Ludke Raises Flag, but Still
Forbids Oath by Ousted Pupils
Children Watch as Father, Refusing to
Compromise on Religious Faith, Runs
Emblem U at Country Home.

YOU see, ne remarked, L know.
I served 10 months in the Army dur
ing the World War"
Ludke said he enlisted in an am
bulance corps, which was supposed to
go overseas, but was held in this
country. He became a medical SER
geant. He is rather proud of his mill
tary service.
I'VE are good citizens" he added,
referring to his sect, "and we obey
the laws OF the country so long as they
don't interfere with our consciences.
But We cannot subscribe to a cere-
mony or an oath which places some
thing else above God"
He put up the flag, he said, to show
he did 1t honor, but he considered the
oath OF allegiance at school a deifica-
ton of civil authority, which he and
his family would resist with their last
breath.
Conspicuous on Staff.
The Ludke house is about quarter
OF mile back of the highway, but
the flag, 6 by feet, was conspicuous
to motorists as it waved high above
the trees.
There are home classes in element
ary subjects for four of the children
Louise, H. Walter, 10; Esther, 8, and
Fred, 13. The other two-Ruth, is,
and Frances, 14-are taking a high
school business course Mrs. Florence
Woodworth is teaching the elementary
course and Mrs. Ethel Banton the
high Schoo, subjects.
Ludke still declares he is entitled
to have his children educated in the
Maryland schools, since he is a citizen
and taxpayer. He took his case into
the courts last Spring, but the Board
Of Education was upheld by the Cir
cult Court at Upper Marlboro. He
planned an appeal. but now says he
will await action of the United States
Supreme Court in similar cases ap-
pealed from Georgia and New Jersey.
He predicts that the Supreme Court
at least will take jurisdiction and hear
one of the cases, because he feels a
constitutional question of religious
freedom is involved.
Our country was founded by people
who feel as I do," he said. They
came here with the assurance that
they could worship God, each in his
own way"

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.

OXON HILL, Md, October "A
large American flag f1uttered today
from staff in front of the country
home of August A. Ludke, whose six
children were expelled from the
Prince Georges County schools be-
cause they refused to take an oath Of
loyalty to the national emblem.
The flag was raised yesterday after
noon in the presence Of reporters and
photographers from Washington,
where Ludke is employed in the city
postoff1ce. He did it, he said, to show
that he is patriotic citizen, willing
to render unto Caesar the things
which are Caesars"
Meanwhile the Ludke case, which
attracted wide attention last year
when the children were dropped from
their classes, remained uncompro-
missed.
Surrender Denied.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ludke made it clear
that the raising Of the flag was not q
surrender to the religious views which
impelled their children to refuse to
take part in the ceremony at school.
And the Board Of Education con-
tinued to insist that the ritual re-
quired by Maryland law must be COM
piled with before the children could
return to school.
The children are being taught by
special tutors at home.
They were clustered about their
father when the flag was pulled to the
top Of the staff he cut from a chest
nut on his 20-acre farm and painted
white.
The cement base of the pole bore
this inscription: Kingdom School.
No. T."
The father explained that this re-
ferred to the kingdom of heaven" /"
which his religious group, Jehovah's
Witnesses, are attempting to form on
earth.
% No Ritual Arranged
There was no ceremony, for Je-
hovah's Witnesses, Ludke said. do
not believe in rituals, religious or
civil, regarding them as forms of
devil worship"
But Ludke was careful to spread
and lift the flag according to mill
tary tradition.

Angry Because of Lack
of Heat.

A committee of angry mothers last

400 children, until the heating plant

her they would recommend such a
withdrawal Of pupils at the PIT. A.

ciently. In accordance with the
School Board order that classes should
not be held in rooms where the tenn
perature is less than 81 degrees, sew
eral classes were dismissed.
The boiler, Mrs. Allen said, has
been out Of order since last May. She
added, however, that she had heard
from Acting Supt. Of Schools Rober,
L. Haycock that it would be fixed ir
about a week
However" Mrs. Allen said, "wt
went out there and were disappointed
with the progress being made. No.
couldn't do anything until No got

Mrs. Allen said the Parent Teacher

she expected nearly 400 parents woulc
attend the meeting Tuesday night.
