FULDA, West Germany il'PL Pope John Paul II today issued a scathing condemnation of modern materialism and said it robs humanity ol dignity and encourages artificial birth control.

Mankind needs more than mere technical perfection Humanity cannot be substituted by mechanisms and administrative systems, he told Roman Catholics in a nation renowned for its technical proficiency and material wealth. The pontiff then warned Catholic lay workers they had the duty to guard against the corrosive aspect of modern society that "increasingly menaces the dignity of man, that of men in the future, of the elderly, the sick and incurable and even the transmission of life. John Paul's reference to the threatened "transmission of life" was his first direct mention of the subject of birth control during his five-day tour of West Germany, The pope took up the subject again during an outdoor mass in front of Fuldas baroque cathedral, where more than 80,000 worshippers gathered in the sunshine, the first since the Pope arrived in West Germany. When the right to life and ethical principles of the truly human culture are threatened. he told the worshippers.

You must protect the rights and dignity of mankind." The pope has not belabored the issue of birth control during his visit, even though West German Cardinal Josef Hoeffner told him Monday the nation was producing more coffins than cradles because of the birth control pills and abortion. The subject of birth control was discussed extensively last month at the world synod of Roman Catholic bishops at the Vatican during which the prelates reaffirmed their backing of the 12-year-old church ban on artifical contraception. But the pope's main emphasis on the next to the last day of his seven-city trip was the danger to religious belief and human dignity posed by the materialism of advanced societes. When consumption and pure enjoyment and fear of the limits of growth determine the mood in society," he told West Germany's catholics, You must develop a new life style and humane conditions of life that bear witness to the hope Christ gives you. When people, especially young people, ask about the meaning of life, you must give them a convincing answer." he said Tfifr'pope was to visit briefly In the Bavarian village of Altoettmg today before traveling to Munich, the final stop on his five-day, seven city visit to West Germany, before returning to Rome Wednesday.

"This spontaneous dialogue clearly demonslrated the willingness, the openness and the intentions of the pope," said Lutheran spokesman Dietrich Saltier, after the pontiff told Lutheran leaders Monday that the Roman Catholic church shares the blame for the centuries-old schism betw een the churches. "What he said was not completely new, but it's important for us that he said it here, to us directly. He has changed the climate. He has shown a natural, eeumencial attitude," said Saltier. Immediately after the meeting, the Lutherans said they had agreed to set up a joint commission to study the possibilities of Christian unity In West Germany, which is 49 percent Protestant and 44 percent Catholic.

Roman Catholic officials described John Pauls meeting with the Lutherans in the Rhine city of Mainz, and the Protestant response as a new dimension In the Christianity of this country This new dimension is more than we could have expected. said bishop Paul Werner Scheele It is something human, not just something in documents The pope's Christian unity ef lort, carefully prepared before the start of his visit to West Germany, became the major theme Monday when he flew to the medieval Catholic center of Fulda. 50 miles south of Kassel, to meet con servalive Catholic bishops The West German Roman Catholic church hierarchy has been notably conservative In recent years under the leadership of Cardinal Hoeffner, and the pope encouraged it lo make the Christian unity cause its own during a prayer meeling in the seminary of Fulda You should take seriously the wish of Christ that all should tie one as a pressing command to overcome the divisions of Christianity, he told the bishops, adding that unity with Protestants was the pressing need of the hour John Paul also urged 5,000 young priest and seminarians to remain strong in their faith despite the problems posed by modern society and especially to honor their vow of celibacy Rep. Jenrette To Fight Expulsion Try Oman If ins Sex Harassment Case MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich lUPIi A Jury has awarded 1140.

Oftt to a woman wo says she was fired by Ford Motor Co. six years ago because she resisted her foreman's sexual advances A Macomb County Circuit Court Jury of three men and three women Monday found the company and foreman David Festlon guilty of sexual harassment, but it didn't specify what portion of the $140,000 award each should pay. The suit was filed by Fayette Sale, 26, of Mount Clemens, who testified that Festion, 39, made sexual advances at her dally while she worked at Ford's Utica Trim Plant in 1974. Festion denied the charges and said Mrs. Sale was fired 39 days after starting work because she was not doing the Job expected of her." Mrs.

Nale, 21 and a newlywed when she was hired at the Utica plant, was rehired after she filed suit but was laid off last January. She testified in the three-week trial before Judge Raymond Cashen that Festion promised her easy work in exchange for sexual favors. Mr. Festion would put me back on an easier Job and would then come up to me and remind me that if I cooperated, 1 could stay on the easier job, she testified. The Jury deliberated less than six hours before announcing Its verdict.

A court clerk said one of the women Jurors had voted agaiast a guilty verdict. A first trial in the case was declared a mistrial last August when Mrs. Nales husband, a former hospital emergency room employee, gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a Juror who suffered a heart attack in court. Presiding Judge Edward J. Gallagher agreed with Ford attorneys that the first aid incident could have prejudiced the Jury in favor of Mrs.

