Catholic Church Shows
Biggest Increase Last Year
NEW YORK, W>—Roman Cath
olic membership in this country
increased last year at a faster pace
than Protestant Church member
ship, says the National Council of
Churches.
Total membership in the United
States in 1959 was put at 112,226,
905 from reports of 254 religious
bodies to the National Council’s
Bureau of Research a"d Survey.
This represented an increase of
2.4 per cent over 1958, or 2,669,
164 members.
The figures were taken from
“the Yearbook of American
Churches for 1961, sheduled for
publication next Monday.
Catholic membership was placed
at 40,871,302 in 1959, an increase
of 1,361,794 over 1958.
The statistics showed that Cath
olic growth in the nation was 3.4,
Protestant growth 1.7, while esti
mated growth for the period was
1.8 per cent.
The Yearbook observed that
“No precise comparison is pos
sible” between Catholic and Pro
testant memberships, since most
Protestant churches count only
those who have reached full
membership, usually at 13, while
Catholics count all baptized per
sons, including infants.
But Protestant figures, from re
ports of 226 bodies, totaled 62,
534,502 members, an increase of
1,038,833 over the 61,504,669 re
ported in 1958 by 224 groups.
The Synagogue Council of Am
erica put persons of the Jewish
faith at 5Vfc million, unchanged
from 1958.

Fires Four Polarises
While Submerged
WASHINGTON, UP) — The sub- j
marine Patrick Henry has sue- :
cessfully test-fired four combat- j
type Polaris missiles from a po
sition about 500 miles off the
coast of Florida, the Navy an
nounced today.
The firings were during an
Oct. 15-18 period.
“All of the missiles went the
full programmed range and land
ed in the planned impact area,”
the announcement said.
The full range of a Polaris is
1,200 miles, but the shots an
nounced today were not neessar
ily all programmed for that range.
The Patrick Henry failed in
earlier missile launching efforts
several weeks ago. Three of four
attempted launchings were un

The Navy said all four missiles
were identical to the tactical mis
siles which will be carried by Po
laris submarines except for war
heads and a small amount of in
strumentation.
