THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1962 Freedom From and Freedom To The controversial Supreme Court decision, which banned the use of an officially-prescribed prayer in school classrooms, has been widely de plored as being a move toward eliminating re ligion entirely from public life. We do not view it this way. We do not believe that it could, for instance, be construed as ban ning such things as religious songs sung by choral groups, or Christmas programs, or other such manifestations in which religion plays a central role. There is a distinction here, and the distinction is found in the First Amendment to the Constitu tion itself, on which the decision was based. QF religion the First Ammendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..." The school prayer, being officially prescribed and imposed on school children, was in effect an "establishment" of religion. But school programs, whether or not they have a religious theme, are not classroom exer cises. No one is forced to participate. No one is forced to attend. In most instances they do not involve expenditures of tax funds. This, it seems to us, religion, and should be just as strongly protected by the Constitution as is a student's right, in a compulsory classroom,' to be protected from "of ficial" prayers which may or religious behels. "INE aspect of the Amendment is negative ; the other is positive. Both are equally important. The school prayer ruling, it seems to us, has been widely misinterpreted. It does NU1 enjoin all mention of God from enjoin is an official, state-written prayer. Many dedicated Christians can object to this, if on no other grounds than that found in VI Matthew 5 : "... when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who Is In secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." (RSV) This, from Jesus Himself, hardly jibes with the rote-recitation by uninterested and uninspired students of an innocuous, not to say vapid, officially-prescribed prayer, under the leadership of a teacher who may or may not be interested. rESPITE the concurring opinion of Mr. Justice Douglas, the ruling decision does not take God out of American official life, nor even out of the schools. Voluntary "free exercise" of religion is a far different thing, and to our mind far more vivid and meaningful, than an officially-imposed prayer. ' Some of our greatest music, painting and drama is religion-centered, as are our Thanks giving and Christmas celebrations, for Christians, and other feast days and holy clays, for other religions. They are all part of the tradition of this varied, divergent and multiform nation so long as their observance is freely voluntary, and im posed on no one. npiIIS, it seems to us, is the dividing line between "establishment" and "free exercise." And, in a nation where more than a third of the populace has no church affiliation, and the rest are splintered into hundreds of denomina tions, seels, churches, and religions, "free ex ercise" of religion can have no other meaning than to include the freedom to abstain from re ligion and religious observances. Freedom includes "freedom from" as well as "freedom to." One without the other is incom plete. And the writers of the First Amendment, with great wisdom, insured that Americans will continue to have both. E. A.

Earlier this year, upon his induction as Rector of St. Andrews University in Scotland, he ad dressed his remarks to the topic of Magnanimity. (It is, incidentally, one of the finest brief state ments of contemporary we have read recently. Harper s. ) In the course of his remarks, he said : "...

This is the kev to our violent distaste for the "Anti-This" and' "Anti-That" Crusades, the "Impeach So-and-So" and "Recall Sueh-and-Such" movements. Sir Charles concluded by saying: i "...

Farida remembers only her English-born mother telling her that no matter what she might see happen to her Mos lem father, she was not to cry out nor even admit that he was her father. Her own life would be at stake. Along with some 9 million other Moslems, her family fled penniless to Pakistan where eventually they settled in the ancient city of Lahore, recently visited by Mrs. Jac queline Kennedy.

It has been said of Pakis tan that it is a nation held together by religion and an airline. Divided Pakistan lies on either side of India, separated by more than 1,000 miles. The government-owned Pak istan International Airlines provides the link. It flies everything from DC-3's to the latest jets and is bringing a new way of life to isolated communities of Pakistan, some of which once were accessible only by footpath. An example is the mountain-locked city of Chitral, 219 miles north of Peshawar at the mouth of the Khyber pass in west Pakistan. A road barely passable by automobile ran 161 miles north from Peshawar and then was broken by 20 miles of footpath. The latter stretch again was passable by car but the trip took two to three days. PIA now covers it in 45 minutes. Regular flights from Dacca in east Pakistan to Karachi in the west carry perishable goods which otherwise would take a week by ship. The line is President Ayub's not-so-secret weapon for uni fying the vastly different cul tures of the two wings of Pakistan, which speak differ ent languages, live in differ ent climates and surroundings and are bound together only by religion.

