CINCINNATI - {NC) ~ Father
Daniel A. Lord, ST.. famed youth

In an interview at Xavier Uni

clared that in his oninion "TV has

his job for years was TO stop kids
from sitting and TO get them NOV

stands and on TO the playing
field" Now he sees The attractions
of TV reducing them TO inactivity
again.
And he complains tha, even in
school programs too few children
are given active parts in projects
that should take in as much of the
student body as possible. During
the Marian Year he has been stag
ing dramas and other pageants
which frequently excee led a cast Of
a thousand students.
Father Lord, who at 90 recent

lungs, said he was advised by his
doctors TO keep on keeping on.
White haired, pink-cheeked and
extremely vigorous. he is turning
his attention now to adults rather

seen one of the Fathers or Broth
ers in a hospital wearing large
red cross on their habits, you saw
a member of the Order of st. Ca
mlllus. The international Red Cross
took its badge from St Camillus
but spoiled all of its meaning by
cutting IT down TO keep everyone
from remembering the First Red
Cross on Calvary. Young men in
terested in giving their lives for
the sick should look into the Or

Protestant groups upon the Colon
bian people 1t that time was:
Accept The militant proselytizinE
OF the American Protestant mis-
sionaries, or run the risk of dis
favor with the citizenry Of the
United States through bad press
representation. 1t was , choice
that was resented by the Colom-
bian people.
Typical of this attitude were
the comments made by a Colon
bian Wspaper correspondent
when the restrictions on Protestant
groups there were labeled by a
minister as "anti-American."
1T is certainly not .anti-Ameri-
can" be wrote, II may be 'un-
American in The sense that it Is
unlimited States" but it is not
'un-Colombian. The trouble be-
gan when individuals and interests
started to come in from the out
side to change things. What they
asked was that Colombia change
its basic law which law had
presented no problem in Colombia
lin order that they might intro
duce their new and alien ideas"
DR., Paul S. Letiz, head of the
history department at Loyola Uni
versity, Chicago, in an article
which ne wrote for America maga-
zine recently, made several sug-
gestions for solution of the relig-
ious disturbance in Colombia. He
wrote:
In Colombia there is no good
reason why moderate councils cam
rot come to prevail in the religious
conflict, as they have now done in
politics. The aggressiveness and
iil-advised zeal of some of the
more extremist of the Sects should
be tempered in the interest of
order. Practices that rouse the
Catholic populace to anger should
be abandoned. There should be a
willingness to regard Catholic CO.
lombia as a Christian country with
cultural and spiritual legacy
which is very dear to its people
and which they wish to preserve.
"On the other hand, there can be
no justification for violence. The
policy of the Government of
Colombia can also be attuned TO
moderation The Holy Father has
indicated that there is no absolute
duty of the state to suppress error,
and failure to impede error by
civil and coerciye laws can be
justified for the common good.
In Colombia, this great good would
seem TO be peace after years Of
strife and bloodshed.

Hilton Named fol Head
| Hotel SfatIer Chain
In Board Shakeup
BY ihs Associated Press

NEW YORK. Aug. Conrad
N. Hilton yesterday was elected
president Of Hotels Statler Co.,
Inc, which owns and operates
hostelries in eight cities making
Mr.. Hilton the boss of. a chain of
% hotels with assets totaling
more than sta million.
Mr.. Hilton was named to head
the Statler chain at a special
meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors. replacing Arthur r. Doug
las, brother OF Supreme Court
Justice Douglas.
The Shakeup In the Statler
management was preceded by
the election of five new direc-
tors. three of them officials Of
the Hilton Hotels Corp. William
L. Marcy resigned as Statler
chairman.
Plan Contested.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Hilton an
nounced he had signed con-
tract to buy slightly less than
SO per cent Of the outstanding
Statler stock. His plan to attain
Statler control had been con-
tested by Webb & Knapp, New
York realty firm headed by VIII
liam Zeckendorf.
But Mr.. Hilton had "cornered"
the Statler stock three days be-
fore a special meeting of Statler
stockholders who had been sum-
moned to approve sale of the
chain to the realty company.
Soon after yesterdays meet
ing the shareholders began, it
became evident that Mr.. Hill
toms control of the Statler chain
was considerably larger than the
753, 900 shares he contracted to
buy from trustees for the Statler
family.
Two-thirds Control Shown.
Joseph p. Binns. vice president
Of Hilton Hotels Corp, voted
proxies for 1.061, 1877 Statler
shares against a resolution which
would have paved the way for
sale of the chain to the zeck-
endorf interests. :,
It thus became apparent that
Mr.. Hilton controlled more than
two-thirds of Statler's outstand-
ing 1851 ,226 shares.
After the election Of Mr.. Hill
| ton-who bought his first hotel
in Cisco, Tex, As years ago-he
and seven other officers Of the
Hilton organization were elected
to key posts in Statler.
In the preliminary proceed
ings, both Mr.. Hilton and Mr..
zeckendorf had offered to buy
up the Statler stock at $50 a
share.
