Cardinal Spellman
Severely Criticizes
Eleanor Roosevelt
NEW YORK. (£*)—Francis Car
dinal Spellman criticized Mrs.
Frank D. Roosevelt today for her
opposition to federal funds for
parochial and private schools.
In a letter to the former first
'lady, the Catholic prelate said
“Your record of anti-Catholicism
stands for all to see—a record
which you yourself wrote on the
pages of history which cannot be
recalled—documents of discrimin
ation unworthy of an American
mother.”
The Cardinal’s attack was based
on articles written by Mrs. Roose
velt in her column, “My Day.”
Mrs. Roosevelt’s secretary said
at Hyde Park that the letter had
not yet been received and that
there would be no comment until
after its arrival, if then. Cardinal
Spellman made the letter public.
He wrote that, after Mrs. Roose
velt’s first column on the Barden
Bill June 23, he had intended ig
noring it.
“But, as the days passed and in
two subsequent columns you con
tinued your anti-Catholic cam
paign, I became convinced that it
was in the interest of all Ameri
cans and the cause of justice itself
that your misstatements should be
challenged. ...”
