Mrs. McCoI|um Says Religion
Is Unhurt by School Ruling

Mrs. vashti McCollum of Cham
paign, ILL.,, central figure In the
Supreme Courts decision outlawing
released time" religious teaching in
public schools, declared here today
it is absolutely ridiculous" to say
the ruling weakened religion in the
United States.
The 36-year-old wife of Univer-
sity of Illinois professor described
herself as "humanist" with a be-
lief in a deity. She is not an atheist
or freethinker and has been greatly
misrepresented by people who dis
torted" her stand, she said.
But" she added, while I am
more Of a deist, my ideas might not
be the same as other humanists who
believe in God. As for theological
controversy, I'm not particularly in
terested and I'm just neutral on the
subject"
/ Mrs. McCollum, here for a visit
with former classmate, became
nationally known last spring when
the Supreme Court upheld her ap-
peal to declare unconstitutional q

classes in public schools in Cham

Agriculture Statistics
Indicate Early Rise
In Choice Beef Supply

Choice beefsteaks and roasts prob
ably will be more plentiful the rest
of the winter and the coming spring
than last year.
This was indicated by an Asricul-
ture Department report yesterday
that livestock farmers have q record
number Of cattle being fattened on
grain and other concentrated feeds
for the slaughter market. In gen.
eral, cattle fattened on grain make
better quality beef than those fed
on grass.
Beef prices In washington stores
for this week end showed some de-
cline. Steaks were quoted at 70,
cents to 10 cents, depending on
grade. Sirloin and porterhouse
prices generally are the same. In
some stores these prices represent
a decline of a cent or two from
prices advertised last week.
Grass Fed Cattle Fewer.
Despite the increase in supply OF
choice beef, the supply OF medium
and lower quality Is expected to be
smaller than last year because mar
ketings Of cattle fed on pastures and
ranges will be less.
The total cattle population has
been declining for several years
from record wartime peaks.
Oficials SAID beef prices in the
months ahead could be expected to-
average higher than q year ago be-
cause more Of the supply will be

The 1s4s supply of all meats Is
expected to be about the same as
last year. But prospects point to
smaller total supplies of beef. veal,
lamb and mutton, but more pork.
Spend Less on Meat.
The department said in another
report today that consumers were
spending only about s per cent Of
their income for meat by the end

Il do not believe it is necessary
in Champaign. but I can see how
it could be defended in some places
where churches might not have any
facilities for religious teaching OF
their children" she said.
Son, II, in Private School.
Mrs. McCollun, mother of three
boys, said her oldest son Terry, now
IA, is attending a private high
school in Champaign. His "em-
barrassment" as a public school
pupil was a big factor in causing
her to fight against the released
time program of religious teaching.
Terry, then 10, had to sit alone,
often in a school corridor. while
most of his schoolmates attended
the classes.
While there has been some per-
sonal attacks on us" since the
Supreme Court decision, Mrs. Nc
Collum said she is not bitter. She
mas received more than 5000 letters,
most of them agreeing with her.
Most of the others were unsigned
letters or pamphlets, some of them
very sweet In trying to reason with
me, but most Of them obviously
were from cranks," she added.
Experiences Vandalism.
She disclosed that garbage was
thrown into her living room on one
occasion and lights were broken on
her lawn Christmas tree.
Her two other sons, Daniel, II,
and Enrol. 8, attend public school
in their home city and, with Terry,
they also 60 to a Unitarian Sunday
School to learn something about

Mrs. McCollum said her visit here,

in her case before the Supreme
Court a year ago, was entirely per.

invited to a small luncheon to meet

Perhaps the best piece of news
last week for most eX-servicemen
was the long-awaited announcement
that the VA would commence the
payment of dividends on National
Service Life Insurance in January,
1880 Approximately $4,000, 600, 900
will be disbursed as dividends. a.
mounting to about SITS on the aver
age.
The actual amount to be received
by any policyholder will, of course,
depend upon the amount of pre-
miums paid and the length of time
the policy has been kept in force.
Insurance kept in force for at least
three months will, it is understood.
be eligible for dividends.
Insurance dividends will be paid
in cash under present plans and are
expected to give the nations bust
ness and industry powerful finan-
cial boost. After the 1850 dividend,
future dividend payments will be
made on an annual basis.
Sometime during late summer or
early fall, it is expected that gen.
eral public announcement will be
made, informing veterans and others
how to make application for divi-
dends. In the meantime, the VA
has requested that no inquiries be
made at the present time, since
such inquiries will only serve to
delay actual payments.

Little Woman

To maintain lovely limbs, she
might first of all, defu2z her legs
with good depilatory wax. It's
recommended because the wax pulls
the hairs out by the roots so that
it takes longer to grow in Shaving
is never advisable, particularly for
our Niseiette whose hair is usually
thicker than her hakujin sister, as
it only encourages stubby dark
growth appearing in a day or SO.
The next step is to rub some medi-
Gated cream and then finish up by
bathing with skin tonic or witch
hazel. She might then apply sun
tan lotion, or salad oil if she wishes
remembering that regular applca-
tons of oil will improve the skin
texture of her legs.
Our little woman is now ready
to step forth with best foot forward
to find herself a place in the sun.

Ruling on 0ber Law
Hailed and Dep|ored; i;
|Apped| Is Planned
By the kssocioied Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-A court
ruling that Maryland's anti
subversive Ober law is unconsti-
tutional drew comments ranging
from jubilation to shock today.
Judge Joseph Sherbow ruled in
the Baltimore Circuit Court yes
terday that the act passed by the
1949 Legislature is IAN unlawful
bill of attainder," and violates
basic guarantees of personal
freedom.
Attorney General Hall Ham,
mond announced Immediately that
he will ask the Maryland Court of
Appeals to review the decision. If
the appellate court upholds Judge
6herbow, Mr.. Hammond said he
will attempt to take the case be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court.
He said yesterdays decision has
the effect of making the Ober law
inoperable and invalid.
Reaction Is Prompt.
Under it, all employees of the
State and its subdivisions were re-
quired to take loyalty oaths. Heavy
fines and prison sentences were
set up for those belonging to sub
versive organizations.
Reaction to the judges decision
came quickly.
Harold Buchanan, director of the
State Progressive Party, hailed it
as "a ringing victory for the people
of Maryland"
"Only the real advocates of
force and violence and those who
would reduce the Bill of Rights to
a scrap of paper have suffered a
defeat" he said.
Delegate Leona Rush, Republi-
can, of Montgomery County said
on the other hand that the deci-
sion comes as terrible shock. 2"
Member of Commission.
She was a member of the special
commission headed by w. Frank
Ober, Baltimore attorney, which
drafted the law. Mr.. Ober is on a
trip in the Canadian woods.
Delegate N. Newcomer, Re
publican, Of Washington County,
the only member of the Legisla-
ture who voted against the Ober
act, said it was passed "in a time
of hysteria." He added he was
delighted by Judge Sherbow's de-
cision.
Francis J. Vale, State COM
mander of the Veterans of For
eign Wars, said that 1--WE are still
for the Ober bill"
THE VFW feels that we must
fight Communism with laws that
have teeth in them -.
Plea Led to Ruling.
But no true American need
fear an anti-Communist bill. The
Court of Appeals will have its
say"
Judge Sherbow made his ruling
in the case of six college profes"
sors, psychiatrist, physician, a
salesman and sculptor who went
to court asking an order to pro-
hibit II State officials and police
authorities from enforcing the
law.
The Communist Party of Mary
land had filed a similar action.
