70 Negro Priests
Laborine In US.
Foreign Missions

Bay st. Louis, Miss. AMP
According to the St Augustine
Catholic Messenger. a monthly
magazine published here, the
number Of Negro priests now la
boring in the United States and in
foreign mission fields now totals
70. and represents an increase Of
nearly 100 per cent over the total
II years ago.
Quoting figures from Gods
Men Of Color" a book written by
Father Albert S. Foley, S. j., Pm.
D, and published by Farrar,
straus and Co, N. Y, the Mes
senger noted these facts:
Twenty-nine Of the 70 are mem
bers Of the Divine Word (sVDJ;
20, members Of religious orders,
and "a are diocesan priests. The
figures also show IL Of the total
laboring in foreign mission fields.
The Divine Word priests are dedi-
Gated to missionary work.
The magazine also states that a
total Of 40, or more than half Of
these U. S. Priests, are former
students Of the Divine Word. (St
Augustine's seminary here.)
Perhaps the most nlustrious
alumnus Of the seminary is Bish-
op Joseph Oliver Bowers, s.V.D.,
DID, Of Accra, Ghana, who was
ordained a priest in 1889 and con-
secrated a bishop at St. Angus
tines in 1883.

However with much persistent

great desire.
He received much inspiration
from two favorite slogans -- the
first one was given by his mother.
This was, pray as II everything

The other he used as a motto

Culver Charges
Double Deal In
Civil Rights Fight

JOnn M. SulNeTt CNalTEldu oA
the Ramsey County Republican
Civil Rights Committee, criticized
liberal Democratic Senators for
making a deal with Southern
Democrats to swap votes for Hells
Canyon in exchange for voting
against civil rights
This double dealing" is an at
tempt to bury the Negro Of the
South in Hells Canyon" Mr.. Cul-
yer pointed to two recent news
articles in the st. Paul daily news
papers to support his point
One was the Drew Pearson Col
umn which appeared on June goth,
in which Pearson said, 'Missis-
sippi's cigar-puffing big Jim East
land has proposed deals on Hells
Canyon in order to get trial by
jury inserted in the civil rights
bill"
The other was a statement by
Republican National Committee
Chairman Meade Alcorn, which
appeared in the Pioneer-Press on
June "a.
Those making "a deal to swap
off civil rights for Helrs Canyon"
were Sens Morse COreD, Kennedy
Mass, Magnuson Wash }, Muir
ray CMont), OMahoney (WyoD
and Mansfield, Alcorn pointed out.
The use of the Negro as a poll
teal football is coming to an end
because the Negro is recognizing
who is trying to use him for votes
to win elections and who are his
real friends" Culver said.
Culver continued: playing both
ends against the middle is an old
Democratic trick, but if they
think they are going to bury the
right of the American Negro to
cast his ballot in the South, in
Helrs Canyon, they are grossly
mistaken"
Culver claimed. The Essen
hover Administration has not
made a lot of pretty promises to
get the vote on civil rights while
it plays the tune of the Eastlands
in the South. II has delivered
while the Democrats talk A typi-
| cal illustration Of the Democrats
attitude is the fact that Senator
Kefauver, the Democratic Vice
Presidential nominee campaigned
in Minnesota and the nation for
| the Negro vote. However, upon
returning to the Senate he voted
Just a few days ago for the trial
by jury amendment We can now
see who delivers results and who
delivers a lot Of sugar coated
campaign oratory."

Minnesota to repudiate his state

expect to bury civil rights this
session. BY his support Of the
Hells Canyon Dam, Governor
Freeman is as guilty of selling
out" the Negro as are the double
dealing liberal Senators that sold

The real test Of these so-called
liberal Senator'S sincerity" Cul-
yer said. will come not in their
denial Of a deal, but rather in
their vote when the civil rights

The move by the liberal civil
rights supporters in the Senate
caught the usually astute and a.
lert southern Democrats off base
Some other liberals, Wayne
Morse ID, Ore) and Kefauver
ID, Tenn, Kennedy ID, Mass
surprised observers by lining up
with the southerners, but not a
single southerner detected.
All of them voted right down
the line against the motion which
resulted in the house measure be-
ing placed on the Senate calendar.
The SOutherners used every
thing from emotional appeals
that they really loved Negroes;
the old story about, "ah was
nursed by a Negro nanny" TO
the charge that both parties
were playing politics for the
Negro vote.
Practically all of the southern
senators who were apparently
speaking for local Dixie con-
sumption gave long winded disser-
tations on the propriety Of the
Senate using rule XIV whom
most admitted was a valid rule,
but one which, they asserted,
should not be used because its use
in this instance might cause chaos
in the Senate.
Not a single southern Senator
except Sen. Kefauver d., Tenn.
admitted. even by inference, that
thousands of southern American
Negroes were kept from the polls
by various tricks, threats anc
sometime by murders and threats
Of violence.