Stop Me TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD, OREGON Vlaffer of Fact c) New York Herald ON MOSS GARDENING Washington - Leisure, one is told, is the big new thing in American life. A professor has written a book rather strongly a p proving leis ure. Maga zines are de voting sec tions to leis ure and its uses, some of which seem to be very odd But if you are an old-fashioned American, dedicated to productive toil and suspicious of easy going 'eisure, a way out can still be recommended to you. Start a moss garden. As far as can be discover ed, the experiment is a novel one in this country. A learn ed Japanese, writing on moss gardening for a recent Jour nal of Economic Botany, was unable to find a record of more than one American moss garden. It flourished on one of the great Long Island es tates of the 1920s, and it Drob- ably dried up pretty rapidly, which is fatal for moss gar dens, after tne stock market crash of 1929. VET ignorance and neces- suy, in comoination. are great promoters of experimen tation. In this case, moreover. the spur of necessity and the uianess or ignorance were reinforced by the prod of memory. The most memorably beautiful garden in the world, and one of the oldest, beyond doubt, belongs to the Moss Temple outside Kyoto. Sure ly art and nature together have never contrived anything to surpass that carpet of a hundred different mosses. glowing in the green shade of the great trees, masking the water-lapped rocks, even creeping up the sun-flecked hillside. Between the Moss Temple's immemorial glades, and a sunless, airless pit about 10 by 18 feet, there was only one connection, but that a strong one. On the architect's blueprints, the pit had been optimistically described as a "planting area," but if plant ed, very little seemed likely to grow there except moss. The questions remained, how to get moss, and once got, how to plant it. These questions were brisk ly answered by Mrs. Donald, the single-handed creator of the fern valley at the Nation al Arboretum. You get moss, it turns out, by going into the countryside and digging it up. And you plant it, with wide ly varying results, by prepar ing the kind of soil that is bos tile to most other kinds of growth; by muddying the soil's surface . to an almost soupy consistency; and by pat ting the moss-clumps into this semi-soup. After that, you hope for the best. TN a moss garden, to be sure, - you need something more than moss; but where moss is comfortable, the plants of the American woodlands are pret- Communications Letters to the Editor must bear -'he name and address ot the writer although undci ,-er tain circumstances the use ot a fcn name ui initial for nubllea lon is permissible The Mall Tribune reserves the ripht to edit all letters with an eye to clarlticatloi. and condensation Letters suhmltten for publica tion must not exceed 400 words It's Time Again ' To the Editor: Sir. why should the people of Oregon fall in step with others, when they feel that it is definitely the others who are out of step?

