Wayne Morse may have in advertently done a consider able political favor for the D e m oc ratic president i a I contender h e has most criti c i z e d , Sen. John F. Ken nedy, by forc ing a Senate vote on one of A. Rott- Smith me tuuuujr is sues which plague Catholic politicians the question of whether the federal govern ment should offer financial assistance to parochial schools. During the recent Senate debate on federal aid to edu cation, Morse proposed a new program of federal loans for private elementary and high schools. It was advanced as an amendment to tne main bill. The main school bill provided outright grants to. the states for support of pub lic school construction and teacher salaries. Morse himself indicated the issue was politically delicate when he said several senators had urged him not to raise this question. No senator rose to take issue with the prin ciple embodied in Morse's proposal for helping non-public schools, but it was defeat ed, 49 to 37. Kennedy Opposed Sen. Kennedy, the presi dential aspirant most likely to be sensitive on issues affect ing the Catholic church, voted against the loan program for parochial schools. It was the first opportunity Kennedy has had to demonstrate the con viction he expressed last year in Look magazine, as follows: "There can be no question of federal funds being used for support of parochial schools. It's unconstitutional under the First Amendment as interpreted by the Supreme Court. I'm opposed to the federal government's extend ing support to sustain any church or its schools. As for such fringe matters as buses, lunches and other services, the issue is primarily social Central Rexall Drug Main and Central S&H GREEN STAMPS low Science What is uwleis coughing? There are two kind of coughs: I. Productive the occasional useful cough that clean the throat and bronchial tubei. OONDRIL does not interr.ro with the useful cough. J. Non productive the nagging cough that rocks the body, uselessly, and serves no purpose. OONDRIL stops useless coughing. Lift to Sen. and economic and not re ligious. Each case must be judged on its merits within the law as interpreted by the courts." Kennedy said he thought the "separation of church and state is fundamental to our American concept and heri tage and should remain so." Political observers here be lieve Kennedy's vote on the Morse amendment won't help or hurt him particularly with those who strongly oppose or support him because he is a Catholic, but that Protestant fence-sitters - those who ad mire him as a political figure but wonder whether he would act on the basis of his own convictions quite apart from the position taken by the Catholic church - are likely to be favorably impressed. Kennedy, in fact, split with Catholic leaders on two as pects of the school bill. In addition to opposing the loan proposal, Kennedy supported the amendment which allow ed public school teacher salar ies to be aided by federal funds. The Catholic position was formally expressed by Archbishop Albert G. Meyer of Chicago in a letter to the Senate Education subcommit tee. He recommended equity" for private schools through long-term low-interest federal loans, and on the other issue stated: "A federal subsidy for teachers' salaries appears incompatible with the id?a of temporary aid; for, such a proposal, as a practical matter, is inherently non- terminable." Johnson Supported National Catholic Welfare Confer ence officials here thought they had secured enough advance commitments to get the private school loan program added to the school bill. The unexpected opposi tion of Sen. Lyndon B. John son (D-Tex.) they believe caused seven Southern sen ators to go with Johnson against it and brought defeat of the Morse amendment. Of the other presidential contenders, all Protestants, only Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) voted with Morse. Sen. Stuart Symington (D Mo.) ducked the issue com pletely by not indicating where he stood. Religious News Service reported that Kennedy was the only Cath olic senator who voted against the Morse amendment. The vote on the Morse amendment demonstrated that there is substantial support in Congress for federal assis tance to parochial schools. In addition to the 37 senators who voted for the loan pro posal, ' five others indicated they would have supported it. Thus, at least 42 of 100 sen ators favor the idea. Stops Useless' Coughing with a Tiny Tablet and a sip of water! Controls nerves that control coughing due te colds and excessive smoking. Helps break up bronchial congestion raises phlegm. NEW YORK, N. Y. (Special) A major breakthrough in cough con trol is now announced with the introduction to the public of a new anti-cough tablet It's a tin; tablet. ..to be taken with a sip of water. Working through the blood stream, this remarkable tablet stops useless coughing up to 6 full hours. Called DONDRIL Anti Cough Tablets, this entirely new concept in cough control is now, by Morse Kennedy i &en. Kicnara L,. jNeuoerger (D-Ore.) was one of five ab sent senators who indicated they opposed the loan plan, along with the 49 senators who voted