Gov. Lausche Runs Again,
Ending Talk Of Senate
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. T.
Gov. Frank j. Lausche, Demo-
crat who withstood the 1852
Eisenhower landslide, today an
nounced his candidacy for his
fifth two-year term as governor
of Ohio.
The governor made the an
nouncement in a prepared state
ment released by his office.
II will be a candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket
at the May primary election" :"
the statement said.
The announcement put at rest
widespread speculation that the
governor might run for the un-
expected term of the late Sena-
tor Robert A. Taft or possibly re-
tire to private law practice. Gov
Lausche some weeks ago ap-
pointed Cleveland Mayor Thomas
A. Burke, also Democrat. to the
vacancy created by Senator
Taft's death, but there had been
wide speculation Gov. Lausche
might run for the last two years
of Senator Taft's term IN the
1854 election.

State Supreme Court
Rules Against Gideons'
New Testament Plan
By the Associated Press

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 1.-THE
New Jersey Supreme Court to-
day ruled the King James YER
sion of the New Testament could
not be distributed to children in
the States public schools.
In a 20-page opinion written
by Chief Justice Arthur T. VAN
derbilt, the court said, with
unanimous consent:
ITO permit the distribution of
the King James version of the
Bible in the public schools of
this State would be to cast aside
all the progress made IN the
United States and throughout
New Jersey in the field of re-
ligiouS federation and freedom
Would Renew Struggle.
1--WE would be renewing the
ancient struggles among the va
rious religious faiths to the detri-
ment of all. This we must de-
cline to do"
The case arose from a decision
by the Rutherford Board of Edu-
cation to distribute the King
James version of the New Testa-
ment and the Book of Psalms
and Proverbs to those children
whose parents requested it.
The books were given to the
board of education by the Gid
cons international, a non-profit
association incorporated under
the laws of Illinois. The society
is known for it's Gideon Bible
found in hotel rooms throughout
the world.
Case Is Court Test.
The case was instituted as a
court test of a national program
by Bible distribution in public
| schools by the Gideons.
A Jewish parent, Bernard
Tudor, and a Catholic. Ralph
Lecoque, obtained an injunction
forbidding distribution of the
books. Mr.. Lecoque later with
drew from the case, but Mr..
Tudor-backed by the American
Jewish CongreSS-Sought a rul-
ing that the board of education s
plan was unconstitutional.

the Parshall flume is constructed
and installed in the ditch there is
little than can happen that will de-
crease it's accuracy over the years.
Accurate and Simple
Advantages of the Parshall flume
are that it is accurate and also simple
to operate. Sand or silt in the water
is carried through the flume and
does not effect its operation or ac-
curacy of record. The velocity or
rate of flow of water as it approaches
the flume has little affect on its OPP
Grafton. Because of its construction
it measures under constant condi-
tions. 1t is unlikely to become in
accurate after long use. 1t operates
successfully with small loss of head
or ditch grade.
Although the Parshall flume is
more costly and difficult to con-
struct than the rectangular weir it
is more likely that more accurate
water measurements will be OBJ
tanned through its use. CONNER
cially constructed Parshall fumes
are on the market.
Your county extension agent or
Soil Conservation technician can
give you further information on the
use and construction of Parshall
fumes.
