about a half mile further down
the road. Box number 33 there is
the one listed for Cardinal Rug
ambwa in the vatican's official
directory.
There are only two permanent
structures in Rutabo: the cathed-
raj and the Cardinals residence.
The cathedral is a starkly simple
edifice built in 1910-four brick
walls, floor paved also with
brick. a corrugated tin roof, an
altar and a few benches. The
Cardinals residence is a six-room
bungalow which houses himself
and his secretary. 1t is the vii
lagos only house, as the villagers
commonly understand the term.
Since every few hundred years
there is separate cluster of huts
which has it's own neighborhood
name, it is difficult to know where
Rutabo ends, so it is difficult to
say exactly what its population
is. A missionary who knows the
area well estimates, however, that
within a mile radius of the center
of the village there are about

1000 inhabitants.
Once all the territory between
the west shore Of Lake Victoria
and Ruanda- Urundi was the Vic
ariate Apostolic of Bukoba. The
Holy See, seeing that it had pro-
crossed sufficiently, decided to d.
vide it into two parts. This Of
ficially took effect on December
Is, 1861.
On the same day, Father Rug
ambwa, just a few months after
his return from Rome where he
had earned decorate in canon
law, received word that he had
been appointed Vicar Apostolic of
the vicariate which had been cut
off from the Bukoba See. The
new Vicariate was called Lower
Kagera, taking its name from the
Kagera River, which flows through
the region and empties into Lake
Victoria.
The nomination and conservation
of Bishop Rugambwa marked q
new step in the progress of the
Church in the section of Tangan-
yika west and south of Lake Vic
toria. Earlier, the whole territory
had been pioneered by the White
Fathers. Now a native bishop
with native priesthood was es-
tablished.
Less than two years later, on
March 25, 1868, the Vicariate
Apostolic of Lower Kagers was
elevated to the rank of diocese
and named the Diocese of Rutabo.
Bishop Rugambwa became its Or
binary.
Figures reported by the Sacred
Congregation for the Propagation
of the Faith on June 80, 1857, will
give an idea of the diocese after
it had functioned for four years.
In an area of about 1000 square
mile there were 53,343 Catholics
3,077 catechumens, 25 priests, 81
Brothers and nuns, 10 seminarians
and go catechists.
Today the Rutabo diocese has a
Catholic population of about 81 900

affairs of the individual families
who are it's members. The fam
lily, then, is not necessarily auton-
omous and the father of family
will often be bound to obey the
patriarch.
There are benefits that come
from the family clan, but there
are also problems as far as the
work Of priests is concerned. The
benefits are chiefly economic and
social unity. A family elan will
herd all its cattle together in a
kind of cooperative, leaving the
men to do other chores. Also, if
family is experiencing hard
times, the other clan members will
go to their rescue.
But, if the head of a family dies,
the patriarch has the power of
absolute decision over the widow
and children, and this sometimes
constitutes a problem for the
priests.
Another weak point in the fam
lily clan is the position of women.
Until recently-and it is an idea
that has not been wholly aban-
doned-women had no other func
tion than to work in the fields and
bear children, and were denied any
other right.
Cardinal Rugambwa, being
product of this society, knows it
thoroughly and knows that the
strength of family influence and
the force of family values consti-
tute the Church's avenue of ap-
preach in Christianizing his ter
ritory. He estimates that it will
take about three generations for
this approach to be fully success
full.

