and to hear its guests

it was opposed to the projected
New York state constitution
and urged its defeat in the
November 7 referendum, large-
ly on the issue of the pro-
jected repeal in the document
of the constitutional ban on
state funds to religious schools.
The JLC cited 10 reasons
for its stand, all of them in-
volving the Blaine Amend-
ment, which now bars such
state aid. The statement said
that state aid to religious
schools would “spell the event-

school system,” bring “soaring”

Dizzy Dean to Speak At
Mr. Sportsman Banquet
Baseball immortal, Jay Han-
na “Dizzy” Dean will be the
featured speaker at the annual
“Mr. Sportsman” banquet No-
vember 8 at the Sheraton Hotel
in Houston honoring auto race
king A. J. Foyt, Jr.
The banquet is the start of
a big week for Interfaith Char-
ities, Inc., sponsored by mem-
bers of the B’nai B’rith and the
Knights of Columbus. Climax
of “Interfaith Week" will be
the eighth annual Interfaith
Charity Football game between
the University of Houston and
highly regarded Memphis State
at the Astrodome on Saturday,
November 11. Profits from the
banquet are used for 10 Inter-
faith college scholarships while
profits from the football game
go to local charities of both or-
ganizations.
Dean, who is a member of
Baseball’s Hall of Fame
stepped down after 25 years
as a baseball play by play an-
nouncer on TV and radio to
join Falstaff Brewing Corpora-
tion as a good will ambassador.
‘Ole Diz, who played with the
Houston Buffs in the late
1920s, was the last major
league pitcher to win 30 games
in one season, in 1934 for the
Cardinals. He further endeared

Worse Attack or Public
Education in Century
Seen By AJC Report
New York, Oct. 22. (JTA)-
The American Jewish Con-
gress warned today that the
nation faces “the strongest at-
tack mounted in this century
against the principle of public
education" in the efforts to end
the ban on state support of
sectarian schools in New York,
and similar efforts in other
states.
The warning was issued by
Howard M. Squadron, vice-
president of the AJC, in a re-
port to the organization’s na-
tional governing council meet-
ing here. He cited a national
survey undertaken bytheAJC’s
Commission on Law and So-
cial Action as evidence that
“determined and well-organized
efforts are being made in state
after state to seek appropria-
tions for parochial schools
through statute and constitu-
tional amendment." He noted
at the same time that oppon-
ents of such aid are actively
fighting these programs in the
courts. A total of 6 cases chal-
lenging the expenditure of fed-
eral and state funds for church-
connected schools is now pend-
ing, according to the survey.
In addition to the campaign
in New York, which succeeded
in having repeal of the ban on
public support for church-con-
nected schools incorporated into
the proposed new state consti-
tution, Mr. Squadron reported
that similar proposals have
been introduced at constitution-

himself to fans, coast to coast,
in the announcers’ booth with
his keen and often humorous
observations of baseball. His
talks are renown and spiced
with incidents only Dizzy can
tell and he is in big demand
as an after-dinner speaker.
Dean was born in Lucas,
Arkansas in 1911. At the age
of 10, he joined his dad in
the cotton fields where he
worked for six years along-
side his elder brother, Elmer,
and younger brother Paul, who
became the "Dazzy” Dean of .
the Cardinals in the 1930’s.
Dizzy enlisted in the U. S.
Army while still in his teens
and took an interest in base-
ball during his off duty hours.
He gained valuable diamond
experience and soon was being
scouted by the Cards. After
playing for Houston in the
T e x a s L e ague, Dizzy was
brought up to the parent Car-
dinals in 1930. In the short
space of one year, Dean was
acclaimed the fastest pitcher in
the game. The firebailer estab-
l i s h e d a National League
strikeout record in 1933 when
17 Chicago Cubs went down
before his fast ball. A year
later came his memorable 30
win season and his selection
as the “Most Valuable Player”
in baseball. His career ended
in 1941, at the age of 29,
when he was injured in his
fourth All - Star game. Now
“Diz" and his wife, Pat, live
in Wiggins, Mississippi.
Foyt will be honored as
“Mr. Sportsman” for the great
fans he has brought to Hous-
ton, his native city, as a three-
time winner of the Indianapolis
Speedway.
Sponsorship tickets to the
banquet are $25.00 each and
are being sold by B’nai B’rith
and Knights of Columbus
members.
Football tickets are regular
priced and available at the
Knights of Columbus Hall,
2616 Louisiana or reservations
may be made by calling JA-4-
7506 or JA-4-1100.

al conventions now sitting in
Florida and Maryland. In New
Hampshire, the legislature
adopted a statute (since in-
validated by the Supreme
Court) alloting a share of the
state sweepstakes to finance the
operation of parochial and oth-
er non-public schools. In Ohio,
the legislature passed a bill
authorizing the use of public
funds to pay for equipment
and services at church and
non-public schools. In Penn-
sylvania, a bill before the legis-
lature would give non-public
schools a share of the proceeds
from the state cigarette tax to
pay for instructions in secular
subjects.
