ARA Awards So, go
Contract for Study
OF State 7oUrism

WASHINGTON, d. -(NRECA)
The University of Colorado is 60
ing to study some successful tourist
areas in this country and report what
makes them that way to the Area Re-
development Administration.
William L. Bait, Jr., the ARA adj
ministrator, says the study will be
done by the University's Bureau of
Business Research. A $22,97O con-
tract awarded by ARA for technical
assistance will pay for it. r
When he announced the contract,
Bait said ARA had noticed that many
areas now suffering from chronic
unemployment or underemployment
are potential tourist attractions.
In the past decade, he added,
tourism has been one of the major
growth industries in this country.
1t is expected to expand even more
rapidly in the 1905 because the
population is growing, it is more
mobile, and it is looking for more
places to visit and play.
Bait said the study will cover
mountain, seashore, lake and desert
resort areas; historical and metro
politan tourist areas; winter sports
centers, and other spectator and par
resort areas.
The researchers want to know how
many tourists stop in these areas,
how long the tourists stay, how much
they spend, and how much employ
ment results from tourism.
The study also will show how the
characteristics of successful resort
areas can be applied to areas eligible
for federal aid under the Area Re-
development Act.
For fiscal 1862, the Congress made
available 1913 million to ARA for
technical assistance projects. The
money for the tourism study comes
from this fund.

The veteran Congressman from

that the compulsory open shop
lobby spends AZ cents out of every
dollar it collects on Embarrassing
expenses.
Armed with a report on the Com

the facts into the record. The re-

Madden's report was carried in the

Madden revealed that during 1860,
the latest year of which a full report
is available, the committee spent
nearly $4,000 of the more than
$425,OOO it raised on the expenses
of Embarrassing. Citing the Better

jority. Therefore, even if ma
jority agrees with the religious
beliefs expressed by observ-
ances in our public schools,
democratic practice should not
allow such teaching to continue.
Our Constitution guarantees
freedom of religious belief and
observance to all individuals,
not just members of the major
ity. Our laws require that all
children attend school, and that
all taxpayers contribute to the
support of the public schools,
not just members of the major

ments. Other decisions by the
Court have applied this doctrine
of separation of church and
state specifically to the public
schools. The purpose of such
separation is not only to protect
citizens from domination by one
religious group but, equally, to
protect all religions from domi-
nation by the state.
Such separation strengthens
religion; it does not weaken it.
Those who insist that it opens
the door to Communism should
recall that the strongest Com
munist parties in Western Eu-
rope developed in France and
Italy, countries long under reli-
gious domination. The pre-rev-
dictionary Russian government
was subservient to the church
in that country.
Other reasons could be cited
for removing religion from the
public schools, but the above
are directed mainly to points
raised by other writers.

Concerned

An item on the front page Of
the January 10 issue of the
Montgomery County Sentinel
caused me some dismay. / have
felt that the Sentinel was in
many ways superior to the
other newspapers in the county.
One of them was Its policy re.
garding the use of racial identi-
fication In news stories.
In 1859 when I wrote the edi.
tor for information on this mat
ter, he responded that the policy
was the same as that of the
Washington Post, namely, that
race or color is not mentioned
except when 1t Is essential to
the understanding Of a story Ia
school desegregation suit or
when the perpetrator of a crime
has not been apprehended Con
the theory that this aids cap
ture).
You can naturally understand
my dismay, therefore, when I
read the item headed Convict
ed Rapist Gets Life Term"
wherein you identify "Estep, a
19.year-old Negro"
I would appreciate it If you
could reassure me that the pol
icy which obtained under the
former editor is still the govern
ing one and that future news
stories will conform with 1t. 1t
would be very regrettable to
have so good a newspaper retro
gress at this time when Mont
.gomery County is showing lead
ership in eliminating discrimina-
ton and promoting the dignity
OF all men.

Religious Observance

So far, all letters I have seen
in The Sentinel on the subject
of religious observance in the
public schools have opposed the
stand taken by the Jewish Com
munity Council. May l express
myself in support of the Coun-
ellis stand?
First, let me say that my hus-
band and l are church members.

child has attended since she was
