Like a monarch with a cabinet, the "Black Pope" of the Society of Jesus has a curia of seven assistants. All must live in Rome. Last week "Black Pope" Wlodimir Ledochowski, able, rugged Pole, summoned Very Rev. Zacheus J. Maher of San José, Calif, to be his assistant for North America. San Francisco-born Jesuit Maher has been president of Santa Clara University...

Aloysius Henry Rohde, assistant to the Jesuit provincial in Chicago, will be the school's temporary rector until a full one is appointed by that most formidable cleric, the Superior General or "Black Pope," Wlodomir Ledochowski in Rome.

Vlodimir Ledochowski, S.J., Superior General at Rome, was read at mealtime. Rev. William J. Duane, S.J., 63, having completed the six years in office permitted by canon law, got up from the head of the table and bowed to Rev. Aloysius G. Hogan, S.J., 37, who took his place. Next day Father Duane sailed for Rome. It is not expected that he will do any more educational work...
