It said:
THE three top citations for
refreshing candor in 1859
should go to the Catholic bish-
ops Of the United States for
their November statement on
birth control, to Bishop James
A. Pike Of the Episcopal Church
for his fearless and analytical
reply, and to Senator John F.
Kennedy. for his statement last
March in which he character
lied as unconstitutional the ap-
preparation Of public funds for
parochial schools.

countercharges Of bigotry, it
shows that we have progressed
