Mr.. Landers said the loose
knit organization now provides
q clearing house of information
for some 700 Dallas-Fort Worth
ministers, chiefly of the Baptist,
Church Of Christ, Nazarene,
Assembly of God, Holiness,
Evangelical and Congregational
Methodist denominations.
Various committees of the
organization stand ready to
provide the ministers or the
general public with pamphlets
and photographers on Catholic
doctrine and with films or
speakers for their groups.
Another unit, called the Pre-
cinct Committee. is charged
with arranging transportation
to get voters to the polls on
election day.
Mr.. Landers said in an inter-
view the Christians United was
not a political organization,
though he said the participat-
ing ministers were absolutely
agreed" in their opposition to a
Catholic becoming President. 81

had covered its cost.
Mr.. Landers said he wa,
using m m bers of his owl
church's 20 = man ONCE staff
to handle his activities in the
Christians United Organization
and that office space and tele-
phone service likewise were
being provided by his church
He said other ministers active
in the group were doing the
same thing.
Later in the campaign, he
said, Christians United may
solicit contributions for news
paper ads and other purposes,
such contributions, he said,
would not be tax-exempt. But
he added, the use of church
facilities and staffs for tie pur-
poses Of Christians United
would not. in his belief, affect
the tax-exempt status of the
churches.
In addition to the co-ordi-
mated efforts Of groups like Mr.
Landers'. local observers report
there has been a marked in
crease in the activities of indi-
vidual eVangelists in small Tex
as towns.
One man who is frequently
mentioned in this connection
is the Rev. v. E. Howard of
Greenville, Tex, who for 30
years has been an itinerant
evangelist for the Church of
Christ. For the last 20 years,
Mr.. Howard has operated a
jewelry store in Greenville,
along with presiding over a
weekly gospel hour radio broad
cast and accepting preaching
assignments as they came
along.
In recent months, Mr.. How

for speaking out on this SUBJ
ject.
Il don't believe I've seen a
single instance of q prominent
layman rising up to protest
his preachers talking out on
the religious ISSUE"
Some Protest; Most Silent
There have been a few pro-
tests in recent weeks from min
listers themselves. The Rev.
Bake Smith of the University
Baptist Church in Austin de-
voted his sermon to a criticism
OF other ministers attacks on
Catholic doctrine. DR.. Robert
Raible of the First Unitarian
Church in Dallas did the same
thing last Sunday.
For the most part, however,
local observers report that min
listers and rabbiS who may
share the views Of Mr.. Smith
and Mr.. Raible are maintain
ing silence. The same is true.
they say, of Catholic clergymen.
The conflict between reli-
gions is, naturally, a source of
concern to many persons. Dallas
has had an outstanding record
Of interfaith cooperation char
tiles, on hospital construction
and on participation in civic
enterprises.
Yet. on September 8, the
Dallas Conference of Christians
and Jews was moved to issue
a statement saying: I'VE are
dismayed and feel deep concern
because the use Of false re-
liglouS issues in the present
political campaign can do no
other than to array citizen
against citizen because Of re-
ligious differences"
Evening star., 1960-09-21

Dor LII my small town Ill Iexas,
almost every minister in town
went down and talked against
Al Smith before the Ku Klux
Klan. But If they discussed him
from the pulpit. they were Ii
able to be censured, because
people then didn't want to
have politics in the churches.
Now" he continued, It's
not only accepted, but it's re-
garded as proper an activity
aS the administration of the
ordinances. The preacher is
made a hero If he discusses it
in a sermon"
This man sees a direct link
between the religious issue"
that has sprung up this year
and the race issue" that has
been agitating the South since
the Supreme Court desegrega-
ton decision. In many cases
he believes, the new issue is
being used to heal the breach
that has developed between
the minister and his leading
parishioners over the old issue
For the past decade" he
said, "the Southern white
preacher has been the most
pathetic creature in the house
Of God. because he has been
told by his parishioners to sup
press his views Oh the race
issue.
Now comes another issue.
and the same men who have
been putting the thumb on
him-and you must understand
that. typically, the leading
members of the church will
be Masons. businessmen, bank
presidents and utility heads

AU,UUU CupIes, DuG, / MuII Tell
you who it was from"
Many of the observers of the
Texas religious scene empha-
size their belief that the uues-
tionS originally raised with
Senator Kennedy by the better
educated Protestant ministers
reflected sincere concern over
his views on church-state rela-
tions.
AS Mr.. Bryant, Mr.. Landers'
antagonist, put it: "These men
were asking. not whether a
Catholic should be President.
but what kind of a Catholic.
In other words, they wanted to
know Senator Kennedy's posi-
ton on the issues of religious
freedom where the doctrines
OF his church leave fair reminded
persons in doubt"
Other point out that the con-
cern over Catholicism has been
heightened by reports from
Protestant missionaries who
have encountered persecution
in some countries with estab-
liShed Catholic churches.
In the view of these observ-
ers, the reaction of its laymen
to these original probings by
the ministers has played a
critical role in encouraging the
clergymen to carry on their
campaign against the DEM
ocratic nominee.
Situation Reversed
This viewpoint was best ex-
pressed by q third-generation
Baptist minister whose present
assignment brings him into
close contact with ministers
and laymen Of many faiths. !

ing day.
Mr.. Landers denounced Mr.
Bryant's statement as "a ma.
licious implication" he said
he had alluded in the meeting
to the fact that political lead
ers Of both parties decried the
injection of the religious issue
into the campaign, but he saiC
he had never asked for or re-
ceived instruction from poll
tical leaders on the tactics his
group should follow.
Mr.. Landers told The Stal
there was very little money
involved in the operations oi
Christians United, aside from
the free will offerings" OF
members Of the congregations
Of the participating ministers
He said the group had solicited
no funds from the general pub
lie and had received only a
single SIS gift from an outsider
who had heard of its work.
This is a point I'm very
sticky about" he said. There
is no Republican money behind
this organization"
Aided by Congregation
Mr.. Landers said the original
cost of publishing his pamphlet,
Can We Afford to Elect a
Catholic President?" which has
been distributed by the thous-
ands across the South, was un-
derwritten by his own congre-
cation. The booklet was printed
by the church-owned March
Against Time Publishers, which
also turns out missionary works
for the international Mission
ary Society which is affiliated
with Mr.. Landers' church. He

purple-covered booklet called
THE White House-American
or Roman?" He also appeared
prominently in the questioning
lof Senator Kennedy before the
Houston Ministerial Associa-
ton, although leaders Of the
association said he was not q
member Of the group.
This week, Mr. Howard said
in an interview that in addition
to his normal preaching, he is
going to address public meet
ings in the civic auditoriums OF
Ardmore and Enid. Okla, and
Kansas City. KanS., on the
religious issue" in the cam
paign.
Won't Tell Of Financing
Mr.. Howard Is reluctant to
discuss the financing Of his
famous booklet. which, he says
has now been distributed to
100000 persons with another

He said individual copies are

produced a controversy be-
tween Mr.. Landers and the
Rev. BaXton Bryant, pastor oi
the Elmwood Methodist Church
in Dallas and an active partici-
pant in Democratic Party af-
fairs.
Charge and Denial
Mr.. Bryant told reporters
after the meeting that Mr..
Landers had said: II have been
in contact with political leaders
on how this religious issue can
be used and they advised
against making too much noise
about this"
Mr.. Bryant said Mr.. Landers
then outlined the reasons why
he thought the group should
reject this advice. He also said
Mr.. Landers had urged the
ministers to advise their par
