Nixon, Lodge Can't
Agree on Schools
Dear Editor:
Mr. Nixon doesn't want the re-
ligious issue discussed. Do you
know, it is strange how some
folks will talk about a subject
one way, then take it up again
and talk about it another way
I see where Mr Nixon has for-
bidden his staff to talk about the
religious issue. Then he 'Mr. Nix-
on) came along and said the re-
ligious issue is helping him
I also noticed where he 'Mr.
Nixon) and his running mate. Mr.
Lodge, cannot get together on the
federal aid to the parochial
schools. Mr. Nixon says he is for
each state to do as it pleases
with the money. Where his run-
ning mate, Mr. Lodge, says he is
in favor of federal aid to parochial
schools I just wonder who is
going to run the president’s of-
fice. Mr. Nixon or his vice presi-
dent. Mr. Lodge, if they are elect-
ed
There is so much being said,
and to be said on this subject.'
