Catholics Use Birth Control Says Notre Dame Study
Two sociologists told Notre Dame's population symposium that a majority of Catholic wives aged 18 to 39 interviewed for a national study use artificial birth control methods. Based on 5,600 hour long interviews across the nation, 53 percent of Catholic respondents reported current use, up from 30 percent in 1955 and 38 percent in 1960. Among regularly attending Catholics the rate was 44 percent, rising from 22 percent in 1955 and 31 percent in 1960. The researchers note growing oral contraceptive use and partial church acceptance as factors, while noting a general decline in birth rates and later family formation. Dr. Reuben Hill urged looking to the family for population trends.

Officials said Viet Nam buildup reduced active Army training needs for early 1967, enabling faster processing and earlier service for new six month enlistees.
