combat during World War II
in the E. T. o. I was q part
ner with Catholics and Jews.
Thus ! will be q faithful
partner with Mr.. Kennedy
in the affairs Of our country.
he as President, I as q citi-.
zen.
Religious issues are impor-
tant enough to me to be con-
cerned about. So is my duty
to tolerance and my moral
obligation to any President.
People may differ on issues
and stand fields apart, but Q
President needs men who
not only share the hard
ships Of war together but
who will share peace togeth-
er.
Let us turn violent thoughts
into constructive deeds.

It now appears clear that
President-elect Kennedy
could not have received a
majority in the electoral COL
lege without the votes Of the
Deep South. The closeness Of
the election was all to our
good. since no mandate to
the radicals was indicated.
It Is. therefore, suggested
that some recognition be
given our region. especially
to G rgia. the only State in
the On to have remained
steadfastly Dem ocratic
throughout our history.
What better way could the
incoming Administration re-
ward US than by offering the
post Of Secretary Of Agricul-
.ture to that successful farm
er. business man. and states
man. Senator Herman Tai
madge? OF course the Sen
ator might not be interested,
but 1t would be q fine and q
wise gesture on the part Of
the highly capable young
man. who Is soon to take
over the most powerful ofiice
on earth.
It should be further noted
that. in spite Of the Martin
Luther King incident, the
Democrats did not get the
Negro vote in Atlanta. Our
victory In Georgia came from
the backbone Of the Demo-
cratic Party, the Southern
white people.

A Reuters dispatch from
London under date of Novem-
ber 8 reports MIR. Khrushchev
congratulating Mr.. Kennedy
on his election to the Presi-
dency and saying further,
I'VE hope that while you are
in this post the relations be-
tween our countries will again
follow the line along which
they were developing in
Franklin Roosevelt's time :"
Does this mean another
Yalta. another Teheran, an
other Potsdam. another PAN
munjom, another Berlin Cor
ridor. another 38th Parallel?
If so, for heavens sake let's
be frank and honest about it
this time and do the "negoti-
ating" in the open. Let's CO.
operate fully with Mr.. Khru-
shchev and give him what he
wants. Indeed, let's invite him
to Washington-to Stay.

America should now unite
behind President-elect Ken
nedy for a stronger, more
peaceful, better America.
All factions should be brought
together behind our incoming
President to give him the
support needed to carry out
his programs. With conf
dence and announcement,
our new chief executive can
become one of the greatest
this country has seen.

I do not see how David
Lawrence can make such
statements as he made in his
column, mo Mandate in
Election Vote" It is incon-
ceivable that a man of his
talents would come up with a
column like this. If he would
look at statistics. he would
discover that there isn't one
State with a Catholic voting
potential Of even so per cent.
For every State with a high
Catholic population that Sem
ator Kennedy carried Vice
President Nixon, carried one,
too. The election is over and
to hold postmortems when
there is so much to be done
is q waste of Mr.. Lawrence's
talents. I am sure that he can
