tion of Reformation Lutheran
Church invites you to worship
with them this Sunday morning at

convenience.

of the needy around the world, un-

Mr.. White said that Mr.. Becker,
the departments legal advisor,
would make his own answer to
the POAU letter. He added that
he did not know whether or not
that answer would be made pub
lie.
The Press officer went on to
tell newsmen that bishops in the
United States do not represent
Vatican City. Thus hey do not
register as agents Of a foreign
government"
The Lateran Treaty, to which
the POAU letter referred, was
also commented on by MI. White.
He pointed out that the United
States is not a party to that
treaty, made June Z, 1929, be-
tween Benito Mussolini and Pope
Plus XI.
"This was a treaty between the
Vatican and the Italian govern
ment which set forth the boun-
diaries of Vatican City" he said.
One reporter then wanted to
know how long the United States
had recognized the sovereignty
of the Vatican.
In answer to this question, Mr..
White gave reporters the follow
ing background information con-
corning diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and the
Vatican.
"A consular relationship was
established as far back as 1897.
That vert on up to 1848 when
a resident minister was appointed.
This diplomatic post ended in
1867 when Congress refused to
appropriate funds for the mis-
sion.
'The next is history. In 1899,
MIR. Myron c. Taylor was ap-
pointed Personal Representative
IF President Roosevelt, but with
out diplomatic recognition. This
was a personal relationship rather
than a diplomatic one.
"Mr. Taylor retained his post
until January, 1850. Then, in
1851 General Mark Clark was
nominated as Ambassador to the
Vatican. His name was withdrawn
AZ his request, and there was
no Senate. action on it."
POAU had charged that the
Presidents signature on the bill
would have the effect of making
the Catholic Church a foreign
state" in American law.

Solemn Requiem Mass for Mrs.
Elizabeth M. Kelley Shea, SIS, wild
ow of Navy Comdr. John j. Shea,
World War II hero and author of
one of the most famous war let
tiers, was offered in st. James
Church here.
Archbishop Richard ]. Cushing
of Boston offered the Mass.
Mrs. Shea is survived by one
son, John, now a senior at Bos-
ton College. It was to the son,
then five years old, that Comdr.
Shea wrote the letter which be-
came famous as Letter To
Jackie"
The letter was written shortly
before Comdr. Shea was killed in
action on September Is, 1912,
when the aircraft carrier Wasp
was sunk off Guadalcanal.
In the letter, Comdr. Shea coun-
seled his son: "Take good care of
mother. Be a good boy and grow
up to be a good young man. Be a
leader in everything that is good
in life. Be a good Catholic and
you can't help being a good Amer
ican."
Shortly after Comdr. Shea's
death, Boston College announced
it had reserved a scholarship for

"Was it you who was the chap

the Dutch priest inquired.
Father Schultz confessed that
he was a bit skeptical how his own
German name would go over with
the prisoners in Dachau.
The two priests then recalled
meeting at the infamous concen-
tration camp. Father Hendrikx
arranged the altar for Father
Schultz to offer Mass on liberia
ton day at the camp. And the
Dutch priest also recalled that
Father Schultz presented him
with two cartons of cigarettes for
his kindness. 1.-Two whole car

Father Hendrikx, who came to

inevitable exclamation.

non-whites are the educated mi
nority.
But as things stand, even high
ly educated non-whites are not
admitted to other lay societies.
Devoted and high principled
though their members may be,
they are mot ready" for the lift
ing of this difficult barrier.
Despite the segregation, how
ever, most of these societies have
a fine record of work for their
non-European brothers and sis
tiers. Many great works of Cath
Ollie charity among the underpriv-
ileged non-white races are partly
financed by the efforts of these
societies. For example, the mis-
sion funds pledged in the main
by South Africa's white Catho-
lies for the African schools when
subsidies were withdrawn by the
government were described by
Archbishop Denis Hurley, O.M.I.,
of Durham as the greatest collec-
tive act of charity in the history
of the Church in this land"
Certain Catholic hospitals con-
Quoted by religious orders prac-
tice apartheid. But here again, if
they did not they would get no
white patients. And there is al
ways another side to the picture:
a great hospital, for example, run
by a congregation of Sisters for
whites only, is regarded by the
nuns as the means of financing
their main work "a wonderful
home for chronically crippled
non-European children.

ment's segregation policies as
"infrinsically evil"


But aside from the Bishops de-
fiance of the law empowering the
government to ban Negroes from
churches in white residential
areas in the cities - the conse-
quences of which cannot yet be
determined - the Hierarchy's
special word" to white Catholics
on segregation, carefully worded
and qualified though it was, may
prove dynamite in the life of the
Church here. For even Catholics
are not immune from race preju-
dice.
Now that the Bishops have pub
licly admitted and criticized the
existence of racial division in
Catholic Church life, the facts of
the matter are likely to be aired
and subject to violent %controver-
sy. What are they?
/ have yet to come across an
example of apartheid in a Catho-
lie church. Generally, all races
worship side by side. But in some
mission churches, where congre-
cations are overwhelmingly COM
posed of African natives, it is the
whites who may worship sepa-
rately - for instance in a side
chapel.
The primitive Banfv faithful,
however. devovf and fervent,
live very close to nature and
have different habits Of hy-
giene from those Of European
extraction - an explanation, IL
not . Justification. for the sep
srstion. But where whites pre-
dominate, apartheid in church.
es is rare.
Impartial testimony to this
came from reporters of the native
weekly, Drum, who visited vari-
Gus white" churches to see what
would happen. They were elected
from some Dutch Reformed
churches, but had no complaints
about Catholic ones.
Catholic schools are, without
exception, conducted on racial
lines. This can be defended in

South African Bishops Stand
Racism Seen Doubly Historic

general on the grounds that, by
and large, the African native and
the white South African repre-
sent very different levels of Gull
ture and civilization. But even an
exceptional advanced African
child-the son, say, of an African
university graduate - would not
be admitted to a white Catholic
school.
In many cases this would be
because - unlike the mission
schools - many white Catholic
schools depend on state grants,
which would unquestionably be
withdrawn if the Church tried to
introduce indignation. But what
ever the Catholic ideal or the
wishes of the Bishops, the real
reason for this is the plain truth
that if the Church tried to intro
duce non-white pupils into a
white school, that school would
very soon have no white pupils
left. Nh
In general, very few white
African S. even those with great
goodwill toward the African
are psychologically ready for in
tegration. And thus far the
Church here has accepted the
fact that if she is to have white
children in her schools they must
be separate. b
The same applies to many Cath
Ollie lay societies. Exceptions in
Guide the nationwide Society of
st. Vincent de Paul-whose main
business, charity, has proved
large enough to overcome differ
ences in color - and the Kobe
Association, the graduates and
professional peoples organiza-
ton.
This latter - togethe. with the
National Catholic Federation of
Students - is additional evil
dence that racial prejudice is in
versely proportional to education.
1t is of course easier for the men,

to bridge the gulf because the
