New York -Sen. John F.j
Kennedy of Massachusetts de
clared today that he favors
strict separation of church
and states, is strongly opposed
to the federal government's
extending support to any
church or its schools and is
against appointing an ambas
sador to the Vatican.
Kennedy, a Catholic who is
considered a leading candi
date for the Democratic presi
dential nomination in 1960,
said "there can be no' ques
tion" of federal funds being
used for support of parochial
or private schools because "it

Neuberger Backs Oath Provisions
Washington - Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger has announced
his support of legislation in
troduced by .Sen. John F. Ken
nedy to repeal the loyalty
oath provisions of the Nation
al scholarship act.
In announcing his intention
to vote for the Kennedy bill,
Neuberger said that he agreed
with the opposition to the
loyalty-oath section recently
expressed by the President
and faculty of Reed college.
"The state of Oregon has a
special stake in opposing this
negative oath in the scholar
ship bill," Neuberger contin
ued, "because Oregon was one
of the few states in the Far
West not to succumb to the
hysteria early in the 1950s,
which resulted in special loy
alty oaths beine foisted on ed
ucators in nearly every "other
Western state. In fact, such an
oath nearly destroyed the
morale of many great educa
tional institutions in the state
of California."
Neuberger said it seemed
unfair to single out students
for a special loyalty affidavit
under the Federal scholarship
act when, for example, some
S4.8 billion could be paid to
farmers under the price-sup
port bill and no such loyalty
oath at all was required un
der these circumstances.
Neuberger also said he sup
ported Senator Kennedy's
contention that card-carrying
Communists . would have no
hesitation in. falsely signing
the affidavit in the bill,
whereas those punished would
be loyal Americans with
scruples of conscience about
such procedures.
Deer Antlers Show
Physical Condition
Wausau, Wis. - (Science
Service) - Antler development
of buck deer denotes physical
condition rather than age, says
D. L.'Corbin, Wisconsin Con
servation Department game
manager here. Deer reaching
extremely old age finally just
grow spikes. More trophy
antlers are found on younger
deer in some areas than in
others because of better, food
conditions. Having served as
weapons during the mating
season, the antlers are then
dropped, and new ones grown
the next summer. Corbin
said few dropped antlers are
found because rabbits, squir
rels, mice ana porcupines
gnaw them for their mineral
content.
Governments Said
Shying Away From
Cigarette Claims
London, (Science Service)
-Because of revenue brought
by tobacco taxes, gov
ernments all over the world
are shying away from trying
to link cigarette smoking
with lung cancer, a British
doctor charges.
Dr. Robert McCurdy, med
ical officer of health to a
number of districts in the
county of Norfolk, Eng.,
points out that tobacco tax
last year brought England
over $20,000,000,000 - more
than the total cost of the
whole of Britain's national
health servicethe 'cradle to
the grave" welfare state.
19 Investigations
By mid-1957, Dr. McCurdy
points out, there had tr.en 19
separate large-scale investig
ations in seven countries. All
came to the conclusion that
smoking caused lung cancer,
he said. Yet what was said
after a toast to "The Queen,
God b 1 e-s s her?" It was,
"Gentlemen, you may
smoke."
Dr. McCurdy points out
that if a man took prussic
acid and dropped dead, it
could be a coincidence. Simi
larly, if thousands of heavy
smokers died of lung cancer,
it would be "coincidental"
at least, many people would
prefer to think so.
"At the present rate of in
crease," says Dr. McCurdy,
"lung cancer will claim over
60,000 lives a year before
the end of the century. Only
two epidemic diseases, plague
in 1348 and 1665, and in
fluenza in 1918 (when the
world's population was much
smaller than it is today), have
been known to cause more
deaths in one year, and then
only for a brief period, not
year after year."
'Smokers Code' Asked
Dr. McCurdy wants gov
ernments to issue a "Smok
ers' Code." He lists four sug
gestions, or "minimum de
mands," to be included in it.
They are: 1. Issue a "Smok
ers' Code" handbook, with
humorous illustrations to
show the perils of lung canc
er. 2. Prohibit smoking in
all public transport and
places of entertainment. 3.
Ban all advertising of tobacco
products until they have been
passed as safe by qualified
medical researchers. 4. Stop
the cheap issue of such "a
dangerous drug" to young
servicemen.
Dr. McCurdy himself is a
non-smoker. "I tried it when
I was about 18," he says,
"but found no pleasure in it."

Each on Own Merits
In an article appearing in
the new issue of Look Maga
zine, the 41-year-old senator
stated that fringe matters
such as buses, lunches and
other services are primarily
social and economic issues,
not religious, and that each
case must be judged on its
merits.'
Asked his views on Ameri
can diplomatic relations with
the Vatican, Kennedy de
clared: "I am flatly opposed to the
appointment of an ambassa
dor to the Vatican. Whatever ,
advantages it might have in
Rome-and I'm not convinced
of these-they would be more
than offset by the divisive ef
fect at home."
Kennedy insisted that Ca
tholicism would not clash
with presidential duties,
pointing out that "whatever
one's religion in his private
life may be, for the officehold
er, nothing takes precedence
over, his oath to uphold the
Constitution and all its parts
. . . including the strict sepa
ration of church and state."
Complete Statement -
He indicated in the Look
article that he would make a
complete statement of his
views on the religious issue if
he is a candidate next year.
Also quoted in the article
was Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
who denied that she opposes
Kennedy's candidacy because
he is a Catholic.
""If I approved of a candi
date," she said, "I would have
no qualms about him because
of his religion. I do not have
qualms, and I do not think a
Catholic would be a handicap
on the ticket."
