School Aid Debated

A letter from Bartholomew
J. Merella makes a plea for
Federal aid to private and
parochial schools. No one
can discount the need for
aid to education in general,
but there are sound and COM
polling reasons for excluding
private and parochial schools
from any Federal or State aid
programs.
General Grant in 1875
made the following statement
to the Grand Army of Ten
neSsee on the subject of aid
to schools: Encourage free
schools and resolve that not
one dollar appropriated for
their support shall be appro-
priated for the support Of
any Sectarian schools. Re-
solve that neither the State
nor the Nation. nor both
combined. shall support in
situations of learning other
than those sufficient to af-
ford every child growing up
in the land the opportunity
Of a good common school
education, unmixed with sec
tartan. pagan, or atheistical
dogmas. Leave the matter of
religion to the family altar,
the church, and the private
school supported entirely by
private contributions. Keep
the church and state forever
separated"
In each one Of the sepa-
rate State constitutions of
the so States of the United
States it is forbidden to grant
tax-raised funds for the sup
port Of church or parochial
schools. Is it a coincidence
that so State legislatures or
constitution writing bodies
made this provision or is
there a good reason for it?
The separation of church
and state in the Uni t e d
States has produced a nation
where all religions have
flourished with a minimum
of friction. Can any individ-
ual seriously contend that
the competition of various
religious groups for funds for
their parochial schools will
not produce religious fric-
ton in this Nation? Can any
individual honestly say that
Federal grants to religious
elementary and high schools
will not weaken the public
school system? In Holland
where aid is provided to both
religious and public schools.
the elementary public schools
now enroll less than 80 per
cent of the pupils.
The control of education is
the control of great power
and it belongs under the con-
troll OF the people through
their elected governments. II
the tax money of the people
helps pay for the support Of
a school system, the people

steps are taken by Mr.. khru-
shchev to halt his present
program of nuclear tests, the
United States will be forced
to begin nuclear tests in the
atmosphere. Indeed, the
firmness of the United States
on this subject has been
stated several times. There
is no indication that the
Kennedy administration in
tends to back down on this
position. The President will
have the whole country back
of him.
Other nations have taken
up the demand that the Rus
sian Communists put an end
to their program Of A-bomb
tests in the atmosphere.
Many already are alarmed
at the increase in fallout
and pollution Of the air re-
sulting from their explosions
this fall.
To Be Assembly Issue
The General Assembly's
Political Com mittee will
bring this subject before the
Assembly itself in one form
or another. Even If the As
sembly and its committee
should vote a ban on nuclear
tests, the question still would
remain whether Russia
would be governed by it. 1t
seems entirely clear, and
should be to all members of
the United Nations, includ-
the so-called neutralist
group, that Mr.. Khrushchev
by his resumption of nuclear
tests has increased the dan
ger Of war. Six nations which
are near the area Of the So
Wet nuclear testing have
prepared a resolution for the
U.N. Assembly calling on
Premier Khrushchev to can
eel his plans to explode a So
megaton bomb before the
end Of october. The resolu-
ton is sponsored by Canada,
Denmark, Norway. Iceland,
Sweden and Japan. IN
doubtedly. it will have strong
support If and when it comes
to the floor for action. Other
nations. including some Of
the Asian-African countries.
have expressed their concern
over this latest threat of the
Russian Premier. Undoubt-
eddy many Of these will 60
along in support of this reso-
luton.
1t remains to be seen
whether Mr.. Khrushchev will
go ahead with this effort to
bluff the world into submits
sion. There is strong reason
to believe that he does not
want actual war. He may,
however, be facing a retreat
or war. Adlai Stevenson, in
his statement at the meeting
Of the General AsSembly's
Political Committee on
Thursday. made it clear the
United States will take all
steps necessary to protect
its own security and that of
the world community.
The second problem-the
selection Of a new Secretary
General Of the U.N. must be
solved satisfactorily II the
U.N. is to continue to ope-
rate. 1t has been many weeks
since the death Of Dag Ham,
marskjold. Secretary Gen.
eral.

Replies to President

In regard to Presiden t
Kennedy's Chapel Hill speech
and with all due respect
I hope our President will not
be impatient with the many
Americans who are neither
frantic, frenzied. nor faint
hearted. but who still feel
that resort to nuclear war
fare would be extreme. They
are simple human and hu-
name Americans incapable
of facing threats to our chill
dren and those of the world.

