CONGER-MORRIS FUnERAL DIRECTORS The board's resolution adopted unanimously upon recommendation of Willace and state Supt. Austin Mea dows, was considered defi ant resistance of a recent U. S. Supreme Court decision out awinK Bible reading in public schools. In a seoarate resolution the board denounced the hiah court decision as "calculated effort to take God out of the public affairs of this nation." Wallace introduced the resolution to make Bible read ing a part of the course of study in Alabama classrooms and insisted that reading of the Holy Writ has nothing to do with separation of church and state. Wallace said the nation was founded by men who believed in the Bible and that every student was free to interpret the scripture as ne or she saw fit. The governor told board members that in requiring Bible reading as a part of the course of study he was not trying to get around the Supreme Court decision. "I would like for the peo ple of Alabama to be in de fiance of such a ruling," he said. "I want the Supreme Court to know we are not going to conform to any such decision. I want the state board of education to tell the whole world that we are not going to abide by it." Alabama law already re quires daily Bible reading in all schools supported by state funds. The resolution adopted Monday goes a step further in making it a part of the course of study in each school.

Wesitnghouse 34 Washington-IUPli-Prayer and Bible reading will continue this fall in many U.S. public schools despite the Supreme Court's ruling that such re ligious exercises are unconsti tutional. A nationwide UPI check showed today that the court's June 17 ruling is being open ly defied in some areas. Elsewhere, it is being cir cumvented b y "interpreta tions" which seem to ignore the plain language of the rul ing. Only a few stales which previously had religious ex ercises in their schools have issued explicit orders for their discontinuance. Many said they are still "studying" the matter. Some were unaffect ed because the ruling con firmed their existing laws or policies. The survey turned up only I two states-Pennsylvania and California - which appear to be acting on the court's sug gestion that it is perfectly all right for public schools to en gage in "objective" study of the Bible and America's re ligious heritage. Defiance of the ruling has been especially forthright in Southern states, where no pol itician stands to lose many votes by attacking the Su preme Court and defending the Bible. In Alabama, the state board of education defied the Supreme Court Monday and made Bible reading part of the required curriculum in public schools. Gov. George Wallace said if the courts rule out the practice in a specific Alabama school "I'm goin to that school and read it my self." "I would like for the people of Alabama to be in defiance" of the high court ruling, he said. Alabama law already re quired daily Bible reading in all state - supported schools and the resolution went a step further in making it part of the course of study. South Carolina's superin tendent of education, Jesse Anderson, has publicly noti fied teachers of his state that they may "feel free" to con tinue classroom religious ex ercises. "Continue to read the Bible and pray until someone stops you." The Florida legis 1 a t u r e passed, with only one dis senting vote, a bill which al lows each county school board to decide what it will do about religion in public schools. The sponsor of the bill pointed out that since Florida has 67 counties, it would take 67 different court suits to eliminate religious practices from the state's schools. But defiance of the ruling is not encountered only in the South. In New Jersey, the state department of education, act ing on the advice of Atty. Gen. Arthur J. Sills, official ly notified all local school boards that religious exercises must be discontinued. But the Russia Launches 19th Satellite Moscow (UPIl The Soviet Union today launched the 19th In a scries of satellites whose mission is to gain in formation for future manned space flights. The satellite, called "Cos mos 19," was lofted into orbit in a "routine launching," the official Soviet news agency Tass said in a brief announce ment.

There has been no announce ment of how long any of the 19 "Sputniks" In the series was intended to stay in orbit or how many may be in orbit now. "The satellite carries sci entific apparatus designed to continue researches in outer space in accordance with the program announced by Tass on March 16, 1962," Tass said in reporting today's shot. Riddle Man Dies As Car Rolls Over Cliallis, Idaho - IVPD - Rob ert Gilbath, about 35, Riddle, Ore., was killed and two com panions injured Monday in a one-car accident about four miles south of Patterson on a county road. State Patrolman Elvin Al biston reported that a car driven by John D. Hansen, 40, Howe, Idaho, was turning right on a curve of the gravel road at high speed. He said the car slid off the road, over turned four times and threw all three occupants to the ground. The auto mobile traveled 5'62 feet before coming to a stop. Hansen and a passenger, Glenn H. Wilson, 49, Howe, were brought to a hospital here for treatment. school board of Mahwah, N.J., voted 5-4 to continue Bible reading and recitation of the Lord's Prayer. Similarly, in Massachusetts, the state commissioner of edu cation formally advised all school districts that the Su preme Court ruling clearly means that "the Lord's Prayer may not be recited, nor may there be a reading of the Bible for devotional or re ligious purposes." But the school superintendent of at least one town (Montague) spurned this notice and recommended that religious exercises be continued in the schools of his district. Circumvention of the ruling by interpretation usually pro ceeds on the premise that ths high court merely forbade "mandatory" religious exer cises and did not object to "voluntary" ones.
