Pantheist Oath Case
Hearing Set in County

A hearing has been set for
Wednesday in Prince Georges S
Circuit Court on a suit in which a
Brentwood (Md0 man seeks to
force the Town Council to seat
him although he will not take the
prescribed oath because of his re-
ligious convictions.
The suit was brought by j. Mil
ton Stanford, 40, of 4409 Fortieth
street, pantheist. When the
council refused to seat Mr.. STAN
ford after his reelection in June
unless he took the oath, he ap-
pealed to Gov. Lane. The Cover
nor referred the case to Attorney
General Hall Hammond, who rec
commended the court action.
Article 10 of the Maryland Code
says that a public official must
declare orally his belief in the
Christian religion or, if he pro-
fesses to be a Jew, of his belief in
a future state of rewards and pun
iShments >"
Mr.. Stanford. who is willing to
take an oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States,
said he assumes the belief IN a
future state of rewards and pun
ishments," by implication, at least,
a1so ap1ies tn statements by non
Jews. including pantheists.
According to Webster's Die
tionary, pantheism is described as
"the doctrine that the universe,
taken or conceived of as a whole,
is God; the doctrine that there is
no God but the combined forces
and laws which are manifested in
the existing universe"
The hearing will be before
Judge Charles c. Marbury.

County Councils
Election Law Test
| By

Carey E. Quinn, attorney to
the Montgomery Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors, said today he
will recommend that the board
seek a court decision on the valid
ity of a law requiring non-parti-
san elections for members Of the
County Council.
The measure. passed last May
by the council, Is in direct conflict
with the so-called Lindsay law
enacted by the General Assembly.
This law prohibits non-partisan
elections in any county having .
charter form of government.
Mr.. Quinn said he will make his
recommendation some time after
August Is. since all laws adopted
in May do not become effective
until that date. He added the pur.
pose of his recommendation will
be to avoid confusion between the
two laws.
