Oath Ruling Raises Questions

istic sense. From the time
Of our earliest history our
peoples and our institutions
have reflected the traditional
concept that our Nation was
founded on a fundamental
belief in God.
ION July 4, 1776. our Found
ing Fathers proclaimed our
Declaration Of Independence
which no less than four times
refers to the existence Of the
Creator. :.
This same document ap-
peals to the Supreme Judge
of the world that this Ma
ton be free, and pledges our
Nation to support the decla-
ration with a firm reliance
on the protection Of Divine
Providence
1.-THE Supreme Court has
clearly indicated that the
references to the Almighty
which run through our laws,
our public rituals, and our
ceremonies In no way flout
the provisions Of the First
Amendment. In so constru-
ing the First Amendment,
the court pointed out that,
If this recognition Of the Al
mighty was not so, then even
a fastidious atheist or ag-
nostic could object to the
way in which the court itself
opens its sessions, namely,
God save the United States
and this honorable court"
What a pity that the Su-
preme Court on June 10 last
didn't follow the reasoning
cited by Congress instead Of
arbitrarily reversing the rul-
ings of the high court in the
past! Maybe it's time for the
Supreme Court justices to
re-read carefully the warn
ing given by George WASH
ington in his farewell address
in 1876:
Let 1t simply be asked,
where is the security for
property, for reputation, for
life, II the sense Of religious
obligation desert the oaths
which are the instruments
Of investigation in courts Of
justice? And let us with eau
ton indulge the supposition
that morality can be main,
tanned without religion.
Whatever may be conceded
to the influence Of refined
education on minds Of pecu-
liar structure, reason ana
experience both forbid us to
expect that national moral
ity can prevail in exclusion
Of religious principle"

Damage From the Reeves Case

Words like drift" and
sloppy" have been used al
ready to describe the han
ding Of some legislation and
appointments.
Apparently 1t was not diff
cult for Carl Shipley, chair
man Of the District Repub-
lican State Committee, to get
a line on Mr.. Reeves tax
problems. Mr.. Shipley was o
vigorous witness in opposition
before the District Commit
tee.
Charges Of prejudice are
not In order here. Mr.. Ship
ley was one Of q select group
Of Republicans who actively
1obbied Republican legisla-
lures to give the District a
voice in the election Of the
President ana Vice President.
To repeated complaints that
its large Negro population
would surely make it Demo-
cratic always, Mr.. Shipley
Stoutly replied that all Dis
trict citizens were worthy of
the vote and his party should
take its chance on winning
their favor.
It Is the firm belief Of
many political observers here
that Washington is loaded
with qualified Negroes. It is
all the more puzzling that
somebody didn't do his home
work on Mr.. Reeves, so puz-
cling as to be almost sus-
piciouS in itself.

from conversations with not
only government officials but
also newspapermen, business
men and others who reflect
the thinking Of Europe IN
the early summer of 1861.
The orderly and continued
European economic boom de-
Scribed by many as the mir
acle Of the century, contrib
utes greatly to Europe's de-
termined stand. People who in
the past had nothing and
hoped for very little, find
themselves now on top of the
heap. The standard of living
Of all Western Europeans is
high-maybe not by Ameri-
can standards which seem to
demand two television sets
in every home and Two cars
in every garage-but by their
far less exacting standards
which only require good meals
cooked by mama; some lei
sure to attend sport shows or.
in Rome, to listen to music
on the Piazza del Popolo or
other huge squares, or a
motorcycle with sidecar in
which to pack the family for
a Sunday outing.
With the exception Of West
Germany, only 10 years ago
there was only hopelessness
and moral fatigue wherever
you went on the continent.
Today there is a real over
all well being which the
masses don't want to lose and
are willing to fight for. Com
munism loyal to the Kremlin
has receded everywhere. In
Italy, for instance, there are

continuation of the present
Christian Socialist govern
ment which has been in office

