Prof. Sutherland aptly
quotes from the concurring
opinion Of the late Justice
Robert H. Jackson in the fa-
NOUS McCOllum case, when
he said:I
"It is idle to pretend that
this task Is one for which
we can find in the Consti-
tuition one word to help us
as judges to decide where the
secular ends and the Sectar-
ian begins in education. Nor
can we find guidance in any
other legal source. It Is q
matter on which we can find
no law but our own pre-
possessions"
This is candor with q capi-
tai G. It emphasizes plainly
the dilemma that confrontS
the administration Of Presi-
dent Kennedy in the spring
of 1851 aS the Congress Of
the United States Is asked to
provide by law for the lend
ing Of money to some sectar-
ian institutions for construc-
ton purposes - something
that is as remote from the
teaching Of religion as Is the
use Of Government funds to
provide free bus Transports
ton for parochial-s0hool
children along with public
school children.
Congress. moreover, has o
right to get guidance from
the highest law officer in the
Government - the Attorney
General Of the United States.
It is his duty to defend or at
tack the constitutionality Of
any measure that does pass
which gives any form Of aid
to any sectarian institution,
whether at the college or ele-
mentary-school level, and
whether involving grants or
loans or the continuance Of

Stevenson's Impact at the u. N.

in such a policy. but the
effect Is the same when the
votes are needed.
Gov. Stevenson has had to
deal with this difficult di-
lemma. It Is a touchy one
and not easy to criticize.
Such q policy enables the
weaker nations not to offend
the Russians and makes 1t
awkward for the Americans
to be critical. The nonalign-
ment club, therefore, has
many members.
The rSovietS do not seem
to wish to destroy the United
Nations. but they most GER
tainly hope to make Of 1t
simply a debating club. When
the United Nations voted to
move into the Congo and
several hundred Soviet tech
nicianS were ordered to move
out, the Soviets saw the U. N.
could be an effective barrier
to its expanSionist plans In
Africa and elsewhere. This
they could not accept, thus
the determined effort to re-
duce the U. N. to impotency
insofar as its police powers
are concerned.
They will continue this
with consistent, If hypocriti-
cal zeal. They are about to
take over Laos and their pres
sure in the Congo is unre-
lenting, skillful and attrac-
tive in that they promise
much. They could, given the
opportunity. pour literally

soon dominate it and much

If Gov. Stevenson Is weary
and sometimes discouraged
when he goes back 10 the

vides, with o 16 to 18 hour

mystery about 1t at all.

WILLIAM S. WHITE

Like the old Marshall Plan
for Europe. the Kennedy Plan
for Latin America has a
tough and profoundly realis-
tic anti Communist political
motive beneath the generous
economic aid it offers this
hemisphere.
What President Kennedy
really intends to do is to halt
communism in Latin America
just as the Marshall Plan
largely halted it in Western
Europe in the period imme-
diately after the war. This is
to be done by making COM
munism politically as well as
economically unprofitable. If

ANTIQUE SEARCH PAYS OFF

PAXTON, Mass, Aug. IL
(AP).-One of the bedrooms
in the White House soon will
be the home of a hand-carved
sleigh bed that has been in the
possession of a Paxton family
since 1905.
The bed was purchased for
the White Hous. by the Fine
Arts Committee from Mr.. and
Mrs. Mervyn E. Richards. 1t is
made of inlaid mahogany over
wood. The head and foot of
the bed stand about 5 feet high
and are decorated by hand
carved swans, as are the sides.
II don't know who made the
bed or where it was made"
Mrs. Richards said, "but it was
brought into my family by an
ancestor in 1905 at Portsmouth,
N. H.
when I read that Mrs.
Jacqueline Kennedy had set
up this committee to search
for furniture of that period for

II was stunned when I re-

they would very much like to
add the bed to the collection.
