' them the Trujillos. members of the diplomatic corps and government officials — who fhowed up at the nunciature lor the reception.

ers are self-educated. Why should we use college-educated teachers when we don't use college-educated preachers?"
"The Amish observe the law unless it crosses their basic religious beliefs, Dush pointed out." "Then they adopt partial withdrawal and follow a course of pasfive resistance.''
"THEY HAVE NO poor relief problem, and little juvenile delinquency. Their clothing is distinctive and they separate themselves from the rest of the world. They can't do that very well in modern schools. These people know that if a child does go to a modern school, it will no longer be an Amish child," the lawyers said.
Three legal actions have been tried in Ohio against the Amish by local school officials, but none have been settled.
BESIDES THE SCHOLASTIC and teacher standards, the state requires children to attend school until their graduation from high school <W age 18. The Amish object to having their children in school beyond age 14 and the completion of the eighth grade.
County school board members and representatives of the <State Department of Education will testify at the next meeting this month.

TWO DOCTORS
Ask Changes In Premarital Talks
SAX ANTONIO. Tex—Two prominent Catholic doctor* have called for radical changes in organized premarital lectures dealing wiih sex from a .scientific viewpoint.
Dr. Herbert Ratner of Cfcl-coga told the 27th national
.Catholic Family Life t'onven-
.tion that the best sex education lies in "giving a dynamic appreciation of the virtues.'*
The best guide for good marital relation*! is common
-sense and natural instinct, added Dr. Ratr.er. professor of medicine at the Stritch School of Medicine and com-rm-Moner of public health in Oak Park. 111.
Dr. John R. Cavanagh, a Washington psychiatrist and a leader in the development of current premarital counseling techniques, said some of the information imparted in
P< 'iiv Eirlimattn Had Vatican Passport
VATICAN CITY — 'Radio, NC) -t—L'Osservatore Romano ha« denied that a Vatican passport was ever issued to Adolf Eichmann. nazi leader charged with the murder of millions of Jews.
The report appeared in a West German daily and was carried by wire services. It claimed that the nazi had traveled to Argentina on a Vatican passport in 1950.
Mr. Eichmann was seized by Israeli agents in Argentina and taken to Israel, where he is now awaiting trial.
• The Vatican City daily said: #l\Ve know that the person in question never had a "Vatican passport.' not even one issued under a fictitious name, because it is not the Holy See s custom to issue such a document to people who have no legal right to them.''
premarital medical talks as they are now given is useful — but not nearly as useful as other subject matter would be.
"It would seem more desirable to discuss with the engaged couples asp^h of the psychology of interpersonal relations, rather than give them a diluted versipn of sex activity with emphasis on its mechanical aapects," Or. C«r* anagh said.