This reporter was told by
an industrialist, who like so
many in this country is play
ing footsie with the Com
munist Party, that last year
one of the leading industries
made an agreement with the
Soviet government to sell and
install Italian machinery for
a Russian factory. The COM
pick machinery required ex-
pert Italian workers to spend
six months in Russia to fami-
liarize Russian workers with
it. Although 80 per cent Of
the 100000 workers are en-
rolled in the Communist
Party and 80 per cent of
the foremen are members,

Meeting Set
OnHospitols'
Master Plan

Civic leaders for the WASH
ington Metropolitan Area will
be asked to join medical and
health authorities in discussing
the feasibility Of a master plan
for hospitals at a meeting July
IL at the District Building.
The Health and welfare
Committee of the Washington
Metropolitan Regional Confer
ence, which met yesterday in
Silver Spring, decided to ar
range q discussion among rep
resentativeS Of nearby counties
and the District to explore the
problems Of regional planning
for health facilities.
Frank j. Lastner, chairman
Of the committee and also q
Prince Georges County Com
missioner, described the gather
ing next month as the first Of
a series designed to ask COM
munity leaders how they feel
such a master plan could be &C
complished.
The proposal has been under
consideration in the regional
conference for some time, but
additional impetus was pro-
vided last week by President
Kennedy, who expressed inter-
est in the development Of a
hospital plan for the area.
In a letter to Secretary Ribi-
coff Of the Health, Education
and Welfare Department. the
President indicated that the
Federal Government was con-
cerned with planning such
health facilities because
Federal funds may be involved
in hospital construction.
Assistant Surgeon General
Jack c. Haldeman, chief of the
division Of hospital and medi-
cal facilities Of Public Health
Service, said that the need for
master planning has been in
tensified by the population ex-
plosion Of the past decade, and
urged that a planning group be
organized and in operation by
January, 1862.

Europeans Are Viewed as Determined
To Fight if Need Be for Political Survive

ROME, Italy.-That the
great international problems
which threatened to engulf
the Communist and Western
blocs in a major crisis only
a couple Of months ago are
taking a vacation" is the
view of Italian diplomats and
those Of other major Euro
pean countries.
But this" they hastily
add, docs not mean that the
international situation has
improved substantially in
any respect"
The Berlin problem, while
temporarily showed into the
background, is still a serious
danger which may develop
this fall after the West Ger
man elections. None Of the
other matters created by
Moscow in the cold war are
anywhere near solution.
There are even some hard
ened European political lead
ers who are keeping their
fingers crossed and wondering
how long the present tight
unity between the United
States and continental Eu-
rope will last.
Despite President Kenne-
dys determined attitude dur
ing his European visit and
later In his official state
ments from Washington,
there is a certain apprehen-
sion that the appeasers and
co-existence advocates may
take advantage of the slight
est change of wind to get this
new American policy Of
negotiation but. no appease-
ment" off the track.
But what seems to encour-
age the European leaders, not
only in Paris, Bonn and Rome
but also in the capitals of the
smaller allies, is the fact that
Mr.. Kennedy seems Ito use
American youths expreSSion)
E to dig the vital Importance
of the closest possible under
standing and cooperation
with Western Europe.
For the first time since the
end of World War II, con-
tinental Europe is determined
actually and not only vocally
to fight, arms in hand, for
political survival. Not only
politicians, but also the man
in the street, appears to re-
alize that there have been too
many retreats before the Red
Moloch and therefore the
slightest step backward will
plunge the Western civiliza-
ton into an abyss from which
there can be no return.
This point Of view has been

There is full employment

ment has announced discon-

with chronic unemployment,
especially in the south, is
sending its men to these
countries where they can be
trained in factories and re-
turned to Italy within two
years If conditions require it.
For the first time in the
history Of this country, the
flow Of emigration across the
ocean has slowed consider
ably. Italian industry is
booming although there is
ample room for improvement
in the agricultural areas in
the south. Even a casual OBJ
server can feel the improve
mentS in conditions of
Italian workers. Those of

