Ward end Sent 925 High TU 2-4404 By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Sometime during the next few months, the U. S. Supreme Court will hand down a decision that could change your way of life. It will decide whether Sunday is constitutional. Not Sunday as ,a day of the week, but Sunday as a day of rest and worship, recognized and protected by law. Pending before the c o u r t are four cases challenging Sunday, closing laws in Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania. But the basic issue is much broader than the specific statutes of these states. It is whether any govern mental body in the United Slates has a constitutional right to ac cord a special legal status to a day which is considered holy by many but by no means all Americans. Constitutional Violation Charged Jewish groups and some small Christian bodies like the Seventh Day Adventists, who observe Sat urday as the Sabbath day, nave long contended that Sunday oo servance laws violate tne first Amendment's guarantee of gov ernmental neutrality in matters of religion. In the past, with a single ex ception, lower courts have upheld the constitutionality of' Sunday closing laws. They have ruled that states have a right to en force a shutdown of general busi ness activity one day a week, not for religious reasons, but to pro tect the health and welfare of workers. The choice of Sunday for this day of rest may have been prompted originally by the tenets of the Christian faith, the courts have said, but it can now be jus tified on the grounds of social custom and long-standing tradi tion. The single exception was a rul ing in 1959 by a federal court in Boston. It held Massaschusetts Sunday law unconstitutional on the grounds that it "furnishes special protection to the dominant Christian sects and discrimi nates against those who observe a different Sabbath. Some Washington observers be lieve there is a better-than-fair chance that a majority of the Su preme Court justices will take the same view as the Massa chusetts court. Rude Alteration Possible K that happens, the relatively small minority of Americans who observe a Saturday Sabbath will feel that a great injustice has been corrected.

Speakers Speakers who will be present this weekend at the Immanuel Baptist and Bible Baptist church- millions who regard Sunday as sacred to other purposes such as golf, late-sleeping or family out ings may find their way of life rudely altered. The trend toward "business-as- usual" on Sunday which has been very conspicuous in recent years would doubtless be tre mendously accelerated by the to tal removal of present legal re stnctions, however riddled with exceptions and loopholes they are. Without Sunday closing laws, it is hard to see how downtown de partment stores, chain groceries and other retail and service busi nesses could long resist the com petitive pressure to' keep open seven days a week. And if Sun day becomes just another shop ping day for customers, it will perforce be just another work day tor millions of employes. There may be a way out of the dilemma a solution that nei ther destroys Sunday as an insti tution nor denies the rights of minorities. Twelve states have adopted laws which exempt from compulsory Sunday closing rules those who observe another day as their holy day of rest. When a law of this kind was challenged in Ohio in 1959, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case on the ground that no substantial federal ques tion i.e., no major constitu tional Issue was involved. chiefs for the men.
