Morton later said he had tried

Senator Kennedy as a "Khru-

he said.
BacklaSh Feared
Senator Morton said religious
attacks on Senator Kennedy
could boomerang and hurt Vice
President Nixon because "the
American people, most Of them
certainly are above responding
to these bigoted attacks"
Vehemently denying that the
party is encouraging the anti
Catholic campaign, Senator
Morton called again for an end
to the religious discussion by
the candidates.
Pressed to say whether he or
Mr., Nixon should specifically
repudiate DR.. Peale, Senator
Morton did not answer directly.
He said there will be thousands

Peter Flanagan, director OF

stop using the religious issue
against Senator Kennedy. Mr..
Flanagan said Texans for Nixon

Mr.. Nixon has said religion
should not be an issue in the
campaign and has instructed

cuss the subject.
Celebrating on his charge
that the Democrats are trying
to exploit the religious issue,
Senator Morton said, I'm not
sure the issue is running

He maintained that is is

Nevertheless, DR.. Peale said,
II am strongly opposed to any
admixture of religious discus
sion and political partisan
ship"
Immediately after the news
reports of that meeting ap-
peared, I realized that just this
had happened, and therefore !
wired the executive director
withdrawing from any
further participation in the
groups meetings or activities" -
DR.. Peale said he has had no
contact with the organization
since then, and has avoided all
contact with reporters be
cause I felt that any further
statements from me would serve
to emphasize the ISSUE"
THE unwarranted implica-
tions which have been drawn
from my attendance at that
meeting contradict my record
Iof 80 years of ardent interfaith
activities. of which I am justly
proud"
! He continued: The people
have the right to elect a Cath
olic, a Jew, a Protestant or even
someone of no religious affili-
alton as President, and he has
the right to serve. The election
should be on the basis Of the
man best qualified"
mot Duped, Just Stupid"
The Associated Press said DR..
Peale told an interviewer he
had offered to resign his pas
torate at Marble Collegiate
Church, Reformed, because of
repercussionS from the groups
meeting. He said the church's
deacons had refused to accept
his resignation. -.
II was not duped. I was just
stupid E. babe in the woods"
he said Of his attendance at
the meeting.
DR.. Peale denounced Senator
Jackson's criticisms as lex
tremely vicious"
The Rev. DR.. Donald H. Gill,
executive director of the Or
ganization. said DR.. Peale
played a relatively minor role
| at the meeting, presiding at
one session.
THE spirit OF. the confer
ence and the statement which
issued from it have been de-
liberately misinterpreted in
many quarters" DR.. Gill said,
according to the AP.
Although the statements by
DR.. Gill and Dr.. Peale mini
mized the role played by the
latter at last weeks meeting,
DR.. Peale was listed then as
presiding over the closed ses-
sion at which the controversial
statement was approved.
At a news conference after
the meeting, reporters were
given a mimeographed sheet
that listed the speakers with
DR.. Peale's name under the
heading: Presiding" DR.. Peale
was one of the spokesmen at
the press conference to answer
reporters questions and ex-
plain the groups statement.
Mr.. Flanagan, director Of Ma

of Texans for Nixon, after
reading a story In The Star
yesterday reporting the Texas
groups remarks about Senator
Kennedy's catholicism.

contrary to everything we tell

Mr.. Flanagan said.
He said Mr.. Collins MAIN

to base his appeal on religion.
Mr.. Flanagan continued:

Der or thief. There were 764 such vio-

of bank robbery and get away with it,"
AN EVEN MORE shocking fact Of
a national disregard of morality
from a report that over 81 million a
day is stolen from business firms by
their own employees!
This threat to our economy is more
organized than bank robbery and is,
of course. much harder to detect, In
1855, business concerns lost over 81
billion TO embezzlers. Nearly 200 BUSH

employees stealing,

breaks civil and divine law by stealing
from the firm that pays him? Does he
