In telling of the present
strength of the U. S. Catholic
Press. Bishop Gorman said it
"strode ahead in the last year to
a record circulation of 22.629.394
—a gain of more than a million
and a half.” In all, he added,
there were 128 newspapers and
433 magazines.
Bishop Gorman said it was a
crowded and steadily growing
“news year.” The activities of the
Pope and the Vatican "continued
to be a source of a great volume
of news of high importance’
Catholic news on the internation
al level continued to increase in
amount and interest, and there
was Catholic news in great vol
ume and variety on the domestic
scene.
Citing an example of the Cath
olic Press in action, the Episco
pal Chairman said News Service
stories had brought about a quick
correction of “an obnoxious and
also a dangerous situation” relat
ing to the sale of indecent litera
ture in armed forces PXs over
seas. He also reported that the
News Service “has provided more
copy to bring out the spurious
ness of the ‘new’ communist
‘look’ than has any news agency.”
The Bishop said too that the serv
ice has “stepped up” the use of
"outside” writers expert in their
fields to write on unusual events.
Varied Activity
In Education
Scores of projects carried out
under a dozen different classifica
tions were reported by the NCWC
Department of Education, reflect
ing a year of intense and varied
activity-
Bishop Matthew F. Brady nf
Manchester. N II episcopal chair
man of the department, told his
fellow bishops that the works of
the department fell under one or
more of these general divisions:
To direct, assist and encour
age projects and prrgrams to
synthesize Catholic principles
of education with a practical
and efficient school program
that meets commonly accepted
standards of professional excel
lence.
To stimulate and assist Catho
lic schools to participate in civic
and community enterprises for
the purpose of making Catholic
education an integral part of
American life.
To promote a sense of spiritual
and professional solidarity in the
Catholic school system by serv
ing as a central clearing house of
information and service through
out the United States.
To take an interest in the
spiritual welfare of public
school children by cooperation

Youth Council
Positive Action
The most encouraging point of
present youth work is the accent
i.n production rather than pre
\entivc and corrective work. And
according to Archbishop Leo
Bin/, ol Dubuque, this trend is
perhaps, more marked in the
National Council ol Catholic
Xoiith than in any other youth
movement.
Archbishop i n z, Episcopal
chairman of the NCWC Youth
Department, said in his annual
report that various lay and clergy
leaders of youth are beginning to
realize that youth organizations
must be designed not merely for
protecting young people from had
environments but also for prepar
in ihem to correct their environ
nients when necessary.
The Youth Council, the report
added, is preparing young peo
ple to take their place in society
as adults hy means of its pro
gram ol spiritual, social, cultural
and physical activities, with em
phasis on the spiritual.
The particularly spiritual aim
of th council was brought out
during the Youth Week ol 1955,
the report noted. Though no rec
ords were kept, indications were
that the number of young people
participating in the National Ca
tholic Youth Communion Sunday
and National Catholic outh Com
munion Crusade could he con
servatively estimated at five mil
lion, it added.
Immigration Depl.
Handles 44,304 Cases
Forty tour recommendations
for changes in basic United States
immigration laws were drawn up
by the NCWC Department of Im
migration during the year, its
episcopal chairman. Bishop Ready
noted in his annual report.
The recommendations wore
originally put together for pre
sontotion at hearings of the
Senete Judiciary Subcommit
tee. Since the hearings were
ended before the recommenda
tions could be presented, they
will be introduced at hearings
on immigration matters sched
uled for early next year.
Included in the recommenda
tions is a request that the nation
al origin of prospective immi
grants no longer be used for al
locating quota numbers. The Im
migration Department also sug
gesU that present quotas be doub
led or that 1950 census figures be
used instead of 1920 statistics to
determine the number of persons

would result in an annual quota
of 220,000, it was estimated.
In another recommended
change the department asked
that all bona fide members of
recognized religious organize
fions be included in the non
quota classification.
During the year the depart
ment protested the deportation

tries of Catholic refugees or es
capees illegally' resident in the

In the year ending June 30.
1956. the department handled 44.

CCD Directors
In 128 Sees
Priest directors of the Confra
ternity ot Christian Doctrine have
been officially appointed in 25
archdioceses and 103 dioceses nf
the United States, it was stated
in a report prepared by the late
Archbishop Edwin V O'Hara.
Bishop of Kansas City. Mo and
chi rman of the Episcopal Com
mittee on the Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine Archbishop
O'Hara died in Milan, Italy, last
September, while enroute to an
international liturgical confer
ence in Assisi.
The program of the CCD looks
to the religious education of
all children youths and adults
within a parish who are noi in
Catholic schools.
‘The improved methods of
training available teachers, fish
ers. and helpers and increased
awareness of the need for stand
ardization should help in the ad
vance toward a system of weekly
religious instruction that will in
clude the numbers yet unreach
ed," the CCD report stated in his
connection.
It also dealt with such special
CCD activities as institutes for
priests, summer CCD leadership
courses. CCD training courses for
th lay apostolatc. publications,
regional meetings and congresses.

seamen made use of the clubs
connected with the National on
ference. an increase of four thou
sand over the preceding twelve
months.
Bishop Caillouet reported that
many seamen are reluctant to
make their confessions to their
parish priest, hut consider that
the chaplain connected with a
Maritime Club knows life on the
sea. and will be more understand
ing
In the past few years, there
have been several vocations from
members of lhe Apostleship.
T1 ee former members were or

CRS Says Some
Refugee Progress Made
Catholic Relief Services—Na
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence said in its report that “con
siderahle progress" in solving the
refugee problem has heen made
through resettlement programs,
but by no means has the problem
been resolved.
In the report, signed by Arch
bishop Francis P. Keough of Bal
timore. chairman of the CRS
NCWC board of trustees, the re
lief agency said "there are pock
ets of new refugees demanding
attention all over the world
“In addition to some 250.000
displaced persons who have heen
living in and out of camps since
1945. and who have the oldest
claim on the conscience of the
world, the most dramatic and
most tragic situation involves the
new escapees from behind the
Iron and Bamboo Curtains.” the
report said. It said there were
“steady streams" of refugees
from behind both barriers.
The report noted that the Refu
gee Act of 1953 expires in De
cembcr. 1956. and that without
passage of new Federal legisla
tion. refugee immigration in 1957
will be confined to those eligible
under the Immigration and Na
tinnality Act (McCarran Walter
Act), which does not have strong
provisions for bringing large
numbers of persons into this
country.
In regard to shipment of relief
materials, the report stated last
year CRS-NCWC made 682 ship
