Sheen told the New York State Senate Monday. < ^ •There art certain things a *man ha« do for himsgtf/' the Roman Catholic BisKep of Ro- chester said as t* launched into his unusual invocation. \He has to blow his own nose; make his own love and say his own prayer.\ He told the legislators he *'>uld pause periodically during his brief talk \You do your own —praying-' r • ; Sheens appearances in the Capitol and at the Executive Mansion wvre his first since he became bishop of Rochester He urged the lawmakers to be •ware they share their authori- ty with God In making lawi; that they are custodians of fht rights and liberties of the peo- ple, a people endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights, J 1 was Just over at the pray- ing side/' he told the members of the Assembly. He was invited to that chamber after his Sen- ate talk and inadvertently inter- rupted Majority Leader Moses M Weinstein when he stepped on the rostrum. He apologized to Weinstein: •'The onJy man who likes to be 4&€mipted in ,the middle of a* sentence is a prisoner.\ The bishop struck a serious note, observing that law-makers and law enforcement agencies are on the defensive \Some- thing has happened to our civil* -.: batbn today.\ , He urged the legislators to show concern for the poor and quoted Jeremiah, \You were* good to the poor. Is this not to know me\ He said too, that concern for the world poor is what has stamped America as unique , \I am happy that, though out children may no longer pray in our classrooms, we still may pray in our Legislatures,\ he concluded. That was a reference to a IS. Supreme Court ded- — sion at several year? jgo . m which the high court banned forma! prayer in public schools. In an informal news confer- ence later. Bishop Sheen shied awav from such controversial •question*, as proposed repeal of the Blaine Amendment and : Abortion ^reform.

Knappstein is expected to re- rum to Washington next week- end. Senators hit 1 garded by progressive clerics as : a major obstacle to ChUi'ch rn<xk'rnization. A.s proprefect of the Sacred Congreijation for the FKx'tnno of the Faith, he wield- ed immense behind-the-scenes 'power and described himself a a •'policeman\ guarding Church tradition. The appointment of Cardinal Seper, 63. archbishop of Zagreb, is the most dramatic move so far in Pope Paul's efforts to in- ternationalize the Italian-domi- ' nated Roman Curia, the central Church administration. j Informed Vatican sources said Cardinal Ottaviani leaves \in piedi\ ton his feet)—mean- ing the resignation was forced neither by health reasons nor by ! direct intervention of the Pope. They said that although he j has been partially blind for more than a decade, he is in good health. They also said his resignation has been sitting on ; Pope Paul's desk for some time. the pontiff ^having turned It down until- now. ! Last February, the pontiff praised Cardinal Ottaviani in a letter as \my friend and teach- er\ and expressed the hope he would remain at his post for many years to come. He had ; warm praise acain for the car- | dinal in his letter accepting the resignation, printed Monday by the Vatican paper L'Osserva- tore Romano. Officials close to Cardinal Ot- taviano jet out the word that he had resigned to **sct an exam- ple\ for older prelates in high • Curia positions. Por*» Paul asked Curia cardinals more than a year aco to put their job? • at his disposal. Vatican in- formants, however, reported the conviction in hich Church cir- cles that the cardinal felt him- self increasingly isolated by the niovement for lib?*-^\a!i<>n that . began wilh the 1962-65 Second Vatican Courx-il. Since 1935 he had been a high official of the -or-relation, which grew out of the 16th cen- iturv Inquisition. Since 1953 he had run it as basically the sole administrative arbiter of doctr:- i na] questions from dioceses around the world. At the V Mean Council, how- ever, he often found himself an- ,gered by progressive bishops who repeatedly denounced his congregation's supersecrecy. After the council. Pope Paul changed the _congregation's name from the \Holy Office/' which for centuries had evoked the image of heretic-hunting. He abolished its index of forbidden books and ordered fair trials for religious defendants. Last October a working paper prepared by Ottaviani's office was widely scored at the world bishops synod as too fearful of theological change. A synod commission was appointed to i rewrite the conservative docu- ; merit and Cardinal Seper was j named by the Pope to head it. \ The Yugoslav prelate, who j will take over the highest-rank- ing Vatican job ever given to a Cardinal from a Communist country, is known as a modest man who shies away from publi- city. Regarded highly by progressives and conservatives, he drew the highest number of votes when the synod chose its commission He will have to leave Zagreb for the Vatican . post. .WASHINGTON (AP) - TAO' senator* accused the automobile industry Sunday of tr>.ng to dis- credit new safety requirements by boosting prxe* far beyond cos:> and blaming the increases or> :he federal standards. .Sen-.
