Kennedy Attempts to
End Religion Issue
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Los Angeles- OIPD -In his
spceoh accepting the Demo
cratic presidential nomina
tion, Sen. John F. Kennedy
did two things to reassure
Protestants who entertain
misgivings about a Catholic
for president.
First, he pleded himself un
equivocally "to reject any
kind of religious pressure or
obligation that might directly
or indirectly interfere with
my conduct of the presidency
in the national interest."
Second, he quoted scripture
-including a passage from the
Old Testament both of Isaiah
that is particularly dear to
Safety of Green
Is Confirmed
A letter and a telephone
call during the week end have
confirmed the safety of Lee
A. Green, a teacher in a mis
sion primary school in the
Congo area, Africa, accord
ing to his mother, Mrs. W. L.
Green, Medford.
She reported that Satur
day evening she received a
long distance telephone call
from a Mrs. Adeline in Penn
sylvania. She,' also believed
to be associated with mission
ary work, had reportedly seen
and talked with Green while
on a trip to the Congo about
a week ago. She added that
the local man had taken his
family to another area called
Ruanda, northeast of the Con
go. A special-delivery letter
Saturday night further con
firmed her son's security. The
letter, dated July 4, was writ
ten by Mrs. Green's son, but
mailed by Henry Sonnevelt
in the United States. Sonne
velt, president of the mission
ary board in Chicago, 111., had
talked to Green several days
earlier, and offered to mail
his letter after his return
home.
According to the letter
from Green, no mail was be
ing dispatched since planes
were being loaded with pas
sengers to be evacuated. As
of earlier this month, how
ever, he wrote that they were
"all fine" and they were to
stay at the other locality un
til things quieted down.

wife and a companion were

parently the victims of a
lightning bolt.
A rescue party with pack
horses set out to bring the
three bodies down from the
13,500-foot mountain, on the
Continental Divide 35 miles

the hearts of Evangelical Pro
testants.
By displaying a fumlllurlty
with Uie Bible, Kennedy prob
ably surprised and pleased
some Protestants. Part of the
folklore of American Protes
tantism Is a notion Uiat Cath
olics never read the Bible.
May be Criticised
While Protestants and oth
ers also will applaud Ken
nedy's pledge to resist "re
ligious pressure," he may in
cur some criticism from mem
bers of his own church for
the way he phrased it.
Several Catholics at this
convention remarked, after
hearing the speech, that it
would be easy to draw an in
ference that Kennedy expect
ed an attempt by the Cath
olic hierarchy to bring "pres
sure" on him.
A close reading of Ken
nedy's text shows no actual
implication that he anticipates
any ecclesiastical pressures.
Catholics Sensitive
But American Catholics
have become sensitive about
Kennedy's efforts to allay
Protestant suspicions. In
March, 1959. Kennedy drew
a chorus of rebukes from the
Catholic press for stating in
a Look Magazine Interview:
"Whatever one's religion in
his private life may be, for
the officeholder nothing takes
precedence over his oath to
uphold the Constitution and
and all its parts-including the
First Amendment and the
strict separation of church
and state."
Catholic publications said
Kennedy seemed to be bend
ing over backwards to "ap
pease bigots." Some Protes
tant clergymen joined them
in deploring Kennedy's sug
gestion that a President's re
ligious convictions are irrele
vent to the great decisions a
President must make.
