That question has come to national attention recently in the dispute over whether to let religious schools share In federal aid to education. But controversy is not con fined to federal programs, Throughout the United States, disagreements over the proper relationship between religion Judgment Sought Against Market . Jack Mathis, Medford con tractor, is seekLig a judge ment against the Thunderbird Market, alleging failure to pay the full amount for construc tion of the market, according to a complaint on file in Jack son county circuit court. Mathis is seeking $42,173.76 plus 6 per cent interest from March 2, 1061, until the amount is paid, plus expenses. Mathis also asks for a decree foreclosing his claim and lien for the money he alleges is due him.

Several cases presented to the Supreme Court .this year illustrate the difficulties of fixing the proper limits to state action in religious mat ters. The cases fall into five broad categories. - The Court has yet to rule on any of them. Tuition Payments. In Ver mont, the law requires every school district to furnish ed ucation to children of the dis trict. If the district itself does not operat high schools It must pay the tution charges for en rolling students in private schools. Until this case arose, tution payments were being made regularly to Roman Catholic high schools. The Su preme Court is being asked to decide whether these pay ment to the religious schools are legal. One side contends that the tution payments to the Cath olic schools are clearly pro hibited by the 1st Amendment to U.S. Constitution, which bars the states either from interfering with freedom of religious worship or from di rectly aiding or subsidizing religion. But the other side says the payments are per missible because their purpose is hot to aid religion but sim ply to assure education to local students where public schools are not available. Another case before the Su preme Court Involves a Mary land law requiring an appli cant for the job of notary public to swear that he be lieves in God. The state claims It has the right to impose this requirement, and says the law does not - abridge anyone freedom to worship as he chooses. The applicant for the job charges that the statute violates the 1st Amendcent. He also contends that Article VI of the Constitution, which prohibits religious tests as a condition of eligibility for pubic office, applies to state as well as federal offices, and that the Maryland law there fore also Is a violation of Article VI. Sunday Laws '. In four separate cases, re ligious and business groups have challenged state Sunday laws, which outlaw certain types of work on Sunday. All but six states have Sunday laws, but only those of Penn sylvania, Maryland and Mas sachusetts are before the U.S. Supreme pourt. ; lne issues are particularly complex. Jews, Seventh-Day Adventists and others who ob serve Saturday as their Sab bath and religious day of rest. argue that Sunday laws are 100 Goose Question of Church, State Relationship designed to make people ob serve Sunday as Sabbath. Or thodox Jewish merchants who close voluntarily on Saturday also object to being forced to close Sunday and losing a sec ond day of business. The states argue, however, that the Sunday laws are not religious In character, but are simply designed tin insure everyone at least one day of rest from work each week. Involved in part in the Sun day law dispute are economic rivalries between roadside re tail chains that cater to Sun day drivers, and the down town competitors who usually close on Sunday. The later would like to see the Sunday laws strictly enforced so that the roadside chains would have to close Sunday. Bible Reading In Pennsylvania, reading of the Bible In all schools is re quired each . day. One Uni tarian parent of three chil dren challenged this law on the grounds that his children were being forced to listen to indoctrination in religious ideas with which he disagreed. The parent charged that the. passages read contned doc trines on the trinity and other matters in which Unitarians did not believe. After the case was raised, the state legisla ture changed the law to per mit children to be excused from Bible reading if their parents objected. The case has now been sent back to a low er court, but It illustrates a particularly bitter souce of conflict in the localities where Bible reading and recitation of prayer are frequently at tacked by minority groups. Several married couples have challenged this law on the grounds that It violates their rights of privacy. Al though there is no direct charge that the state govern ment is trying to enforce the religious beliefs of a partic ular group that opposes con traception, it is no secret that the Roman Catholic Church, which opposes contraceptive devices on doctrinal grounds, is a major political force in the state. Central to the cases describ ed above is a major disagree ment over the proper state role in religious matters. Ar guments for strict separation of church and state generally are based on the fear that any government interference in re ligion even to help it will eventually mean state control and the end of freedom of conscience, particularly for minority groups who fear be ing compelled to observe the religious norms of the domin ant majority in the commun ity. .
