Catholic Report On Indignation

Union City, N. J.-In a
special, five state report
on Southern Catholics and
1ntegration", The Sign, ma
tional Catholic magazine pub
lished here, reports in it's
July issue that while some
southern dioceses are def
nitely moving toward racial
Indignation, others are going
slowly and a few = in the face
of strong public pressures-
are following a policy of
wait and see."
The report, which covers
the states of Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Georgia,
and Virginia, also reveals
that in many instances Catho-
lie laymen in the South con-
slider t h e m s elves "more
Southern than Catholic" in
the matter of ending racial
segregation.
The general attitude of
Negro Catholics, as indicated
by the report, is not in favor
of social mixing but is never
theless against legalized seq
regation.
The brightest aspect of the
whole picture is in the area
of integrated worship. In
most of the states surveyed
there remain separate Ne
gro parishes; however, Negro
Catholics are perfectly free
to attend Mass and other re-
ligious services in any white"
Catholic parish. And South
ern Catholic bishops support
them emphatically in exercis-
ing this right.
Here is The Sign reports
pattern by states:
Louisiana: most
Catholic state of the south
more Catholic Negroes
than any other state al
though Catholic leaders have
been champions of racial JUS
tice, most Catholics would
accept Indignation only reluc-
family"
"The brightest spot is
youths attitude" the report
asserts. Another genera.
ton will see a great change in
the general Catholic attitude
But at present, putting the
Church's interracial program
into action is no simple, sure
process"
Tennessee: According tc
The Sign report Catholic Ne.
groes disagree about the wis
dom of migrating parochial
schools, "but they are agreed
on one thing - they want
their rights as first class citi-

BY BILL FUCHS

Horace Ashenfelter and Fred
Wilt. both past the age normal
fy associated with running at a
fast clip. will hook up again In
the Acacia Invitation two-mile
run. one of the features Of the
ninth annual Star Games jan
uary 81 in the National Guard
Armory.
Entries from the two FBI
agents arrived at the meet
chairman's desk yesterday.
Wilt is a 35-year-old gaffer
who used to run Ashenfelter
ragged, then switched to the
mile at time when Don Gehr-
mann. the ex-Wisconsin ace
and three-time winner of the
Star Games mile, ruled supreme.
Wilt said farewell to the mile by
winning the National AAU title
In 1854 and since has been try
ing without much success to re-
gain his mastery over Ashen-
felter in the longer distance.
Wilt appeared to regain his
hex over the American indoor
record-setter in The Star Games
last year, but that was no indi-
cation of things to come.
Ashenfelter, who will be 80
two days after competing here.
took over for keeps after that,
winning eight indoor meets and
scoring in three big outdoor
meets, including the Compton
Relays in 8:49.6, an American
outdoor record.
That Ash is endurable is above
question. If there were any
skeptics he convinced them with
q smashing victory over a 6l2-
mile -crusted course in
Buffalo in November.
That marked Ashenfelter's
first AAU cross-country cham
pionship as he led his New York
Athletic Club to an easy victory
over the Chicago Track Club.
Wilt. also Of NYAC, took the
early lead and held it until he
was only 200 yards from home.
There Ash, with a tremendous
show Of reserve strength took
over, leaving his longtime friend
fioundering some so yards behind
at the finish. Ashenfelter was
clicked at 1891 for the dis
lance. So seconds faster than the
record for the event set by Wilt
In 1858.
Ash owns the world indoor
record Of 1904. set in the New
York Athletic Club games in
Madison Square Garden two
