WHEN the identical question
was asked two years ago by
Gallup Poll reporters, 57 per
cent of Americans polled felt
that Federal aid should go only
to public schools; 36 per cent
favored such aid for Catholic
and other private schools; and 7
per cent expressed no opinion.
The American Institute of
Public Opinion, which conducts
the Gallup Poll, said the present
survey findings indicate that the
change in sentiment on the
Federal aid issue has come
largely from Protestants.
The institute published the
following table showing the Pro
testant opinion today on Fede
ral aid to schools in compari
son to the sentiment in March,
1961;
Feb. 1963, Public schools
only. . .50%, March, 1961, 63%.
Feb. 1963, Catholic, private
schools as well. . .42%, March,
1961, 29%.
Feb. 1963, No opinion. . .8%,
March, 1961, 8%.
The institute said the change
among Catholics on the Fede
ral aid issue is less marked
than among Protestant voters.
It published the following table
on the sentiment expressed by
Catholics;
Feb. 1963, Public schools
only, . .23%, March, 1961, 28%.
Feb, 1963, Catholic, private
schools as well. . .71%, March,
1961, 66%.

WASHINGTON — President

sals would involve both public

in an effort to increase med

In a special message, "On
Improving American Health,"
the President made a variety

of requests, most of them sim-

sent Congress and some asking

He did not discuss Social Secur

Golden Lions Rule
Over Chamblee Five
BY JAMES DARDEN
St. Plus’ Golden Lions ran to
a 47 to 43 victory over Cham
blee Saturday night. Cham
blee jumped off to an early
lead at 11 to 4.
After calling a time out the
Lions battled back to trail by
one, 12 to 13, at the end of the
first quarter. The Lions staged
a second quarter rally to own a
27 to 23 half time lead.

During the second half the
game remained close. The
Lions held between a three and
six point lead the entire second
half.
Actually the difference in the
game came on the foul shots.
Chamblee only managed to hit
eleven of 28 charity tossers
while the Lions connected on
19 of 29.
Balanced scoring also helped
the Lions cause. Jimmy Dar
den, Denny Wigbles, and Bill
Means scored 12, 11, and 10
points respectively to lead the
Lions.
Leading the entire game the
Lady Lions romped past the
Chamblee girls 57 to 42. Kitty
Hynes and Mary Kane led the
girls to victory.

ter to ministers of its 98mem
ber churches in the state. The
letter urged the pastors to rally
their congregations to telephone
and petition campaigns directed
at the General Assembly, call
ing for defeat of legislation for
state aid to private schools.
THE LETTER was read (Feb.
10) in a number of the chur
ches. It has been estimated
there are some 25,000 mem
bers of the 96 Baptist chur
ches in the state.
The letter did not mention
Catholic schools directly, but
the campaign was aimed prin
cipally against Catholic school
students. Legislation has been
proposed which would provide
students in Catholic and other
private schools with certain
textbooks and with guidance
counseling services at state
expense.
The letter said it is propos
ed "to spend state and local
tax money for the support of
private schools of which the
overwhelming majority are of
one religious faith, thereby con
stituting state support of that
religion."
the Hill-Burton Hospital Con
struction Act. This program
grants qualified hospitals—
public and private—Federal
assistance for construction
C08tS.
Mr. Kennedy asked that Hill-
Burton be modified to include a
program to help modernize ex
isting hospitals. He also called
for an increase in the amount
available for grants to nursing
homes. He wants it to go from
$20 million to $50 million a
year.
The President said the nation
is dangerously short of physici
ans, dentists and nurses. Med
ical and dental schools do not
graduate enough students to
keep pace with population
growth and the 550,000 pro
fessional nurses and 225,000
practical nurses are too few
in number for high quality care,
he stated.
MR. KENNEDY again urged
congressional adoption of his
recommendation to put Federal
funds into the construction and
expansion of medical and dental
schools, public ans private. He
also urged Federal financial
assistance for needy students in
these schools. Neither was suc
cessful in the past Congress.
The President recommended
financial assistance to expand
teaching facilities for nurses’
training, including graduate ed
ucation. He also asked Federal
financial help for nursing stud
ents.
Other recommendations in
volving public and private eff
orts Included his request for
planning grants to support
studies of hospital facilities
in local communities.
The President's message
carried no figures on the total
cost of his program. Legis
lation to carry out his recom
mendations will soon be trans
mitted to Congress, the mes
sage said.

Pilgrims To Attend
Seton Beatification
A SMILING Pope John XXIII promised to relay many of the candles presented to him by the Roman
clergy to Catholic faithful behind the Iron Curtain. It is an old tradition that candles — symbolizing
the light of faith — are presented to the Holy Father on Candlemas Day. During the ceremony, the
Pontiff said he was sending the candles to "the four corners of the earth", but he laid special
emphasis on those going to the "Church of Silence" in the Slavic countries.
