Series of Dramatic Votes Break Ecumenical Council Stalemate By LOUIS CASSPi s VATICAN CITY (UPI) -A series of dramatic votes the past week broke a stalemate at the Ecumenical Council and lifted the spirits of bishops who seek far-reaching reforms in the Ro man Catholic Church. Protestant observers, -pprais-ing the impact of council ac tions on the Christian unity movement, also were encour aged by the week's work. But some of them privately voiced concern about the extreme closeness of one key vote on a document about the Virgin Mary. By far the most significant ac tion taken by council fathers was their overwhelming en dorsement of a theological doc trine which is referred to in council jargon as "The Collegi ality of Bishops." This doctrine asserts that all validly consecrated bishops are members of a sacred body or "college" which has inherited the duties and powers which Christ entrusted to the original 12 Apostles. The Pope is head of the College of Bishops. The bishops have no authority to act apart from, or in opposition to, the Pope. But when they act in union with him, they share with him "full and supreme authority over the universal church." Important Development Bishop John J. Wright, of Pittsburgh, U. S. member of the council's theological commis sion, said the fathers' endorse ment of the "Collegiality" prin ciple, by more than a two thirds majority, was a "tremen dously important" development. Another prominent Catholic theologian said the effect will be to "convert the Catholic Church from a monarchy into an oli garchy." The Rev. Dr. Robert McAfee Brown, professor of religion at Stanford University and an of ficial Presbyterian observer at the Council, said the vote will be "very encouraging" to many Protestants who seek Christian unity. "It makes clear," said Dr. Brown, "that the Catholic Church is not committed to an extreme, one-sided monarchial view of the papacy, as the last Ecumenical Council (in 1870) had seemed to indicate." It was the 1870 Council which proclaimed the dogma of papal infallibility. This week the fathers began debate on another document which gives practical expression to the decentralization of author ity implied by the "Collegility" doctrine. Controversy Expected This new document, which is likely to generate sharp contro versy, asserts that bishops COFFEE AT BAMBY'S AT THE BIG Y FRIDAY, SAT. and SUN. with Insulation and Weather We carry a large selection to us today.

It would authorize na tional Episcopal conferences, representing the Catholic heir archies of individual countries, to decide for themselves many questions which now must be referred to Rome. Last week's closest vote was on a seemingly-innocuous pro cedural question: Where to place a discussion of Catholic beliefs about the Virgin Mary. By a margin of only 40 votes out of more than 2,100 cast, the Council decreed that the Marian statement be included as one chapter of a pending document on the church, rather than han dled as a separate "schema" or theological document. The vote aroused very strong feelings. Some bishops felt that Mary ought to have a whole document to herself, and that giving her any less than that might seem to reflect a cooling of Catholic devotion to her. Other bishops said it was not a question of minimizing Mary's importance, but of placing her in the context of the whole church. Protestants Concerned Protestant observers followed this tense debate with particular concern. They feared that a sep arate schema on Mary might become a vehicle for new defi nitions or elaborations of Cath olic beliefs about the Mother of Jesus beliefs which already go far beyond anything that Prot estants feel they can accept. Altnough the Council voted against a separate schema, the narrowness of the majority left some Protestant observers ap prehensive about the kind of Marian statement that will eventually emerge from the Council. One thing seems clear: Coun cil leaders do not intend to stir up this particular hornet's nest again at the present session. The Theological Commission is charged with drafting a chapter on Mary for Council debate, and informants say that it will pur sue this task quite deliberately, so that there is no likelihood of a document reaching the floor S TAR -By CLAY Your Dotty According To develop message for Saturday, read words corresponding to numbers of your Zodiac birth sign.

