lourt rules out school devotional exercises
WASHINGTON (UPI)-The Su
preme Court ruled 8 to 1 today
that use of the Lord's Prayer and
Bible reading in public schools is
unconstitutional. It held that the
state must be neutral in the re
lationship between man and God.
In a landmark opinion from
which Justice Potter Stewart
sharply dissented, Justice Tom
Clark cited the First Amend
ment's ban on state "establish
ment of religion" as the basis for
the court's far-reaching decision.
Religious exercises now are per
mitted as part of the school pro
gram in 39 states. In most cases,
each school day is opened with a
I home-room devotional service
which includes the Lord's Prayer
and a reading from the Bible.
Clark declared: "The place of
man and religion, the state Is
committed to a position of neu
trality," the long-awaited opinion
concluded.
Clark said this neutrality is
"clearly and concisely stated in
the words of the First Amend
ment." The First Amendment says,
"Congress shall make no law re
specting an establishment of re
ligion or prohibiting the free ex
ercise thereof." The same prohi
bition is applied to the states by
the 14th Amendment under pre
vious Supreme Court decision
The court cited both amend
ments last year in ruling out use
In New York schools of a 22
word non - denominational state
written prayer.
That opinion also was 8 to 1 with
Stewart dissenting.
The Lord's Prayer case was
brought by a Baltimore mother,
Mrs. Madalyn E. Murray, and her
son, William J. Murray III, both
atheists. They challenged a 1905
rule of the board of school com
missioners requiring reading the
Bible and -or recitation of the
Lord's Prayer without comment
every morning.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
upheld the practice on April 6,
1982, by a 4 to 3 vote.
The Pennsylvania case was ini
tiated by a Unitarian couple, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward L. Schempp,
who have two children in Abing
ton High School. A 1913 state law
requires that 10 verses of the
Bible be read without comment
at the opening of each school day
a practice dating back to colon
ial times.
The program Is carried on by
means of a loudspeaker by the
students in the school's television
workshop. The court was told that
the school buys the King James
version of the Bibie but that the
pupils normally read their own
the revised version, Douay and
others.
According to custom, the Lord's
Prayer follows, although the law
does not mention it
A special three-judge federal
court in Philadelphia ruled the ex
ercises unconstitutional on Feb. 1,
1962, as a violation of Lie First
Amendment.
Stewart, in a blistering dissent,
accused his colleagues of tramp
ling on the First Amendment's
guarantee of religious freedom
while pursuing an extreme view
of its ban on an establishment of
religion.
"We err. . .If we do not recog
nize, as a matter of history and
as a matter of the Imperatives of
our free society, that religion and
government must necessarily in
teract in countless ways," Stew
art said.
Stewart charged that today's
ruling actually interferes with the
religious freedom of parents
"who want their children exposed
to religious influences" in school.
"For a compulsory state educa
tional system so structures a
child's life that if religious exer
cises are held to be an impermis
sable activity in schools, religion
is placed at an artificial and
state-created disadvantage," h
said.
Stewart continued: "Viewed la
this light, permission of such ex
ercises for those who want them
is necessary if the schools are
truly to be neutral in the matter
of religion. And a refusal to per
mit religious exercises thus is
seen, not as the realization of state
neutrality, but rather as the es
tablishment of a religion of secu
larism, or at the least, as gov
ernment support of the beliefs of
those who think that religious ex
ercises should be conducted only
in private."
religion in our society is an ex
alted one, achieved through a
long tradition of reliance on the
home, the church and the in
violable citadel of the individual
heart and mind.
"We have come to recognize
through bitter experience that it
is not within the power of gov
ernment to invade that citadel,
whether its purpose or effect be
to aid or oppose, to advance or
retard.

