Tape Recording of
Priest's Interview
Rapped by Lawyer
Vancouver, B.C. H'PD A
lawyer criticized police today
for making a secret tape re
cording of an interview be
tween a Roman Catholic
priest and a woman accused
of attempted extortion.
Lawyer John Macey, de
fending the woman and her
husband against a charge of
trying to extort $15,000 from
a 77-year-old widow, said the
police action undermines the
whole foundation of religion.
Macey's accusation came
after Prosecutor Donald Mor
rison sought to introduce in
court tape recordings made at
police headquarters durii.g an
interview between Mrs. Elea
nor Lloyd, 23; and the Rev.
Alousius Craven.
Left Alone
The interview took place in
the office of Detective Inspec
tor Ian McGregor, head of the
city's criminal investigation
branch, the day after Mrs.
Lloyd and her husband, Don
ald. 26, were arrested.
Police arranged the inter
view after Mrs. Lloyd asked
to talk to a priest. The two
were left alone in the office.
Father Craven called the
incident "sneaky."
If the recordings are al
lowed as evidence, "perhaps
the greater crime will have
been committed by the police
and prosecutor's office," Ma
cey said.
Macey also said in future
lawyers will not be certain
that their talks with clients
in the police station are not
being recorded. Under the
law such conversations are
privileged and cannot be in
troduced as evidence.
Phone Call Recorded
Macey was given until next
Thursday to prepare an argu
ment to support his objection
to introduction of the re
cordings.
Earlier in the trial, Macey
did not object to the introduc
tion of a tape recording made
of one of four threatening
telephone calls received by
Mrs. Mary McDonald at her
home on Nov. 15 by an uni
dentified man.
The man said: "This is a
kidnaping case. We are hold
ing your foster daughter,
Shirley Bishler, for $15,000."
"If we don't get the money
by 5 p.m. today she will be
killed," he said.
Mrs. McDonald said she
was ordered to put the money
in a shoe-box, call a taxi and
place the box under a mail
box in Vancouver.
Police prepared a dummy
package and arrested the
Lloyds after staking the mail
box area.

Oregon Will Take
Part in ADC Check
Salem - H'Pli - The Oregon
Public Welfare Department
said today it would partici
pate in a nationwide eligibil
ity check of Aid to Dependent
Children recipients.
The three-month study was
ordered by the Senate Appro
priations Committee. The De
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare said the study,
spurred by discovery of wel
fare cheating in the District
of Columbia, will cover about
2 per cent of the national case
load. Oregon Welfare Adminis
trator Andrew Juras said 146
cases will be investigated in
Oregon. They will be drawn at
random from the files, he said.

Danbury, Conn.-flJPD-The
more easy victories we can
win over segregation," said
the Rev. John D. Verdery
"the fewer the really difficult
battles will become
The Rev. Mr. Verdery is
headmaster of Wooster school,
a small but excellent college
preparatory school delated to
the Episcopal church
Seven years ago, Wooster
had an all-white student body
Today it has the highest pro
portion of Negro students
about 6 per cent-in any inde
pendent school in the east
The integration of a boy's
boarding school in New Eng
land is' an "easy victory," the
Rev. Mr. Verdery said, com
pared with the admission of a
Negro student to the Univer
sity of Mississippi.
Worth Winning
But Wooster's experience
has convincd him that easy
victories are well worth win
ning. "Prejudice hits men where
they're weakest," he said in
an interview. "Why don't men
hit prejudice where it's weak
est? "Pressing the issue of inte
gration a little harder, in
situations where the opposi
tion is likely to be weakest,
is a tactic that has been too
much neglected in our pre-J
occupation with the tough-nut
cases."
The tall Episcopal minister
acknowledged he had some
trepidation about admission of
Negroes to Wooster. An inde
pendent school, even though
it is located in the north, is
exceedingly vulnerable to
economic pressure.
No Negro Applied
He also had a handy ration
alization for dodging the
whole issue. Like many other
private institutions, Wooster
could honestly claim that no
Negro had applied for admis
sion. "It took us some years to
face honestly the simple fact
that Negro parents, like other
parents, are not eager to place
their children in an environ
ment in which they have rea
son to believe they are not
really wanted," the Rev Mr.
Verdery said. "From a pract
ical standpoint, the institution
that wants Negroes must at
first ask them to come. If it
has none, it is fair to say that
Sheridan Attorney
Has Trial Recessed
Portland -IUPD- The tax eva
sion trial of Sheridan attorney
and businessman Otto Heider
Sr. Wednesday was recessed
until Jan. 28 to allow govern
ment and defense attorneys to
discuss Holder's financial
records.
Heider is charged with
evading federal income taxes
on 5127,000 during 1953 and
1954.
Federal Judue Gus J. Solo
mon called the recess to allow
attorneys to investigate cer
tain discrepancies in their
figures.
is simply doesn't want them
Wooster went out and in
vited qualified Negro students
to apply, and offered them
sholarship aid, if they need
ed it. The first Negro stu
dents were admitted in the
fall of 1955 "without a single
incident and with hardly a
murmur of protest from any
quarter."
Problem of Conscience
Then the Rev. Mr. Verdery
found himself confronted with
another and more subtle prob
lem of conscience. The fash
ionable thing to do was to ad
mit one or f o "symbolic
Negroes" as proof that the
school had no color barrier.
But he felt such token in
tegration of a private institu
tion was a fraud. "Morally,
the symbolic Negro, except
as a first step, is a dishonest
gesture," he said.
Wooster now has eight Ne
gro boys in a student body of
140. Far from causing diffi
culties, they have fitted into
school life so quietly that the
Rev. Mr. Verdery wonders
why he ever worried about
integration.
Applicable Elsewhere
"I suspect that some of the
lessons we've learned here
may be applicable to many
other situations," he said.
"A few white people of
leadership and conviction
could break the color line in
thousands of schools, colleges,
clubs, professional organiza
tions and business offices,
with hardly a blow being
struck in opposition.
"We shouldn't scorn the
easy victories. Much progress
is being thwarted by a kind of
prejudice which is not real
ly deep-seated, which is noth
ing more than irresponsible
lethargy."
Quotes From the News
By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Phoenix, Ariz. - Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) in an
nouncing that he would not run for the vice presidency in
1964:
"After watching the greatest magician in the White House
make LBJ (Vice President Lyndon Johmon) diiappear, I
don't want to become lero,"
Albany, N.Y, - New York Supreme Court Justice Russell
G, Hunt, ruling that a Communist has no right to lecture at
a state university or college:
"We should be mindful that the freedoms are dependent
upon the survival of constitutional government, and that for
the latter to survive it must have the power to protect itself
against unlawful conduct end whatever is harmful to the
public welfare and interest."
Hamburg, Germany - A spokesman for a German ship
ping line, confirming that one of its cruise vessels would be
used to transport Cuban prisoners:
"We are ready to tail on two hours' notice."
Havana - A relative of a Cuban prisoner, convinced that
bargaining to release the men captured at the Bay of Pigs
invasion would succeed:
"Thank God, all our feari are over. Now it is only a
matter of days before our loved ones will be free."
