Paradox in Education Aid Plan

Congress to make any law
respecting an establishment
of religion" has been con-
strued by the Supreme
Court to mean that the Fed
eral government must pur-
sue q policy Of separation
Of church and state" This
principle has been broadly
interpreted by some conSti-
tutional lawyers to mean
that the Federal government
cannot actually support the
teaching of any religion. But
it has also been held by
the Supreme Court Of the
United States that the "es-
tablishment of religion"
clause does not prohibit use
of tax money by the States
to pay for the Transports
ton Of students to parochial
schools. Similarly, the "GI
Bill Of Rights" under which
Federal money has been
furnished to those who served
in the armed forces in World
War II and in the Korean
War, has been generally con-
strued as o grant of assist
ance to the individual and
not as support Of any re-
ligiouS establishment when
such funds were spent in
church colleges and uni
versities.
To be logical. 1t would
seem that operations under
the "GI Bill Of Rights"
would have to be ended and
all States forbidden to grant
any scholarships to talented
and needy" students at the
college level who attend
church supported institu-
tionS. or else it would have to
be recognized that the taxes
Of all religious denominations
can be used not only to sup
port construction and build
ing facilities in public
schools but also in private
or parochial schools at all
levels, whether elementary
secondary or college.
The Presidents message
introduces a paradox that
needs to be clarified. at
least insofar as the consti-
tutional questions are con-
cerned.

1t Is a good thing to know

The President spoke
throughout the campaign last
autumn Of the immense chal-
lenge Of the 1960s. Since our
foreign program has been
largely confined to the field
OF the physical-arms, tech
nical aid. the construction OF
new plants, harbors, ETC., it is
good to know the SOS will see
a breakthrough in the form
Of educational and cultural
assistance. The new nations
know what the old ones took

The fundamental differ

is that our policy-makers are

lead to q "One World" gov

Our allies realize that in

in the survival Of the free

civilization. Others, such as

"A singular paradox has
emerged in President Ken
nedy's message to Congress
on the use of Federal money
for education. While these
funds would be authorized to
finance scholarships to stu
dents In the college Of their
choice without regard to
sex, race, creed or color" the
President says there would
be no Federal aid to mon
public" schools for construc-
tion or teachers salaries at
the elementary or secondary
school level.
Mr.. Kennedy points out
that exclusion of church
schools in the elementary or
secondary school category is
''in accordance with the
clear prohibition Of the Con-
Stitution." Presumably he Is
referring to the clause which
says Congress shall make no
law respecting an establish
ment Of religion"
But, it can be argued. If
the appropriation Of Federal
money for church schools at
the elementary and second
ary-school level is in viola
tion Of the Constitution, why
isn't 1t also unconstitutional
to appropriate money for
scholarship grants or con-
struction loans to colleges

Conversely. it can be con-

the States are to administer

This Is about one Of Presi-

amble is indicated.
In the late 1940S and
through most Of the sos, the
deepest yearning Of the ma
tons emerging from colo
nialism to independence was
for all that was symbolized
by q steel mill. 1t mattered
not that some had neither
the ores nor transport to
fetch and distribute them. A
steel mill meant all that is
contained in the word "in-
dustrialization,"
Today there Is still o de-
terTnined drive for industry.
But even stronger is the wish
for all that is syTnbolized by
a school.
Because Of this. 1t is posi-
BILE to say without exaggera-
