PAGE TWO erenow two ’ SENATOR A. i SAM ERVIM — J Washington Congress last week sent back to committee the bill to repeal the requirement under the National Defense Edu cation Act that each student ask- j ing for a grant or loan under i the Act must take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and to defend it against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. I voted to recom mit the bill. Loyalty Oath I am unable to see any reason ab’e objection to requiring the taking of a loyalty oath by a student applying for a grant or a loan under the Act. As passed by Congress in 1958, the Act re quires each student to take an anti-Ccmmunist oath. I have sympathetic understanding of the position of those who object to singling out any group of Amer icans and requiring them to take a so-called anti-Communist oath; I do feel that the Mur.dt Amend ment, which I supported, was a I TOP GRAIN-SAVER H |§J OF THE 13 -FOOTERS ™ H New McCORMICK’ No. 101 H H SELF-PROPELLED fel See the all-new No. 101.

How any person can find this oath offensive I am unable to understand. This is true be cause the oath is in subs.ance the same as the one which is required of all American citi zens who seek to exercise any of the privileges of their citizen ship. The oath to support the Constitution of the Unhed States is required of public officials, members of the Armed Services and voters seeking to register.

I do not favor, however, singling out any group of per sons and requiring them to take an oath or make an affidavit that is not required of all Ameri can citizens but I am in favor of requiring one who seeks to obtain any benefits from our Government to take an oath that he supports the Constitution which creates our Government. The Mundt Amendment was not voted upon as the Senate adopted the Javits Amendment which was in the nature of a substitute to the Mundt Amend ment. After much discuss ; on, Senator Long proposed that the bill be recommitted. The vote was 49 to 42 in favor of this action. , Coach Tatum Washington was saddened and shocked by the death of Football Coach Jim Tatum.

Bt JAMES MacKENE*" Another evidence of Commun ist influence in American religi ous circles is the increasing sup port of the Communist Party Line by the National Council of Churches. | The most recent indication of this was the action of the coun cil, claiming to speak for 38 million Protestants, in calling for recognition of Red China. From the uproar that was raised, it 1 1 seems that all 38 million Pro- ] I testants protested! J On other occasions we have been confronted with resolutions against universary military t’-ain ing, the atom bomb, the hydro gen bomb, Nato, Seato, progress I weapons of. war—indeed, it I seems, against everythin!: the I Communists are against. All resolutions duly praised in the ' Communist press. If the Nation jal Council of Churches had its way, the conflict between free ' dofrn and tyranny would have been over long ago. On one occasion they even ad vised that America disarm , whether Russia does or not; j trusting that our good example j will shame the Communists, and ; cause them to follow suit!

Probably a few of them are. Others are sincere pacifists. The vast majority are starry-eyed idealists, blissfully ignorant of the satanic nature of the Communist menace. J What should you and I as Christians do? Certainly we should be informed. A multi- ( tude of good books and pamph lets, well-documented, are avail able. and should be studied by every sincere Christian Ameri can. Also, we should be on the lookout for evidence of Commu- j nist influence, and protest as j violently as possible whenever it rears its ugly head. You may find it subtly inserted in - Sun day School literature, or perhaps in some pontific pronouncement of a church council —but wher ever you find it, protest against it. The whole matter boils down to this the function of the Church is to preach the Gospel and win souls. When it monk eys around in politics it i 9 sure to make a monkey of itself.
