An s2-year-old Washington

Committee as one Of the lead
ing anti-Catholic agitators in
the United States.
The name of the Rev. Harri-
son Parker, once the subject of
a Federal grand jury investiga-
ton into a church-promotion
puzzle contest which raised
$230,000, is being circulated
among Democratic Party work.
ers seeking to stem the tide of
anti-Catholic campaign litera-

The national committees

set up to deal with the re-
ngiouS issue, obtained Mr..
Parker'S name from an article in

Star star Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. II.
"A former Senator, a Luther
an theologian, a Catholic priest,
an Episcopal chaplain and two
Congressman sat down together
today under the auspices of the
Democratic Party to discuss
religion in politics"
After two hours Of conversa-
ton. they agreed that Senator
Kenne6y's election would not
threaten the separation of
church and state, but that his
defeat might.
The keynote was sounded by
DR.. George w. Forell, professor
of theology at the Chicago
Lutheran Theological Semi
nary. He said:
"The separation Of church
and state is not threatened by
the religious affiliation Of the
presidential candidates - be
they Quaker or Catholic-but
[byl those who would demand
qualifications for public office
beyond personal integrity. in
telligence and loyalty to law.
The exclusion of members
Of any faith undermines the
very nature of the state
and is in fact a breach Of the
separation of church and state" ."
Agreement Voiced
An1ens were pronounced BY
former Senator Josh Lee OF
Oklahoma. a leading Baptist
layman and a dry" Father
James McNamee of Madeleine
Catholic Church in Tulsa; the
Rev. E. John Door, Episcopal
Chaplain of Oklahoma State
University; Representative
Wright Of Texas, a Presbyterian
and a Mason, and Representa-
tive johnson of Colorado, q
Congregationalist.
They were assembled for the

constitutional ban on q ren-
gious test for public ofice.
Representative johnson said /:
II view those who would try
to reimpose o religious test Of
ONCE as enemies Of the Amer
ican Constitution"
Peale Mentioned
Representative Wright add
ed: IF we are to reject this
man on the grounds Of his re-
ligion, what effect is it going to
have in Latin America, in
Western Europe and the rest
of the world, where they are
judging us not by what we say
but by how well we live up to
what we say?"
AS usual in Democratic dis
cussions Of the religious issue
these days, the name Of DR..
Norman Vincent Peale came
UP.
The Rev. MIR. Forell said DR..
Peale had said he was not
concerned about Vice President
Nixon's Quaker religion, be-
cause "he doesn't let his
religion bother him"
IF this means he (Nixon)
doesn't take his religion seri-
ously." Rev. Forell said, "he
ought to get out Of his church
or admit he lacks the integrity
we have right to expect in q
presidential candidate"
That reminded the Rev. Mr.
Dorr Of q couplet about DIR
Peale he said he had heard al
Yale:
"St. Paul is appealing.
But Peale is appalling"

Church Issue Called
Constitutional Threat

Democratic Midwest Confer
ence meeting here in an ef-
fort to blunt the effect Of anti
Catholic propaganda against
Senator Kennedy's election.
James w. Wine, the head of
the community relations divi-
sion of the Kennedy campaign,
said today'S panel will serve as
the model for similar sessions
in other parts of the country.
| There was no real argument
over the religious issue" on
the panel, and comments after
wards indicated virtually all Of
the $50 Democrats present we're
persuaded before they came in.
But several Of them said the
paneliStS had furnished them
with useful ammunition" to
combat the criticisms of the
Catholic faith they are en-
counterlng at nome.
Priest Speaks
Much of the ammunition
came from Father McNamee, a
genial white-haired priest
whose candor in discussing the
practices Of his own church
brought frequent applause. An
swering a series Of Devils Ad-
vocate" questions from Senator
Lee, Father McNamee dropped
these comments:
On the dual nature" of the
Catholic Church-"The Pope is
a temporal ruler today only in
Evening star., 1960-09-18

| Vatican City, not in Oklahoma
City. He doesn't have as much
say here as I do"
On the American Catholics
position on church and state
"It would horrify all Catholic
bishops in the United States to
have the Catholic Church
united with the state. You have
to remember that the Catho-
lie immigrants to this country
were as much opposed to an
established church as they were
to monarchy-especially the
Irish!"
Question Of Authority
On the authority of the hier-
archy in political matters
There is not too much a
bishop, or even a Pope, can do.
Our bishop here-I hope he
doesn't mind my saying so-is
q Republican. Most of us priests
are Democrats. He doesn't
bother US, and we don't bother
him"
On the advantages to the
Catholic Church deriving from
the separation Of church and
state "I'll say only this:
Things have reached a point
where we are sending mission
aries to countries with estab-
lished Catholic Churches"
The Protestants on the panel
hammered hard at the point
that disqualification of Senator
Kennedy on the basis of mis-
givings about the doctrines of
his church would violate the

Foreign buyers reduced Amer.
ica'S gold hoard by another
$18l million in the past week
and some officials foresee a
heavier drain in the weeks
ahead.
Nevertheless, these officials
say there is nothing particu-
larly worrisome about the sit
uation. They note the United
States has ample gold to back
its currency and in addition
should be able to fill foreign
orders for the foreseeable fu-
ture.
The Federal Reserve reported
late yesterday that the United
States gold stock stood at $l8,-
758,000.000 as OF last Wednes-
day. This represented a drop
of 1854 million since July /,
compared with a decline of
only S134 million in the first

Since $l1.5 billion Of gold is
required to back the Nations
money, there is a surplus Of $7.2
billion which can be used to
fill foreign orders.

that costs were lower than for

Heavier Drain Seen
On U. S. Gold Hoard

at the annual meeting Of the
International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank. The con-
versations will focus on the two
basic causes of the outflow:
l. The fact that European
interest rates are markedly
higher than those in the United
States. This is prompting a
transatlantic movement of
dollars toward the higher rate.
AS these dollars fall into the
hands of European central
banks, a certain proportion of
them is used to buy gold.
2. The persistent deficit in
the United States balance Of
international payments. For
the third straight year. the
United States is spending,
lending and giving away abroad
several billion dollars more
than it is receiving from for
eign sources. Some of this sur
plus also is being converted into
gold.
Much of the money seeking
higher interest rates has moved
to Britain, where the Bank Of
England invariably converts
the bulk of its dollars to gold.

serve and claiming still more
gold. But much of this money
will probably start flowing back
to this country if United States
interest rates rise or British
rates drop.
Another reason cited here for
a possible increase in the rate
OF outflow is the situation in
the London gold market.

tral banks did much of their

summer gold buying in London

Now the London price is
slightly above the American
price, which may prompt more
