Laos Cabinet

VIENTIANE, Laos, Sept. /
(AP). - Laotian revolutionary
leader Kong lie today bowed to
Premier Souvanna Phouma's S
pleas and accepted a cabinet
including key ministers of the

Suryadhay were dropped from
the cabinet.
King Savang Vathana was
scheduled to swear in the new

to the Pathet Lao to lay down
their arms and invited them to
send ernissaries to negotiate

setup from Gen. Phoumi, who
for a time had threatened a
march against Kong LIE with

Sept. / (AP).-Russia demand

Mr.. Hammarskjold previously

He hoped apparently that II
Mr.. Lumumba's and Mr.. Tsho-

the two leaders would settle
their differences in negotia-

Don n'tAdvdnce
Alone, Soviet
Warns China

MOSCOW, Sept. (AP).-
The Soviet government has OBJ
liquely warned that China can
not build communism or even
continue to exist without help
and support from the Soviet
Union and other Communist
allies.
The discreet reminder Of Red
China's need for her Commu-
mist allies appeared in the Lat
Wan Communist party organ,
Soviet Latvia." Since the paper
does not have a general circula-
ton, it was a curious vehicle for
expression of a new facet in
the theological dispute between
Moscow and Peiping.
The article, by S. Titarenko
repeated the now familiar de-
nunciations of the dogmatists
who insist that a war with the
capitalist world is inevitable.
Seen Impending Aid
It said the expression of such
views is hindering the mobiliza-
ton of the Socialist (Cornmu-
nist) camp in the struggle
against imperialiSts and is i'm
peding aid to newly independent
countries to help them fight
against Imperialism and for
peace and socialism.
Mr.. Titarenko compared the
situation of nations working to-
ward communism today with
the years when the Soviet Un-
ion alone faced the capitalist
world. He asked:
Can you imagine in actual
conditions of life today the
successful building Of socialism,
even in such a great country as
China. if this country were iso-
lated and could not rely on the
cooperation and mutual aid of
all countries Of the socialist
camp?
Blockade Feared
"Such a country, blockaded
economically by capitalist coun-
tries, would also be subjected
to war and strikes from the ex-
terror. 1t would suffer the great
est difficulties even if it could
resist blows from its enemies.
Countries in the Socialist
camp are strong and moving
fast, because they are united
in brotherly spirit and are act
ing on the principle of one for
all and all for one.
"All Socialist countries have
the possibility to raise their
economic and cultural develop
ment in order to go on as one
front and more or less at the
same time toward commu-
niSm."
Gradual Change Sought
Peiping has at various times
showed it's intention-as in the
establishment of agricultural
and urban communes-of leap
ing forward into communism.
Soviet leaders contend the
transition must be- more grad
ual.
Turning to Premier Khru-
shchev's current theme that
war is not inevitable or desir-
able for a Communist victory
over capitalism, the Latvian
paper said:
1.-THE working class in cap
italist countries can create con-
ditions for the peaceful tran
sition to communism" It said
dogmatic elements who dispute
this are wrong.

Who's Guilty?

The recent attacks, nationally and in the Diocese,
against the Catholic Church can be reduced to one
sentence: The Vatican would sway a Catholic president
IN areas OF foreign affairs, education, and church
state relationships.
The Church then has been indicted with the false
charge that is would NEEDLE in politics and "break
down the wall of separation of church and state
oHlo HAS BEEN SINGLED out as a current ex-
ample because nuns teach in certain public schools.
The Akron Beacon Journal editorially replied that the
implication that our present Catholic Governor is party
to a so-called plot to unite church and state is
utterly prepoSterous." The simple truth is that some
local school boards have been hiring nuns for over so
years, SO this practice has nothing to do with the pre-
sent administration in Ohio.
An examination of the main charge however, will
prove that the wrong defendant is on trial.
THE VATICAN NOT spoken out in favor of
one candidate over another. The Bishops of the United
States have not directed their people to vote for a
Catholic. Neither Rome nor the hierarchy have said
anything on this matter one way or another.
But many Protestant ministers HAVE meddled
in politics by asking their people to vote against a Ca
thohc. Many Protestant ministers are guilty OF the very
charge they make against the Church: they have tried
to inject the issue of religion into politics.
This was confirmed recently by the Greensboro,
NC. News which said: "Organized efforts on the part
of responsible Protestant churches to inject yenomous,
and In many cases false, prejudice into the president
ial campaign are in themselves violative of the Amerl-
can tradition of separation of church and state" lem

for Religious Freedom what a misnomer) with a seer
tain amount of hypocrisy" in giving priority to the
separation of church and state, while at the same time
showing mo Discrimination on the part of Norman
Vincent Peale to speak out as he wishes on political
subjects including the Presidential campaign OF

If 1t would be un-American for the Catholic
Church to exert influence in politics, is it not equally
un-American for Protestant ministers to do SO?

holders and office-seekerS, some of whom belong to
congregations headed by the meddling preachers, the
same insulting question posed to Catholic politicians:
care you swayed in the performance of your duty by
your minister's opinions, or influenced by the tenets
of your denominations"
We might well ask the Protestant ministers who
run for and hold elective office: "How can you hold
public office? Is this not union of church and state?"
sue QUESTIONS HAVE not been asked any
of the Catholic hierarchy. So, who is guilty of trying to
join religion and politics? Certainly not the Catholic
