ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH THURSDAY, 1956 Calls Latin America VitolTotLS. Importance of the Pan Amefl can highway opening up the vast and rich regions of Centra America to fruitful contact xvUI the world was stressed by John Creighton Murray ih an addresi Wednesday night. The violinist and lecturer ad I dresses a ladies' night dinne i meeting of Alton Area Te Deum I at Our Lady Queen of Peac Church hall in Bethalto. His top. ic was "Mexico and Central America." The New York musician has toured Central America am Mexico.

In the latter country lust year, he played 110 concerts and at one in Mexico City attracted the largest crowd ever to hear a concert in the Mexican capital. Murray discussed Mexico and the Catholic Church, and declared: "The toleration of the (Catholic) Church in Mexico today is the result of a bloody revolution which the Catholics fought between 1926 and 1929, known as the Cristero movement and not, as the present government would like to claim, because of broadmindedness on its part." The great untapped riches of Latin America make that part of the world vital to all future American policy, said Murray, who last year was lauded in Congress for his contribution to good relations in the Western Hemisphere. Rep. Bosch of New York quoted a letter from a leading Mexican newspaper praising Murray's good will accomplishments. After his address, Murray played a half dozen selections on his Stradivarius violin, and concluded with Schubert's "Ave Maria." His virtuosity brought long applause.

The lecturer-musician was introduced by Nicholas Schwegel, president of Te Deum. The invocation was given by Father Thomas Manning, pastor of Our Lady Queen of Peace, and the thanksgiving after dinner by Father William Croke, pastor of St Matthew's.
