CHICAGO, Sept. IA (AP).-
American League President Joe
Cronin said today if New York's
Roger Maris or Mickey Mantle
hit 81 home runs in the regu-
lation 162-game schedule. it
must be regarded as a new
= record.
Rain prevented Mantle and
Maris from continuing their
bid last night to move up on
Babe Ruth's 34-year-old record
of 60 homerS in one season.
Maris has hit Sc in the Yam
KEGS 146 games (including a
tie), and Mantle has SO.
Roger is three games ahead
Of Ruth's pace and Mantle is
three behind.
Cronin said he did not wish
to become involved in any dis
pute with Commissioner Ford
Prick.
Sees No Logic In Ruling
At the same time, he added,
he could see no logic in the
commissioners ruling which
specifies that Ruth's so homers
in 1927 must be topped in 154
decisions to count as q new
standard.
After all, Ruth hit his so
in ISL games" said Cronin.
Hall of Famer and a contem-
porary of Ruth when the former
was the star shortStop and
manager Of the Washington
Senators in the early 1930s.
Therefore, if a person wants
to be technical he can say the
record counts only if either
Maris or Mantle hit 81 homers
in as many games as Ruth did.
Il respect the commissioners
feelings about the matter, but
as far as I'm concerned, it will
be a record if either or both do
it in 1862 games"
Cronin reached into the past
as we'll as the future for more
ammunition to supplement his
argument.
Hugh Duffy, back in 1894,
set a National League batting
record of .438 in 1875 games,
I believe.
When the National League
expanded to 154 games some
years later, there was no talk
of recognizing new mark
should someone better Duffy's
figure in more games than he
played.
Also, the National League
probably will play 162-game
schedule next year because of
the addition of Houston and
New York. Does that mean
they will set aside all the cur
rent records and begin a batch
of new ones?"
Hopes They Make 1t
Cronin frankly stated he
was roofing for both Maris
and Mantle.
Il hope they make it," he
said.
I'm a little sentimental
about Ruth, of course, be-
cause I played against him. I
regard Ruth as the greatest
home-run hitter of all time.
I don't believe anyone will
ever match his career total of
TIA homers. That record seems
to be safe"

Hits School Aid.
By the Associated Press

A Congressman charged yes
terday foes of the pending aid
to-education bill are inspiring
a mail campaign based on the
false premise that the measure
provides for aid to church
schools.
Representative Bailey, DEM
ocrat Of West Virginia, said
he is receiving a barrage of let
ters asking him to vote against
the administration bill because
it calls for Federal aid to pa
rochial schools. He said he
has been receiving hundreds
of such letters and he is an
swering them like this:
I'm afraid you have been
lied to-"
Mr.. Bailey, chairman of a
House subcommittee which is
handling part of the adminis-
tration program, said the mail
campaign is one of the heavi-
est in years.
President Kennedy's $2.3 bill
lion program of grants for ell
ementary and highs chools is
specifically limited to public
schools. The President repeat
edly has said church-operated
schools should not receive aid.
The chairman of the full

it allows"
The archdiocesan counsel
who gave the legal opinion to
the Cardinal is Lawrence x.
Cusack, a lawyer engaged in
private practice.
Cardinal Spellman said Mr..
Cusack's legal opinion held
that "it is at least debatable
whether the Government is
correct in concluding that gen.
eral loans would be unconsti-
tutional, even where there is
no measurable cost to the gov
ernment."
Referring to other areas of
the memorandum, the cardinal
commented: These three con-
cessions are the more notable
in the light of the fact that
the Governments memoran-
dunn was, understandably, in
the nature of a brief on be-
half of the administrations
program"
He said further:
"The Government memoran-
dunn did not discuss the many
bills now pending in Congress
that would make some form of
Income tax benefit available to
the parents of school children.
But counsel for the archdio-
cese advises that such legisla-
ton would unquestionably not
conflict with the constitutional
principles and criteria men
toned in the Government
memorandum.
Since these areas of COM
mon ground exist, there now
seems to be no justification for
the exclusion of church-related
schools and their students from
a program of Federal aid, If
the Congress decides on polit-
ical and economic grounds that
there should be such a pro-

services, secular textbooks and
nonreligious equipment"
The memorandum, issued
March %, was prepared by the
local staff of the Department
of Health, Education and Wei
fare in consultation with at
torneys of the Justice Depart
ment.
1t said in part that laws de-
signed to further the education
and welfare of youth may not
be unconstitutional if they af-
ford only incidental benefits to
church schools.
Line Not Clear
For example, public funds
.unquestionably may be used tc
provide fire and police protec-
ton to church Schools" it said

port and incidental benefits is
not always easy to determine

schools would be unconStitu-
tional. But it said also the per-
missible area for providing in
cidental benefits was unclear.
The Roman Catholic Arch
bishop said a legal opinion
given him by archdiocese
counsel held that the memo
randum docs make three sub
stantial concessions to the po-
siton taken by proponents OF

dinal Spellman said in a state
ment. He has been a leading
proponent of Federal aid to

Key Points Told

might be constitutional for the
