Protestants Praise
Stevenson S Stand :
On Vatican Envoy
BY the Associated Press

The spokesman for a Protestant
group yesterday praised Gov. Adlai
Stevenson's stand against sending
"a United States Ambassador to the
Vatican, but said he should also
oppose appointment Of any spe-
cial representative to Rome.
Glenn L. Archer, executive di-
rector of Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separation
of Church and State, said the
Democratic presidential nominee
should re-examine his position.
Gov. Stevenson told a news con-
ference Monday that appointment
|of an ambassador would be a de-
parture from the principle OF
church and state separation. But
he said he saw no great disad-
vantage" to presidential appoint
!ment of a special representative
Ia post Myron Taylor held for. sew
leral years under the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
MIR. Archer said President Tru.
mans appointment Of Gen. MARI
Clark as Ambassador to the Vati.
can last year-later withdrawn al
Gen. Clark's request after WIDE
spread public protest-demon.
strated that sentiment in thi'
country is against any envoy Il
Rome under any title.
1.-THE designation Of persona
representative with the ranl
of ambassador was Originally
conceived as a device for keeping
the appointment outside of the
official cognizance Of United States
Senators and the people they rep.
resent" Mr.. Archer said in 9
statement. "At the same time Il
gave tacit recognition to the Vati-
can church-state.
president Truman'S move las
year at least had the merit O.
forthrightness. Now that the is
sue has at last been brought out
into the open, the American peo'
pie will not tolerate a return tt
old subterfuges."
Mr.. Archer said Gov. Steven
son may find himself standing
on a bushel Of eels' unless he take.
a second look at the picture"

Democrats retorted that the
South Dakota Senator had every
thing wrong except the price.
The White House said there's no
Government telephone connection
between the Executive Mansion
and Springfield.
And the Democratic National
Committee said: There is no such
direct line. Period"
The National Committee itself
does have a direct line to Spring.

Could President Truman pick up
his Office phone and talk with
Springfield on the National Com
mittee's line?
He certainly could. said q Ma
tional Committee spokesman, and
so could anybody else-assuming
the committee was willing to let
the caller use its line.
