NEW YORK, April 28.-Many
American married men are taking
a great secret interest in the fate
of a proposed law being debated
in Britain's Parliament.
The law would give British wives
a legal right to a fair share of their
husbands income.
You understand, old bean, things
are done differently in America
and Britain. Here the average
wife can get everything in her
husbands pocket by force of arms,
language or tears.
But over there the Englishman
holds to the old-fashioned idea
that he is still the king of the
cottage.
Often British husbands won't
even tell the old girl how much
they really earn, figuring it really
isn't any of her business.

Court.
The Brooklyn-born brunette is

Her husband, Air Force 1t. An

an Army .45-caliber pistol in the
early morning of October 20. l949.
The shooting followed a party at
the Rhine-Main air base during
which Mrs. MadSen was teased
about her Brooklyn accent.
Mrs. MadSen sought release on
the ground that the occupation

properly recorded classified mill
tary information in private rec
ords and failed properly to safe

ton"
Gen. Grow was military attache
to the American Embassy in Mos
cow when his diary was alleged
to have been stolen and photo
graphed by a Soviet agent. In

ganda.

Court Upho|ds
Released Time
Religious Study
6-to-3 Ruling Terms
New York System
Legal Cooperation
By Robert K Walsh

A program to let children out
OF public school to get religious
instruction elsewhere was de-
clared constitutional by the Su-
preme Court today.
The Court upheld. 6-3. a New
York law of 1910 allowing re
leased time" from classes one
hour a week so that children can
receive sectarian teaching at de-
nominational centers off the
school premises. Justice Douglas
wrote the opinion.
Similar systems in several
States include at least 2 million
children, authorities have esti-
mated.
The decision, from which JUS
tlceS Black, Frankfurter and

important of its kind since the

the court dismissed an attack on

cal grounds, left the way open for
further tests.

struction in public school build

The McCollum case opinion was
written by Justice Black.
That opinion, together with
comments by several of the JUS
tlceS concerning the wall of
separation" between church and
State. aroused widespread discns-
sion. There still remained a uues-
ton whether the First Amend
ment to the Constitution made
such separation total" to the
point of preventing all co-opera-
ton between the Government and
religion.
Form of Cooperation,
In the decision today the Sill
preme Court sustained New York
State courts which last year held
that the released time program
was a constitutional form of CO.
operation between the public
schools and parents.
The New York program was at
tackled by Tessim Zorach and Esta
Cluck They contended it beached
the wall of separation of church
and State. They said their chill
dren did not participate in the
program but regularly attended
Protestant or Jewish schools for
religious instruction in hours when
public schools were not in session.
Under the New York system a
parent who wishes his child to re-
celve released time" instruction
must sign a card giving his ap-
proval and specifying the particu-
lar religious center to which his
child is to go. Children whose
parents do not request the re-
leased time instruction remain in
school for regular studies.

No Sun Since Wednesday.
Not since last Wednesday, which
started as an unseasonably hot
day. have area residents seen the
sun. At 3 o'clock that afternoon
came a relieving shower. and at
4:20 there was another.
At 1855 pm. it started to rain,
and with few intermissions it has
rained ever since.
Whether it all amounts to a
record depends on the Viewpoint.
The Weather Bureau probably
won't list it as such because of the

citizen probably will remember it
as the long, wet spell that outdid
the 81 consecutive rainy hours of
April, 1918.
