Crane Reminds Farmers OF

RALEIGH, April rs - State
Labor Commissioner Frank
Crane today reminded Tar
Heel farmers and commercial

that under the Federal Wage

fore or after school hours, on

Crane said the farmer may
best protect himself from I'M
intentional violation of the
Federal law by requiring from
each young person he employs
during school hours an age

which serve as proof of age un-

in this area of diplomacy and

The recent appointment
OF Philip Coombs to be As

Educational and Cultural
Affairs also is an innova-
ton. He is one of the Ma

experienced educators and
has a sense of dedication to

1T is really the lack of un-

never attempt to pass per-
sonal Judgment on the rights
or wrongs Of this profoundly
difficult human and, legal
problem. But he has no doubt
that the President. would
never approve any across
the-board aid for non-public
schools. This is no author
lied prediction, but I would
bet on it.
Thus, those liberal Demo-
Gratis who are challenging
the President here - like
Senators Joseph Clark of
Pennsylvania and Philip
Hart Of Michigan-are TAX
ing a grave step indeed. In
Texas they used to say that .
a wise man did not draw his
six-shooter unless he meant
to use it. In the most init
mate sense, they are draw
ing their six-shooters against
the President.

some party called the DEM
ocratic Party-is going to

Kennedy Seen Firm in Opposition,
With Grave consequences for PARTY

simply because in his view
the court has already said it
would be unconstitutional
any additional program to
offer loans, as distinguished
from gifts, to private and
parochial schools. Such an
additional program is being
demanded by Catholic spokes-
men.
His recent appeal to Con-
gress first to approve grants
for public schools and then
to consider. if 1t wished, loans
to non-public schools has
been widely misunderstood.
There is some feeling in
Congress that the President
really meant to suggest a
trade-you give me Federal
aid to public schools and
then I will give you loans to
non-public schools.
This, however, was in no
way Mr.. Kennedy's inten-
ton. He had already ques-
toned the constitutionality
of acrosS-the-board loan aid
to the private and parochial
schools. He has since had
legal advice from the De-
partment of Justice-headed
by his brother, Robert, who
like the President is a Cath
olic-to the same effect.
Thus what he is saying to
CongresS-and all he is say
ing-is this: I have repeat
edly given you my conviction
that aid to non public
schools cannot stand up un-
der the Constitution. So
please don't mix up this ques-
ton with aid to public edu-
cation. Pass public aid. Then,
If you are determined to go

President Kennedy does
not lightly join issue with
anybody in the spirit of
either-or. Of all or nothing.
But he has committed him.
self to just such a flat-out
contest with a part of Con-
gress against general Federal
aid to private and parochial
schools.
On this one, the die is cast;
he will not turn back. The
consequences cannot be
wholly foreseen, but they will
surely be many and grave.
Indeed, it now appears that
in these first few months of
his administration he may
be entering a crisis no less
fundamental than the crisis
of 1888 when Franklin D.
Roosevelt tried to pack the
Supreme Court. That crisis
brought to an end an extraor-
dinarily long political honey
moon for Mr.. Roosevelt. Never
again did he attain the de-
gree Of public backing he had
enjoyed.
The present crisis may
bring for Mr.. Kennedy Just
such an end to another polit-
ical honeymoon. But the
great difference is this: Mr..
Roosevelt was trying to force
the high court to change its
opinions. Mr.. Kennedy is at
tempting to support as the
law Of the land what he is
quite sure is the high courts
settled opinion against Fed
eral aid to non-public
schools.
Though there is much sur
face confusion, the facts are
these:
/. The President wants
and wants only-Federal aid
to education to the public
schools through direct grants.
2. He does not want
