The law directs all public school districts to provide textbooks for use by grade school students in "standard Schools." Dr. Judah Bierman of Port land, Oregon chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the union consid ers a court test of the consti tutionality of the law neces sary and proper. He said: "Supplying textbooks at public expense for use in parochial schools breaches the wall of separation of church and state. Such action con stitutes a form of state aid" to religious institutions. The ACLU believes the sanctity of religion and the integrity of the state are both best pro tected when the activities of both are kept separate."
