itself will cut down the size of
Democratic delegations. There are
White House "realists" who fear
that further alienation Of big city
voters Of the Catholic faith would
prove politically disastrous.
That Is one side Of the argument.
- -
The other side and one which
some Of the advisers do not seem
fully to, appreciate Is that the
school issue has become a test Of
the Presidents good faith with
millions Of other voters - Profess
tant, liberal, Jewish, independent.
These are voters who were per-
suaded by the Presidents remarks
to the Houston ministers about his
attitude on separation of Church
and State. They were impressed
by his pledge even to resign the
Presidency If there ever were in
irreconcilable conflict.
Many people voted for Kennedy,
believing in him, but still retaining
doubts about his ability to keep
his pledge. They resolved the doubt
in his favor on Election Day.
Events since then have relIindled
it.
For them the federal public
school aid bill is THE crucial test
for the President.
On the whole these are broad
minded citizens, not bigots. They
unquestionably regret that the re-
ligious issue has been re-injected
into the school aid fight. They UNI
derstand the deep feelings Of many
Catholic parents on the issue. They
note with great satisfaction that
there are just as many Catholic
lawmakers fighting for the Presi-
dents original position as there
are so-religionists fighting against
it.
While all these things are duly
noted, they would appreciate some
recognition Of the fact that the
issue cuts just as deeply on the
emotional side for Protestants and
others as 1t does for Catholics.
No one suggests that for the
President this is going to be an
easy issue to settle. The work re-
quired Is monumental. He win have
to convince some Of his own staff.
He win have to get on the phone
with members Of the House. He
may have to 60 on a nationwide
telecast to enlist popular support.
1t seems evident that his reputa-
ton for Leadership viii hinge as
much on what he does about
schools as any issue that Ia likely
to come during the rest Of his
Administration.

leaders OF p2renL-Leacner organ
izations stil feel uneasy. Some
ask: win the Administration ever
get going?
Politicians have long felt that
there were not many votes in pro-
viding funds for education and not
much money, either. School oper-
atoms whether they involve con-
struction or teachers salaries, are
usually watched much more close
ly than bodybuilding, which is
often a lucrative source Of political
capital, occasionally spelled CIR
AFT.
The politicians, Of course, could
be wrong. If they do nothing about
providing better schools for Amer
lean children, while quite properly
supporting our foreign aid spend
ing program, they may discover
that the question Of aid for public
schools is a torrid domestic issue.
1t is one that is not likely to go
away.
The question Of federal aid TO
the public schools has many facets.
The most explosive, Of course, is
whether to broaden it to include
aid to parochial schools.
So far as the facts about the
schools needs are concerned, they
have been told many times. There
has been overcoming, a decline
in the quality Of school personnel,
deterioration Of buildings and
equipment, inadequate training for
teachers and a lack of incentives
for entering the teaching profess
sion. On the whole, there has been
relatively little disagreement about
these basic facts.
But for the President there Is
another aspect to, the public school
bill. It Is one that has implications
for the next 31s years Of his Ad-
ministration as well his chances
of being more than a one-term
President.
The question IL this: Has he the
determination to fight the school
issue out with those conservatives
who do not want any federal aid
for schools and those members of
his Church hierarchy who feel that
it Is now, or maybe never, on get
ting federal funds for parochial
schools?
1t is easy to put this problem
down on paper, it Is less easily
solved.
There are some presidential adj
visers who feel that a fight with
Catholic church officials and also
conservative politicians would
jeopardize the Democratic chances
of retaining control Of Congress
next year. When analyzed In terms
of votes In the big cities 1t could
cut both ways.

Proposals to increase the

Court Judge Matthew F. Nc
CURE by a six-man committee
Of prominent lawyers and

The idea behind the recon-

Is the other section still under

be laid in the canal for at least
part Of the distance.
After 1t passes Lock 10, the
sewer will go through the area

leaving this section Of the canal
undisturbed.
From the interchange to a
point near Old Anglers Inn,
the sewer will be generally in
or near the right Of way for

mortal parkway. Old Anglers
Inn is located at the point
where Macarthur boulevard
swings to the right and goes
uphill to make an inland loop
before coming down again to
Great Falls.
At the inn, the sewer
will be buried in a tunnel that
will not interfere with the
canal. This tunnel will end at
the bank Of the Potomac River
in the U. S. park at Great Falls.
The sewer will cross the Po-

Mr.. Aud said the new route,
along with refinements in de-
sign Of the sewer, should shave
50 million off the cost Of build
ing the interceptor along the
route the District itself orig
inally proposed.
He explained that sections Of
the canal will be drained dur
ing construction and used as
an access road to reduce to q

vegetation in order to get
equipment to the building site.
Mr.. Aud was asked II barge
trips on the canal between
Georgetown and Brookmont,

He said there is q possibility
that the Georgetown section
OF the canal may not have to

However, Mr.. Horne said that
II any part Of the canal below
the canal water intake at Great
Falls is drained, it will be dry

MIR. Horne gave the following
general description Of the route
the sewer will follow under the
compromise plan:
From the District line to the
Corps Of Engineers Aqueduct
pumping plant, the sewer will
be near the George Washington
Memorial parkway and con-
struction will not affect the
canal itself.
The route from the pumping
station to just south Of Glen
Echo is still under discussion
but this is one of the two areas
where the sewer may be buried

From Glen Echo to just be-

A new agreement between
District and National Park
Service officials will help save
million Of dollars in construct
ing the Dulles Airport inter-
ceptor sewer, The Star learned
yesterday.
Under a compromise, the Ma
tional Park Service will permit
building Of the sewer on its
Chesapeake g. Ohio Canal
property in return for certain
benefits and assurances.
Previously the park service
had been contending that the
sewer should not be built in the
canal area.
The compromise was agreed
on by District Engineer Com
missioner Frederick j. Clarke
and Conrad Wirth, director Of
the National Park Service, and
their staffs after numerous
conferences and a detailed in
spection Of the possible sewer
route.
While some details on loca-
ton Of the sewer in certain
sections Of the canal property
have not been finally ironed
out, the question has changed
from whether the sewer will be
built in this area to exactly
where.
