Protestant Segment
Sharply Split on
Catholic President
Washington (UPD The cler
gymen of one major Protest
ant denomination are sharply
divided in their attitudes to
ward a Catholic presidential
candidate, a poll disclosed to
day. The denomination is the
United Presbyterian church
in the U.S.A. which has about
3,100,000 members, mostly in
northern and western Amer
ica. "
Strong Interest Indicated
The views of its clergy
were solicited by a magazine
named "Monday Morning"
which is published by the de
nomination and distributed
free to all of its members.
Of the 10,947 ministers on
the mailing lists, 1,047 or
about 10 per cent, filled out
and returned a questionnaire
Acid Hurled Info
Oregonian Store
Portland -(UPD- A fruit jar
containing some type of acid
was hurled into the drug store
at the corner of the Oregonian
building late Tuesday just be
fore closing time, employees
reported.
Two sales people said the
jar broke on the tile floor at
the top of steps leading up
from the entrance. The acid
spread over about 20 square
feet of floor.
Veva Whorton, sales wom
an, and Henry Ogan, who has
the lunch counter, said they
did not see the jar thrown.
The type of acid was not im
mediately determined. They
said the tile flooring was
damaged.
I which appeared in the Nov,
16 edition. Since the question
naire had to be clipped out,
pasted to a postcard and
mailed, a voluntary response
of 10 per cent indicated a fair
ly strong interest.
Threo Statements
The questionnaire consisted
of three statements supposed
to cover the range of possible
Protestant attitude toward a
Catholic presidential candi
date. Clergymen were asked
to check whether they agreed,
disagreed or were undecided
about each statement.
The most "liberal" position
was reflected by the state
ment: "The religious affilia
tion of a presidential candi
date is irrelevant."
Only 57 of the clergymen
agreed with this, while 875
positively disagreed. Seven
teen were undecided and the
rest didn't respond to the
statement.
High Response
The opposite extreme of
view was represented by the
statement: "A Protestant min
ister might support a Roman
Catholic candidate if the can
didate gave assurance he
would uphold the principle
and practice of separation of
church and state."
Agreement was expressed
by 469 ministers, and dis
agreement by 445. Seventy
seven said they were unde
cided. The only avowed Catholic
presidential aspirant, Sen.
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) is
on record with assurances
that he would uphold church
state separation. Neither Ken
nedy nor any other possible
candidate was mentioned by
name in the poll, however.

Coast Guard Recruiter
To Have Local Hours
V Boilerman First Class John
Wiemelt, Coast Guard recruit
er from Eugene, has announc
ed that he will be available
in Medford the second and
fourth Tuesdays of each

Navy recruiting office in the
Medford post office building

days, he said. He started the
local visit yesterday.
Washington-tfJPD - The gov
ernment today ordered an ear
ly start on ultra-powerful up
per stages for the Saturn
rocket designed for missions
to the moon and planets.
The upper stages will be
powered by liquid hydrogen
and liquid oxygen, the most
efficient rocket fuel yet de
veloped. The Saturn, being
built by the Army Ballistic
Missile Agency at Huntsville,
Ala. is an eight-engine booster
capable of generating 1,500,
000 pounds of thrust.
Carries Giant Payloads
With two upper stages, it
will tower 150 feet and will
be able to carry giant pay
loads to the moon or to Mars
and Venus. Even more ef
ficient later models are in the
works. -
Ground tests for the booster
are scheduled for early this
spring at Huntsville. The first
flight test, with dummy up
per stages, is scheduled for
1961-62. The first full-fledged
space mission probably will
be undertaken in 1964-65.
The first Saturn version is
expected to be able to put 15
tons in a 300-migh-high orbit.
This is roughly 10 times as
heavy a payload as Sputnik
III, Russia's biggest satellite.
Later Saturn versions are
expected to put more than 100
tons in orbit, and to launch
up to four tons on missions
to Mars and Venus.
The Saturn ultimately, it has
been said officially, should be
able to send "several men on
a trip around the moon, and
even placing them in a satel
lite orbit about the moon, be
fore returning them to earth."
