Kennedy To Be
Target of Drive
By Protestants
New York - (DPI) - American
voters faced a warning today
that an all-out anti-Catholic
hate campaign will be turned
loose on the nation eight days
before election day in an ef
fort to keep Sen. John F,
Kennedy from being elected
president. ,
"In every election cursed by
dirty campaigning, the worst
lies , always appear , at the
last minute,"- said Bruce L.
Felknor, executive director of
the Fair Campaign Practices
Committee.
While Felknor's warning
was issued in a Bedford Vil
lage, N. Y., Presbyterian
church Sunday, the Rev. Dr.
Carl J. Giers, pastor of the
Tre meont Temple Baptist
church in Boston, New Eng-
1 a n d's largest Protestant
church, said that a Catholic
president would not fulfill his
oath of office if to do so
would be sinful.
Oath Said Not Binding
Giers, preaching in Kenne
dys home city, said a Cath
olic textbook which he did
not identify taught that
promise under oath ' to do
something - sinful does not
bind at all." Giers added:
Anything against the dic
tates of the church is a sin."
Another Baptist preacher,
the Rev. William Ward Ayer,
said from the pulpit of a New
York church that "It is not
bigotry to question the reli
gion of any man where his
religion would interfere in
any way with the constitu
tion."
Ayer, a radio evangelist
whose program was discon
tinued by a metropolitan
New York station, said in
a sermon entitled "America
- Stay Protestan or Perish"
that if Protestantism died in
the United States,- the Bible
would be "prohibited and
books would be burned. He
said Protestants should "stand
for the liberty Christ has giv
en us" in casting their elec
tion vote.
Plans Said Under Way
Felknor said that the cam
paign to keep Kennedy, a
Democrat and a Roman Cath
olic, out of the White House,
will be stepped up by anti
Catholics on R e f ormation
Sunday, Oct. 30.
For months now plans
have been under way on two
levels to turn Reformation
Sunday into a gigantic anti
Kennedy rally," he said.
"One level Is an interdenom
inational Association of Fun
damentalists Churches. The
other is an amalgam of hate-
mongers and bigots."

Oregon's political candi
dates today opened their last
three weeks of campaigning
before the Nov. 8 election.
Mrs. Maurine Neuberger
and Elmo Smith, candidates
for the U.S. Senate, both ap
peared in McMinnville today,
but separately. Smith, the
GOP candidate, spoke at Lin-
field College, after touring
the Sheridan-Willamina area
and Mrs. Neuberger, the Dem
ocratic candidate, spoke at
noon to the Chamber of Com
merce.
Joint Appearances
The two candidates have
scheduled joint appearances
at a Kiwanis luncheon in Eu
gene Wednesday, at a candi
dates' fair , that night in
Grants Pass and at Medford
Thursday evening at another
candidates fair.
Mrs. Neuberger said in
Portland Sunday that "only
deeds, not words, can main
tain America's image in for
eign lands as a country dedi
cated to a free and open soci
ety." She spoke at a meeting
of the National Polish Alli
ance.
Sen. Estes : Kefauver, (D-
Tenn.), the 1956 Democratic
vice presidential nominee,
will speak Tuesday night in
Pendleton and appear in Bend
and Redmond Wednesday.
Appling-Sweeiland Appear
Howell Appling Jr., the Re
publican secretary of state,
appeared on the same ' plat
form Sunday night with
State Sen. Monroe Sweetland,
his Democratic rival, at a
YMCA public forum in Port
land. .'
Sweetland said voters
should "beware the candidate
who tells them only what he
thinks they would like to
hear." He said "the easiest
thing for a candidate to say
is that he favors lower taxes.
Everyone favors lower taxes.
It is the honest and cour
ageous candidate who will ex
plain what our times demand
and what we must do to sun-
vive. To do less is to engage
in campaign oratory designed
to capture votes of the ignor
ant and uninformed."
Appling defended his rec
ord in office and said use of
an accumulated $35 million
surplus would be a "giant
step" toward solution of Or
egon's tax problem. He en
dorsed a proposal by Gov.
Mark Hatfield that accumu
lated savings be used to in
crease the state's ! contribu
tion to local school support
and help reduce local proper
ty taxes. He said innovations
brought about under his ad
ministration have made state
programs more effective and
more economical.
