Ecumenical fathers greet
statements on religious
liberty, Jews with warmth
VATICAN CITY (UPI)-Ecu-menical
Council fathers gave
warm and prolonged applause
today to the presentation of
historic statements on Catholic
relations with Jews and on re
ligious liberty.
The statements declare that
Jews should not be made scape
goats for the crucifixion of
Christ and proclaim the right of
all men to the free exercise of
religion according to the dic
tates of conscience.
Although the statement on re
ligious liberty received t h e
greatest applause, the council
fathers gave close attention to
the presentation on the state
ment of Jews made by Augus
tin Cardinal Bea, head of the
secretariat for promoting Chris
tian unity.
The (ierman-born cardinal
paid the statement was a purely
religious matter and that there
was no question of the council
getting mixed up in difficult
Top Demos
see Florida
back in fold
MIAMI (UPl) - State Demo
cratic leaders, with one nota
ble exception, were in agree
ment today with President Ken
nedy's prediction that Florida
would return to the Democratic
fold in the 1964 presidential
election.
Top level Democrats pointed
to the enthusiastic receptions
given the President on his
whirlwind tour of Florida Mon
day to back up their optimism.
But Gov. Farris Bryant, who
also traveled with the Kennedy
party, was hesitant to say out
right that Florida would swing
back to the Democrats after
voting Republican in the last
three presidential elections.
"It's too early to say, or at
least for me to," Bryant said.
But he added he was encour
aged by Kennedy's reception in
Tampa and the Miami area.
The President was greeted, in
ideal weather, by relatively
large and friendly crowds.
Florida COP Chairman Tom
Brown of Tampa strongly dis
agreed with the President and
state Democrats.
"Mr. Kennedy is sadly mis
taken if he thinks the Demo
crats are going to carry Flor
ida," he said. "The Republi
cans will win again, and Mr.
Kennedy will lose by an even
bigger margin than he did in
1960 if Barry Goldwater gets
the nomination."
Among the crowd of 4.000
persons at Miami's Internation
al Airport were several men
waving "Goldwater for Presi
dent" signs. Taking note of the
hecklers, Kennedy said he had
been making "non-partisan"
speeches until then, "but I
come here as a Democrat and
express mvself as a Demo
crat." He praised his administra
tion's program and Florida's
progress under it and made the
prediction the state would vote
Democratic next year.
Farmers back
from session
Special to The Bulletin
FORT ROCK Central Ore
gon farmers returned the past
weekend from the tnree aay
session of the Oregon Associa
tion of Soil and Water Conser
vation Districts held at Grants
Pass.
Gunster Arends of Bend, a
supervisor of the Midstate Con
servation District, spoke to the
convention briefly about the
Bend public school's conserva
tion program at the elementary
level. He displayed several co
pies of the syllabus prepared
for use by teachers. Mr. and
Mrs. Ted Thorson, Redmond,
also attended the sessions.
Also stressing the need for
conservation education was Dr.
Elmo Stevenson, president of
Southern Oregon College, who
addressed the group at the No
vember 14 banquet. He noted
the absence of teacher train
ing In this area.
Representing the Fort Rock
Silver Lake Conservation Dis
trict were Mr. and Mrs. Bud
Parks and Everett Green. The
Parks placed third In the an
nual soil judging contest.
A convention highlight was
the annual speaking contest for
high school youths. The five fi
nalists represented 1390 students
who entered at the local level.
A trophy and a $50 savings bond
were awarded to Lois Hobson, a
senior at Merrill High School,
for her top performance. Don
ors were the J. R. Simplot Com
pany and the state association
of districts.
cult questions of Arab-Israel
politics.
Some Oriental council fathers
had objected Monday that the
special treatment of the Jews in
a document on Christian unity
could lead to the persecution of
Christian minorities in the Arab
world.
Cardinal Bea told council fath
ers that his secretariat has in
formed Arab states of the non
political nature of the proposed
statement.
The document is intended to
recall what the church of Christ
has received through the Old
Testament of the Hebrews and
that the church in modern times
is the continuation of the cho
sen people of Israel, Bea made
clear in his presentation.
Despite the cardinal's speech,
three more prelates today ob
jected to the inclusion of the
statement on the Jews in the
overall document on Christian
unity.
Emile Cardinal Legcr of Mon
treal, Canada, said both the
chapter on the Jews and that on
religious liberty should be de
creed as separate documents.
Bishop Emile De Smedt of
Bruges, Belgium, gave the pres
entation of the chapter on reli
gious liberty on behalf of Card
dinal Bea's secretariat.
His report was greeted with
what the official council spokes
man called "the longest, warm
est and most general applause
of this session."
Bishop De Smedt said the
proposed teaching on religious
liberty climaxed a doctrinal ev
olution on the dignity of the hu
man person and religious liberty
which reached its peak in rope
John's last encyclical "Pacem
in Terris" (Peace on Earth).
The religious liberty chapter,
prepared partly at the urging
of the American church hierar
chy, proclaims the right of in
dividuals to follow their con
sciences in religious matters
and to worship freely or refrain
from worship without govern
ment interference.
If approved, this would be the
first unequivocal Catholic state
ment of this view. The church
has traditionally held that "er
ror does not have the same
rights as truth," a position
which has sometimes been
interpreted as a denial of re
ligious liberty.
Higher ceiling
sought on debt
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
administration sent budget di
rector Kermit Gordon before the
Senate Finance Committee to
day in its drive to raise the
legal limit on the national debt
Gordon was slated to testify
on a House-passed measure that
would increase the present $309
billion temporary ceiling to $315
billion, starting Nov. 30 and ex
tending through next June 29.
If the measure isn't enacted
by Nov. 30, the debt limit will
drop back to its permanent lev
el of $285 billion. This would
create an embarrassing situa
tion for the government which
has been showing a debt bal
ance of about $307 billion.
During Monday's hearing at
which Treasury Secretary Doug
las Dillon tesiified, Senate Re
publican Leader Everett M.
Dirksen questioned the practi
cality of the permanent debt
limit which, he said, "actually
is something of a semantic illu
sion" under present fiscal condi
tions. The Illinois senator said that
the "temporary" limit remind
ed him of a character in a play
an uncle who "came to visit
his family for a weekend and
stayed 17 years."
Dillon, in reponsc to question
ing, testified that the federal
budget probably could not be
balanced until fiscal 1967 or
1968, so the Treasury could not
hope to shave much off the pub
lic debt before then.
Dirksen said that even if the
budget were balanced at that
time, it seemed unlikely that
the debt would revert to the
$285 billion in less than 25 or
30 years.

