a
Supreme Court's ruling can aid
in strengthening our churches
There is considerable evidence
at least some churchmen believe the
ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court on
Monday regarding religious obser
vances in public schools will be a
long-range boon to the nation's
churches. The ruling should
strengthen, not weaken, American
religion. The court's ruling was not
unexpected. The eight justices who
' signed the majority opinion were
true to the American constitution
and to the court's previous decisions
on related matters.
This nation had, at last count,
258 different religious sects, and
- even then nearly 70 million Ameri
can people have no formal affilia
tion with any religious groups In
view of these facts no other court
ruling was possible. There was no
other manner of preserving the free
dom of conscience of our people, and
preserving the constitutional separa
tion of church and state.
There are some things the
1 court's decisions does, and some
things it does not do. Among the
latter:
1. The count does not prohibit
; the reading of the Bible In the study
' of literature or history in public
schools. '
2. The court does not impair
the right of any American in or
out of school to pray and read
; the Bible.
What the court decision does
do is to:
1. Curb the authority of public
' officials in the area of religion, just
' as they are curbed in many other
, areas by the constitution.
2. Prohibit authorities from se
lecting a prayer and requiring it to
be said in schools. Nor can they re
quire regular ceremonial reading of
the Bible.
There has been, in recent years,
a tendency for some churchmen to
use schools as a crutch. The court's
decision will once again bring the
proper relationship between church
and state into clear focus.
In this connection a recent pol
icy . position of the Presbyterian
church is worthy of some note.
Adopted prior to the court's ruling,
the Presbyterian statement puts that
church firmly into the position of
advocating further separation be
tween church and state.
The Presbyterians expressed
their belief that Bible reading and
organized prayer in school is wrong.
Even if it is not wrong, they say, it's
not a worthwhile religious exercise.
The church expressed concern over
tax exemption for church properties,
and said churches should seek some
method of making contributions to
government in lieu of taxes.
The removal of religious observ
ances such as prayers before lunch
and opening prayers from the public
schools should serve to strengthen
religion in this country, rather than
weaken It.
' The court's decision should help
spur a strong effort by the churches
to give religion a deeper meaning
in the family and home than it has
had in many families and many
homes in recent years. And if this
can be done our churches will all be
better off than they are at present.

For some time he was urged re

July, then again last January.
Various lady pilots wanted to

flights. But Webb said no. His ex
$$tj cuse was a rule that only veteran
jet test pilots could qualify for the
! astronaut program, and there are
; no female jet test pilots. Some
aviation experts disagree with
Webb on this qualification, but he
stuck to his guns.
About three weeks ago, the
American embassy cabled Wash
ington that the Russinas had plan
ned to put a Russian woman in
space as part of the big Russian
May Day celebration, but some
thing went wrong.
This was why Khrushchev seem
ed disappointed on Way Day, and
why the Russians suddenly ar
ranged to have Premier Fidel Cas
tro yanked out of Cuba and flown
to Moscow as the star May Day
attraction. This arrangement re-
edly was made only two days
advance.
The American embassy also ca

on trying and probably would '

