TIME: Thursday afternoon.
PLACE: Dexter and Webb.
QUESTION: What is your opin-
ion of the New York public
schools' ban on "The Nation"
because of its series of articles
criticizing the Catholic Church?

MRS. SAM MILNER of Paris,
Ky., who was visiting her
mother, Mrs. Nathan Ratner
of Royal Oak.
I do not think the schools were
justified in banning "The Na-
tion."
First "The Nation" is banned
then another
magazine or
newspaper, and
before you
know it, our
privilege of
freedom of the
press is gone.
I believe that
constructive
discussions o n
a 11 questions
should be en-
couraged. It is not good to avoid
a subject just because is is
touchy as in the case of religion.
People will remain ignorant if
all topics are not discussed open-
ly through our means of com-
munication.

MRS. GEORGE •SCHWARTZ,
3741 Collingvrood avenue,
housewife.
The New York public schools
might have been justified in
banning "The Nation" if it were
a cheap' maga-
zine trying to
stir up trouble.
But "The Na-
tion" is one of
th e country's
best publica-
tions, and its
stories are
usually written
b y competent
men.
In order to
protect our freedom of press, I
think there should be no re-
strictions on the printing of any
kind of publication.
However, there are some types
of literature that shouldn't be
permitted in school libraries, but
"The Nation" is not included.

ROSALIND YANOVER, 12145
Otsega avenue, Central High
student.
If there is anything people re-
sent, it is having their religion
criticized.
Perhaps there are certain
things wrong
with the Cath-
olic Church
and other re-
ligious groups,
but it is not
the job of mag-
azines and
newspapers to
decide what is
right or wrong
in regards to
religion.
I think the New York public
schools did the smart thing in
banning "The Nation." There is
enough, trouble among students
over the question of religion
without causing more.

MRS. SAMUEL PORTNER, 3256
Tuxedo avenue, housewife.
I don't think the New York
public schools acted wisely in
banning "The Nation."
Although I believe that hate-
literature, such
as the Gerald
L. K. Smith
type, should be
kept out of
schools, I do
think a maga-
zine with the
fine reputation
of "The Na-
tion" would
lose much of
its value if it
were restricted in its subjects.
Once we start banning our
better publications, we jeopar-
dize our freedom of press.

Maps Luncheon

NEW YORK (WNS) — Funds
raised in the United States have
made pUssible the migration to
Israel of close to 50,000 Jews
since Jan. 1, 1948. Dr. Israel
Goldstein, United Palestine Ap-
peal national chairman, declared
here prior to nis departure for
Tel Aviv, where he is attending
the sessions of the governing
council or the World Zionist Or-
ganization
At the, same time, the UPA
chairman dis,-lcsed that a total
of 16 new settlements were
founded since the establishment
of Israel oring,ng to 28 the num-
ber of Jewish agricultural colo-
nits set up in Palestine since the
United Nations decision to par-
tition the country in November
of last year.
Dr. Goldstein stressed that
:without the decisive financial as-
sistance extencied through the
$256,000,00 United Jewish Ap-
peal campaign. in which the UPA
is a constituent agency, the Jews
of Israel may not have been able
to cope witt the tremendous
problems of rehabilitation and
resettlement created by the great-
