Seven years ago, tall Eugenic Cardinal Pacelli, Papal Secretary of State, laid his lean hands upon the round head of a plump U. S. priest, made him the first U. S. Roman Catholic bishop ever consecrated in St. Peter's Basilica. The bishop was Most Rev. Francis Joseph Spellman, whom the Pope had appointed Auxiliary to William Henry Cardinal O'Connell of Boston. This week Eugenio Pacelli, now Pope Pius XII, appointed Bishop Spellman to be Archbishop of the 1,000,000-odd Catholics of the see of New York, vacant since last September...

...Bishop Schrembs comes of a poor Bavarian family (16 children) which sent him to the U. S. at eleven, at the behest of a U. S. bishop whom he served at Mass. Bishop Schrembs is the hierarchy's ablest hymn-writer, hymn-singer, pianist and organist. His elevation to archbishop, symbolized by a lamb's-wool pallium (resembling a stole) which will be sent him from Rome, does not carry with it a like promotion for his diocese. His title will be : Archbishop Schrembs, Bishop of Cleveland...
