Churches Lead
Fight To Keep
Negroes Out

PHlLADELPHlA March 13.-
(ANP)-White Roman Catholic
and Protestant priests and their
churches have joined forces to
purge Negroes out of certain Sec
tions of Philadelphia, it has be-
come known here, with the ex-
posture of letters showing the Or
ganization of these forces.
So anxious are these groups to
keep Negroes from better homes
that they have started the Girard
Avenue union and are now raising
$4,000 to buy property in order to
keep it out of the hands of the
Young Peoples Fellowship, an in
terracial religious group.
The leading spirits in the anti
Negro drive are Fathers James I.
Mcguire and Thomas Love, of the
Catholic church of the Gesu, both
of the Jesuit Order, and the Rev.
C. Herbert Reese, rector of st.
Matthew's Episcopal church.
In an interview with newspaper
reporters, the ministers were quite
outspoken that they are against
Negroes living near whites, and
stressed all the old stefeotypes con-
corning Negroes: That they run
down property, that living near
whites will lead to social equality,
and so forth.
When pressed as to why he had
developed such an attitude toward
Negroes, DR.. Reese shouted: "I'll
tell you why: I married wife
from the South and she will not
stand for living beside Negroes.
