Religious Bigotry Rural mail boxholders in Adams County were barraged yesterday with a four-page anti-Catholic newspaper called “Church-State News,’’ which is published by a group called “Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State.” We have no argument with the theory and practice of the separation of powers. Neither do 95% of other Americans, regardless of their faith. The title of the organization seems to be quite ~— misleading, however. It has very little to do with the separation of church and slate, with which all of us agree. It, instead, spreads pure, unadulterated religious bigotry and hatred. The two' are not the same, nor even remotely related. Many nations have the Lutheran church ■as the state church. Great Britain has the Episcopal church. Middle Eastern countries are Mohammedan. Far Eastern are often Buddhist, and Japan has as its unofficial, formerly official, religion Shinto, backed up with Zen Buddhism. Israel has the Jewish religion. Greece is orthodox. Hie Presbyterian church is the state church of Scotland. The Reformed church is a state church in parts of Germany and Europe. Hie Dutch Reformed church is also a state, or semi-state, church. Os course many countries have state religions. But they have thein because the overwhelming majority favor them. And for no other reason. A very large, 2-column picture on the front page of the magazine shows Republican secretary of labor James P. Mitchell kneeling to kiss the ring of Bishop John J. Wright. While this type of greeting seems strange to those who do not practice it, it carries no more mystical significance than the brotherly shaking of hands after church, or the kiss on each cheek by the French military, the bowing of Japanese to each other as a greeting. Each of us has a right to our own beliefs. We have a right, duty, and privilege of explaining these beliefs to others, if they so desire. But the privilege is grossly abused if we use it to spread misleading half-truths about others. Members of all religious faiths have every right to be proud of the accomplishments of their qwn groups. They have no need to disparge or belittle others, v One article points out that all the candidates of both \ parties for city offices in a large eastern city which is j 63% Catholic are of that faith. But how many cities, 1 towns, counties, townships and other political groups t could be named in he ÜB. which have governing bodies -composed completely of members of the leading Protest§nt faiths? After ail, it is only natural that people frould nominate and vote for people with whom jjiave closely worked in school, church, and civic groups. Let's remember that there are so many good ■;.... * positive things about every religion, and fully as many bad oiies in every group, that we can better serve God in our own way by pointing to the positive and good side of our respective churches, and improving our own churches, allowing others to do the same.

Hartke Absent On First Day Os Convention LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The absence of Sen. Vance Hartke of Evansville from the early proceedings of the Democratic national convention was discussed freely by Indiana delegates today. Hartke is an Bth District delegate. His critics maintained that he “went underground” to forestall taking a stand in the presidential contest! Hartke is deeply obligated to Sen .Lyndon ,B. Johnson}. ,Texas,, who gave him choice committee assignments, although the Indiana senator is only a freshman in Congress. With the bandwagon of Sen. John F. Kennedy rolling toward victory, Hartke would have been embarrassed in any maneuvering in behalf of Johnson. — On the other hand, many of Hartke’s supporters are enthusiastic backers of Kennedy and some degree of pulling and hauling might have resulted. Indiana’s 34 votes are committed to Kennedy on the first ballot only by virtue of his triumph in the Hoosier presidential primary. — Now that there are indications of an early sweep by Kennedy, Hartke’s dilemma m«y be solved. \ Kennedy Sure Thing State Sen. Marshall Kizer, Plymouth, Kennedy’s Indiana comanager, said he is sure that his candidate will prevail on the initial ballot. “The race for president is over,” Kizer said. “The big question now is who will win the vice presidential bid.” There are numerous Indiana delegates who are championing Sen. Stuart Symington, Missouri. Tor that honor- because be—is a midwesterner and has made many in Hoosierdom during oratorical appearances at two of the recent major Democratic events in the state—the meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association in French Lick and the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Indianapolis. His news conferences were well handled at these affairs and he mixed well with the Hoosiers. Two prominent, Indiana men have led the presidential bid of Symington, which appears never to have gotten off ,the ground. They are former national chairman Frank E. McKinney, Indianapolis, and Frank M. McHale, Indianapolis and Logansport, erstwhile national committeeman. Symington For VP McKinney and McHale are reluctant to give up the presidential ghost of Symington. But they are practical politicians and today showed some signs of maneuvering to land the post of Kennedy’s running mate for the Missourian. They agreed that Kennedy himself will have the ultimate decision. Some action boosting Symington may be taken at the breakfast of the Indiana delegates at their headquarters hotel Wednesday. Protests over the distribution of gallery seat tickets stirred the Hoosier delegation. With several thousand unoccupied seats, 33 alternate delegates from Indiana walked out of the convention Monday night in protest against their seatirig assignments right below the ceiling and next to the big convention clock. Word of the rebellion was sent to the convention floor to Alex Campbell, Fort Wayne, Indiana national committeeman-elect. His wife, Ruby, who was seated next to the alternates, sent Campbell a note which said “all of the alternates are going back to their hotels. They're up against the clock and everybody is very angry." The Indiana delegates and representatives of other states were complaining throughout the day over their seating assignments and blaming it on national chairman Paul M. Butler. < • ' • Their ire was augmented when they looked around them and saw many much more choice seats unoccupied.

