Ask Carter Step Up Hiring Catholics MILWAUKEE (NC) - Arguing that "'American Catholics have historically been very greatly underrepresented in federal appointments," the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has urged PresidentElect Jimmy Carter to step up hiring of Catholics in federal jobs. The request came in a letter from the League's executive director, Stuart Hubbell. "'No one, of course, would expect appointment of such individuals solely on the basis of their religion, but it is surely clear that qualified persons of the Catholic faith have been systematically or otherwise excluded from consideration in the past:' Hubbell said.
Three of Carter's 15 Cabinetlevel nominees so far are Catholic - Joseph Califano, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare; George Schultze, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers and Zbigniew Brzezinski, director of the National Security Council. The League has not yet received a reply to its letter, but a Carter transition spokesman said this was probably because the transition staff has not. been able to handle all its mail. Another transition staffer, Matthew Coffey, director of the Talent Inventory Program, said his office is including "ethnics" in its outreach programs which Turn to Page Five

By Gerard E. Sherry SAN FRANCISCO (NC) rich and powerful nations of the world have "a moral obligation to assist the poor and the weak:' Robert S. MeNamara, president of the World Bank, said in an interview in The Monitor, San Francisco archdiocesan newspaper. McNamara normally avoids reporters, but recently has
spoken out more and more on the need for the richer industrialized nations to help quicken the pace in economic improvement of the less developed nations, in many of which the majority still live in abject poverty. A native of San Francisco, the World Bank president was Defense Secretary under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. He served in that post from January,
1961, until March 1968. He became president of the World Bank a month later, and launched a program for major expansion of the bank's support of economic development among poorer nations. He was relected to a five-year term as head of the bank in 1973. Excerpts from the interview, mainly conducted by mail, follow: Turn to Page Seven
