father because of the mothers con-
n6,tiCn with Jehovahs Wltness2a
and her belief in such teachings.
This court is not going to mlnCe
words about it." Thompson said in
giving his decision. These children
were being taught a disrespect for
our government and I don't care
whether these people like il or not
you can 90 to the supreme court
if you want to take il there and Ii
the supreme court wants to assume
the burden Of saving otherwise
this court will not be party tc
any such doctrine as that, partcu-
lally in such times as this when
our country is fighting for its eX-
istence and the maintenance OF
democracy"
Judge Thompson pointed out that
Mrs Wilson said she had NOT taugh;
the children the doctrine OF Jeho-
yah's Witnesses but said In the
courts mind. the mother, whether
she realizes it or not, most certain
IL implantS her beliefs IN the minds
of her young children. 1t may have

there. and so il will continue. Either
parent cannot set up a barrier be-
tween themselves and their children
with regard to the things that they
actually believe in their minds and
souls. and expect the childen not
to absorb it.
In discussing the printed matter
introduced by Darwin II. Wolforo,
deputy district attorney and attor-

some of this printed matter Is
the teaching of intolerance, an at

right and all others must be wrong.
Thompson said one CT the Wilson
