PREFACE

The need for a compre-
h ensiv constitutional
statement or the Church
State issue in education
and its relevance to long
standing NCWC policies was
made wildly clear by the
statements and confusion on
these issues in this years de-
bate on Federal aid to educa-
ton.
On March %. 1861, the us.
Department of Health, Eduea-
ton and Welfare publicly is
sued its now widely read
Memorandum on the Impact
of the First Amendment to
the Constitution upon Federal
Aid to Education"
The NCWC Legal Depart
ment thereupon asked a
number of constitr<t i
scholars and lawyers for their
independent critical analysis
of the merits of that memoir
andum. The comments receiv-
ed in response to that re-
quest affirmed the necessity
of presenting to the public
a far more adequate analysis
of the constitutional issues
involved.
IT is OUR HOPE that this
study will serve to clarity
constitutional issues and to
cause a more widespread

than protection against blast
and can be highly effective. A
megaton yield weapon can
destroy the heart of a city.
But. A NEAR-MISS, up
wind, could also wipe out the
city's population. unless the
citizens know how to take adj
vantage of The time follow
ing warning of the burst of a
nuclear weapon in order to
seek previously identified and
previously prepared failout
shelter.
Another common objection,
of less depth, is that even if
a person survives for IA days
(the recommended duration
for which to prepare), there
would be no use in it, since
conditions would be unlivable
and survival would still be a
problem.
THIS OBJECTION FOR
GETS the fact that after the
threat of fallout subsidies, the
unlivable or shot" areas have
proven to be relatively small.
Survival would then be a prob
lem common to all, requiring
common solutions. such as
mass feeding, clothing and
shelter arrangements antici-
pated by Civil Defense plans.
More Importantly we are
taught by Catholic theologians
that everyone is obliged by
the Fifth Commandment of
God to use ordinary means to
save his life as long as he is
able to leave future contin-
gencies for later, or, to cross
the proverbial bridge at the
end of the IA days.
Others object that, granting
the need for shelter, there
would be no use in building
one at home since the hus-
band would be away at work,
the children at school with
not enough time to reach
home before an atomic blast.
First of all. home shelters are
not the only answer.
The system of protection
advocated by Civil Defense
officials would call for fall
out shelters for schools, bust
ness and industry as we'll as
public shelters, such as the

shelters in government build

CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL
To Build a Shelter?

the objection is the notion
that fallout shelters provide
protection from blast. Such
they do, to a degree, but since
their main effectiveness IS
against fallout, rather than
blast or heat. it is not neces-
sary for people to be in the
shelters at the time of the
blast to survive fallout, letlal
perhaps hundreds of miles
from a blast area.
o 1T IS
KNOWN from atomic testing
that a considerable amount of
time passes following a blast
before fallout becomes IN
tense. One half-hour to as long
as several hours is estimated,
depending upon the weather
and the location, size and.
type of the blast. In that
length of time anyone surviv-
ing the initial blast by taking
cover Immediately could at
least walk to his home shelter
ahead of the fallout threat.
Finally some would wait
for the government to build
the shelter for them, or wait
for subsidization with match
ing funds Or deductions from
income tax. Such citizens fail
to see that a shelter plan for
all Americans would cost an
estimated 20 billion dollars or
more, an impossible figure to
any government treasury.
The government is already
burdened by the staggering
costs of retalitiatory military
forces and defense, nuclear
research and testing and the
Civil Defense measures it has
already undertaken. The fl
nancial responsibility remains
on the private citizen, at least
for the moment.
Doctor Kern may we'll be
correct in his belief that Civil
Defense is of moral obliga-
ton. to take only ordinary
precaution to protect our
lives.
BUILDING A HOME
S r, admittedly, re-
mains an extraordinary means,
but these are extraordinary
times. What is extraordinary
today may become the ordin-
airy need in the future. Let US
pray and hope not, but mean
while, let us build them
while there is time.