frankly admitted that Negro lead
ers had difficulty controlling
"their own community."
"My people are more shocked
and frustrated by all the violence
than are white people," said Ran
dolph. "Half-way or token civil
rights are not enough. They want
full equality.
"But the problem will never be
solved until white leaders all over
the country offer more coopera
tion. The chief difficulty of Negro
leaders, meantime, will continue
to be younger Negroes who are
out of school, out of jobs, out of
hope, and out of faith."
J. C. Turner, president of the
District of Columbia AFL-CIO, ob
jected to allegations that organiz
ed labor is not doing its part. He
pointed out that there will be only
240 new "apprenticeships" in
Washington this year for jobs in
the building trades.
"If we gave all of these appren
ticeships to Negroes, it would not
solve their local unemployment,"
declared Turner. "What's the
matter with banks, doctors' and
lawyers' offices, and other places
where Negroes are being barred
from employment?
"Don't just blame the labor
unions. We believe in equal op
portunity, but that is meaningless
unless there are jobs to be had."
Attorney General Robert Ken
nedy candidly agreed that it also
is meaningless "to look back and
say that this administration had
done a lot"
"What we have done Is still not
enough when so much more has
to be done," he added.
The President himself agreed
that his administration could do
more about civil rights. Looking at
the approximately 230 labor lead
ers sitting before him he com
mented: "I see too many white
faces among you. There also are
too many whito faces around me.
Both of us can and should do
more to give Negroes the rights
and opportunity they deserve."
He has large-scale plan
for altering map of Peru
By United Preil International
Fernando Belaunde Terry is a"
handsome, darkly intent man who
as an architect also has largc
scalo plans for altering the map
of Peru.
Now, as Peru's newly elected
next president, he may have a
chance for at least a start on
putting those plans into effect.
His dream is of a "forest edge"
road which would open up the un
tapped resources of eastern Peru,
and benefit Colombia, Ecuador
and Bolivia as well.
He explained those pluns to this
correspondent a few weeks ago,
spreading maps on the floor of a
pleasant room off a sun-filled patio
of his home at the edge of Lima.
On the walls of the room were
mementos of his travels by horse
back and canoe along the eastern
edges of the Andes which divide
Peru into coast, high sierra and
jungle.
' Spans 3,000 Miles
The road Belaunde foresees
would run 3.000 miles along trails
which, in Peru, Belaunde himself
has travelled.
He estimates its total cost at
$216 million, with Peru's share
amounting to $81 million.
The project already has been
partly surveyed and Belaunde
hopes the job can be finished un
der the Alliance for Progress.
Peru, Belaunde says, has only
about one hal( acre of arable land
per person at present.
He estimates that every mile of
the new road would open up more
than 3.000 acres of land, doubling
the amount now available.
Opens Three Rivers
It would open up access to the
Amazon. Orinoco and Rio Del
Plata, three of South America's
greatest rivers, thus extending its
benefits to Argentina and Brazil
as well.
And it would make available
vast new resources of oil, gas,
manganese and jungle products.
Along with his opxments in last
Sunday's general elections, Bel
aunda considers Peru's six mil
lion poverty-stricken Indians as
the nation's greatest problem. The
road, he believes, would go far
toward improving their lot and
bringing them into the national
economy.
For them he also would estab
lish MO pools of farm machinery
and tools to help modernize pres
ent primitive farming methods.
Party Moderately Left
The Popular Action Party which
Belaunde heads is considered mod
erately left, between the leftwing
APRA Party headed by Victor
Raul Haya do la Torre and the
rightwing Odria Union of former
President Manuel Odria, the other
two major candidates whom Bel
aunde defeated.
The winning party is na
tionalistic but, Belaunde explained,
nationalistic within a framework
of continental cooperation.
Belaunde specifically rejected
Communist support and called for
encouragement of private indus
try and investment and for co
ordination of Peruvian and Unit
ed States efforts.
Belaunde ran second to Haya de
la Torre in last year's elections
which an army take-over annulled
on grounds of fraud. In this elec
tion there remained doubt that the
army would have permitted Haya
to take office even had he won.
The armed forces approve of
Belaunde.

