upon children of minority

Gil, this meaningless, shallow
display becomes a substitute for
vital, authentic religion with
deep commitment. This public
school religion with its hollow
ritualism becomes all too easy a
substitute for serious religious
education, and thus furnishes a
spurious excuse for the evasion
of responsibility to provide for
children a full, demanding and
meaningful religious education.
This responsibility, the Coun.
Gil said, must fall exclusively
upon the clergy, the religious
educators and the parents. Pub
lie schools have no business en-
tering into the field of religious
education or indoctrination."
The Councils letter pointed
out that about IS per cent of
Jewish children in the Greater
Washington area receive a for

"(3) Unconstitutional viola

principles of separation of

In this respect, the Council
said, the Supreme Court has in
terpreted the First Amendment
to the Constitution to forbid
public schools to devote time,
facilities, personnel, funds or
auspices to religious instruction,
practices or rituals :"
THE Supreme Court has thus

meeting of Rockville Demo
cratic precinct workers called
to discuss provisions of the
Hatch Act.
While admitting that School
Board elections are non-parti-
san, Sandison said they are
generally highly controversial,
making it advisable for county
employees to not actually in
volve themselves in these cleo
tons"
"Even though this (School
Board) is a non-partisan cleo

are actually various groups
running states of candidates
with formal platforms, provid-
ing for considerable contro-

Opinion of Board
His comments came in reply
to a question about whether
county employees can work for
Board of Education election.
The question was one of more
than two dozen submitted in
writing to Sandison before the
meeting. Answers presented by
the chairman were concurred

members, county officials said.

JOHNSON WAS GRANTED a reprieve
from the Army ahead Of schedule and
eventually was allowed to play my natural
position, which he felt was third base.
Somehow or other he didn't cut 1t. He
opened the season with home run that
helped beat Detroit and almost everybody,

1t may be too early to hand down an

NYM LOSE OR DRAW
An Even Swap: Nobody
Had a Good 90 Season

MAYBE THE MOST OPTIMISTIC way
to regard the Senator's latest trade devel-
opment is to remember that General
Manager George Selkirk, who engineered
1t, was picking at familiar bones. Until he
took command at D. c. Stadium couple of
weeks ago Old Twinkletoes was a cog in
the Baltimore organization. In brief, he
wasn't dealing with total strangers
On behalf of his new utilization, Selkirk
accepted Infielder Mary Breeding, Out
fielder Barry Shetrone and Pitcher Art
Quirk in swap for our Bob johnson and
Pete Burnside. You'd have to say several
things for and about the swap, such as:
= lit was 81, Washington, as far as
personnel was concerned.

1862. ~

Ivy Lacquer Burnside) he demands one
in exchange (Quirk). What's more, from
the same school-Dartmouth
! +"This doesn't mean we're stopping for
a breather." (The quotes are Selkirk's).
1T WOULD BE PATIENTLY foolish to
pass judgment on the five-player deal at
this time. BY next September opinions will
be welcomed, although they'll be more than
opinions by then. The point is that when
sSelkirk was a Yankee outfielder he moved
fast for big man, hence the tag of Twin
skletoes. As GIN Of the Senators he's picked
up 10 new players in the last 10 days, in
GLIDING half dozen minor league draftees
to the tune Of $4,000.
This is modest monetary figure, but the
Senators at present also are modest club,
even to the point Of carrying this debatable
virtue Tin this instance) to an. extreme.
Nonetheless, Selkirk is moving fast for
new man in a front office and already he's
looking forward TO his next move. This one
very well may involve pitcher, now that
Twinkletoes has picked up an outfielder in
Shetrone without reduction In his staff.

had only four outfielders prior TO the trade.
Nor is this an impressive group, aside from
Chuck Hinton. The others are Jim Piersall

Perhaps there is moral Of sort at

Marv Breeding, the Sena-

most embarrassing night in

Breeding fumbled Bud

Hubs Takes
Rookie Honors

BOSTON, Dec. 6 (AP).-Ken
Hubbs. the rangy Cubs second
baseman who excited the base
ball world last season by setting
two fielding records, is the Ma

Year for 1862 in a landslide.
The quick, Sure-handed Cali
fornian, still II days short Of
his 21st birthday, was named on

by a panel Of the Baseball Writ
ers Association of America,
which announced the results
last night.

burgh Pirates fine hitting

the other vote.
Hubbs broke two major
league records for second base

Red Sox In 1913. The marks
were rs consecutive games with
out an error and 4l8 success
sive chances without an error.
Doerr had strings Of 70 games
and Ala chances.
Hubs batted $50 with five
homers, 40 runs batted in and

he didn't play much. But I like
him.
"All I saw of Shetrone was in
batting practice in September,
but he can run and hit a long
ball and he's big. We don't have
any size in our other young
outfielders.
"You remember Quirk pitched
against us In spring training
and shut us out for four or five
innings. Then he shared a shut
out over us in the regular sea-
son, and BANKED us for five
innings in that ball game where
we finally scored IL runs in
one inning off of some other
pitchers" Mickey recalled.

in Florida as a starter, and also
try him in the bullpen.
