REPLIES TO CARDINAL SPELLMAN
Mrs. Roosevelt Denies
Any Bias Against Catholics
Hyde Park, N. Y. VP) Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, denying any
bias against the Roman Catholic church," said she would "con
tinue to stand for the things in our government which I think are
right."
She made the statements in
a letter to Francis Cardinal
Spellman who assailed her last
Friday in a letter for a "record
of anticatholicism . . . unworthy
of an American mother."
"I assure you," wrote Mrs.
Roosevelt, "that I have no sense
of being an 'unworthy Ameri
can mother.' The final judg
ment, my dear Cardinal Spell
man, of the worthiness of all
human beings is in the hands
of God."
The controversy stemmed
from . Mrs. Roosevelt's opposi
tion to federal aid to parochial
schools. Cardinal Spellman said
Mrs. Roosevelt aligned herself
with backers of the Barden bill
in her June 23 column and two
others.
The Barden bill would per
mit federal aid only to public
schools. Mrs. Roosevelt mention
ed Cardinal Spellman's opposi
tion to the Barden bill in her
column.
Mrs. Roosevelt wrote the
cardinal:
"I have no bias against the
Roman Catholic church."
She added:
"I have no intention of attack
ing you personally, nor of at
tacking the Roman Catholic
church, but I shall, of course,
continue to stand for the things
in our government which I
think are right.
"They may lead me to be in
opposition to you and to other
groups within our country, but
I shall always act, as far as I
am able, from real conviction
and from honest belief."
In her reply Mrs. Roosevelt
declared, "I have never advo
cated the Barden bill nor any'
other specific bill on education
now before the congress. I be
lieve, however, in federal aid
to education."
The Barden bill is a substi
tute for a measure already pass
ed by the senate which would
allow the states to use the fed
eral funds for parochial and
private schools if they so de
sired. The Cardinal's attack on Mrs.
Roosevelt brought her support
from such persons as former
New York state governor Her
bert H. Lehman, Bernard Bar-
uch and the Rt. Rev. Charles
K. Gilbert, protestant Episcopal
bishop of New York.
Meanwhile, a new move start
ed in congress to rescue federal
aid to education from the reli
gious controversy now sur
rounding it. Rep Morton (R.,
Ky.) said he is drafting a bill
based on the principle of state
needs.
It would omit restrictions on
parochial school assistance
which have been denounced by
Roman Catholic churchmen.

$15,000 Yearly
Paid for Flags
Washington, July 28 VP) The
Star Spangled Banner long

That's the goal of a research
project undertaken by the pub
lic bu i 1 d i n g s administration,
which buys flags for more than
1500 buildings at a cost of about
$13,000 a year.
The average cotton-and-wool
bunting flag lasts 27 days, Build
ings Commissioner W. E. Rey
nolds told reporters. The flags
fade and tear more quickly in
winter than in summer, and
some areas are harder on flags
than others. On buildings in the

area, for example, at least one

Flag testers will work with
many different materials, with
plastic lacquers and chemical
processes, and with various
types of stitching.
Last winter, for the first time,
a nylon flag was tested. It was
flown from the new interior
building for 76 days, a record
for that season.
Nylon costs about twice aa
much as standard bunting, however.
