MARCH TO PROTEST CONGRESS
B OMBAY — A massive protest demonstration against the 38th International Eucharistic Congress, to be held here from Nov. 28 to Dec. 6 has been planned for Nov. 18 by a militant Hindu organisation.
The demonstration organised by Sabha, Hindu name of the association, will take place in Maharashtra State, which includes Bombay. In a resolution adopted at a public meeting on October 25, a Sabha committee called on the State's people to observe November 18 as "antiEucharistic Congress Day." The militant Hindu organisation termed the congress "a well-planned offensive to convert the Indian population to Christianity." Sabha expressed concern over a display of Roman strength in India at this time in view of "the atholic C mischievous political role being played by the Roman Catholic Church in South Vietnam and the encouragement given by it to the Naga rebels on India's eastern borders."
Propaganda Eucharistic Congress officials here declined to comment on this latest move of militant Hindus, which up to now has been confined to word-of-mouth propaganda and to distributing anti-Catholic leaflets. Congress circles here said they had nothing to add to what Valerian Cardinal Gracias of Bombay said at a recent news conference: "Believe me, we have no sinister intentions." Though the planned demonstration is permissible under India's constitution, police have been alerted to keep the demonstration from becoming violent. Two prelates, Monsignor Paul Marcinkus of Chicago, an official of the Papal Secretariat of State, who has been sent to prepare the arrangements for the Pope's trip to Bombay, and Father Pasquale Macchi, the Pope's private secretary, arrived here to discuss the Pope's programme.

Tchidimbo of Conakry, Guinea, said the text was only partially satisfactory since it says nothing about one-third of the world. Apparently written with European and American prientation. he said, it leaves out problems of the vast continent of Africa, among others. The statement on poverty is not enough. he Continued. The Church must also express itself on the necessity of "socialisation" in modern unified society, and declare its "solidarity with the. poor." He asked that bishops from nations outside Europe and America be given a greater voice in reworking the document. Summing up the arguments on the schema's general acceptability for discussion, Bishop Emilio Guano of Leghorn, Italy, said he was speaking in his own name since there was not time to convoke the mixed commission which framed the text. He said that he felt his remarks would nevertheless reflect the thinking of the cornHe observed in answer to criticism expressed that a large number of specialists and experts had been consulted in the preparation of the schema.
