Newman Clubs Warned
of 'Pseudo-Americans’
(Bj N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK. — ‘Pseudo-Americans
who are now wrapping themselves in
the flag, noisily singing ‘God Bless
'America' ’’ were assailed at the
World s Fair here as the Newman
Club Federation ended its three-day
convention.
Speaking at the Temple of Reli
gion in the fair grounds as 500 dele
gates, representing Catholic student
groups in 75 secular colleges, attend
ed the final function of the conven
tion, Judge Clare G. Fenerty, of
Philadelphia Common Pleas Court,
asserted that so-called Americans
who “only a short time ago were
lauding the Soviet idea and lending
support and encouragement to the
God-haters of the Loyalist Govern
ment in Spam,'' today “are merely
reflecting .their fear of an indignant
American public who will no longer
tolerate such betrayal of our national
interests.” “We must remember that
such individuals, whether in high or
low places, have not lost their love
for Moscow,” he added.
He urged vigilance and the reali
zation that “when peace comes to
Europe, which may be in September,
these fellow-travellers will again re
turn to the Communist cause and
in stealthy un-American fashion at
tempt to betray the country whose
liberty and protection they enjoy.” ^
“NO OTHER MAN”, a new novel
by Alfred Noyes, noted English Cath
olic writer, has beeen selected for
July by the Catholic Book Club.
