The statement said when ar

the use of government to pur-
sue its particular religious OBJ
jectives, and asserts that it has
a right to control the political
actions of its adherents, the
religious issue must be consid-

Failure Of the Roman Cath

tinued.
"Protestants who speak out
about their convictions of the
separation of church and

At Butler. where he arrived
in early afternoon, Senator
Kennedy took after his rival
on another score. Taking note
Of Mr.. Nixon's description OF
himself yesterday as "a prac-
tical conservative" the Demo-
cratic nominee recalled that
the Vice President has been
calling himself an economic

confused by this abundance of

changeable and contradictory

With all this talk about an
old Nixon and a new Nixon, it
should be remembered that
there was no old Lincoln or

Senator Kennedy drew such
applause with his attacks on
Mr.. Nixon over Quemoy and
Matsu that the nominees ad-
visers became more convinced
than ever that the Democratic
candidate, and not the Vice
President, would emerge as the
beneficiary from the dispute.
The swing through Western

pearance and at Beaver Falls
q much larger crowd was out
to hear Senator Kennedy lam
bast no only Mr.. Nixon but
also Henry Cabot Lodge, the
Republican vice presidential
candidate. He said Mr.. Lodge
promised a Harlem audience a
Negro cabinet member but
changed his tune when he cam
paigned in the South.
Senator Kennedy, at Beaver
Falls, charged Mr.. Nixon was
advocating domestic policies
now that he has opposed in the
past and said: THE people of
Pennsylvania and the people
Of the country are not inter-
ested in deathbed conversion,

Kennedy Signs
Many Kennedy signs, home
made and otherwise, were in
evidence. Some, rejecting West
ern Pennsylvania's economic
plight, read, Kennedy for
prosperity"
While cheered by the recep-
tons he had received during the
tour, the Kennedy people re-
fused to consider their cam
paign was over the hump. Their
caution left unanswered, in
their view these questions:
Has the campaign actually
taken a turn in the Democratic
nominees favor? b..
And, if it has, what was the
turning point?
Pennsylvania's politically
astute Gov. Lawrence told a
Pittsburgh audience, I'VE have
come to the divide" In New
York, James A. Farley, the po-
litical wizard of the Roosevelt
area, said, IT don't see how
Kennedy can help but carry
New York"
In Michigan, Gok G. Mennen
Williams was predicting a sweep
on the basis of polls and Sena-
tor Kennedy's crowds as he
toured Friday through Repub-
lican strongholds.
In Ohio, Gov. Michael v.
Disable believes the crowds
which have thronged to see
the Democratic candidate
he has nothing to worry
about IN that State.
Southern Cloud Clears
And quite suddenly the
Southern picture, once darkly
clouded. has cleared up, the
Kennedy people are sure. Most

erShip in Georgia and South

visit there.
The support coming from
political leaders once
chilly toward Senator Ken,
nedy, and the missionary work
this week among his Southern
home folks by Senator john
son, the Democratic vice preSi-
Dental candidate, has raised
the Kennedy hopes of carry
ing most if not all the South.
The turning point, Kennedy
aides feel was the first tele-
vision debate between SEN
ator Kennedy and Mr. Nixon
"The people were for Us al.
along" key Kennedy advis-
er said. But they weren't sure
about Jack and how he stood
up beside Nixon. The debate

This has been my position

Senator Kennedy, who had
charged in speeches through
out the day that Mr.. Nixon
was "a trigger-happy candi-
date" whose announced policies
would have involved the United
States in a compliment to de-
fend the islands under any cir
cumstanceS, reviewed how the
matter became an issue in the
campaign.
In their second televiSion de-
bate, the Democratic nominee
said that while he was not sug-

be unwise to take a chance of
being dragged into war over
two islands not strategically
defensible "as long as they are
not essential to the defense of

Recalls Nixon Statement
He noted Mr.. Nixon had re-
piled then that he would dis
agree completely" since the
principle was involved Of sur
rendering territory "in the area
Of freedom" Later, Senator
Kennedy added, "he extended
the boundaries of our treaties
even more by clearly pleGs lg
that not 'one inch Of free ter
ritory' would be lost in the
area" :"
In the candidates third de-
bate last Thursday night, the
Democratic nominee said Mr..
Nixon for the first time said
his intent was simply to honor
this eountry's treaty obligation
"and stand by our allies in
Formosa."
Senator Kennedy contended
that in the last debate Mr.. |
Nixon had shifted his position
and was saying now that the
islands would be defended "in

to ascertain whether the sub
sides are needed in the FIRST
place.
One basic question yet to be
answered is whether the week.
old hike in D. C. Transit's fare
will bring in reasonable profits.
The previous fare was a straight
20-cent cash ride. Mr.. Hayes
said the commission staff will
be keeping a close check on
whether the fare increase
causes such a loss in riders
that less revenue will be pro-
duced than expected.
Mr.. Hayes termed the
p. U. C.'s position an "unenvia-
Bile" one. He said it is faced
with a vicious circle" Under
the law the commission must
regulate D. C. Transit so that
the company is allowed to make
a reasonable return and be an
attractive investment. and at
the same time it must set rates
that would not be unreasonable
in the public interest.
The circle starts when the
company shows a need for ad-
ditional revenue. This then re-
quires a fare increase if there
is no. subsidy or outright grant
to be given. Should there be an
increase in fares there may fol-
low a decrease in passengers,
and the cycle begins again.
A subsidy would mean the
general public would share part
Of the burden in keeping the
trafiic company an attractive
investment. A fare increase
would mean that this burden
Is being carried solely by the
transit riders. Mr.. Hayes point
ed out that a sound transit op-
Grafton is of benefit to the gen.
eral public, helps the business

Time is the vital thing,
Mrs. Smith observed. "At the

have passed before anyone
could really start to work with
a family. Yet If we wait even
a week, the family may move
and finding them will be diff
cult. Sometimes just providing
a homemaker who can take over
if a mother is sick or away can
prevent a family breakup"

Miss Elma Ashton, formerly

visor of the section. The DE-

sor for the study unit itself.
About 500 children currently
are being given emergency care
