Baptist Churchman Sees
Double Threat 10 Democracy

Democracy's fundamentals are
being attacked from two main
quarters, communism and Roman
Catholicism, DR.. Joseph M. Daw-
son, Baptist churchman, said at
a liberty rally at the Wesley
Methodist Church last night.
The appearance Of DR.. Dawson.
executive director Of the Baptist
Joint Conference Committee on

by the Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separation,
of Church and State.
DR.. Dawson said communism S
assaults are doomed to failure 50
long as America maintains a just
social order, offering to men "the
utmost In the democratic virtues" "
Roman Catholicism also ear
nestly seeks the capture of Amer
lea in the hope that this will be-
come neither the Communist Gen.
tury nor the democratic century,
but the Catholic century," he
added.
His views Of Catholic aims have
become more pronounced In the
three years Of his residence in
Washington. DR.. Dawson said.
Here he has observed efforts of
the church ito place Catholics in
key positions such as Congress"
and a vast setup for "pressuring
and propagandizing."

Just what emergency action the
Government will take II the new

the airing Of the dispute before a

it was held questionable whether
