MOultOn argued that the loss
of the store had caused a size
able economic loss to the MIC
ollet-Lake business area. Bus
mess traffic which once visited
that area now goes to the sub
urbs to make liquor purchases,
MOulton pointed out. His speech
was an effective presentation of
all aspects Of the controversy In
behalf Of the majority position.
H. P. Red" Christensen of the
Sixth Ward which has more liquor
outlets than any other ward be-
cause Of the patrol limits, told the
council he favored the granting of
the license because he realized the
loss which the business community
surrounding Lake and Nicollet had
sustained. He pointed out that a
number Of jobs were also at stake
in favorable consideration of the
application. He said his vote would
be yes.
Alderman Gerald r. Nelson
Of the Fourth Ward read a pre-
pared statement In which he told
of an exhaustive study Of the
situation and Of the applicants.
He said he had finally came to
the conclusion he should support
tn application.
Alderman Robert P. James of
the 18th Ward chairman Of the
license committee repeated prior
objections which he said were
based on feeling that the license
would be a profitable monopoly.
Alderman r. ]. Kantorowicz Of
the Third Ward was against the
license because he felt the grant
ing would hurt chances Of removal
Of liquor patrol limits, a PROPOSE
ton favored by some groups as q
way to end the concentration Of
licenses In one section Of the city.
Alderman Elsa johnson Of the
Eighth Ward in which 8 East Lake
is situated reiterated her plea that
the community near the store
needed the establishment to slim
ulate the business climate.
She vigorously pointed out that
since the place Is in my ward,
she felt qualified to say whether
or not it was a worthy appIca-
ton. Mrs. Johnson pointed out
that a majority Of the people in
the neighborhood voting in the re-
cent referendum favored the re-
opening Of the store.
Alderman Robert MacGregor Of
the Second Ward reiterated his
opposition to the application be-
cause Of the monopoly issue. He
spoke only briefly because all
know my opposition to the grant
ing of this license"
Alderman Harmon Ogdahl, q
realtOr Of the 18th ward denied
that the price paid for the build
ing In which the store IL located
was inflated or out Of line In q
coIlOquy with Alderman James.
The almost hour long debate
was occasioned by Alderman
George Martens insistence that
both sides Of the controversy
should voice their opinions a. to
why the license should or should
not be granted?
Voting for the license approval
on a roll-call vote were: Christen-
sen, Elsa Johnson, Earl johnson,
Leslie, Martens, Moulton, Nelson,
Ogdahl and Risk.
Voting against approval were:
Joe Greenstein, James, MacGregor
and Kantorowicz.
The applicants must now clear
the hurdle Of having their applica-
ton approved by the State Liquor
Commissioner Matthew Joyce.

Lnem, IL was nOIeQ InaI Oh the
5000 bishops from throughout the
world who were summoned to the
council, "a were of African descent
and literally categorical as Ne
groes.
Since all these bishops are as
signed to dioceses in Africa, only
a few Negroes in America are
aware that so many black men
hold high office in the Catholic
Church.
Yet the Negro bishops attending
the council are entrusted with the
spiritual care Of an estimated
three millions Catholics in dioceses
throughout the African continent,
Most Of them are from the SO new
ly independent and emerging
states, and thus they bring to the
council special problems bordering
on economic, social, and racial
matters.
Pope Exhibits Special Interest
OF special significance, also, Is
the fact that Pope John, who has
gone to great lengths In the past
In pointing out that there ARE nc
color bars in the church." had per
Sonally consecrated several Of the
African bishops. The Pontiff Is
known to have a special interest
In the growth and development OF
the church in Africa. Therefore, II
Is believed that the church's mis-
sionary work in Africa Is almost
certain to be stressed on the coun-
ellis agenda.
Elevated African To Cardinal
Perhaps the best indication Of
the Pope's interest In Africa Is
seen In his elevation in 1860 Of ar
African prelate, Laurean Rugamb-
wa of Tanganyika to the cardinal.
ate, making him the first Negro
to attain such status In the church
In recent years.
Cardinal Rugambwa, an easy
going soft-spoken, but scholarly
and prudent prelate, leads the Al
rican delegation to the council. Thu
cardinal Is also serving on one Of
the important commissions Of tn,
council.
AS members Of the church's hler
archy who possess equal voting
and membership rights with othel
ecclesiastics, the African prelateG
are highly trained and keenly
aware Of the role they are playing
IN helping to shape the future Of
the church, a worldwide denomin'
alton Of more than SOC, 1000, O0C
members.
One thing Is certain. The role OF
the Negro bishops Is not restricted
In any way. In fact, they have nc
special role to play in pointing ur
certain problems Financial and
politically peculiar to Africa
Meanwhile, at least one African
prelate, the Most Rev. Halle
Maria, Cahsai, titular bishop Of
SUzusa in Libya and ex-arch apos'
toiic Of Ethiopia, Is known to be
keenly interested in Christian uni
ty with the dissident CophC

