Anderson New Press Director WASHINGTON, (NC)—Floyd Anderson has been named di rector of the Press Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference and of theN.C.W.C. News Service which it issues. He is at present managing editor of the Central Califor nia Register, newspaper of the Diocese of Monterey-Fresno in California, and president of the Catholic Press Association of the United States. Anderson will succeed Frank A. Hall, who has announced that he will retire shortly. Hall has been director of the N.C.W.C. Press Department for more than 30 years, and next March will round out 40 years as a member of its staff. Announcement of the new di rector was made by Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken of San Francisco, episcopal chair man of the N.C.W.C. Press Department, through the N.C.W.C. headquarters here. Anderson will become only the third director in the more than four-decade history of the Press Department. Justin Mc Grath, an internationally known U.S. journalist, organized the department at the request of the U. S. Bishops in March, 1920, and administered it un til his death in May, 1931. Hall succeded to the office in 1932. The new director of the Press Department is one of the most prominent figures in the Catholic press field.

Tax-Paid Textbook Program PROVIDENCE, R.I., (NC)— Parents of private school pu pils have set wheels in motion to assist their children in mak ing requests to borrow tax- paid textbooks under the state’s new law. Rhode Island begins next Sep tember to lend textbooks to par ochial and other private school pupils in three subjects; sci ence, mathematics and modern foreign languages. The books are to be select ed from a list approved by the state department of public in struction and made available to local community which will split the cost of the lending program with the state agency. Under the law, the textbooks must be lent to the individual child not to the private school. The problem facing parents is what books to be selected by their children for next year’s courses in the non-public schools. It appears that home-school groups will attempt to act as intermediaries between the schools and the pupils. The Providence diocesan school board has issued no instructions to Catholic schools or to parents on how books are to be secured or what books are to be selected from a list of more than 700 titles. After the business meeting, Father Edward Kelly, S.M. pas tor of St. Joseph’s Church in Waycross, gave a very inspiring talk on devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and reminded all the members of the privilege they had received by becoming mem bers of this religious order. Father made particular men tion of the fact that he was pleased that Mrs. Tolbert of Waycross had become a novice in the Third Order and hoped that she would be an inspira tion to many more parishion ers from Waycross. Benediction of the Most Bles sed Sacrament followed the close of the meeting with Fa ther Walls the celebrant and John and Michael Lloyd acoly tes. The next meeting of the Third Order will be held in August. Montini Is U. S. Citizen WASHINGTON, (NC) — Veterans around the head quarters building of the Na tional Catholic Welfare Con ference still recall a re markable coincidence in volving His Holiness Pope Paul VI.

Montini was being shown around the NCWC Immigration Department. At random his guide picked out of the department’s files two cards containing immigrant followup reports. The files contained 50,000 such cards. One of the two chosen related to a young boy who had come to the Uni ted States in 1926. The boy's name: Giovanni Montini. 51 Graduate At St. Mary’s AUGUSTA— Fifty-one boys and girls composed the gradua ting class of St. Mary’s on the Hill School.

