Prayer Ruli
By DOROTHY KILGALLEN
Speaking For Myself
M
AY THE GOOD LORD help my secretary in the
next few days, because she's the one who has
to open the mail, and this is the kind of column that
draws a lot of mail.
I would like to say a few words about the Su-
preme Court's decision to for-
bid that neutral little prayer in
the public schools. I do this
fully aware that my views will
inspire all kinds of letters from
readers, including the ones that

and Marilyn and Frankie?"

As I believe I have pointed
out in response to these indignant subscribers, what I know
about politics is quite a good deal. Sometimes I even know
more about politics than people who run for President,
like Richard Nixon-a fine, intelligent experienced politician
who was naive enough to go on television with that movie
star Senator from Massachusetts and make him America's
Sweetheart overnight.
