During his first two weeks in
America, he ate at a plush res
taurant in a swank neighborhood,
but later learned of their discrim-
mating policy. Another incident
that helped Father Carly to learn
first-hand about discrimination in
America was his experience with
the manager Of the Grant Hotel in
New York. Answering a newspap-
er advertisement for a hotel clerk,
Father Carly went to the manager
and applied for the job. The man
ager laughed at his holiness, but
later gave him a job as elevator
operator. Father Carly said, II
learned after working at the hotel
that Negroes were not hired as
hotel clerks"
Father Carly served two years
In England and France as a chap
lain in World War II. He attained
the rank Of Captain Upon release
he pursued a degree in education
at Xazier University in New Or
leans, La. Before deciding to con-
tinue his ministerial career, he ac-
cepted the principleship Of an ele-
mentary school in Michigan.
Asking what challenges must a
person going into the ministry be
prepared for, Father Carly said,
You must love people. You must
be willing to serve people without
any hope Of enumeration. He con-
tinued.
You must stress a commitment
to God. II a man believes in God
you win have a person who viii
help the church. the community

Minnesota Is the nations num-
Der one butter state-even though
Wisconsin has long made a big
thing about being the Dairy
State"
This Is only one Of the rather
surprising facts about our state
that highlght a special Mime
sofa Progress" edition Of Telenews,
the m on thly publication that
Bell sends to all its
telephone users each month
More than 100000 copies Of
Telenews are going to Minnesota
people," c. d. Gietzen, Division
manager, said today. The first
copies Of this special six-page edi-
ton are now in the mail and all
of them will be delivered within
the next 80 days"
In outlining the facts about what
makes Minnesota's economy tick,
the Telenews story points up the
dramatic changes Of recent years,
some familiar and some less 50.
Agriculture is big factor in the
states economic pictIre-57 per
cent of the acreage Is in farms that
produce 10 different agricultural
products worth $1,4OO, 900, 900 per
year. Actually, a fifth Of this Is
from milk and cream. Minnesota
Is number one in dry milk as well
as in butter production, number
two in milk and number four in
cheese. Minnesota farms are also
big producers of sweet corn, flax,
oats, turkeys and hogs.
Telenews reminds that it was
only six years ago that the new
processes to use taconite went into
use. Steel industry investments
amounting to a billion dollars have
been added to Minnesota's economy
since then.
The availability Of water has al
ways doomed big in Mtnnesota's
history. It has recently taken a
new turn as Duluth became an In
|ternational port with the St
Lawrence seaway opened to ship
traffic. Overshadowed by this is
the phenomenal growth Of river
transportation, such as movement
Of 1000 tons Of grain from Twin
City ports.
Telenews gives credit for contin-
ued Industrial growth - with all
that this means in new and better
Jobs for Minnesotans - to such
factors as geographical location,
natural resources, transportation,
ample utility services such as cleo
tricity and water, excellent COM
munication facilities Northwest
ern Bells growth dollars in Min
nesota this year win exceed $40
900, 0Oo), adequate labor supply
and the fact that Minnesota Is a
good place to live.
Additional copies Of Telenews
are available for telephone users
who want to send them to friends,
relatives and business associates
in other states. Extra copies may
be obtained at the telephone bus
mess office.

Byron's Column

Charles Mac Matthias has the ability to
be an outstanding member of the United
States House of Representatives
1t has become apparent he thinks for
himself and acts without any strings pulling
him one way or another. This is refreshing
to see after having watched some of the
string-pulling that went on in Annapolis dur.
ing the past 80 days.
There isn't veteran Congressman on
Capitol Hill who viii not attest to the fact
that good right arm in the person of an
Administrative Assistant is one of the most
important things a successful Congressman
must have.
Mac Matthias does not have a good
Administrative Assistant. In fact, he doesn't
even have bad one. He has none. And his
office suffers from the lack of one person so
designated. And there is no use to designate
just anyone He must be top drawer nd
vidual with natural political mind and one
who is able to know who is who in the Ma.
tional government and in the Congressman's
district
No one seems to know who advised
Matthias concerning his office staff. Perhaps
no one did Nevertheless, if this newly elected
Congressman is as wise as we believe he is,
he will lose no time in getting a man or
woman who is qualified to handle the details
and political aspects of a Congressional office
1t doesn't take history lesson to point
out the experiences of many present members
of Congress who have enjoyed long political
lives on Capitol Hill. And almost always one
will find the successful office-holder has had
an expert assistant.
Senator J. Glenn Beall is certainly one of
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1961-04-13

the most successful holders of public office
that Maryland has seen in long time. When
he first went to the House of Representatives
in 1912 he made sure that he got the most
capable assistant he could find. And further
more, he did not care about the politics of the
person he chose. He asked Mrs. Wolf to be
his Administrative Assistant A.A's were
called Secretaries in those days.
Mrs. Wolf happened to have been Demo
crat. She had been in the office of the late
Bill Byron. This made no difference to the
newly elected Congressman Beall from the 9th
District. And he has never been sorry. And
no wonder. She is considered one of the top
Assistants on Capitol HILL
Senator Byrd, Vice President Johnson and
many of the more successful members of
Congress have always had the best fright
arms" that high salary and loyalty would
attract.
By the same token, it doesn't take strain
to think back and recall the number of Con-
gressmen who were unable or unwilling to
hire and keep superior Administrative Assis-
tants. And these Congressman didn't last
long. And many of the defeats were due to
the fact that Congressman cannot do all of
the things they must do if they want to re-
main in Congress.
1t would be a pity if good man repre-
senting the important Sixth District of Mary
land takes chance of losing out after just
one term just because he does not recognize
the Importance of hiring good fright arm"
AS it stands today, Congressman Charles
Mac Matthias has made mistake in not set
ting up an office force that reflects the same
high degree of intelligence and know-how dis.
played thus far by the Congressman himself

they may have, cluster, there are some beau.
tiful causes) why they should not be thrown
in Jail for their failure to comply with court
order to pay alimony. The tales of woe and
horror spun out from the witness stand con-
corning their financial condition by these hus-

Fridays are known to the wives of the
county as pay day." They think it is the
day when the corridors of the court house
will be paved with gold and the water foun-
tains run with pure nectar This is the day
for the great coming out party" That is,
1.-THE coming out" of the cocoon of marriage;
the day when the ex.wife punches another
hole in the meal ticket she took to the altar
with her; the day when it is revealed that in
every marriage there is built in divorce.
Both of them are of course wrong. Friday
is neither pay day" nor "get away day." 1t
is day when the Spouses learn that both of
them will lower their standard of living and
that somewhere along the line mistake was
made, and that divorce court is, in some re-
spects, court of retribution There really
does not seem to be much that we can do
about the situation; it is just a penalty we
pay for being human. But anyhow, Fridays
have become for us lawyers just about the
saddest day of the week.
