Parochial School Aid Cranston, R. 1., put into operation Monday a law for textbook aid to private and parochial school pupils, a law that may well provide the first teat case on the constitutionality of aid to parochial schools. Whe law provides that cities'and towns of Rhode Island shall, on request, lend these pupils free textbooks included on a list of approved by the state department of education. It also provides that the state will reimburse the municipalities for 25-50% of the cost, depending on their regular ratio of state aid to education. The law was passed last February 26 .by. the state legislature. While it is a state law, if it is Constitutional under our Constitution, then so would a similar Federal law be constitutional. After three months of study, the state department of education in Rhode Island released a 43-page list of some 650 approved textbooks in science, mathmatica, and foreign languages. This list must be reviewed annually. Notice that the law specifies that the books go to the children, not the school. Notice, too, that the books are non-parochial in nature. This was done to avoid any possibility of unconstitutionality. Constitutionality would be questioned on grounds of violation of the first amendment to the constitution, separation of church and state. The civil liberties union of Rhode Island has already voted to support any taxpayer suit to test the law. Their feeling, as well as the feeling of many Protestants, is that the law is still unconstitutional, because it would, in effect, support the church-supported schools, since previously the schools, or their patrons, would havd had to bear the expense. This is going to be a ticklish question for the supreme court, and will eventually get into the problem of the relationship between a church, its school, and its patrons. Protestants, quite naturally, object to the use of government funds to strengthen any sort of parochial system, since this would tend to strengthen the Catholic school system, which is far larger and more complete than any of the Protestant parochial systgms. Protestants feel that Federal, state, or city funds should not be used in any way which would strengthen prochial or private schools. They are, quite literally,, backed up by the constitution of the state of Indiana, which makes education a state responsibility. Qur consitution does not prohibit churches from educating their own children, but it certainly does not encourage it. Catholics, on the other hanfl, feel that if the state is responsible for education, then their schools should receive state aid, or Federal aid, or city aid. They point out that their schools take burden off the other taxpayers, that they pay taxes plus the cost of a private system, with no real value received from their tax dollars for public schools. All of our children deserve a consistently good education, based on national, not local or parochial, standards. They deserve this regardless of their religious beliefs. How to achieve this, without in effect subsidizing religion, is going to prese n t a major problem to the United States of America. \

No Acknowledged Leaders Os Negroes

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International It is the misfortune of Negroes that in this moment of greatest need for self discipline that they have no acknowledged leader. Thousands of Negroes are enrolled as privates in the mass armies involved in demonstrations, sit-ins and, occasionally, street violence. The number of brigade commanders accredited to and variously directing these maneuvers is beyond number. What the Negroes lack is a five-star generalissimo. The Negroes need a leader who can arouse their armies or send the armies home and off the streets and away froth the jails. Most especially, the Negroes now - urgently need leadership which can persuade them against mass demonstrations ih the capital of the United States while Congress is debating the Kennedy civil rights bill. One of the Negro brigade commanders is the Rev. George Lawrence of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Some days ago the Rev. Lawrence promised that Washington, D.C., would be the focus of a massive, militant and monumental sit-in this summer unless Congress acted fast to assure full equal rights for the Negro now. More Racial Bitterness He said any Southern filibuster against civil rights legislation would touch off massive acts of civil disobedience all over the United States. What the Rev. Lawrence will touch off if he carries out his program is pretty sure to be mpre racial -bitterness, more violence and much less sympathy among Americans for the o q | Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee ] 0 0 Q. I’ve been invited to a large golden wedding anniversary reception which will be held in a private hotel dining room. Should I take a gift of some kind to the reception? A. You are not obligated to give a gift at all. However, if you wish to do so, it is much better to send the gift ahead of time to the home of the honored couple. Q. How would you define a bore? A. One who likes to talk about himself when you want to talk about you. Nutt said! REMINDER: When a conversation is boring, it’s usually pretty certain that you’ve played a part in making it that way. Q. Is the recipient of a birth announcement always expected to respond with a gift of some kind? A. Definitely got — although it IS a nice response. It’s up to how you feel about it. Q. Just what is the proper technique of “operating” on a fish at the dinner table for the removal of its bones? A. Lift the end of the bone with the fork, and then pinching it between the fork and kpift, lift it all the way out. In some cases, you may have to use the fingers, and this is quite all right if you can avoid handling the fish itself with your fingers. Q. What tips are expected of today’s airplane traveler? A. None of any kind. This includes all those wearing the airline unifrom, such as stewards, pilots, reservation clerks, or drivers of the airport limousines. “HAPPY NAPPY?”

pending civil rights legislation. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference is one of many more or less militant Negro organizations, any one 'of which probably could match the Rev. Lawrence in mass demonstrations. There appears to be no Negro or group of Negrees, however, competent to control the civil rights demonstrators by directing their activities into channels more likely to help than to harm their cause. The leadership situation, in fact, is worse than that. It is not merely that there is no acknowledged Negro leadership, but that the various brigade commanders are competing with each other for prestige and privileges and, perhaps, for money. Roy Wilkins is executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. NAACP long was the muscle and brains of the Negro effort for civil rights. In a speech last week in Alexandria, Va., Wilkins complained that other Negro organizations provided the noise and got the publicity while NAACP provided the manpower and paid the bills. Considerable Money Available Wilkins named some Negro mass demonstration outfits and said “Don’t go giving them your money when it should be given to us.” There is considerable money available, too. A Negro educator fropi Jackson, Miss., spoke in Washington, last week. It was estimated that the audience of 600 persons contributed $2,000 when the hat was passed. , A lot of money. There is evidence that some Negro leaders now feel compelled to participate in or to inspire mass violence to compete with others who promote street disorders. The idea seems to bet hat the street riot leader will get more followers than the pacifist. How much violence will there be and what will it do to the cause of civil : rights are two unanswered questions. James M. Nabrit Jr. is president of. Howard University, Washington, D. C. the San Juan, Puerto Rico, Star quoted him a fortnight ago as predicting violence, including the wholesale killing ,of poeple in the United States, unless Congress acted immediately on civil rights.
