The South and the Religious Issu

religious Affiliations of the
prospective nominees. In
areas where there is a large
Jewish or Catholic popula-
ton, like New York City, the
Democrats and Republicans
usually have tried to cater to
these two big religious groups.
The same thing is true in
Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut.
where for many years Demo-
Gratis who happened to be
Catholics have been elected
to the governorship or other
high State offices. In other
States often the political
leaders Of both parties hesi-
tate to advocate the naming
of Catholics because of the
preponderance Of Protestant
voters.
This is the first time since
1928 that the Democratic
Party has really been able to
test out the religious issue,
and its Success-especially in
the South where it did not
deter the Protestants from
giving such substantial help
to the Kennedy ticket-will
be studied by the Republican
leaders.
One explanation Is that the
Democratic Party organiza-
tionS in most Of the Southern
States put on considerable
pressure to hold the regular
Democrats in line and that
this was a more powerful in
fluence than so-called big
otry. Speaking Of that word.
incidentally, many letters
from readers have asked why
it is regarded as bigotry for
the Protestant Democrats to
vote against Senator Kennedy
because Of his religion but
it isn't called bigotry when
Catholics turn from the Re-
publican Party to vote for
their co-religionist. The Ques-
ton answers itself. 1t really
isn't bigotry to vote for or
against a man because Of his
religion any more than it is
to vote for or against him
because he Is a conservative
or a radical. Any voter can
cast his ballot without regard
to the issues and even in
favor of the better-looking
man on the television screen.
That's the freedom of the
ballot in free America.

Kennedy believed the charges
he made for many months
about the passive state Of
the Nation. It quite clearly
was something else again to
feel the impact Of the story
at the source.
At this point his own plans
are speculative. There is
endless talk but few facts.
Not until he has made his
major appointments will the
real trend Of his thinking
become apparent.
It is known that Adlai
Stevenson admirers have
given up hope that he might
be Secretary of State. He has
not been asked to be Ameri-
can Ambassador to the United

to make up his mind whether
or not to accept that post.
Some Of his friends hope he
will; others complain he
should not take anything

DAVID LAWRENCE

The oft-repeated statement
during the last presidential
campaign that the South was
anti-Catholic seems to have
turned out to be a myth.
A Gallup poll taken after
election day shows that the
Protestants of the South
divided only SO per cent for
Vice President Nixon and AZ
per cent for Senator Ken
nedy, while in the East 1t
was Mr.. Nixon 70 per cent
and Senator Kennedy 28.
This would appear to dem
onstrate that all the talk
about the people of the South
being very deeply Influenced
by the So-called religious is
sue was far from correct.
Indeed, according to the
national poll figures, the
Protestants of the entire
country did not show any
real change from their 1852
and 1856 voting. Thus in
1852, the vote among all Prot
estants was 63 per cent Re-
publican and 81 Democratic.
and in 1856 it was exactly
the same, while in 1860 it fell
of one point, making it 81
per cent for Mr.. Nixon and
80 per cent for Senator Ken
nedy.
This indicates the shifts
among Protestants were
about equal and balanced
each other. Thus, IS per
cent of the Protestants who
voted for President Eisen-
hover in 1856 voted this time
for Mr.. Nixon, according to
the Gallup survey, whereas
Senator Kennedy got "a per
cent Of the Protestants who
had voted for Gov. Adlai Ste
venSon in 1856.
BY offsetting the gains
and losses among the Prot
estants who switched parties,
the latest Gallup poll shows
that the religious issue really
had no material effect on the
election so far as the Prot
estant vote is concerned. The
Gallup poll which came out
a few days earlier. however,
showed there was q big shift

olic votes-amounting to %

Germs the publication and dis
tribution Of prayer books in
Russia, under conditions Of
great danger. the story is
compelling in its human
interest.
The Soviets, confident the

portance. permitted the news
to be reported. It was the
saga Of Sergei Kazeyov, aged
"a, a free enterprise young
man whose courage and zeal
should inspire the NAM to
consider him as THE Man
Of the Year" for 1860.
Every American who has
visited a church or synagogue
in Russia knows the grievous
shortage of prayer books and
Bibles. At the one synagogue

a few tattered. dog -eared old
prayer books. They were
greatly priced. The Orthodox
Church also had a severe
scarcity. There was every

literature. The Soviets de-
liberately restrict 1t.

Our bureaucracy is en-
deavoring to make unpleas-
ant facts more palatable by
using new expressions. Thus
the ugly word Of "unemploy-
ment," bringing back memo
ries Of the hardship years Of
1881 and 1882, has been re-
placed by the more pleasing
expression Of labor sur
pluSes."
The Commerce Department
has issued a report indicating
that nine major industrial
areas were added last month
to the classification of Sub
stantial labor surplus" rails
ing the number of American
jobless to more than 4 mil
lion. Statistically, this may
not be alarming, since the
figure represents less than 5
per cent Of the American la
bor force. It is giving rise,
however, to real concern, not
only to the outgoing admin
istration but also to the Dem
ocrats, since the overall pic
ture for the future is not
encouraging.
One Of the reasons for our
present dollar crisis is the
fact that American goods.
because of the high cost Of
production in this country,
are far less in demand than
they have been in the past.
Industrial Europe as we'll as
Japan is producing, at highly
competitive prices, goods
which in the past were almost
an American monopoly. Ger
man and Japanese sewing
machines, Italian and Swiss
typewriters, and automobiles
ranging from the cheap COM
pact Volkswagen and Renault
to the highly priced Rolls
Royce and Mercedes-Benz
are fast replacing the Ameri-
can equivalent in the world
markets. This loss. which now
extends to domestic markets,
is causing not only the dol
lar crisis but also threatens
an increased labor surplus. "
At the same time employ
ment across the Atlantic is at
an unprecedented height.
The Federal Labor once in
East Germany has just is
sued a report showing that
West Germany, with a
population Of Sc million
people more than one
fourth Of that of the United

are three job openings. In
fact, the 136,355 are for some
reason or other actually un-

shift which was indicated
before election day and now
is confirmed in the post-elec-
ton polls. It has led Repub-
lican politicians to discuss
what they can do about the

future.
One suggestion heard here
is that it may prove desir-
able for the Republicans to
nominate a Roman Catholic

resent even the mention Of
the religious issue. They in
Sist their own votes were not
motivated by any such in
fluence and that most per-
sons were unaffected by it.
Often this comment is ac-
companied by the argument
that this year Catholics who
had voted for Mr.. Eisenhower
in 1852 and 1856 merely
switched back to the Dem
ocratic Party, which they
had supported in the Tru-
man days. The difficulty with
the argument is that no other
religious group showed such
a big shift. The voters of the
Jewish faith, for example,
gave II per cent to the Dem
ocrats in 1852 and 81 per
cent in 1861 rise of only
4 points compared with the
28-percentage-point change
among the Catholics who
had voted Republican in

more food and by so doing, places
a heavier demand upon browse

There are too many deer. The

Deer abundance or lack of album
dance is not merely a matter of
protecting now; harvesting
heavily this time; or closing the

of small units of land such as
individual coulees, ranches or Sec

Winter is the most critical time

species of browse are preferred
