Milwaukee, Wis - Especially -
Father Franklyn J. Kennedy, edi-
tor of The Catholic Herald Citizen
here, has listed the reasons for his
vigorous fight against racial dis
elimination as practiced by the
American Bowling Congress.
His statement appears this week
on Page 1 of the Catholic Herald
Citizen. It is entitled why I Am
Opposed to the Discrimination
Practiced by the American Bowl
ing Congress"
"As a Catholic, judge all situa-
tons and actions in the light Of
Catholic principles" Father Ken
nedy writes. For example, the
question of divorce, or the moral
ity of a movie, or birth control, or
talking about my neighbor or
racial prejudice (known as rae
ISM all these 1 have to judge
in the light of the principles
taught by Christ and His Church.
las a Catholic, I have to know
the teaching of Christ's Church
and conform my actions to 1t.
When act contrary to what 1
know is right, am guilty Of sin, 1"
the priest states.
Among the reasons for believing
that racism is morally wrong,
Father Kennedy lists the fact that
all men are created equally chill
dren of God, members of one hu-
man family; that Christ has re-
deemed all men with His Precious
Blood, having already left the
second great commandment to
love our neighbor as ourselves, be
he white, or black, or yellow "
The priest also quotes Pope Plus
XII and the Bishops of the United
States in their statements against
racism.
After examining the actions Of
the American Bowling Congress
in the light Of these Christian
principles, the priest concludes
That the discriminatory practices
of the American Bowling Congress
are morally wrong"
Il am confident that Catholic
bowlers will do what they can to
have the situation changed so that
Christian principles-and Ameri-
can principles-wiIl obtain in the
great national sport of bowling" "
Father Kennedy declared.

McDermOtt And Truax
State Views; Will
Stand On Records

Pat McDermott, st. Paul COM
missioner of Finance, stated in an
interview Tuesday that he not
only favored a city FEPC, but
said that IL the issue came up in
the City council, he would give it
his support.
McDermott feels that an FEPC
would be beneficial in places
where jobs are not governed by
civil service.
The first thing that is needed
in st. Paul, however he said, is a
new and better equipped grade
school to replace the present Max
field grade school.
There is no reason why st.
Paul should not have the best
schools and the best school system
in the country" McDermott said.
Commissioner of Education Fred
Truax said that he does not think
city FEPC is necessary in st.
Paul, but said he would favor one
if it were brought before the coun-
Gil.
IF anyone is qualified for the
job" he said, "he should be en-
ployed in the field for which he
has prepared himself"
Truax would favor additional
parks and Fairgrounds for st.
Paul, and would consider convert
ing the Hollow, situated on Cen
trail and st. Anthony AYES, into
a community center.
Both are candidates for re-elec-
ton and both said they would run
on their records.--M. r. b.

CARELESS of how well these institu-
tons have operated men have
found it necessary to band them
selves together in other organi-
cations of common interests, he
said.
He traced these organizations
from the first formed guilds, to
the religious brotherhoods, frater-
nal groups and others. The idea
of brotherhood is an old one, Mr..
Cannon said. He pointed out that
the most primitive of the early
African tribes used such rites as
pricking their thumbs and joining
hands with others and mingling
the blood from the thumbs, as a
symbol of brotherhood.
The speaker said he felt that
Christian brotherhood Is a goal
worth attaining. II ever achlev-
ed will offer the people the most
beautiful experience of Ife."
The convocation was urged as
the first step toward brotherhood,
the necessity of acquainting them
selves with other people and indi-
viduals by contact. He warned
that prejudice often had its roots
in ignorance Of the other fellow as
a member of the human family.
Rumors, hearsay, acceptance Of
stereotypes do much to create
fear. hostility and prejudice be-
tween racial and religious groups.

Rabbi Gerstenfeld said:
The ancient Bible, the founda-

repudiates witchcraft. the evil

Transfer Of 5000
In Survivors Bureau
To District Requested
By Harold B. Rogers

Transfer of the Bureau of Old
Age and Survivors Insurance of
the Social Security Administra-
ton with its 5000 workers from
Baltimore to the Washington
Metropolitan Area, was strongly
urged by administration spokes-
men today before the House Pub
lie Works Committee. A plea
for a new building for the agency
also was made.
The committee, headed by Rep
resentative Wilmington of Mis-
sissippi, asked for further infor-
nation on the suitability of site
at Suitland, Md, and plans to
act on the legislation soon.
The bill under consideration
would authorize construction of a
building at a cost not exceeding
$11.5 million which would come
from the trust fund of the Bu-
reau of Old Age and Survivors In
surance. No new taxes would be
needed, the committee was told.
Reynolds and Mitchell Testify.
Testifying for the legislation
were w. E. Reynolds. commits
sioner of Public Buildings of
General Services Administration,
and w. L. Mitchell, deputy Com
missioner of the Social Security
Administration.
They explained that the quar-
tiers in Baltimore are inadequate,
inefficient and costly. Situated on
the waterfront in an old ware
house. the Offices are subject to
noise, fumes and fire hazard. Mr..
Mitchell said that if fire there
should destroy the social security
records of more than IS million
persons it would cause a loss to
them and their families of mil
lions of dollars.
The project was considered in
the 80th Congress. The House
Public Works Committee approved
somewhat similar bill and sent
it to the House floor. But the
measure never became law.
Committee members questions
indicated that they favored the
legislation. Representative Mack,

upon ourselves to do our part and
to pray that men will use the
finding, of science for mans cure

happier world for tomorrow with
health and peace and abundant

In his statement, Bishop Dun
said:
1T (cancer) is still an un-
conquered and evil power. One of
the urgent needs is for more ex-
tended and intensified research
to discover cause and cure. Such
study is of great concern to in
