THE POLITICAL MILL
The Issue That Will Not Down
By GOULD LINCOLN

Are the Democratic spokes-
men, including former Pres
ident Harry s. Truman and
Gov. j. Lindsay Almond. jr.,
of Virginia, attempting to tell
the public that any Protestant
who votes against Senator
John F. Kennedy Of Massa-
chusetts, a Catholic, their
party's nominee for Presi-
dent, is a bigot? Are they con-
Quoting a pressure campaign
on Protestants generally. no
matter whether they consider
Senator Kennedy not as well
fitted for the presidency as
his Republican opponent, Vice
President Richard M. Nixon,
a Quaker, to vote for the
Massachusetts, Senator next
November? It is beginning to
look very much as If all this
concerted Democratic propa-
ganda about Republican lead
ers, including Mr.. Nixon,
playing fast and loose with
the so-called religious issue,
is deliberate. AS if they hoped
to line up the very large num-
ber of Catholic voters in this
country solidly for Senator
Kennedy and to win him the
votes of Protestants who are
reluctant to be termed bigots.
1t would be a new wrinkle in
presidential campaigns If it
succeeded.
A candidate for President
in the United States, should
not be elected or defeated
because of his church and his
religious beliefs. The Dem
ocratic spokesmen, so far as
this writer is aware. are not
stressing the fact that any
Catholic who votes for Sem
ator Kennedy merely because
he is also a Catholic and not
because of his qualifications
for the Office is a bigot. They
are merely railing at Protest
ants who may for reasons OF
their own prefer Mr.. Nixon
to Senator Kennedy.
There is no slightest doubt
that this Democratic propa-
ganda is increasing the bitter
ness over the religious issue.
Nor is there any doubt that
the issue is now firmly driven
into the campaign. How the
issue will affect the vote in
November remains to be seen.
Many Catholics are distressed.
as we'll as many Protestants,
over the issue.
Both Against Issue
Both Senator Kennedy and
Mr.. Nixon have firmly de-
clared they believe that this
issue should not exist. The
Senator himself. first brought
the issue to the fore early in
his campaign for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomina-
ton. He was impelled to do
so because of various charges
that he would be guided by
the Catholic Church - the
Pope, indeed-rather than his
oath to support the Constitu-
ton and the laws of the
United States. He made a
fortnight statement that if
elected President he would al
ways support the Constitution
in carrying out his duties. He
has made many similar state
ments. Vice President Nixon
not only has said he would
have no part or parcel Of the
religious issue. but he has
Evening star., 1960-09-08

directed all his aides not TO
discuss it. The Republican
National Committee has kaDt
and is keeping away from AAy
involvement In the religious
issue.
One of the reasons for the
present effort Of Democratic
spokesmen to denounce as
bigots opponents Of Senator
Kennedy apparently springs
from a fear that the Mas
sachusetts Senator may fare
i'll in some of the Southern
States where the Protestant
population far outnumbers
the Catholic. This goes, too.
for some Of the Midwestern
States. Mr.. Truman's charge
of double dealing against Mr..
Nixon was made at d Labor
Day rally in Indianapolis. The
former President said: while
he (Nixon) stands at the
front door proclaiming char
ity and tolerance his sup
porters are herding the forces
of racial, religious and anti
union bigotry in by way Of the
backdoor, and no one will
ever make me believe he is
not smart enough to know
what is going on"
. No Nixon Answer
Mr.. Nixon has made no
answer to this Truman state
ment on the religious issue.
President Eisenhower. at his
press conference yesterday
wednesday,, was asked to
comment on the charge that
the Republican Party was
bringing religion into the
campaign through the back
door" The President replied
that Mr.. Nixon and he had
agreed long ago that one thing
they would never raise nor
discuss was the religious issue
in the coming campaign. He
said he made his own posi-
ton clear at an earlier press
conference. He added: II not
only don't believe in voicing
prejudice, I want to assure
you I feel none. And I am sure
Mr.. Nixon feels exactly the
same way"
So the President has
aligned himself once again as
strongly opposed to any effort
to defeat or elect any candi-
date for President because of
his religion. However, just as
the Democrats seem to fear
this issue in the South and
Midwest, they are not un-
aware of the fact that the
Catholic population is large
in many of the key States in
a national election. A men,
orandum was written and
circulated in 1856 by support
ers of Senator Kennedy, then
a candidate for nomination
for Vice President, showing
that the proportion of Cath
olic adult population in New
York, for example, was 80 per
cent of the whole; 29 per cent
in Pennsylvania, 80 per cent
in Illinois, 80 per cent in New
Jersey, so per cent in Massa-
chusetts, 40 per cent in Con-
necticut. so per cent in Rhode
Island, % per cent in Califor-
mia. "a per cent in Minnesota,
20 per cent in Ohio, 80 per
cent in Wisconsin, 81 per cent
in MARYLAND and % per cent

Titanic River Flows Under Pacific

even 40 knots, as opposed to
a half knot or so observed
in oceanic currents near the
surface. A moot question is
whether these mig hty
streams of sediment still
roar down the channel. The
problems require that ocean,
ographers called sediment
samples from the channel
bed. Sampling techniques
still are so crude and wealth
er in the area SO bad that
oceanographers are not GER
tain their instruments actu-
ally have reached the chan
mel bed, although at some
points it is more than a mile
wide"
DR.. Hurley says it is prob
able that these channels on
the sea floor are continue
tions Of rivers Of the land
and actually carry the same
sedimen which these
streams empty into the
ocean, far away from the
land.
Part of Vast Study
while these streams Of
sediment-laden water may be
continuous" he says, there
is some evidence to suggest
that they are occasional
events of catastrophe pro-
portions. 1t even has been
suggested that the material
carried down to abysmal
depths by the currents may
be significant in providing
food for fish and other ami
mails living in these depths"
The study OF the great
undersea river, according to
the Navy report, is part of
a larger effort to uncover
the processes that build,
shape and destroy the hills
and plains of more than half
the earth that is covered by
ocean waters.

