''National unity is the basis of national security," Justice Frank furter wrote in the 8-1 decision, and "the flag Is the1 symbol of our national unity." Justice Stone dissented. j , Specifically, the court upheld tbe constitutionality of a flag-sa- . lute requirement of Mlnersville, Pa., school board. It was chal lenged on behalf of Lillian Go nitis, 12, and her brother, Wil liam, io, on tne . ground jthat It Infringed religious freedom. ! - They had been taught that, sa luting the'flag was "forbidden by command of scripture." Frank furter said, and were expelled for their refusal. ? - 1 ''Conscientious J scruples have not, in the course of the, long struggle for religioaa toleration, relieved the individual from obed ience to a general law not aimed at the promotion of restrictions of religious beliefs," Frankfurt--er wrote. : " ' 1 To stigmatize legislative judg ment in providing for this univer sal gesture of respect for the sym bol of,, our national life in the setting of the common school as a - lawless Inroad on that freedom of conscience which the constitution protects, would amount to no less than the pronouncement of peda gogical and psychological , dogma In a field where courts possess no marked and certainly no control ling competence." j : .'1--'" -V-Wi'.'-'! ; - :. .: ' ' Tliree Surrender, Housing Charge PORTLAND, June 3"-jP)-.Three men surrendered to US Marshal Jack SufmmerYille today to an swer Indictments charging con-v spiracy to violate the - federal' housing act. , The . three, .
