U.S. "Anti-Clericalism " A word which is little known, and even less understood, in the United States is "anti- clerical ism." It is well-known in Europe, and particularly in countries such as France which are preponder antly Catholic, but in which the Catholic church has little influence on governmental policies and operations. "Anti-clericalism" is used to describe the feelings of Catholics and non-Catholics alike that the church hierarchy had best not meddle in the affairs of government, nor wield too much in fluence outside its own realm of faith and morals. SOME of Europe's most distinguished statesmen c v m wcu uuwi guuu VCll'lJISilV.eS ai ill CLliW" clerical" in their viewpoint. Gen. Charles de Gaulle, president of France, is a good example. Konrad Adenauer, chancellor of the Federal Re public of Germany, is another. No one could maintain successfully that either de Gaulle or Adenauer is unduly influenced by the Vatican, in governmental matters. But it is being argued in this country, forcibly, that because Sen. John F. Kennedy is a Catholic he could not be true to his oath of office to sup port the Constitution of the U.S., if elected. e "NE Washington correspondent, a long-time observer of politics and politicians, puts it tnis way: "In the European political definition of the phrase, Kennedy is an 'anti-clerical.' This does not mean that he is not a good Catholic; he is a Catholic who believes in the separation of Church and State, or as the dic tionary puts it, one who would soft-pedal 'the in fluence of the Roman Catholic clergy in public affairs.' "Reporters have seen Instances of this, and it's on , the record. On all the trick questions birth control, parochial school aid, personal conscience Kennedy has given a categorical reply. "This reporter recalls one incident on a rainy even ing last May, in a political rally at Portland Uni versity (Oregon), a Catholic college. Answering a heck ler on his religion, Kennedy firmly declared that the Pope would never try (and In any event could not if he did) to come between him and his Constitutional oath for separation of Church and State, which, he reminded his questioner, he would take on a Bible to God. The undergraduates cheered this impressive reply, which made all the more conspicuous the silence of a group of nuns in the audience and the bank of faculty priests on the platform, who probably didn't want to get out on such dangerous ground. "American voters have a right to vote for, or against, Kennedy for his religion, but it might be wise to understand the distinctions in the matter."

LODGE AN ASSET Washington - The extra ordinary and unwilling thought is being borne in upon the pro fessional p o 1 i t icians that maybe they know a little about politics up at the United Nations, too. The patrician Whit ' Lodge, the Republican vice - presidential candidate, is turning out to be a distinct plus for the G.O.P. And this is not mere ly because as our U.N. am bassador he had nearly eight years of telling off the Rus sians before television. He is showing he knows how to mix it with all. kinds of people having all kinds of attitudes, from Coney Island to Back Bay in Boston - and how to get away with it, broad-A accent and all. To the hard handed (and hard-headed) old Republican pros it is all astonishing. It is as though their startled eyes had suddenly fallen upon an incredible spectacle in which the most sheltered of all boys In the fanciest of all Lord Fauntleroy suits had suddenly turned upon the other side of town and was cheerfully must not be permitted to dictate to those of other knocking down the toughest faiths, or those of none. DUT we do not believe it follows that a con scientious Catholic candidate would submit to any dictation from his church on such mat ters, when they entered the area of government. Rather, because of the extra burden of respon sibility which he carries, as a candidate AND as a Catholic, we believe he would lean over back ward to avoid any color of succumbing to such influence. Discussiori of these questions is legitimate insofar as they are conducted on a rational, fac tual, unbigoted manner. Too often, however, rationality goes out the window when religion is brought up for discussion. It is rather odd, however, that all the re ligious issue" controversy has been aimed at Kennedy, and little or none at Nixon, for his Quaker upbringing which now seems to be mod ified by attendance at Methodist and Congrega tional churches. Be that as it may, we continue to believe that in the campaign of 10 religion is or should be an extraneous matter. E.A. How Much Help for Vets? Just how representative of-American veterans are the veterans organizations the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the other smaller ones? One measure is that of membership. There are today an estimated 22,500,000 U.S. living war veterans. And veterans organization mem bership totals about 4,000,000 or less than one fifth. The figures were brought up by Changing limes, the Kiphnger magazine, in which the question is also asked, "Is the veteran who got out of service unscathed entitled to a lifetime of help that is denied