Issue Os Religion In Politics Cited By LYt® C. WILSON United Press nternational WASHINGTON (UPD — Perhaps James A. Farley can illuminate that troublesome question of religion in politics which has become timely again because Seh. John F. Kennedy is a Catholic. For those who came in very Jate: Jim Farley was campaign manager of Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1932 and 1936 electoral triumphs. Farley balked at a third term. When FDR was nominated in 1940 for the third time, Farley refused to manage his campaign again. I Farley in 1940 was, himself, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in token opposition to term No. 3. He would have settled happily for second place on a ticket headed either by John N. Garner of Texas or the late Cordell Hull of Tennessee. In his book, “Jim Farley’s Story, the Roosevelt Years,’' Farley develops the devious story of FDR’s third term nomination. It was a political nonesuch properly counted as the best planned and organized spontaneous draft m the history of U.S. politics. The third termers feared Farley’s candidacy might wreck the plan. Perhaps even FDR feared that. Talks with Cardinal So, Farley relates that he was summoned by Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago, and met with him on July 12, 1939, in New York. Hie Cardinal had a major purpose, to persuade Farley to support FDR’s third nomination and election. Farley wrote this: “ .‘James,’ the cardinal studied me ernesUy, ‘you have always been most frank with me, so that I feel entirely free in broaching a most confidential matter to you. It is my sincere feeling that a Roman Catholic could not be elected president of the United States at this time or for many years to come. I hope, therefore, that you will do nothing to involve the Catholics of -the country in anbther debacle such., as we experienced in 1928 (when Alfred E. Smith of New York got the Democratic nomination).’’’ Farley’s response was that he did not feel free to discuss FDR’s third term possibilities because “I do not think you are the proper person’’ with whom to discuss them. Cardinal Mundelein expressed absolute confidence that FDR would -*eek a third term. Farley thought not, although he could no be sure. Cut Issue to Size “James,”» Mundelein insisted, •< do hot believe-a Catholic could win.’’ Farley replied: “A great many persons, among them the vice president (Garner), senators, representatives, and party leaders feel differently. Men who know something about politics. Conditions are not the same as they were 10 or 12 years ago. “When Smith ran, the Democratic Party was not in power; Smith was in the front of the repeal of the prohibition law; the country was prosperous; Smith’s choice of (John J.) Raskob, a Republican, for national chairman

was an affront to old line Democrats; Smith's cendut of the campaign was anything but skillful and diplomatic; it was doubtful that any Democrat could have been elected in that year, and the religious issue should not be blamed alone for Smith's defeat. On the other side of the picture, there is no reason to believe that the Democratic Party will not win in 1940.” That is Farley’s estimate of how the religious issue weighed in the 1928 contest between Smith and Herbert Hoover. There should be some comfort for Kennedy in that estimate. It seems to cut the issue of religion in politics I down to size.

Woman To Preside At Editor's Meet By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-For the first time in the history of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association, a woman will preside at the organization’s summer session. She is Mrs. Eleanor P. Jamison. publisher of The Sullivan Pally Times; .Vho is the association’s first woman president. She will be at the helm when the editors meet at French Lick Aug. 28-29. However, tradition won when the ■ executive committee of the editors decided to go to French Lick again, despite a bid from a new Democratic citadel, Fort Wayne, for the gathering. Ever since the heydays of the late Sen. Thomas Taggart, former owner of the French Lick Springs Hotel, the editorial association has staged its August session at the Southern Indiana spa. How to hold the three-fourths of the city halls now under Democratic control will be an important topic at the session in view of the municipal elections in November. Looking to 1960-62 ... But most of the hundreds of party leaders expeted to attend have their sights raised to the 1960 and 1962 contests. The 1960 interest centers about the nomination of candidates for presfßent, fcotfernol and Sate officials and the 1962 attraction is the selection of a nominee for senator. A number of the Democratic presidential front runners have fervent backers in Indiana. Former National Chairman Frank E. McKinney; Frank McHale, erstwhile national committeeman, and John Hurt, former secretary of the state committee, are backing Sen. Stuart Symington of Missouri. Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Arkansas. Senate majority floor leader, probably will have the support of Sen. Vance Hartke if he runs. Hartke has lined lip behind Johnson in a number of controversial issues in the Senate. Marion County Sheriff Robert O’Neal, a 'former superintendent of the Indiana State Police, and numerous other leaders over the state are said to favor Sen. John Kennedy, of Massachusetts. A Hoosier boom for Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, has been launched by Edward Rhett, formerlyftjf Salenp- whq has been ‘corinetfeff with a number of New Deal and Fair Deal alphabetical agencies in Washington throughout the years. May Enter Primary There are some indications that Kennedy and Humphrey will enter the Indiana presidential preference primary. The aspirants for governor will be in fast action at French Lick. They include the front runner, Sen. Matthew E. Welsh of Vincennes, State Auditor Albert Steinwedel of Seymour, House Speaker Birch Bayh Jr. of West Terre Haute, Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker who was the 1956 nominee, and possibly the reluctant dragon of yore. Roger D. Branigan of Lafayette, former president of the Indiana State Bar Association. There are some signs, however, that Bayh would settle for lieutenant governor or possibly for senator in 1962. i ■ i Over 2,50 v Da’ly Democrats are sold and delivere'" m Decatur each day. ’