Race Status Quo “Relic Of Past” BATON ROUGE, La., (NC)— Bishop Robert E. Tracy has called on Catholics here to make the “status quo” on the racial question “a relic of the past.” The question of racial justice the Bishop of Baton Rouge said, “touches upon the rights of per sons and therefore on moral ity and religion which guaran tee such rights.” In a pastoral letter the Bish op said that “at the heart of the whole matter of racial adjust ment that our community is facing is the unreasonable and unrelaistic attitude of some ele ments who desperately desire to maintain a ‘status quo’ which everyone knows simply cannot be maintained.” “Such extremists,” he add ed, * ‘would give ground to im proved civil rights for Negroes only after the ugliest possible fight.” Bishop Tracy cautioned, how ever, that “we cannot expect to extinguish instantaneously powerful emotions or cast into oblivion, by a word, traditions of long standing. “Everyone recognizes this— the courts, the defender of the Negro, even the Negro himself. But this should offer no bar to the steady, progressive march to full justice. “Let us make of the old‘sta tus quo' a relic of the past and move forward as rapidly as pos sible in harmony, understand ing and peace to the progres sive recognition and achieve ment of all human, civil and Christian rights for all men until the job is done.” Baton Rouge in the past WASHINGTON, (NC) — Or ganization work for the Pitts burgh Byzantine Rite Diocesan Council of Catholic Women is now underway, it was announc ed here by the National Council of Catholic Women, with which the diocesan group will affil iate. The work was launched with the approval of Bishop Nicho las T. Elko of the Pittsburgh Byzantine Rite diocese. He ap pointed Father Edward V. Ro- sack, member of the Byzantine Rite Seminary, to serve as mod erator of the new council. For mal organization of the council will be completed during the summer. The Pittsburgh Byzantine Rite diocese includes all By zantine Rite Catholics of Rus sian, Hungarian and Croa tian nationalities in the U.S. A recent survey disclosed 312,- 793 members of the diocese in 15 states and the District of Columbia. The NCCW is a fed eration of Catholic women’s or ganizations with a total mem bership of 10 million. two years has been the scene of demonstrations by Negroes seeking desegregation of lunch counters and equal job oppor tunities. The Bishop noted that the for mal position of the diocese on the matter of racial justice is that set forth in the statement of the Bishops of the United States in 1958. The core of that statement, he said, was contain ed in these words: “Discrimination based on the accidental fact of race or color, and as such injurious to human rights regardless of personal qualities or achievements can not be reconciled with the truth that God has created all men with equal rights and equal dignity.” The Bishop called on Catho lics to make “this most ser ious social problem a matter of earnest prayer—that we may come more and more to know the charity of Christ which will impel us to cheerfully play the role of Good Samaritan to our wounded and neglected Negro brethren.” Perry Mason On New Case HOLLYWOOD, Calif., (NC)— Television’s Perry Mason, who wins legal battles with mono tonous regularity, has taken on a new case—this one far from the courtroom. The betting is that he’ll win this one, too. TV’s legal eagle, who’s real name is Raymond William Stacy Burr, is helping to build a new Catholic church in Gregorytown on Eleuthera Island in the Ba hamas. When he can get away from work before movie and TV cam eras, Burr regularly visits Harbour Island in the Bahamas to rest. One of his buddies there is Father John H. McGoey, a member of Canada’s Scarboro Foreign Mission Society, author of “Nor Scrip Nor Shoes” and other books. Father McGoey got around to telling the actor something of his troubles. The Canadian mis- sioner related that the parish ioners in Gregorytown—where the church, naturally, is named for St. Gregory—for a number of years had been asking for a new church. They complained the present one was on the verge of collapse. Fathe r McGoey put them off while churches were built for other new missions. They were patient—then actor Burr took a hand. He came up with the first $5,000 for erection of the new church and interested some of his friends in the venture. The building has been start ed, is scheduled to be complet ed if possible, in the fall. To Form Eastern Rite Women’s Council REV. HERBERT J. WELLMEIER The greatest legacy the late beloved Pope John XXIII was, perhaps his re-emphasis on the gospel precept of love and bro therhood. His own enormous capacity for kindness and char ity was evident from the way he broke down ancient barriers to harmony, trancending dif ferences of race and creed. He extended the warm em brace of fraternity to those not of the Catholic faith, those not of the white race, those not of Christian or western philosophy and culture He rais ed to the College of Cardinals an African of the black race and a Japense Bishop, member of the yellow race. He address ed himself to atheistic Com munists in an encyclical. He cordially invited Protestants and Jews to papal audiences and the ecumenical council. All this prelude and recount ing of Pope John’s heroic feats are by way of encouraging our own continuing imitation of the bigness of his heart. If we fail to include a single creature in our love, we have failed Christ and failed the example of His Vicar. It should be un necessary to inject a reminder of the parable of the Good Samaritan as Jesus’ demon stration of the universality of Christ-like charity. If we ex clude from our social group a fellow teenager who happens to be dull, a bore, an egghead or has some other unattractive or downright repulsive quality, then just in that measure we have limited our potential growth in both grace and per sonality. In other words, we harm ourselves as much as the other person when we fail in charity. The most popular and well-loved person is he who is gregarious and congenial with all, who overlooks differences in others. A sincere concern and interest in the sons of Adam who are not of our color or religious conviction is de manded by Christ, no question. And our religious or race prejudices will be judged harsh ly by Christ. “If our youth are “Our proud heritage” and "fond hope of the future,” we have a right to ex pect them to fulfill their res ponsibility of a rightly formed conscience and self-disciplined will. This will enable them to accomplish the goals set down in the gospels and faithfully lived by our good Holy Father, Pope John.