to non-veterans?" e (UR position is, and always has been, that the nation owes a great debt to veterans who were disabled in the nation's service, and to the survivors of those who were killed in service. To them it owes care, and a decent compen sation for their sacrifice and their loss. It also owes a short-term obligation to return ing veterans in the matter of readiustment and training an obligation exemplified by the G.I. Bill of Rights. Beyond that, service in the armed forces in time of war is a matter of patriotic performance of an obligation. It shouldn't be a free meal-ticket for life, as some veterans groups maintain. We imiiK uiai mosi veterans wouia agree. &.a. kids in the neighborhood. piAB" - as he is not known except to a few bold spirits who knew him when, that is, when he was in the Senate - is developing into the most unexpected personal suc cess of this political year. When, back at the G.O.P. convention, Richard M. Nixon picked Lodge as his running mate, many crusty Republican bosses murmured among themselves in unbelief: "What has got into Dick?" For when ever they had thought of Lodge at all they had pictured him as doing some doubtless necessary but surely dull double-dome Job up there at the U.N. He was a man with even , more striped pants in his closet than those fellows down at the state department. It was widely believed that Nixon had not actually taken leave of his senses, but that certainly he had taken a desperate gamble. Lodge, it was thought, would be useful, if at all, only as a rather aloof figure who had "stood up to the Russians" In the U.N. but who would hardly send the voters in Dubuque or Denver or Dallas. A NY notion of Cabot Lodge " campaigning In a city slum, before a factory gate or in a mldwestern corn field was enough to send the pros off Into sadly ironic laughter. The assumption, in short, was that Nixon had walked into an enormous calculated risk; he had accepted a run ning mate who might lo well with a relative handful of foreign policy sophisticates but would surely contribute little In that vast stretch run nlng from the Allcghcnics to just short of the Pacific Coast. The old pros were unaware, however, that here, as In all other Important political de cisions, Nixon had not moved without the advice of his slide rule. He had made private soundings before the conven tion. These had indicated to him - to the frank astonish ment of some top Nixon ad visers - that Lodge would run vastly better than anybody, Including Nixon, had thought. r' WAS discovered that a very large - and not a com paratively small - number of voters was familiar with Lodge's work in the U N., and really liked the U.N. What was not even then unearthed, however, was that, wholly apart from foreign matters, Lodge apparently had a cer tain political "it" that no body - least of all Henry Cabot Lodge - had suspected. This latter discovery has only come as Lodge has begun to amble about the country, his collar-ad face abeam and his long frame moving with equal ease over boardwalk or country club grounds. Most Republicans party workers in the beginning would have bet 3 to 1 that Lodge would be active only in a comparatively restricted area and only on the "peace" issue. Otherwise, he was Just going along for the ride. Now nobody would bet much that he won't wind up as the G.O.P. campaigning terror of the stockyards - along with the stock exchange. In politics you sure never can tell - can you? (Copyright, 19B0, by United Feature Syndicate-, Inc.) Russians Hit Berlin 'Button' in Cold War; Disagreements Span 10-Year Period By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign Editor In a push-button cold war, the Soviets apparently have punched the button labelled "Berlin.' The heat is on the divided city again in a move which seems more than coinci dental t i fri ed with Niklta K h rushchev ni-i-liral In. th. phil neu'so.m ope nlng ses sion of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Berlin is one of the oldest of the cold war problems. When Khrushchev step ashore from the Soviet ship Baltika in New York next week, it will be almost a year to the day since his last U.N appearance in which he de manded ."general and com p 1 e t e disarmament" within four years. It was also in September of last year, during a temporary cold war thaw, that President Eisenhower and Khrushchev announced in a joint commu nique they had agreed to re open negotiations on Berlin 'with a view to achieving solution ... in the interest of the maintenance of peace.' Into the Freezer That hope went back into the deep freeze at Paris last May. September anniversaries on the Berlin question go back at least 10 years, On Sept. 14, 19S0, the Unit ed States, Britain and France found it necessary to warn the Soviet Union that they would "treat any attack against the Federal Republic (of West Germany) or Berlin from any quarter as an attack upon themselves On Sept. 20, 1955, the So viets announced they were granting "sovereignty" to East Germany and turning over to the East Germans con trol of traffic to and from West Berlin, except for U.S British and French military personnel and freight.

