Bishop Lamont On Rhodesia’s Racial Problems
DAVENPORT, Iowa (NC)
- Despite his conviction on
charges of aiding guerrilla
forces, Bishop Donal Lamont
of Umtali, Rhodesia, remains
a very warm, friendly person
who is much more concerned
about a peaceful solution to
his country’s racial problems
than about his own situation.
That is.the impression Sen.
Dick Clark (D-Iowa) has
about the Rhodesian bishop
after meeting him in
mid-November.
Clark, chairman of the
African affairs subcommittee
of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee,
returned in December from a
six-week, 11-nation tour of
central and southern Africa.
One of his stops was
Rhodesia, where he spent a
couple of hours with Bishop
Lamont on Nov. 14.
In an interview by phone
from his Washington office,
Clark told the Catholic
Messenger, Davenport
diocesan newspaper, that
Bishop Lamont was the first
person he met upon arriving
in Rhodesia. Bishop Lamont
is free on appeal and met
with Clark for breakfast in
Clark’s room.
“I had contacted him prior
to going to Rhodesia to tell
him that I would like very
much to meet with him when
I was there,” said Clark.
Clark said he found it
“remarkable” how little
Bishop Lamont wanted to
talk about his own case. They
talked about it for about 15
minutes, with Bishop Lamont
noting that there was not
much to be said about the
conviction other than it had
happened.
“I asked him if he thought
he was ever going to have to
serve time as a result of the
conviction, and he felt it was
entirely possible,” said Clark.
“He’s a very, very friendly,
warm person,” added Clark
about Bishop Lamont. “He’s
very little concerned about
himself, but he has a
tremendous amount of
interest in the Rhodesian
situation.”
Clark said his conversation
with Bishop Lamont then
turned to the country’s racial
problems, the oppressive
nature of the Rhodesian
government headed by Prime
Minister Ian Smith, and
whether the United States
would continue to press for a
peaceful settlement of the
racial issues.
According to Clark, Bishop
Lamont told of some of
the pressures that opponents
of white minority rule face
under the Smith government.
He told Clark how the
British Broadcasting
Corporation (BBC) had
phoned him for an interview.
About halfway through the
interview, a Rhodesian
official who was monitoring
the conversation broke in and
told the BBC that it should
not listen to Lamont and that
what he was saying was
wrong.
Clark also noted that when
he later met with Smith, he
mentioned to the prime
minister that he had earlier
met with Bishop Lamont and
told Smith that he thought
Bishop Lamont was a “very
reasonable person.”
That statement brought no
response from Smith,
according to Clark.
Clark noted the criticism
that has been aimed at Bishop
Lamont, saying that “those
who believe in the Smith
regime and believe in white
rule are of course very', very
critical of the bishop. Those
who think there has to be a
change see him as one of their
great heros.”

Cardinal Hails Daley
As ‘Man Of The People’
CHICAGO (NC) - Mayor Richard J. Daley, who dominated
this city for more than 20 years and was considered the decisive
factor in the election of the first Catholic president of the
United States, died of a heart attack Dec. 20 in his physician’s
office. He was 74.
Cardinal John Cody of Chicago called him “a man of the
people” in a statement issued after the mayor’s death.
As chairman of the Cook County Democratic Central
Committee since 1953, Daley controlled one of the last big city
political machines. First elected mayor in 1955, he was
reelected five times for an unprecedented six terms.
He was also a major force in Illinois Democratic politics and
usually controlled the state’s large delegation to the Democratic
national convention.
In 1960 he delivered the Illinois votes to John F. Kennedy,
who won the party’s nomination. The mayor worked
enthusiastically for Kennedy’s election and delivered a
465,000-vote plurality for Kennedy in Cook County to give the
Democratic candidate a slim 8,858-vote edge over Richard M.
Nixon in Illinois.
Daley’s role in the 1968 convention became a center of
controversy as Chicago police battled antiwar demonstrators
outside the International Amphitheatre, where Daley delivered
the Illinois delegation to Hubert H. Humphrey. Despite injuries
to several hundred persons, Daley stoutly defended the police.
In 1972, Democratic party rule changes led to a replacement
of Daley’s delegates by those led by Alderman William Singer
and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a black activist. Daley was barred
from the convention.
In 1976, Daley supported Jimmy Carter and worked for the
Democratic ticket, but Carter did not win in Illinois. At a press
conference in August with Sen. Walter Mondale, now the Vice
President-elect, Daley, who attended Mass every day, told
reporters that religion would not be a factor in the campaign,
and voters would not be swayed by statements from the clergy.
In eulogizing Daley, Cardinal Cody said: “When a man attains
a position of great power in the eyes of a city, country and
indeed the world, the common temptation, the ordinary failing,
is to forget one’s origins - to forget who you are and whence
you came. Mayor Richard J. Daley was an exception to this sad
rule.
“He was a man of the people - in touch with the people,
smiling in their joy, weeping in their sorrow. He was a man of
the family - their pillar of strength, yet strengthened in turn by
his good wife, children and grandchildren . . .
“Finally, he was a man of faith - a man proud enough to
believe in God’s love, yet humble enough to know that all life
and power have their foundation in God and ultimately return
to Him.”
The cardinal added: “His impact on our city and time will
not easily be erased or forgotten.”
