Keough, who 45 years ago was encouraged to study for the priesthood by a Jewish tailor of his neighborhood in New Bri tain, Conn., made the man a guest of honor in his recent installation as Archbishop of Baltimore. The story of this reciprocation of an act of friendship was re printed in the Congressional Rec ord here at the instance of Rep resentative Ellsworth B. Foote, of Connecticut, who termed it “a splendid example of tolerance.” The tailor, a Russian immigrant named Samuel Greenburg, whose benefactions to children are leg endary in New Britain, described to newsmen his reception in Bal timore after he received the invi tation from Archbishop Keough, his one-time friend, “Frankie”, who used to do odd chores around the tailor shop. “I. borrowed some money form my married daughter and got on the train with my wife, Son ia,” he explained. “A priest met us at the station and drove us to the Cathedral, where we were ush ered into a pew set aside for us. I “When Archbishop Keough passed our pew, flanked by all those Church dignitaries, he stop ped and said: ‘Hello Sam.’ I was so amazed I was scared.” And that wasn’t all. After the installation, he was invited to at tend a dinner in a Baltimore Ho tel, and found there that the Arch bishop had thoughtfully ordered a kosher meal for him, right in the midst of the Catholic festivi ties. The prelate also paid all the Greensburgs’ expenses for a week’s stay in Baltimore. Turning back in his mind to the days of Archbishop Keough’s youth Mr. Greenburg told us in terviewers that “you could see that Frankie was different from other kids in the neighborhood.” Bishop Waters Announces Pastoral Appointments for Raleigh Diocese RALEIGH — Three pastoral appointments and an assistant director of the Home Missionary Apostolate have been announced by his Excellency, the Most Reverend Vincent S.

The school children took part in the affair and there were many parishioners present. The new Mother of Mercy church is well under construction and the parishioners hope it will be dedicated some time in the first part of June. For over 20 years, since its foundation by Father Mark Moselein, C. P., the parish has been looking forward to this new building. During these years, two schoolrooms have been con verted over each weekend into a small chapel in which Masses were offered. Conditions at this parish have been similar to those of St. Monica’s in Raleigh not long ago when classrooms were used for mass, and like St. Mon ica’s, the Mother of Mercy Parish hope soon to have a new church of their own. Fr. Conran Free, C. P.( arrived recently to take up his duties as secpnd assistant at the Mother of Mercy Parish. Fr. Daniel McDe vitt, C. P., is now the first assist ant.

Reds Encourage Misery To Gain Own Ends, Says Prelate In Fund Appeal CINCINNATI — Soviet Russia “is laboring for confusion and cha os and hunger to gain the atheistic and communistic mastery of the world,” Archbishop John T. Mc Nicholas, O. P., of Cincinnati, charged in a sternly-worded radio address here. He added that if the USSR succeeds, it will mean “tyr anny and slavery, international misunderstanding and strife, and, inevitably, another global war.” The Archbishop, who is chair man of the Administrative Board, National Catholic Welfare Confer ence, was speaking oh behalf of the $5,000,000 campaign for the Bishops’Fund for Victims of War. He did not mention Russia by name but said that he spoke “plainly of these destrudtive1 meas ures because they have prevented world peace and have kept the peoples of many countries hun gry, sick and in a state of terror annd desperation.” Directing his words to an ap peal for war’s victims, the Arch bishop said that the “times in which we are living record a greater visitation of evils on more persons in more countries them was ever known in past ages.” He said that the piteous plight of DP’S, refugees and expellees mill ing about in war-torn countries is accentuated by “the most brutal persecution of all centuries,” which is being carried on by ocm munists. He reminded that the relief work of the Catholic Bishops and of. many charitable or ganizations will prove a tre mendous help to the U. S. gov ernment through their disinterst ed plan of making countries, now rependent on charity, self-support ing. Reminding his hearers that there “can be no such thing as spirit ual isolationism in dealing with our brothers in Christ in all na tions,” he added that “we Ameri cans have not sought, but we are forced to assume not only the pri macy of world power but of world peacemaker.”
