They also in- dicate that Spellman, . once the Pope's favorite and in line to be-| come papal secretary, may have lost | that privileged position to Cardin- al Stritch of Chicago, a more liber- al prelate and -a friend of the Roosevelt family. In addition to the Vatican, Ed Flynn, Irish boss of the Bronz, em- phatically demanded that Cardinal | Spellman make peace with thel former first lady. Flynn, who knew | Spellman long before he became ' Cardinal, was brief and to the| point. “If you don’t patch up this fight with Mrs. Rocsevelt,” he told Speli- man, “we won't be able to elect a Catholic to any office in New York state for the next 30 years.” Flynn had in mind the long-time alliance between Jewish and Cath- olic voters in New York, which has voted Democratic ever since the early days of Roosevelt. This al- liance, respousible for Democratic victories during the past 16 years, _was seriously threatened by Catho- lic cpposition to ex-Governor Leh- man and his candidacy for the Senate Cardinal Spellman himself was credited with spearheading the Leh- man opposition because the ex- Governor last year served on a committee of protest against ban- ning The Nation” from New York public school libraries. army can LEHMAN VS. SPELLMAN “The Nation” was banned be- cause it carried a series of articles by Paul Blanshard, prior to publi- cation in book form, critical of the church. Lehman, on the other hand, argued that since New York public schools are attended by Protestants | and Jews as well as Catholics, their reading material should not be fixed by Catholics alone. Leh- man felt that the church had ev- ery right to set the ding mater- | jal in its own parochial schools, but not in public schools supported by the taxpayers. Cardinal Spellman, however, vig- orously disagreed and wrote the ex- Governor a sharp personal letter And later Lehman received word from Catholic leaders that if he, ran for the Senate this fall, he would have organized Catholic op- position.

( Actually, Mrs. Roosevelt had no idea that the Cardinal was coming to see her in the country. And, | contrary to all reports, the p;u'u-l chial-school issue was not discuss-. ed. The Cardinal talked about the | late President, plus various non- church matters. Finally Mrs. Roosevelt brought up the question of Governor Leh- man and expressed the opinion that it would be in the best in- terest of all the people if he were to become a candidate for the Sen- ate. She also mentioned the Card- inal’s reported opposition. The Cardinal then said that when he got back to New York he would be happy to make it emphat- cally clear that he was not oppos ed to Lehman. He further said he would sue instructions throughout his domain that there should be no church opposition to the benign ex-Governor of New York The meeting ended on happy and cordial note. A B C E F!
