Protestant bodies con­tinue to adopt resolutions giving their views of the impact a Catholic candi­date's religion would have upon him if he were elected President.

—In Marsh alltown. Iowa, the North Iowa conference of ¥he Methodist Church asked ministers to sneak to their eongresations about the need for "wise decisions" in the 3960 balloting, because of the Catholic C h u r ch's "historic position" regarding "control

. f i v e r i n d i v i d u a l m e m b e r s , either as private citizens or holders of political office." The call came is a resolution.

—In Kansas City, Kan., 2.000 delegates to the nation­al convention of the Ameri­can Baptist Association unani­mously adopted a resolution ©pposing the election of a Catholic as President.

THE BAPTIST group's ac­tion came after its president, T>r. Hoyt Chastain of Malvern, Ark., told delegates: "No man can be loyal to the United States and the Vatican at the •fine time."

Association officials report thp Baptist body has more than 600.000 members in some 3.000 independent Missionary Baptist churches, mainly in the South, Southeast and Southwest.

—In Ann Arbor. Mich., "the Detroit Conference of The Methodist Church adopted a resolution declaring it would be "repugnant"' to bar a Cath­olic from Ihe Presidency be­cause of his religion.

THE CONFERENCE added, however, that a Catholic can­didate should be expected to -ftate his position on birth control, the appointment of a UJ5. Ambassador to the Vati­can, and public aid to parochi­al school children, such as fells ride< and lunches.

- -IN SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. Methodist Bishop Ivan Lee Holt of St Louis said that; he aerees that a Catholic has the rieht to be president of the United States but that he doesn't think the Methodist

>ple will vote for a CatMft-r

Bishop Holt said Methodists tliould remember the saving of their founder, John Wes­ley. that "we Methodists are the enemies of none and the friends of all."

—In Sherwood. T!)re.. 33 members of the Stafford Bap­tist church petitioned a dele­gate to the Democratic nation­al convention to oppose nomi­nation of a Catholic. He pub-liclv rejected the petition.

State Sen. Monroe Sweet-land, a Methodist, labeled it as a request for a religious oualification for the presi­dency. The petition argued that a Catholic would "even­tually jeopardize our histori­cal stand for separation ef Church and State."

SEN. SWEETLANO said in a written reply that the group's petition is "a concept so contrary to our American policy that I hope you will also reject it upon further re­flection and study."

Delegates to the Bemo-®Pfitio nominating convention are pledged by law to support Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas-aacbusetts. a Catholic, who won the Oregon primary flec­tion.

TRI JTLLO FAILS SAN JUAN, P.R. — The re­

gime of Dominican strongman Rafael Trujillo failed in a plot to embarrass the Apostolic Nuncio, according to reliable Information reaching here,

Mr. Trujillo sought to-force Archbishop Lino Zanini to aerve as unwilling "host1- at a trumped-up "reception" for government officials, includ­ing himself and his brother, ttominican President Hector T r u j i l l o . . t h e i n f o r m a t i o n itatps.

ALLEGED PURPOSE of tilt Scheme was to make it ap­pear that the Papal Nuncio, under pressure from the re­gime. had patched up his dif­ferences with the' Trujillo brothers.

However, it was reported, the plan backfired when Archbishop Zanini. refused to admit the "guests" — among

' them the Trujillos. members of the diplomatic corps and government officials — who fhowed up at the nunciature lor the reception.

SAY REGIME RED Three groups of exiled Cu­

ban leaders have issued state­ments accusing the govern­ment of Premier Fidel Castro of setting up a communist regime in Cuba and attacking religion.

IN MIAMI, a Cuba Chris­tian Democratic Movement in Exile was organized. Earlier in June the movement an­nounced that it had suspend­ed its activities in Cuba be­cause "only the Communist party may carry out fully and unimpeded its propa g a n d a and activity."

Declaring that a commun­ist regime is "fighting and undermining . . . the demo­cratic institutions of the Cu­ban people." the statement issued bv the movement in exile said it will work for a free, democratic and Chris­tian Cuba.

IN MEXICO CITY the Dem­ocratic Revolutionary Front of Cuba — to which the Christian Democratic group belongs — released a similar statement.

It accused the Castro gov­ernment of following "gross­ly materialistic" pdlic'es. To

(emphasize them, it said, "this reign of terror has ei*adicated the name of God from the preamble of the constitution of 1940." In addition, it stat­ed. "our national sovereignty has been handed over to Rus-so-Chinese imperialism."

