A BOOK FOR TODAY
The Religious Issue in Politics
By DONALD MINTZ

Messrs. Dulce and Richter
seem to think that the cleo
ton of President Kennedy
was in itself some kind Of
tribute to America: The
election Of q President of
Catholic faith in 1860 gave q
ringing stamp Of recognition
to pluraliSm as an indelible
fact Of national political and
social hfe."
TIME WILL TELL whether
this Is true or not, but II it
Is we will be better off II 1t
is only an incidental by
product Of the election. For
as President Kennedy was
fond Of pointing out. he was
the Democratic candidate not
the Catholic candidate. In
Religion and the Presidency"
he Is made to function In one
or the other capacity depend
ing on the nature Of the. point
the authors are trying to
prove at any given moment.
This confusion is a serious
blemiSh in what is otherwise
q sophisticated and most in
teresting analysis of the cleo
ton returns and the complex
manner in which religious
and economic issues tend to
join.
The last chapter seems to
assume that all manner Of
problems have been solved.
On the one hand. we have
our fundamental belief in the
separation Of church and
state. On the other, there is
the knowledge that a church
must have a social position.
The solution to the conflict
is, Of course, the mainte-
nance Of q state Of healthy
strain. Messrs. Dulce and
Richter appear to believe that
President Kennedy's election
has produced some sort Of
passive and permanent res
olution which they do not
realize Is inherently impos-
Sible.
Towards the end Of the
book, the authors strongly
imply that democracy neces-
Sarily springs from religion
and that officeholders in a
democratic state must there
fore be religious men. We
are not told how this is
reconciled with Paragraph 3
Of Article VI of the Constitu-
ton,

Serious 'Dropout' Problem

The seriousness of the So-called
"dropout" problem in the District
schools is underlined by the decision
Of school authorities to undertake an
educational program designed to ease
the situation. 1t is matter of con-
Germ not only to the schools but to the
community at large when so many boys
and girls quit school before graduation.

On the American side, the
error was in assuming that
because British entry into the

solve Of Charles de Gaulle Of

The misunderstanding was
not helped by British official

much harder If Britain is out

Moreover. a Britain ex-

REELECTION AND THE PRES

RELIGION AND THE PRES
IDENCY, q Recurring
American Problem. BY
Berton Dulce and Edward
j. Richter, 245 PIP. Mac
milan Co., So
The interrelation Of politi-
cal and religious controversy
in American politics predates
AL Smiths campaign in 1928,
and for that matter even the
Know Nothing movement Of
the 10th century. In RE
ligion and the Presidency"
Berton Dulce and Edward j.
Richter point out that lever
since Thomas jefferson had
to endure charges Of atheism,
the religious issue has been
prominent in approximately
one Of every three campaigns
for the presidency"
Their new book Is a study
of this issue. The subject Is
difficult, for it is not one
about which people find it
easy to think without emo
ton. Beyond this "the re-
ligious issue has always &C
tually consisted in large
measure Of a number Of So
cial issues brought together
under one label" Religion in
and of itself as a political
issue is therefore very diff
cult to segregate. And If by
some intellectual legerdemain
it could be studied in isola-
ton, that very isolation would
probably invalidate the re-
suits.
But Mr.. Dulce, a social
psychologist, and Mr.. Rich
ter, a journalist, have had a
go at 1t while bearing in mind
that the interaction Of re-
ligion and other matters can
not be ignored. Almost half
the book Is devoted to the
1860 campaign and its pre-
liminaries. The other half
Is q general historical survey.
THIS FIRST HALF Is most
unsatisfactory. The authors
have attempted to sketch in
background by a kind Of
panorama technique. AS a re-
suit we read about the Scopes
trial, the establishment of
KDKA, the Ku Klux Khan,
the League of Nations and
the World Court, the Fitz-
gerald-Lodge senatorial cam
paign, the founding of the
AFL, and the development of
the Model T all within two
pages.
What one comes away with
if anything-is a number
of isolated facts somehow
salvaged from the swirling
confusion: the origin and eff
feet of the rum. Romanism
and rebellion" phrase in the
Blaine Cleveland campaign,
or the results Of the Ogburn
study that showed that re-
ligion had not been the de-
cisive element in AL Smiths
defeat.
The second half Is better.
The events discussed are of
recent memory and their
sequence and relationship is
carefully outlined. Here again
are the Wisconsin and West
Virginia primaries, the So
called Washington Manifesto
and President Kennedy'S
magnificent performance be-
fore the Ministerial Associa-
ton of Greater Houston.
OF course, the bigots were
out in full force for the 1860
campaign. But most Amer
leans realized that a mans
religious views are a legiti-
mate matter for discussion,
ut was not simply a matter
Of labels. Of bigotry, or pref
udice. 1t involved a view Of
the world and Of the individ-
ual's place in the world"

Steers Surge
BY the Associated Press

There's Just no stopping Bill
Bridges and the Kansas City
Steers, laundering away from
the pack in the American Bas-
ketball League with a 10-game
winning streak.
The Steers, getting a 81
point performance and % re-
bounds from Bridges, won No.
10 last night by defeating the
Philadelphia Tapers, 108 = 81,
before a record Kansas City
crowd Of 1929 lured by a
double-header attraction also
featuring the Harlem Globe
trotters.
The Steers triumph gave
them a four-game lead over
Long Beach. Each has lost
seven games, but Kansas City
has won 22-eight more than
the Chiefs. In the only other
game played over the week end,
fourth-place Oakland defeated
last-place Chicago, 112-103, in
overtime Saturday night.
Bridges got considerable scor-
ing help from Maurice King,
who wound up with 27 points,
and Larry Staverman, who
added 81. The Steers led at
the quarter, 27-19. boosted it to
56-40 at the half and in the
third period led, 7l-4S, before
tapering off against the Tapers
Sy Blye paced Philadelphia
with 26 points.

four games their first season

year. However. Kenny john

Murphy and Butch Tolson are

triumph over Bethesda gives
notice that Sherwood could be
one Of the strongest teams in
the county.

seniors, but Coach Ray Chalk
ley is highly optimistic that
the Big Blue can cheat the
calendar by a season.

varsity and Junior Larry Jones.
John Keller at Einstein and
Bill Dargart at Whitman have
all the usual first-year prob
lens with a few solid ball
players sprinkled in. Tom Hop