against it, making a total opposition of 54. Four senators didn't take a stand. Morse said he wanted it understood he "does not favor grants" to private schools but that "these private schools ought to be helped, because of the public service they ren der to the American people in the field of education, with interest - bearing loans for school construction, and school construction only." Apart from the $916 mil lion in the school bill for grants to public schools, Morse's proposal would have added $75 million in funds for loans to private schools. The share of Oregon's private schools would have been $450,000. Not Keeping Pace Morse said private school "construction is not keeping pace with enrollments." He argued that this condition would force more children to attend public schools, thus ag gravating the shortage of pub lic school facilities. He said his proposal was really "an economy amend ment" be cause it would alleviate such shortages without cost to the government, inasmuch as the loans would be repaid with interest. Some public school officials feared his amendment "jeop ardizes the chance of getting the maximum amount for pub lic schools," said Morse, but it is his position that "public school officials are wrong to take a selfish point of view that they should not encour age some assistance to the private schools in view of what the private schools are doing for public education in this country. To avoid this kind of jurisdictional conflict, I thought we ought to make clear that we are not seeking to take money away from pub lic school officials but we are seeking additional money for the private schools."

Tuesday Feb. 23, 1960 Family Council Bert J. - I need my sister's helP- . . ... Wendy J. - He acted mie a heel. Bert J. - I am 17 and I've iust given ud going steady with a girl I went out with for nearly a year. 1 got oorea with going out with the same girl all the time. Jill was nice, but she picked on me at times. The week after we broke up I asked Jill's best friend, Anita, to go out with me. She turned on me and said "What do you think I am?" I tried another friend of Jill's and got the same treatment. Then I asked my sister Wendy to get me a date and Wendy turned on me just like the others. It seems as though Jill has lined up a boycott. Was that right? My sister takes her side and won't give me any help. And I need Wendy's help if I'm ever going to get a date again. Wendy J.-The way I heard the story, Bert is to blame and I'm not going to stand up for anyone who is wrong. 'Even if he is my own brother, Bert acted like a heel. Jill told Anita and Anita told me that after their week ly date, Bert just walked off and never said a word. He never discussed breaking off with her. He didn't say any thing about a date for the fol lowing week. He just left her wondering what was wrong. The other girls all wonder ed when Jill and Bert didn't show up at our school dance the following week, and when Anita told them how he had jilted Jill and asked her out they were all furious. It was no organized boycott and there's nothing I can do about it. The Council: Organized or not, there is a boycott on and we think Bert will just have to sweat it out, knowing he brought it on himself. We agree that his sister shouldn't defend him in his wrong ac tions, but we don't think she should condemn him to oth ers. Bert should recognize that he behaved very cruelly in dropping his girl with no ex planations and immediately asking her best friend out. Whether or not he admits it to himself, this action was spiteful and reveals the inten tion of wounding. We suspect that Bert was more than bored with his girl friend. Boredom usually works two ways as do most feelings. Wrhen a boy and girl get bored with one another, they tend to simply drift apart and start dating others. Bert, however, behaved like a man bent on an act of vengeance. Our guess is that Jill hurt his feelings in some way. He did n't like to admit it to her or to himself, but decided to get back at her at the first op portunity. Bert should bear in mind that it pays to be honest about feelings. One lie leads to an other and nobody becomes as confused and deceived as the liar himself. Bert should have admitted to himself that he had a beef against his girl friend. He mentions that she "picked on" him. He should have told her he didn't like it. Then she would know that she'd have to reform or find another boy friend and he would know exactly what it was he didn't like about a par ticular kind of girl. Bert should now recognize that he is both too young and too old for steady dating. Youngsters in the early teens go in for steady dating as a means of learning to socialize. The custom operates like a pair of water wings for a be ginner swimmer - just getting him accustomed to the water and the swimming movements. But the learner doesn't really learn to swim until he gives up the wings. In the future when Bert starts "going steady" he must consider it a preliminary step toward an engagement so we'd recom mend that he swim around freely for a few years until he feels ready to look around for a lifetime partner.

