Praise Man-DOg
In Night Fight

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
I. too, read the story of the
! fight of the beaver and the dog
and regretted that the beaver
had to die. But why the account
has called forth such criticism
cannot understand.
First, let me praise Mr.. Har-
vey for the concern he showed
fer his dog. What else would
have kept him out in the cold of
winter night for two hours?
Certainly nothing in the article
pictured him as a person who
| stayed there because he enjoyed
animals fights.
Next. may I compliment his
good sense in watching from a
safe distance? 1t is not wise to
get in the way of a fighting dog.
And now may I ask the critics
exactly what they would have
done in the same situation?
Would they have gotten out of a
warm bed In the early morning
hours to see what was going on
outside? When they learned
their dog was fighting an un-
known animal, would they then
have gone back to bed? Or
would they have stayed near to
help the dog if they had the
chance?
Would they have shot at the
strange animal as it and the dog
plunged in and out of that wav-
ering flashlights CLEAN"
which could no longer have been
following" while their hands
aimed the gun? If they had de-
cided against attempting to
shoot, how would they have
ended the struggle?
Would they have felt better
about the matter if the beaver
had killed the dog? Or would
the event have been more to
their liking had the beaver at
tackled the man who dared to 90
out into his own back yard to
see what was happening?

Lines Between Isrns
So Thin They Blend

Editor of Herald:
On February l6. 1861 there Up
peared in the Lynchburg News
letter from Arthur P. Jacoby.
Sweet Briar. Va. unfolding the
decision of the Supreme Court in
1854 based on Gunnar Myrdal's
socialistic doctrine. Mr.. Jacoby's
letter attacked Mr.. Ed Felty's
letter which appeared in the
Lynchburg and Farmville papers
exposing the intentions and mo-
tives of Gunnar Myrdal's treat
Use.
l would like to comment as a
veteran of WV II, as a member
of the American Legion and as a
member of Disabled American
Veterans.
First the public should know
that the U. S. Supreme Court
left the real law of prior de-
cisiOns and the doctrine that
could never be Outmoded, name
ly; that Separate but Equal Fa-
cilities met the constitutional
guarantee of liberty for any citi-
zen. In turn they used as basis
for their decision the rankest
sOcialistic treatise that could be
found. and that treatise written
by foreigner. With this in mind
one can readily see the chaos
that would follow and has fol-
lowed. when the Supreme Court
deviated from hard and fast law
which conformed to society. and
set up precendent to change So
ciety and the southern way of
life to conform to a sociaistic
doctrine.
AS to Gunnar Myrdal's inten-
tons. his writings clarity his mo-
tives. You may be sure that Mr..
Felty knows whereof he writes
and there will be more from him.
The quote that is an insult to
any true American citizen that
appeared in Mr.. Jacoby's letter
is as follows: The $50 year old
Constitution in many respects is
impractical and ill-suited for
modern conditions. I am taking
this occasion to say, sir, that
KhruShchev has the same idea.
If the American public does not
wake up to the fact that the line
between socialism and commun-
ism is so thin that one blends
into the other. they are in for
rude awakening to see the red
banner flying over the Capitol of

I have been hearing of this
train since my earliest recollec-

of it.
l have just sent the article to
my uncle. DR.. John Jeter Hurt,
81. of Atlanta. Ga. He recalls,
when a small boy. the train was
new and he went to the village
for the mail and having Is cents
in his pocket decided to ride to
Belona and walk back home
about 5 miles. He proceeded to
do this and said he would have
gotten away with it if another
brother hadn't asked where his

out of the window.

KENNEDY:

Federal Aid TO school children con-
fir1ued to stir comment this week. Here
is a cross section of opinions:
President Kennedy said his admins
tration will be happy to cooperate with
Congress in considering the question of
providing loans to parochial schools and
tax exemptions for parents who pay tut
ton for children going to private schools.
HOWEVER, he STATED that he hopes
Congress will complete action on his program
of providing Federal aid exclusively to public
elementary and high schools before taking up
the. question of private schools.
The President told a press conference
March 15) that once the public school aid
program is out Of the way, the administra-
ton will be delighted to cooperate with Con-
gress on what constitutional aids can be given
private elementary and high schools.
The President has proposed to Congress
a three-year program of $2.3 billion in grants
for either public school construction or teach
ers' salaries. Nonpublic schools are not in
cluded.
CATHOLIC SPoKESMEN have appealed for
long-term, low-interest loans to private schools
for classroom construction. They have asked
Congress to incorporate such a program into
the administrations proposals. The President
has opposed inclusion of the loans in the
administrations bill.

TV DEBATE:

A Jesuit educator and an American Jewish
Congress spokesman took opposite sides on the
constitutionality and desirability of Federal aid
to private and parochial schools in a national
ly televised debate.
Father Neil G.. McCulskey, 81, dean of
education, Gonzaga University, Spokane, Wash,
appealed to Americans for a recognition of
the threat to private education to Americans

ucation~ many Catholics see in massive Fed
eral aid to public schools exclusively.
Leo Pfeffer, national director of the Jewish
organizations Committee on Law and Social
Action, described himself as an advocate of
absolute separation of Church and State"
He criticized the Catholic Bishops request to
Congress for loans to schools as "a gimmick."
Father McCluskey argued that the same
crisis seen by advocates of Federal aid to
public schools exists in private schools which
enroll more than six million children.
Yet, he said, these children are overlooked
in current Federal aid proposals. He said

Anti-Clergy
Acts Mount
In Red Cuba

Three new instances
have been reported of
persecution of Catholic
priests by Premier Cas-
tro's Cuban government.
One incident happened at
the town of Palos in Havana
Providence. A C~astroite mob
tried to kill Father Adolfo
Ruiz Angoitia, parish priest
of PaloS and the two nearby
towns of Veguitas and Nueva
Paz, when he defied the mob's
orders not to say Sunday
Mass.
The mob. many of whose
members were armed with
knives, attempted to attack
the priest. They were driven
off twice by members of the
Palos congregation, assisted
by groups of Catholics from
Nueva Paz who had come to
defend their pastor. FIR. An.
gotta was finally rescued and
taken to Havana.
IN THE SECOND incident,
Castro's defense ministry said
it had captured a Catholic
priest whom they charged
with being a member of the
anti Castro rebels in the Es-
cambray mountains S. The
priest was identified as Faith
er Francisco Lopez Blasquez.
The government said he
was captured in Trinidad in
Central Cuba. 1t said a man

ems to price private education out of the
market.
He ADVOCATED long.term loans, such as
recommended to Congress by the National
Catholic Welfare Conference, and income tax
credits for tuition costs as legitimate extern
sions of present governmental recognition and
aid to private schools.
Mr.. Pfeffer said Catholic requests for Fed
eral aid, even in the form of repayable loans,
represent the most serious assault upon sep
aration of Church and State in the nations
history.
He SAID CATHOLIC requests would force
non-Catholics to support ~parochial schools

The attorney proposed plan under which
~parochial school students would attend pub
lie schools for secular subjects and go to
church-related schools for classes in subjects

liefs.

said he thought that if local communities can