my energy" The council itself will
seek broadly to pave the way fol
a possible reunion with Separated
brethren" particularly the Eastern
Orthodox churches.
Three Other Outstanding Leaders
Although Cardinal Rugambwa
is the ranking Negro prelate at
the council and therefore Is ex-
pected to be the most influential,
three others of his hue are also ex-
pected to command a great deal
Of attention.
They are Archbishop Joseph
Kiwanuka Of Rubaga, which be-
came independent last week. He Is
the oldest African prelate attend
ing from the standpoint Of tenure;
Bishop Joseph Oliver Bowers, OF
the Accra, GhanA diocese, a high
ly regarded spokesman and ad-
ministrator, and the youthful but
brilliant Archbishop Bernardir
Gantin Of Cotonou, Dahomey.
First Bishop In Modern Times
Archbishop Kiwanuka Is the
first Negro bishop in modern
times. He was personally consec-
rated by the late Pope Plus x1
in May, 1889. At the time Of his
conservation, Pope Plus confronted
the then Bishop Kiwanuka with q
great challenge. The Pontiff told
the bishop: MY son, in you I re-
store the African hierarchy inter
rupted centuries ago by the in
vasions of the Vandals and the
Mohammedians. You must work
strongly, because upon your sue
cess depends whether or not I Will
create more African bishops"
Obviously, Bishop Kiwanuka has
done an outstanding job, for Pope
Plus and his successor, Pope John
have appointed many more Afri'
can bishops.
Archbishop Gantin, who was ap'
pointed by Pope John in 1851
after only seven years Of priest
hood, Is believed to represent 1
refreshing, new leadership In Afri
can ecclesiastical circles.
Young Archbishop
At the time Of his elevation t
the archbishopric, Gantin was just
81 and one Of the youngest arch
bishops In the entire Catholic
world.
Also attending the council, but
in non-voting capacities, are sew
eral other African clergymen who
are classified as special assistants
to the bishops and the council.
Among the "a Negro bishops
summoned to the council Is the
Most Rev. Remy Augustin, auodl'
larry bishop Of Port-au-Prince
Haiti, the first native Haitian pre-
late. Bishop Augustin is living ir
exile in New York and shares 9
problem Of persecution with sew
eral other prelates.
There Is moro speculation thai
at least one other high-ranking
Negro clergyman from the Yves
tern Hemisphere will attend. He Il

newly independent state Of Jam
aica, in the West Indies. Msgr
Wilson is a highly qualified prizes
and linguist who repeatedly speak
some IL languages and dialects
and 1t Is likely that his TALENT

ever be able to come to this
country for q visit or to
stay, but her border crossing
is still very vivid in her
mind.
AS a teenager working in
a grocery store in Ruda, her
only thought was 81 want to
get out Of here" The Gus
toners she waited on knew
her thoughts.
One morning they told her
a Russian army truck (do-
ing a little black marketing
on the side) would be leav-
ing that afternoon for a trip
across the border into Ger
many, and that she wouldn't
have to pay anything, but the
other 10 would. 1t was Klara's
payday, but she didn't wait
for her money.
After an almost 24-hour
trip in a canvas covered
truck, which was stopped
only once by guards who took
the two Russian officers
word for what they were
carrying, the vehicle stopped
20 miles over the border and
deposited the passengers.
Each was on his own.
Klara's experience with
the elderly German farmer
who picked her up still
brings tears to her eyes
after all these years.
1t was early morning and
the farmer was on his way
to Berlin with a load of hay.
He was driving a wagon
drawn by two bulls.
Said the young girl,
(which way do you go2 How
far is Berlin?" About is
kilometers," he answered.
Can you take me?" she
asked. "Oh sure, little girl,
come on!" he replied.
Soon the farmer started
eating. and Klara was so
hungry. HE could tell" she
said. so he gave me some
black bread and sausage.
Extending even more kind
ness to her, he gave her the
address of a family in Ber-
lin that would feed her and
advise her what to do. He
also gave her so pfennig
German for cents) when
he found out she didn't have
any money so she could take
q street car.
After feeding her, the Ger
man family advised Klara to
60 to the police station to
register. When she arrived
1t was closed. But still an
other German woman who
was there figured important
ly in Klara's life. Through
her efforts she was able to
get Klara In a D. p. camp
quite an accomplishment
since they we're so crowded.
The Long Wait
Then began the wait. She
was in a D. P. camp run by
the United States Govern
ment and supervised by
American soldiers from 1945
until 1851, and from then
until early so, in a private
camp in West Germany, run

