Miami Court Gets Final Testimony
Acrainst Religion in Public Schools
MIAMI, ('JTA) — Final argu-
ments. in Miami's religion-in-
the-schools trial — one of the
most significant test cases
affecting religious liberty and
separation of church and state
within recent years—were pre-
sented before Judge J. Fritz
Gordon in Dade County Circuit
Court.
The judge indicated that he
will reserve judgment. The
case is expected eventually to
be decided by the U.S. Supreme
Court.
At issue in the case is a
series of ten sectarian practices
in Miami public schools that
have been challenged by five
Miami parents as divisive and
unconstitutional. ,Three of the
parents are Jewish and one is
a Unitarian. They are being
represented by Leo Pfeffer,
general counsel of the Amer-
ican Jewish Congress, and Ber
German Troops
