Priest Comments
On Senate Tactics

HOUMA, La. (C) - A recent
sermon by Father j. A. Drolet,
pastor of st. Francis de Sales
Church, in which he attacked the
Senate filibuster on the anti-lynch-
ing bill and the position of Sen
ator A. j. Ellender of Louisiana,
who was born here, was praised in
New York last week in a letter
by Roy Wilkins, assistant secre-
tary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, to George K. Hunton, Sec
rotary of the Catholic Interracial
Council of New York and editor
of the Interracial Review. Express
sing appreciation of Father Dro-
let's sermon being 80 straightfor-
ward and uncompromising," Mr..
Wilkins added, 1--WE are sure Faith
er Drolet speaks for great group
of decent in intelligent white
Southerners." Father Drolet de-
clared in her sermon: But what
every decent Southern Christian
resents is that to all this (the fill
buster) there should be added a
flood of abusive and untruthful
statements about our Negro peo-
pie, and the stupid confusing of
inter-marriage (Which neither Ne
gro nor white desires) with inter-
racial justice, to which all the
members of the Mystical Body of
Christ have a sacred, Godgiven
right, be they dark skinned or
light"