Many areas fear

, By United Press International
The staunchly segregationist

possible racial demonstrations.
While the President planned to
give congressional leaders the fi

urday night in the flaming wreck
age of her auto eight miles east
of Redmond on Highway 126.
According to officers who in

hand and fingers in an accident
with a power lawn mower. She
had just completed her junior
year at Redmond Union High

Hitch may
have snagged
Steel talks '
PITTSBURGH (UPD-The In
ternational Executive Board of
the United Steelworkers of Amer
ica was given a 30-mlnute brief
ing today by USW President
David J. McDonald amid indica
tions that a hitch had developed
in proposed contract agreement.
Following the briefing, an of
ficial union source said "no
agreement has been readied" in
contract revisions with the na
tion's 11 leading . steelmaking
firms.
The union's 170-member Wage
Policy Committee, composed of
top international officers and rep
resentatives of the rank and file,
is scheduled to meet Tuesday to
study the proposal. The commit
tee is the union's final authority
on contract matters.
The proposal was advanced by
the Human Relations Committee,
a joint union-management body,
which has been meeting informal
ly since January.
Since May 1
The present contract does not
expire until next year. However,
either side has been free since
May 1 to call for a formal reopen
ing of wage talks, vacations and
pensions. This clause also permits
the union to strike 90 days after
formal re-opening.
The union, in the past six
months, has been seeking an ex
panded vacation program and
elimination of contracting in-plant
work to firms whose employes it
does not represent.
The Wage Policy Committee
can make one of the following de
cisions: Accept the proposal.
Recommend resumption of
talks within the human relations
committee.
Reject the offer and order a
re-opening of formal talks.
No matter what action the
Wage Policy Committee takes
there is a chance the Human Re
lations Committee will be re
vamped this week.
Philosophy Sound
Both union and management
agree the basic philosophy of the
Human Relations Committee Is
sound, but both agree that some
changes could be made that would
be beneficial.
Under the HRC's present make
up, R. Conrad Cooper, a U. S.
Steel Corp. vice president, and
USW President David J. McDon
ald are co-chairmen. R. Heath
Larry, another "big steel" vice
president, and attorney Marvi Mil
ler of the USW are coordinators.
Subordinate to them are a num
ber of subcommittees, each deal
ing with a specific problem. Mem
bers of these subcommittees are
not always executives of the firms
involved, a source of displeasure
to the union.

Buddhists stage Saigon riot
SAIGON, Viet Nam (UPD-One
youth was killed and 100 persons
injured Sunday during a religious
riot in w hich police used trunch
eons, tear gas and pistois to dis
perse more than 400 Buddhist
students.
The riot broke out when 10.000
Buddhist men and women gath
ered for the funeral of a Buddhist
priest who burned himself to
! death to protest alleged discrimi
' nation by Roman Catholic Presi
ident Ngo Dinh Diem against the
country's Buddhist majority. "
The riot occurred only a few
hours after Diem signed a peace
agreement worked out with Bud
dhist leaders during several days
of negotiations.
The crowd of Buddhist gath
ered near the Giac Minn pagoda
to join the funeral procession for
Thich Quang Due, the priest
who made himself a human torch
on a crowded street last week.
Fighting started when a group
of more than 400 youths began
throwing shoes, sandals, rocks
and bricks at the police.
Police retaliated by throwing
tear gas grenades into the crowd,
then charging the youths with
truncheons and shields. The police
also drew their pistols and ap
peared to fire over the heads of
the mob.
One youth was shot in the head
and died later at a hospital. An
other was wounded in the leg.
About 50 other demonstrators
were injured, including two Bud-
dhist priests. Police sources said
a similar number of policemen
were hurt, including 38 with seri
ous injuries.
The battle raged more than an
hour before police were able to
restore order and arrest about 130
rioters.
The peace agreement signed
earlier in the day said the gov
ernment would release jailed Bud
dhist priests and permit the Bud
dhists lo fly their flag and spread
their faith without fear of harassment.
Women Were Delighted
' The cosmonette's feat set off a
wave of delighted female reaction
across the world at the new
champion of women. Soviet Pre
mier Nikita s. wirusncncv ra
dioed her a message as she or
bited.
Now you see what women are
capable of," he said.
Khrushchev told the cosmonette
I am very glad and feel father
ly pride that it is our girl, a girl
from the land of the Soviets, that
is the first in space..."
Miss Tereshkova, a pretty lass
with a small spit curl and a yen
for high adventure, thanked the
Soviet leader and said she would
"spare nothing" to carry out her
assignment.
Moscow Radio said at 8 a.m.
(1 a.m. EDT) that Valcntina had
completed more than 14 orbits
and Bykovsky 45.
"All flight systems In the two
ships are functioning smoothly,"
the radio said. "The present hy
gienic conditions are being main
tained in the cabins of the ships."
Had Slept Well
The Tass news agency quoted
the cosmonette as saying she had
'slept well and was feeling fine.
It said her pulse rate showed
"her sleep was calm."
The launching of Miss Teresh
kova as the world's first space
woman brought to an even dozen
the number of persons who have
gone into space since Russia s Yu
ri Gagarin pioneered the cosmic
feats more than two years ago.
Soon after she went aloft Sun
day the cosmonette chatted with
Bykovsky, a married man and jet
pilot, by radio. She laughed and
smiled as her oicture was flashed
back to earth on television, and
happily accepted Khrushchev's
congratulations.
What plans Soviet scientists had
for the space couple were kept
secret for the time being. Miss
Tereshkova's code name is Sea
gull" and Bykovsky's is "Hawk."
Second Croup Flight
This was the second "group
flight" that presumably will test
new rendezvous techniques in
space. The first was accomplished
last August by Maj. Andrian G.
Nikolayev and Lt. Col. Pavel
Popovich, whose Vostoks III and
IV came within about four miles
of each other.
A direct link-up of two ships in
space would be the first step to
ward the creation of a staging
platform for longer voyages to
the moon and the planets.
Both Valentina and Bykovsky
said they were a "close distance"
from each other. But they gave
no indication whether they were
within sight or as close as the
four miles that at one point sep
arated Nikolayev and Popovich.
Miss Tereshkova's spacecraft
was flying at 17.400 miles an hour,
taking her round the earth once
every 85 minutes.

