Leo Smith, chairman of the Catholic Committee on Religious Rights, said a main reason for the withdrawal was that candi dates felt unable to respond pend ing a U. S. Supreme Court de cision on the Oregon textbook law. The questionnaire, mailed re cently to legislative and school board candidates, asked how they would vote on such questions as books and transportation for pa rochial schools and taxes for re ligious institutions. Smith said the committee also decided to withdraw the question naire when it found "some mis conception of its stated purpose which possibly could disrupt the growing understanding among re ligious groups in Oregon." Smith said answers already re ceived would be destroyed. Smith is the attorney fighting an Oregon Supreme Court decision that says it is unconstitutional to supply free textbooks to parochial schools. Tea Parties Hit Atty Gen. Robert Y. Thornton look a potshot at Gov. Mark Hatfield in Portland Monday night for what he said was Hat field's use of National Guards men for gubernatorial tea parties. "If 1 am your governor."

Thornton, a Democratic candi date for governor, said the place of the National Guard is in the performance of military duties and training. State Rep. Carl Fisher, Republi can candidate for Congress in the fourth district, said a Senate com mittee studying lumber problems shouid schedule a hearing in Med ford, Roseburg or Eugene. He said he had wired the re quest to Sen. Warren Magnuson. D-Vash., chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. "The economy of the fourth dis trict centers around the lumber industry and it appears logical that a hearing be set for either Medford, Roseburg or Eugene to facilitate appearance of expert witnesses," he said.

Support seen from Vatican for Rummel NEW ORLEANS (UPP-Threa segregation leaders who were ex communicated by Uie Catholic archbishop of New Orleans can look for utile sympathy if Uiey appeal their cases to Uie Vatican. Church sources here and in Rome said today that Uie Roman CaUiolic church has opposed ra cial segregation everywhere and in any form throughout Uie two milleniums of its history. They said Uie action taken against the segrcgaUonists by Archbishop Jo seph Francis Rummel, 86. was in line with tiie church's stand. Rummel invoked Uie church's severest penally Monday against Loander II. Perez Sr., Mrs. B. J. Gaillot and Jackson G.

The three indicated they would fight Uie archbishop's decision. taking their cases to Rome if nec essary and Uiey said Uie ruling would not deter their fight against dcsrgrcpaUon. But there was slight if any chance Uiat Uie Vatican would take cognizance of Uicir protestations. The Vatican praised Rummel in 1955 for clos ing a Louisiana mission for its refusal to accept a Negro priest Says Clergy Brainwashed Perez. 70, is generally regarded as Louisiana s leading segrega tionist. He publicly urged Catho lics to cut off Uie water of th church by stopping contributions. He claimed church officials had been "brainwashed by subversive forces." Mrs. GailloL 42, said she would appeal to the Vatican, and Uiat she felt confident that "God gave Uie law of segregation (and Uie Ten Commandments) to Mos es on Ml. Sinai." Ricau, 44, fmher of eight, called the excommunication a "cruel edict," and announced he would continue to fight for "racial in tegrity." He issued a long state ment last week attacking Rum mel 's school desegregation order. The archdiocese said Uie excom munication of the three was not a form of revenge or a condemna tion to hell because "God alone can do Uiis." The punishment would be lifted if the Uiree demonstrated repent ance, but Uie order said only Uie archbishop or his delegate could remove the church stigma.

Mrs. Gaillot, Perez and Ricau will be denied Uie sacraments, in cluding communion. They would not get CaUiolic burial if Uiey died while excommunicated. The archdiocese said all Uiree were sent letters threatening ex communication if they did not stop their opposition to Rummel's school integration order. Perex claimed he never got such a let ter. The church said it was mailed to him four times and each Ume It was returned marked unclaim ed. Archbishop Rummel, who said In a pastoral letter in 1956 that segregation was "sinful and mor ally wrong," announced last month that CaUiolic schools in Uiis sprawling, heavily Catholic south Louisiana archdiocese would be desegregated next full through all 12 grades.
