British Fail in Try
To Tax Olivier for
Pay for Not Aetna
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, July 12.-The British
government lost an attempt today
to require Sir Laurence Olivier
to pay taxes on f15,000 ($43,000
he received for not acting.
The unusual case arose this
way: Olivier made the movie,
Henry the Fifth" for Two Cities
Films and received payment from
that company in July. 1945, for
agreeing to refrain from acting
in or producing films for 18
months. The object was to assist
the exploitation of Henry the
Fifth"
The government maintained the
payment was subject to income
tax. Olivier said it was a capital
payment not liable to tax. He
was upheld by the special tax
commissions. The government
appealed and lost. The Chancery
Division pointed out that refrain
ing from acting was not a usual
practice among actors.
He retired as vice president Of
Columbia and as chairman of
Manufacturers Light and Heat
Co. in 1914.

New York High Court Backs
Religious Recess for Pupils
BY the Associofed Press

ALBANY, N. Y, July 12.-New
York's highest court has upheld
the constitutionality of a State
law permitting public schools to
excuse pupils one hour a week to
attend outside religious classes.
Judge Charles w Froessel of
the State Court of Appeals wrote
that the constitution "does not
demand that every friendly ges-
ture between Church and State
shall be discountenanced."
The State law was CHALLENGED
by two New York City parents, a
Protestant and a Jew, who con-
tended that the so-called ire
leased time" proo~~'~- constituted
aid to religion and violated the
constitutional requirement of
separation of church and State.
In 1948, the Tinted States