The wild azalea for high growth; blood root and trout-lily, oconee bells, solomn's seal, and hep atica for the mid-level; and partridge berry and winter green to interpentrate the moss-carpet - all these are at home with mosses. So are the ferns, in all their wonderful variety, from the lordly royal fern to the Infinitely delicate maidenhair spleenwort. For a moss-garden, finally, you need a place like that pit of a "planting area" which will never become a passage way for large, carelessly trampling feet. And you need a sprinkler system, to give yeur mosses 10 or 15 minutes of misty spray on every sec ond day, except in wet weath er. These practical require ments were easy to meet; and the rest was done with the help of Mrs. Donald. The result, it must be add ed, is remarkably unlike the marvel of the Moss Temple. It lacks majesty and mystery. It is neither splendid nor ro mantic. It is a garden to be looked at inch by inch, like those dish gardens nature- minded children used to make, in the old days when children did other things be sides look at television. IN FACT, the first thing that a beginning moss gardener discovers is that his experi ment positively demands to be looked at inch by inch, and al most every day. The point is that weeds arc just as eager to flourish among mosses as anywhere else. Furthermore, if a weed seedling attains more than microscopic size, it cannot be extracted without bringing with it a large chunk of the moss carpet. Hence a serious moss garden er's almost permanent posture is a deep crouch. And this is why moss gardening is an easy way out, if you are threaten ed with an excess of easy-going-leisure. All the same, the rewards can be considerable. After a shriveled-looking start, that moss which grew in emerald green-velvet clumps along a shady stream-side regains its true emerald velvetyness. That other moss, which re sembles a heavy blue-green plush, begins to be at home beneath the maidenhair spleenwort's fragile fronds. The moss carpet, in sum, be gins to form. And so you be gin to feel you have accom plished something not often accomplished, except in Jap an, where moss gardeners ate numerous enough to gather in clubs, to share their hobby with many a gentle, enthusi astic hiss. Good Luck to them! In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This is written on July 3. Today's big question: What shall we do tomor row? APPROPRIATE thought for today: One hundred eighty six years ago this evening, our ancestors were getting ready to declare their intention to dissolve the political bands which had connected them with another country, "and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them." The next day, they made their declaration. Having made it, they closed it with these ringing words: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutu allv pledge to each other OUR LIVES. OUR FORTUNES AND OUR SACRED HON OR." V HAVE many problems in these days. Perhaps if we approached them in the same spirit in w h I c h our ancestors ap- proached their Declaration of Independence we would be more apt to find a satisfactory solution of them. IROM Algiers: France formally proclaim ed Algeria an INDEPEN DENT state, ending 132 years of French rule over this sprawling northwest African territory. The proclamation stated 'The President of the French Republic declares that France recognizes sol emnly the independence of Algeria." IT SOUNDS wonderful doesn't it? But listen: r S disr'ch S f rodan0tion mm of t of j a Udall's Timing of Mountain Sheep Proposal Surprises By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington (Special) The most surprising thing about Secretary ol the Interior Stewart Udall's pro posal for fed eral construc tion of H 1 g h Mountain Sheep dam on t h e Oregon Idaho border was his tim ing. His proposal may become an important election cam paign issue this fall but it is not an issue eagerly sought by Pacific Northwest Democrats who are up for re election.

