their own desires and con-
victions are sharply opposed.
New Jersey is one State
where highway retail outlets
abound. selling over 500 mil
lion Of goods q year. Public
opposition to Sunday sale in
these outlets led TO a series OF
legal steps and maneuvers
that eliminated this month
in q Superior Court decision
permitting their continuation.
More precisely, the court
overruled a State law barring
such sales. The court found
the statute unconstitutional
because it did not rule out
all Sunday sales. Exempted
were certain seaside counties.
The court held this to be
discriminatory and unfair.
1t did, however. leave the way
open to local control under
New Jerseys Home Rule Act.
Whether local control will
work remains to be seen.
In the neighboring State Of
New York. the Nassau County
Nurserymen's Association is
complaining about the un-
fortunate effects Of Sunday
sales limitation in that area.
Regulations permit sale of live
flowers, shrubs, and ever
green trees while prohibiting
sale of grass seed. peat moss,
fertilizer and garden tools.
NurSerymen claim that this is
like permitting a drugstore to
sell penicillin while prevent
ing it from providing instruc-
tions or implements for ad-
ministering the pencillin.

anything to do so I took our
tools next door and cleaned
up the neighbor's yard. They
are two old people and he is
lame and she works out. He
came out on his crutches and
made me take 50. Abby, L
didn't want the 50. He said
he would be mad at me if I
didn't take 1t. SO / had to take
it. 1t took all the fun out of
doing it for me. Do you think
I should go back and try to
get him to take his 81?
CUB SCOUT.
Keep the 81. His "pride"
might suffer IL you tried to
return It. Just keep right on
doing those nice things for
people who can't do for them
selves and I predict q very
happy life for you. Bless you,
Sonny.
DEAR ABBY: I met man
at work and we fell in love at
first sight you might say. He
says he has no family or
friends and doesn't like to talk
about his past. l am 20 and
have been on my own for four
years, but I don't have much
experience with men. I live
with my grandparents and
work at a factory. This man
Is handsome and treats me
nice but he seems to have
come from out of nowhere.
Do you think his past is i'm

NOT EXPERIENCED.
A mans past is very i'm
p0rtant = especially If he
doesn't like to talk about it.
People who seem to have

DEAR ABBY: 1 am a young
widow who has a nice business
which my husband left me.
All my friends warn me to
watch out for men who are
interested in marrying me for
my money. l have met a few
men who seem interested in
me for myself, but how can
you tell? My friends say it
would be foolish of me to
waste my time with a man
who has less in assets than l
have. / can't ask a man for
an accounting of his assets,
can I? I know one man in
particular whom I suspect
doesn't have as much as I
have, but I like him. ] am
lonesome, but don't have to
buy a man yet. What is a
woman in my position sup
posed to do? STELLA.
Look for q man who is de-
cent, treats you right and is
good company. If you reach
the point in your relationship
where marriage is discussed,
lay your cards on the table
and ask him to do likewise.
If he couldn't possibly marry
you without your money, then
you can safely assume that
'y0ur assets" created his urge

supposing Senator Kennedy
ran ahead Of all other as
pirants for the Democratic
presidential nomination and
went to the national conven-
tion with about 500 delegates
votes, and nevertheless was
turned down-would this stir
resentment among Catholics
who might feel the Massa-
ohusettS Senator was being
brushed aside because Of his
religion?
This is the question which
Senator Kennedy, himself,
now is reported to have dis
cuSsed in conferences with
political leaders in Pittsburgh.
He is known to have talked
about 1t among friends in
Washington. The story is that,
If he is defeated in the prima-
rieS of various States, he will
feel that such a decision
would be on its merits-the
greater popularity of other
candidates.
1t will be recalled that in
1924-when the famous con-
test at Madison Square Gar
den took place between Gov.
Al Smith Of New York and
William g, McAdoo, former
Secretary of the Treasury,
and there were more than 100
ballots before John w. Davis
was selected as a compromise
the feeling of many Smith
supporters was that religious
bias played a big part in. keep
ing the New York Governor
from getting the nomination.
This hurt the Democratic
Party in the election race that
followed and led to the over
whelming acceptance of AL
Smith as the candidate at
the convention In 1928.
One of the common mis-
conceptions prevalent then
as well as today is that the
Pope at Rome would regulate
the behavior Of an American
President who happened to
be a Catholic. 1t so happens
that Newsweek published an
article this week in which

the petals of a rose. It is, Of
course, hard on them when
reporters smile at their moral
indignation.
In Green Bay and Racine
today, Gov. Rockefeller was
attempting to uncover and
encourage some bases for
support should he decide to
enter the presidential pri-
mary here against Mr.. Nixon.
The old homeland of the
late Senator Joseph Nc
Carthy and isolationism
would present q problem to
him under any circum-
stances.
Still, the primary law by
which outsiders can enter
any primary they like is in
his favor. In an irony of his
tory, they would like to for
get Democrats crossed over
in just such a fashion to put
the late Senator Robert La
Toilette out of the running
so they would have-they
thought-a weaker opponent
in Mr.. Mccarthy.
The peace issue would al
most surely be Gov. Rocke-
feller's hardest problem. In
another foreign policy speech
in Milwaukee, he showed
again that he takes a much
tougher line against Russia
than the Eisenhower admin
istration is taking. But the
DeS Moines House election.
where a Republican has now
recaptured a Democratic seat
by running Eisenhower peace
against Agriculture Secre-
tary Ezra Taft Benson shows
how potent an issue 1t is.

