the question by pretending
that it has so many meanings
as to be meaningless.
What precisely does the in
quisitor mean by "favorite?"
The actress he likes best per-
sonally, as an artist, or COM
bination of both2
Our favorites under any, or
all of those headings, come
in clusters. AS individuals and
artists we like so many. Shirley
Booth, Julie Harris. Helen
Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, and
Deborah Kerr, arranged alpha
betically, and a number of
others.
At gunpoint, or even under
less of a strain, we could name
an actor as our favorite. At
least among actors, he is the
one we feel most at ease with,
a chap name of Eli Wallach.
Once in a while we even drop
each other a card, which, of
course, will never be collected
and published.
Actors aren't a sex to which
we give much thought, how

the place where the Lord suf-
fered and died. It's going to
be the most won ierful thing

wife were vacationing.
DR.. Jackson's words, proudly
spoken, under related to dar-
ing and progressive project
which Negro Baptists, under
his leadership, have under,
taken to bring the significant
aid to the beleaguered people
of tent cities in Fayette and
Hayden Counties, Tennessee.
The Convention has purchas-
ed 400 acres in Fayette Coun-
ty and 200 in Hayden on which
homes will be built for Negro
families driven off their land
and deprived of their homes
in a retaliatory economic
purge to punish them for their
inSistence on exercising their
right to vote.
In the exclusive interview,
DR.. Jackson outlined Conven-
ton plans to follow through
on and expand a giga tic self
help" program for Negro peo-
pie in crucial areas of the
South.
The plan has been labelled
by the denominations Board
of Directors 1.-THE J. H. Jack

Here is how it will work.
The Convention will finance
construction of homes. The
church group will be the land
lords. Those unfortunates
who once shivered in Free
dom Village will become pro-
ductive occupants of the new

by the Baptist body. Profits
from the venture will go into
improvements and expan-
sioh to other Southern areas
where economic pressures
have victimized Negroes.

people. The people will make
profits through their own mi

Sum and Substance:
What Started This
Federal Aid Debate?

natural resource, they should
be helped-especially in view
of the fact that the same
financial problems that hound
the public school system also
menace the parochial schools.
The core question then is:
how to help Catholic youth
within the legal bounds of the
First Amendment? II the cris-
is is so grim, the nation must
try to aid all youths.
IN THE WEEKS that have
interviewed since the President
offered his bill, we have heard
rather little about the emer-
gency in American education
but we have been subjected to
a barrage of radio, TV and
press lectures on tangential
topics. VIZ have been IN form
ed on the precise nature of
Jefferson's religion, on the
pressure tactics of the Cath
Ollie hierarchy, on govern
mental aid to religious schools
in Canada, the Netherlands
and other countries.
All of this is very interest
ing but the pressing problem
is how to help Catholic stu
dents here and now within the
limits of a ban on separation
of state that is far from alb
solute.

The old farmer was tell
ing a little boy about a
hunter who was chasing a
rabbit. The rabbit ran into
a barn, scared a cow that
overturned an Oil lamp and
set the barn on fire. The flsm-
ing barn ignited a farmers
house nearby and totally de-
Stroyed it. The boys only
comment was: did the hunt
er catch the rabbit"
In the current debate on
Federal aid to parochial
schools, we started out with a
certain question but lately
all kinds of other topics have
been creeping into the discus
sion. Many Of these topics are
of monumental Importance but
they seem to me to be rather
remote from the issue at
hand.
IN HIS PROPOSAL for aid
to education, President Ken
needy painted a grim picture
of our present educational
crisis and there was a note
of urgency in his plea to Con-
gress to do something quick
ly to help develop our pri-
mary natural resource, the
mind of American youth.
Our bishops suggested that
since Catholic youth is a con
siderable part of our primary