pean standards, at par with

Administration Is Believed Hurt
After Sincere Effort in Nomination

q Senate District committee
hearing when Mr.. Reeves
conceded he had paid de-
linquent Federal and District
taxes only after liens had
been filed.
Late yesterday the Presi-
dent withdrew Mr.. Reeves
nomination-at the later's re-
quest.
The details cannot be dis
missed by the most tolerant:
Mr.. Reeves Is q lawyer and
in his new position would
have helped to supervise the
tax affairs Of others. The
long-run damage Is truly
grievous, however.
The administration has
been damaged in its sincere
desire to accord status to
Negroes and elevate its able
members. Southern Demo-
Gratis who buck the President
in this effort are looking
very SNUG, indeed.
This is no mere embarrass-
ment. There are already signs
that Negro Democrats are
siding with Mr.. Reeves even
before the evidence is all in.
They have been confused by
the fact that an appointee
cleared by the FBI and
Secret 8 ervice - for Mr..
Reeves had been q staff aide
at the White House-should
suddenly be beset by this
problem just as he was about
to win greater honor for his
race.
Even If race were not in
volved, the President has
given fresh ammunition to
his critics who complain of
his administrative set-up.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Just 10 days ago the Su-
preme Court of the United
States ruled that it is un-
constitutional for the Fed
eral Government or any
State to require q belief in
the existence of God as a
qualification for public Of
flee.
Now the question has
arisen as to whether any IL
legality surrounds nearly
$50 billion in United States
currency bills and coins in
circulation - dollars, half
dollars, quarters, dimes,
nickels and pennies on which
are inscribed the words: I'm
God We Trust" A law of
Congress, passed in 1855, re-
quired that this phrase be
put on all new money issued
by the United States. For
80 years previously it had
been inscribed only on GER
tain silver coins, and not on
currency bills.
But there's a further COM
plication. Are oaths taken
heretofore by public officials
still valid? Is the law pre-
scribing the official oath of
office, as passed by Con-
gress in 1884, now unconsti-
tutional? This law provides
that "the oath to be taken
by any person elected or APP
! pointed to any office of honor
or profit either in the civil,
military or naval service"
must include the words, $50
Help Me God"
Furthermore, in almost
every court in the land and,
indeed. in hearings by every
committee Of Congress where
a witness Swears to "tell the
truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the TRUTH" the
oath concludes: $50 help me
God"
In its recent ruling, the
Supreme Court held that
requirement Of a belief in
the existence Of God" as a
qualification for public office
"unconstitutionally invades
the appellants freedom of
belief and religion and there
fore cannot be enforced
against him"
Are the oaths prescribed
by existing law, therefore, an
invasion Of the citizens
rights? What happens If a
witness before q court re-

posing attenuation, while try
ing to keep a public image of

istration has bowed to those
pressures."
The Republican position, he
said, Is that chronological
growth creates a demand for
more jobs than it makes obso-
lete.

fuses to be sworn, proclaim
ing that there is no God and
that such an oath is not
binding and is, in addition,
q violation Of religious free
dom? What action can the
court take to get truthful
testimony and at the same
time protect such a witness
against invasion of his free
dom of belief and religion?"
Is, in fact. the prescribed
oath binding upon a person
who denies the existence Of
God, and could a charge Of
perjury be prosecuted against
such a person who testified
falsely?
Also, was it an invasion Of
freedom of belief and reli-
gion" when the Congress in
1854 added the words under
God" to the pledge Of allegi-
ance to the flag Of the United
States which is now given
constantly in our schools and
elsewhere?
A formal report Of the Ju-
dietary Committee Of the
House Of Representatives in
May. 1854, just before the
passage by Congress Of an
amendment to include the
phrase under God" in the
pledge, said in part:
eat this moment Of our
history the principles under
lying our American govern
ment and the American way
Of life are under attack by
a system whose philosophy
is at direct odds with our
own. >.
"The inclusion of God in
our pledge therefore would
further acknowledge the de-
pendence Of our people and
our Government upon the
moral directions of the Gre
ator. At the same time, 1t
would serve to deny the
atheistic and materialistic
concepts Of communism with
its attendant subservience Of
the individual.

in 1892 that this is a relig-

this holding, more recently
in 1851 when 1t stated:
