a special Vatican Secretariat for the Non Christians designed to give new impetus to the Roman Catholic aspiration to universality The new body according to Vatican sources will have the task of maintaining relations with all of the religions not based on the divinity of Jesus Christ It will parallel the Secretariat for Christian Unity which seeks points of contact among Catholic and Christians Speaking to some 6000 semi narians in a pontifical Mass of Pentecost in St Basilica the Pope said tablishing the was that: pilgrim far religiously rally may be the country from which he comes will be any longer a stranger in this Rome faithful still today to the historic program which the Catholic faith retains for itself of (joint Historic Departure The action was assessed here i as an historic departure for the church a further expression of the winds of change loosed by the late Pope John XXIII when he summoned the ecumen ical council Vatican II The i church has always in the past expressed its interest in 'mem bers of other religions entirely through evangelism and mis sionary work The new secretariat without renouncing the tradi tional desire to take in ever larger segments of mankind will however treat with other religions in the words in and respectful dia and in sincer presumably without overtevangelical intent The new secretariat will be headed the Pope said by Paolo Cardinal Marella 69 year old Italian prelate one time apos tolic delegate in Japan and papal nuncio in rance and cur rently archpriest of St Peter's Basilica Raises Question The pontiff did not specify whether the Secretariat for non Christians would be part of the structure of the ecumenical council Vatican II reconvening for its third session in Septem ber This raised the question however of the possible admis sion of non Christian observers to the council on terms similar to those accorded non Catholic Christian observers It was learned also that a draft statement exonerating the Jewish people generally from guilt for the crucifixion of Christ will no longer form a chapter of the or draft on Christian unity as it did at the last session It has been pre pared for circulation to the 2300 council fathers all of the cardinals archbishops and bish ops of the as a seperate declaration To Cover All Instead of dealing only with the relations between Catholics and Jews as it did when it formed Chapter IV of the Christ ian unity schema the declara tion will cover relations with all non Christians A Vatican spokesman said the announcement meant that henceforward all non Christian relations Judaism Islam Buddhism and others would be dealt with through the new secretariat Until yester day the Secretariat for Christ ian Unity headed by Augustin Cardinal Bea had exercised jurisdiction over the section "dealing with Judaism Some doubts were expressed in informed circles here as to whether world Judaism would welcome a change that seemed to minimize the Judaco Christ ian connection through the Old Testament and place Judaism on a par with all other world religions in Catholic eyes The decision was em bodied in a 2 000 word homily delivered to the seminarians in fhn nresence of a score of car dinals after the pcntecostal mass commission helicopters had ar rived 15 minutes later A Canadian observer said the situation at Gen Kong headquarters at

and that Pathet Lao troops had advanced to within 500 yards of his headquarters They said fighting was heavy Helicopter crewmen who flew the observers out said they saw several tanks from the air but

pushes into the Plain of Jars in the past year and Kong Le and his neutralist army have been forced to retreat several times Broadcast Quoted Meanwhile a Peking radio broadcast heard in Tokyo said

members and represents tives of Britain and the Soviet i Union cochairmen of the Gen eva conference on Laos to Khang Khay with him the i broadcast said Souvanna summoned the Brit ish and Soviet envoys for a con ference and said he urged them do everything they could to stop the fighting The neutralist premier sent a cable to his pro Communist half brother Soupha nouvong accusing him of grant violations of the Geneva At that meeting the Commu nists charged that Voltz had il legally flown over more than 30 September 1962 more than 10 December 1962 Combs the agency said peatedly requested
