AUGUSTA, Ga. — President

help Catholic agencies are giv

The Chief Executive lauded
the “inspiring work” of the
Diocese of Miami and the “in
stant response” of Catholic Re
lief Services-National Catholic
Welfare Conference to govern
mental requests for action.
Mr. Eisenhower’s gratitude
was expressed in a letter to
Francis Cardinal Spellman,
Archbishop of New York, in
which the President thanked
the Cardinal for a $10,000 do
nation to U. S. relief work
among the estimated 40,000
Cubans in the Miami area.
The $10,000 will be added
bo the one million dollars in
Federal funds the President
set aside (Dec. 2) to assist the
Cubans. The money was made
available under a law which
permits its use to aid refligees
from a communist-controlled
country.

Cardinal was made public

secretary James C. Hagerty
while the President was here

gram to Mr. Eisenhower reads:

“Gratified to learn of your ap
propriation of one million
dollars to aid the suffering
Cuban refugees. Am pleased to
forward a check for ten thou
sand dollars to aid in this mis
sion of mercy.”
The President’s response by
letter reads:
“I am deeply appreciative of
your telegram concerning the
Cuban refugees and of your
very generous contribution
toward the efforts which
America is making to deal ad
equately with the plight of
these thousands of Cubans
who have fled to our shores
to escape oppression.
“Mr. Tracy Voorhees, who
is acting in this matter for
me, has already told me of the
inspiring work of the Diocese
of Miami under Bishop (Cole
man) Carrol] and of the in
stant response of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference
under (Auxiliary) Bishop (Ed
ward) Swanstrom to his re
quests for action.
“May I ask that you express
to them my gratitude for their
important part in the tradi
tional response of the United
States and its citizens to such
tragic situations.
“With warm personal re
gard, in which Mrs. Eisen
hower joins, Sincerely, Dwight
D. Eisenhower.”
Most of the estimated 40,000
refugees from Fidel Castro’s
regime are engaged in a grim
struggle to provide for them
selves.
The majority of the refu
gees, who came to Miami at a
rate of more than 1,000 a week,
arrive with nothing. Few of
them are able to find work in
their own fields and many are
unable to find any type of
work in southern Florida
where unemployment among
native Americans has risen to
20,000.
Large numbers of the recent
refugees are professional or
business men, all of whom liv
ed comfortably in their native
country and were regarded as
substantial citizens.
Most of the refugees are
Catholics and have turned to
the Church for help. This has
been provided by the Diocese
of Miami in a special center
which offers services from job
seeking to free medical care.
More than 2,500 Cuban chil
dren, few of whom speak Eng
lish, have been enrolled in Mi
ami Catholic schools. The in
creased cost is being borne by
parishes which run the schools.
In the meantime, Texaco Oil
Company announced it will
contribute $100,000 toward the
refugee relief work, granting
$50,000 to the Miami diocese’s
Spanish Center. The company
last June had $55,000,000
of its Cuban assets seized by
the Castro regime after it re
fused to refine Russian oil.