It declared that the Demo­cratic Revolutionary Front will try to overthrow the Cas­tro regime, and restore the 1940 constitution.

IN SAN JOSE, Costa Bica, the Cuban fonstitutional Cru­sade. headed by former Cas­tro aides, charged the regime with betraying "the revolu­tion. Cuba and our Christian civilization."

Attorneys Joseph Dush and George Dion, representing the Amish, told the committee that, the Department, of Edu­cation has set no standards for their examination of schools. "There is no set pro­cedure and standards should be determined by the legisla­ture.''

Henry Hershberger, Apple Creek, chairman of the Amish School Committee, told the legislators:

Bias Still In Campaign

NEW YORK — (NTC) — The director of the Fair Cam­paign Practices Committee has stated that the Wiscon­sin primary definitely indi­cated that religious bias will be a centnuing factor in the 1960 presidential campaign.

Bruce L. Fclknor made the statement in an article pub­lished by the Anti Defama­tion League of the B nai B'rith, American Jewish fra­ternal organization. He said that the real winners on the W i s c o n s i n c a m p a i g n w e r e bigots who found that they can still ''exploit religious tensions and upstage the po­litical pros."

Mr. Felknor said-much anti-Catholic material sent out, during the Wisconsin nrimary wras mailed to Catholics. He explained that "the usual source of hate literature is a fanatic who believes his diatribes contain revealed truth and that the Roman Catholic Church is a threat to life, liberty arid the flag."

He added that many of these "zealots" believe that individual Catholics are "sim­ple benighted folk taker in by a Popish plot" and that once they see the light, thev will leave their church and convert to fundamentalist Protestantism.

ers are self-educated. Why should we use college-educat­ed teachers when we don't use college-educated preach­ers?"

"The Amish observe the law unless it crosses their basic religious beliefs, Dush pointed out." "Then they adopt partial withdrawal and follow a course of pasfive resistance.''

"THEY HAVE NO poor re­lief problem, and little juve­nile delinquency. Their cloth­ing is distinctive and they separate themselves from the rest of the world. They can't do that very well in modern schools. These people know that if a child does go to a modern school, it will no longer be an Amish child," the lawyers said.

Three legal actions have been tried in Ohio against the Amish by local school offi­cials, but none have been set­tled.

BESIDES THE SCHOLAS­TIC and teacher standards, the state requires children to attend school until their graduation from high school <W age 18. The Amish object to having their children in school beyond age 14 and the comple­tion of the eighth grade.

County school board mem­bers and representatives of the <State Department of Edu­cation will testify at the next meeting this month.

TWO DOCTORS

Ask Changes In Premarital Talks

SAX ANTONIO. Tex—Two prominent Catholic doctor* have called for radical chang­es in organized premarital lectures dealing wiih sex from a .scientific viewpoint.

Dr. Herbert Ratner of Cfcl-coga told the 27th national

.Catholic Family Life t'onven-

.tion that the best sex educa­tion lies in "giving a dynamic appreciation of the virtues.'*

The best guide for good marital relation*! is common

-sense and natural instinct, added Dr. Ratr.er. professor of medicine at the Stritch School of Medicine and com-rm-Moner of public health in Oak Park. 111.

Dr. John R. Cavanagh, a Washington psychiatrist and a leader in the development of current premarital counsel­ing techniques, said some of the information imparted in

P< 'iiv Eirlimattn Had Vatican Passport

VATICAN CITY — 'Radio, NC) -t—L'Osservatore Romano ha« denied that a Vatican passport was ever issued to Adolf Eichmann. nazi leader charged with the murder of millions of Jews.

The report appeared in a West German daily and was carried by wire services. It claimed that the nazi had traveled to Argentina on a Vatican passport in 1950.

Mr. Eichmann was seized by Israeli agents in Argentina and taken to Israel, where he is now awaiting trial.

• The Vatican City daily said: #l\Ve know that the person in question never had a "Vati­can passport.' not even one is­sued under a fictitious name, because it is not the Holy See s custom to issue such a document to people who have no legal right to them.''

premarital medical talks as they are now given is useful — but not nearly as useful as other subject matter would be.

"It would seem more desir­able to discuss with the en­gaged couples asp^h of the psychology of interpersonal relations, rather than give them a diluted versipn of sex activity with emphasis on its mechanical aapects," Or. C«r* anagh said.
