"A Major Decisions
Pending May Delay
Courts Adjournment

The Supreme Court. having
passed its usual first-Monday-in
June adjournment date. caused
speculation today that it might
go beyond a tentative June Is
goal before ending the current
terms.
It handed down only four
comparatively sma all written
opinions yesterday. This reduced
the remaining docket to about
"a argued cases still awaiting
decision. But that big batch in
cluded such major issues as
racial segregation in District
public schools and restaurants
and the perjury conviction ap-
peal of Harry Bridges, West
Coast labor leader.
The court indicated a week
ago that unless otherwise or
dered" the June-to-October re-
cess would begin after a final
session June is. The order list
yesterday contained no further
comment.
In view of the Nation wide i'm
portance and complexity Of
many of the remaining cases,
the court might stay in session
until June %. The court con-
tinued that late several years
ago. But also in recent years it
sometimes wound up a term by
handing down Is or Is written
opinions at a final sitting.
One of the few opinions yes

clared people have to be re-
minded Of the implications Of
"sin" and the need for forgive
ness of sin" It added the change

members of other denomina-
tions in reciting Of the prayer.
Reasons Listed.
But a committee studying the
proposal defended the traditional
Presbyterian use of debts" and
debtors" as sound on these
grounds:
/. Biblical. New Testament
experts agree debts" and
debtors are more accurate
translations of the Greek "ophe-
ilemata" and "opheliletais" than
sins" and "sin."
2. Theological. TN a strict
sense, sins are committed against
God and can be forgiven only by
Him. It is, by contrast debts and
offenSes which are incurred and
committed against us. and can
be forgiven by u.s.
3. Liturgical. Long usage has
"endeared" the words to genera
tions and those who would
change them must prove it is
needed.
4. Ecclesiastical. "There ap-
pears little justification for
changing the familiar wording
of the Lords Prayer, and far
from helping in interdenomina-
tional affairs. several Protestant
denominations have indicated
there is little Likelihood what
ever Of their churches making
any such change in the forsee-
able future"
Warning on Education.
DR.. Ganse Little of Pasadena,
Calf. yesterday warned that
higher education has become
completely secularized" and by
doing so has lost Its unity and
its sense of mission"
"Our modern secularized cam
puses, lacking the validity of the
truth of God, now worship the
half-truths of the saving science,
the saving economics. the saving
philosophy" DR.. Little declared.
1.-THE means to the end of free
dom under God has once again
become an end in itself"
He said the churches must
provide "the call to a recaptured
sense of mission and unity upon

Profit Tax Extension
Attacked as Threat 10
Business Expansion
By Robert K. Welsh

President Eisenhower's pro-
posal to extend the excess profits
tax for six months was attacked
before the House Ways and
Means Committee today as an
unnecessary expedient and a
threat to business growth and
employment.
A parade Of Is witnesses,
mainly officials of manufactur-
ing concerns, declared that such
an extension beyond June 80
would be unfair to the $4,000
businesses paying it and unwise
for the national economy.
Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey, who opened the
hearings yesterday by urging the
month continuance to raise
$500 million. will return. for fur
ther questioning tomorrow. He
had been scheduled to appear
again today but the committee
decided to hear the out-of- town
witnesses. Chairman Reed said
the committee wants Secretary
Humphrey to clarity his views
concerning a suggestion for con-
tinuation of other corporation
and excise taxes beyond sched-
uled expiration dates next March.
Humphreys View Noted.
Elisha Gray, president of a
Michigan company that manu-
factures automatic laundry
equipment, noted that Secretary
Humphrey dislikes the excess
profits tax and hopes it will end
December 81.
Mr.. Gray declared, however,
that Mr.. Humphrey made rather
light Of" the difference in pay
ments that corporations would
have to make if the tax were
continued only six months. Mr..
Gray estimated his company
would have to pay another SIS
million.
This is a tax on growth" Mr.
Gray told the committee. "The
Government already has ade-
uuate laws for siphoning of lln-
reasonable profits. In this mat
ter of the excess profits tax,
Congress should not bow to ex-
pediency. It is never too early
to- rectify a profound tax in
justice"
See Threat to Expansion.
Walter Ditmar, a Meriden,
Conn.,. manufacturer, contended
that the tax "cripples initiative
and strikes at labor by shackling
corporate expansion" He also
charged that the tax was "fath-
cred" years ago by a Senate in
vestigating committee of which
Alger Hiss was counsel.
Mel Eaton, president of a Nor