Cold War Front Is Now Close To U.S.

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreirn Editor Nikita Khrushchev officially has advanced his cold war front to within less than 100 miles of the United States. j When he spread communism's protective blanket over Cuba, it was formal proclamation of Soviet intent to move massively on Latin America, with Ciiba as both base and < showcase. If such were needed, Khrushchev also supplied final evidence that world communism now considers Cuba securely in the Communist camp.. “The Socialist 'Communist) countries will help their brothers, the Cubans,” Khrushchev said. Khrushchev's declaration followed only by hours a painful memorandum - pennecT by . former Cuban premier and ambassador* designate to the United States Jose Miro Cardona who last week broke with the Castro government. Miro Cardona said he realized he had been betrayed when Cuban President Osvaldo Dorticos told him: “If Cuba wishes, we shall say that we are Communists. So what?” Thus a new Communist-domi-nated state is formed on America’s very doorstep, astride vital U.S. defense lines for the Caribbean and the Panama Canal, at the least an invaluable Soviet base for espionage and infiltration, at the worst a base for aggressive Soviet action against the United States. Said Khrushchev further: . “Soviet artillerymen, should the need arise, can with their rocket fire-power support the Cuban people if the aggressive forces of the Pentagon dare to begin an intervention against Cuba. . . .That is, if you like, a warning to those who would like to settle international issues by force and not reason.” Rocket-rattling Jias become a recognized part of Khrushchev’s cold-war propaganda technique. There seems little reason to believe now that the Soviet Union would launch World War 111 over Cuba. Rather, that portion of Krushchev’s pronouncement seemed calculated to encourage Castro into further reckless actions against the United States and U.S. property remaining in Cuba.

