Supreme Court UphoIds
Atheism In Oath Rule
BY David Lawrence

Atheism has been given APP
proval in theory by the Supreme
Court OF the United States as a
full-fledged religion" This ought
to make the Communists in Russia
very happy, but it is doubtful
whether it will be received with
enthusiasm by all other religions
in the United States.
The Supreme Court decided in
its ruling that the federal Consti-
tuition bars any religious test for
the holding of public office in
either state or the national gov
eminent A man who wanted to be
a notary public found himself dis
qualified by the Constitution of the
State of Maryland which requires
of all state officeholders that they
at least acknowledge "a belief in
the existence of God"
But was this religious test or
moral test? Atheism has no
formal religious pattern. In fact,
it is usually commended by its de-
tenders that it is the negatiOn of
religion. The state has a right,
of course, to prescribe for GER
tain posts the qualifications of an
individual. 1t can specify that he
must be a certain age and that
he must have a certain amount of
education as evidenced by college
degrees. 1t can require also that
ne must have lived in the state
4 certain period of time. Such
qualifications are relevant to
whether the other people in the
state will respect his other acts.
If an officeholder doesn't be-
lieve in God, he may or may not
be a person who believes in hon
csty OF morality. He may be some
one who doesn't believe in any
rules of moral conduct. He could.
perhaps believe that it was proper
for him to cheat or deceive. He
might not accept the Ten Com
mandments, for example, as neces-
sarily governing his conduct.
Hasn't state the right to de-

Is Your Name

Kahl. an old and honored sur
name. is of German origin. Al
though a search through num-
Der of the leading works on the
origin of names discloses no direct
reference to it, it is logical to as
sumo that it may be obtained from
the German "kahl' which signifies
bald or that it may be short
ened form Of the German surname
Kahler. In the former instance,
Kah! was applied, when surnames
first came into vogue, to persons
who were bald Kahler is trans
formation of the popular surnames
Kohler and Koehler which, accord
ing to authorities on nomencla-
ture. signified either charcoal
burner" or a newcomer to a COM

officeholder someone whose ideas
of morality deViate so sharply
from the general standards? Many
of the religions of the Middle East
and the Far East which are not
Judeo-Christian have common
faith in the existence of a Supreme
Being.
The question now arises whether,
under the latest S u p e m Q
Court decision, even a require
ment of law that an individual
shall express a belief in a "Su-
preme Being" would be held to
be a religious test" barred by
the Constitution.
1t is clear from a reading Of
colonial history that the farmers
of the Constitution had in mind
particular churches and church
establishments when they declared
that no religious test should be
required for public office. But is it
as clear that the founding fathers
wanted to make it possible for
atheists to hold office and to con-
duct the affairs of their fellow
men?
Maryland's highest court had
held in this case as follows:
'The petitioner is not compelled
to believe or disbelievc, under
threat of punishment or other
compulsion. True, unless he makes
the declaration of belief he cannot
hold office in Maryland, but he is
not compelled to hold office"
The Supreme Court of the Unit
cd States says that the fact that
he wasn't compelled to hold Of
flee is no excuse for barring him
and, therefore. in a unanimous
opinion. lays down "thc law of
the land" as follows:
I'VE repeat and again reaffirm
that neither a state nor the federal
government can cOnstitutionally
force a person to profess a be
lief or disbelief in any religion.
Neither can constitutionally pass
laws nor impose requirements
which aid all religions as against
non-believers, and neither can aid
those religions based on a belief
in the existence of God as against
those religions founded on differ
ent beliefs"
The trouble with the latest Su-
preme Court decision is its lack
of definition 1t makes all persons
eligible for public office - so far
as any religious or morality test
is concerned - by forbidding SUCH
a requirement to be included in
the laws imposed by the state or
federal government. This is tanta-
mount to saying that person who
says he would not accept the pro-
hibitions enumerated in the Ten
Commandments - if some of the
states of the union set these UP
as a test for public office -
could be protected by the Consti-
tuition An applicant might be
asked whether he believes in the
right to kill or the right to steal,
but if he refuses to say he is
against such doctrines, could it
then be argued that the state is
imposing a religious test for
public office?
The Constitution, moreover,
doesn't mention the word God"
but nearly all officials or mem
bers of Congress or judges who
take the oath of office usually
end it by saying, $50 help me
God" Will it now be argued that
president of the United States
or chief justice who is sworn
in must not mention the word
God" lest he offend the citizens
who do not believe in God? Must
the oath hereafter he confined to
the language of the Constitution
itself and nothing else? The SUI
preme Courts latest decision
leaves unanswered more questions
than it answers.

MY uedF IFleHuS,
Another week has gone by and
there is yet much to do as far as
getting the Congress going on a
full scale is concerned.
Most of the Congressman are
getting a little edgy. We have
been in session now for almost a
month and we still don't have our
committee assignments. They are
promised for the near future, but
/ have learned to wait and see. "
/ have been keeping busy, for
| am a member of the Committee
on Committees. This committee
is charged with the responsibility
of assigning the various Con.
gressmen to committee posts and
then recommending that the
Speaker of the House, Mr.. Ray
burn, appoint them to that COM
mittee.
am also a member of the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee,
so, all in all, / have been keeping
my nose to the grindstone.
The Rules Committee fight is
over and the Rules Committee
has been enlarged. / voted for
keeping the committee at the
same number as it has been for
the past number of years. l was
afraid that by enlarging the
committee the gag rule might be
applied. Those who favored en-.
larging the committee said that
this would not happen and that
they only wanted legislation to
get to the Floor of the House for
debate and vote. / certainly do
not object to any piece of legis,
lation being brought to the test
of debate and / have no fear oil
going on record.
The Congress was divided or
this matter, for both Republicans
and Democrats crossed party
lines and the motion only carried
by five votes.
Getting a little closer to home
I am greatly concerned about the
Administrators proposal, thru
the recommendation of Secretary
of Agriculture Freeman and the
Task Force on Agriculture" to
extend and increase the Sol
Bank as a means" of handling
the farm surplus problem. Presi
dent Kennedy was opposed tt
this during the campaign, anc
now it seems that this very pro
posal might be adopted. l oppos
ed this type of legislation under
the Republican Administration
and will certainly oppose it un
der the present administration.

day that would extend the pres
ent Sugar Act. From the wore
that / received from the people
in Montana who raise sugar beet!

sion was necessary at the present
time. 1t has not, as yet, been de
cided what to do with sugar quot;

In the next few days, l will bt
