a dozen Michigan insurance
companies, acting-with the encour-
agement of Insurance Commission-
er Sherwood Colburn, will meet to-
day at Battle Creek to discuss pos-
sible creation of a new insurance
plan for older persons.
Colburn said he was "somewhat
disappointed by the inaction of
Blue Cross-Blue Shield" since
their health insurance plan, which
would have increased rates for
senior citizens, was denied by the
state insurance commissioner.
Plans similar to the proposed
new program are in effect in Con-
necticut, New York and Massachu-
setts. Such a new plan would com-
pete with present Blue Crass-Blue
Shield insurance plans.

Refuses To .Pay
Telephone Tax
By The Associated Press
GROSSE POINTE PARK - A
housewife here is refusing to pay
the four per cent use tax on tele-
phones.
Mrs. Gloria J. Mead contends
that she wasn't represented in
Lansing when the tax passed July
1 (Sen. Harold M. Ryan had re-
signed to take a seat in Congress)
and also wonders, if the telephone
is neither a luxury nor a "sin,"
why it is placed under the Michi-
gan Public Service Commission.
A court suit involving the legal-
ity of the use tax could conceivably
arise from the hassle.

pected to be very effective," it was
announced yesterday.