Douglas Assails Waste By Military ' WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Paul H. Douglas, dismissing a Pentagon denial as “grossly inadequate,” today renewed his change that the armed forces are paying billions of dollars too much for the items they buy. The Illinois Democrat blamed the alleged waste on the “terrible evil” of negotiated contracts. He said only 13 of every' 100 military contracts were open for competitive biddings . ** ,» Hie Defense Department Monday issued a voluminous reply to Douglas’ waste charges first made in a Senate speech June 13. Hie department said it could find “no evidence” to support the charges. Douglas immediately called a news conference to repeat his CofripWunts. l He 4 said the Pentagon < explanation “is either absurd or raises even more serious charges.”. Hie senator said half the military contracts specify that, the government will pay suppliers for their costs phis a fee for doing the work. “That’s an incentive not to save money,” Douglas declared. In his senate speech, Douglas displayed 10 items ranging from lamp sockets to small wrenches and said the armed services paid from six to 100 times their actual value. For instance, he said the Navy paid 821.10 each for lamp sodkets whioh sold for 25 cents in hardware stores. The Defense Department replied that many of the items Douglas cited were experimental or made to special m i 1 ita r f standards whioh could not foe found in stores. Alert U.S. Troops For Flight To Congo WASHINGTON (UPI) — Two companies of the U.S. 24th Division in Germany are on standby orders today ready to be flown to the riot-torn Congo if needed to help evacuate threatened civilians* A number of huge.hrgh-speed 1-130 turbo-prop Air Force transport planes were ready to fly the troops from Furstenfeldbruck Air Base near Munich. But it appeared unlikely the soldiers would be rushed to the bloody African trouble spot since the State Department said most Americans had been ' evacuated from danger. ,}t also appeared that the United States would not intervene in the Congo strife until the United Nations had considered the situation. As far as the State Department was aware, no U.S. citizens have been hurt in the Congo so far. About 2,000 Americans were in the Congo before the violence broke out.

Democrat Keynoter Outstanding Orator

SPOPTS ARENA, Los Angeles 1UPI) — Throughout the land Monday night, and perhaps at remote bases overseas, Republican ears must have been burning. At intervals for nearly two hours someone was talking about them in this great hall dedicated to great sports. Some of the things said were uncomplimentary. Gov. Edmund G. (iPat) Brown of California, for example, charged the Republicans with “moral corrosion.” Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler said they were abetting Russia’s effort to make us “second best in everything.” . Not all the things said were bad, However, Butler'by inference admitted Republicans to the human race. Noting that all the public proceedings of this year’s Democratic National Convention are being televised, Butler said “the whole world is present' in this hall.” No Dying Art It may be a small world, but it’s big enough to accommodate a number of Republicans, manv of whom are reported to own TV sets. If they had their sets on, for whatever masochistic pleasure it may have given them, they know that oratory is by no means a dying art. It may be moribund, as critics have said for half a century, but as long as Frank Forrester Church of Idaho shall wave, oratory will live. Church, who will be 36 come July 25, is the youngest member of the U.S. Senate. The Democrats pidked him as their keynote speaker for this year’s convention. They, were well advised to do so. When he was in high school, Frank Church won a national oratorical contest staged by the American Legion. Those who i heard him Monday night are convinced he could do it again. Butler introduced him as “the official voice of the Democratic I Party.” Church didn't content himself with giving his fine, farcarrying baritone voice to the party. He threw in a dazzling assortment dl gestures, —postures, even-teethed smiles, and glances to left and right and up and down. Matches Voice, Actions Seldom has a political convention seen such perfect matching of voice and action. When he spoke of the spiraling inflation the Republicans have inflicted on us, Church made a spiraling motion with his right arm. When he spoke of freedom he gestured to the right. When he spoke of Communism he gestured to the left. From time to time he jabbed the air with a forefinger. Now and then he beat fist upon fist. When he said we must drive ahead, he made a pushing movement with both hands. Church was applauded or

Cheered about 34 times in his 45minute speech. He was for the most part grave and earnest. But now and then he favored his audi ence with an appealing boyish smile. He had memorized hds speech and made little if any use of the mechanical prompter designed to keep political speakers on beam. the Democrats applauded and cheered him for six minutes. Return From Trip Via Panama Canal Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Suttles, Jr., returned late Monday from a 23-day trip by ship from New s York City through the Panama canal and up the west coast to Los Angeels, where they attended the first day of the Democratic national convention. Describing the various 'hotel headquarters of the aspiring candidates as “disorganized bedlam,” Suttles said that he was fortunate in getting to attend a press conference for Sen. Stuart Symington. Later, they met Mrs. Symington. Hope was still high that Kennedy could be stopped, Suttles reported. All of the hotels were filled to capacity, and hundreds of people milled from room to room. The Suttles also spent four days with their daughter in San Diego, Calif., before returning home.
