Although demands for liberalization of the churches policy have grown steadily in recent years the Popes decision to continue the past policy had been predicted and was generally expected. The Popes decision rejects the View of the majority of the 75-member commission he appointed to advise him on birth control policy. The majority recommended in june 1966 that the ban on contraception be eased and the Pope named an other commission to investigate some More. The Popes conservative con delusion is expected to touch off a new explosion of worldwide controversy among catholics and non catholics. Surveys and reports from priests show that millions of Catholic couples already use the Pill and other birth control devices. Many prominent theolo Gians have insisted that despite any stand the Pope takes birth control remains a matter of personal Choice for each couple. In the non Catholic world there is enormous pressure for catholicism the worlds largest Christian Faith to Sanction birth control As a Means of easing the population explosion in starving parts of tile world.

Panel on disorders goes out of business Washington apr the National advisory commission on civil disorders went out of business today one year several Hundred thousand words and $1.5 million after president Johnson created it. Sniper fire still whined in the streets of Detroit on july 29, 1967 when Johnson convened the 11-member commission at the White House and charged it with trying to learn a what happened what can be done to prevent it from happening again and again a the commission headed by former Illinois gov. Otto Kerner and representing nearly All the colors of the political spectrum issued its first report last March. Another report was released Over the weekend and said new studies show rioters to be representative of Urban negro youth and not just a Riff Raff and criminals. The report also said that 18 per cent of ghetto residents take part in riots a far larger percentage than originally estimated. The latest report expected to be the last bearing the commission Seal was a compilation of three studies by separate groups. It was issued without comment. The original report ran some 240.000 words and was the work of 150 full time paid staffers As Well As the la commissioned members. A staff aide said sunday that approximately $1.5 million was spent on the report which concluded that America was moving toward two societies one Black and one White. The report called for a massive program to provide housing education and jobs for the nations negroes. The report sparked almost immediate controversy. Former vice president Richard m. Nixon said it placed undue emphasis on the role of White racists while All but ignoring the guilt of rioters. Vice president Hubert h. Humphrey said the report a was open to president Johnson had told the commission when he created it a sometimes various administrations have set up commissions that were expected to put the stamp of approval on what the administration already believed. This is not such a when the report came out Johnson termed it a a thorough and a a exhaustive but declined to respond to numerous Calls for a major presidential endorsement that might Spur Congress to Quick reaction. Legislation was introduced in both the House and Senate embodying most of the report commendations. But there been no action on any of it and none is Likely in this session. A in my judgment the principal reason for the absence of any action rests with the Congress of the United stat new York mayor John Lind vice chairman of the commission has said. The report issued the past weekend was describes As a supplement to the earlier report. A staff aide said the commission has contracted for studies by various agencies and that other reports will come out in the future but probably won t be officially labelled As a prod us a of the riot commission.

Nobody could put a Finger or it specifically but there was i growing feeling among Early arriving delegates for next week convention that Rockefeller with an expensive expansive publicity Campaign had stirred up enough doubt about Nixon ability to win in november there was no Clear certainty ii Nixon a nomination. In tile minds of Soin of the party Stop strategists however this did t necessarily add up to a Rockefeller Victory.

Hugh Scott rpt. Rockefeller partisan said ii thought the new York governor was making a significant gain a in his Uphill Battle against Nixon.

A the one Clear impression i get in talking to arriving Dele. Gates is that the Buncom netted people Are going to stay that Way for a while to take a look at what a going on and until they can decide which Man is most Likely to win in november a Markham said.