The Mite Box and the Natives
View of Continent Called Obsolete

Ike has touched down in
North Africa.
But one wonders if the
American image has changed.
AS a child in Sunday school
] faithfully put pennies into
mite boxes so that the Bible
could be carried to "the
Africans" One Of my earliest
memories is Of hanging on
every word as a returned
missionary talked of the
nesr-naked black men and
women who came out of the
jungles for medicines and to
hear the saving word.
For most American adults
for a majority of the
middle-aged and older men
In the Congress who must
debate and vote on foreign
aid-the image Of Africa is
that of the mite box and the
natives"
It is difficult for us to
abandon images, even that
of our own Revolution. It is
one Of the marble and bronze
men on pedestals in halls Of
fame. It is George WASH
tngton, Jefferson, Patrick
Henry and the Declaration
of independence. It is con-
ventions Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution
with ribbons across their
bosoms passing resolutions
against the Supreme Court.
But the same forces which
shaped our own history have
never stopped. They now are
at work in Africa, Asia, Latin
America and all colonial
areas Of the world. Yet, it is
. fact we are reluctant to
accept because 1t disturbs us.
Nowhere are these forces

Inere appears to be some
thing more than meets the
eye in the present rumpus
at the NATO conference in
Paris. All Of a sudden we and
some Of our allies have dis
covered that the NATO al
lance is not as strong as it
Is supposed to be and that
the Soviet Union and her
satellites and allies really are
powerful.
Even those outside the in
innate circle Of the top COM
mand in Paris have known
these facts for years-in fact,
ever since the NATO coalition
was organized. The position Of
the Soviet military forces
alone, as was presented to
those attending the NATO
conference. is as follows: ITS
divisions, half Of them Ell
ther armored or motorized:
$50 submarines, two-thirds Of
them believed to be long,
range ocean-going, with the
possibility that the Russians
have developed their own
atomic-propelled submarines
also; and finally, upwards Of
$4,000 modern aircraft.
There are intelligence re-
ports indicating that the So
Wet Union has some 100
launching bases for their
ICBMs and IRBMs. There is
no actual possibility of verify
ing this last potential for
aggression. The reports indi-
cate furthermore that the So
Wet Union alone has 200 re-
serve divisions ready to move
within 80 days after initiation
OF hostilities. These have the
advantage over the free world
OF possessing full modern
equipment in storage, while
the allied forces, including
our own, do not have the ma

Kennedy Pondering Resentment Factor
Should He Lose Bid With Big Booking

Curtis g. Pepper, interviewed
the Rev. William A. Van Roo,
an American Jesuit who is
professor Of theology at the
Pontifieal Gregorian Univer-
sity in Rome. The text Of
the interview follows:
@. Would a Catholic In
the United States presidency
pose any problem to the
church?
"a. No.
@. How would the church
construe the allegiance Of an
American Catholic President2
"a. The church would re-
gard him as an American
citizen and official, bound by
a sacred duty to love and
serve his country, and to up
hold its laws in accordance
with his conscience. This is
a moral obligation on all
citizens and officials, and
there is nothing specifically
Catholic involved. Further
more, to answer what may be
implicit in this question, the
Catholic has no split allegi-
ance, no dual citizenship.
@. Would the church ex-
pect a Catholic President to
take doctrine into considera-
ton in his decisions?
"a. Taking doctrine here
to be religious moral teach
ing concerning the law Of
God, one must answer yes.
A Catholic President, or any
other President, must act in
accordance with his con-
science. For any man who
has q religion. this means
doing what he considers
right according to the law
Of God.
%. If there should be a
conflict between the Amer
ican public interest and
church dogma, which would
be considered paramount?
"a. The question seems to
me ambiguous. I understand
the conflict in the question
to be one Of conscience in the
hypothetical American Pres
ident. If this is the sense of
the question, then I believe it

sumption. There can be. no
such conflict Of conscience
in q Catholic or in any other
religious man. Why2 Let US
understand dogma here as
the revealed moral law Of
God. proposed by the church.
Secondly. let US suppose q
society in which men sin
cerely differ concerning that
law, interpreted differently
by various churches.
obviously, among such
men there can be q sharp
clash of opinion as to what
is the real American public
interest in q particular case.
But any man, Catholic or
not. must hold firmly that In
doing right according to his
conscience. he is serving the
best interest of his country.
Public debate and the
democratic process take for
granted such sincere Diff
ferences of opinion. 1t would
be absurd to identify one
opinion with American pub
lie interest and to insist that
a Catholic opposing such an
opinion for reasons of con-
science is simply in conflict
with American public in
terest.
'It would be unfair, un-
democratic, and un-Ameri-
can to discriminate in such
a way against Catholic free

elimination may begin with
the attempt to discredit and
disqualify the Catholic can

ried to its logical con-
sequences, 1t would attempt
to exclude Catholics not
merely from the presidency
but from all public office,
ultimately from the right to

widely discussed in America
today-due largely to mis-
conceptions that never would

clarified II there were no
