The spirit of intolerance of the campaign period has not completely gone, states a report of the National Catholic Welfare Conference News Service issued here. The appointment of William J. Donovan did not materialize because of his faith, the Service asserts, declaring:
“Much as President Hoover and those who will be associated with him in the new administration might desire it, the ghost of intolerance raised during the campaign has not been laid. It will stalk boldly in Congress when the new order has been established and the elections forgotten, and it will hover in the vicinity of the executive offices when President Hoover begins his formidable task. Even in the selection of his Cabinet the President-elect has been made aware of its malignant presence. Objection has been made to the prospective appointment of William J. Donovan, a close personal friend of the new President, solely on the ground of his faith.”
