Sergeant Throws
Orphans Party
MIAMI (NC) A sergeant of
16 years o' service with the L.
S. Army was ho^t to some 1,000
children of Cuban refugees at
Miami Bishop Coleman F. Car-
roll’s annual Christmas party.
MORALES has been doing
this since 1951 when he was in
Korea and saw children dying in
their flight from the Reds in
the North.
In 1957, he volunteered for
more duty in Korea and orga
nized a program among Ameri
can soldiers to support the Sun
Ac- Orphanage near Inchon City.
His group repaired living quar
ters, playgrounds and roads to
the orphanage. They also ar
ranged parties and picnics.
orphan children had to travel
a long distance to attend church,
Morales, a Puerto Rican, de
cided to build a chapel. He
and other Gl's in the 37th En
gineering Detachment con
structed it.
MORALES, who has two sons
and a daughter of his own, gets
the cooperation of several toy
manufacturers In sending
Christmas gifts to Korea each
year.
This was the first year that
he did not travel, at his own ex
pense, to distribute the toys in
Korea personally A heart ail
ment has made it necessary for
him to curtail strenous physi
cal activities.
STOPPING off in Formosa during his annual Christmas visit to the U. S. Armed Forces, Francis
Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York was decorated with the Order of Brilliant Star With
Grand President Chlang Kai-shek. Madame Chiang (left) watches as a Chinese Nationalist general

party here that the campaign for
next year’s toys begins right
away. The Army has provided
him space to store them at Fort
Dix.
"We hope next year to have a
Christmas party in Havana,"
he said.
NEW STATISTICS
U. S. Church Membership
Shows First Decrease
HOOVER SAYS
FBI More Than
Paying Its Way
WASHINGTON (NC) The
Federal Bureau of Investigation
more than pays its way.
This is revealed by statis
tics contained in the annual re
port of the bureau’s director,
J. Edgar Hoover.
IN 1962, "fines, savings and
recoveries’’ resulting from
work done by the FBI amounted
to "well over $200 million"
compared with $148,421,690for
the year 1961. This figure "far
exceeds the amount of funds
spent to operate the FBI dur
ing 1962", Hoover told Att.
Gen. Robert F. Kennedy.
The year 1962 saw more
than 12,700 convictions in FBI
cases, the apprehension of 11,
400 FBI fugitives, and the lo
cation of more than 19,000 sto
len automobiles.
A "sharp increase" (appro
ximately 25 per cent) was not
ed in robberies, burglaries and
larcenies of banks and other
financial institutions. They
averaged 100 such offenses a
month.
Expressing appreciating for
assistance the FBI receives
from other law enforcement
agencies, Hoover said 1962 saw
a further strengthening of the
bonds of mutual cooperation
throughout the entire law en
forcement profession. He said
165 men attended two sessions
of the FBI National Academy.

CATHOLIC NIAR IAJT WILPARI ASSOCIATION
400 Uxlngfon Ave. of 44th St. New Yevfc 17, N. Y.
NEW YORK (NC) For the first
time in a hundred years, the
percentage of church members in
the nation’s population has reg
istered a decrease, according to
an annual compilation of official
church statistics.
The decrease—two-tenths of
one per cent — is "significant
in that it may indicate a halt in
the steady rise throughout
the history of the United States
— of the proportion of church
members in the total popula
tion," a news release issued
by the National Council of Chur
ches said.
THE STATISTICS are contain
ed in the 1963 issue of the Year
book of American Churches, pre
pared by the NCC. The Year
book lists membership in Ameri
ca's churches and synagogues in
1961 as 116,109,929 for all faiths.
This represents 63.4 per cent of
the population, as against 63,6
per cent a year earlier.
Records of church member
ship since 1850 show that a de
crease was registered only once
before, In 1870, when church
membership percentages were
recorded as 18 per cent or five
per cent less than the high of 23
per cent 10 years earlier, the
NCC said.
UNGANDA
COMPILERS of the Yearbook
in the NCC’s Bureau of Research
and Survey noted that church sta
tistics have to be examined with
the realization that not all chur
ches reporting employ the same
recording stystem. Som include
infants and all family members
while others record only those
received into membership by
baptism. The 1963 Yearbook
carries statistics furnished by
258 religious bodies of all faiths,
one less than reported in 1960
and three more than in 1959.
For the first time since World
War II, church membership per
centage gains fell below the esti
mated population Increase.
Church membership gains were
1.4 per cent in 1961, against
an estimated rise of 1.6 per cent
in the nation’s population.
The ratio had been 1.9 per
cent against 1.8 per cent a year
earlier. For the second year in
succession, this may indicate
that membership potential has
leveled off at least temporarily.
THE TOTAL number of pas
tors having charges is given as
247,009, while the number of
ordained persons is 381,252, ac
cording to a tabulation of infor
mation from 236 of the 258 re
ligious bodies reporting.
