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.

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

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.
