Msgr Patrick J Mccormick, rector of Catholic Uni versity of America and president of the Commission on American Citi- zenship announced the appoint ment of the Rt. Rev. Msgr. George Johnson, as director of the commis- sion. Monsignor Johnson, who is director of the Campus School of Catholic University, and director of the Department of Education of the National Catholic Welfare Confer ence, has been member of the executive committee of the commis- sion since its establishment in 1939 by the American hierarchy.
 This committee, under the chair manship of the Most Reverend Francis J. Haas, now Bishop of Grand Rapids, directs the program designed by the American hierarchy to reaffirm the chlTch's traditional position of answering allegiance to free American institutions and to construct an educational plan for the broadening and depending of Christian principles of social living

member him ever to have been other than cheerful. In the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, he al- ways had a good word to say for life.
 But Father Hinchey's optimism was never extreme. Owning a substantial supply of common sense he was not one of those men who believe that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. His homely and prac- tical wisdom forbade such an ex- cess. But his strong faith en- abled him to believe unswervingly that this is Gods world and that he who knows God and lives for God has no reason ever to despair.
 No one can point to Father Hincheys material accomplish ments in the priesthood. In his eight years as pastor in East Hampton and in Willimantic he had little opportunity for erecting ecclesiastical monuments by which he might be remembered. His building was done in the hearts of those who sought his advice and assistance. AS shown in his own life, that advice might be summed up in the words of Edward Everett Hale,
 ITO look up and not down,
 To look forward and not back,
 To look out and not in, and
 To lend a hand

Father Hinchey was an optimist. To characterize any man by a single word is perilous. But this big bluff, breezy and jovial priest exemplified as well as anyone we know that seeking of the good and believing in the good which are optimism in the best sense. His seeking and believing were rooted in a broad compassion which en- abled him to see something of virtue in every man and in a fortitude of soul which prevented him from ever indulging in the vice of self-pity.

Crop Furnishes Fibers
Important to Industry

Bv he Associated Press.

bN ne ASSOCIATED fIeNs.
CHICAGO. March PA new crop
for farmers to grow on sub marginal
acres. the milkweed plant. was de-
scribed today by Dr.. Boris Berkman
of Chicago as providing materials
for the war effort for use in place
of Java kapok and as offering new
source of livestock feed.
The plant produces two fibers,
utilization of which is important to
a number of industries and the war
effort. Dr. Berkman reported in a
paper read at the annual conference
of the National Farm Chemurgic
Council.
The fiber. produced by the pod,
known as the milkWeed floss. has
proven in laboratory tests. DR.. Berk-
man said, to have exceptional buoy
ancy. because each fiber has a
naturally sealed air tube This un-
usual fiber structure also has shown
in tests to be a desirable insula ting
material. The other fiber, which
resembles fax, is found in the outer
layer of the plant stalk and has
great tensile strength. making it
suitable for use as textile material
Dr.. Berkman added that oil ex-
tracted from milkweed seed is iden-
tical in its properties to soybean oil.
The meal left after Oil extraction,
he said, contains approxima tely 40
per cent protein offering a new
source of livestock feed
He said he believed the milkWeed
crop is here to stay as one of the
postwar period developments and
that kopak, formerly imported from
lands now held by the japanese. will
not return as serious competition
after the war.

Jefferson Honored

10 Join in Marking
2OOth Anniversary

The District Commissioners last
night paid honor to Thomas Jeffer-
son, architect of American liberty ,
IN formal proclamation noting the
2ooth anniversary of his birth. to be
observed April l3. The city heads
said:
Today more than ever before,
Jefferson lives in the hearts of the
Amer'--.n people. For he held that
all men are created equal. that they
possess certain inalienable rights
and that governments derive their
lust powers from the consent of the
governed. These truths and the Ma
tlon founded upon them are now
challenged by the hosts of tyranny.
And to defend them our country
men have taken up the sword of
freedom.
1T is fitting then that this 200th
anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's
birth should be celebrated as a day
OF rededlcation to the truths which
ne first proclaimed and established
In TINS celebration. not only Amer
leans, but the people of all the
United Nations will participate For,
so long as we cherish maintain and
strengthen the democratic principles
OF Jefferson. the United States will
remain what he conceived it to be
the worlds best hope.
True Americans of all races and
creeds, regardless of political affili-
alton will, therefore, join on April
l3 l943, in commemorating Thomas
Jefferson and in pledging our lives,
our fortunes and our sacred honor
to the triumph of those principles
OF freedom which he bequeathed to
us and to all mankind"
Meanwhile, the Library of Con-
sress announced plans for series
OF exhibits in honor of the BIZ
centenary of the birth of Jefferson.
called the founder of the Library
The exhibits will open Monday,
April 12 one day before the BIZ
centennial ceremonies which include

ferson Memorial on the Tidal Basin.
Prominence will be given in the

the relations of jefferson to the de-
velopment of the Library.
