With our pastor as spiritual advis- CT and teacher, Germany could be
 made a living country to those
 whose ancestors came from there. Alter few months the custom of
 the people and even their literature could be studied. The history sf the Catholic Church in Germany, and its influence on the people might be part of these studies. Members of the parish who came from Germany would gladly relate interesting experiences which they had there, and could cer-
 tainly compare America with that country. It might be amusing to hear first impressions of our coun=

try. These meetings ought to be widely attended for their practical as well as social values,
 Tn these various ways the loy- alty of the parishioners would be given to the parish alone. Their religious ties would be strength ened. Long dormant ideas to spread the growth of Catholic Ac- ton would bring forth, for the people would see that everything was being done to further their social, educational and spiritual welfare. Other parishes would fol- low our example, and a new era of Catholicity would be started in our city,.

Believe Sheriff
In Double Crime


NEW YORK - Sheriff Wright
Of Montgomery County. Miss, in
which the Duck Hlll-blow torch
double lynching was staged April
13, is generally believed to have
been In collision with the mob.
according to a sensational report
on the lynchings made to the MAJ
CP by southern white man who
investigated the double crime for
the Association.
It is recorded that Sheriff
Wright did not call Governor White
on the telephone until about two
hours after the mob had taken
the prisoners from him, and that
when he did telephone, although
he had never left the courthouse
and presumably did not know what
was happening, he reported to the
Governor that there had been a
lynching.
Aleading citizen Of Winona told
the investigator There are thou
sand people in Montgomery Coun-
ty who can name the lynchers."

Catholics Favor
Anti-LyncIl Bill

NEW YORk.--Editorial opinion
in Catholic papers throughout the
United States Is unanimously in IA
vor of the passage Of an effective
anti-lynching law by the present
Congress. according to data COM
piled by the Catholic Interracial
Council Of New York.
Participating in a campaign
launched by the Interracial Review,
go w. 42nd street, published by
the Interracial Council, Catholic
editors have written numerous ed
itorials supporting this legislation
In addition they have printed sew
eral important news stories also
supporting this legislation, which
were sent out BY the National
Catholic Welfare News Service
This service goes to Catholic pa
pers all over the United States
and to leading publications in sew
enteen foreign countries.
Both America" national Cath
Ole review of the week, and the
Interracial Review, George K. Hut
ton, managing editor, have stressed
the point that lynching and mob
violence have led to other violent
attacks and have stressed the view
that "lynching must be nationally
repudiated."
The Pittsburgh Catholic, on APP
I'll %, stated editorially that lit
would seem unnecessary to appeal
to such. motive (lynchings endan-
ger the minorities) to arouse Cath
olics to the stand they should take
in this matter An un-Catholic
attitude toward the Negro cannot
be defended" Again, in March,
the same paper urged a strong
Federal anti-lynching bill, and
pointed out that fears of the
States rights advocates of Federal
interference sin their internal af-
fairs can prevent that right from
being exercised by seeing to it
that their own agencies uphold
the duties for which they exist"
The Catholic Transcript of Hart
ford, Conn, in spite of its fears of
further extension of Federal pow
err at the expense of the States, I"
pointedly says: State rights in the
instance of mob murder must give
way to human rights"
The Catholic News, official do
cesar organ of the New York
Archdiocese, is also outspoken in
favor of Federal law. This paper
says that, there must be COM
plete outlawing of these mob muir
ders if our country is to get rid Of
this national disgrace. An adequate
Federal anti-lynching law is the
only cure"

Hinted in Bill

NEW YORK. (By Ben Davis,
Jr., for CHA While the Wagner
Van Nuys anti-lynching bill was
at standitill in the United States
Senate. the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, Which is sponsoring the
widely supported measure, charged
this week that the bill is imper-
illed by vote%trading in the Senate.
simultaneously it was learned
that the Iull in the bills progress
toward a vote in the Upper House
was the occasion for revival of
numerous anti-Negro pro-lynching
editorials in several Southern re-
dictionary papers.
Commenting on last months sa-
wage blow-torch lynching Of two
youths at Duck Hill, Miss, the
sunflower Tocsin, Indianola, Miss,
newspaper, on April 10. said edi-
toriaIly that If two persons ever
deserved lynching, the two brutes
at Duck Hill richly deserved what
they got. Nothing win ever cause
of any investigation the governor
or anybody else win make and not
one member Of the mob win ever
be arrested"
The Wagner-Van Mugs anti
lynching bill Is virtual duplicate
of the Gavagan measure which
passed the House last April, after
a nationwide campaign in its be-
I half on the part Of the N.A.A.C.P..

and scores of labor, civic and pro-
gressive organizations. The bill is
scheduled 30 ccme up in the Sem
ate shortly, after it has been con-
sidered by subcommittee of the
Senate Judiciary committee.
Roy Wilkins, Assistant national
secretary Of the N.A.A.C.P. said:
According to information we
have received Senators are trying

on President Roosevelt's Supreme
Court plan. The scheme appears
to be to get Southern Senators
who favor the Presidents plan .

for the agreement Of northern SEN
ators to vote against and filibus-
ter to death the anti-lynching BILL
The plan, which if carried thru
might defeat both measures, has
drawn bitter fire from progressive
groups and from Negro organiza-
lions throughout the country, VIII