out Of total population Of 1872 900.
The majority Of the non-C Catholics
are Moslems, and a difficulty in
the work Of Christian missionaries
in the area has been the fact that
commercial success is identified
with being q Moslem.
The Catholics of the Rutabo do
cese are poor and, as natural
consequence, so are the Sees
priests and churches. Until 1861
the church at Kanhigo was the
only permanent church edifice in
the entire area apart from the
cathedral at Rutabo.
The Kanhigo church was little
more than a tin roof with open
sides and was infested with bats.
The bats created such an odor that
cats were installed in the rafters
to discourage them. The effect
was just the reverse: the cats
were discouraged. The missionary
in charge of the church, then tried
to get rid of the bats with treat
ment of sulphur smoke. 1t sue
ceeded only in turning everything
in the church yellow.
A more fundamental problem
than bats, or cats, in the Cardi-
nails diocese is the often super
stitious religious mentality of the
Africans.
All of them, Christian or pagan,
believe in one God who is good
and will do no harm to men. They
believe in an afterlife as well as
in good and bad spirits who attach
themselves to such objects as trees
and houses. This explains some
Of the practices still followed even
by Christians.
The key element in all the
problems is the family, not only
in such things as deep-rooted sup
erstitions, but also in social and
economic problems.
The family clan is the basic
social unit. The family clan is
made up of many households pre-
sided over by a patriarch or chief
who has powerful voice in the

A governmental body with
legislative power TO make ef-
fective policy for the entire
Washington Metropolitan Area
was proposed by a committee Of
the Interfederation Council of
the Greater Metropolitan n
Washington Area last night.
C. Darwin Stolzenbach. chair
man Of the committee studying
the proposal. said the proposed
agency, to be given broad
powers, would have jurisdiction
over water supply and sewage
questions as we'll as transporta-
ton.
An area compact to regulate
mass transportation already has
been approved by the Maryland
and Virginia Legislatures. Con-
gress has not yet approved the
compact in behalf Of the Dis
trict.
The regional unit proposed
by the council would also in
clude the powers which q bill
drafted by the Budget Bureau
and now before Congress would
give to q Federal area trans
portation authority. The Budg-
ct Bureaus plan would allow
the agency to acquire property
and begin building new transit
facilities as well as controlling
existing ones.
Mr.. Stolzenbach said the
council must take the initiat tive
in setting up the regional gov
erning agency, because it was
the only organization repre-
senting the entire Washington
area at the grass roots level.
While not specifying the ex.
act membership of the proposed
agency, Mr.. Stolzenbach indi-
Gated it would comprise govern
mental representatives from
the various local jurisdictions

he asserted, was unfit for deal
ing with metropolitan problems
on a detailed basis. The struc-
ture Of the latter, he added,
did not permit the resolving Of
any serious problems among its
jurisdictions.
The committee chairman
cited the successful efforts Of
citizens in the New York area
in obtaining a regional govern
ing body which will effectively
guide metropolitan policy there.
He suggested that parallel leg

RECEPTION: Short Story
Writer o. Henry hated to at
tend elaborate social func-
tions, which to him were i'm
personal and dull.
One night. a friend dragged
him to a lavish reception
given by prominent lady of
society. When they entered
the mansion, they took their
places at the end of a long
line of guests who were wait
ing to be greeted by the
hostess.
AS each guest approached
her and made some comment,
the hostess uttered a few
words in reply and turned to
the next person in line.
I'll bet she doesn't know
what they say to her or what
she says to them" whispered
o. Henry to his friend.
Stop being so critical"
said the other.
"I'll prove it to you." said
the writer.
When his turn came to be
presented. he said in a mat
ter-of-faet tone:
Madam. ! just poisoned
your husband in the library"
How perfectly charming!"
murmured the lady, as she
turned to the next in line.

Transit and traffic problems
were discussed by Henry M.
Balm, jr., consultant to the
Joint Congressional Commit
tee on Washington Metropoli-
tan Problems.
He said new expressways
into the District from the sub
urbs would provide temporary
relief for, the Sixteenth street
residents but eventually would
serve to increase total traffic by
encouraging even greater ex-
panSion Of the suburbs.
Pointing out that traffic con-
geStion no longer was confined
to rush-hour periods, Mr.. Balm
said one remedy for the prob
lem might be a rapid transit
rail system for the area,
coupled with a politically un-
popular" toll system on high
ways into the District.
Tolls would make more
commuters use rapid rail
transit, he said, and the pro-
ceeds could be used for general
area improvements.
