At Independence Hall in Phila
delphia, where our Declaration of
Independence was adopted and
signed 186 years ago, President
Kennedy made a great speech
Wednesday in which he called for
an INTER-national Declaration ol
INTER-dependence with a united
Europe.
He told his hearers:
"For 1811 years this doctrine of
NATIONAL independence has sha
ken the globe and it remains the
most powerful force anywhere in
the world today. , .If there is a sin
gle issue that DIVIDES the world
today, it is INDEPENDENCE -independence
of Berlin, of Laos,
of Viet Nam. . .the longing for in
dependence behind the Iron Cur
tain. , .the peaceful transition to
independence in those newly emer
ging areas whose troubles some
people hope to exploit.
Africa, for example where ev
erybody wants to be independent
and able to thumb his nose at ev
erybody else.
Which is to say:
Independence is a great thing
But
In this modern world
If we're to have INDEPEND
ENCE of thought and action among
individuals who have a common
concept of liberty, we must
first have INTERDEPENDENCE
among nations and peoples whose
ideals are similar.
In union, President Kennedy was
suggesting there is STRENGTH
but in LACK of union there is
weakness. He was further suggest
ing that unless nations with like
ideals can learn to work together
there can be no such thing as in
dividual liberty.
In Ilia call for an international
declaration of interdependence,
JFK was speaking directly to the
nations included in Western Eur
opes much - talked of Common
Market. The Common Market is an
example of independence. These
nations want to stand on their own
feet. They want to be able to re
sist aggressions.
But the Common Market is also
an example of INTER-depcndcnce.
Belgium, for example, can't be in
dependent all by itself. It is IN-TER-dependent
with the other na
tions of the Common Market.
President Kennedy was saying to
the nations of Western Europe that
if THEY want to remain independ
ent and if WE want to remain In
dependent we must recosnize that
our interests are INTER-dopcnd-cnt.
He hit upon a good Idea.

DIFFERING
By Charles V. Stanton
Widespread argument has resulted from the decision
by the U. S. Supreme Court forbidding a formalized pray
er in schools in the state of New York. Some people con
tend the court's decision is correct. Others believe the
court is "off base."
I am one of the latter. ,
In that regard I find it interesting to observe that, lor
once, Frank Jenkins and I disagree. Frank also writes a
daily editorial for this paper. Most of the time we find our
selves in complete accord. Thus it is refreshing to disagree
with him for a change.
Frank contends that religion belongs in the home,
should be taught by the parents, has no business in the
schools and, a state prayer violates the principal of free
dom of religion.
That's an opinion given widespread approval by many
observers. The President expressed much the same idea.
Let prayers be said in the home, he observed.
Then other critics hold that those who disagree with
the court are permitting emotions to influence their think
ing. Perhaps that is correct. I admit to being emotional
on the subject. At the same time, however, I believe the
court's decision is a violation of states' rights, is contrary
to the intent of the framers of the Constitution, is in con
flict with an expressed national, belief . ...
Belief Assumed
That a child be given moral and spiritual education in
the home is highly desirable. But modern homes where
spiritual training is given are all too few.
Such home training once

