Seek Ruling on Use of Public
Schools for Religious Displays

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (JTA)
— The way was paved for a
high court ruling on the ques-
tion of religious symbols on
public school property when 10
residents of the town of Ossin-
ing asked the Supreme Court
here for an injunction prevent-
ing erection of a creche depict-
ing the birth of Christ on the
lawn of Ossining High School.
The ten applicants, who were
represented by Leo Pfeffer of
the American Jewish Congress,
included Roman Catholics and
Protestants as well as Jews.
They named as defendants the
Ossining Board of Education
and a 15-member citizens com-
mittee headed by Mayor Jesse
A. Collyer Jr., which is spon-
soring the creche. The com-
plaintants charged that the dis-
play would violate the Federal
and State constitutional pro-
visions for separation of Church
and State.
Last year, a creche was dis-

played on the school lawn, de-
spite strong opposition, the
board authorizing the action by
a 4.3 vote. This rear, the com-
plainants charged, the board
again authorized the action by
the same vote although five al-
ternative and equally promi-
nent sites had been offered for
the display.
Attorneys for both sides
agreed that the specific ques-
tion of the use of school
grounds for the display of re-
ligious scenes had never been
decided by the courts. They
agreed, in conference with Jus-
tice Frank H. COyne, to post-
pone the motion for an injunc-
tion until Dec. 20, not to install
the creche meanwhile, and to
continue the suit by appeals
through the highest courts to
obtain a definitive ruling.
The New York Civil Liberties
Union intervened in the action
as a friend of the court to op-
pose the use of the school lawn
for religious purposes.