In Brazil, for instance, it is entirely possible that the elec tion there will soon install another Castro - like govern ment, in another Latin Amer ican country more remote but vastly more important than Cuba. But there is no use enumerating all the danger spots. They now exist in every strategically significant region if y 1 ization of Am erican States, there was one reason which was as ugly as it was grimly revealing. The Ameri can policy makers con Joseph alsoF eluded that Costa Rica was the only Carib bean country the secretary of State of the United States could visit, except under the heaviest armed guard, with out serious risk of being mob bed, spat upon, stoned or oth erwise endangered or humili ated. All the other possible coun tries were either politically unsuitable, like the Domini can Republic. Or their govern ments were unable or unwill ing to control the Communists and non - Communist sympa thizers with Fidel Castro, who were organizing to protect the attempt to discipline Cuba at the OAS meeting. mUESE fads will no doubt be denied in mis election year, Just as some of the more unpleasant facts concerning the Japanese disinvitation of President Eisenhower were de nied. But they are facts, none theless. They give a fair meas ure of the progressive decline of American and western prestige, the spreading rot in foreign areas of key import ance to this country and the West, and the increasing con tempt for the United States that is being displayed by the Kremlin, in the form of bold er and bolder probing and trouble-making. Wise and realistic men. even within the Eisenhower admin istration, now agree that the three parallel processes above listed are reaching an acutely critical stage. The crisis is not advertised as such, because it is widespread and seeming ly disjointed. The news froii Cuba is not connected with the news from Laos. The ap palling news from the Congo is not connected with the in tensely disturbing news from Berlin. IN REALITY, however, there are close connections be tween the expulsion of the pro-American government in Laos, the establishment of a pro-Communist government in Cuba, the catastrophe that seems to impend in Leopold villc, and the arrogant East German threat to free Berlin. All arc part of the same pat tern. All are ultimately trace able to the American and western decline, the spreading of the globe The fault does not lie with Allen W. Dulles and his Cen tral Intelligence agency. No secret service can operate as an effective substitute for forceful national policy, which is what the CIA has been ex pected to do mHE fault does not lie, ei ther, with Secretary of State Christian R. Herter. The chickens of the earlier years are simply coming home to roost on the unlucky Herter's shoulders. Although the chick ens all look like vultures, they are not of Herter's breeding. They were bred, to begin with, by the complacent and Inadequate defense policies of the Eisenhower administra tion, persistently pursued since 1953. Any high school freshman knows that no ce plays offensive games with a boy who is both very strong and not a bully. The same rule holds true in the world as in school. Add Madison avenue policy making to 74 years of com placency about defense. Add slumberous inactivity in in ternational fire prevention ex cept when fires have openly broken out. You have the main reasons for the Ameri can and western decline, with out which the other two nox ious processes that are now at work all over the world would never have started at all. rPHERE is a melancholy con- A trast. In this resDect. be tween this election and the election that brought Presi dent Elsenhower to power. In 1952, the party then in office was blamed for every mishap and misfortune, from the loss of China downwards. In 1952, the late John Foster Dulles even assured the country that anyone who aid not believe the U. S. could "liberate" the nations under the Communist yoke was an Immoral, passive, perhaps subversive cynic. In 1960, however, the few people who want to face the facts of our greatly deterior ated national situation are ac cused of "selling America short." By the same token, wher Alger HUs was used as tabllshed the pattern which has been in effect ever since and is the key to today's de veloping emergency. Once again, by interference with Western traffic to West Berlin and by demanding spe cial passes for West Germans seeking to enter East Berlin, the Communists are attempt ing to assert their control over the entire city. But there is a difference, and perhaps a healthy one. The Allies have reminded Khrushchev and East Ger many that they too, can retal. late. The first step was to im pose restrictions on East Ger mans seeking travel to the West. The next might be a boycott on goods shipped to trade-hungry East Germany. ...Communications...

