'; The district attorney's of
fice now has six formal appli
cations for the new special
investigator job. District At
torney Alan B. Holmes said
this morning.
The county curriculum ma
terials, center will help by
testing applicants. Interviews
will follow, Holmes ex
plained.
The county budget commit
tee allocated $5,148 for in
vestigating non-support cases.
The district attorney's office
is to make a written report
to the county budget commit
tee at the end of the year to
determine whether the pro
gram should be continued.
Holmes said such an investi
gator is used by other coun
ties. He predicted the in
vestigator would not reduce
the caseload in his office, but
it would save on welfare
funds paid under the aid to
dependent children program.
Deputy District Attorney
Robert Fox recently visited
the special investigator pro
gram in Santa Clara, Calif.

Wage Policy
Group To Study
Proposal Tuesday
WEATHER
Pittsburcli-!UPIl-The Interna
tonal Executive Board of the
United Steelworkers of Amer
ica was given a 30-minute
briefing today by USW Presi
dent David J. McDonald amid
indications that a hitch had
developed in proposed con
tract agreement.
Following the briefing, an
official union source said "no
agreement has been reached"
in contract revisions with the
nation's 11 leading steclmak
ing firms.
The union s. 170 member
Wage Policy committee, com
posed of top international of
ficers and representatives of
the rank and file, is scheduled
to meet Tuesday to study the
proposal. The committee is
the union's final authority on
contract matters.
Meeting Since January
The proposal was advanced
by the Human Relations com
mittee, a joint union-manage
ment body, which has been
meeting informally since Jan
uary.
The present contract does
not expire until next year.
However, either side has been
free since May 1 to call for
a formal reopening of wages
talks, vacations and pensions.
This clause also permits the
union to strike 90 days after
formal re-opening.
The union, in the past six
months, has been seeking an
expanded ' vacation program
and elimination of contracting
in-plant work to firms whose
employees it docs not repre
sent. . '
Three Decisions
The Wage Policy committee
can make one of the following
decisions:
-Accept the proposal.
-Recommend resumption of
talks within the Human Re
lations committee.
-Reject the offer snd order
a re-opening of formal talks
No matter what action the
Wage Policy committee takes
there is a chance the Human
Relations committee will be
revamped this week.
Both union and manage
ment agree the basic philoso
phy is sound, but both agree
that some changes could be
made that would be beneficial.
Bible Reading
Also Ruled Out
By Supreme Court
Stewart Dissents
In 8-1 Opinion
Washington- - The Su
preme Court ruled 8 to 1 to
day that use of the Lord's
Prayer and Bible reading in
public schools is unconstitu
tional. It held that the state
must be neutral between man
and God.
In a landmark opinion from
which Justice Potter Stewart
harply dissented. Justice
Tom Clark cited the First
Amendment's ban on state
establishment of religion" as
the basis for the court's far-
reaching decision.
Religious exercises now are
permitted as part of the school
program in 39 states. It most
cases, each school day is op
ened with a home-room devo
tional service which includes
the Lord's Prayer and a read
ing from the Bible.
Clark said this neutrality
is "clearly and concisely stat
ed in the words of the First
Amendment."
Applied to States
The First Amendment says,
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof." The
same prohibition is applied to
the states by the 14th Amend
ment under previous Supreme
Court decision.
The court cited both amend
ments last year in ruling out
use in New York schools of
22-word non-denominational
state-written prayer.
That opinion also was 8 to
with Stewart dissenting.
Stewart charged that to
day's ruling actually inter
feres with the religious free
dom of parents "who want
their children exposed to re
ligious influences in school.
For a compulsory state ed
ucational system so structures
a child's life that if religious
exercises are held to be an
Impermissable activity in
schools, religion is placed at
an artificial and state-created
disadvantage," he said.
Said Necessary
. , Stewart ..continued;. "Viewi
ed in this light, permission
such exercises for those who
want them is necesary If the
schools are. truly to be neu
ti-fll in the matter of religion
And a refusal to permit re
ligious exercises thus is seen,
not as the realization of state
neutrality, but rather as the
establishment of a religion of
secularism, or at the least as
government support of the be
liefs of those who think that
religious exercises should be
conducted only In private."
