Council Of Churches
Studies Pope S Stand
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The
National Council Of Churches
said yesterday it is making an
extensive study of Pope Plus
XII's recent statement on the
church's Jurisdiction.
In it, the Pope said the
church's province cannot be
limited to things strictly reli-
gious" but must embrace all
matters, such as social, national
and international questions,
which involve moral law.
DR.. Claud Nelson, head of the
National Councils religious lib
erty department, said Protes-
tants generally will welcome
the Pope's affirmation of Chris
tian rights and responsibilities. I"
But he said important differ
ences" are apparent and added:
'Protestants are compelled to
ask what may be the effect in
the United States Of the Pope's
affirmation of the necessity of
obedience to the bishop. What
specific commands will bishops
issue with respect to voting on
men and measures?"

would seek Qualification of such

Democrats Seek q Party Chief
Royburn Says Chairman With Prestige Is Needed,
One Who Will Be Respected by Pqrty and Public

ALI roads lead to Sam Ray
burn as Democrats continue
their search for a new national
chairman. The prospective
Speaker of the House is max
ing no commitments to his
many callers.
He has stated firmly his
own view. It is that the party
needs a prestige chairman who
can command wide acceptance
both with the party and the
public.
The difficulty is that nobody
has yet named this indispensa-
BILE man. Unless he is located
before the national commit
tee meets in New Orleans De-
cember 3 and 4, a nominating
committee will probably be
named to search for him, and
the present chairman. Steve
Mitchell, will be drafted for a
few months more Of service.
Mr.. Rayburn heard yester-
day the case for James Finne-
gan, president of the Phila-
delphia City Council, and
one of the modernizers of
the Pennsylvania organization
which has just elected its first
Governor in many years. For
mer Senator Francis Myers
Evening star., 1954-11-19

and Mayor David Lawrence of
Pittsburgh stated 1t.
They cited Mr.. Finnegan's
experience and fine personal
character. They argued that
he would bring to the job an
aura of victory.
Mr.. Finnegarl probably rep
resents at this moment the
first choice of those Democrats
who believe that the chairman
ought to be, as usually he has
been in late years, an organi-
zation veteran and a Catholic.
He is agreeable to Mr.. Mitch
ell whose first choice, Indiana
National Committeeman Paul
Butler. was vetoed by former
President Truman.
The above group does not
include all Democrats who are
Catholics. Various Senators of
that faith have assured Mr..
Rayburn that they do not con-
slider it at all necessary that
the chairman should be Catho-
lie. The same assurance was
given him by another of Thurs
days callers, a leading Catho-
lie layman who is an expert
in the field Of public relations.
It Is probably true. though
