...coming year and raise the ante to $202,000,000 by 1944, embodies the recommendations of the President's Advisory Committee on Education (TIME, March 7). Because it would permit Federal money to be used for books, bus service and scholarships for pupils in parochial (e.g., Roman Catholic) schools, it is opposed by Catholicophobes, led by Columbia University's Professor George Drayton Strayer. Meanwhile, to drive the bill out of the hostile House committee, the American Federation of Teachers and Progressive Education Association held a national conference in Washington, brought together college presidents, educators, Congressmen and 25 labor...
...years, of petty gambling-bingo games and the like-under church auspices (TIME. Dec. 27, et ante). Whether or not they consider gaming sinful in itself, high-minded churchmen hold that the church bemeans herself by acting as croupier. Yet out of more than 200 U. S. Episcopal and Roman Catholic bishops-the most articulate shepherds of their flocks-not more than half-a-dozen in each church have spoken out against bingo games. Joining this minority last week. New York's austere Episcopal Bishop William Thomas Manning threw the weight of his office not only against bingo...
Meanwhile in Albany, Protestant ministers had attended a hearing on a proposal to strike from the State Constitution its article against gambling. Though they were voluble concerning the moral aspects of gambling, the ministers were unable to explain why gambling, any more than prostitution, should be specifically unconstitutional.

DEDHAM, MASS.--Roger W. Babson, National Moderator of the Congregational Church, in a searing attack on modern religion, tonight branded all denominations, with the exception of the Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches, as "country clubs." The noted statistician, who earlier in the day had Ied a revolt of several hundred church leaders and ministers from the state convention here, said the "country club" denominations are "slipping badly" and the "time has come for them to return to the old-fashioned principles upon which they were founded...
...mice and a small minority of men would have the churches pretty much to themselves. Last week the Ladies' Home Journal monthly survey reported upon what 37,000,000 U. S. women think about religion. Only 47% of them attend church regularly, although 76% are church members. Of Roman Catholic women, 85% are regular churchgoers. Of Protestant women, 54% actually go to church-a percentage which, even allowing for U. S. Protestant men who do not attend church, is somewhat higher than Statistician Roger Ward Babson's estimate of 30% for Protestant attendance (men & women). U. S. female...
