minded commissioners that Ne
groes have been barred from prom
inent positions on broadcasting
programs.
Raps "Charlatan Programs"
She also spoke out against
primitive stereotype" programs
Offered by many stations owned
by whites but oriented toward Ne
gro listeners. Among them she
listed "quack religious and char
latan programs" bait advertis-
ing programs" and base and
suggestive songs"
There are about 400 stations
catering to Negro audiences, she
stated, less than six of which are
owned and operated by Negroes.
These stations too often include on
their programs sellers of blessed
candles and good-luck charms"
and use such advertising bait as
name the tune and win a dia-
mond." These "come-on" programs
are used to lure traffic into the
store for some worthless article.
She blasted radio programs
composed of so-called race songs"
which are often borderline risque
recordings of poor taste.
Not only that, she added, but
these offensive programs are often
offered to the public by people
identified as DIR. 1--WE" Big Boy,
and Cat Man"
The moral strength of America
is at stake in the questions before
the Commission" she emphasized,
And the evil of profit obsession
appears to be the sole way of de-
termining the quality and level of
programming."
Some Of the Commissioners
seemed surprised when she re-
minded them that no Negroes hold
positions as announcers, news re-
porters, sports reporters, host en-
tertainers, religious or educational
speakers on network broadcasting
As guardians of public
interest, she challenged the COM
missioners to eliminate the prac-
tice Of excluding Negroes in net
work broadcasting.
FEC Has Power To Act
She assured them that they have
vast power to act in this direction
since Congress has given them the
to issue licenses and to
review performances Of licensees
as a condition to license renewal.
Chairman John c. Doerfer con-
tended tina. they did not have the
power to explore this issue since
they are not permitted to raise
the question Of race or religion on
station programming. That, he
said, would be a violation of a
specific law.
Mrs. Weeden said she made no
claim to go into the law on this
subject, but If the commission
should adopt a democratic attitude
and make their position known it
would certainly help eliminate
some of the problems Of minori-
ties.
The chairman claimed it is diff
cult to try to dictate the business
policy of a station. And he rebelled
against the democratic approach
of throwing your weight around"
to accomplish any end.

Pope Receives
Another Auto

VATICAN CITY, NC)--His
Holiness Pope John XIII has
received another automobile,
a French-made Citroen Pres
tige, as a gift from its manu-
facturer.
The Citroen was presented
by representatives of the
French firm and Pope John
personally administered the
ritual blessing on the vehicle
after he accepted the gift.
In a brief exchange of
words, the Pontiff expressed
his thanks to the donors and
gave his good wishes for their
industrial firm.
Earlier in November, the
Pope received a Fiat as a
gift from the manufacturer of
that Italian-made automobile.

Of books for the Church in
Italy, docs not forget the con-
dition of human nature wound
ed by original sim"
Earlier His Eminence AL
fredo Cardinal 0ttaviani, Sec
rotary of the Sacred Congre-
CATION Of the Holy Office, told
the book censors that the
Church's effort TO guard
against error is an act which
is essential to her nature.
THE BOOK EXAMINERS
addressed by the Pope and
Cardinal had come to Rome
for a four-day meeting to dis
cuss the problems in censor
ing modern literature. Among
the problems the more than
10 priests and Religious dealt
with were: relativism and lax
ity in modern morals, the dog
mas that are most threatened
today, dangers of deviations
in the Biblical field, philoso-
phic and scientific deviations,
and social and educational
positions diverging from the
teachings of the Church.
The Pontiff told the censors
that their job is "of the high
est value because they
participate in the material
concern of the Church in guild
ing and instructing sons in
the knowledge Of the truth
and in protecting them from
avery danger"
The Pope said that the re-
viewing of books is necessary,
but cautioned the examiners
against exaggerated severity.
He said:
THE EccLEslAsTlc re.
viewer will not permit him
self to adopt an intransigent
hardness which tears down
but does not rebuild, which
discourages but does not re-
animate, which saddens but
does not lead to repentance.
"He will, moreover, avoid
every tendency to hastinesS of
judgment so that his work
will be distinguished by in
telligence, s~ensibility and per
spicacity."
The Pope recommended
three attitudes toward the
problems of reviewing books
for the Church:
u In necessary things.

