Opposition to Supreme Court Ruling Fading (Continued from Page 1) do not recognize, as a matter of .history and as a matter of im- peratives of our free society, that religion and government must be necessarily interact in countless ways." Justice Brennan noted that "nothing we hold today ques- tions the propriety of certain tax deductions or exemptions which incidentally benefit churches and religious organ- izations along with many se- cular charities and non-profit organizations." Justice Clark pointed out that nothing the Court said would bar the study of the Bible or of religion "when presented objec- tively as part of a secular pro- gram of education." But he reiterated that school exercises in the Maryland and Pennsyl- vania cases did not fall into those educational categories. Rather "they are religious exercises re- quired by the states in violation of the command of the First Amendment that the govern- ment maintain strict neutrality neither aiding nor opposing re- ligion. The issue of "neutrality" to- ward religion, however, appeared to draw a more civil libertarian interpretation from Justice Clark and Justice Douglas than from Justice Goldberg. While Justice Goldberg sought to limit the scope of the ruling, in his interpretation of the need for neutrality of the State toward re- ligion, Justice Clark went fur- ther and cited the need for rejection of religious encroach- ment by the majority. Justice Douglas, cuncurring with Justice Clark, said the First Amendment does not say that some forms of an establishment of religion are allowed but says "no law respecting an establishment of religion shall be made." He ad- ded that "what may not be done directly may not be -done indir- ectly lest the establishment clause become a mockery." Congressional leaders pre- dieted that any efforts to over- ride the Supreme Court ban on religious exercises in the public schools were doomed despite a rash of bitter state- ments by various lawmakers. Congress and the state legisla- tures could override the de- cision by enactment of an amendment to the Constitution but this prospect was termed unlikely. Leaders privately predicted that heated statements and legis- lative proposals could be ex- pected for several weeks, as oc- curred when the court's school decision was announced last year, but nothing is expected to come from the outcry.

According to the report, Prof. Angelos Galanopoulos, director of the Athens Observatory and , a leading authority on earth- quakes, has determined that a volcanic explosion on the Greek island of Santorin, in the Aegean Sea, pulled 5,000-foot high tidal waves into a gigantic 70-square- mile crater, one mile in depth. This happened just as the He- brews reached a strip of land flanking an inlet called the Lake of Ganes, the professor said, causing the water to be sucked away from the coast and permit- ting the Jews to cross safely to the other side. Galanopoulos cal- culated the strength of the ex- plosion at several times that of a hydrogen bomb. He believes it also caused other unusual inci- dents recorded in the Bible. country begin reporting to Wash- ington on steps to bring prac- tices into compliance with the new decision. Christian religious reaction to the Supreme Court decision ban- ning formal Bible reading and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools was mixed but, in balance, on the favorable side. Representatives of the "main stream of Protest- ant thinking, whose views are reflected in the National Council of Churches, hailed the court. ruling. For the most part Roman Catholics viewed the ruling with alarm, however, and conserva- tive Protestants, members of small fundamentalist bodies or minority groups in the large de- nominations, deplored it. Representative Richard L. -Roudebush, Republican of In- diana, said he planned to sub- mit a Constitutional amend- ment to permit Bible-reading and prayers in the schools. "Congress must act if o u r Christian heritage is to be pre- served for future generations," said Roudebush, a member of the Christian Church. Senator Jacob K. Javits, Re- publican of New York, said such an amendment would be "so serious in its implications to religious freedom that I do not feel we should jump into it. These decisions should empha- size and accelerate the need and opportunity for prayers in the home and houses of worship." The -U.S. Supreme Court di- rected the Florida State Supreme Court to re-examine a case in- volving religious • practices in public schools in light of yester- day's decision outlawing religi- ous practices in education. The issue dealt with a Florida re- ligious census to determine the faith of students and their par- ents, a religious test for teachers, baccalaureate programs, compul- sory Bible -reading, and other points. Lawsuits to test the state religious role in education were instituted by Miami Jews, agnos- tics, and Unitarians. Jewish organizations noted another Supreme Court decision on a religious issue in which the Court voted 7 to 2 that South Carolina cannot deny unemploy- ment benefits to a woman who was fired for refusing to work on Saturday. The woman was a Seventh Day Adventist who re- garded Saturday as her Sabbath as Jews do.
