MIDDLEBURG, Va, April II
(AP). - President Kennedy
heard his Middleburg pastor,
with racial segregation in mind,
ask his Roman Catholic parish
oners yesterday to pray in a
very special way for any mem
bers of this community who are
prosecuted"
And in his church bulletin,
the Rev. Albert F. Pereira said,
in a discussion of desegregation
which came to public eating
places in Middleburg last week
end:
Jesus was a Samaritan
lover which is equivalent to
being a 'nigger-loVer' today: he
ate with 'publicans and sinners,
the outcaSts of the good So
ciety of the Jews. Jesus prac-
ticed what he preached-the
universal love of all men, re-
gardlesS.
DecrieS Delay
with the eyes of the world
on the little town of Middle
burg, we should be ashamed
that we did not correct this
injustice until we were pres
sured by outsiders, local GUS
tom Notwithstanding. 1t is COM
mendable that Middleburg' S
pride and its realization of its
national Importance has en-
abled its citizens to forego Gus
toms no longer based on facts
and embarrassing to its role"
ITO refuse to serve Negroes
simply because of their race re-
minds us of the custom started
by the Nazis-which we consid-
cred very reprehensible Is years
ago."
Mr.. Kennedy attended noon
mass, accompanied by his wife
and Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
Smith, his brother-in-law and
sister. The latter were week
end guests at the Kennedys'
rented estate. Glen Ora, out
side Middleburg.
Whether the President read
the church bulletin could not
be determined. But he did
hear the prayer, although
Father Pereira said nothing in
it Of the desegreation problem.
The pastor asked Mr.. Kennedy
and the other worShippers to
pray also that those who are
doing the prosecuting may be
converted by the grace of God >