To the Editor: Your issue of Sept. 1 had a story in which spokesmen for Elmo Smith blamed "misinterpreta tion of election laws" for his failure to comply with the deadline for voters' pamphlet material. What misinterpretation' Secretary of State Appling said he issued five notices to candidates, the last on July 29, warning that the deadline was 5 p.m., Aug. 29. This seems a simple enough in struction. Smith's decision to go into court to make up for his snafu leads to only one conclusion either Elmo Smith or his Republican Secretary of State can t count to 70 backwards, the deadline date specified by the Nov. 8 election. Frank Christian Talent, Ore. Editor's note: The supreme court ruled that Smith s ma terial should be used. Tha Command to Teach To the Editor: Having read some of the letters in regards to the "preachers itch," we would like to add more. We enjoyed Mrs. Wyatt's letter regard to the command of Jesus (Matt. 10-8) about freely receiving and freely giving. Very few ministers keep this command due to their love for money. We find some are quick to reject the Bible to collect tithes due to this money love Yet, if they hope to be saved they will be required to keep the commandments. How many will reach heaven since they don't? It is the duty of each per son to preach and teach the Bible. What Jesus said to those disciples, He said to all, and to all nations, and every creature. If we do not warn others, God will require their blood at our hands. There is no respect of persons with the Lord. So we should uphold others for teaching God's word instead of condemning. We are commanded to ask God for our wisdom that way. No one is required to at tend a college for wisdom, since men's wisdom is enmity to God, and just-foolishness to God. Why? Because God s words are spiritually discerned. So the Holy Ghost is essential since our natural or carnal minds are enmity to God, and not subject to him. When one has this Holy Spirit as the Disciples had it, we need no man teach us, for this spirit will guide us into all truth. So why waste time and money for men's carnal-mind ed foolishness a n d preach contrary to the Bible because of it? Each one must keep the commands and teach ' and preach the Bible or else be lost. It is much less embar rassing to know what the Bible really says before we express ourselves. We are not Jesus friends even unless we keep his com mands, and only doing our duty when we do. It is impossible to keep the ommandments and not preach or teach. Mrs. G. C. Cunningham 748 Maple st. Central Point, Ore. No Dictation To the Editor: For egocen tric reasons, or reasons of tre mendous trifles, some people will vote for Richard Nixon for president of the United States, the same Richard Nix on who has helped in making motn-eaten policies for the last eight years, the policies that have eaten holes In the nation's economy. That man whose only claim to eminence is his "experi ence" in bickering with foreign potentate, whom he could convince of nothing The foreign potentate already knew far more than anything Nixon could reveal, the whole thing -staged for home con sumption. So Nixon should, they think, qualify for the presi dency simply by his effort at talking down communism, or by stalking the specter of communist dictatorship in government. While thus Nixon has been standing in the front door, high wide and handsome, lev eling blasts at his apparitions he has opened the back door wide to scores of giant merg ers, combines and super cor porations headed by virtual industrial dictators. Dictators of industry, who have plowed under the little fellow, and are in the process of plowing under, who are in firm command and not just an ogre of Nixon's imagina tion, they have handed down the decree, and with as much finality as any dictator in the world, that you as an em ployee are through-not to be hired at the age of 45. They have dictated you into the In dustrial ash can. What dicta tion could touch your life more devastatingly? Beyond his narrow scope, ideas Nixon has none, only his status quo, with the tide run ning backward. Already we have