leigstlation after Congress re

LAwer Freight Cost
"We feel that new designs
of c&rgo airframes and new
engines can lower the present
cost of air freight as much as
66 per cent and still enable
the air carriers to make a
satisfactory profit."
Monroney said the plan "is
not a substitute for new equip

military air transport service,
which mii9t have a basic num

have complained for some

Monroney said his plan
"would provide several hun

on immediately for military

"It could be done at a min

he said.

Kennedy Announcement Sets Stage for Revival of 1928 Catholic Controversy
New York - (UPD - Sen. John
F. Kennedy's presidential an
nouncement Saturday set the
stage for a revival of the 1928
controversy over whether a
Roman Catholic should occupy
the White House.
Not Since the late Alfred E.
Smith was the central figure
in a nationwide debate on the
subject has a Catholic made
a major bid for the presidency.
There has been no indica
tion, however, that the pub
lic arguments this year over
the possibility of a Catholic
President would be as angry
as those that raged in 1928. In
fact, many Protestant groups
began early last year to try to

PR Man Appointed
By GOP Committee
Washington - (UPD - Hal E.
Short, West Coast public re

named director of public rela

tional committee.
Shdrt, 48, was an aide in
the Republican presidential
campaigns Of 1952 and 1956.
Since then he has served as
adviser to the U. S. delega

migration, and as a delegate
to many European meetings
connected with the Refugee
Relief Act.
pave the Way for a minimum
of discussion of religion in the
1960 political campaign.
Discussion Launched
But Kennedy, himself,
launched a major discussion
of the issue late last year
when he stated publicly that
as a Roman Catholic PreSP
dent he would be unable to
approve of any ihs. govern
ment program involving birth
control. .
He has said many times that
as a Catholic, he would ob
serve the separation of church
and state if he were elected
President. He would simply
divorce himself from any pro
gram of dissemination of birth
Control information abroad, he
Said.
Kennedy's comments on
birth control set off the most
open discussion of the subject
ever reported by the nation's
press. Leaders of various de
nominations stated their views
on the subject, with most of
the Protestants lined up in
favor of planned parenthood.
Firm View Taken
Catholic groups took an
equally firm view against
birth control, and President
Eisenhower declared that he
thought it would be improper
for the United States govern
ment to play any role in plan
ned parenthood, at home or
abroad.
The principal aim of many
Protestant groups has been to
try to prevent the kind of bit
terness that tore the nation
In the 1928 campaign. The
angry debate and the preju
dices it created were among
the main reasons for the
founding of the National Con
ference of Christians and
Jews. A nationwide organiza
tion dedicated to brotherhood
of all religious groups. Its
leadership is made up equally
of Protestants, Catholics and
Jews. '
"World Outlook," a month
ly publication of the board of
missions of the Methodist
church, Said in an editorial
that debate On the issue of a
Roman Catholic president if
responsibly handled - could
stimulate constructive thought
about the relationship of
church and state.
Many Issues Cited
"It is only natural to admit
that many religious commit

said. "Thus (to begin at home)

Quakers (and other pacifists)
on national defense, Christian
Scientists on health and Ro
man Catholics on the inter
pretation of the First Amend
ment can legitimately expect
close questioning by those of
Other positions."
Dr. Allyn P. Robinson, di
rector of the greater New
York area of the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews, said that it would be
possible for a Catholic to be
elected president now, if he
were a strong candidate and
the political situation were
generally favorable.
"To be sure," he said, "there
would be some 'bigot vote'
and there would be some who
would vote for a Catholic can
didate just because he was a
Catholic . . . but I am confi
dent that the bitterness and
hatred of 1928 would not be
repeated."
Months ago, the Georgia
Baptist convention put itself
on record to adhere to the
"established principle of sepa
ration of church and state"
but rejected a resolution say
ing "No Baptist shall vote for
a Roman Catholic candidate
for President."

What year car do the Jones drive?
The Jones drive a Volkswagen, and Volkswagens look alike
from year to year.
A Volkswagen is never outmoded. Indeed, no one knows
how long a Volkswagen lasts; the first VWs made have riot
worn out. We hear from VW owners who have clocked over
100,000 mile Without engine repair. (If they should ever need
it, they will find VW service is as good as the car.)
The Volkswagen does change where it counts. An anti-
sway bar has just been added to the front suspension to mokt
curves even smoother. New insulation deadens engine and
roadway noise. And the VW's new front seats are deeply con
toured for even greater comfort. Over the years, olmost every
part in the VW has been changed but not its heart or face.
Volkswagen owners find this a happy way to drive and
to live. No doubt you will, too.
Come in and drive a new Volkswagen ijt