PERSONAL PREJUDICES Nobody is more surely or swiftly corrupted by bad com pany than the man who in sists he lives for himself; a person who imagines he can be self-sufficient soon be comes as poisoned as a stag nant pool. How can we expect to decrease the homicide rate on the highways when the bulk of motorists don't even know left from right, and keep using their left-turn flicker for right turns, and vice versa? Whenever I hear a man say, "It's not the money, it's the principle of the thing," I quickly reach to see if my wallet is still there. When we quit our vices, out of exhaustion or fear, we flatter ourselves that we have risen above them -but, in such cases, we have simply sunk beneath them. A m e r i c a's emancipation from the mother-country was political and economic, but not social or personal: and any man with a well-modulated British accent can still undo the American woman. The man who thinks he can't be fooled is the most easily iaken-jusi as the mark of the expert poker player is his willingness to be bluffed. What a magnificent chance the stale of Israel muffed by executing Eichmann instead of following God's first ex ample and branding him with the mark of Cain on his fore head and setting him loose to wander through the earth. One of the reasons that men behave politically so much worse than they ever would personally was suc cinctly expressed by Rich ard Whately, the English theologian, two centuries ago, when he saidt "Parly spirit enlists & man's vir tues in the cause of his vices," Wives who tell their hus bands everything that hap pened to them before they were married are neither can did or honest, but simply foolish; for a husband does not readily forgive a wife for having committed those trans gressions he would have urg ed upon her had he been with her at the time. "Freedom" is the most fu tile and meaningless slogan for any group to campaign under, for everybody be lieves in freedom-the des pot most of all, who loves freedom so much that he wants every bit of it for himself, with none left over for the rest. Men in their 30s who arc still "pursuing" their studies will never overtake them. independence goes on to say: "Even as the proclamation was made by French Presi dent Charles De Gaulle in Paris a POWER struggle be j tween the pro-leftist and mo- derate Algerian nationalist leaders threatened to plunge the new-born nation INTO BLOODY CIVIL WAR." THIS STRUGGLE POWER' FOR What harm it has wrought since the world began! "E TALK of sending a man ' to the moon - perhaps within this decade. We speak cas olly of inter spac9,l travel within the con ceivable future. There seems to be no prob lem that we regard as unsolv able. lVOULDN'T it be wonderful "if we could learn how to banish this STRUGGLE FOR i POWER that so often since . the bemnning of recorded his- i iry has wrecked men nihil the old foreign policy rule for the campaign: that partisan politics stops at the water's edge. ; In this case the water is the turbulent Snake river as it flows past several magnificent dam sites below Hells Canyon, focal point of many past elec tion arguments concerning public vs. private power de velopment. The Hells Canyon matter was won by the Re publicans and Idaho Power company during the Eisen hower Administration, and lost by the congressional Dem ocrats who favored federal construction of a high dam. Sen. Frank Church (D-Ida-ho) was elected in 1956 as a staunch champion of a federal Hells Canyon dam. This year, seeking reelection, he greet ed Udall's proposal for feder al construction of Mountain Sheep dam with a delicately, worded non-committal state ment which ventured nothing more bold than the observa tion: "It seems clear that the Nez Perce dam on the Middle Snake river below the mouth of the Salmon should not be licensed for construction at this time, since the fish pas sage problem has not been solved." Church said the Fed eral Power commission would have to decide whether Moun tain Sheep dam should ba built as a federal or non-fed eral project. 1 Sore at Udall 1 Northwest lawmakers 'are caught in someone's fire no matter which way they move. The public power organiza tions are sore at Udall for say ing Nez Perce -dam threatens fish when they have been try ing to sell the FPC and the people of the Northwest on the idea that new fish facili ties will take care of all that. The private power companies re sore at Udall because they've InvesUd great sums in their effort to build Moun tain Sheep as a private multi purpose dam. The organized conservationists are opposed to the Nez Perce, but Udall's backstage efforts to line them up in favor of Mountain Sheep have not noticeably succeed ed. Rep. AI Ullman (D-Ore,"), who was elected to Congress also in 19S6 as a Hells Canyon champion, boldly supported Udall's position. Since his eastern Oregon district bor ders on the Snake river, his reelection campaign is most apt to feel any impact this controversy may have this fall. Pacific Power and Light company, one of four utilities which wants to share in build ing Mountain Sheep dam, is strong in Ullman's district. . I have consistently sup ported private development where single purpose needs are met but have by the same token believed that where broad multiple uses are in volved in the key sites on the mainstem of the Snake and the Columbia, the public in terest is better served by public instruction," said Ull man. This site involves ma jor storage capacity to ba utilized for flood control and for downstream power needs. It would appear to better serve the region and the na tion through public construc tion." Declaration Unique ; Ullman's declaration of sup port was unique. Nine years ago Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay, standing be hind the same prs confer ence table used by Udall last week, announced he was with drawing the government's pro posal for federal Hells Canyon dam and immediately there were cries of anguish and joy (respectively from Democfats and Republicans) in Congress. Udall's announcement drew thunders of silence by com parison from the floor of Con gress. Congressman Ullman was the exception in the House. The immediate exception in the Senate was Sen. Maur ine Neuberger (D-Ore), who sent Udall a letter approving his position. Her late husband was elected in 1954 as a harsh critic of the GOP "partner ship" power policy of encour aging local utilities. Mrg. Neuberger indicated a similar attitude in writing Udall: - "Valuable public property is involved in this particular undeveloped portion of the Columbia Basin. Indeed, the water storage, flood control ar.d power benefits in the Middle Snake live a magni tude equal to those of the Hells Canyon section, which a previous commission waste fully licensed for less-than-full development. We can ill afford to lightly dispose Of the balance of the Middle Snake's great potential." If Udall's proposal is fo succeed, it will take a good deal more support on Capitol Hill than was evident when ! he made his announcement.
