The Supreme Court, splitting
5 to 4, ruled today that public
school funds, raised by taxation,
may be used to pay for trans
portation of children to Catholic
parochial schools.
The division, in New Jersey
case, came over the question Of what
it takes to constitute establishment
of religion" which is forbidden by
the Constitution.
The majority ruled that the New
Jersey law is social or public bere-
fit legislation, and that no person
may be excluded from the benefits
of such legislation by reason of his
religion. It held that the benefit
to the church was incidental.
The dissenters held that the pay
ment contravenes the prohibition
In the first amendment to the Con-
stitution, against taxation Of q citi-
zen for the support Of beliefs TO

British General Slain as Italians
Demonstrate Against Treoty;
U.S S. Embassy Heavily Guarded
YugosIovs Open Fire
In Defending Their
Legation in Rome
BY the Associofed Press

ROME, Feb. 10.-A British Off
Ger, Brig. R. w. M. De Winton,
was shot to death by a woman
today in Pola, an international
Adriatic port and naval base
awarded to Yugoslavia in the
Italian peace treaty signed to-
day, British military officers said
A mass evacuation of $4,000 of the
$4,000 Italians in Pola was under
way.
While italian police and troops
stood with machine guns and rifles
IN increased strength before the
American and British Embassies
crowds of Italians, angered by the
peace treaty awarding Pola and part
of Venezia Giulia to Yugoslavia
demonstrated before the Yugoslav
Legation and demanded that its flag
be pulled down.
Guard Shoots Through Door.
Italians hammered against lega-
ton door. A Yugoslav soldier guard
fired burst through the door with
an automatic rife. Josip Defran-
ceski, press attache of the Legation
said no one was hit. He said Italian
police officials later arrived and de-
manded that arms be surrendered
The police also asked that the
Yugoslav flag be brought down, be-
cause "it was dangerous to fly 1t.
The request was refused.
Brig. De Winton, commander OF
the British 18th Infantry Brigade,
was shot while inspecting guard
He went to Pola only two weeks ago
with his forces tc relieve the British
guards regiment then garrisoned at
the Allied enclave at Pola.
Save for the brief announcement,
the British maintained official sill
ence regarding the shooting. All
civilian and military telephone lines
to Trieste we're out of order.
Disorderly Demonstrations.
The solemn observance OF the
treaty signing in Rome, centered
around the tomb of the unknown
soldier of the first World War, de-
generated later into a few dis
orderly demonstrations. Students
and foodlums ranged through the
streets.
The throng which demonstrated
before the four-story headquarters
of the Yugoslav delegation to the
Allied Commission, an Office with
the rank of a legation, was estl-
mated at several hundred.
Its vanguard stormed into the
building and smashed windows and
doors. +"
Another throng of students, in
terspersed with hoodlumS, marched
to the American, Russian and Brit
ish Embassies, where they Jeered
and whistled. They maintained
their distances at the three places
because of heavy guards of Italian
police and troops.
Assembly Is Jeered.
At Montecitorio, where the Con-
stituent Assembly scheduled a half
hour suspension as sign OF mourn
ing, another throng jeered and
shouted:
"Buffoons."
Throughout Rome, signs put up
by the Allied commission shortly
after Allied troops entered Rome,
were broken.

Guild Official Denie,
Restrictions Forced
Closing Of Record
Stern Probably Sold
Paper to Make Profit,
House Hearing Told
By J. A. OLeoY

Members of the House Labor
Committee today ross-examined
Sam B. Eubanks, executive vice
president of the American News
paper Guild, closely on his claim
that a guild strike did not force
J. David Stern to suspend and
sell his three papers in the Phil
adelphia area.
Mr. Eubanks, in testimony before
the committee, described as false
Mr., Stern's charges that guild policy
had restricted the rights of manage
ment to point where it became toe
great a burden to Operate a com.
pletoly independent press" Ht
charged that Mr.. Stern's suspension
of publication was "for financia.
gain" and not because of the guile
strike.
Representative Kersten. Republi.
can, of Wisconsin brought out In the
questioning that the chief editorial
writer and number of other top
ranking Office men on the Record
we're in the guild and asked the
witness if that arrangement was
conducive to a free press.
II don't know what it has to dc
with a free press" Mr.. Eubanks
replied.
Denies Communism Link.
Mr.. Kersten also asked the wit
ness If it was true that when Mr..
Stern started ito hammer commu-
nism in 1886 negotiations began to
get tough"
Mr.. Eubanks replied he had no
knowledge of that and declared
that If the committee member was
implying that communism had any
thing to do with labor-management
relations in this case, he was wrong.
Representative Mcconnell, Re
publican, of Pennsylvania, said it
was still not clear to him why the
guild proceeded with a strike against
the Philadelphia Record, which had
been regarded as liberal" and,
mot against the Philadelphia In
QuIIcI.
Mr.. Eubanks replied it had been
his observation that, regardless Of
the outward appearance of harmony
between the Record and the guild,
a deterioration had been going on
under the surface for some time.
Mr.. Mcconnell said he was sur
prised to hear that, in view Of the
editorial policy of the Record and
statements which had been made
to him by employees Of the Record.
Sees Wages as Issue.
Before the questioning started Mr.
Eubanks testified the only conclu-
sion he could reach as to the cause
of the strike was Mr.. Stern's de-
termination to stand on wage offer
that was inadequate. The witness
asserted the current paper shortage
gave Mr.. Stern a valuable asset to
sell, IN the form of his newsprint
contracts.
When he suspended publication of
the Record and his two papers in
Camden, N. j., the Post and the
Courier, Mr.. Stern sold their assets
to the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Mr.. Eubanks conceded that

Russia ToPay
 Stiff Lend.Lease

WASHINGTON, (H) - Russia ytands to get a stiffer lend-lease bill than any of this country's other wartime allies once the long-de- vel settlement talks get under Wav.
 The reason, however, is neither Soviet-American differences on current world issues nor the Krem- lin'S year-long refusal even to dis cuss her Sll,298, 100000 lend-lease account.
 Rather, it is the larger propor- on of lasting, civilian-type goods which were shipped to the Soviet Union as part of the $50,000,000, ,000 flow of supplies which poured from the United States to it's allies up to V-J day.
 In the case of other nations this country has agreed to accept either in cash or promises to pay less than three cents on the dollar.
 But officials who helped wind up the vast enterprise said today Russia will be expected to ante at a substantially heavier rate.

The 1947 Legislature rewrote

Features of Law
It's main features provide:
No person Or organization, with
certain exceptions, may solicit for
charitable purposes from the pub
lie, either by mail or through per-
SOnal solicitation, without a Ii
cense from the Welfare Board.
Offering of merchandise, peri
odicals, or entertainment for sale
will not exempt a person or or
ganization from provisions of the
law.
No person may solicit or collect
contributions without having with
him at all times written au-
thorization to solicit, and this
must be shown to any person on
request.
Certain individuals may be IL
censed to solicit for their own
support upon proper investigation
of the circumstances of their in
diVidual cases.
Any person or organization
wishing to secure a license must
file a written application with
the Welfare Board, setting forth
proof Of the Worthiness of the
cause, the need for public solicit
tations, proposed use Of funds
and verified financial report of
the ORGANIZATIONS activities for a

many person from nearby states

public for donations or had them
sell items such as magazines. For
this the individual unfortunate
