and even discord among both laymen tors of West-Northwest Side parishes this week said they support John Cardinal Cody's plan to bus Catholic school ils i The Chicago Archbishop last week revealed plans to bus both Negro and white students in an effort to obtain a racial balance in the archdiocesan schools Cardinal Cody's busing plan follows closely on the heels of public school superintendent James Redmond's proposal to bus students from May and Spencer schools to relieve and stabilize the community At the time of his ment Cardinal Cody also called on Catholics to support mond's plan The cardinal's plan ing to archdiocesan school Bishop William McManus differs from the Redmond proposal in that it will be conducted on a tary basis When the Catholic bus gram is put into operation and that will not be at least until the next school year it will be tried only in areas where the people have expressed a desire for it The bishop went on to em- that great care will be taken to insure that Negro children will be welcomed in their new schools He said that children should not be subject to an inhospitable en- Bishop McManus said specific plans for busing of any pupils will not be revealed until the views of every school in the vast Chicago which includes not only Chicago but also Cook and part of Lake have been carefully gone over The overcrowding vs empty classroom phase of Redmond's busing plan does not appear to be an issue in the Catholic school proposal According to a church spokesman classroom size in most area parochial schools is about the same so the Catholic busing is more of an interchange of Negro and white pupils on an even basis to attain integration Locally pastors said that while they had heard some rumblings among parishioners by and large the people are accepting the Cardinal's Msgr Richard S Kelly tor of Our Lady Help of tians parish 832 N Leclaire revealed that at a meeting last week called shortly after dinal Cody made his an- there was a favorable attitude toward the plan I personally am ta com- plete accord with the Msgr Kelly said and from the results of that meeting with our people last week I can say that most of them agree The pastor went on to say that there undoubtedly will be controversy over the plan but I am hopeful that people will look in their hearts and realize that our Cardinal has the best interest of his flock in mind The Rev Raymond T McCarthy pastor of St Lucy church 440 N Mayfield said that at his church like all ers in the archdiocese the message Asking for port of the busing plan was read at all masses Father McCarthy agreed with other pastors that there will be much opposition to the but it also has many many and added that as it the Cardinal's plan stand it has its merits Msgr James Doyle 5062 Jackson pastor also foresaw ties arising from the al but added that personally I am in favor of the busing program While the majority of the churchmen seem to favor the proposal strong opposition to the Cody plan was voiced on the Northwest Side It was in this general area too where the most vocal attacks on mond's plan A protest march around dinal Cody's home was uled for yesterday Tuesday by the Kilboum association Northwest Polish and Taxpayers council and the Taxpayers of the Northwest Side Steven Tetow who heads TKO and the Polish Homeowners and Harry Kurh president of the TNS said members of groups agreed at a meeting last week to picket both the home and city hall Telow and Kurh said at a press conference Sunday that they held Cardinal Cody mond and Mayor Daley re- sponsible for all busing plans now under consideration They also attacked Daley for failing to take a stand on the issues There have been reports too that parishioners in some churches Sunday placed en- containing harsh and sometimes obscene notes to Cardinal Cody in the collection baskets It was also reported that numerous buttons and per clips were placed in the collection basket of one west Side church 4 Other rumors had it that parishioners most of them teenagers left mass when dinal Cody's busing was read from the pulpit
