.Bapfists Seek
Ban in
Virginia Schools
Church and State
Separation Violated
Unit Says in Report

A ban on the Weekday Reli-
gious Education program, in
which more than $4,000 Virginia
school children participated last
year, is urged by the Baptist
General Association Of Virginia.
A report criticizing the pro-
gram as a violation of the prin-
ciple of separation of church
and state was approved by the
association yesterday. The or
lganization is conducting it's 1880
annual session in Alexandria
with nearly 1000 delegates at
tending.
The report, presented by a
special nine-member commission
of the association created last
year, contains sharp rebuke
for Baptist school, Oak Hill
Academy at Mouth of Wilson,
Va, for its use of public school
buses in transporting some of its
students and its acceptance of
public welfare funds for the sup
port of boarding students.
This commission regrets to
report that one Of our schools,
Oak Hill Academy is APP
lparently violating the principles
of separation of church and
state in at least two instances"
the report declared.
Hopes for Correction
"Your commission deplores
this situation and trusts that it
will soon be corrected"
The commission reported that
the Weekday Religious Educa-
ton program, sponsored by the
Virginia Council of Churches.
has gained wide acceptance in
Virginia. In 1855. it was re-
ported. Al counties and 1858
school communities conducted
the classes for $3.50 students.
Questionnaires sent by the
commission to these communities
reveal that, of those answering,
all hold the religious instruction
classes during regular class
hours except Arlington County.
Only Charlottesville, of all the
communities responding. re-
ported that the religious classes
are not held in school build
ingS.
Salaries for teachers in the
religious classes. held once a
week, are paid from funds raised
by local groups supporting the
program in all communities ex-
cept TazewelI County, where the
religious instruction course was
made part of the high school
curriculum and credits are given
for completion of the course.
The recommendation of the
commission; adopted with the
report. was that the organiza-
ton oppose religious instruc-
ton in the free public schools"
Further Study Voted
The commissions recon-
mendation that a standing COM
mittee be appointed to continue
studying the problem of "reli-
gious liberty" also was adopted.

Barley Death
|5ths Kentucky
Political Feud
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The death of Senator Alben
Nv. Barkley--one of the most
loved public figures in Kentucky
and the Nation-is stirring the
political situation in the Blue
grass State in a big way.
| The problem for the feuding
tDemocrats-already engaged in
a battle for the Senate seat now
held by Senator Earle C. Glenn
ents-is the nomination of a
candidate for the Barley seat.
Under the law the candidates
for the general election next No
vember are to be nominated in a
May 20 primary. The filing date
deadline for candidates partici-
pating in that primary was April
4. So the Democratic State Ex-
ecutive Committee will have the
task of selecting the party NOM
linee for the Barley seat.
Senator Clements and former
Gov. Wetherby and their friends
control the committeeman will
until a new committee is elected
Gov. A. B. Happy Chandler
who defeated the Clements
Wetherby organization last year
and thereby made a triumphant
political comeback, is backing
former Representative Joe B
Bates in his race for the sena-
torial nomination against SEN
ator Clements.
Term Has 4 Years to Go
The Governor will name a Sem
ator to fill the vacancy caused
by Senator Barkley's death, prob
ably soon after the funeral, to
serve until a new Senator is
elected in November. Ordinarily
the man picked by Gov. Chandler
would receive the party nominal
ton, either in primary or-as
in this case-at the hands of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee. The Barley term has
4 years and 8 months to run.
One thing can be stated with
positiveness: Gov. Chandler has
no intention whatever of resign
ing and having himself appointed
to the Senate. He plans to stay
on as governor until the end of
his term-unless lightning should
strike and he be given a place
on the 1856 Democratic national
ticket. Even then, he would not
resign as Governor unless the
Democrats win the presidential
election next fall.
1t is possible that Gov.
Chambers appointee for the
Barley vacancy will be &C
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-01

ceptable to Senator Clements
and Mr.. Wetherby, and they
would agree to his nomination
by the State Central Committee.
Two men who have already been
mentioned as possible Chandler
appointees might fill such a bill
Joseph J. Leary, Frankfort
attorney and Gov. Chambers
campaign manager last year.
and William F. Foster. Mayfield
clothing manufacturer. Both of
them have been friends of Sen
ator Clements in the past.
Others who might be appointed
INCLUDE Clifford Smith, Mr..
Leary's law partner, and Rob-
ert Humphreys, State highway
commissioner and State Central
Committee chairman.
Fight Might Be Intensified
Should Senator Clements and
his friends on the State central
committee turn thumbs down on
the governors appointee and
name some one else to run for
the Barley seat, the fight in
Democratic ranks would be in
tensifidd acknowledgement Sen
Iator Clements himself might suf-
fer thereby. There are plenty
of Democrats in the State who
say today that Senator Clements
will have a tough time defeating
Mr.. Bates, as it is.
A suggestion has been made
that if Gov. Chandler cannot get
an agreement from the State
central executive committee to
nominate his appointee for the
Barley seat, the governor will
call a special session of the
legislature and seek a law provid-
ing for a special election of a
Senator and providing for pri-
mary nominations. This, how
ever, is regarded as a last re-
sort.
Kentucky Democrats face an
other problem. made more seri-
Gus by the death of Senator
Barley. They may have a real
fight on their hands when they
meet the Republicans in the gen.
eral election for both Senate
seats and for the presidential
electoral votes for the State.
Fur Could Fly
If the Republican ticket should
be Mr.. Eisenhower for President,
former Representative Thruston
Morton for the Clements seat
and Ambassador John Sherman
Cooper for the Barley seat, the
fur will fly. Mr.. Eisenhower lost
Kentucky to Adlai Stevenson
four years ago by only TOO votes
Mr.. Cooper was elected to the
Senate, and Mr.. Morton could
undoubtedly have been re-
elected to the House had he been
! willing to run again.

the Democrats would re-elect
their leader. This they did post
haste, and in a short time har-
mony was restored as Mr., Roose-
welt and Mr.. Barley exchanged
protestations of affection.
Nominated Roosevelt
Whatever temporary breach
might have stood between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Barley
was soon closed. At the Chicago
convention only a few months

This sealed even tighter the

banner selflessly. sometimes to

There was but one breach, a
if1are-up that gave Mr. Barley
new stature in the eyes of his

admiration of many Republicans,

Roosevelt vetoed-in another
