Urge D. {. Primary
For Naming Delegate,

Supporters of Gen. Eisenhower
revealed today that they will try
to change the system of selecting
District delegates to the RepubIi-
can national convention. :
Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent of the local Ike-for President
club, said his group wants to give
Republican voters in Washington
a more direct say in selecting the
six delegates the District will send
to the national convention.
Mr. Mclaughlin wants all these
delegates to support Gen. Eisen-
hover for the COP. presidential
nomination. He feels that unless
the people get to express their
choice in a kind of primary elec-
ton here. the Districts delegates
may wind up voting for Senator
Robert A. Taft Of Ohio, the 'front.'

Mr.. McLaughlin's campaign

Ordinarily. the District sends un-

This keeps District Republicans

The Yugoslav charges. voiced by

In this connection, II QuottdldHo

State Aid To Catholic Schools
Held Constitutional By PreIate
Archbishop Muench Claims Financial Grants Nav Be
Given To Parents Associations

FARGO, y. d. - (NC) - Gov
ernment aid for parochial schools
is possible without infringing on
the American principle OF Church
State separation.
This is the contention made by
Archbishop Aloisius J. Mueneh,
Bishop of Fargo, who is at present
serving as Papal Nuncio to Ger
many.
Writing in Catholic Action News.
monthly organ of the Fargo Dio-
cese, Archbishop Muench pointed
out that in a grave governmental
crisis last year. France found so
luton to the problem of aid TO
church schools by providing finan-
cial grants, not TO private schools
or pupils. nor even to parents as
individuals, but TO associations of
parents"
This m e h o - Archbishop
Muench declared recalls the one
in vogue in our country till nearly
the middle of the last century. In
the first five decades of our Re
public, tax money was given to
school societies that maintained
private schools. For the most part
these were Protestant.
mo cry OF separation Of Church
and State was raised. Ii such
school societies were again organ
lied - parental associations after
the pattern of France-four types
of government-supported schools
could be formed: Protestant, Cath
olic, Jewish, and neutral.
Archbishop Mueneh said that
practical difficulties might be en-
countered in some parts of the
country, but these could be sur
mounted.
Americans are not lacking in in
genuity," he said, especially if fair
play guides their thinking and
planning. There need be but the
will to find the way. Let the pro
posaI be studied in the interest of
an education due TO our youth, IN
Justice TO our American parents,
for the preservation OF our Chris
tian heritage and our cherished de
mocracy." Archbishop Muench said
that the injustice of penallzing
Catholics and ProtestantS in the
United States, who must maintain
their own schools in order to as
sure a religious education for their
children. is recognized by all fair
thinking persons. =
THE injustice looms up all the
blacker," he said, in the light OF
what some countries have done to
be fair to parents. Ireland, Hol-
land. Luxembourg, and Scotland,
especially, shine forth as exemplars
of justice, granting public funds TO
all schools equally.
'In Ireland. for instance, the law
provides that wherever there are
as few as ten Protestant children,
the authorities must provide a