THE LECTURES were we'll
prepared, interesting and pro-
fusely illustrated by visual
aids. The presentations we're
factual and logical with a con-
spicuous absence of panic

tremism.
Civil defense in its present
status seems to mean Civil
Defense is not only for Amer
lean citizens but by them as
well. Civil Defense offices on
the various levels provide the
information to the public for
what to do but do not take
the direct responsibility to
see that their plans are car
ried out.
THE STATE OR LOCAL
CD. director coordinateS gov
eminent emergency programs
and planning, but does not
command or control public
action. Such responsibility
rests on the individual COM
munity leaders, heads of
households, teachers, clergy
men and others to protect
themselves and those under
their charge.
Looking back on this course,
I assume the viewpoint of a
layman and maintain that in
the absence of community
shelter plans, the home fall
out shelter seems to be the
thing of the moment.
THE COST OF A HOME
shelter is not prohibitive to
anyone owning, buying or let
ting a residence, if a person
thinks not in terms of the ex-
pensive blast-resistant under
ground shelter, but rather of
the small, low cost basement
fallout shelter with a mini
mum protection factor of SO
that the government recon-
mends.
The objection made by some
that such shelters would be of
no avail in a real atomic dis
aster is refuted by Secretary
of Defense Mcnamara in his
statement to the Military OPP
erations Subcommittee of the

ment Operations: 81 want to

To provide a secular educa-
ton is unquestionably a pub
lie service and may be financ-
ed with public monies. 1t is
equally unquestionable that
secular education is provided
in private non-profit schools,
church-related as we'll as nom
UNCONVENTIONAL. Accordingly,
the U. S. Supreme Court has
held the public may provide
transportation for school chill
dren to private nonprofit
schools.
This study does not deal
with the constitutionality of
legislation which has finan-
cial benefit to church-related
schools as its primary pur-
pose or effect.
1t deals with the conStitu-
tionality of legislation which
aims at the promotion and
improvement of the educa-
ton necessary for the gener-
al welfare = our culture,
prosperity, and defense-and
which for these purposes
seeks to improve educational
opportunities in both public
and private nonprofit schools.
THE CRISIS
The Nationally felt need for
more and better education
has been spurred, first of all,
by the genuine fear that the
Free World, of which the
United States is the leader,
may be destroyed through
conquest, or may so far de-
cline in position relative to
Soviet power that it will in
evitably become subject to
communism.
ADDITIONALLY. o W.
EVER, there are other dy-
mamie factors related to a
fresh emphasis upon educa-
ton. It is recognized that
communism e-Ameri-
cans have important missions
to perform both abroad and
at home: Conquest of disease
and poverty and the improve
ment of cities, for example.
It should be noted that the
stress in leading recent pub
lie announcements upon ed
ucation is upon it as a ma
tional need to be rendered to
all. 1t is never suggested that

nomic or ethnic or income

Federal Aid To Education

group should be excluded.
1T WOULD BE UNTHINK-
ABLE, moreover, that an ex-
banded American educational
program would destroy GER
tain values and traditions in
American society without
which that society would be
no longer American.
The general increase of
scientific endeavor and know
ledge would in the end have
been achieved in vain if the
price paid for it were the
acceptance of a moral order
whose sole standard was the
will of the state and of a
pervasive conformity to a
State-imposed single culture.
While no position is here
taken respecting the need for
Federal aid to education, it
is apparent that two princi-
Piles should ideally govern an
American educational pro-
gram for the future:
l. II is in the national in
feresf thar every child have
the opportunity for an ed
Ucafion of excellence.
z. II is in fhe national in
terest that our moral heri-
rage be preserved, along
with our freedom TO acquire
education in diverse, non
state institutions.
In simple terms, this means
that every American child
should have equal opportu-
nifty, according to his talents,
to acquire the best education
possible, but to acquire it in
such school as he or his par
ents, in the exercise of their
judgment, deem most desir-
able, provided such school
meets reasonable state re-
quirements of intellectual and
physical competency.
TO ACHIEVE THIS objec-
tive, government need not be
restricted to a single tech
nique in selecting programs of
aid to education - such as
to extend aid through the in
stitution only, or solely
through parent or solely
through pupil.
If aid through institutions
is the selected means, then
aid should be given through
all institutions competent to
educate - unless ~constitu-
tional requirements plainly
dictate to the contrary.
1t is strongly intimated in
some quarters that non-State
schools somehow do not per-
form a public service, that
especially the church-related
schools are in some way alien
to America; and that all
which is non-state inherently
has no standing to receive
state support.
This view, far more than
clear constitutional objection,
lies at the heart of much of
the controversy over aid to
church-related education.
BUT TO EXPOSE THIS
view by plainly stating it is
to scotch it, since it is inn
mediately apparent not only
that it attacks the great
American tradition of popu-
lar, church-related schooling,
