WOMEN HELP IN RACE CRISIS 1 W ASHINGTON.—Mrs. Joseph McCarthy, president of the National Council of Catholic Women, has endorsed President Kennedy's civil rights programme.
"As Catholic women," she said, -we express Our urgent moral concern for the racial crisis in our country and pledge to support tite President's civil rights programme and to continue to co-operate and work with all women of good will to secure justice for all Americans." Mrs McCarthy made this statement after she and other N.C.C.W. officials took part in a White House meeting of some 300 leaders of women's groups with President Kennedy. The participants represented a hundred organisations of women with fifty million members. The N.C.C.W. president said that during the conference Mr. Kennedy asked the women to work through their organisations to implement a five-point programme. She said he urged them to: • Work to stop school dropouts and get "all educatable children" back into school; • Take part in "bi-racial and human relations conferences" and "establish contacts with responsible members of the Negro community:" • E,tablish leadership training courses for women; • Support the administration's civil rights legislative programme, especially the effort to obtain a public accommodations law which would bar segregation in hotels, stores and other public places: • "Throw open the membership of all women's organisations to all races."
Following the conference with the President, the women's leaders met together and adopted a resolution pledging to work to "create public understanding of our moral responsibilities and to implement the President's civil rights programme." Mrs. McCarthy pointed to the Catholic women's council's 1963 leadership institute programme on race relations —"Challenge to Justice and Love- — as an example of the federation's concern for racial justice. She also cited a resolution adopted at the N.C.C.W.'s November, 1962, convention stressing the "dignity of each human being- and declaring that "we must abolish prejudice and discrimination from our own lives and, because we are our brother's keeper, we must help abolish them in our communities." •04.04,
