Religion in America

By LOUIS CASSELS It’s all right to criticize President Johnson, or even to get angry with him. But it’s wrong to hate him. That warning, addressed specifically to church leaders and intellectuals, comes from a liberal Protestant theologian. Dr. Roger L. Shinn, who has been an outspoken opponent of administration policy in Vietnam. Dr. Shinn, who teaches at

[Union Theological Seminary in New York, believes that John- j son has become the target of! the most virulent personal hostility directed at any U.S. I President since the days when 1 Franklin D. Roosevelt was “that man’’ to furious conservatives. Writing in “Christianity and Crisis," a journal small in circulation but large in influence. Dr. Shinn observes that animos- | ity toward Johnson makes strange political bedfellows.

“The haters form a curious combination,” he says. “They include white supremacists who resent a southerner’s efforts for civil rights, and black militants for whom Johnson represents the impervious establishment. They number rightists, new leftists and apolitical hippies — all of whom scorn the Great Society. They encompass hawks who want to ‘shorten’ the war by pulverizing North Vietnam, and doves who resent massive

destruction in an ill-defined cause.” Not by any stretch of the Imagination could Dr. Shinn be described as an admirer of Lyndon B. Johnson. He thinks | there is “real reason to criticize the President” for U.S. actions in Vietnam. And beyond all questions of policy, he says, “There are personal qualities that make Mr. Johnson easy to dislike and distrust.’’ Among them he lists “his love of the crafty maneuver, his petty vanity, his guile in dealing with the press and people.” “Cogent criticism is certainly In order. Even anger is under-

standable and justifiable,” says Dr. Shinn. “But hate is something different from criticism or anger. It bodes no good for | the haters or for the body j politic.” Dr. Shinn says that churchmen who are concerned about social justice should recognize the “self-defeating” results of an “irrational” hate-Johnson i posture. j If they will examine the do- ! mestic issues on which they feel most strongly — race. Social Security, model cities, schools, educational TV, rent subsidies, the war against poverty — they will discover that

“on every one of these Mr. Johnson is trying to persuade a reluctant Congress to do more than it wants to do.” “To encourage public contempt for the President is to strengthen those who oppose him on all these issues,” declares Dr. Shinn. “Most ominous of all, disdain for the man who is President easily becomes disdain for the presidency and for the federal government as such.”

1967 State Junior Leader Conference held last month

The Taj Mahal, at Agra, India, is considered to be the most perfect example of the Mogul style of achritecture.

June 20-23 were the dates of the Southwest Area Junior Leader Conference. The conference is held twelve miles southwest of Lafayette at the i State 4-H Center. Delegates are Junior Leaders, chosen by their respective counties. The conference is to teach the youth of Indiana, leadership along with other important qualities, by members of their

own age group. The teachers were delegates to the conference the year before and were chosen by the ’66 conference to some back the foliowring year. The council is composed of five girls and five boys. Eight are district councilmen and two atlarge council members. These ten Jr. Leaders plan and organize all year long then come (Continued on Page 8)