Rockefeller says he's 'more encouraged'
than ever that he'll win GOP nomination
WASHINGTON (L'PI) - New
York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller
wound up a support-seeking
visit to the nation's capital to
day on an optimistic note. He
said he was "more encouraged
than ever that he would win the
1964 GOP presidential nomina
tion. Rockefeller, the only an
nounced Republican presidential
candidate admitted, however,
that he is running behind Sen.
Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz..
but he expressed "no doubt"
that he would overtake Goldwa
ter in the months ahead.
The New York governor met
with a number of GOP senators
during his visit. Sources said he
attempted to discount reports
that he was in the presidential
race merely to stop Goldwater
and make way for a third can
didate. Rockefeller was said to
have emphasized to party lead
ers that he is in the race for
keeps.
Rockefeller was accompanied
by his bride since May, Mar
garetta (Happy) Rockefeller,
who described the capital visit
as her "most exciting" since
her last one a wartime trip
when she pedaled to the city on
her bicycle from an aunt's home
in nearby Arlington, Va. It
was Rockefeller's first Washing
ton visit since announcing his
candidacy.
Rockefeller, often holding
hands with Happy, met groups
of tourists and congressional
employes during a three-hour,

Search made for victims of Aflanfi'c City bldze
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI)
A huge construction crane
pushed aside the rubble of the
Surfside Hotel today in a search
for the remaining 16 victims of
Monday's pre-dawn fire which
killed 25 elderly guests.
Police officials called rela
tives of the victims to a meet
ing this afternoon to inform
them of what they have found
in the rubble. They hoped the
meeting would help relatives in
identifying the bodies.
Seven bodies and part of an
eighth already have been re
moved from the smouldering
debris of the tragic fire and an
other person died in a hospital
from injuries.
Del. Capt. Albert Wilson, in
charge of search operations,
called off the hunt late Monday
night because the rubble of the
Surfside Hotel, where the vic
tims were trapped, was "too
hot in the center, too smoky
and it was too dark.
A three-man FBI team has
arrived here to help identify
the bodies which may prove
difficult if not impossible in
some cases.
Many Buildings Damaged
The spreading fire, with
flames that soared 200 feel, de
stroyed four other hotels and
damaged four additional guest
houses which housed no resi
dents other than token main
tenance staffs.
Milton Rauer, 48, Hie owner
of the Surfside, six of his rela
tives, eight gnosis and three
employes made their way out

the flames erupted about 4:30
a.m. ( EST),
Fifly-six pieces of fire equip
ment and more than 450 fire
fighters, including those from
nearby communities, battled the
flames but for the most part all
they could do was watch help

City Commissioner Meredith
Kerstetter, director of public
safety in charge of police and
fire operations said Monday
that the Surfside "was routine
