On Church-Stote Issue

NEW YORK, Feb. l6 (AP),
Senator Kennedy, a Roman
Catholic, says he firmly believes
in the constitutional separation
of church and State. And he
adds that he does not favor
an American ambassador to
the Vatican.
The 41-year-old Democratic
Senator from Massachusetts, Is
considered a potential candi-
date for the Democratic preSi-
Dental nomination, despite the
fact that no Catholic has ever
been elected to the White
House.
Outlining his views as a
Senator on religion and the
Constitution, Senator Kennedy
is quoted in Look Magazine to-
day as saying:
Whatever ones religion in
his private life may be, for
the ofhce-holder nothing takes
precedence over his oath to up
hold the Constitution and all
its partS-including the First
Amendment and the strict sep
aration of church and State.

these-they would be more

On the question of school
aid, Senator Kennedy said:
1.-THE First Amendment to
the Constitution is an infinite
ly wise one. There can be no
question of Federal funds being
used for support of parochial
or private schools. It's un-
constitutional under the First
Amendment as interpreted by
the Supreme Court. I'm OPP
posed TO the Federal Govern
ment's extending support to
sustain any church or its
schools.

as buses, lunches and other
services, the issue is primarily
social and economic and not
religious. Each case must be
judged on its merits -"

billion. He said he would
much prefer that any increase
that may be necessary be &C
complished through a tempo
rary increase" Congress last
year increased the temporary
limit to $3.50 billion until next
June 80.
Mr.. Mills predicted prompt
approval of the administra-
tons request for still another
extension of the SO per cent
levy on corporation incomes
and of present excise rates on
liquor, tobacco and automo-
biles. Those rates would other
wise automatically drop next
June and result in a SO billion
revenue less to the Treasury.
Mr.. Mills took issue with ifs
cal authorities who contend
that overall tax revision should
not be undertaken until a
budget surplus can clearly be
foreseen.
ut seems to me-" he said,
that the tighter the budgetary
situation we anticipate and the
more remote the prospects for
tax reduction, the stronger be-
comes the case for revising our
tax laws"

net note OF January 10, 1859:
because its views on the points
at issue have been made plain
in the note of December 81,
1888, and on previous occasions;
and partly because in its view
neither polemics nor insistence
on the prior acceptance of any
limitations on the means of
reaching mutually satisfactory
solutions can be helpful.
Set for Conference
The United States Govern
ment is prepared to participate
in a conference of the Minis
tiers of Foreign Affairs of the
USSR, France, the United
Kingdom, and the United
States, and is ready to consider
any suggestions as to a date
and place, which would be fixed
by mutual agreement. The
place and date should be set
tied through diplomatic chan
nelS.
The conference should deal
with the problem Of Germany
in all its aspects and implica-
tons as raised in the recent
exchange Of notes between the
governments of the United
States Of America, France, the
United Kingdom and the Fed
eral Republic of Germany on
the one hand and the govern
ment of the USSR on the other
hand.
It is suggested that German
advisers should be invited to
the conference and should be
consulted.

The Governm emit Of the
United States refers to the note
of the government of the USSR
dated January 10, 1859.
The United States Govern
ment has repeatedly expressed
its conviction that the con-
tinued division of Germany
constitutes q danger to Euro
pean security and to world
peace. This danger is height
ened by the persistent and
fragrant denial to the East Ger
mans of human rights and
fundamental fire e d IONS. The
United States Government has
sought to deal with this prob
lem as urgently as possible
through negotiations among
the four powers responsible for
Germany. In pursuing this OBJ
jective, it has been willing to
negotiate seriously on all as
poets Of the program. This at
titude long held was most re-
Gently put forward by the
United States in its notes of
September 80 and December 81,
1858.
Danger Cited
The Soviet government has
announced its intention uni
laterally to abdicate certain of
its internationally agreed re-
sponsibilities and obligations in
regard to Berlin. That would
encourage, and could result in,
an attempt to assert control
over the rights of the Western
powers to be in Berlin and to
have unhampered access there
to. The danger to world peace
inherent in this Soviet initia-
tive Is evident.
The position of the Western
powers in this matter has been
made clear in their note Of
December 81. They have no
choice but to declare again that
they reserve the right to up
hold by all appropriate means
their communications with their
sectors Of Berlin.
Apart from the question of
Berlin, the Soviet note of jan
uary 10 contains a number of
statements and proposals with
which the United States Gov
eminent does not agree. The
United States Government does
not, however, propose to dis
cuss these things in the present
communication. This is partly

hallmark of a constructive tax

sas Democrat told the Tax Ex-
ecutives Institute last night at
the Shoreham Hotel.
eliminating unjuStified tax
differentials and preferences is
the basic means to this end.
A really successful program OF
tax revision, by expanding the
tax base and increasing the
yield of the tax system, would
provide us an excellent oppor-
tunity to weigh the merits OF
general tax reduction and debt
retirement"
Opposes Gasoline Tax
Meanwhile, pending such an
admittedly long committee
study, Mr.. Mills offered the Els
enhower administration little
encouragement for any early
appreciable tax cuts or for a
pay-as-you-go increase in the
gasoline tax.
Mr.. Eisenhower has recon-
mended a 11a cents a gallon
increase in the tax on automo-
bile and aviation gasoline. The
present Federal tax is 3 cents
a gallon. The additional rev.
enue would go to the Highway
Trust Fund which finances the
multi-billion dollar highway
construction program. A deficit
in that fund is expected in the
near future, Mr.. Eisenhower
noted.
UNLESS there are compelling
reasons of which l am now I'M
aware" Mr.. Mills said, II can
not vote to increase the gasoline
tax prior to the submission and
analysis of a cost ALLEGATION
study due January 8, 1861.
another reason I do not
now support an increase in the
gasoline tax is the fact that it
is a large source of revenue for
the States. If the Federal
Government should move fur
ther into this area it would
certainly handicap the States
in being able to match the Fed
eral funds in the highway con-
struction program"
Would Refrain Ceiling
Mr.. Mills disclosed he disa-
grees also to some extent with
the administrations request for
another increase in the perma-
nent ceiling of the national
debt from 1888 billion to $685.

Tax increases such as Presi-
dent Eisenhower's proposed gas
oline tax boost are out of the
picture in Congress at least
until 1861, Chairman Mills Of
the House Ways and Means
Committee believes. And he
sees even less chance of tax cuts
this year.
But, in his opinion, the best
prospect for any form of even-
tual tax reduction during the
current and probably continu-

is in revision of the tax system

Survey of II Southern States Shows
DesegregatiOn Grinding To A Halt.
Senate Judiciary Committee Hears

School desegregation in the
south is slowly grinding TO a
halt, according to the results of
an eleven-state survey presented
to the Senate Judiciary committee
last week.
Will Maslow of New York, gen.
eral counsel of the American
Jewish Congress, told a commit
tee hearing that federal action on
civil rights is necessary to halt
what he termed an alarming
showdown" in augmentation of
the Supreme Court decision out
having segregation in public
schools.
Out of 2,018 bi-racial school dis
tricts in the south, according to
the American Jewish Congress
survey, desegregation has begun in
only 141 of which 124 are in
West Texas, which has small
Negro population. This is an in