Soon after the Supreme
Court decision of 1854. which
ordered degeneration. the
Legislature OF Virginia en-
acted a law designed to put
into practice what was called
massive resistance" to this
decision. It failed.
Device No. 2, was that un-
dertaken by the School Board
OF Prince Edward County,
whereby tuition grants were
made to white students, for
their education in private
schools. Ironically these
grants were paid out OF pub
lie school funds, part OF
which was derived from
taxes, paid by the very people
whose children did not get
grants and were deprived OF
school benefits. The Federal
courts struck this device
down.
And now comes a device
created by the recent session
OF the Legislature, the COM
mittee on "Offenses Against
the Administration of Jus
tice" The criminal statutes
OF the State make ample pro-
vision for the punishment
OF those who commit acts
against the administration of
justice. such as bribery. per-
jury, tampering with juries,
harboring criminals. etc,
which laws are being en-
forced through its law en-
forcement agencies and
courts. Why then the need
OF this committee? It's pur-
poses and real detectives be-
come very transparent. as it
engages in raiding the law
offices of three Negro law
yerS in Norfolk seeking to
attach their private records.
The Federal court has
stopped this shabby practice
by an injunction against the
committee.
The offense for which these
lawyers have been subpoenaed
to appear before the COM
mittee for questioning is that
they have petitioned the
courts many times. through
orderly judicial procedure, to
redress their fellow Negroes
for the deprivation of their
civil rights and the protec-
ton to them of certain ele-
mentary rights as human be-
ingS. Justice has been de-
fined as the e-inspired re-
spect for the personality of
others, and their inalienable
rights" In the light of the
device Of the aforesaid COM
mittee. it would seem that it
is actually committing Of
lenses against the admins
tration Of justice.
The Presidents Commits
sion on National Goals in its
report submitted to Presi-
dent Eisenhower in Novem-
Der. 1860, said this:
The last stubborn barriers
to equal justice and oppor-
tunity to all Americans are
religious prejudice, handicaps
to women. and-above all
racial discrimination. These
must be recognized as moral
ly wrong, &c o n o m c q ly
wasteful, and in many re-
Spects dangerous. Respect for
the individual means respect
for every individual. Every
man and woman must have
equal rights before the law,
and an equal opportunity to
vote and hold office, to be
educated. to get a job and to
be promoted when qualified,
to buy a home and to parti-
cipate in com m unity af-
fairs"
l would commend the read
ing of this report to the
members of the committee.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Khrushchev's Bluff Must Be Called
By GOULD LINCOLN

The drive of the Soviet gov
erment Of Russia to control
the United Nations and use it
as a weapon to advance world
communism faces a show
down. At the same time, the
United Nations must fight for
its very existence. Not since
its creation in l945 and its
first meeting in London in
January, 1916, has the United
Nations been confronted by
graver problems. Unless it
can deal properly and ade-
quately with them. the result
may be the destruction of
this agency which has been
called the last best hope Of
international peace with JUS
tice. Among these problems
are a ban on nuclear weapon
tests, the election of a secre-
tary-general of the organiza =
ton and the admission of Red
China to membership.
Nikita Khrushchev, Russian
Premier. and his Communist
followers, by their intransi-
gence-their unwillirgness to
get down to any real adjust
ment Of these problems except
on their own terms-have so
far kept the world in a tur-
MOL. Mr.. Khrushchev has
made a great play to win sup
port to the many newly-ad-
mitted. ewly-independent
countries in Africa and Asia
as members of the United Ma
tions. However, his latest
moves designed to brighten
the Free World into submls-
sion - particularly his re-
sumption of the testing Of
nuclear weapons. now in It's
seventh week-appear To have
backfired. These rev men,
bers Of the United IIationS
are anxious to avoid third
world war just when they sre
beginning to make their way
in the world. They have
reacted unfavorably to the
nuclear tests.
L. S. Position
The Russian Premier's final
colossal threat to explode a
50-megaton bomb and build
another twice that size is
regarded correctly in this
country and elsewhere as an
attempt at international
blackmail of the crudest kind.
The consequence is that the
General Assembly's Political
Committee decided to place
on its agenda a proposal
offered by India to ban
nuclear tests voluntarily and
at the same time to consider
a proposal Of the United
States and Great Britain for
a treaty banning such tests
and providing for proper in
spection to see that the treaty
is carried out. The Soviet's
proposal was to consider first
the whole question of dis
armament GLIDING the
elimination of nuclear veap-
ons and their testing. The
Russians have never been
willing so far to agree to in
spection. They still continue
that position.
The position Of the United
States as stated emphatical-
ly by Ambassador Adlai Ste
venson. this country's chief
spokesman at the U.N.. Is
that 1t will not go back to a
voluntary ban merely to
have 1t violated again by the
Russians. Mr.. Stevenson fur
Their has warned that If no

Old Store Has
 New Modern Look

Kraft's Hardware store, long a landmark in Kodiak, has been un- dergoing some facelifting recently that is transforming it from its historic characteristics to a modern store with up-to-date display of merchandise.
 The store announces remodel ling sale this week and invites the public to take a look at its new look"
 New lighting fixtures offer very adequate light and coupled with the new M & D display fixtures, makes it easy for the shopper to see what is available.
 The man responsible for the new look is Wally Nelson, hardware man of many years experience from Fairbanks, who came to Ko- diak some months ago to take charge of the harware department. It is under his direction all the changes have been made.
 Wally worked at various times for several hardware firms in Fair. banks, including Cooper's Hard. ware and Northern Commercial

Local Union Walks Out Thursday
Contract Asked In Union Strike

The first union strike in Farm
ville's history began this morn
ing Thursday as the Local or
ganization 238 of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
(ILGWU) began picketing the
Farmville Dress Company.
An estimated % of the 50 en-
ployees of the company were not
at their jobs. was the figure
given by Leonard Anderson,
president of ,the local garment
factory Of this figure. he said
several had called in and said
they were absent for reasons of
sickness. etc.t
The reason for the strike was
given by Martin Vest. of Roam

versy is no contract" he stated.
According to Vest and Mrs.
Madeleine Allen, business repre-
sentative of the union, the union
had a standard union contract
with Mitchell Garment Company
and the same con tra c t was
agreed to by Anderson, when he
purchased the company some Is

The union proposal for a new

Vest. 1t includes a demand for

rate of payment is Sis per hour,

The union proposal would keep
