U.R) School authorities have retreated and announced a "modified'' physi cal education program for two minister's children who objected to "immoral dress and unholy positions" in regular gym classes.' The children of Rev. Orval Lee were suspended "perman ently Monday for refusing to attend gym classes. But an an nouncement of the new school board decision released by Su perintendent C. C. Loew Thurs day reinstated them. Father Approved Philip, 12 and Naomi, 13. started the boycott of gym classes themselves, said their father, but he approved it after he saw a newspaper photo of a gym class in which a girl was lying on the floor with an in structor's hands on her ankles and hip. The modified program will al low the Lee children to attend classes apart from the rest of the children, Loew said. They will not be required to take exer cises which involve a reclining or prone position and may wear whatever they choose. The program "takes into ac count certain religious objec tions," said Loew, and fulfills state requirements. He said state requirements which stipulate that schools which do not give physical edu cation may be cut off from state funds was the main considera tion in the original suspension. There are more than 29 mil lion miles of telephone wire in the United States.
