become more heated almost
daily.
That the emotions now be-
ing aroused will spill over
into the 1862 campaign no
politician now doubts. Par
ticularly in the House, it
could mean fewer Kennedy
supporters for the last two
years of his term and 1t Is
already apparent he now has
none to spare.
Should he prove less and
less able to produce on his
campaign promises, his
troubles could mushroom
dangerously in 1864, even
though he is the incumbent.
Unquestionably, too, the stu
alton has a potential of great
bitterness as between Prot
estants and Catholics.
That potential cuts across
both parties as it is a mat
ter not so much Of party as
Of conservative versus lib
eral opinion and of religious
loyaltieS. 1t would be ex-
tremely difficult to chart the
possible results in geographic
terms but a few facts are
clear.
One is that Mr.. Kennedy
and the Democrats would
bear the biggest brunt Of it
as they have a very large
voting strength in key areas

of Catholics. Also the vast

dorsement Of all President
Kennedy's statements on this
issue at his press confer
ences. For it is evident that
the constitutional barriers are
not as clearly drawn as he
implied. In fact, Mr.. Wilcox
says:
ut Is also likely that where
funds are made available to
a church school on a loan
basis for special purposes
not closely related to reli-
gious instruction, constitu-
tional objections may be-
avoided"
An example is then given
of an existing law of Con-
gress which, as Mr.. Wilcox
says, enables church schools
to borrow funds for equip
ment to assist in teaching
science, mathematics and
languages. He adds: ,
"Such programs advance
specific national purposes,
and their relationship to the
religious function of a church
school is remote. Moreover,
the requirement tn at such
funds be repaid makes it un-
likely that a church school
will be enabled to free its
own funds for religious pur-
poses."
Supporters Of aid to paro-
chial S c hools by means Of
loans for construction now ask
what is the difference be-
tween the purpose served by
bricks and mortar in helping
the general cause of educa-
ton in parochial schools
both elementary and second
airy and the len ding Of
money for equipmen in
teaching certain subjects in
those same school buildings?
For certainly in parochial
schools general education is
taught in conformity with
standards set by State gov
ernments, while religious in
Struction is separate and
supplementary.
It is also being asked why
the President, in his recent
message to Congress, recon-
mended approval of Federal
loans for construction pur-
poses at colleges and uni
versities operated by religious
groups and didn't think this
was unconstitutional. while
he failed to give any approval
to Federal loans for construc-
ton Of parochial schools at
the elementary and secondary
levels.

On the other set. his do

long in Congress not to be
aware that dissent is its Sec
ond name. He knows, too,
that today's dissenterS In

And, finally, he well knows
that this is a hard Spring.
But, in the common express
sion, it surely is not getting

Evening star., 1961-03-29

Springtime in Washington
has suddenly become an
acute time Of test for the
still-new administration of
President Kennedy.
From the outside, foreign
criseS-in Laos and elsewhere
move implacably upon him.
From the inside, a conserva-
tive coalition of Deep South
erners and Republicans in
the House of Representatives
offers determined challenges
to some aspects of his
domestic program.
This, indeed, will be a
Spring he will long remem-
ber. For his third month
in office Is confronting him
with a larger complex of
mixed questions than any
President of recent memory
has had to meet all at once.
Fate and circumstances
have put an end to that
period in which the President
seemed to be skimming along
with such ease over the sea
Of his problems. Now, he is
sailing against the tide, both
as captain of this Nations
foreign affairs and as skipper
Of a Democratic crew which
in home policy sometimes
thinks it knows the better
where the ship ought to go.
The President. moreover, is
compelled to walk a thin line
between using persuasion and
flatly applying the naked
power of the Presidency
against dissident Democrats.
Some Democrats whose as
sistance he most requires
and obtains-on some issues
are the first to create diff
culties for him on other is
sues. Some Republicans who
are giving him the greatest
trouble in his domestic plans
are absolutely vital to him
in his foreign policy purposes.
He is in a situation where
the world is increasingly in
dangerous turmoil in pre-
cisely those days and weeks
in which he must develop his
domestic leadership. The only
wholly favorable news he has
had Of late is from the home
economy. There are accumu-
lating signs that the business
slump is drawing to it's close.
Thus it is that these are
far from restful days to the
man in the White House. His
schedule is necessarily a hur-
ried, crowded blend. At one
moment he meets and deals
with one Of the worlds pow
erful men-a British Prime
Minister, an African Presi-
dent. a Scandinavian leader.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Word has gone forth on
Capitol Hill that Speaker
Rayburn is preparing to
block any effort to include
Federal aid to parochial
schools in the general edu-
cation measure when it
comes to the floor of the
House of Representatives.
The idea is to rule that the
proposed amendments would
not be "germans."
While this may avoid
political embarrassment to
some Of those members Of
the House who are afraid Of
resentments in their home
districts, whichever way they
vote, it probably will deprive
the American people never
theleSs of an opportunity to
see a record vote on this con-
troverSial issue. 1t could have
a far-reaching effect on the
1862 congressional campaign.
Meanwhile, the debate by
constitutional lawyers goes
on. Representative McCor-
mack of Massachusetts,, Dem
ocratic leader in the House.
put into the Congressional
Record a few days ago a re-
port prepared at his request
by Arthur E. Sutherland,
professor of constitutional
law at Harvard Law School.
1t differs from the view ex-
pressed by President Ken
nedy in his message to Con-
greSS and later at q press
conference when he declared
that aid to parochial schools
at the elementary or Secon-
Diary level is clearly unconsti-
tutional. Prof. Sutherland
concludes that the differ
ence between existing Fed
I eral aid programs to sec
tartan schools and the pro-
posal to permit Federal loans
for construction are not
enough to persuade him that
"a measure providing for
long-term loans Of the char
acter which I have described,
to aid education in basic lay
subjects, would conflict with
the provisions Of the first
amendment"
Prof. Sutherland also draws
attention to an opinion in
1880 by Chief Justice Hughes
-concurred in unanimously
by the other Justices Of the
Supreme Court of the United
States-which upheld a Loui-
Evening star., 1961-03-29

siana law granting money to
provide textbooks on general
education free in all schools,
sectarian' as well as nonsec-
tartan, private as well as pub
lie. The Chief Justice quoted
with approval from the opin-
ion Of the Supreme Court Of
the State Of Louisiana, which
had said in part:
1.-THE school children and
the State alone are the bene-
ficiaries. 1t is also true that
the sectarian schools, which
some of the children attend,
instruct their pupils in re-
ligion, and books are used for
that purpose, but one may
search diligently the acts,
though without result, in an
effort to find anything to the
effect that it is the purpose
Of the State to furnish re-
ligious books for the use Of
such children"
Then Chief Justice Hughes,
speaking on behalf of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States. went on to say:
THE legislation does not
segregate private schools, or
their pupils, as its benefici-
aries or attempt to interfere
with any matters Of exclu-
sively private concern. Its in
tereSt is education, broadly;
its method, comprehensive.
Individual interests are aided
only as the common interest
is safeguarded."
Since the highest court In
the land says that when q
State furnishes free text
books to all schools-public
and private-it is constitu-
tional, the question now is
being asked why a Federal
or State loan to construct a
school building isn't also a
broad and compresenSive in
terest in aiding the educa-
tional process rather than q
specific aid to any religion.
The latest development in
the controversy is the isSu-
ance Of a brief just submit
ted to the Senate subcom-
mittee on education by Alan
son w. Wilcox, general coun-
sci Of the Department Of
Health, Education and We'll

they were served coffee, cookies