spiritual and ethical training.
reason for mounting mvenile delinquency and loss of re
spect for property rights.
Aside from that, however, it is my opinion the Found
ing Fathers took it for granted that worship would be a
part of our daily lives, publicly and privately. That s why,
I believe, they specified that "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof "
The intent of that clause,
preserve the right of worship,
parently hold is the case.
Let's look at history!
When our colonies were formed we had any number
of religions represented. Some of our colonies, in fact.
were formed by people who
lish their individual forms of worship. They came to the
New World with all its hardships to get away from the
state religion. We had Pilgrims, Puritans, Catholics, Bap
tists, Dunkers, Separationists, Huguenots, Lutherans, Men
nonites, Shakers, Jews, and others.
Massachusetts, Connecticut. New Hnmushire had the
Congregational Church as a
I'.ngland and Dutch Reformed
York. The Quakers and Presbyterians competed in Pen
nsylvania, Catholics were entrenched in Maryland. Most
or our Southern states had the
religion.
Nation Threatened
After the Revolutionary War came the job of writing a
constitution for a new nation. But the original draft im
mediately ran into trouble.
Argument over the matter
ter, ir. seemed Tor a time that no new nation could be cre
ated. It was feared that each of the states would remain
sovereign, as was the case before the war.
Then someone came up with the idea of religious free
dom, it. was agreed religious
teed by the federal Constitution. Congress was specifically
uiuieu oy me tirsi amendment from establishing a state
religion. Hut you will note that this amendment applied
directly to Congress. There is nnthinir in flip Puns! ihil inn
to slop individual states, if they so desire, from decree
ing state religions, in my opinion. Nor is there anything
iiiiu won iu prevent a slate, as was the case in New York,
from writing a prayer suitable for general use.
Recent decisions by our Supreme Court have invaded
tne rights ol states, I believe. States were ordered bv the
Constitution to organize and conduct public schools. ' But
the Supreme Court has exercised diiwtinn mw thiwn
schools. It has invaded the rights of states to control wa
ter within their own boundaries, as is the case in Oregon.
They have usurped the rights of states to determine eligibil
ity of voters or to apportion their own legislatures.
It is my opinion that this latest decision is another in
vasion of slates rights; that it is in direct opposition to the
intent of the framers of the Constitution: that it violates
the declared trust of this people in Almighty God.

WASHINGTON (NE A) - Com
munist functionaries in the United
States operate as openly as though
their organization was an Ameri
can political opposition, thumbing
its nose at government.
In spite of all the laws passed
by Congress, Supreme Court de
cisions, enforcement actions by the
attorney general and the Subver

Commies are free to come and go
as they please, meet where they
please, say and do what they
please.
Gus Hall, general secretary of
the Communist party of the United
States, boasted the other day that
he had talked to 50,000 American
college students in the last six
months. Subject of his talk has
been repeal of the McCarran Act,
officially titled The Subversive Ac
tivities Control Act of 1950.
This is not to be confused with
the McCarran-Wallcr Immigration
Act. The Commies are against that
too, because it provides for ex
clusion and deportation of all Com
munist aliens. But the more im
mediate target of the Reds in this
country is the McCarran Act of
1950, which is supposed to require
the Communist party and its mem
bers to register.
Hall's pilch lo curious college
student political clubs is to liken
Communists to Benjamin Franklin,
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln, champions of civil liber
ties. Then he makes his attack on
the McCarran Act and circulates
petitions for its repeal because, he
alleges, it suppresses civil liber
ties. Department of Justice and pri
vate patriotic organizations try to
schedule speakers to every cam
pus after Communist speakers to
undo whatever damage they do,
but don't get all.
The Supreme Court in June 1!XH
handed down its decision upholding
constitutionality of the McCarran
Act and ordered the party to reg

Court Ruling Doesn't
Impair Free Religion
To The Editor:
The News-Review has eluded and
lectured we voters for years for
letting our emotions rather than
sober thinking dictate our actions
at the polls. And very well and
good, I say, too.
Now I wonder if your editorial
on the Supreme Court decision re
garding slate composed prayers in
class rooms, and your personal
feeling of prayer are not strictly
97Vi per cent emotions speaking.
A man's personal feeling about
prayer and religion, of course, are
just that personal. One might
differ, argue, question for ever
more, but that's not the issue
here. The issue concerns the legal
ity of a body of government coin
posing a religious theme for the
purpose of expression to all peo
ple. Carefully laying aside the pre
cept of compulsion, it cannot whol
ly be voluntary. If the state is
strictly neutral in affairs of its
people's religious belief, which is
an indisputable fact of our Con
stitution. and quarrelled with by
no appreciable minority, then there
naturally follows that such a state
would have no ambition, desire or
intent to formulate strictly a religi
ous tenet, with the suggestion
(probably a big one) that it be
read daily to the hordes of small,
immature minds temporarily in
its captivity.
It is carefully labeled voluntary
(our constitutional right, you see),
but the pressure to conform and
recite this state recommended
prayer daily would be terrific.
Thus, the slate has begun its own
religious belief on a young, im
pressionable mind.
And this is simply and only what
the Supreme Court has said. There
is no stoppage of religious helief,
no curtailment, no hindrance.
In this country, if you want to
pray, you can do it all day all
night, loo. if you wish. And you
can kneel; facing Mecca, three
times a day, or worship a cow,
or make daily devotions to a pray
er wheel. That is religious free
dom, and you still have it. When
the state pressures me or my kids
to do it, it is not then religious

