Clergymen Ignore Politics Tradition

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International An old American tradition holds that clergymen should not meddle in polities. This time-honored precept was ignored during the 1960 presidential campaign by some Protestant jm-iitarwara who thought that election of a Roman Catholic would be a national disaster. There are indications that it will be even more widely defied in this year's campaign. Judging by the rash of statements which have already appeared, many clergymen feel an irresistible compulsion to take sides in the contest between Lyndon B. Johnson” and Barry- Goldwater. Johnson may attract more clerical comment now that he has been officially nominated. But most of the statements to date have come from religious leaders who feel strongly — pro or con —about Goldwater. Embezzlement Charged Ex-Union Secretary INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Malcolm Randolph, 28, Anderson, former secretary-treasurer of Ixxal 357 of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Employes Union, was arrested Wednesday on embezzlement ment charges. Randolph was indicted recently by a federal grand jury here on charges of taking $2,012 of union funds by cashing 42 checks on the union account in 1963.

er 4— I 'I BIBXJU For example, the Republican nominee has been praised by one Episcopal clergyman <his own bighop, the Rt. Rev. Joseph M. Harte of Phoenix, Anx.) for hit "profound faith in God. . .deep personal honesty and great integrity.” And he has been denounced by another (lhe Rev. Dr. John K. Krumm, chaplain of Columbia University) as "a candidate who is openly contemptuous of all the church has bepn saying and teaching" on social issues. Clergymen of ail denominations who waged an interfaith battle for passage of the civil rights bill are acutely conscious that Goldwater voted against it. Having taken the position that the struggle for racial justice is a moral issue, they find themselves wondering whether it is not also a moral imperative to support a presidential candidate who is in sympathy with the new taw. This viewpoint was reflected in a recent statements by the Rev. Dr. J. Robert Nelson, professor of theology at Oberlin College, Oberlin. Ohio. No. A Ruprrmseht Although the Republican nominee "is not a ranting white supremacist," Dr. Nelson said, "his equivocal, statements on the subject and his decision to vote no on the civil rights bill give us hardly any reason to expect that as president he would care to use the power of his office to secure the constitutional rights of all Americans." The Arizona senator's views on foreign policy also are profoundly dis'unbtag to many clergymen who believe that maintaining the precarious balance of world peace is a delicate and difficult task and one in which the church has an urgent interest. “Sen. Goldwater’s oft-ex-pressed views are diametrically opposed to everything for which America’s three faiths have .stood in respect to international relations," says the Rev. Dr; John C. Bonnett, president of Union Theological Seminary. New York. ' On the other hand, Goldwater can count on substantial sui> IXjrt fronapconservative Protestants and 'Catholics who favor a hard line in dealing with ComnttufUto.

Half Billion Spent On CooKOuts In U.S. By DICK WEST United Press Internatianal WASHINGTON (UPD—I read the other day that America’s backyard barbecuers have spent about $500,000,000 this summer on cook-outs which certainly isn’t surprising. I must have spent close to myself Once you get hooked on barbecue sauce? there is- no limit to what you will do to gratify this craving. Cook-outs have become one of the leading causes of divorce and broken homes. And yet the problem is little understood and seldom even discussed. Most compulsive cooker-outers begin gs social barbecuers. You invite a few friends in for spare ribs. Or lhe_ neighbors come over for hamburgers. It all seems harmless enough. The trouble is that many men cannot take cooking-out or leave it alone. There comes a time when one or two cook-outs a week aren't enough. You come home in the evening and say, “Let's have a cook-out.” Your wife says, "I’ve already jfot a roast in the oven." You say, "it will keep until tomorrow, won't it? I wonted to try barbecuing a wild boar tonight ” The first thing you know, this is haii perring six or seven nights a week. It you are not cooking out, you feel moody and dejwessed. But you don! I really know what's causing it. Your wife usually will be tolerant up to the point of having 14 cold roasts in the refrigerator. Then she starts putting her foot down. Finally there is a big scene. The children are torn between you. Half of them are in the house with her having roast for dinner. The other half are out on the patio with you having barbecued ram's head. Among the tell-tale signs of cook-out addiction are: (1> cooking-out alone; <2» starting fires in the grill before breakfast, and <3) cooking-out in the rain. In the advance* stages, you start bringing home new equipment. One night it's an electric charcoal starter. Another night it's a set of ivory-handled tongs. The bills ate piling up. your*-' family is in rags, and you come home with a $5,000 outdoor rotisserie. It was my father who made' me realize I had to stop. MV - , father lives in a small town in

"Y‘oU paid 79 cents for a fetf' chips of wood!” my father exclaimed. I nodded, shame-faced. "How many times have you bought the Washington Monument?” he asked.

Esther Peterson Aids Consumers

j EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the last in a series of three _ dispatches on women in gov- ] eminent. t . ‘ By HELEN THOMAS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD—“What have you done for the consumer lately?” That is President Johnson’s standard greeting to Esther Peterson, his special assistant on consumer affairs. e Mrs. Peterson is trying to do a lot for the. consumer — which represents just about everybody —by spotlighting obvious abuses and by urging Congress to sharpen up laws affecting safe.ty labeling and packing of ' ’products. w.i' Most of her help from irate customers. The happy . ones don’t write tetters. But she welcomes the consumer gripes because they educate her. Her assistant Bel Rubinstein says all of the tetters are answered and Mrs. Peterson has read “a fantastic number.” Some are passed on to other agencies which have the power to do something like the Federal Trade Commission or the Food and Drug Administration. Receives Clearer Picture In her thank you replies, Mrs. Peterson says: “Your letter and many others I’ve received give me a clearer picture of matters which need to be explored and abuses which must be eliminated. I hope something can be done to improve the situation.” A West Allis, Wis. worpan wrote: “I wish you all the luck in the world in your job of getting a fair shake for the housewife." She complained about the amount of fish skin and bones in an 89 cent can of salfnon. - The tetters run the gamut. - Some are very articulate; others are ungrammatical, but they get their point across. A share-cropper took offense at finding a piece of wood in his chewing tobacco and he sent it along to show her. A number of housewives are upset by the “deceptive” prepackaging of meat. They think ANIMAL ANTIQUE — Australia’s platypus, a living fossil, has a bill and webbed feet and lays eggs like a . duck. Yet, it is a mammal. . It is rarely seen in its natural state during daylight, but can be seen to good advantage ip a glass-walled tank at Healesville Sanctuary, near Melbourne.

they are buying five chops and when they get home they found only four.

Men Complain Too It’s not just the homemakers who have a bone to pick with poor products. Men write a lot about the “lemonfe" they bought for cars and the “extras” they got “gypped on.” “Who took the clams out of clam showder, I would like to know,” said a housewife. Another noted an ad for a vitality tablet in which “all the ingredients are produced by nature.” She wrote "so is the poppy but I’m not eating it.” The high cost of dying also is a big subject in Mrs. Peterson’s mail bag. An editorial sent to her'’describing the woes of the typical consumer said: “It «qsts as much to bury me as it Would cost to send a boy or igfrl to college for a year.” Mrs. Peterson believes some manufacturers have begun to shape up under the tougher scutiny at government protected consumers. One homemaker said “already I have noticed in the field of food that cereal and other dry goods boxes come practically full, instead of about two-thirds full.” While her office is not set up as a complaint department, Mrs. Peterson feels that the protests are her best clue to what’s happening to the consumer.