receded to a point where we need a Moses to lead. Kennedy has the wisdom the sagacity to lead up and forward, with the support of the people. As sure as it is true that no body wishes to be forcibly rel egated to the industrial scrap heap at any age, by anybody s dictation, they will help turn the tide with Kennedy. . Sulen Drangen 417 Lane st. Yreka, Calif. Question To the Editor: In a recent editorial on the campaign you say the religious issue Is false one. Let us see just how false. What church a can didate belongs to I see no rea son to care-save for the one church which has its supreme ruler (its Commande r-ln- chlef, so to speak) in a foreign country over which the U.S has no control. May even have for an enemy some day. Most Catholics have been raised from Infancy under the rules and teachings of the church. Taught to revere its priests, bishops, cardinals and, above all-its Popes. Do we expect "Smiling Jack" to disregard his obligations to his church and allow it no Influence on his Presidential acts? Jack is for federal aid to public education. What says his church? "The right of the Roman Catholic Church in the teaching of youth comes before the rights of the State." - Pope John XXIII, Scranton Tribune, Dec. 31, 1959. , And what of Catholic church influence on Jack's legislative, appointive and military activities? Remem ber he would be commander- in-chief of all the military forces of the U.S.A. "First- The Roman Catholic is to wield his vote for the purpose pretext for the charge that the whole American govern ment was riddled with Com munists, the much more dam- aging pair of defectors from the National Security agency are treated as Just a couple of mixed-up kids. . Among respectable and con servative persons, in short, a political double standard has now been accepted, with sin ister consequences for the na tional debate. As yet, Vice President Richard M. Nixon has not subscribed to this double standard. Tha most in teresting unanswered question of the campaign is whether he will or will not subscribe to it. (c) 19S0. New York Herald Tribune Inc. i of securing Catholic ascend any in this country (U.S.A.). Second-all legislation must be governed by the will of God, unerringly indicated by the Pope." Father Hecker, Catholic World. Of Jack's Senatorial record I know little. It has not been so outstanding as to have come to my attention. Most voters, I believe, will agree that his opponent has had more political experience than any vice president up to his time. There is a vast differ ence between qualities neces sary for senator and those for President of the U.S. A boat man capable of handling a skiff on the millpond is not necessarily qualified to pilot the big U.S. ship of state through the rough waters that now surround her. This is not religious preju dice. Were I the rankest of infidels I should be just as strongly opposed to a Catholic president. But suppose Jack ignored the wishes of his church. Would he be more loyal to his oath of office than his church vows? Ques tion. Jack Finel 3710 Hilsinger Rd. Medford, Ore. Editors' note: See comment in Editorial column. "It Doesn't Pay" To the Editor: Take my advice and read this, It's wrote as you will note, ao mai even you can understand, So now please don't rock tha boat. It's about a thing we should all know well, But we never give it much tnought, Most of us learn it the hard way As we are too stubborn and don't want to be taught. Now, an automobile Is a wonderful thing, How it runs when we give it tne gas, Whether we want it to go just slow, Or whether it be quite fast. But it's just like so many other things, It can easily be over done, We step on the gas when we are in no hurry, And we think it's a lot of fun. Sometimes we think, as wa see the wrecks All strewn along the road, But we forget it again as we speed along And we never seem to learn the code. But there's an old saying that all of us know. 'Every dog must have it's day." And when our turn comes and we are In that wreck, It will be too late, then, to know it doesn't pay. John P. Gascon, Route 1, Box 310-B, . Central Point, Ore.