Naie. r-, Farm In com To Rise WASHINGTON (UPI) Government economists predict net farm income will rise 23 percent next year and agricultural exports will rise 20 percent. That Increase in farm Income would be equal to the percentage decline in farm income from last year to this year, while the value of farm exports would set another record for the 12th consecutive year. Agriculture Department economists said Monday they based their farm income forecast on projected higher farm prices, lower interest rates and a decline in the rate of increase in production expenses. Farm prices are up because of smaller drought-stressed crops and expectations of strong export demand.

The department forecast farm income at $27 billion to $32 billion for calendar year 1981. The middle number of that range, $29.5 billion, is 23 percent greater than $24 billion, the middle number of a 1980 farm income forecast of $23 billion to $25 billion. Also, $24 billion Is 23 percent smaller than net farm income of $31 billion in 1979. The 1979 figure was the highest amount since net farm income reached a record $33.3 billion in 1973. Economists said farm exports for fiscal 1981, which began Oct.

1, may rise to $48.5 billion, up from a record $40.5 billion last fiscal year. Export volume is expected to set a record 170 million tons, up 6 million tons from last fiscal year. Exports of feed grains, wheat and rice are expected to rise, while exports of soybeans, cotton, tobacco and vegetable oil are expected to fall.

Trouble broke out in Salonica as about 1,500 demonstrators marched through the city center shouting anti-government slogans in a sequel to Sunday's protest in Athens commemorating a 1973 student revolt that ultimately led to the downfall of the government of the day.

She and her husband James were eating oysters at a dinner party hen Mrs Doughten bit into something hard. Out came the first pearl Then second.

Then a third, and on until there were 12 of them on Mrs Doughten's napkin Jimmy jdgins, host of the party, maintained he didn't plant the pearls, but said he'd bought the oysters in Oyster, Va "I had always heard of finding your fortune in an oyster.

But Snelling appears to have convinced the federalist tide to run in his direction. He said he has received significant assurances" from Reagan transition team member Drew Lewis hat Reagan will make federalism a primary objective of the new administration.

Snelling has also written the Republican governors resolution on federalism. Nationally, federalism reform has become a popular objective. The theme of the four day Republican conference is "The Rebirth of Federalism and the National Governors Association has selected federalism reform as the major issue in the next few years. Snelling is pushing the Republican governors to come up with some solid proposals to make the federalist reform succeed, and to ride that success into the chairmanship of the national governors. He has been a driving force in shaping the Republican governors desires into specific policy, but he has also been afraid to push too hard for fear of alienating potential supporters of his national chairmanship bid.

The Vermont Republican has worked hard to enhance his national image, and that work may pay off with the position. Snelling now serves on the governors Advisory Council of Intergovernmental Relations. In other matters, Snelling said Monday the tax cut that will be proposed by President-elect Ronald Reagan will be a manageable" cut and will probably be passed through to Vermont taxpayers. Snelling said he believes the tax cut will not be so large that the state could not afford to pass the savings through to Vermonters, but he also said the cut will not be insignificantly small. In an interv iew, Snelling refused to reveal the size of the federal budget cut he believed Vermont could afford to pass through, and he also refused to say if Vermont could absorb the estimated $6 million loss in federal funds expected to result from Reagan's proposal.

Snelling said he will reveal the magnitude of the federal cut he believes Vermont can afford in his Jan. 20 budget announcement. Vermont income tax is assessed as a percentage of the federal tax. and state law must be changed to pass through any federal cut in the first year State officials have considered delaying the passthrough if Vermont is unable to afford the affects of an immediate cut Snelling predicted Monday no delay would be necessary, but he also said he would be foolish to agree to pass through a federal tax cut if he is uncertain what it will cost In a resolution on federalism written by Snelling and approved by the other governors, the governor urges Reagan to make that cut in the first 2w days of his administration He said he believes there is go.ng to le fiscal pressures on all God children but he said if the cut is implemented properly, waste will eliminated, not sen ices Snellirg didn't say which Vermont pre-grams be thought would be most affected tv a federal budget cut but in his federalism proposal Snelling urged Reagan to begin conv.Bidatxei of grants in axj teg.r.nrg educator, econo tc dev ex mer.t or at)-- r.dl renab. litatxe; a-d transporta'pe.

grants Jenrette later told a news conference. He revealed he was considering a resignation. If the ethics committee completes its preliminary inquiry and a full investigation, it may recommend that the House either expel, censure or reprimand Jenrette or take no disciplinary action against him. Myers' expulsion has been widely considered as a precedent that would lead to Jenrette's expulsion as well, except that there is little time for such action if Congress adjourns as it hopes on Dec. 5.

E. Berrett Prettyman, the ethics committees special counsel for Abscam cases, said the matter will be dropped if the House fails to act this year because Jenrette will be out of office next year whether he resigns now or not.

I dont plan to resign, said Jenrette, who earlier said he was considering quitting. I hope to use the (ethics committee) hearing to further inform the American people and the Congress about some very outrageous things I think took place in the Abscam matter," he said in an interview on NBC-TVs Today program.
