t'olyar) A Riqht Disregarded HE commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been upheld in its right to force merchants of orthodox Jewish faith. Seventh-day Adventists and all others to elose their businesses on Sundays. The US Supreme court, with three dis- st ntinc votes decided the Pennsylvania blue laws were constitutional and no restraint on tho free exercise of religion. Thr Jewish merchants had pointed out that their religion required that they close from sundown Friday through sundown Saturday. The law prohibits doing business on day," which to the courts means Sunday.

The majority reasoning was that merchants affected are still free to exercise their religion. the cost to themselves presumably being no part of the court's business. The purported intent of these laws is civil, not religious, the theory heing that the state is entitled to prescribe that all workers shall have one day of rest a week. Tf the real purpose were as represented, It would he easy enough to order closing on one day each week. The decision will undoubtedly be satisfactory to an overwhelming majority of people, whether Sunday is a religious day to them or not.

Rut one of the hazards of majority rule is that the reasonable rights of minorities may be disregarded. The fact that it is constitutional does not erase this aspect of the matter. Wasted Gifts THE DIRECTOR of a study of national voluntary health organizations says that too much of the public's money is being wasted by these groups He says many of them use poor accounting methods, mislead the public with too-gcneral explanations of budgets, and have too many small and inefficient local units. Fund-raising itself often costs too much. Dr.

Robert H. Hamlin of the school of public health. Harvard university, was head of the staff investigating 5fi agencies in a project financed by the Rockefeller foundation. He points out that such voluntary agencies not self-contained little they are public trusts, handling the American money, and have the duty to report fairly and completely on how it is used He says it is difficult for the public to know just how the money is being spent and how the of one agency compare with the work of another. Pennsylvania has a solicitations act, which makes it mandatory for fund raisers to get State permits Rut many charities merely get non profit organization charters and thus do not have to account for the spending of their funds.

This solicitations act (passed in 1925) allows professional campaigners to collect as much as 15 percent as their share of a campaign. In the State Senate now is a bill cutting that to 10 percent. Possibly what the State needs is a charities disclosure law, which would make it necessary for them to submit financial statements. The public also has a minor form of control in the United Fund, which scrutinizes some of the financial practices, goals and permance of member agencies. The American public is remarkably generous about the voluntary health and welfare agencies.

In return, it should have sure ways of knowing that its money is being used honestly and effectively.

The farmers have been given small plots to cultivate for their own use and for sale. They arc urged to produce meat.

milk, eggs poultry, and other foodstuffs Individual ownership and incentive are being called upon to overcome the famine Curiously enough, while we go on destroying incentive and individual initiative in our country, Russia and China have both proved that neither country can produce enough food to keep the people alive without resorting again to these needed stimuli. How strange that so many leaders of American life in religion, industry, labor, education and politics, keep urging more socialization upon the American people, right in the face of its repeatedly demonstrated failure in the countries that have made all-out attempts to set up Socialist or communist regimes. Pottstown RD ANTI RED Green Cheese To the Editor: The content of the President's speech, urging an all-out sacrifice on the part of the people in order to lie the first to reach the moon, has reaffirmed my childhood belief that the moon is composed of green cheese. Conseqpently. I can only state that I ap prove the effort to reach the moon first since, at the rate we are spending the wealth ot the nation, the cheese of which the moon is comprised will be the only thing left for all of us to eat Mont Clare EPH Kennedy's Change of Heart To the Editor: When .1 F.

Kennedy elected president of the US like most Americans, hoped and prayed he would be a good, strong leader However, in the short time that he is in office he left a cloud of gloom over all. I am refering to the time Cuba was in- v.ided The communists claimed the United Slates was invading Cuba and laid the whole blame on this country. However, President Kennedy said the United States had nothing to do with the invasion of Cuba, that it was the rebels that were doing the invading from some secret islands few days after the invasion was defeated. President Kennedy stated he would take the blame for the invasion. Also I heard President Kennedy didn't want anything to do at first with that tractor for prisoners swap.