TO the "inviolabIe sancfify Of
religion, which one must up
hold and defend against every

Jewish Group
Opposes Rites
In School

NEW YORK - MC) The
Jewish Teachers Association
has asked that public schools
avoid religious ceremonies,
symbols or hymns in holiday
programs.
This year, Hanukkah, the
Jewish festival of lights, be-
gins a day after Christmas.
The Association, in a state
ment sent Nov. 27) 10 the
New York City Board of Edu-
cation, said its members are
devoted to sin

therefore believe with deep
conviction in the Importance
of religious values"
However, the statement
said, the members believe that
religion is the responsibility
of the church, the synagogue
and the home, and not of the
public school.
In past years, Jewish groups
have protested the erection
of Nativity scenes on public
school property.

Iando l.. Tibbetts asserted
in a sermon at Lakewood
Baptist church here.
DR.. Tibbetts, president of
the Baptist Seminary in Mex

deplored the opposition al
recent Baptist conventions to
q Catholic as a presidential
candidate.
He said the Baptist church
always has held that a mans
belief is his own private
business and he deplored
what he termed planting of
seeds of sectarianism and
bigotry." With Catholicism
growing as it is, he said, Bap-
fists in Texas, for example,
may some day find them
selves in the minority and
resent opposition expressed
on religious grounds to a
Baptist candidate for public
office.
DR.. Tibbetts said concern
over papal control of a
Catholic public office holder
has been much exaggera-
ted" He called for the cleo

Cardinal Ottayiani, who as
Secretary of the Holy Office
administers the affairs of the
Church organization charged
with preserving faith and
morals, told the book examin-
ers:

STRUcTS. educates and eau
tons, but it cannot limit it,
self to this alone as those
would have it do who
claim that it should trust good
sense, dignity and developed
maturity, particularly among
scholars"
He said that the world to-
day is seized by a desire for
something new, adding that
the newness is not always
harmless and in keeping with
good order. He cited the striv-
ings after new order, new
thought, relative truth, morals
for the times and a new
theology" He said that even
the foundations of Christian
knowledge and the source of
revelation are not immune to
the destructive tendencies of
this quest for the new. He
also said:
But the Church continues
to do what it has always done
and what it must do. Woe to
it should it not do so. 1t is an
act of life, of its own life and
the life of its children. 1t is
an act of the teaching author
ity Of the Church, which is
the teacher in the name and
role Of Christ.
"IF 1T is NOT A TEACHER,
it is no longer a church. If it
does not correct, it is no long
err a teacher, To teach means
also to correct because truth
is not offered to men without
the rejection of errors"
Turning to the question OF
the Index of Forbidden Books,
he noted that some people
claim it is so much dead
wood, that 80 per cent of its
sanctions are outdated. He
continued:
ut SHOULD BE NOTED.
HOWEVER, that what is dead
wood today was green yester-
day and that, although one
could revise it (the Index to-
day, this does not mean that
in the past the Church, de-
flying unpopularity, did not
act honestly, as time has prov
ed.
WHAT THE CHURCH CON-
DEMNED yesterday filled the
world yesterday, and in con-
demning it the Church show
ed how great its courage
was.
PRACTICALLY EVERY
ONE CAN READ today, but
very few know how to think.
Especially in subjects for
study those who learn by rote
or possess a superficial knowl-
edge are still less erudlte
than some of the peasants
and. differing from the peas

they are less teachable be-
cause they think they know

ENGELHARD AND HATTERAS
DREDGING WORK TO START

WILMINGTON. - Plans were
announced here October z, the
Corps of Engineers for approx
mately 100000 cubic yards OF
maintenance dredging in three wa
terway projects in the Pamlico-
Albemarle Sounds area.
An advance notice issued by
Col. R. P. Davidson, District En-
gineer, says the harbors at Eden
ton and Engelhard are to be re-
stored to project depth of IL feet
and Robinson Channel at Hatteras
to a depth of six feet.
Bids for the work are scheduled
to be opened here November II
with the dredging to follow 80
days after receipt of the notice to
proceed. The successful contractor
will have four months to complete
the three-way job.
Meanwhile, according to Col
onel Davidson, the dredging of the
12-foot channel from Manteo and
Wanchese to Oregon Inlet is pro-
crossing on schedule. A recent re-
port said this project, involving
over 2 million yards, is approxi-
mately IS per cent complete. The
dredging Of the bar channel at the
inlet has been scheduled for the
coming spring months.