Mac may quit
even if vote
is favorable
LONDON (UPI) Labor party
leader Harold Wilson today opened
an unprecedented parliamentary
debate on Britain's sex and se
curity scandal with a statement
that evidence of a "sordid under
world network" had shocked the
nation's moral conscience.
Prime Minister Harold Macmil
lon, fighting for his political life,
was cheered by the Conservative
members as he entered the cham
ber, but the ovation appeared to
be less enthusiastic than usual.
Macmillan is expected to win a '
vote of confidence after the de
bate over the confessions and
resignation of War Minister John
Profumo, but it appeared likely
he would quit after the furor
caused by the scandal dies down.
Virtually all political observer
and newspapers agreed the Con
servative party leader had suffi
cient support for a House of Com
mons vote of confidence that
would save his government from
collapse.
The 69-year-old "Unflappable
Mac" himself was reported confi
dent of victory on what the Daily
Herald called the day of reckon
ing."
Career is at Stake
Macmillan's political career was
at stake as well as the tone of
the Atlantic alliance. To a large
extent the outcome rested on
Macmillan's speech declaring he
acted with the utmost honor and
integrity in the affair.
The Laborites said they would
concentrate on the security consid
erations rather than the moral as
pects of the scandal.
The prime minister's cabinet
ministers, despite earlier reports
of a possible revolt, pledged their
support, and Macmillan's lieuten
ants spent the weekend and this
morning muffling the party's rank
and file and members of parlia
ment. The scandal which brought on
the crucial debate started 11 days
ago when War Minister John Pro
fumo, 4B, resigned after admitting
he lied in Commons about his
relationship with red-haired Chris
tine Keeler, a 21-year-old party
girl.
Profumo told the House March
22 there was nothing improper
about his friendship with M's
Keeler, but it turned out he was
having an illicit love affair with
her.
Security Involved
The Profumo affair took on se
curity implications when it was
disclosed that Miss Keeler also
was the mistress of Soviet assist
ant naval attache Eugene Ivanov
during the time she and Profumo,
a married man, were meeting.
This disclosure led to demands by
the opposition Labor party for the
Commons debate.
Most political observers felt a
vote of confidence would be only
a temporary respite for Macmil
lan and that he would have to
step down under party and public
pressures some time this summer.
The Laborites charged that Mac
millan was either negligent or
naive in failing to recognize the
seriousness of the situation creat
ed by the Profumo-Keeler-Ivanov
love triangle.
The whole affair set off a wav
of public indignation at the moral
aspects. This led to discontent
among the Conservative who fear
for their fate at the polls. The
prestige of the Tories was at a
low ebb before the scandal broke.
