Enrollment of Parochial
Students In Missouri
Schools Is Snowballing
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. WV-A
movement by Roman Catholic
parents to take their children out
of parochial schools and enroll
them in public schools is snow
balling in Missouri.
The parents are rebelling be
cause the state won’t transport
their children to the parochial
schools.
The move started without no
tice when 75 parochial students
moved into the seven-room, 150
pupil school at Centertown Thurs
day. The next day 100 descended
on the two-room Osage Bend
School, and 85 on the school at
Vienna.
In the St. Louis area, Catholic
parents say they will close pa
rochial schools next fall and turn
thousands of children into the
public school system.
Money is at the root of the
movement.
“We can’t afford to keep on
voting bond issues for public
schools and paying parochial tui
tion, too,” said Garland Noonan
of Pacific, Mo., leader in the
drive.
The Catholics had sought relief
through the Missouri legislature,
pushing a bill that would allow
parochial and private school chil
dren to ride on public school
buses.
But a House committee killed
the bill Tuesday, citing Missouri’s
constitution.
“No money shall ever be taken
from the public treasury, directly
or indirectly, in aid of any church,
sect or denomination of any re
ligion, or in aid of any priest,
preacher, minister or teacher
thereof,” the constitution says.
So far, the Catholic clergy has
taken no part publicly.
HALFWAY MARK
The upholstery class meeting on
Monday and Friday evening from
7-10 will pass the halfway mark
tonight, advises Mrs. Jean Burand,
District Home Demonstration agent.
Work on some pieces is coming
along nicely, but Mrs. Burand
and Mrs. Lyle, teachers, would like
to urge all participants to make
special efforts to attend each
remaining session at Our Savior’s
Lutheran Church so the chosen
completion date of May 24 may be
met.

Kremlin Faces Up
To Possibility It
Could Be Defeated
WASHINGTON W — For the
first time, the Soviet Union is
frankly facing up to the possibility
it could be defeated in a war, an
Air Force analyst concludes after
a study of Russian military writ
ings.
Further, he finds that the So
viet high command is not of one
mind on nuclear age strategy. Rus
sian military conservatives, he
says, “regard the nuclear rocket
only as a new and important ad
dition to the armament locker.
“The radicals call it ‘decisive’
in the sense that it reduces, or
eliminates, the need for other
weapons.”
Lt. Col. Murray Green, the Air
Force’s associate chief of research
and analysis, reached these con
clusions in an analysis of the first
comprehensive discourse on mili
tary doctrine to appear in the So
viet Union since 1926.
The book, entitled, “Military
Strategy,” is a compilation of mili
tary writings of 15 high-ranking
officials, including Soviet Marshal
V. D. Sokolovsky, who also was
the study’s editor.
It was issued last year in a
first edition of 20,000 copies, all
of which were sold almost imme
diately.
In his analysis, made available
to the Associated Press, Green
points out the book is packed with
doctrinal contradictions due to the
authors’ diverse military theories.
But, he says, the book must be
taken seriously as a reflection of
Soviet military thinking “despite
its shortcomings.”
“Military strategy” has done
more than any other book “to en
courage realism in the Soviet Union
about nuclear war,” writes Green.
It concedes the possibility of
civilian casualties “in the tens of
millions” and has this to say
about battlefield casualties:
“It is possible that entire sub
divisions, units and even army
groups will be destroyed. However,
this should not have any bearing
on the speed of operations.”
Green figures this means “the
Soviets expect to fight to win. They
have not succumbed to the de
featism which argues that de
struction will be so great as to
make pointless a need to prosecute
the war in the most vigorous way
possible.”

Rockefellers Honeymoon
CANACAS. Venezuela 00—Gov
Nelson Rockefeller and his brid<
honeymooned today amid the idyl
lic beauty of his Venezuelan moun
taintop ranch while debate con
tinued back home on the effect of
the marriage on his political fu
ture.
Chatting in Spanish with news
men, Rockefeller predicted his sec
ond marriage will be blissful.
The governor, 54, and his bride,
an attractive woman of 36, stood
atop a wing of their private plane
for a brief news conference.
He brushed aside questions about
his political future.
Political circles in the United
States were divided over the ef
fect the marriage will have on his
career.
Some felt the romance was an
act of political suicide for the gov
ernor. They noted that no divorced
man has won the presidency of the
United States.
Others believed Rockefeller's
emergence into a new life of hap
piness with his attractive wife
might enhance his popularity.

SOMEBODY ELSE
There’s a clever young fellow named somebody else;
I There’s nothing that fellow can’t do
He’s busy from morning till way late at night
Just substituting for you.
You’ve a worn out excuse at the tip of your tongue.
When really the truth of the whole matter is,
You simply don’t want to bother.
So much to do in this weary old world,
So much, and the workers are few.
And somebody else is all weary and worn,
Just substituting for you.
’Tis time that his faithful old somebody else
Gets a much needed vacation
Suppose you start substituting for him and build up your reputation.
Next time you are asked to do something worthwhile
Just give them this reply:
"If somebody else can give time and support,
Afy goodness, so can I.”

Stripped to the Skin
NEW YORK UP* — It was not
just another holdup. There were
some things missing that took it
out of the ordinary.
Two robbers got $3,000 Friday
from the Zenobia Co., pistachio
nut importers, with offices in low
er Manhattan.
But the thieves did more than
strip the till.
When the owner, John Germack,
returned from lunch, he found six
office employes, including three
young women, standing there in
the all-together. “What the hell
is going on here?” Germack asked.
He found out quickly enough.
The gunmen made him take off
his duds, too, before fleeing with
the firm’s payroll.
