Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State

Judging by the national readion to the Catholic bishops' denunciation of birth control, the issue of Catholicism in the White House will overshadow all other church-state issues until July, and perhaps until November. Here in Washington the general sentiment of the "informed observers" is that the religious issue has come to stay in the presidential campaign, and that the chances of Senator Kennedy's nomination and election have been seriously injured. Everybody concedes that he can have second place on the Democratic ticket if he wants it, but who wants second place in a year when most of the political prophets are picking Nixon?

Actual date unknown. Circa 1960.
