BOMBAY - Indias Supreme Court has upheld the
right of a religious minority to run a government-alded
school without government interference.
The court ruled that Mary Browne Memorial Training
College, run by the Presbyterian Church, does not have to
reserve 80 per cent of its openings for government candl-
dates, as the Bombay government had ordered.
The court said that the government had acted beyond
its powers in giving the order, even though the school
receives government aid. 1t observed that the order had
severely restricted the right of the UNCONVENTIONAL in
stitution to admit students of its choice.

WASHINGTON - The District of Colunbia's legal
office has ruled that Catholic high schools cannot use
public school football stadiums because their games are
part of a sectarian activity.
The ruling said the six-member Catholic Leagues
games are part of the educational program of Catholic
schools and therefore a sectarian activity.
Catholic League games previously were played in Grit
fifth Stadium here, former home of the Washington Sena-
tors baseball team and the Redskins football team. That
stadium has been replaced by the new DC. Stadium. But
the rental costs are unreasonably high for both Catholic
and public high school teams in the new stadium.

Lifts O / ban

SAN JUAN, PR. - Archbishop James P. Davis has
lifted the order f~orbidding Catholics to vote for the Popular
Democratic party led by Gov. Luis Munoz Marin.
In 1860, the Bishops of Puerto Rico issued a pastoral
letter f%orbidding Catholics to vote for the Popular Demo-
Gratis. The party is not related to the mainland Democratic
party.
The Bishops at that time concentrated on a clause in
the partys platform which they characterized as anti
Christian and based on modern heresy."
