peared at the prison and sought to

CATHOLICS CLASH ON
WORK AMONG NEGROES

said: ut is an impregnable fact
that any group or section of our
American population, white or COL
ored, which remains in ignorance
of true Christian principles, in
squalor and poverty through lack
of economic opportunity or subject
to ravages of disease, or which is
permitted to remain a fertile field
for demagogic appeal through de-
nial of fundamental rights in a
democracy, is a drag upon eco
nOnlic and social progress and a
potential menace to a nation"
Outlining for his audience the
Mobile Plan" of missionary activi-
|ty among the colored group
Father Warren explained that 80
Catholic priests in the Mobile Dio-
cese devote their efforts to this
program. Clinics have been es-
tablished in the South to minister
to the physical aspects of Negro
lie, the bishop said.
Every Pope has manifested an
interest in conversion of the Negro
since the first slaves were deposit
ed ON the American shores, Father
Warren said The motif of the
meeting, quoting from the words
Of Pope Plus XII, said in part: 1--WE
confess that We fell a special pa
ternal affection, which is certainly
inspired of heaven, for the Negro
people dwelling among you"
The Catholic conference closed

by several dignitaTies.

RECEIVES LETTER

'FTOIIl IdlT I1uIIlUtT OI NcSTOcS
received abusive letters saying
that I had openly admitted that I
had prejudices, which was true;
that I had made speech to only
enfranchise white men, which was
not true. Those letters generally
berated me for not making a pro-
Negro speech.
''And what did I get from the
other side? Some Of the neWspa-
pers of Mississippi and Alabama
took their somewhat vitriolic pens
in hand, and penned a many token
of their DIS-esteem.
Urging a unamity of action
among the progressive thinkers OF
the South, Mr.. Maverick presented
what he termed his six-point pro-
gram, designed to bring the South
up to the standards of the rest OF
| the nation.
The plan was:
1. Let's free our minds from
prejudices as much as we can and
have the courage to think and
let us preserve constitutional de-
mocracy, civil rights for all.
PLEA FOR NEGRO
2. Let lis see to it that the Ne
gro gets full economic opportunity,
equal pay for equal work, political
Justice, protection of civil rights
and education.
4. Let us conserve the natural
resources of the South for the peo-
pie.
4. Let's fight for housing on
great national scale for all the
people. both urban and agricul-
tural.
Let's insist upon fair, impartial,
sensible, scientific law enforcement
for all the people.
6. Let us follow as our policy
the South working for and with
the rest of the nation.
Defining democracy as "the right
of every man tc talk, write and
think as he pleases, live in peace

He voiced strong plea for
economic justice for all,' declar-
ing that when We demand eco
nonlic justice for the Negro, we
must remember that, for they
must eat tco, and groceries cost
them as much as they do white
people"
LOWERED FOR ALL
He declared that his plea for
economic justice for colored people
was taken admittedly from a sell
fish view, warning that 1--WE must
remember that when standards are
constantly lowered for the Negro,
that it constantly lowers them for
the white man.
"The federal government under
the constitution has perfect
right to provide protection, and
should give protection when local
law breaks down." the militant
mayor declared, in an apparent
endorsement of a federal anti
lynching bill.
Mr.. Mavericks vote for the bill,
while a member of Congress. later
resulted in his defeat for the rep
resentative post.
The conference in its closing Ses-
sion adopted strong resolutions
urging the passage of the Geyer
bill, designed to abolish poll taxes
in federal elections, and the Wag-
ner-Van Nuys bill calling for fed
eral prosecution of lynchers.
