The report, broadcast by Aus- tralian radio, said the § 0 § from the 8,000-ton Lake Ontario said it was burning amidships. The ship left Brisbane for the United States last week with a crew of 42, The distress signals located the ship 270 miles south of Bury Casement In Heros Grave Noumea. All Ireland seemed to have turned-out in the streets of Dub- lin to honor the former British colonial servant and knight, who was arrested on the Kerry coast as he arrived to join the Irish Easter uprising, disgraced, and hanged. To many Irish, he was only a name in a history book, 'but-the return of his body for honorable burial was seen here as a symbo! of the slowly warming relationships between . Britain and its former territory, long poisoned by old enmity. Casement retired to. his na- tive Ireland and took up the cause of Irish nationalism after being knighted for his services in the British Consular Corps. In 1916, he was captured by the British after a trip to Ber- lin, via the United States, in an effort to win German aid and convince Irish prisoners of war to return to 'fight in the Irish rebellion. Casement was stripped of his knighthood and executed as a traitor. His remains stayed in the Pentonville prison cemetery in London until last week. British Prime Minister Wilson announced in. Parliament Tues- day the transfer of Casement's remains, calling it the end of an unhappy chapter in British-Irish relations, But Wilson said. Britain will not return the documents con- nected with Casement, including the controversial "'black dia- ries." These were journals al- legedly kept by Casement which showed he was a homosexual.

Rap South -- White Paper WASHINGTON viet Premier Kosygin and China have blasted the state department's white paper on South Viet Nam, but at home the document has drawn gen- erally favorable comment. Kosygin, speaking at an East German government reception Sunday in Leipzig, said the de- partment paper was "not white book but a black book-- the dirty acts of the Americans can, not be recorded in a white book." Peking said the U.S. state- ment was "a pretext" for launching new attacks against North Viet Nam. The 14,000-word document is- sued Saturday charged that Communist efforts to conquer South Viet Nam are being "'in- spired, directed, supplied and controlled" by North Viet Nam VietNam | (AP) -- So-|' All that remained of the mid- dle section was a pile of rub- ble in front and a' crater] in back.

A check with several senators produced agreement that the state department had made a convincing case on the extent of Communist involvement' in the South Vietnamese war.

Henry Cabot Lodge, ap- pointed by President Johnson last Friday as a special con- sultant on Viet Nam, said the document confirmed his belief that 'if the external pressure against South Viet Nam were to stop, the situation would then become one with which the gov- ernment of South Viet Nam could deal by itself."

One woman } |jacross the street from the shat- photo) Paul has called for an end to public discussion on contracep- tion, John Cardinal Heenan, archbishop of Westminster said here Sunday. "We were also informed that it was not for us to make fur- ther public statements on the subject," he added on his re- turn from Rome where he was last week received into the Col- lege of Cardinals, Asked about two British priests who rezently came out publicly in favor of birth con- trol the cardinal said: 'As I have been out of the country I am obviously not too well-in- formed on the matter, "Both of them 'are of differ- ent diocese so neither is my concern." Stressing that the church ad- vocated free speech the cardi- nal said; "As far as this par- ticular question is concerned the Pope has repeatedly asked: 'Can we not keep this quiet for just a little while?' "' One of the British priests, Father Arnold McMahon, went to Rome last week for talks on his radical views. The other, Father Joseph Cocker, has been banned from acting as a priest or preaching. Cardinal Heenan faces a re- volt among some of his clergy over Roman Catholic attitudes toward birth control. Last year Archbishop Frank Roberts, a Jesuit who. was for- merly Archbishop of Bombay, criticized church doctrine in the magazine Search. Cardinal Heenan, who had just become head of the Eng- lish heirarchy, responded that the church's present teaching-- opposing all but natural birth control methods -- was God's law and could not. be altered. But Archbishop Roberts has not remained silent. He con- tributed, along with seven lay- men, to Objections to Roman Catholicism, a book that takes a sharply critical look at some present aspects of church teaching. Again the archbishop picked the subject of birth con- trol. He has also written the fore- ward for an. English edition of another. collection of essays, published in New York~ under iness. This book is described in advance publicity here as a frontal attack on the church's whole birth-control philosophy. Meanwhile, among laymen, Dr. Anne Biezanek, 36, mother of seven, is fighting her own battle with the clergy by refus- ing to close a birth - control clinic she runs in Liverpool. For six months she presented herself to receive communion in her parish church but was passed by the priest. Then. she came to London, attended mass at Westminster Cathedral and received communion. "Whatever happens, my clinie will stay open," she says.