Then a few days later he came out in favor of it. No deals bv the government, only by private and independent people This is twice he gave two different stones on each subject This is no darn good When he makes a statement he should stick to it, not belittle himself. How many of these Cuba war prisoners will he communist trained. If they ever come to this country they will cause nothing but trouble one wa.v or another.

CRANE JANET aged 27, is the harassed mother whose husband is feuding because the children keep him awake at night, she began, husband insists we give the babies sleeping drugs to keep them quiet. says all the men at his office say their doctors prescribe sleeping drugs to keep babies from bothering parents at night. "I hate to think of such a barbarous thing, but what else can I do to give my husband a quiet It is rank barbarity to dope up babies with sleeping potions just because you jittery fathers can't sleep ut out your cigarets and also begin attending church regularly, so you can gain a proper perspective. Then eliminate the chemical tobacco prod to jitters, and also gain a more placid perspective. NO JOB is so important that you should jeopardize your family life for a mere matter of a few extra dollars or a political victory.

Until your children get into the teens, you certainly are morally obligated to give them your major attention. Healthy children usually sleep at night, unless their routine has been broken by foolish fathers who waken them to show them off or plav with them. During the flu or when sick with other ailments, a child may cry at night. Or if it is hungry, wet or otherwise in pain But if you use the simple psychology of dog trainers, you will find that children usually sleep soundly. You new parents ought to get a book on training dogs, for the animal trainers can teach you superb psychology about rearing any young creature, whether canine or human.

IN A nutshell, their strategy is this: the good; penalize the bad, and make You parents often err by those exceptions. Thus, today you punish the child for naughtiness but tomorrow when company arrives, you smile tolerantly and let the youngster perform the same naughty act without reprimand. That confuses youngsters. Or, if guests arrive, instead of letting them tiptoe into the nursery to view the sleeping infant, vou egotists wake the baby to see if he will coo or otherwise show off. If your guests crave show off behavior, then you parents do it, but for heaven's sake, let the baby stav asleep Your job as parents is to produce a welk- trained child who becomes a self-reliant adult.

Inside Television By I STARR AROUND THE STUDIO LOTS: only June, but out at Warner Brothers things are already in high gear for the 19fil-62 season.

Interpreting The Laos Neutrality Move Is Doubted Bv .1.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst PreMdent Kennedy undoubtedly knows now, even if he only suspected it before, that any agreements of substance the West might make with the Soviet Union can only be in the nature of pcasement, and short-term appeasement at that. You can mark the reiterated ngreement between Kennedy and Soviet Premier Khrushchev tin neutrality for Laos and forget The Communists didn't let the 1954 agreement on neutrality interfere with their efforts to take over the country, and they won't now. Khrushchev went to Vienna to find out just how far he could go with Communist expansionism without war. Kennedy went to tell him that he go far without running into serious trouble.

Khrushchev didn't back down on any of his major objectives, such as Berlin or his attempt to get the West to disarm in order to make Sino-Soviet expansion easier. But he is reported to have listened soberly to warnings and to have agreed to talk further before making any breaks. That makes a score for Kennedy's policy of containment through frankness, and solidifies his standing in Britain, whose Prime Minister Harold Macmillan counts heavily on just such a tactic. It does not make a score for the idea, if anyone still really entertains it, that ttie East-West conflict will ever be by anything except defeat of Sino- Soviet policy. Khrushchev changed his mind about pushing that conflict to its ultimate decision.

Anti if he did try to change, the Soviet I'nion would lose her influence with Communist China and so her leadership of international communism. Theie is speculation that Khrushchev figures he can wait for division in Europe, and the arrival of less adamamant men than Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer on the scene, rather than fly now in the face of Kennedy's strongly supported position All the signs point, however, to a new shock impending for Khrushchev with regard to the unity of Europe Britain is moving closer and closer, with a final decision possible at any time, toward dissolution of the economic barriers between the Commonwealth, the Outer Seven Free Trade area, and the European Common Market. Willy-nilly, this will involve a parallel welding of political In economic and political this could transcend the accomplishments of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
