Chowder's S Role in Con1poiion

But it will never again please
the palates Of the more parti-
san Republicans. This defec.
tion will not seriously affect
the sale Of cod. salt pork,
potatoes, celery, etc., because
no really respectable Demo-

The baked seafood casse-
role, as prepared at the Ken
nedy household, includes crab
meat, lobster and shrimp.
Alas. for those who lack the
discipline to refuse second
helpings, 1t also requires
mayonnaise and potatoes.
The dessert is a civilized
one Of hot fruits-apricots,
pineapples, cherries, peaches,
orange and lemon slices, all
sprinkled with brown sugar,
baked and topped with nut
meg and sour cream.
Release of these recipes un-

may be written in the trial of
Revert j. Meisenbach, the one
student against whom charges
are still pending.
In dismiSSing charges against
the others, Municipal Judge
Albert A. Axelrod said, IT am
convinced that they are not
engaged in subversive activities,
nor in spreading subversive
propaganda.
However, they chose the
wrong means to accomplish
their purpose and let them
selves become victims of those
who profit by creating unrest,
riots and the type of conduct
which is outlawed by the penal
code"
Mr.. Meisenbach, %, Catholic
reared education senior at the
University of California, is
charged with beating a police
officer on the head with the
patrolman'S own night stick.
II believe all the facts sur
rounding the City Hall incident
must be brought out to give
him a fair trial." declared Jack
Berman, Mr.. MeiSenbach'S at
torney.
Neither Meisenbach nor any
other student started the riot.
The cause of the violence was
the turning on of the hoses by
the police without warning"
Robert Maurer, assistant dis
trict attorney, said the prose-
cution regards the trial as be-
ing strictly limited to the ques-
tion-did or did not Mr.. Mel
senbach assault Patrolman
Ralph Schaumleffel?
While the trial could shed
light on what happened May

thenticity Of the film goes on

Probe Unit Rides High
After Vote

The House Committee on Un-
American Activities is riding
the crest today Of a 412 to 6
vote Of confidence, as a direct
result Of which it may embark
on Investigations, studies and
other pursuits to the extent of
1891 900 for the rest of 1861.
Notwithstanding that lop-
sided vote on the expense al
lotment by the House late
yesterday there had been hard
hitting and sometimes acrimo-
NOUS debate about the merits,
methods and necessity of the
committee itself.
Chairman Walter, Democrat
Of Pennsylvania, charged that
Representative Roosevelt, Dem
ocrat Of California, seemed to
base criticism Of the committee
on fuzzy reasoning. distortions
and falsehoods and total fail
ure to comprehend the nature
Of communism"
He chided Mr.. Roosevelt for
having released testimony
against the 1881 900 request at
a recent closed meeting of the
House Administration Commit
tee. Mr.. Roosevelt attempted
to explain that he had received
committee permission to do so
and that he was sure Mr.. Wal
ter did not "intend to reflect on
my integrity"
II intended to-" Mr.. Walter
shot back.
When the committee chair
man arose to speak he received

: h.. ,:s,att,:"

make 1t far more difficult for
the schools to operate. But
such is obviously not the pur-
pose Of the First Amendment.
That amendment requires
the State to be a neutral In
its relations with groups Of
religious believers and nom
believers; it does not require
the State to be their adver-
sary. State power is no more
to be used so as to handicap
religions, than it is to favor
them"
BY the same token, If the
Federal Government extends
aid to public school children.
as is being suggested, and
denies such aid to children
who go to parochial or other
private schools, then it can
be accused Of handicapping
the religious education which
is voluntarily sought by
parents for their children in
order to supplement the reg
ular course of studies.
To understand the problem,
it can well be imagined what
a financial burden in higher
taxes for the community
would be imposed if parents
of children now attending
private and parochial schools
were suddenly to decide to
send them all to public
schools. The States would
have to pay heavily every
year to take care of the
nearly Z million children now
attending private and paro-
chial schools. Many extra
teachers would have to be
/ hired and new buildings
erected.
Certainly the extent to
which the taxpayers today
are being relieved Of this
extra burden in the COM
munity involves sums many
times larger than the Federal
assistance that might be
granted to those parents Of
children Of elementary and
secondary-school age who de-
sire to send them to religious
schools, but at the same time
cannot afford the double
burden they are carrying to-
day.
Perhaps the way out is to
refund to such parents GER
tain amounts out of their
tax payments. which could
then be used for education in
private schools. This would
not be direct aid to the school
or educational institution, but
to the students themselves.

years in the Congress. Each
is noted for energy and
stamina.
Yet, as summer gave way
to fall and the goldenrod
began to nod along the rural
roads, Mr.. Nixon began to
show WEAKNESS. His palsied
appearance on the first tele-
vision debate shocked his
followers and many who had
not made up their minds. He
was pale and wan, thin and
seemingly weak. Despite the
heroic efforts Of those skilled
in the arts Of lights and stage
craft, he never recovered.
Candidate Kennedy, in con-
trast, was lively as a cricket,
bright as a penny, and SEEM
ingly strong and ready for
any emergency, physical or
mental.
We now have the secret.
Like Popeye the Saflorman,
whose muscles were restored
by a bowl of spinach, Candi-
date Kennedy's strength be-
came the strength Of ten, by
consuming a generous serving
of New England fish chowder
just before debating Mr..
Nixon. There was no weari-
ness in him. A bowl of
chowder made him a new
man. Mr.. Nixon, perhaps, had
supped on toast, eggs and tea,
the menu Of fighters before
the main bout. This was not
enough. There is now no real
mystery about Mr.. Nixon's
debility. He was hungry. His
opponent was restored by
chowder. Mr.. Nixon's hopes
were drowned in it.
1t is almost a certainty
that no Republican luncheon
or dinner will ever again fea-
ture fish chowder. This is q
pity because it is, like New
England clam chowder, a
nourishing and pleasant dish.
