Justices Enter Into Exchanges On Prayer Case
Washington - (ITU - Eight of
the nine Supreme Court jus-i
tices entered Into vigorous
questioning and exchanges !
Wednesday on the issue ef
whether prayer is constitu
tional in public schools.
Justices Potter Stewart and
Hugo Black engaged in almcsi
a personal exchange on three
occasions as the court heard
arguments on the question of
whether recitation of the
Lord's Prayer and passages
from the Bible in public
schools violated the First
Amendment.
Frequently Interrupted
Attorneys for the Baltimore
School Board and for Mrs
Madalyn Murray, an avowed
atheist of Baltimore who ob
jected to the rites in behalf
of her school-age son, were
frequently Interrupted by the
justices during their argu
ments. Chief Justice Earl Warren
was among the active partici
pants - at one time suggesting
that if use of Christian re
ligious matter was all right in
Maryland, then Buddhist rites
presumably would be similar
ly acceptable in some of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Attorneys for Balti more
school officials contended that
reading the Lord's Prayer or
passages from the Bible was
not unconstitutional because
these were not composed by
any officials but taken from
"ancient documents."

SNOW SCULPTURE - One of the most artistic pieces of
snow sculpture hereabouts was observed at the Drexel Gault
home in Lebanon, Ind., Wednesday, where daughter Leslie
joined her parents in creating a life-like statue of a woman.
Gault said the production took about an hour's time and six
cold hands. Neighbors said the snowlady was a welcome
addition to the area while Gault remarked he hoped he
hadn't caused too much of a sensation for passersby. (UPI)

Worth

Editor's note: Sylvia Porter is on vacation. During her
absence a column by Ralph McGill is being substituted.
McGill Is currently on a tour of African nations, about
which he is writing.
WE BEGIN WITH LINCOLN
Accra, Ghana At a luncheon reception for Cozy Cole
and his famed American dance band, then midway on a
tour of 20 African cities, Krobo Edusei, Minister of Educa
tion for Ghana, stood to greet the able and affable band
leader. He began by reciting Lincoln's Gettysburg address.
"I learned that as a boy, Mr. Cole," he said, "and I have
never forgot it. I am always thrilled by it."
Through February windows of American Information
Offices featured pictures of Lincoln and books about him.
Photostats of his proclamation ending slavery also were
posted. Each day men and women, young and old, gathered
before the windows to look at the photographs and en
gravings of the gaunt, sad-faced man whose name is emo
tionally and eternally linked with human freedom.
In the new African nations there, is a powerful pride,
in freedom, paradoxically, fierce defense of any measure
which restrict it if such enactments are made in behalf of
what is called the unitary state. The newcomer to West
Africa can only listen, ask, and learn. Yet, it seems reason
able to believe that leaders of these new countries would
like to rule a settled society with an acceptance of all the
hard-won constitutional guarantees of civil rights and rule
of law with its often complex maneuvers and delays. This
is why one imagines, there is such fiece defense of, and
some embarrassment about, the various measures which
contradict their basic wishes.
The observer cannot help being sympathetic with the
nmhinin. nf tlio npw rnuntries. Every leader has at least
two bears by the tail an economic bear and a sociological
one. Not one of the African states came into being with any :
real capital reserve. Their revenues are obtained from agri
cultural crops and raw materials whose prices fluctuate.
Ghana's cocoa, for example, has to wage a constant battle
against disease. The world price has gone lower. There is
improvement in agricultural production, but it is of necessity
slow. The countries are relatively small. Their societies
are further burdened by illiteracy and by tribal and cultural
divisions. There are advances in all these areas. The new
nations are giving a gratifying percentage of their budget
to education. But one may not rub an Aladdin's lamp.
There are vast reserves of metal. But since there is no
capital reserve, local, private or state enterprise cannot
create the means of extracting and processing them. Central
planning and central control over resources are necessities.
Ghana's huge Volta River project, which will produce cheap
power and make possible the irrigation of vast stretches of
semi-desert areas needing only water to make them richly
productive, was possible only through central authority and
outside financing.
The new nations proclaim themselves Socialist. Yet,
what seems lo be in the making is a mixed socialism. As
world trade increases and Africa becomes increasingly im
portant in il, foreign investment will come. It will not,
however, be in the old colonial style. It will be required
to be a part of the local economy. Such investment will
not appear until there is some sort of West African cur
rency plan establishing exchange.
The sloganeers continue to talk of neocolonialism and
"the state." This is a part of growth. (There was a time in
the young America when we adopted the onerous and re
strictive Alien and Sedition Acts.) A concentrated power
almost always moves against civil liberties when it feels
itself in danger. But none of the new African leaders aecm to
have any personal wish to set up truly totalitarian states.
Thoir nrnhlems of industrialization, of educating, of creating
a national unity out of centuries of tribal rivalries, of devis
ing revenues, are so vaM and heavy that one shies away from
quick judgments and hasty conclusions. They are, as they
,v fo.rr.eH to run before they have learned to walk.
Africa is fluid . . .tomorrow may seem like today, but
it will not be.
Quotes From the News
n. tiMiTFn PRESS INTERNATIONAL
en t ir r-iiv Krwin N. Gnsold. dean of the Harvard
Law School, opposing the view that the constitution requires
the removal of all traces oi religion irom puonc m-uvuio.
"Our history is full of these traces: Chaplains in Con
gress and in the armed forces: chapels in prisons: 'In
God We Trust' on our money: to mention only a few.
God is referred lo in our national anthem and in 'Amer
ica' and many others of what may be called our national
songs. Must all of these things be rigorously extirpated
in order lo satisfy a constitutional absolutism?"
Lindtn, N J. - Peter Moran. describing the blast that
leveled a neighbor s home and Killed a nine gin.
"I was at the window pulling the shade down to go
to bed when I saw a tremendous explosion. I thought I
jetliner had crashed ... I ran out in my pajamas. The
mother was in the driveway 35 feel or so from the house.
She was screaming hysterically."
