LABOUR PARTY IN N.S.W.
Officials Withdraw From Executive
(Rec. 9 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 13. Five leading officials of big unions have withdrawn from the New South Wales Australian Labour Party executive —the governing body of the Labour Party in the State. Their withdrawal caused a sensation at the annual conference of the New South Wales branch of the party yesterday. The move caused immediate speculation on whether it presaged a deepening of the split in the State Labour Party ranks. The five officials who did not nominate for the new executive were Messrs T. Dougherty (Federal secretary of the Australian Workers’ Union). C. Oliver (New South Wales secretary of the Australian Workers’ Union). W.’E. Allport (vice-president of the Timber Workers’ Union), J. Williams (general secretary of the Builders’ Labourers’ Union), and G. Neilly (general secretary of the Miners’ Federation).
Pope Proclaims Five New Saints (Rec. 8 p.m.) ROME, June 12. Thousands of persons, including many children, braved a scorching summer sun today to see the solemn open-air ceremony in the vast space outside St. Peter’s, at which the Pope proclaimed five new saints. Among the five was an Italian boy, 14-year-old Domenico Savio, the youngest boy ever to be formally canonised, and a French missionary. Pierre Louis Marie Chanel, who died a martyr when he was slain by cannibals on the South Sea island of Futuna. The new saints all died in the last century. Domenico Savio was a disciple of St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesian Society, whose 170,000 members take part in educational and social work all over the world. The other saints were Gaspare del Bufalo, a Roman priest who founded the missionary society of the Most Precious Blood, Giuseppe Maria Pignatelli, an Italian nobleman and Jesuit priest, born in Spain, who helped to re-estab-lish the Society of Jesus in Italy, and Maria Crocifissa di Rosa, foundress of the New Servants of Charity, a congregation of nursing sisters.
