Farmers Union Adopts

/ HeinkeI, president of the Missouri

the agricultural depression has
reached stage of emergency and
asked for immediate legislation.
sHeinkel explained the extent to
which farm people = particularly
housewives - are leaving the land
part-time to supplement their income
in the cities and said that, if farmers
receive parity prices, this would not
be necessary.
EXPANDING ECONOMY URGED
Organized labor was represented
by Paul L.. Phillips, president of the
United Papeamakers and Paperwork-
ers, Union, AFL-CIO. Phillips made
a STRONG plea for closer cooperation
between labor and farm groups and
urged full employment in an expand
ing economy. He said that Russia is
increasing it's output at an average
annual rate of 80, while the United
States rate is only 21a %.
James G. Patton, in his annual re-
port as president OF the National
Farmers Union, outlined proposals
for implementing high policy resolu-
tions calling for an about war
against poverty and for truly multi
lateral approach to world develop
ment.

of the state lands subcommittee which
would raise grazing fees to about &
dollar an animal unit month, was
adopted. Sen. Bill Mackay would only
go for 80 cents. State lands can not be
compared with federal service lands
because they are of a multi-purpose
nature and have different require
mepts such as herders. Indian lands
are now let by contract to get cur
rent value. Private lands get around
$500 an animal unit month.
The one-dollar figure proposed in

The cost of interest on the public

ice, however, is due mainly to rising
interest costs and tight money poll

Land Board Reviews Great
Falls Subdivision, Oil Leases

C. R. Hanson, Great Falls city
engineer, and three promoters dis
cussed the Montana addition to their
city Wednesday with the Land Board.
The subdivision scheme of the Land
Board has been a failure. Up to this
time it has not been possible to set up
any special Improvement districts to
finance utilities.
The individuals who paid 10 per
cent down, with 20 years to pay the
balance, bid rather high for their
individual lots. Seven have gone de-
linquent.
The promoters plan of blocking
out five-acre tracts of previously sub
divided lots for sale to developers
with enough money to put in the re-
quired utilities to make the addition
habitable, is being. studied by Land
CommissionerLou Bretzke.
Darrell Black of Shell Oil per-
suaded the Land Board to participate
in the Little Deep Creek unit which
consists of $4,000 acres in Teton

area. These federally
designated units make it possible to
pool financial resources for drilling

MAXWELL METHOD SEEKS
CAUSE OF DISEASE

The Maxwell method is the search
for the "X" factor in human makeup.
Compulsfve drinking may be arrived
at by IL to 20 years of heavy drink
ing. A mental condition may start
one on the conpulsive road immedi-
ately. This means a total abstainer
may become an alcoholic who will
step into the compulsive behavior pat
tern after one social drink. Maxwell's
factor may even be found in the cell
structure itself. This is indicated be-
cause of the success of drugs in the
mental health field.

cation report from the subcommit-

the publicity the conference got, they
were delighted.

Is the case. I believe the Ameri-
can people are more concerned

they provided in Article VI of

brought not one dissenting

Roger Sherman that it was
surely unnecessary in view of
the liberality prevailing in each

American people mean to ad-
here to those principles today.
But regardless of the politi-
cal outcome. this issue is here
to be faced. 1t is my job to face
it frankly and fully. And it is
your job to face it fairly. in
perspective and in proportion.
l am confident that the press
and other media of this country
will recognize their RESPONSE
bilities in this area-to refute
falsehood. to inform the ignor-
ant, and to concentrate on the
issues, the real issues. in this
hour of the Nations peril.
Evening star., 1960-04-21

I have decided. in view of
current press reports, that it
would be appropriate to speak
with you today about what has
widely been called "the re-
ligious issue" in American
politics.
The phrase covers a multi
tude of meanings. There is no
religious issue in the sense that
any of the major candidates
differ on the role of religion
in our political life. Every
presidential contender, I am
certain, is dedicated to the
separation of church and
state, to the preservation of
religious liberty, to an end TO
religious bigotry and to the
total independence of the
ofice-holder from any form of
ecclesiastical dictation.
Nor is there any real issue
in the sense that any candi-
date is exploiting his religious
affiliation. No ones candidacy,
by itself, raises a religious
issue.
And I believe it is inaccurate
to state that my candidacy
created the issue"-that, be-
cause I am replying to the
bigots, 1 am running on the
religious issue in West Vir-
ginia"-or that my statements
in response to Interrogation
are flaming the controversy.
I am not trying to be the
first Catholic President" as
some have written. 1 happen
to believe I can serve my Ma
ton as President-and l also
happen to have been born a
Catholic.
Nor am I appealing, as is toe
often claimed, to a so-called
Catholic vote. Even if such a
vote eXists-which l doubt
want to make one thing clear
again: I want no votes solely
on account of my religion.
Any voter, Catholic or other
wise, who feels another candi-
date would be a superior PreSi-
dent should support that candi-
date. l do not want any vote
cast for me for such illogical
reasons.
Neither do I want anyone to
support my candidacy merely
to prove that this Nation is not
bigoted-and that a Catholic
can be elected President. ]
have never suggested that those
opposed to me are thereby anti
Catholic. There are ample
legitimate grounds for sup
porting other candidates
Though I will not, of course
detail them here).
Nor have I ever suggested
that the Democratic Party is
required to nominate me OF
face a Catholic revolt in No
vember. I do not believe that
to be true-I cannot believe our
convention would act on such a
premise-and I do believe that
a majority of Americans of
every faith will support the
Democratic nominee, whoevr
he is.

What Is the Issue?

What, then. is the So
called religious issue in Amer
lean politics today? 1t is not.
it seems to me, my actual re-
llgiouS convictions - but a
misunderstanding of what
those convictions actually are.
1t is not the actual existence of
religious voting blocs-but a
suspicion that such voting
blocS may exist. And when we
deal with such public fears and
suspicious, the American press
has a very grave responsibility.
l know the press did not
create this religious issue. My
religious affiliation is a fact
religious intolerance is a fact.
And the proper role of the press
is to report all facts that are
a matter of public interest.
But the press has a RESPONSE
bility, think you will agree,
which goes far beyond a report
ing of the facts. 1t goes beyond
lofty editorials deploring intol-
erance.
For my religion is hardly, in
this critical year of 1860, the
dominant issue of our time. It
is hardly the most important
criterion-or even a relevant
criterion-or which the Amer
lcan people should make their
choice for Chief Executive.
And the press, while not
creating the issue, will largely
determine whether or not it
does become dominant -
whether it is kept in perspective
whether it is considered OBJ
Jectively whether needless
fears and suspicious are stilled
instead of aroused.
The members of the press
should report the facts as they
find them. They should de-
scribe the issues as they see
them. But they should beware,
1t seems to me, of either mag
nifying this issue or oversim-
plifying it. They should be-
ware of ignoring the vital issues
OF this campaign, while filling
their pages with analyses that
cannot be proven. with state
ments that cannot be docu-
mented and with an emphasis
which cannot be justified.
l spoke in Wisconsin, for
example, on farm legislation,
foreign policy. defense, civil
rights and several dozen other
issues. The people of Wiscon-
sin seemed genuinely interested

occasionally sandwiched in be-

religion.
