and would not attend the Los
Angeles party gathering was
regarded as a blow to Senator
Symington of Missouri, the
former Presidents declared
choice for national leadership.
Many Democrats viewed it
also as a concession by Mr..
Truman that Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts, has the nomi-
nation cinched.
Interpretation Disputed
But the camp of Senator
johnson Of Texas vigorously
disputed this Interpretation and
set the stage for what they
hoped will be the formal debut
of the Texas campaigner.
Senator johnson fatty de-
MED he has made any firm
plans. but one of his top
hackers predicted today he
would make his official dec
laration of candidacy within
the next five days. johnson
supporters also are seeking to
persuade him to undertake a
campaign swing next week, but
the Senator has thrown cold
water on that idea.
The decision by Senator
johnson and his unofficial
campaign manager, House
Speaker Rayburn, that Con-
gress should recess this week
end until August frees both
men for full-time politicking.
Senator johnson and Speaker
Rayburn explained, however,
that they had made the deci-
sion only because it seemed
impossible to dispose of the
long list of legislation awaiting
action before the conventions
begin.
The action keeps intact
through the convention period
their main source of political
.everage-their great influence
on legislation. With 10 appro-
priation bills and such matters
as health insurance, minimum
wage. housing and school con-
struction legislation held over
for later consideration, Senator
johnson and Mr.. Rayburn will
have many items of interest to
discuss with the convention
delegates.
The chief topic of discussion
today. however. was the signi-
flcance of Mr.. Truman's with
drawal from the convention
scene. With his usual talent for
building interest, Mr.. Truman
allowed full play for specula-
ton by postponing his own
press conference explanation of
the move until Saturday morn
ing.
The only clue he offered was
that health is not a factor.
He, told reporters: IT feel fine.
Mrs. Truman feels fine. There
Is no health reason"
Lines of Speculation
The main lines of speculation
we're these:
!. Mr.. Truman sees the
Symington campaign failing
and wants to pull out, perhaps
in favor of Senator Johnson
This theory is based on the
fact that the Symington cam
paign appears to have enlisted
only about 100 first ballot votes
and the recollection of previ-
ously reported agreements by
Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Rayburr
that either Senator Symingtor
or Senator Johnson should be
the nominee.
However, reports of the
Truman Rayburn agreement
have been denied by both mer
and Mr.. Truman just last week
said he would remain behind
Senator Symington until the
last dog dies"

A FEW YEARS AGO, one

Under the program, pupils
were given time out from 9th

be instructed, each in his
own religion, according to

THIS IS NOT ONLY a relig-

Education emptied of relig-

is crippled education. Without
the lnsights that religious
truth gives, schools do not
really know what education
is, because they do not know
what man is. what is his des-
tiny and purpose, and what
existence and the uni

Religious people, who are
in the vast majority, ought
to be able to agree-whatever
their denominations - that
such is the case, and that

since it contains within itself
