Every article that I have
read in The Star relative to
the struggle in Wet Nam
between the government and
the BuddhistS carries the
sentence The president Cor
Diem) is a Roman Catholic"
If he were a Lutheran or
Baptist would this fact be
pointed out? 1 would guess
not. Possibly the word
Christian" might be used.
1t is reasonable to assume
that between one-fourth and
one-third of your readers
are Roman Catholic. A
statement, such as the
above entioned one,
thrown in at the end Of a
news item seems to carry
the inference that this is
what one can expect when
Roman Catholics gain con-
troll. It is very disquieting
to one who loves his reli-
gion and knows Of the many
wonderful things being done
all over the world by Cath
olics as individuals and by
the representatives of tn e
church in the form Of its
bishops and missionaries,
particularly the JeSuits.
My 11-year-old encyclo-
pedia states that there were
over 2 million Catholics in
Wet Nam in the last census
so Diem does not stand
alone in a pagan world.

Is another Catherine de
Medici emerging in our gen.
Grafton? One can not help
but admire the beauty of
Mrs. Ngo Dinh Nhu of
South Wet Nam. But what
use is she making of these
qualities?
Catherine de Medici also
possessed beauty, ability,
and personal charm. But
what did she do with them?
Because Of her religious IA
naticism and the horrible
crimes committed as a re-
suit Of it, her name is now
anathema to all enlightened
people.
Seeing and hearing Mrs.
Nhu on television, one can
not help conclude that she
is motivated by a sadiStic
fervor, that is a result Of
her recent conversion to
Catholicism. That she and
her family are bent on es-
tabliShing an arrogant the
ocracy, there seems to be no
doubt. Here are her own
words as reported in the
American press:
II would beat such provoc-
ateurs 10 times more If
they wore monks robes, and
I would clap hands at see
ing another monk barbecue
show, for one cannot be
responsible for the madness
of Others"
If the US. Government
supports a regime like this,
1t must be ready to be cas-
tigated for supplying help
to a reactionary and tyran-
nical government.
Our money could be put
to better use, besides violat-
ing the very basic concept Of
the principles Of our own
government, regarding the
separation of church and
state and liberty of con-
science.

OfMcKinIeyHigh, Dies

Frank C. Daniel. the princi-
pal Of Mckinley High School
for 36 years and a strong advo-
cate Of combining hand and
mind in education, died Of
cancer yesterday at his North
west Washington home. He
was S6.
.One Of the old-timers in
District educational circles.
Mr.. Daniel had served with the
system as both q teacher and
administrator before his retire.
ment in 1947.
II would folloy a school
teaching career all over again."
he said at his retirement. Il
have never wished to follow
any other"
His care for knowledge for
its own sake and for people as
people was reflected in his per-
sonal life and his long career.
A colleague noted at his retire.
ment that under Mr.. Daniels
direction Mckinley High has
been training its student body
in a happy combination Of
hand and mind. in the dignity
Of tools and instruments as
well as In the convincing forces
Of history and languages"
Interests Were Varied
In his personal life, he was a
mathematician, music devotee,
jeweler, cabinetmaker and
fisherman.
The son Of the city's first d.
rector Of music in the public
schools, Joseph H. Daniel, he
took the first technical courses
ever offered in Washington
public schools.
He was graduated from Dick
enson College at Carlisle, Pa,
and then from George Wash
ington University, where he
was a member Of Phi Beta |
Kappa, in 1908. Shortly after
leaving college he was ap-
pointed a mathematics teacher |
at the manual training school
which later became Mckinley. |
Nine years later he was made
principal.
The making of things be-
came his hobby, and he turned
the basement of his Jocelyn |
street home into a metal and
woodwork shop. There he
fashioned jewelry and fur
niture. which he modestly re-
ferred to as his chips and
shavings."
Believed In Activities
Another facet Of q complete
education that he promoted
was extracurricular activities,
and he encouraged his school
to include enough clubs and
societies to catch the interests |
of every student.
Mckinley still retains the
traditional academic honor
roll" he said near the end Of
his career, but even more
coveted now Is q place upon
its Honor Roll Society, to
which good scholarship is a re-
quisite, in addition to service
to the school and to the COM
munity."
The recipient of many
awards, he served as chairman
Of Washington's Board of
Principals during the 1940s and
was a member Of the Chevy
Chase Masonic Lodge No. AZ.
In 1884 he married the
former Evelyn N. Naylor, q
