The ceremony marked the prelude to nationwide observance (except in Utah-TIME, Oct. 17) of United Nations...
...Laetare Medal, considered the most important annual award given to U.S. Roman Catholic laymen, was presented by the University of Notre Dame to the American Federation of Labor's President George Meany in Washington, D.C. "The Church believes that unions are desirable and necessary," said Washington's Archbishop Patrick A.
