Bishop Accuses K. Of {.
OF Racial Discrimination
By the Associated Pres,

CLEVELAND, Feb. 27.-An
auxiliary bishop of the Cleveland
Catholic diocese says the knights
of Columbus have refused to
grant a charter to a local coun-
Gil because of racial discrimina-
ton.
Bishop Floyd L. Begin was
quoted in the weekly newspaper
of the diocese, the Universe
Bulletin. as saying an inter-
racial council was refused the
charter because Negroes were
involved. The paper quoted him
as saying:
1.-THE only reason they're keep
ing them out is their color. Any
one who denies that is a pussy
footing liar"
Two Of the three Negro appli-
cants who were turned down
started organizing the inter-
racial K. of c. council here. The
third Negro raised the Jim Grow
question and withdrew, the paper
said.
Two weeks ago, meeting in
st. Louis, the K. of C. supreme
board rejected an appeal from
the interracial council for a
charter for its membership of
1873, about 81 Negro.