Portland To Host School Principals Portland - (UPD - Portland plays host starting Saturday to the 44th annual convention of the National Association of Secondary - School principals with 4,000 to 5,000 persons ex pected to attend. i The convention runs through Wednesday, March 2. Dr. Cliff Robinson, director of secondary education for Eugene public schools, will preside at major sessions in the Civic Auditorium. Principal speaker for the Chessman Said To Face Heavy Odds To Escape San Francisco -ffiPD- Mem bers of the California Legisla ture indicated Monday . that convict-author Caryl Chess man, 38, will face heavy odds in his efforts to escape the gas chamber for the ninth time. The robber-rapist was grant ed a reprieve by Gov. Ed mund G. Brown early Friday, just 10 hours before Chess man's eighth scheduled execu tion at San Quentin prison. Brown said he granted the 60-day reprieve to allow the people of California, through the Legislature, to decide whether capital punishment should be abolished. The governor said his ac tion was partly motivated by a State Department message concerning the possible effect of Chessman's execution on President Eisenhower's good will trip to South America. Both reasons touched off immediate controversies. The Legislature has defeat ed eight bills to ban the death penalty in the past 27 years- the latest in 1959. Poll Opposes Clemency A survey conducted by United Press International during the week end showed that the Legislature again would vote down any attempt to abolish capital punishment. A majority of the members also was overwhelmingly against clemency for Chess man. The UPI survey, with 85 per cent of the state's 118 legislators contacted, showed: Self-Employed May Receive Break Washington - (UPD Self-employed persons now stand at least a 50-50 chance of being awarded a permanent break on their income taxes to help them save retirement funds. Prospects that some such legislation will become law this year rose with the dis closure that the Treasury is modifying its adamant opposi tion. The Treasury now is drafting a plan of its own. Informed sources said the plan would be presented soon to senators as an acceptable -or at least less objectionable alternative to a House-passed bill strongly opposed by the administration. These sources said the administration might urge enactment of the Treas ury plan. Wrap-Tie Wonder 9088 SIZES 12-20; 40 Cinch to sew - just three main pattern parts to cut out, stitch up.

Assembly (78 members and two vacancies)-37 against, 20 for and 7 no stand. Brown's move also brought a threat of his impeachment and started an investigation into how the State Depart ment became involved in the case. Chief Deputy State Attor ney Richard Rogan disclosed he was involved in discussions that led to the State Depart ment message. Rogan said he was "put in touch" with George V. Allen, director of the U.S. Informa tion Agency, on Wednesday and expressed concern "as .a citizen" over the effects of the ' execution on the Presi dent's reception in Latin America. The State Department tel gram was delivered to the governor the following night. Threat of Impeachment The threat of impeachment came from Bruce V. Regan, a conservat'" . Republican from Pasadena, ffe said he was seriously considering intro ducing an impeachment bill at a special legislative session starting Feb. 29. Brown said he would call a special .session, concurrent with a scheduled March bud get session to consider the capital punishment issue. Chessman plans no new legal maneuvers for the pres ent, according to his attorney, George T. Davis. He said they would await the outcome of the legislative session. Deputy Attorney General Arlo E. Smith said he plans as soon as possible to ask the Los Angeles Superior Court, which convicted and con demned Chessman in 1948, to set a new execution date. California Attorney Gen eral Stanley Mosk predicted in Los Angeles Sunday night that Chessman would be exe cuted at the end of his 60 day reprieve. "Some people are under the impression Gov. Brown has altered Chessman's sentence," Mosk said. "He has not done so, but has merely postponed the date of execution for 60 days." "In the meantime," he add ed, "international tensions will have eased and the peo ple of California will have spoken on the issue of capital punishment through their legislature."
