CATHOLIC WOMEN END CONVENTION Right Rev. Fulton J. Sheen Says Civilized Code Rests on Womanhood. The level of any civilization is the Jevel of its womanhood, delegates to the seventeenth annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Wom- en were told by Right Rev. Fulton J. Sheen in an address at the closing banquet of the convention last night in the Mayflower Hotel “It is the demands you make upon | our civilization which determine what | that civilization will be.” he said. “The world today needs mothers who will sanctify the nations; not the mothers | of the sickle and hammer. It needs penitent mothers who know the spirit of sacrifice and humility.” ‘The banquet followed a closing busi- Ress session at which the delegates elected seven directors to fill vacan- eies on the board and adopted a num- ber of resolutions, among them de- nunciations of birth control and the distribution of salacious literature.

ELEVATION URGED, D. C. BISHOP SILENT Dr. Freeman Declines Com- ment on Move to Be Named Presiding Prelate. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bish- op of Washington, declined to com- ment today on the suggestion that he should be elected presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The proposal was put forward by Right Rev. George Craig Stewart, Bishop of Chicago, in a statement is- sued to the press yesterday. Bishop Freeman said he knew the suggestion had been made, but ex- plained that he would prefer not to say anything about it. and hitherto has expressed himself as believing he was “ineligible” to head the church organization. The statement released by Bishop Stewart reads: “I believe Washington should be ® ESTABLISHED 1865 o IN OCTOBER He is 71 years old, | designated the see city, thus giving the presiding bishop a jurisdiction, and in order to make the plan immediately operative I feel the present Bishop of Washington should be designated as the first presiding bishop under the new plan.” Right Rev. James De Wolf Perry, Bishop of Rhode Island, is the incum- bent, but his term expires next week, coincident with the opening of the triennial convention of the church at Cincinnati. Bishop Freeman, it was announced at the Washington Cathedral today, will preach in the great choir there on Sunday afternoon, his subject being “An Unchanging Church in a Chang- ing World.” He will leave for the convention Monday.
