Says Bigotry
Absent From
1852 Election
Leaders OF 3 Faiths Make
Statement Praising High
Level OF The Campaigns

NEW YORK - NC) - Promi-
nent Catholic, Protestant and Jew
ish personages issued a joint state
ment here praising the absence of
bigotry from the 1852 presidential
campaign, and urging continued eff
forts by religious and civic groups
to assure that all political cam
paigns will be conducted on the
same high plane"
Catholic signers of the statement
were Bishop Edwin V. O'Hara of
Kansas City, Mo-, and DR.. George
N. Shuster, president of Hunter
College, New York. The other
signerS were the Rt. Rev. Henry
Knox Sheriff., president of the Ma
tional Council of Churches of
Christ in the U.SA.; DR.. Arthur
S. Flemming, chairman of the
Councils Division OF Christian Life
and Work; Jacob Blaustein. presi-
dent of the American Jewish Com
mittee; and Rabbi Simon G.. Kra-
mer, president of the Synagogue
Council of America.
During the 1852 campaign" the
statement said, "the major candi-
dates scrupulously avoided appeal
ing to the intolerance of the preju-
diced. There were no slurs against
any racial or religious groups. The
climate of opinion was totally OPP
posed to bigotry and demonstrated
that our American citizenry cher
ishes the religious ideal of the
brotherhood of man and the Fa-
therhood of God. We are proud
of these things, and of the fact
that those who speak for religion
have demonstrated their concern
for the welfare of our entire citi-
zenry.
"Civic organizations and fair
election campaign committees in
many communities contributed to
the rejection of bigotry. We urge
religious and civic institutions to
continue this process of public edu-
cation, to the end that our nation,
while continuing to enjoy frank
political discussion, may conduct
election campaigns on a constantly
higher level of honesty, dignity
and fairness. We look forward to
the time when all campaigns, in
cluding state and local, will be con-
Quoted on the high plane that was
set by the presidential candidates
of 1882"

explained, comes through prayer
and meditation which are provided
in closed retreat. The retreat
movement, he added, has only one
aim-Io assist the Church in pro-
ducing saints
Bishop Wright said that the God

Of the classroom or the study hall.
He said the Church as in the
days Of Christ. products saints in
proportion to the need of the day.
II If is true. he said. that these
times are most evil then it should
produce the most saints"
He said:
Saints consecrste and preserve
the world The day there are no
saints marks the end of the
world"
In days of evil, he told his lis
teners, the wise watch for pro-
grams that produce saints and
that is the program o. the closed
retreat movement.
He said there are today untold
4 thousands" Of saints in homes. in
4 professions, in marriage. in careers
who are living by the truth brought
by Christ.
He recalled the recent words of
Pope Plus XII:
Never in the course of the his
tery of humanity have events re-
quired on the part of women so
much initiative and daring, so
much fidelity, moral strength, spir-
it Of sacrifice and endurance of
all kinds of sufferings in a
wtrd sc much heroism
This is another way, the Bishop
said of saying that never was
there need for so much sanctity
among women as there is in our
day He added;
THAT greater need is already
being met Gods grace has not been
lacking. It has been proportioned
to the need, nor have women in
orr day failed TO initiate the cor
respondence with grace which their
sisters gave of old The Church
is still producing her saints in
numbers consistent with the need
of the world and the glory of
Ccd."
/ Drawing a parallel with Christ
and His Church, he said the
Church is. still taunted with the
same reproof as that with which
His enemies Knocked His dying
hours. This man is perverting the
nation" In the face OF the Church's
claim TO give saints to the world,
critics say:
"The Church is dead, or at least
is dying The fire of Pc cost no
longer burns in and around her.

The greatest zeal in recruiting
slave laborers is shown by the So

NOTES
Bv Boe THOMAS


HOLLYWOOD R - Talk Of the
town this week was the continuing
feud between Mario Lama and
MGM.
Such hassles are always good
fuel for conversation in Hollywood,
which dearly loves a fight. Com
mented Humphrey Bogart: Lam
za's working it all wrong. He
should have decided long ago
whether or not he wanted to do
the picture ('The Student Prince').
But it's not a good idea to walk

Bogart should know. His running
battle with Warner Brothers has
enlivened the town for more than
a decade, and he Is tops as tao
tician in studio battles. But de-
spite a dozen or more suspensions,
he still retains contract with
Warmers. That Is seldom true with
other studio battlers.
MGM has had more than its
share of temperamental stars. A
notable case was Judy Garland.
The studio put up with her out.
bursts during the lush days, but
took 4 firmer stand when times
began to get tough. One day she
failed to show UP after lunch on
the "Annie Get Your Gun" set.
She was ousted from the picture
and replaced with Betty Hutton.
The studio also tussled with her
over her excess poundage when
she made Summer Stock" The
picture was a headache from start
to finish, and Miss Garland was
given her freedom when 1t was
over.
James Cagney was a prime bat
tier In his heyday at Warmers.
Once he left the studio and sought
work elsewhere. No other major
studio would hire him. since they
feared legal complications. So