Wafkim r tliUr Trll.a. tyMlem. nil Brave Hunters Home With Beara From Zoo There they were, in the flesh, alive and very much bigger than many childish minds had pic tured them Papa Bear, Mam ma Bear, and a fully grown "Baby Bear." The human small fry, those in the arms of a par ent, and those moving under their own power, barely noticed the concrete floor, or the bars of the cage; they only saw the bears. Probably they wondered where the porridge bowls were, or wished they could see inside the sleeping den at the "big bed, the medium sized bed, and the baby bed," where Mamma, Papa, and baby slept. Just as well that most of the thousands of children that visit ed the zoo never realized that the bear family had to be re placed from time to time, or that the curator of the exhibi tion tried always to have at least one baby bear every year. Can Gain Space In some cases baby animals are bought. At the same time available space can be gained by selling or otherwise dispos ing of large animals for smaller ones. Such was the situation when three adult bears that had lived for several years in a large city zoo, had to be disposed of to make room for some baby bears that were promised for the fol lowing spring. At the time, the market on adult bears, and over age ones at that, was "pretty soft." Neither did any other zoo want them. So the city made a deal with woodsman to take the three adult bears in trade for four or five cub bears that were to be born during the coming win ter, or as soon as they and their respective mothers emerged from their winter quarters. ut course, human nature be ing what it is, the profit anle rears its everpresent head, in dealings with bears, adults, or cubs, the same as it operates with nearly everything else, and the woodsman insisted on ac quiring the adult bears in the late fall; just at the advent of the deer hunting season. Bears Butchered The zoo was closed, while the woodsman butchered the three bears, and hauled them away to his northern camp. They were huge bears, fat from years of easy living, larger by far than any of their wild cousins of the north woods. The hunting season opened, thousands of hunters shouldered their guns and invaded the north woods. Days later they began the homeward trip, some with deer, a few with a bear, most empty-handed. The three large bears that had lived so long in city zoo, were hung on a heavy pole beside the highway. Hunters stopped, admired the great beasts. Deals were made between the old woodsman and the empty handed hunters; for a consider ation a bear carcass would change hands, be placed on a car's front fender. Financially poorer, but puffed with false pride, the "hunter" drove proud ly home. Friends and relatives stopped to gape and admire at the "brave hunter that had bagged a bear." Probably the man had his picture taken. No one noticed the absence of claws on the dead bear's feet, worn down by years of walking on hard ce ment; no one noticed because the man occupied the center of the stage in the picture, repeat ing parrot-like the familiar words, "I shot him just as he was about to attack me. Birch Society Members Fined TORRANCE, Calif. (UPI)-A municipal court judge, terming the behavior of three John Birch Society members convict ed of breaking up a civil rights meeting as adult delinquency," Thursday fined each of the de fendants $225. Judge William B. Keene sus pended iO-day jail sentences for the three, but placed them on probation for two years as a result of the heckling Incident that broke up a civil rights meeting in this Los Angeles sub urb Aug. 17. The three men John Rea of Rolling Hills Estates, Robert Cadle of Torrance and Jacob M. Sacks of Palos Verdes Es tateshad pleaded guilty to charges of disturbing the peace, They denied the controversial Birch Society had anything to do with the demonstration. In passing sentence, Judge Keene told the men their con duct "violates every basic pre cept of freedom of speech." ABSENTEE VOTE SOUGHT WASHINGTON (UPI) The Defense Department is organiz ing a campaign to get out a big absentee vote for the 1964 presidential election. TRIBUNE.

Walker concluded his introduc tory remarks by observ ing, "You have all been giving your attention to turkey stuffed with sage.

Distributed by Klnf Features Syndicate V "? J. SOLID SIGNAL OF UPTURN We now have the first solid dollars-and-cents signal that the current 33-month-old business upturn will continue well into 1964. The signal lies in this one ready plan a 4 per cent hike and equipment in 1964 to a record This 4 per cent rise, revealed today in McGraw-Hill's fall survey of business investment graph a boom Immediately ahead. Rathei, if the spending increase actually turns out to be only this modest In 1964, it will help hold the over-all economic expansion to moderate proportions. As will be outlined suasive reasons for believing that will raise their sights on this power to the 1964 upturn. Why, you well might ask, so important to the speed and It's so important, first, because this type of spending not only directly creates jobs but it also reflects business confi dence in future sales and profits. All you need do is look at one of the new factories being built around you to see how this construction gobbles up basic materials, employs workers, helps all businessmen patronized by these workers. To put it with exaggerated simplicity, a dollar spent by a corporation on a new factory has a much faster and bigger Impact on our economy than a dollar spent by you on a haircut. It's so Important, second, the foundation for long-term Corporations investing in new plants and equipment are able to cut costs and heiehten the efficiency (productivity) of their workers. Their more productive plants permit them (o boost) their profits or pay higher wages or both. Their more effi- i -.- .!. .1 .- l -...lit.. f lhU cieni lactones permit uiem products or reduce prices or both. It's so important, third, because this type of spending on modern, cost-cutting plants will make our corporations more competitive in the markets of the world. Any spur to our export trade is a plus factor for for us. In view of the all-time high profits U.S. corporations are making now and the major incentives they have been given to invest in plants and equipment, the 4 per cent rise does seem disappointing. But it's an excellent guess that this percentage will be in creased perceptibly by the spring of 1964 and here are two items in the McGraw-Hill survey Indicating why. Item: This is onlv the start of the corporation budget season and if the past is any guide, the tendency of many company managements will be to boost these preliminary projections later. Only a half-year ago. the steel industry expected Its spending III 1964 would be 11 per cent below 1963. Now, this Industry is planning a spectacular 50 per cent Increase In its capital investments. Only six months ago, manu facturers as a whole said they tvnuld spend In 1964 exactly the same amount they are spending in 1963. Now manu facturers expect to Increase their investment by a hefty 8 per cent meaning that, for the first time, manufac turing companies in 1964 will Invest a bigger total than during their record capital spending spree of 1957. As of today the railroads say their spending will drop 14 per cent in 1964. Signs that a shortage of freight cars Is develop ing could switch this minus into a plus in the months ahead. Hem: None of the projections was made on the basis of a tax cut an exceedingly crucial point, for this suggests the high probability that spending plans will be raised when the tax cut goes through. Underlining this is the fact that many companies told McGraw-Hill they would spend more if the economy is stimulated by a tax cut. Business spending is not going to be a drag on the economy in 1964, as some have feared. It will be a sturdy prop. It could become a major stimulant if tax reduction encourages corpora tions to raise their investment sights from modest to strong as 1964 progresses.
