The High Court cited its decisions of last term that devotional exer- cises of this kind are an "estab- lishment o freligion" forbidden by the Constitution. Florida law requires Bible reading but does not mention other practices. A group of Miami parents also objected to baccalaureate pro- grams questioning children about their religious affiliation and that of their parents; and a religious test for teachers. The Court's brief order today dismissed these com- plaints "for want of properly pre- sented Federal question." Mem- bers of the complaining group are either Jewish, Unitarian or ag- nostic. The case came to the U. S. Supreme Court last term after Flordia tribunals had struck down such state practices as use of the school premises after hours for Bible instruction, exhibition of re- ligious films in the schools, and presentation of Christmas, Easter and Chanukah programs. The U.S. Supreme Court sent the case back for further consideration in light of its decision on Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer. But the Florida Supreme court approved the practices a second time on the ground that their purpose was to encourage good moral training rather than to promote religion. The State Court cited remarks to this effect by the State Legisla ture in the preface to the statute. The action was in the form of a brief, unsigned opinion. Justice Stewart dissented. He said the court should have heard arguments on the case. Stewart was the sole dissenter in the two precious de- cisions that states may not provide for religious devotions in public schools. -Justice William 0. Douglas and Justice Hugo L. Black joined the others in reversing the prayer and Bible reading aspects of the case, but they thought a substantial question was presented as to a religious test for teachers. They noted that applicants are required to answer the question, "Do you believe in God?" They said re- ligious attitudes are also con- sidered in making promotions. Rabbi Harry Halpern, of Brooklyn, representing t h e United Synagogue of America, central body of Conservative Congregations, told the House Judiciary Committee here that no constitutional amendments permitting school prayers and Bible-reading are necessary. Rabbi Halpern, speaking for the Conservatice movement, told the committee, headed by Congress- man Emanuel Celler, New York Democrat, that there is no need for alteration of the U.S. Consti- tution in such a way as to over- turn the Supreme Court's ban against school prayers and Bible reading. (In New York, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the Lubavitcher rebbe, issued another statement reiterating his position, favoring the voicing by school pupils of a non-dnominational prayer, b u t opposing Bible-reading in the public schools.) Congressman Celler, opening the sixth week of hearings on 147 pending amendments intended to override the Supreme Court's rulings on this issue, said he was sure "the tide has turned" and all of the proposed amendments would fail. Speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, Daniel Neal Heller, national command- er of the Jewish War Veterans, scored those who have tried to pin the "godless" label on any- one approving the Supreme Court Decision against prayer in public schools. The Miami attorney pointed out that the Jewish War Veterans had adopted overwhelmingly the re- solution in support of the Supreme Court decision. Rep.

Following the graduation exer- cises there will be a reception in honor of the 202 graduates in the Morris Adler Hall. The theme of the graduation — taken from the prayer book — is "Compassionate Father . . . imbue us with the will to understand, to discern, to hearken and to learn, to teach and to obey, to practice and to fulfill in love all the teach- ings of Thy Torah." Eight senior high school grad- uates who excelled in their studies will deliver brief comments on the theme. They are Gloria Burns, Neal Bruss, Robin Tanzman, Mark Scholnick, Carole Nathan, Ahuva Edelman, John Harvith and David Braverman. * * * A ceremony marking the gradu- ation of the 1964 class of the Shaarey Zedek Beth Ha y e 1 e d Kindergarten is scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday in the social hall.

The committee showed im- mediate and friendly interest. Rep. Gallagher suggested that it convert a proposed constitu- tional amendment he sponsored last year into a simple Con- gressional expression in favor of the plan in the amendment. The plan is to set aside a few minutes at the start of the school day for silent prayer or meditation. Rep. Celler said that this idea, or a similar one, might serve to get sponsors of many of the pending 147 resolutions calling for consti- tutional amendments "off the hook." The sponsors seek to avoid a Supreme Court ban on such sectarian practices as unconstitu- tional.
