OCR Text	Show Catholics Are Translating Bible Into Modern 'American' BOSTON. First "American" translation of the Catholic Bible is under way in this country, complete com-plete with "phrases and spelling proper to ourselves rather than to the English," reports the Rev. Matthew Stapleton, former head of the American Catholic Biblical association, as-sociation, which is charged with the translation. So far, the group of Catholic scholars has put the first five books of the Old Testament into modern "American" from the ancient Greek and Hebrew texts. To preclude possible bafflement of Bible readers outside the United States, two other Old Testament translations into English are in progress in England.
