CO ill' EUJiiNi.OSlilj. In The- 105 Bays In Jail... Mo Arraignment... Youth Day's lews Protests By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: The Supreme Court yesterdas barred Bible-reading and recita.' of the Lord's Prayer in public schools as part of required class room exercises. Such a practice, it said in an 8-1 ruling, is uncon stitutional. The ruling was on cases from Maryland and Pennsylvania, but the decision would apply also in many other states where such customs are followed as part of school-day opening exercises. The court did not spell out whether such observances would be possible on a PERMISSIVE, rather than a required, basis, but did bar the establishment of such exercises by majority rule. Which is to say: . Your child can not be RE QUIRED, as a part of a class room exercise, to repeat the Lord's Prayer. But- Suppose your child chooses, at any hour of the day, in school or elsewhere, to say with rever ently bowed head: "Our Father which art in Heav en, :. "Hallowed be Thy name.. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in Heaven. "Give us this day our daily bread. i "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive us our debtors, "And lead us not into tempta tion, but deliver us from evil. "For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." Well In that event The decision will not apply. The court's ban is upon the RE QUIREMENT that these words be spoken. It is based upon the first of the ten Original Amendments, which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press: or the right of the people peace ably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The court's decision bans all REQUIRED i by law)' Bible reading- . ., . Your child, or you, or anybody eke. can not be REQUIRED BY LAW to repeat the simple and beautiful words of the Golden Rule, as found in Matthew 7: 12 : "Therefore all tilings whatsoever ye would that men should to to you, do ye even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets." But If at some moment your child CHOOSES to bow his head and repeat those tolerant words, no court of law can PREVENT him from so doing. What of the Supreme Court's late-st ruling? Evangelist Billy Graham, whol is crusading in Germany, says this morning: "I am shocked at the Supreme Court decision. Prayers and Bi ble reading have been a part of the American public school life since the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Now a Supreme Court in 1963 says our fathers were all wrong all these years. In my opinion, it is the SU ' PREME COURT that is wrong." He will find many to agree with him. Russian Sets Orbit Records na'ut Lt. Col. Valery F.