Use of initiative
hinted by hunters
To the Editor:
For many years the sportsmen
have been led to believe that the
Game Commission followed the
biologists' reports and recom
mendations concerning the hunt
ing seasons and the number of
doe tags or special seasons. It
has come to the attention of the
writer by studying the report of
the biologists for the year 1963
the deer season, and especially
the deer season in Central Oregon,
that the Game Commission does
not follow the biologists' reports.
A typical example is that the bio
logists were recommending in
their report that there would be
no doe seasons in the Metolius
area but the Commission came
up with 500 doe permits and in
addition to this, a special season
hunt in November.
This causes me to wonder
whose report they are basing their
decisions on the Forest Serv
ice or other interests?
The Game Commission by their
experimental policies in total dis
regard for other evidential facts in
setting the seasons and limits, is
causing a hardship upon the peo
ple of the state of Oregon. The
sportsman is losing out as well as
costing business thousands of dol
lars from lack of better hunting.
We can look forward to prob
ably the poorest hunting season
on record this coming fall.
This will reflect for a good
many years on the economy of
the communities and state.
Having attended both hearings
on big game in Portland, it is a
mystery to me why big timber
companies are losing thousands of
dollars in damage to young trees
when the small tree farmers test
ify that the deer do not bother
their plantings whatsoever. It
causes me to wonder if the big
companies are not using this for
an excuse for a tax write-off.
The change that is needed is to
get back to management of re
sources and not experimentation.
The Commission having failed in
game management should resign
and leave the way open for the
Governor to appoint a new com
mission who will be interested in
a sportsman's viewpoint and prop
er game management and not let
the public and private lumber in
dustries set the policy of the Com
mission. If they do not change
their policies there is no doubt in
my mind that an initiative will be
started and the commissioners
elected by the sportsmen.
It should be remembered that
from 50 to 60 thousand people
signed the petition asking for a
review of the game policies in the
state and an initiative would not
take nearly as that many signa
tures. Very truly yours,
Oral Davis

Philatelists one of few groups
which cherish imperfections
By Dick West
UPI Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (UPI) You
don't have to smile when you call
a man a philatelist, but some
times It's hard to keep from it.
Stamp collectors comprise one
of tho few groups on earth that
cherish imperfection. Even the
smallest flaw In a postage stamp
will send a philatelist into spasms
of delight.
This passion for the defective
seems a mite curious to those of
us who regard the postage stamp
merely as something to mail a
letter with.
Some of the controversies that
shake the philatelic world as,
for example, the inverted printing
of the Dag Hammarskjold mem
orial stamp last fall are likely
to cause a non-philatelist to quiv
er with amusement.
Question of Eyebrows
At the moment. It looks like a
major flap is shaping up over
the question of Amelia Earhart's
eyebrows.
A new airmail stamp honoring
the famed aviatrix, who disap
peared during a flight over the
Pacific in 1037. recently was un
veiled by the Post Office Depart
ment. It doesn't go on sale until July
25, but already an issue has
arisen over whether R. M. Bow
er, who engraved live stamp, ne
glected to equip Miss Earhart's
likeness with eyebrows.
When I heard about this, I
stopped by the department to
take a look at the sample and
also to inspect a photographic en
largement of the area around her
eyes.

of the silver monoplane in which

No Comment
To me, her brow seemed as
barren of upholstery as that of
the Mona Lisa. But when I asked
a department press officer wheth
er Bower had indeed omitted her
eyebrows, all I got was an enig
matic smile.
The official policy of the postal
service is to be as inscrutable as
possible. I assume it seeks to
avoid giving the stamp an inflated
value on the philatelic market, as
might be the case if word got
out that Bower had goofed.
In addition to the controversy
over Miss Earhart's eyebrows,
there also has been considerable
discussion regarding her facial
expression, which I would de
scribe as a "grile," or a cross
between a grin and a smile.
She apparently was squinting
into the sun when the original
photograph was taken. Some phil
atelists say the engraving pre
sents an optical illusion in which
the eyes appear open one mo