Airliner Is Forced To Land In Baghdad ROME (UPI) — The pilot of a Scandinavian Airlines System plane forced to land in Baghdad said today, there was “no real explanation” for the incident, the second in a month. The airliner, an SAS DC-8 flying over Iraq from Tehran, Iran, to Beirut, Lebanon, was ordered by radio to land at Baghdad Airport Tuesday. There were 58 persons aboard. Iraqi officials held the plane for an hour and 15 minutes before permitting it to continue. Capt. Ake Lennart Berglund, pilot of the plane, said he saw no Iraqi fighter planes in the air when he received the radio order. An Alitalia DC-6 carrying 17 passengers was forced by Iraqi jets to land’ at Baghdad Airport May 6. That airliner was held for 27 hours before* it was allowed to proceed. — - Most passengers aboard the SAS airliner said they were not worried about the incident and it had caused them little inconvenience. Hie plane was two hours late into home, the next stop after Beirut. Berglund said he had radioed as usual to confirm permission to fly over Iraqi territory before he entered the country from Iran. “Baghdad airport confirmed by radio I could cross over Iraqi territory,” he said. “It was not until I was flying over Baghdad that they demanded I land. After we landed they gave no real explanation for the incident. “Howeygr. there seemed to be some doubt in their minds that we had the proper permission to cross Iraq.

Political Crisis Grows In Indonesia JAKARTA, Indonesia <UPD — The army moved into Indonesia’s growing political crisis today by suspending all political activities in an effort to keep the naton from plunging into chaos. Lt. Gen. Abdul Haris Nasution. army chief of staff, announced the ban on political activity Tuesday night following the failure of the constituent assembly to approve President Sukarno’s bid for . virtually dictatorial power. The ban went into effect today.

Major Harsono. an army spokesman, indicated that the military would stop short at this time, pf any actual takeover of the gov* ernfnent. “Until this moment the army has no desires to dissolve the constituent assembly.” he said. “The army will always stay within the bounds of legality and constitutionality. “There is absolutely no intention for the army ti stay in power forever. The army is not thirsting for power.” The army spokesman said Nasution’s order prohibiting political activities extended to members of Parliament outside the Parliament building. Harsono explained that the legislative immunity of members of Parliament would be respected only so long as their political comments were made inside the Parliament building. The order virtually gagged all the nation’s newspapers. Harsono told the local press that “All news which in your estimate and in our estimate could arouse sentiments and sharpen ideological party conflicts is prohibited.” Prime Minister DjuandA said the army action so far has been taken with the foreknowledge of the government and said the issue of Sukarno’s guided democracy has not come to the final stage yet. ■ He said a complete report will be given to Sukarno by Information Minister. Sudibyo, who has left to meet the' President when he reaches Tokyo. Sukarno • recently has been touring the United States and currently is in Los Angeles. A spokesman there indicated he was not too concerned with developments here and said he had no plans to return home prematurely.

GOOD DRIVERS "You’re going too fast if you pass many cars; you’re traveling too slow if many cars pass you.” This is the advice of the Indiana Office of Traffic Safety to motorists to adhere to all posted and other authorized speed limits. Best practice is to adjust speed to that of the existing flow of traffic when travel is heavy. “Speed Control” is the statewide theme for traffic safety in Indiana during the month of June.