and financed by the West
German government.
1t is problematical whether
Klara will ever be able to re-
turn to Poland to see her
family. But maybe she can
do what she did last year. A
week before Christmas she
put through q call to the
Post Office in Ruda for them
to let her mother know what
day and time she would call
her there. The post office
called her back to let her
know the message had been
delivered.
1t was the first time in
II years that Klara had
heard her mothers voice.

AFTER 7-YEAR WAIT
She Found q New Life and Unusual Career
BY ANN CLINE

Assistant Women's Editor, The star
She tends bar by night
and embroiders by day.
This unusual combination
fittingly describes the wax
ing hours of a petite Polish
girl who waited 7 years for
papers to come to America.
1t is unusual, too, that
Klara M. Sneed is a bar
tender, for the dictionary de-
fines that word as "a man
who mixes and serves drinks
in a bar"
And like most European
reared girls, she Is adept
with her hands. In addi-
ton to embroidery work, she
is a whiz at sewing and knit
ting. And If she has any
time left over, blond Klara
enjoys writing poetry and
listening to classical music
in her Southwest apartment
where she and her husband,
Albert, live. y
It's quite by accident that
Klara became a bartender.
She always dreamed of being
an actress. But that was not
to be.
Escaping from Poland in
l945 at the age Of IT, she
spent Z years in a Displaced
Persons camp in Berlin and
a private camp in West Ger
many before sailing from
Bremerhaven on a United
States Army ship transport
ing D. P.'s to the United
States. Sponsoring the group
was the American Commit
tee for Resettlement Of Pol
ish D. P.'s, which has offices
in Chicago.
A Mix-Up
After a slight mix up
about where she was to go
after landing in New York
in 1952-she expected to live
with Mr.. and Mrs. Bronis-
lava Gierasimowicz in Far
huntsville, Mass. Klara was
sent to the Westmont, Ill,
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Steve
Szymski, where she stayed
for a year.
From that time on there
are a number of dates that
stand out in her mind. In
October, 1852, she came to
Washington. II loved it
washington, so I rented
an apartment here and got
a job in a local variety store"
In February, 1855, she
went to work in one Of the
larger hotels as a liquor
checker cher first encounter
with the business that was
to be her future). In June
of that same year, she
switched over to the Roma
Restaurant-firSt as a liquor
checker, then as a waitress
and since October, 1859, as
the night bartender.
Her Teacher
In the interim, two equal
ly important things hap
pened to her. On February
IL, 1857, she was married to
a Washington man, Albert
Sneed, and on March IL,
1858, she became an Ameri-
can citizen.
The man who taught her

most of what she knows
about mixing drinks was in
directly responsible for her
getting her present Job. He
quit. So when Bill Smith
left to go elsewhere. Mr..
Frank Abbo, owner Of the
Roma. offered Klara the job.
IF you pay me as you pay
men, I'll take it." was her
reply. His answer Sure I'll
pay you"
Even though 1t has been II
years since Klara has seen
her home in Ruda, the small
Polish town is always on her
mind because her mother,
five brothers and three sis
tiers still live there.
She doesn't want her
maiden name used because
she fears for her family's
safety. However, In recent
years her mail has been 60
ing through to them uncen-
sored. II can write them
about anything but poll
tics" she says, land al
though they haven't been
opening my letters for some
time, I still wouldn't take
any chances"
Cannot Visit
Klara's main reason for
working is so she can send
packages to her family.
About once a month she
ships a box of food and
clothing home, with a limit
of AZ pounds.
This 34-year-old Polish
girl knows there is no chance
