Ohio Approves Fees
For Christian Science
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 2s.-
Christian Science churchmen won
a 34-year struggle as Ohio be-
came the 48th State to let their
practitioners charge fees.
The 98th Ohio General Assem-
bly, gave assent for the first time
after long debate in both houses.
Proposals to allow practitioners to
charge for their services pre-
viously had cleared one house
only to meet defeat in the other.
Christian Science practitioners
heretofore could accept only gifts
for their ministrations in Ohio.
Gov. Frank J. Lausche signed
the new law. and it goes into
effect tomorrow. It provides that:
Treatment of human ills
through prayer alone by a prac-
titioner of the Christian Science
Church in accordance with the
tenets and creed of such church
shall not be regarded as the
practice of medicine"
That exempts the practitioners
from Ohio's medical laws and
permits them to charge fees,
sponsors of the law explain.
