Speaking at a cottage meeting at Bountiful, Mr. Rampton con-tinued, "Because of his record as an obstructionist in the U. S. Senate, Senator Bennett will be the principal target of support-ers of the administration. On the other hand the ultra-conservati- ve elements in the Republican party, both within the state of Utah and nationwide, will be making every effort to secure his n." Mr. Rampton pointed out that in Utah a large segment of the population was affiliated with neither political party and that in order to win the election, the Democratic candidate must be able to get the support of these uncommitted voters. "In order to win the Demo-cratic party must nominate a candidate who will vigorously and aggressively attack Senator Bennett's record. The people of this state overwhelmingly sun-po- rt the position of the Kennedy administration on most major issues. The opposition of Senator Bennett to the Kennedy program must be brought home forcibly to the voters," Mr. Rampton said.

Whether or not religion should be taught in American public schools is causing a wave of controversy from church officials, civil authorities and parents all over the nation. In the March Good Housekeeping, William Peters poses the question: "How Much Religion in Our Public Schools?" He points out that in every town and city some public schools are violating state laws and Supreme Court rulings by demanding that students participate in religious practices during schooltime. Individuals from minority groups must take part in services based on liturgy of larger denominations. "The Bill of Rights itself deals specifically with those areas in which the liberties of a minority or an individual cannot be subjected to majority rule. The crucial words with regard to freedom are: Congress shall make no law respecting an estab-lishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . precisely what they mean has been the subject of increasing de-bate and court interpretation over the past seventy years."
