Religion bill
turned down
WASHINGTON — The House
rejected a move Tuesday to
allow student religious
meetings during non-class
hours in public high schools,
after critics of the bill claimed
that it would open the way for
cults and devil worship in
classrooms.
The 270-151 vote in favor of
the bill fell 11 votes short of the
two-thirds majority required for
passage of the measure, which
followed Senate rejection last
March 20 of a proposed con
stitutional amendment that
would have permitted organiz
ed, spoken prayer in public
schools.
Pres. Reagan had fought for
the school prayer amendment,
which the Senate defeated
56-44, as a major election-year
issue. He then embraced the
concept of student use of public
school classrooms for voluntary
religious meetings if the school
made classrooms available for
other student extracurricular
activities.
The defeated bill stated that
any public secondary school
receiving federal aid, which
generally allows student
initiated groups to meet during
non-class hours, could not
discriminate against voluntary
religious groups.
School employees would have
had to be present as monitors,
but not as participants, in such
meetings, and no student could
have been forced to attend.
At the end, debate over the
bill was punctuated with horror
stories of cults in the schools
and equally fervent pleas for
House members to ignore such
"hogwash."
Supporters of the measure
stressed the First Amendment
issue, saying the bill would in
tended to protect students seek
ing to exercise their constitu
tional rights of free speech and
the free exercise of religion.
Opponents argued that the
bill would establish religion in
the schools and permit brain
washing of teen-agers.
The bill would have applied
only to use of school premises
during non-class hours.
Daughter
testifies
EUGENE — Nine-year-old
Christie Downs tearfully told a
jury Tuesday that her mother
shot her and her brother and
sister along a rural road north of
Springfield last year.
The girl, the state's key
witness in the murder, attemp
ted murder and assault trial of
Elizabeth Diane Downs, told the
prosecutor she still loves her
mother despite what happened.
Christie, who suffered a
speech impediment as a result
of the shooting, broke down
several times when asked to
relate what she saw the night of
the shooting.
Seven-year-old Cheryl Downs
died of gunshot wounds suf
fered in the incident. Four-year
old Stephen Downs is paralyzed
below the waist as a result of the
attack.
Elizabeth Downs, 28, claims a
shaggy-haired individual flagg
ed down the car and fired the
shots when she refused to give
up her car. Ms. Downs also suf
fered an arm wound in the
shooting.
The state contends Ms.
Downs shot her three children
because she felt they were an
impediment to a reunion with
her lover in Arizona.
Under questioning from
Frederick Hugi, deputy district
attorney for Lane County,
Christie said she remembered
what happened the night of
May 19 when the car stopped
along Old Mohawk Road.
She said her mother “got out
and pushed the (trunk) lever
and went to the trunk."
"What did you see0" the pro
secutor asked.
"She shot Cheryl," Christie
Downs said.
"Did you see anyone in the
road?" Hugi asked.
"No," Christie said.
The girl broke down crying
after saying her mother then
"leaned over the back seat."
The prosecutor asked her
what happened next.
"She shot Danny,” Christie
said.
"Do you remember when you
got shot0" the prosecutor asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Who shot you?" he asked.
"Mom," she said.
The prosecutor asked if
Christie still loved her mom,
and the girl replied, "yes."
