Mother Seton
Beloved Founder of Order of Sisters of Charity May Become Americas First Saint - Cause of Mother Cabrini Also Advocated
 Before Papal Authorities.

Efforts to obtain the canoniZation of Mother Elizabeth Seton, founder of the Order of Sisters of Charity, have been resumed.
 Members of the order are teach CTS in local and other parochial schools throughout the Hartford Diocese.
 According to special article by Mazie Clemens in 8 recent Sunday magazine section of the New York Mirror it is now question whether Mother Seton or Mother Cabrini will become the first American Saint. There is considerable local interest in the outcome of the off, cial deliberations in Rome on the two candidates. The Mirror's story on Mother Seton follows:
 At last America is to have a place in the Roman Catholic Cal- endar of Saints. On January II last the Sacred Congregation of Rites met with His Holiness Pope Plus XII to consider the Decree of Tuto, final step before canon ization, of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini. This announcement raised question in many Amer ican minds as to what had be- come of the cause put forth pre- veiouSly for two other American women-Mother Elizabeth Seton, founder of the Order of Sisters of Charity in this country, and Ka- FIaly oly xryifI1o fhn Hffln Tn dian maiden of the Mohawk Val- ley.
 Mother Seton died 126 years ago and new interest is aroused in her cause. Hundreds of letters have been pouring into Mount St. Vim cent, the mother house of the sis ters, from all over the country and from people in all walks of life, asking information as to why her cause has been delayed. And Rome may yet give preference to her.
 More than 20 years ago it was reported from Rome that America was one step nearer to having a place in the Roman Catholic Cal- endar of Saints when Cardinal Gibbons, who had sponsored her cause in 1880, ordered all Cath olics under pain of the displeas- ure of the Church, to bring writ ings of any character that came from Mother Seton's pen to the Promoter Fiscallis. Her cause was then in its fifth step. Cardinal Cheverus had been especially en- ergetic in her behalf.
 The first American to have cause of justification and can-

News Of Connecticut

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 19-(UP)- Private housing construction was under suspension today in Connecti- cut, and the Federal Housing Ad- ministration additionally froze con- struction quotas of low-cost homes in Hartford, Bristol and Southing- ton.
 The suspension order, it was said, resulted from the number of un- tenanted public housing projects in many communities, indicating that the immigration of workers has fallen sharply.
 Under a new FILA policy, these public housing units will be made available to families of men in- ducted into the armed forces, if the family income, as result of induc- tion, makes it impossible to afford rental of private housing.
 Also, it was said, honorably dis charged servicemen of the present war will be eligible for tenancy in the low-rent projects. if application is made within a year after being discharged from the service.