One of the earth's greatest
rivers never has been seen
by man.
It is, on the average, 1000
feet deep, and extends for
1,5O0 miles. 1t flows on the
bottom of the sea from the
coast of Oregon a quarter OF
the way across the Pacific.
This titanic stream now is
being intensely studied and
observations now are being
analyzed, according to an OF
flee of Naval Research report.
This organization is taking a
leading part in the observa-
tions which are being di-
rected by DR.. Robert H. Hur-
ley Of the Scripps Institution
of Oceanography.
Making Detailed Pictures
A detailed picture is being
made, says the Navy report,
of the great Cascadia Chan
mel which starts in the fan OF
sediment off the straits OF
Juan de Fuca at the mouth
of the Columbia, moves
about 200 miles southwark.
then breaks through a pass
in a range of undersea noun
tains off Cape Blanco, Ore
gon, and turns almost due
west.
"The channel" says the
Navy report, "is five to ten
times larger than that of the
Mississippi. 1t starts in wa
ters almost two miles deep
and has been traced to wa
tiers almost four miles deep.
In some reaches, natural
levees have been built up on
both sides of the channel. DR..
Hurley believes that the
channel was cut by under
sea rivers of suspended sedi-
ment. The shape and size tell
him that these currents may
have reached great speeds.

Potsdom Papers

Your editorial defense of
the irresponsible handling of
the Potsdam conference ma
terial leaked" by the State
Department lacks conviction.
Messrs. Knebel and Bailey
in acquiring the material
violated both the Govern
ment regulations and DEGREES
restricting its use and the
trust placed in them by the
State Department. Thousands
of Government employees who
daily handle such restricted
materials are subject to
regulations imposing severe
penalties for unauthorized
disclosure. Presumably jour-
nalists Knebel and Bailey
and the newspapers which
published their articles are
immune to such regulations.
They also act as if they are
immune to a responsibility to
the Government which, after
all, is the representative of
the public.
AS for your assertion
that the release of the ma
terial was overdue: Can you
honestly conclude that your
competence to pass a judg-
ment on this matter is better
than that of the responsible
Department of State officials
who saw otherwise? Mind
you I am not quarreling with
the right of a newspaper to
press for the release of fac
tual material to the public. I
do question your right to take
it upon yourselves to make
public such materials when
competent and responsible
Government officials h ave
seen fit to restrict it's use.
In so doing you have also
brought down further re-
strictions on the use of Off
cial documents which will
make it even harder for
scholars and journalists with
legitimate purposes to make
use of official Government
files such as those opened to
Knebel and Bailey.
Finally the articles pub
lished by Knebel and Bailey
were based on notes hastily
culled from a large collection
of documentary material and
at best build only a frag-
mentary and disjointed pic
ture. But it is upon this pur-
loined skeleton of the whole
body that opinions of pos
sibly great political conse-
quence will be shaped in the
next few neutrality-suspicious.
likely to be entirely unjusti-
fed when viewed in the light
of careful study of the entire
story.
I think The Star and all
other newspapers which pub
lished the Potsdam articles
owe the public an apology.
Also the State Department
should now release the COM
plete Potsdam conference
collection as soon as possible
to allow objective appraisal
of all the material in its
proper context.

Modern Noah Needed

Richard Fryklund tells of
"Doomsday Bombs in Five
Years"
May I express the hope
that this can be delayed until
a modern Noah perfects a
Space Ark to transport earth
species to some more suitable
planet?
In case of no delay, we may
find some consolation in
Thomas Henry's columns
which. from time to time,
have explained the probable
tiles of life elsewhere in the
universe = and presumably
with enough intelligence not
to play with Doomsday
Bombs. Robert E. Trimble.
A Citizens Duty
Like David Lawrence, in his
column Recent Defections to
the Reds" I, too, am con-
cerned about the state of
mind Of certain Americans.
These people appear never to
have a genuine love for the
United States. Certainly the
protective instinct, where
atheistic communism is con-
cerned, is a paramount re-
quisite of an American.
Most of our men and wom-
en- will risk their lives for
the preservation of freedom
and their children's happi-
ness. That is why they go to
war when called. I can under
stand a man or woman refus-
ing, as a tourist or business
man. to spy if he feels he is
incompetent for such a risky
task. Yet, for centuries, trav-
cling businessmen have not
been ashamed to be observers,
at least, if it would help their
country.
We are in a cold war"
period which makes 1t more
necessary to get information
about a secretive enemy. If
a tourist comes here from
Russia or one of its satellites.
he would be ordered to keep
his eyes and ears open, or
to try to do more. AS this is
a free nation, no touring
American is ever ordered to
do such a thing.
From ancient times men
have been convinced that in
telligence gathering is a state
necessity. Sneak attacks like
Pearl Harbor make this neces-
sary, men being what they
are - imperfect, blind, dis
loyal, disobedient, violent, in
temperate and revengeful.
Refusing to spy as a tour
list is understandable. Inform
ing the newspapers about the
matter is not. In order to
avoid another such occur
renee our spy masters might
well do a bit of investigation
first.
