Supreme Court to
Take Second Look
At Prayer
Washinaton - OJPO - The Su
prerae Court today takes an
nthpr look at rjraver in the
public schools, an issue that
loosed a torrent 01 criticism
on the justices last June.
At that time, the court
ruled out use of a 22-word
non denominational prayer
composed by New York state
officials for schools that i ared
to use it.
Today, the issue was the
T nrri'n Praver - and Bible-
reading as well. Arguments
were scheduled on cases iron
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
The arguments were sched
uled for 11:30 a.m. EST.
The decisions, not expected
for some weeks, may well
trigger an even more viol t
emotional outburst than did
the New York opinion, if the
rationale of the court's reason
ing is the same.
In that case, Justice Hugo
L. Black found the use of
the prayer ran counter to that
part of the Constitution's
First Amendment which says:
"Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion."
Bearing Son as Athtlil
The Baltimore case stems
from a 1960 rule of the Board
of School Commissioners pro
viding for reading the Bible
and or recitation of the
Lord's Prayer without com
ment. In 1960, the board add
ed that pupils who objected
could be excused.
The lawsuit was started by
Mrs. Madalyn E. Murray, who
is rearing her son, William
Murray III, as an atheist.
Market Closes Quiet
Stocks Drop in Final
New York - (UPD - Stocks
broke in the final hour today
after coasting quietly through
most of the session.
American Telephone was
off more than a point on news
of Congressional opposition to
Its plan to cut night telephone
rates and raise some day
rates. Woolworth, which re
ported record 1962 profits,
lost some of a substantial
early gain.
Leading steels and motors
sank fractions to over a point
in some cases.

Issue
Citing the New York case,
Mrs. Murray contends:
Use of the Lord's Prayer
favors Christians over Jews
and other non-Christians.
The Bible is also scctari
an and various Christian
sects accept a different ver
sion. It is not accepted at all
by others, for example Bud
dhists, of whom there- are
about 100,000 in Hawaii.
A child who asks to be
excused will reap disapproval
from teachers and classmates.
Mrs. Musray made it clear
she did not object to discus
sion of the Bible as literature
or history.
The Maryland Court of Ap
peals upheld the constitution
ality of the school board rule
last April.

Four children were evacuated

Firemen were summoned at
2:10 o'clock this morning

After 187 years of settle

traced the path for us to fol
low; by that path must we
trod."

State Bar Scored
For Position on
New Constitution
Salem - (UPD - The Oregon
State Bar was admonished by
members of the House and
Senate committess on Consi
tutional Revision Tuesday for
giving explanations but not
any opinions on a proposed
new state constitution.
The bar is on record as
urging delay of legislation ac
tion on the document for two
years.
Two more witnesses from
the bar appeared Tuesday to
analyze sections of the new
document. They noted the bar
had not taken any stand on
the sections under discussion.
"I couldn't care less" about
the bar's explanations, said
Sen. AI. Flegel (D-Roseburg).
Wants To Know
The committee already has
spent a month in briefings
on what the new constitution
would do. Sen. Walter Pear
son (D-Portland) said. He said
now the committee wants to
know what people think about
it.
The bar was told that opin
ions of individual members
would be appreciated, and
would not be construed as
representing the entire bar.
Sections on legislative re
apportionment drew praise
from witnesses for the Oregon
Civil Liberties Union and, the
League of Women Voters.
They said Oregon already
leads the nation in apportion
ing legislative scats on a "one
man, one vote" principle, and
the proposed constitution
would be an improvement
over the present one.
They noted Oregon voters
strongly ratified the principle
last November.
