A paratrooper priest who made an archangel his patron waj entrusted this week to the cotnpany of angels for eternity.

Father Joseph Natale, husky and widely acclaimed as a priest who best filled the hazardous role of a U.S. Army chaplain, ended an bonor-studded military career in death Friday, August 16, 1963.

Three bishops, scores pf priests, hundreds of nuns and lay people at­tended his funeral at Sacred Heart Cathedral this Wednesday morning

He had more than a hundred parachute jumps to his credit and yet despite an apparent bravado he admitted — "When I was ready to make ray first jump, 1 was scared to death. Every jomp after that, I was more scared :'

t His courage was not in a lack of fear but that he overcame it to be a

finest to that hardy breed of men whp face death in every step they take rom airplanes streaking high above the earth.

Father Natale, 42, ordained in 1946, organized the St, Michael's Society for Catholics in the paratrooper corps of the U. S, Army The organization. maintains rigid religious requirements for its members and St.Michael, war rior angel, is their patron. A portion of the prayer-poem to the saLnt com-' posed by Father Natale is at the head of this article.

Bishop Kearney offered the Requiem Mass at the Cathedral. Text of his eulogy will be in next week's Courier Joiirnal.

Auxiliary Bishop Philip J. Furlong of New York represented Cardinal Spellman, spiritual shepherd of the nation's armed forces. Auxiliarv Bishop •t»a=w*eiH»-Btr Casey of ftochester-assiStetT at the Mass. AIT three blsfiops also presided at final grave-side rites in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

jThcy urged similar action •mwasms b> civic associations.

It ts ojjty by op«n and free esch*Ji?e of ideas that we can orderatand the rigfets and obli­gations that prevail on both tides.

Sach knowledge Is a prelude to action that will remove ar­tificial! barriers of rate," Ibey uid

The bishops — Amm the heads of small, iltuost-mission-ary diocese* to th,« five U.S. Princes of the? Church — issued their appeal in a historic Joint pastoral letter addressed to t n e nation's 43 million Catholics.

Released here rfarough the National Catholic Welfare Con­ference, the letter also wUl be read from the pulpit of Catho­lic churches throughout th» country this Sunday. Aujuat25.

(Full text, p*x« 4)

It bluntly says tha3 the nation must remove ineqEutles artero-ming from race, that public authorities must help correct the evils of discrimination, that no good Catholic eaa fall to re-cognlws the rights of all citizens In vote and that the racial ques­tion confronts the conscience of every American.

"The moat crucial teat of lov» of God Is love of neighbor," u id the bishops.

The pastoral noted that the hierarchy has condemned racial

i dlsirlmination twice In the past IMS and 1958 Put it uid that In the "present cmLs." thf blah-oprs rfcsh to offer "sc*sne pastoral suggestions for a Calholic ap­proach to racial harmony."

Cond>mning all forms of dis­crimination a n d srgrcgation bawd on prpjudne, the bishops rounst-ifd Cathollrt It u our strict duty lo re»pec-1 the basic human rights of every person.'*

"We know" they said, "that public authority is obliged to help correct the evtLs of unjust discrimination practiced against any group or clasv We also re­cognize that eiery minority group in America seeking Its lawful rtBhta has the obligation of respecting the lawful rights of others.

"No Catholic with a good Christian conscience."" they add­ed, "can fall to reoognue ih« rights of all citizens to rote
