DR.. Smith said that finding

himself.
The African student attended
New Mexico last year and had
lived off campus. He gave up
his place to go to New York for

Teachers Face Dilemma on Prayer

themselves"
How, then. would the Su-
preme Court construe a Presi-
dents proclamation contain
ing religious expressions set
forth as the substance OF a
prayer recommended for use
throughout the Nation, in
Guiding the public schoolsP
The language Of the pre-
amble of the Presidents proc
lamation, moreover, will have
to be studied now to deter
mine whether it can be re-
garded as a part of what the
court called a program OF
governmentally supported re-
ligious activity" The proc
lamation reads, as follows:
Whereas faith in Almighty
God was a dominant power
in the lives of our founding
fathers; and
Whereas they expressed
this faith in prayer, and in
this posture members of the
Continental Congress mutu-
ally pledged their lives, their
fortunes, and their sacred
honor; and
Whereas each succeeding
generation has shared that
faith; and
Whereas in full recogni-
ton of our dependence upon
Almighty God and for our
continuing need of His great
blessings, the Congress of the
United States by joint reSo-
luton approved on the seven
tenth day of April, 1852, a
provision that the President
shall set aside and proclaim a
suitable day each year, other
than a Sunday, as a national
day of prayer, on which the
people of the United States
may turn to God in prayer
and meditation at churches,
in groups, and as individuals
Nov, therefore, I, John F.
Kennedy, President of the
United States, do set aside
and proclaim Wednesday, the
seventeenth day of October,
1862, as a national day of
prayer"
May the words recon-
mended by the President for
use in prayers be read aloud
in the schools? Or may copies
be circulated in the class
rooms for silent reading? Did
the President get a formal
opinion from the Attorney
General advising him that he
could disregard the Supreme
Court decision in the school
prayer" case? If so, will the
opinion of the Department of
Justice be made public?
These are the unanswered
questions arising out of a
Presidential proclamation rec
ommending a series of sup
plicationS to be used on Ma
tional Prayer Day by "the
people Of the United States"
which phrase, of course, in
cludes the children in the
schools.

Four Gubernotoriol Races Shape
1864 G. 0. p. Presidential Lineup

The October days of crisis
for the Republican Party are
now at hand--but far less
for the congressional cleo
tions of next month than for
the presidential election two
years hence.
Not in memory has a po-
litical year brought such a
conformation of shadow with
substance. The shadow is the
struggle for control of the
new Congress. But the gut
contest lies in the efforts of
G. o. P. candidates for Gov
ernor to. capture the State
houses and thus the giant
political mechanisms, of four
of our biggest States.
These-New York, Califor-
mia, Pennsylvania and Mich
igan - are the real payoff.
For what happens in these
gubernatorial tests will de-
termine, far more than any
possible outcome of the con-
gresSional races, the strength
or weakness of the Republic
can challenge to President
Kennedy's bid for reelection
in 1864.
Indeed, on the assumption
that a serious presidential
candidacy by Senator Barry
Goldwater is highly unlikely,
the whole effective field Of
G. o. P. challengers to Mr..
Kennedy is involved in these
four States:
New York, where Nelson
Rockefeller is seeking a re-
election SO decisive as to
make him automatically a
top contender for the Repub-
lican Presidential nomination
in 1904. California, where
Richard Nixon engages the
incumbent Democratic Gov
ernor, Edmund (Pat) Brown.
Pennsylvania, where William
Scranton opposes the Demo-
crat, Richardson Dilworth.

Caught Between Court Decision
And Presidential Proclamation

The principals and teachers
In the public schools Of the
Nation face a strange di-
lemma on Wednesday of this
week. Shall they obey the
Supreme Court of the United
States, which has banned any
prayer com posed, recon-
mended or encouraged by a
governmental body for use
in the schools? Or shall they
obey a proclamation, issued
last Thursday by the Presi-
dent of the United States,
fixing october II as THE
National Day of Prayer" and
specifying particularly the
purposes to be prayed for?.
The Supreme Court did
not bar voluntary prayer as
such in the schools, but did
rule that any prayer com
posed" and recommended"
or even encouraged" by any
branch Of the government
for use in the classroom must
be considered a violation OF
the Constitution. This ruling,
the court said, was based on
the First Amendment. which
declares that Congress shall
make no law respecting an
establishment of religion"
Congress, however - 10
years before the Supreme
Court decision in the school
prayer" case-did pass a
joint resolution on April IT,
1852, which called on the
President ITO set aside and
proclaim" a suitable day each
year las a National Day of
Prayer on which the people
of the United States may
turn to God in prayer and
meditation at churches. in
groups and as individuals"
Will ella sses in public
schools, therefore, be legally
considered as among such
groups? The Supreme Court
said in it's decision June Is
that lit is no part Of the
business of government to
compose official prayers for
any group of the American
people" The court also said
that the First Amendment
was added to the Constitution
las a guarantee that neither
the power nor the prestige of
the Federal Government
would be used to control,
support or influence the kinds
of prayer the American people
can say"
Was the Presidents procla-
nation an attempt to "in-
fluence the kinds of prayer"
the American people shall
use? Was it a "recommen-
dation" as to what the con-
tent of a prayer should be
on a particular day?
The proclamation con-
tanned the following exhor-
tation:

A New Look at the Aid Business

point ahead of the improve
ment in gross national prod
uct the take-off point is re-
ceding rather than approach
ing.
Our foreign aid theorists
overlooked a few h u m a n
characteristics, too. Nations,
like individuals, hate to con-
slider themselves mendicants.
Worst of all, we were
cursed for snoring up and
perpetuating old, corrupt re-
gimeS. FESTIVE students, fed
up with their pocket-lining
officialdom, blamed us for
keeping these people in
power. The quick flop of the
Alliance for Progress, where
we tried to tie reform into
an aid m, demon
strates that few governments
are interested in refor m.
They just want us 70 throw
the money over the transom
and go away.
For a while it looked as
though the Russians were
impressed by our foreign aid
program and might try to
initiate it. But this month
Moscow announced a sharp
cutback in loan funds except
to places like Cuba where
the aim is obvious. Mr..
Khrushchev has apparently
discovered that he can gain
more world respect by putting
his money into coSmic spec
taculars than by building &C.
ment plants abroad.
So it is understandable
that Congress wants to back
up and take a new look at
the aid business. And the
people are way ahead of Con-
gress. The dollar is in grow
ing trouble. Our prosperous
allies are showing little in
clination to share our bur-
dens of world philanthropy.
In many countries that cla-

special privilege perpetuate
the ills we had hoped to cure.
It's time for a reassessment
