Harlem Trend Still In Doubt
Neutral observers in Harlem,

Shepard, a member of the Phil

preacher, has been meeting with
groups of ministers in Southern
cities to discourage the spread Of
anti-Cathoicism among a Negro
population that is SIS per cent
Protestant.
While some Democrats claim the
Republicans have been bribing Ne

has found few involved in preach

Members of one minority, these
ministers are not anxious to stir
antagonisms toward another.
Shepard and others say that
without tanning, the factor Of anti
Catholicism will not count for any
thing in the election because the
sentiment does not exist in any
strength among the lay Negroes.
Nixon Can Make Headway If
Republican Negro politicians like
Val Washington believe that Nixon
can cut deeply into the Negro vote

adequate funds are expended.
Jackie Robinson, whose last

VFW Asks BuiIdup;
Nixon Cites Defenses

DETROIT, Aug. Is (AP).-
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
wants a larger Army and Ma
rine Corps and a Navy that is
"the strongest and most versa
tile in history" although Vice
President Nixon has assured it
the United States "is first in
the world militarily."
Shortly after Mr.. Nixon ad-
dressed it yesterday. the 1.3
million member VFW's 61st
convention adopted a resolu-
ton calling for:
A 925, ,000-man Army, a Ma
rine Corps of 100000. a strong
air striking force, an air de-
fense capable of meeting any
threat, the strongest Navy in
history, and no cut in either
the National Guard or Army
Reserve.
The Army now has approxi-
mately $4,000, the Marine
Corps 175,000, the National
Guard 100000 and the Army
Reserve 100000.

INTERPRETIVE REPORT


When Senator Kennedy last
spring battled Senator Hum
phrey in the West Virginia
presidential primary. it was
thought anti Catholicism
might ruin him. The Catholic
population of that State is less
than S per cent.
But when Senator Kennedy
won overwhelmingly many OBJ
servers felt that if he went on
to get the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, as he did, his
religion might not be much Of
an issue in the campaign.
See Grand Illusion
This is beginning to look
like one of the grand illusions
of 1860.
Mr.. Felknor's Fair Campaign
Practices Committee-which is
nonpartisan and privately sup
ported-seeks to prevent unfair
campaign tactics. Backed by
both major parties, it screens
questionable material received
throughout the country.
Mr.. Felknor said yesterday:
1T is becoming much more
virulent and overt. What's so
disturbing is that so much of
this garbage is showing up SO
much earlier than it habitually
does in an election"
He emphasizes there has been
no indication that any of the
material in question came from
responsible Republican quar-
ters.
Ordinarily, he said, when
such material has been circu-
lated in State or congressional
elections. the bulk of it has
shown up only a week or two
before the voting. since it is Of
a type that can be exposed and
discredited if time allows.
But this time, there's been
a great volume of strong anti
Catholic material right in the
post convention period" hi
said.
Fears More Material
With the campaign barely
under way. he said. experience
suggests an awful deluge" oi
such material just before the
election.
He said the committee hat
been led to believe that tht
main wave of it may come or
Reformation Day. october 80

Every indication is that tht

campaign is going to be

He said that in the AL Smitl
campaign, factors other thar
religion figured in the opposi
tion to him, such as his Tam

could be channeled into thes

q greater issue III LIle MIuule
West than the farm problem.
Nonpartisan observers also
report that the campaign is
growing.
Bruce L. Felknor, executive
director of the Fair Campaign
Practices Committee, said yes
terday:
The circulation of rabidly
anti-Catholic material already
is many times greater than we
have ever seen it. We think at
this point there is a substantial
danger the campaign in 1860
will be dirtier on the religious
issue than it was in 1928"
In that year Roman Catholic
Alfred E. Smith was defeated
for the presidency by Herbert
Hoover after a campaign in
which the religious issue was
a big one.
Advisers Concerned
Senator Kennedy's advisers
are acutely aware Of what is
happening and are concerned,
Yesterday his press secre-
tary, Pierre Salinger, told re-
porterS the Democratic organi-
Zation will create a special Sec
tion-with branches in every
State-to deal with the reli-
gious problem.
1t will reply to questions as
they arise on certain types OF
anti-Catholic literature being
distributed. Mr.. Salinger said
it will supply facts on Senator
Kennedy's position on church
and state.
AS an example of what's hap
pening:
Recently two Southern
churchmen said in interviews
with the Nashville Tennessear
that preachers and ministers ir
their denomination will USE
their pulpits to oppose Senator
Kennedy for President.
One, DR.. Ramsey Pollard
president of the nine-millior
member Southern Baptist Con
vention, said: Since the Ro'
man Catholic Church is no
only a church but a politica
entity. we feel we are justified
in making an attack upon Mi
Kennedy on that basis"
The other, B. C. Goodpasture
editor of the Church of Chris
publication. said the Church
of Christ is against Senate
Kennedy because "he owes hi
allegiance to the Pope"
He said his church has abou
two million members and pre-
dicted the Protestant protes
against Senator Kennedy i
"just beginning"
Methodist Opposition
On August 20 at Greenville
S. c., the South Carolina Con
ference of the Southern Meth
odist Church went on record a
opposing election of a Romal
Catholic to the presidency.
The 60 ministers and dele
gates unanimously adopted
resolution saying the Catho
lie church has mo line of sep
aration of church and state.
The resolution recommends,
that Southern Methodists "ac
lively oppose the election of
Roman Catholic"

is taken with all loving kind

the old to the new, and move
imaginatively and boldly so
that we stay ahead in the old
as we'll as the new"
Top brass of the VFW, mean
while, whipped into shape plans
to see that Senator Kennedy,
the Democratic nominee for
President, gets a reception to-
morrow exactly like that given
Mr.. Nixon.
