Effort To Debunk New Bunko Scheme LOS ANGELES, (NC) —Pas tors here are making an effort to expose a new bunko scheme aimed at priests. It involves telephone calls from a “bishop” or “pastor” sup posedly in another state. Spurious long distance calls ostensibly from some priest or bishop, are made to a rectory. tween white businessmen and Negro leaders on May 10. In the latest violence, there were two bombings, six build ings burned, a patrolman was stabbed and there were several bare-knuckle and rock-hurling brawls. On orders from Presi dent Kennedy, Federal troops moved into position (May 13) south of the strife-torn indus trial city. Archbishop Toolen said: “We deplore that this violence has taken place. Whoever did this should be punished for the destruction caused. Our people have been asked to pray for peace, and as Catholics we can not harbor hate in our hearts for our Negro brethren. Our people are not taking part in this. We would like to see it all settled. We are glad that Negroes are obtaining some rights, but do not approve of some of their methods.” “In the area of racial jus tice,” the Archbishop also said, "there are obligations as well as rights, and those in the civil rights field should remind the Negro race of their obligation to their fellowmen.” Earlier, in Birmingham, Bi shop Joseph A. Durick had ap pealed for “the best and most peaceful techniques” to be used in resolving the crisis. Wheelchair Gift Of Students Of Aquinas High AUGUSTA—At a recent as sembly held at Aquinas High School, the Sociology class un der the direction of Mrs. J. J. O’Connel presented the play “Be-Bop and Beethoven.” This play was given to help defray the expense of a wheel chair purchased by the class for the mother of Anderson Dunn, the maintenance man at Aquinas. No fixed admission was charged. The day was de clared “Anderson Dunn Appre ciation Day.” The amount realized in this way was twenty-five dollars more than was needed for the wheel chair. At the assembly Joseph Carter, president of the Student Activity Club, presented Anderson with this check. Anderson received a rising ovation from the complete stu dent body. Reverend Ralph Sei- kel, Moderator of Aquinas High School, thanked the Sociology class for the production and the whole student body for their generosity. Anderson Dunn has served as maintenance man at Aquinas High School for the past five years and in this time has won a place in the hearts of each student who has been there. The caller asks the priest to aid a young man whose'parent is alleged to have just been killed or hurt in an auto acci dent. A young man then calls at the rectory to have the bad news broken to him and to ac cept the “loan” of plane fare to the distant city. QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) statement, of course. In each case the Holy Father’s inten tion must be considered, as well as the circumstances under which, and the occasion on which, he chose to state the Church’s position. Surely one must distinguish, on the one hand, between a papal statement on the social order as formu lated in a world-wide encycli cal letter; and, on the other hand, a papal greeting to a visiting basketball team. ONCE AGAIN, though, even the most insignificant occasions can be used by the Supreme Pontiff to speak on matters de manding religious assent. Pope Pius XII explicitly referred to this principle in at least one allocution. MASON INC. f JF AD 2-4192 18-20 W.
