out Katanga." This means de-
flying Mr.. Tshombe's edict that
certain key areas are prohib-
tied to the U. N. 1t also means
breaking the Tshombe blockade
on q key U. N. supply line from
Sakania and Dilolo.
Comprehensive Breakdown
1t could also mean setting
UP U. N. roadblocks to prevent
the export Of Katanga prod
ucts.
Whether these steps will be
taken one by one, or all at
once, Is not clear; but sources
here hint 1t will be a compre-
hensive, co-ordinated crack
down involving a wide range Of
simultaneous steps.
The U. N. hopes It will be q
bloodless coup. The U. N.
army will not initiate any Of
fensive military action" Mr..
Gardiner told Mr.. Tshombe.
But the U. N. will use its arms
vigorously whenever and
wherever it may be attacked. 7"
he said.
Moreover, the U. N. will not
be satisfied with q passive de-
Tense, Mr.. Gardiner made clear.
1t will wipe out Mr. Tshombe's
capacity to continue the attack,
he said, taking "the protective
measures deemed necessary to
avoid q recurrence"
This could easily mean a
third major round Of fighting
between the U. N. and Katanga.
Earlier rounds ended indeci-
sively in September and De-
cember, 1861. Former Secre-
tary- General Dag Hammarsk-
jold lost his life in an effort
to end the September fighting.
Mr.. Gardner insisted that
mercenary piloted Katanga
planes stop bombing central
government troops in North
Katanga; that Katanga troops
stop dynamiting bridges; that
roadblocks in Elisabethville,
the capital. be removed; that
efforts to- "intimidate" Belgian,
Italian and other foreign dip
lomats cease, and that four
Tunisian captives be released.
There was a clear implica-
ton that Katanga planes
might be attacked on the
ground or in the air If they
continued their raids.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

PRICE: When newspaper
publisher William Randolph
Hearst made up his mind to
buy something, he was never
deferred by price, recalls J.
A. Swanberg in Citizen
Hearst"
will Rogers owned a small
piece of land adjacent to
Hearst's Santa Monica man
sion. Hearst wanted it for a
tennis court and sent his
realtor. George S. Merritt to
ask the price.
Rogers said he did not
want to sell, and put an out
rageous $25, 900 price on it. (
"'Offer him $40, 900, Hearst
said. .,
Merritt did so, whereupon
Rogers raised the price to
$4,000. Hearst then made q
bid for $4,000. The humor-
list went up to $45, 900. It was
apparent to Merritt that Rog-
erS was having a game at
HearSt's expense and he
urged Hearst to do without
the land.
But Hearst was deter
mined to have it. He kept
making bids until he got the
plot for sos, 900.
Pleasure is worth what
you can afford to pay for it,
he said philosophicaIly."

moderately difficult coloratura

sound. Beveridge Webster's tenn

Prayer in the Classroom?

3,359,048. The smallest group
is the Old Order or York
Brethren: 291.
The motives Of those who
are trying to extinguish re-
ligion in schools cannot be a
liberalization of the spirit,
but rather a denial of rights
to the majority by the minor
ity. Whether they win or lose
in the Supreme Court, they
will have bred religious dis
trust and contempt and I am
opposed to any measure
which sets the true brother
hood of man back.
WHAT WOULD THEY
have us do? Teach the chill
dren to say "Shhh!" when
the name of God is men
toned, or perhaps cover their
ears with their hands? If
their real goal is to force the
schools to use their particu-
lar prayers, then the princi-
pals and teachers had bet
ter recite the psalms of all
254 sectS. This amounts to
less than one religion per
school day and, in effect,
cancels all of them.
1t must be diScouraging to
God to watch puny man fight
over the many paths to heav-
zen. It would be better, !
think, if the heads of the
several sects organized a
committee on religion in pub
lie schools, and came to an
agreement about which pray,
erS, which Bible readings, are
least offensive to all. ~
BY killing religion in the
schools, we are, in effect,
building a religious Tower of
Babel in which we Americans
speak many tongues, but
none of us understand the
others.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Little knowledge Saves q Life
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHh

But there is one excuse many
smokers make that isn't true
at all. They say the only
way to stop is to stop sud-
denly, but they are afraid it
will be too much of a shock
to their system.
The best way to break the
habit is to stop quickly.
Gradual cutting down is
usually unsuccessful. But it
won't be a shock to your
system if you suddenly stop
after having smoked at least
two packs a day for years.
I grant you'll feel uncom-
Portable for the first few
weeks. but you won't suffer
for it physically. In fact, you
will feel better. Many have
told me that after breaking
the habit, that the smell of
tobacco smoke becomes actu-
ally distaSteful.

For Mrs. E.: I agree with
your doctor that it isn't
harmful to take a sleeping
pill, which he prescribes, for
a few nights to get over some
rough spot. Danger comes
only when you take them on
your own, without super
vision, for months and years.

The question of prayer in
schools is veXing. A solitary
plea, muttered in unison by
a group of spiritually dispa-
rate children, cannot effect
the salvation of any of them.
Religious life in the home is
the important factor, and, if
there is none at home, a
prayer in class is a message
never sent.
STILL, THE QUESTION
of prayer in school has been
permitted to become a pub
lie cause. The overwhelming
majority of Christian parents
insist that classes were al
ways opened with prayer
throughout the history of the
republic, and should contin-
ue. The minority, atheists
and non-Christians, claim
that prayer violates the great
American code of separation
of state and church.
To understand the issue
or rather, to simplify it -
one must realize that, when
our forefathers decreed a sep
aration of church and state,
they were trying to achieve
freedom of religion, not to
bind it. They came from
countries which had state re-
ligionS - where a man had
to belong to a given church
or be denied the right of
worship.
The JefferSons, the Wash
ingtonS, the Adamses were
trying to loose the theologi-g
cal bonds so that the Luz
therans of New York could
meet the Episcopals of
Connecticut and the Catho-
lies of Maryland and the Jews
of Philadelphia without spiri-
tual rancor. Each was enti-
tied, without hindrance, to
build a temple of his choice
and there to address the Del
ty in the ancient rituals of
his fathers.
America has always been
a Protestant country. 1t was
then. It is now. 1t would be
a simple example of democ-
racy to permit a Protestant
prayer to be recited in all
public schools without protest
from the others. Separation
of state and church does not
imply separation of state and
God. The writer's of our Con-
stitution and our Bill of
Rights acknowledged God.
The United States Senate
opens with prayer every day.
Our coins proclaim: I'm God
we trust" The country Of
ficially acknowledges that
there is a God and admon-
iSheS each man to find his
own way to Him.
The current fight in Mi
ami and in New York against
prayer in school is a chatting,
irritating matter to all. A
group of Pan-American en-
ployes in Miami are so up
set that they write a group
letter to me asking what they
can do to maintain prayer
in class.
1--WE would in no wise adj
vocate the teaching of a par
ticular faith or doctrine"
they say, realizing that this
would be contrary to our
freedoms. But, as the domi-
nate faiths of our nation are
based upon God as the ST.
preme Being we feel that
scriptures and prayers dedi-
Gated toward God should be
a part of our school pro-
gram"
There are 254 religious
nominations in the United
States. They have a total en-
rolled membership of 49,
6,905-63.4 per cent of the
population. OF the 1856 per
cent remaining, millions be-
lieve in God but do not at
tend any church regularly.
The rest are agnosticS or
