Lyndon Baines Johnson The Democratic ticket was admirably balanced by the nomination by acclamation of that great Democratic legislator and Senate leader, Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson, 52 years old, born on a dusty farm in Southwest Texas irt an old home no larger than a shack, was the son of a school teacher, farmer, and state legislator. His mother was descended from pioneer Texas educators and ministers. •“-■'•• Johnson grew up shining shoes on Saturday, herding goats, working on a weekly newspaper, and as a manual laborer on highway construction jobs. After graduation from high school he went to California, and did a variety of manual jobs there. This fired him with a determination for more formal education, and he was graduated from Southwest Texas. State Teachers college in less than four years. He taught public speaking and debating for several — years. He served as National Youth Administrator for Texas, and brought the advantages of this organization to Negroes for the first time in the history of the South. At the age of 29. he won nomination over 10 others to the U.S. house of representatives, and was sent to Congress, where he has served in both houses for 23 years. *«U He was the first Congressman to volunteer for service during World War IL just hours after Pearl * Harbor. He won the Silver Star for gallantry in action under McArthur in the Pacific. In he spearheaded the drive for a civil rights • bill, the first to be passed by Congress since 1875. He was also a leader in securing the civil rights act of 1960, which establishes a new registration procedure to give Negroes the right to vote. He backed the National Defense Education Act of 1958, which loans funds for college students; he has worked for social security benefits for workers, adequate public health department funds, retirement at 62 for women, matching funds for assistance to the needy, aged, blind, disabled, and dependent children. This then, is Lyndon B. Johnson, Democratic choice for vice-president of the United States.

Now I would like to add my two cents worth to what you have already said in your editorial. I was one ot those who received this hate sheet and I think I should have my mail box disinfected for my dictionary says this will remove dangerous germs. This sheet was full of dangerous germs. The name of this rag was “Church & State News" and was supposed to be backed by Protestants and other Americans for separation of church and state. I am one protestant who resents the use of the word protestant to add dignity to this piece of trash. Oh. to be sure, it listed its officers, and I believeif the truth is known they never voted for a Democrat in their lives. It seems odd that this rag was born at just this opportune time when it seems very possible that the Democrats would nominate a Catholic for President, and I submit that this rag was politically inspired. I would hasten to add that I have a lot of good Republican friends and I believe they resent this type of filth too. My Bible teaches me that “By their works Ye shall know them” which speaks for itself. J. I believe the publishers of this rag hit the nail on the head when they mentioned the separation of church and state. As I see it, we people who claim the name of Jesus Christ have separated ourselves from the affairs of state, which is the reason for the condition of our country and world. When we put the teachings of Christ to practice in our politics we will not have to fear anything or anybody. We whoclaim to be Christians tend to limit God and his power. I believe that if we Christians would unite under the banner of “Christ Unlimited” he would take care of our politics for us. In our witness for Christ we shrink to little undernourished mice, but our witness for hatred and bigotry makes us stand out as big overgrown lions. I think if we would only reverse this process. our great nation could truly be called a Christian nation. At this writing the Democratic nominee has not been selected, and my prayer is that one of the dark horses will gain the nomination, not because Kennedy is a Catholic, but because these people who are using religion as a qualification will not have this piece of bigotry on their concience. The eyes of the world are upon us, but most important, the eyes of God are upon us and our motives. So far as I know, Kennedy is a Christian (Yes, in spite of what

some people seem to think, they are Catholics who are Christians). Now let’s look at Dick Nixon’s record. It is a well-known feet that On his climb up the political ladder he has stepped in the feces of many of his best friends. Is that the Christian way? Nixon has also been a very good student of Joe McCarthy. He has used the guilt by association technique with varied success in his character assassination of many a good public servant. If the Republican party wants to really give the people of bur great nation a chance to vote with a clear conscience let them nominate Rockefeller. If it is a choice between Kennedy and Nixon I will do everything in my power to elect John Kennedy. Now I truly believe that it would be a great service to our nation and most important to our God to disassociate ourselves as Protestants from this type of spreading hate. I do not believe as the Catholics do, but I stand with that great American statesman who. when one of his opponents disagreed with him, said “I do not gree with what he says, but I will defend with my life his right to say it.” Yours for and end to all types of blogofcy, T Late Grimm « % Bicycle Reported Stolen Thursday A red and white Western Flyer bicycle was reported stolen to the city police by the owner, Clyde Gerber.

Modern Etiquette I ♦ By ROBERTA LEK I 0——....... — ' —o Q. Would it be proper for me to give a birthday party for myself? A. If you were to do this, you would be giving the impression that you were soliciting gifts. If you really want to give a party, do it without announcing beforehand that it is your birthday—then at the party you can announce the significance of the date. Q. I’d like to mail a check to my niece, who will be married soon. Should I make this “gift” check out to her in her maiden name or in her future name? A. It would probably be better to make the check out to the girl in her maiden name, so that she may-cash it before the wedding. Q. Is it all right to place a man next to his fiancee when seating her dinner guests? A. This is all right, if you wish to do so. A man and his fiancee, however, are usually separated.

Urge Ignoring Os Religious Issue

United Press International A sampling of the nation’s clergymen was nearly unanimous today in’ appealing for a presidential cadtoaign free of references to Sen. John F. Kennedy’s Roman Catholic religion. Religious leaders of all denominations contacted by United Press International asked that the Democratic presidential nominee be considered solely on his merits, not on his religion. The strongest dissent came from the Rev: Dr. W. A. Criswell. pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Tex., who. said Kennedy’s election would "spell the death of a free church in a free state . . .and our hopes of continuance of full religious liberty in America.” The Rev. Dr. Criswell is pastor of the nation's largest all white Baptist congregation. He said his 12,000 members included evangelist Billy Graham. Not Decisive Role Kennedy is the second Roman Catholic to run for the presidency of the United States. The first was Al Smith, who was defeated in the 1928 election by Republican Herbert Hoover. The religious issue in the Hoo-ver-Smith campaign was so bitter that it led to the founding of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Many yhurch leaders today felt that the religious issue would arise but that it would not play a decisive role. Others discounted it entirely. Methodist, Bishop Lloyd C. Wicke of Pittsburgh said Kennedy’s nomination was the “will of the party” but that there would be “some religious prejudice in the fall campaign.’ 1 Dr. O.H. Hovey of Minneapolis, general secretary of the three-mil-lion-anember American Lutheran Church, said the ’’American ideal”, should preclude the religious issue. No Vatican Pressure However, he said many Protestants would feel easier about voting for a Catholic if the Vatican would issue a statement on its relation to public officials who

are-Catholics. Vatican sources said the fact that K en n ed y was nominated proVes that Catholicism is not a factor in the campaign, and is “a good sign foe the future” of the United States. ' Msgr. John M. Kelly, editor of the Catholic publication New World, said in Chicago, “It is a certainty that if a Catholic is elected, he win not be submitted to any pressure from the Catholic hierarchy or the Catholic people as a group, and least o< all from the Vatican.” Rabbi Albert Minda of Minneapolis, vice president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, said tiie candidates should be judged on merit. “I imagine that in some sections of the population the religious elements will play a role, but on the whole I think the nomination has shown that the religious dement did not play a major role,” he said. Other church leaders said the religious issue would not enter the dampaign at al. Sunday Accident Takes Second Life WINAMAC, Ind.
