1.-THE American legislators to
make on the basis Of sound
evidence. If that evidence is
sound and If the voice of the
people is heard in a request
for Federal aid, then surely it
will come about.
But If it does, should not the
American people be concerned
about all Of the schools Of this
great Nation? If an intellectual
and scientific breakthrough is
to be realized, if excellence is
to be achieved, who can tell
whence will come the leader
ship for the Nation, from the
public schools, or from their
partners in education, the pri-
vate schools.
Notes College Aid
What can be done for the
private school and, in particu-
lar, the parochial school? We
have the courageous example
of Government aid to our COL
legeS without discrimination.
My petition today points up
the need to grant similar as
sistance to the elementary and
secondary schools by way of
long term, low-interest rate
loans, with the interest rate
computed on an annual basis.
To grant Federal assistance to
only part of the American
educational effort is to deny to
the other parts the chance to
grow. In fact it hinders
parents in that free choice of
education which is essentially
theirs. The Federal Govern
ment ought not to take any
steps which would force the
private schools out of busi-
ness or, in effect, to deny to
parents the right to choose
their kind Of schools.
We regard ourselves as an
enlightened democracy giving
leadership to Western civiliza-
ton, and yet others, lands,
guided by democratic prin-
ciples, have solved this problem
Of educational assistance and
have not been confused by
elements extraneous to the
main issue of human rights.
Systems of education under
the auspices of church groups,
subsidized in whole or a great
part by the government. are
operated with success in Eng
land. Ireland, Scotland, Bel
gium, Holland, several prov
inceS of Canada and elsewhere.
After all, the manner in which
the Government offers assist
ance can be so arranged that
the possibility Of any educa-
tional chaos or irresponsible
endangering Of the State Sys-
tenn or Of private systems can
be avoided.
Asks Balanced Thinking
I am here today to ask the
legislators to think in balanced
terms Of the problems before
us. for if Federal aid is neces-
sary, If 1t Is to come and if it
is to be granted to the States
and to public school systems,
then, in the interest of all of
our citizens I would urgently
plead for a consideration Of the
present plight and the future
needs Of our private schools,
especially our parochial schools.
In the name of educational
freedom they must be con-
tinued. Under the concept of
pluralistic society they must be
treasured and appreciated and
in the name of the common
good and the common welfare
they must be given all Of the
assistance which is constitu-
tionally acceptable.
1t is unthinkable that this

Marriage To Women

Chance Of Chorqe

John A. Wilson, 80, 300 Carroll
had a second degree assault charge
against him dismissed in district
court on January II when it was
learned that he had married the
victim, Virginia Robinson, 21, 794
Marshall.
On August "a, Wilson shot Vir-
ginia during an argument at 794
Marshall. Wilson was then charged
with second degree assault but it
was revealed to Judge Clayton
Parks that she had recovered and
married her assailant.
Wilson and his wife are now eS-
tranged However, Judge Parks
ruled that Wilson could forbid his
wife's testifying against him.
It was then decided by assistant
county attorney Stephen Maxwell
that without the wife's testimony
the state could not prove intent
which is necessary in a felony
charge.
The new charge of third degree
assault was substituted, Wilson
pleaded guilty and the case was
passed to February 7.

Coils 'MusIims"
xxx In Reverse

New York, NY. - Black Su-
premacy" and Discrimination
Against All Whites" are the slo-
gans Of little-xnown but rapidly
expanding religio-political move
ment which claims a quarter of
million followers among American
Negroes
Negro journalist William wor-
thy, writing in the February issue
of Esquire Magazine, takes a re-
vealing look at this Negro counter
part Of the Ku Klx Khan which
calls itself the Muslima
Vaguely oriented to the teach
ings Of the Koran, the Muslims
have as their leader Elijah Mu-
manned, who was born Elijah
Poole in Georgia in 1897. He has a
third grade education, an early his
tory Of residence in white" jails
and a violent hatred Of all white
men.
Ministers in the 20 Muslin Tenn
pies of Islam in major cities
around the country prophesy a
War Of Armageddon" within nine
years in which the black nations
Of the world will be victorious
over the white.
According to the Esquire article,
Federal authorities suspect the
Muslims Of being perilously close
to a violation OF the Smith Act,
which makes 1t a crime to advo-
cate the violent overthrow Of the
United States government.
Meanwhile Elijah Muhammed's
organization continues to have
wide appeal for many semi-ilIter-
ate Negroes equipped with no
special sldlls who find themselves
rejected not only by the white man
but also by most other Negroes.
Esquire quotes historian Arthur
Schlesinger, Jr., as saying the
blame for the movement lies not
with the Negroes, but with the
whites. White Americans have
brought this on themselves" he
says, land the responsibility can't
be evaded by attacking the Mus
Inns"

Obviously feeling they have
been taxed enough, Maryland
boatmen yesterday mustered
100 to Opposition to a new
tax proposal and thereby de-
feated it.
The House Ways and Means
Committee voted unanimously
against giving local govern
ments the authority to impose
q personal property tax on all
boats under 100 feet long.
The State Association of
County Commissioners had
asked the Legislature to give
the subdivisions the right to
reinstate q State tax repealed
in 1854.
Only proponent at a COM
mittee hearing, however, was
H. T. Slaughter, president of
the association. BY contrast,
100 boat owners were present
to protest. Many others were
represented by the Chesapeake
