 Washington, March 2-(UP)-I guess youn have to judge for your- self whether the government is pub- fishing blasphemous books for school children.
 The New Jersey Council of Chris Han Churches claims 1t is and has demanded the banning of the high school textbook, "Wlngs For You" which the Civil Aeronautics Admin lstration helped prepare. The churchmen say 1t contains too many gods and hells for future aviators. The good old government, which never before has been charged with teaching profanity to small fry, was keeping it's mouth shut. The Aero- nautics Administrators wouldn't comment on the charges of the Rev. 3. D. Arendt, the Trenton, N. J., president of the council. They did lend me a copy of the book, which turned out to be a hair-raislng cole lection of stories about aviation.
