OF Messing Troops

AMMAN, Jordan, Oct. %. (P).

charges today that large con-

Jordan are each allowed two
battalions of not more than 300
officers and men in the JeruSa-

Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe

night that United States-ISraeli

Condemned At
Religious Meet

NEW YORK-(NC) - Represen-
tatives of more than 100 religious
Orders and congregations in the
United States strongly condemn
ed racial discrimination on the
part of some communities. They
passed a resolution declaring that
there is no reason under God"
why any person should be "re-
fused" by any seminary or re-
ligious community on the grounds
of race or color.
The resolution was voted unani-
mously at a closed session for
major Religious Sisters"-includ-
ing Provincials, college and high
school presidents and other Su.
periors-in conjunction with the
third annual Institute on Religious
and Sacerdotal Vacations at Ford
ham University here. The group
declared that all problems-"real
or imaginary" concerning racial
policies of admission or placement
within religious orders "can be
met through patience, education
and the grace of Cod"
The resolution, which was
drawn up by Father John La
Farge,-S.J., associate editor of
the weekly America" and a
founder of the Catholic Inter
racial Council = was adopted fol
lowing an address by Father Raw
mond E. Bernard, ST., of st. Louis
University, st. Louis, Mo.
Father Bernard, citing cases
| from a four-year study he is max
ing. declared that some religious
/ communities have turned down
applicants because they were
Negroes. He said, however, that
in the past two or three years
there have been increasing sign:
of social awareness" among botf
Church leaders and the laity.
Father LaFarge, who addressed
the meeting on "Race Vacations,
asserted that the time to confront
the problem of racial discrimina
ton within the Church is "over
ripe" Declaring that there il
deep-seated racial prejudice II
some communities, he urged +;
more courageous and Christlike
approach to the problem.
The Jesuit editor paid tribute
to Bishop Vincent c. Waters o.
Raleigh, who recently issued 1
sternly worded warning agains'
segregation or discrimination il
churches and institutions in hi
diocese. Praising the Bishops
"firmness and kindness" in bring
ing the opposition over to hi'
side, Father LaFarge said, how
ever, that "there will always bt
an irreducible minimum of Ger
tain troublemakers." The rea
question, however, according tc
Father LaFarge, is whether /;

parish or school is to be guided
by such a NOISY minority" or
whether the majority of "ordinar-
lily good, charitable and sensible
people are to have their own
way"
Turning to the ministry of
Negro priests and Sisters, Father
LaFarge said that while Negroes
are glad to work among their own
people and do a good job of it,
"that is very different thing
from being compelled to work
only for their own people and
being excluded from ministering
to those of other races" He said
that the work of Negro priests
"will never be on a sound and
healthy footing as long as they are
compelled to feel that they are
barred from ministering to others
than those of their own race.
Father LaFarge advocated fac
ing the question of racial prejudice
squarely and examining the OBJ
jections. Experience has shown
that considerable portion of these
difficulties can be overcome simp-
ly by resolution and TACT" he said.

Census Bares
Suffering OF
Spanish In US.

WASHINGTON - NC - The /
Census Bureau has released statis-
tics which indicate in black and
white the depressed status of per-
sons of Spanish descent in the
southwestern United States.
In special study entitled "Per-
sons of Spanish Surname" COM
piled from its 1850 census figures,
the agency found that 2,239 $50
persons with Spanish family names
were residing in the five States
of the Southwest. The total num-
ber of white persons of Spanish or
Mexican origin in the Southwest,
it said, included 1897 100 natives
of the United States, 365,878 born
in Mexico, and 26,432 born in 9TH
er Latin American countries or
elsewhere. OF the 392,360 foreign
born with Spanish surnames, &c.
ass we're naturalized American cit
liens.
The figures showed that as a
group, families of Spanish descent
had less than half as much income
as the mean for the population as
whole in each of the five States
in 1949. Texas had the largest
Spanish-surname population, with
its total of 1,033,7 representing
ASP per cent of the Southwest to-
tai. Texas also had the lowest me-
dian family income for the minor
ity group-S980 a year, meaning
that while half of the families of
Mexican and Spanish origin receiv-
ed more than that, the other half
had to exc out a living on less
than $3.50. That compares with an
overall Texas median of $3.50 and
median of S3,073 for the whole
of the United States.
Just as the earnings of families
with Spanish family names stood
well below those of the population
in general, so also did their aver
age educational background. For
the five-State area the median
number of years of school COM
pleted by persons Is years old and
over in the Hispano-American
group was 5.4 as compared with a
median of 9.3 years for the coun-
try as a whole.

most score of other revolution
lists gave themselves up to the
Archbishop.
1t was only on the prelate's sec
ond hazardous trip into the coun-
try'S eastern mountains that he
was able to establish contact with
the rebels. Accompanying Arch
bishop Perez on the jeep trip were
Enrique Canto, a Catholic Action
leader, and Mr.. Friguls, a news
paperman.
Before setting out on his mis-
sion of peace, the Archbishop OBJ
tained a promise from the army
commandant in Santiago, Col. AL.
berto del Rio Chaviano, that the
rebels would receive good treat
ment and trial by civilian rather
than a military court.
Castro stated on his surrender
that he decided to escape to the
hills after the abortive revolution
because he feared he would be
shot Immediately upon capture.
Archbishop Perez, who accepted
the surrender of the rebels near
the coastal town of Siboney, bless
ed them when they were taken
prisoners by the army. He arrang.
ed for Mass to be offered at the
Moncada prison in Santiago in re
membrance of those who died in
the short-lived revolt. In addition
to the 100 dead, many were wound
ed.
Meanwhile His Eminence Man
uel Cardinal Arteaga y Betancourt
Archbishop of Havana, has issued
an appeal to priests throughout
the country to pray for peace in
their daily Masses.

WASHINGTON - (NC) ~ Pri-
vate school construction has reach
ed a record dollar level during
the first seven months of 1853, &C
cording TO Department of Com
merce figures.

struction has also increased sharp
ly in 1858. New building in this
category from January to July cost

Hospital and institutional con
struction, both public and private
continued to show marked declines
from 1852, dropping IL and % pei
