...schools have 48,000 students (compared with 93,000 in public schools), Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel, 85, eight years ago denounced segregation as "morally wrong and sinful." Last week the archdiocese announced that "all Catholic children" may now apply to all Catholic schools. Cried Political Boss Leander Perez, a segregationist and Roman Catholic: "What can the people do?

Former Editor Fred Sullens was a sulphurous segregationist who predicted that even Negroes would come to "curse" the U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 school integration decision. YOU ARE FOR US OR AGAINST US, thundered a 1956 Sullens editorial charging that anyone who was "not worried over the imminence of miscegenation, mixed marriages and mongrelization" had "no more backbone than a skinned banana." When Sullens died four years ago, the editor's chair passed to onetime News Carrier Boy Jimmy Ward, and the News's racist drum missed...
