New York - (Ncwc) - A Na- tional Society for the Legaliza- tion of Euthanasia, which is re- ferred to by its sponsors as "mercy killing," has been or- ganized here. Its advocates con- tend it should be made legal for a person with an incurable ail- ment to ch o o s e immediate death. The c1w1ouncement was made by Dr. Charles Francis Potter, who is described as leader of the First Humanist Society. In- cluded among the directors and on the advisory b o a r d are writers, college professors, edu- cators, a rabbi and others iden- tified with the birth control movement. "The Christian church, espe- cially the Roman Catholics, I have been told," Dr. Potter said, "will bitterly oppose euthanasia; Encyclical Radio Topic In Canada Series Montreal-(NCWC)-The En- cyclical Divini Redemptoris is the subject of the new series of sermons to be broadcast during the Catholic Radio Hour over station CKAC.