1,120.000 acre-feet, and serves over
85,000 acres of fine agricultural

In the central acrca of the state,

Opinions
The Supreme Court is composed,
as nearly as a mortal man's mind
can decide, with the most learned
and experienced legal minds. It
was not a decision made by il
literate backwoodsmen. You don't,
of course, reason that any man
is infallible, but by the best meth
od we can devise we have asked
our lop mind": to interpret the law
of our land. This is our supreme
protection from dictatorship. It
might be noted that the vote was
6 to 1. not the usual 5-4.
The huge outcry among so many
distinguished congressmen and oth
ers can only be understood as mass
hysteria. Nobody is stopping any
body from thinking or believeing
anylhing.

These facilities, too, provide mag
nificent oppottunilies for recrea
tion in addition to their primary
purpose of irrigation storage.
The Baker and the Burnt River
projects in eastern Oregon are also
important basic facets in the econ
omy of their immediate areas, as
well as to the slate and region.
These 2 projects, embracing near
ly 23,000 irrigable acres, are serv
ed by Thief Valley reservoir on
Powder river and Unity reservoir
on Burnt river, respectively. These
structures were built by the Bu
reau of Reclamation during the
1930's.
Projects Many
In eastern Oregon along the Ida
ho border, some 35.000 acres are
served by Warm Springs and Agen
cy Valley reservoirs. The first of
these was constructed privately in
1919. The latter was built by the
bureau in the late 1920's.
In the southern part of the state,
the Bureau of Reclamation has re
habilitated facilities serving over
10,000 acres on the Grants Pass
project, and nearly 14,000 acres on
the Mcdford and Rogue River Val
ley Irrigation districts.
A sound construction program in
Oregon has been under way by the
Bureau of Reclamation in the past
several years, and it is continuing.
Construction is practically com
plete now on the Talent division of
the Rogue River Basin project
serving about 5,300 acres of new
lands and a supplemental irriga
tion water supply to another 23.800
acres in southwestern Oregon. This
project included construction of the
62,000 acre-foot Howard Prairie
reservoir, the 40,000 acre-foot Em
igrant reservoir, the 16.000 acre
foot Hyatt Prairie reservoir and
the 16,000 kilowatt capacity Green
Springs powerplant. The project
reservoirs are proving to be recre
ation centers for the area.
Construction is nearly completed
on the Crooked River project serv
ing full irrigation water supplies to
9,500 acres and supplemental wa
ter to another 10,800 acres in cen
tral Oregon. Initial storage in the
155,000 acre-foot capacity Prine
villo reservoir on Crooked river
was available lor tne nrst ume
for the 19G1 irrigation season. The
reservoir filled for the first time
during this past spring.
Other recent construction work
in Oregon included the 13.060 acre
foot capacity Wasco reservoir on
Clear creek serving 2.100 acres on
the Juniper division of the Wapini
tia project.
Construction Under Way
Construction has recently been
started on two new Oregon recla
mation projects.
The S5V-! million The Dalles proj
ect will provide irrigation water un
der sprinkler pressure to 5,420
acres lying near the city of The
Dalles. The water will be pumped
from the Columbia river below The
Dalles dam.
Tho second project, Bully Creek
dam will be a rolled earthfill struc
ture 104 feet high and about 3,109
feet long. Bully Creek reservoir
will have a storage capacity of
32,000 acre-feet which will provide
needed supplemental irrigation wa
ter to the 35.000 acre Vale project.
Legislation is now pending be
fore the Congress to authorize con
