$4,000 damage suit OF 33-year- r-old
Amish farmer against four church
officials goes to a Common Pleas
Court jury today, with both sides
labelling the case test of religious
freedom.
Testimony and final arguments in
the civil action brought by Andrew
J. Yoder, who claims the four de-
PENDANTS of the sect reduced him
to the status of a social outcast by
imposition of the Amish mite" OF
boycott, were completed late yester-
day. Judge Walter j. Mougey was
to deliver his charge to the jury OF
nine men and three women today.
Case Called Life or Death"
In his summation, George Bar
nard, attorney for Mr.. Yoder, told
the jury:
"You have been given a novel
case and you have an important
decision to make. You must decide
whether progress shall be stopped
because a few people go back 315
years and try to invoke on our form
of government the curses of an
ancient age. To the Amish of this
community who want to be Amer
leans in the truest sense Of the
word, this case is life or DEATH
This country was founded by
people who rebelled against the
ancient and cruel customs of the
Old World and this trial is another
stage in this general revolution,
Mr.. Barnard added.
Referring to the defendants, Mr.
Barnard explained that the suit
was not against the Amish Church
but against the four individuals
serving as officials of one congre-
cation.
This clique ooes not deserve the
name of church." Mr.. Barnard
contended. "It's a secret band and
they want to maintain their die
tatorship over a group of people,
many of whom do not believe in
prosecuting their neighbor just be-
cause he transfers his membership
from one congregation to another -
Mr. Yoder asserted he was boy
cotted after transferring his men,
bership from the Helmuth district
church to the more liberal Bunker
Hill district congregation because he
bought an automobile to transport
his invalid daughter for medical
treatment. Regulations of the Hell
muth district church forbid owner
ship or operation of an automobile.
The four churchmen-Bishop John
w. Helmuth of Beach City, Minis
tiers Isaac I. Miller of Apple Greek
and John j. Nisley of Fredericks-
burg, and Deacon Emanuel D. Wen
gard of Beach City-conducted their
own defense as Amish regulations
forbid employment of attorneys.
Bishop Helmuth told the jury that
Mr.. Yoder made a confession of
faith which stands before Cod
when he joined the Helmuth district
church and that when he trans
ferred his membership to the Bunker
Hill district congregation, he broke
a church rule and thereby caused
imposition of the boycott.

with Rocket Scopes
BY the Assoeiofed Press

AZUSA, Calf, Nov. 7.-Explora-

dreamed-of" scale is not far off in
the forthcoming rocket age, DR.
Fritz Zwicky, California Institute
of Technology scientist, predicted
yesterday,
Rocket-borne telescopes photo
graphing the heavens at heights of
300 to 600 miles will expand tre-
mendously present knowledge OF
the universe. DR.. Zwicky, professor
of astrophysics, told Army and Navy
officials.
THE construction of very high
flying rockets is imperative and
should be undertaken without de-
lay" DR.. Zwicky declared, adding
that he is planning research on
primary rockets of the W. type
which would carry smaller, second
ary rockets.
The smaller rockets, he said. may
reach heights up to 600 miles, gear
ing scientific equipment. The tele-
scope and camera carrying rockets
would be examined by scientists or
their return to earth.
He predicted that rocket-borne
telescopes will relegate earth-tied
telescopes-even Caltechs 20O-inch
mirror-to a secondary role.
DR.. Zwicky said he also foresaw
''the possibility of spectroscopic
prospecting on the surface of plan
etary bodies" by shooting artificial
meteors-on the rocket principle
from the earth.
IF the particles are large
enough" DR.. zwicky said. "the re-
sulting flashes of their landings on
the moon, on Jupiter and other
planetary bodies are conceivably
observable with present-day tele-
scopic equipment"
Rockets, he concluded, are the
main tool in opening IAN era of an
entirely new type of scientific ex-
perimentation :"
