Archbishop 0'Boy|e
Urges Strenuous Drive
For Negro Catholics

The Most Rev. Patrick A.
O'Boyle, Archbishop of Washing
ton, yesterday called on Catholics
to make a strenuous drive for
more Negro members in the Cath
olic church.
Pope Plus XII has not sum-
moned missionaries of other ma
tions to come to the United
States for this work." Archbishop
O'Boyle declared. This is our
own job. For anyone who sin
cerely wishes the blessing of God
upon this beloved country of ours.
I can think of no better way of
invoking upon our land the smile
of divine favor, than for each one
of us to manifest deep, abiding
and active spiritual charity for.
our Negro people"
Pointing out that there are
about 13 million Negroes in the
United States, Archbishop O'Boyle
said only 350.000 are Catholics.
That means that out of every
100 Negroes, there are about three
Catholics" he noted. "It is a dis
turbing and saddening figure"
The prelate asserted "our Cath
olic doctrine of the Fatherhood of
God finds its inalienable compile
ment in the brotherhood of man.
That word brotherhood is not an
abstraction which anyone may
twist to suit his wishes. It is a
hard and indefectible fact that
God has made mankind one by
nature, that He has ordained
every man to the same destiny
through the mission of One Lord
and Mediator Jesus Christ
In the Catholic unity of the
Church nothing could be most
hostile to this divine religion than
any dividing factor which would
wall UP men into exclusive tenn
poral groups. racial, religious or
otherwise. tearing limb from limb
the body of Christ" Archbishop
O'Boyle continued. 1.-THE church
is designed by God as the frame
work of a society for all religious
mankind. 1t Is given to no man
to force a divinely fashioned
thing into the shape of something
else which men prefer"
Archbishop O'Boyle spoke at a
religious vocation rally in st.
Matthews Cathedral 1t marked
the opening of religious vocation
week in the archdiocese. Purpose
of the week is to focus attention
on the religious life and on the
need for more volunteers for the
priesthood, brotherhood and sis
terhood of the church. The Rev.
Philip M. Hannah is director of

role and function has changed
over the years. Originally occu-
pied with clerical duties, they now
have turned to policy-making."

As for Eve Warren, she came into Uncle
Malachi's life the way most people did Eve
was struggling to keep her little greeting-card
shop and circulating library across the street
from the hot clutch of her creditors, so she
became one of Malachi's clients. When his
eyes failed, she felt stern duty; there were
few enough booklovers in the world.
So she began dropping in on him after clos
ing her shop, and she would read to him. At
first he was suspicious; but when he saw that
she was fool like DR.. Ben, old Malachi
rinned, and after that he would even offer
her with antique ceremony cup of strong
hot water which he alleged was tea
UNCLE Maachis black heart cut its last
caper one evening while Eve was reading

find the pawnbroker on the floor, his head be-
tween two heaps of books, eyes popping and

the world he had assembled in his rooms.
As he aged and eyesight withered, the
tempo of his reading increased; for old Mala-
chi had set himself the fine labor of reading
every famous book ever printed, beginning
with the more exciting ones. A magnificent
lunacy, which went with his spidery mind and
mystifying sense of humor - he was always
grinning, chuckling, or laughing, although no
one ever knew what the joke was
Uncle Malachi's clients were fond of saying
that the old miser had no heart, which was
libel. He had heart - as DR.. Ben Bernard,
whose shingle dropped two doors up the street,
was prepared to testify - one of the worst
hearts, Dr. Ben said. in his experience,
valvular monstrosity and black as the devils.
But Uncle Malachi only cackled. You're
fool, Doctor" DR.. Ben retorted with sigh
that if he were not fool he would be practic-
ing somewhere else, and he continued to treat
the old pawnbroker as if his monthly bills
were honored.

in which he worked and lived, he was said to
be Wealthy. Because he was an old cross

mouse he was said to be Miser And since
his one notable passion was the collecting OF
books - not rare books, or first editions, or
books in perfect condition, but any books in
any condition - he was said to be Queer.
IT WAS all true - he was rich, he was a
miser, and he was queer; but there was more
to it than that His riches came from selling
real estate - Manhattan real estate - which
his great-grandfather had bought; he was
miser, because pawnbrokers are born accumu-
lators; and his queerness lay not in collect
ing books but in reading them.
Books swarmed like honey-bees over his
pawnshop and living quarters upstairs, which
consisted of two impossibly cluttered cubby-
holes Here under jackets of dust could be
found the collected works of such as Dumas,
Scott Cooper, Dickens, Poe, Stevenson, Kip

 Meet To Formulate Policies For Housing

Members of the Alaska Hous- ing Authority's Board of Com missioners began meeting in An chorage on Monday of this week, in what E. Glenn Wilder termed to be 'the most important meet ing of the Authority since its or ganizational meeting in 1945. " Plans for the civilian housing program recently authorized by Congress are to be adopted, MT. Wilder said
 With the adoption of formal policies, full and complete ap- plication of the Alaska Housing Act will be inaugurated," MT. Wilder stated.
 It is expected that Palmer's status with respect to eligibility for housing funds can be more clearly defined following this meeting. MT. Wilder has prom ised to meet with the Valley Chamber of Commerce at his first opportunity after the conclusion of this Board meeting.
