MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MESfORB,
Birth Control
Views Told by
Roman Catholics
New York - IUPI) - The Plan
ned Parenthood Federation of
America says a number of
prominent Roman Catholics
who adhere to their church's
opposition to birth control be
lieve that non-Catholics should
be able to do as they please
about contraception.
The federation announced
the results of a poll of 166
signers of a statement on re
ligious liberty who on Oct,
6 announced their support of
a broad policy of religious
freedom.
; Several questions were sub'
mitted to the 166 on Oct. 7,
By Oct. 27, replies had been
received from 79 of them
Freedom of Conscience
As broken down, 47 of the
79 said that "non-Catholic
doctors and laymen should
have equal freedom of con
science and action concerning
birth control."
In answer to another ques
tion, 40 agreed that "public
officials should respect such
freedom of religious belief in
policies affecting medical in
stitutions." Eleven persons did not spe
cifically state their views on
these two points but instead
stated their vigorous opposi
tion to restrictive legislation
on birth control, such as the
present laws in Connecticut
and Massachusetts.
A total of 87 of the signers
of the original Catholic state
ment - 52.4 per cent - did
not reply to the planned par
enthood poll.
Permission to Quote
In a press release, the asso
ciation said it had been given
permission to quote from re
plies sent In by some respond
ents. One of them, Clare
Booth Luce, former ambassa
dor to Italy, said that "the
private practice of birth con
trol is of course a matter of
individual conscience."
Sen. Thomas Dodd (D
Conn.) said that "government
should not legislate concern
ing so private and personal
a matter as birth control prac
' ticcs. This is a matter of pri
vate conscience and religious
conviction which should be
approached through persua
sion rather than compulsion."
Proxmire Urges
Broader Nuclear
Arms Agreement
Washington - IUPII - Sen.
William Proxmire (D Wis.)
says that America must make
a nuclear arms agreement a
greater objective in foreign
policy because 10 to 20 na
tions are likely to have nu
clear weapons within four
years.
He said that Sen. John F.
Kennedy fully undprstood the
urgency of the need and
would use the full powers of
his office as president to
achieve such an International
pact.
Process Developed
Proxmire said that West
Germany already has devel
oped a revolutionary new
process for separating fission
able uranium which requires
far less cost than "our enor
mous gaseous diffusion
plants."
Several countries are nego
tiating with West Germany
for patents to use tills process,
he said.
"Time is now clearly on the
side of a fantastically destruc
tive war in view of this vast
breakthrough in cheapening
the cost of producing those
infinitely destructive wenp
ons," Proxmire said.
He also said, "The time for
s stand-pat, we're doing fine,
wait-and-see attitude by our
Blate department has gone."
Proxmire expressed h i s
views In a speech prepared
for the annual conference of
the Jewish National Fund
council In Los Angeles.
He said the election of Ken
nedy would bring:
-"A rapid and immediate
build-up In American military
strength as the prime pre
requisite on which any effec
tive negotiation must rely.
Determined Effort
-"A final, determined effort
to persuade the Russians to
agree to workable, inspection
enforced suspension of nu
clear testing.
-"An invitation to leading
nations having an Industrial
capacity for production of nu
clear weapons to a conference
to seek and - if possible -agree
upon means of Interna
tional control of both the pro
duction and use of weapon
grade fissionable material and
also the production of nuclear
weapons.
-"The creation of a peace
agency in our government to
mobilize the greatest possible
competence to solve the im
mense problems involved in
meeting the complex prob
lems of arms control."
White pelicans are one of
the largest American birds.
Their wingspread is nine feet.
