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."