In his early years as undis
disputed spokesman for world
communism, much of Nikila
Khrushchev's success could be
attributed to his flexibility.
Thus he was able to move at
will within the vast Communist
perimeter, keeping the Western
allies off balance at points as
widely separated as the Strait of
Formosa, the Persian Gulf and
the Baltic sea.
With the eruption of his quar
rel with Red China, "a large por
tion of that flexibility vanished
and new dangers appeared.
In the month of June, as he
prepared for two important con
ferences, Khrushchev has been
Civil rights
tieup could
block fax cut
WASHINGTON (UPI)-High ad
ministration sources today dis
counted speculation that the
threatened civil rights tieup in
Congress might block action this
year on a tax cut.
They said they still expected
Congress to approve a tax reduc
tion before the end of the year,
although the cut might be about
$8 billion instead of the $10.4 bil
lion sought by President Kennedy.
One administration official said
it was a safe bet that an income
tax cut would be voted if Con
gress had to stay in session all
year to do it.
Despite resentment by southern
ers of the civil rights program
Kennedy proposed Wednesday,
the odds are top heavy in favor
of early House passage of a two
stage cut in individual tax races
with the first reduction effective
Jan. 1.
Fear Filibuster
But some administration sup
porters privately had voiced fears
that a prolonged filibuster over
civil rights might keep the Senate
from completing action on the tax
cut this year. They said it was
possible that final action might be
delayed until January or Febru
ary. . Kennedy's tax cut proposal Is
now pending before the House
Ways and Means committee.
Chairman Wilbur D. Mills,
D-Ark., recessed sessions Wednes
day to await drafting of a bill
incorporating tax revisions the
committee has approved during
the past SO days.
The House group has tentative
ly approved changes in the tax
structure that would net $600 mil
lion in new revenue which Ken
nedy proposed in order to partly
offset the $13.7 billion in rate re
ductions he recommended.
Two Issues Hang
The only big issues still to be
resolved by the committee were
(1) the amount of the rate reduc
tions and (2) whether to impose
some of the tougher treatments
prescribed by Kennedy for in

trying to restore a measure of
his freedom of movement. , ; -
From the standpoint of the
Communist world, the most im
portant of these meetings begins
July 5 in Moscow when Soviet
and Red Chinese representatives
meet in an attempt to iron out
the ideological differences now
pulling them apart.
Issues Interlocking
Later in the month, also In
Moscow, high-level U.S., British
and Soviet delegates will meet in
an attempt to break the stale
mate over a nuclear test ban. In
the two meetings there are inter
locking issues.
At stake in the first is a deci
sion on which of the two Com
munist giants is to have the final
say in the course of world com
munism, and for Moscow wheth
er it is to be forced into a second
class role in Asia.
In the second is the question
whether the three nuclear powera
finally can reach accord so as to
bring their combined influences
against continual spread of nu
clear weapons.
In both, maneuverability Is Im
portant to Khrushchev. And this
may be the reason for delaying
his final okay on the "hot line"
between Moscow and Washington
and his sudden withdrawal of his
offer of two to three on-site in
spections of possible underground
nuclear tests on Soviet soil.
Holds Two Weapon
Over tho heads of the Chinese,
Khrushchev holds two important
weapons.
One is Soviet economic and
military aid to Red China which
has declined steadily since their
quarrel broke into the open and
now is virtually non-existent.
The other is that a belligerent
ly uncompromising attitude by
the Chinese might force the So
viet Union to seek closer rela
tions with the United States a
possibility abhored by the Chi
nese as one of the strongest
curbs against their own
ambitions.
That the Soviets might even
tually feel such a need is at least
worthy of speculation.
President Charles de Gaulle
holds that an economically and
industrially advanced Russia will
become less and less willing to
risk its gains in war.
But the Chinese not only pro
mote wars for which they de
mand Moscow support, but also
have shown their willingness to
act independent of Moscow. In
Asia and Africa they also are
promoting racial color lines to
the Soviets' obvious disad
vantage. A further risk to Moscow Is the
fact that the Chinese may soon
be able to explode an atomic, de
vice of their own. Its early ef
fect will be psychological but fi
nally it also could pose a threat
to the Soviet Union.
These are some of the reasons
for Khrushchev's need for flexi
bility, and perhaps also help to
account for Moscow's recent
seeming hesitancy to act In world
affairs.
