The General Federation Of
Women's Clubs passed this
morning an emergency reso-
luton calling for a consti-
tutional amendment to coun-
ter Mondays Supreme Court
ruling on official prayers in
public schools.
The resolution, written by
the five-member Resolutions
Committee of the federation.
urges every club woman in
each state federation to work
actively for a Constitutional
amendment which will allow
non-denominational religious
observance in all American
institutions receiving public
or private revenues if partici-
patton therein is not made
compulsory"
In presenting the resolu-
tion to delegates at the Fed
eration's list annual conven-
ton in the Sheraton Park
Hotel, Mrs. Gerald E. North
rop, chairman Of the Resolu-
tions Committee said, 1--WE
feel the Supreme Court could
not have made any other de-
cision. The Court was de-
Gliding on the legality of the
New York District School
Boards action in composing
a prayer for recitation in the
schools"
The purpose Of the resolu-
ton, she explained, was to
make the recitation of such
a prayer legally possible.
The motion was carried
with only a few dissenting
votes. Its passage was pre-
ceded by about Is minutes
of sometimes impassioned dis +,
cuSsion.
Mrs. E. Lee Ozbirn, fed
Grafton president, said after
the session she was "thor-
oughly in accord with the
resolution" and that she felt
"the delegates behaved in a
very dignified way this
morning"

CRITICS VIEW
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
Associated Press TV-Radio Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. (AP).-
The National Association of
Broadcasters, the industry's
trade organization, reports that
in the year past it's monitors
noted a decline in TV violence
for the sake of violence" but
it is concerned by an upsurge
in improper portrayals of sex"
That may be true-about
violence-where new shows are
concerned, but nothing much
has changed in those old cow
boy and cop shows now travel
ing around the syndicate
routes, endlessly repeated. The
Western heroes are still alb
sorbing unmerciful beatings
before they finally get in the
last, Knockout punch. The
villains are still doubling up in
agony in the police-action tales
when hit front and center by
the good guys bullets.
Decline Noted
But over on the new network
shows, there has really been a
noticeable decline in these rou-
tine situations. It was a year
when the great home audience
saw fewer corpses and many,
sheet-shrouded forms. In
the old, old days we'd have
a glimpse of the victim; today
we see the sad-faced detective
discreetly take a peak under
the sheet and then glance sig
nificantly at his partner. One
can only imagine what a dread
full sight is mercifully con-
cealed.
1t was a year when an enor-
nous number of, villains of
darkest hue have been knocked
out of action by a non-fatal
bullet in the shoulder-almost
always the shoulder, for some
reason. Then, instead of meet
ing his just deserts right there
on camera, he is hauled away
in handouts to receive his just
deserts from a proper court
and jury.
Movie Blurps Watched
An even more popular wind
up has been the removal of the
bullet-winged malefactor to a
mental hospital. This has been
a TV year in which most of
the black hats have really been
sick, sick boys more in need of
a competent psychiatriSt than
their comeuppance.
AS far as improper treat
ment of sex has been concerned,
it has not been especially
noticeable in the network
shows. True, there have been

a number of ladies of easy

but this was more hinted than

a number of stories about

women and children, and most
of them were pretty unsavory.

Offered On
NewCaIendar

JERUSALEM (JTA)-An aSSur-
ance has been received from Vati-
can circles that the fixity of the
Jewish Sabbath as the seventh day
of the week would not be affected
by the projected calendar reform
which will be brought before the
Ecumenical Council.
Only the coordination of the
dates of the Catholic Easter and
the Greek Orthodox Easter will be
discussed by the council, it was
indicated.
The projected World Calendar
which is to be discussed by, the
Ecumenical Council at the Vatican
in October had originally envis-
aged a 13-month year, each month
with four weeks and with one
"world day" each year, which
would not have been reckoned as
an ordinary day of the week.
AS a result of the extra day,
the Jewish Sabbath, recurring
every seven days, would after one
year occur on a Friday, and in
subsequent years fall one day earli-

concerned with the effect that this
would have on the observance OF
the traditional seventh day as the
Jewish day of rest, set up a COM
mittee to combat any reform which
might tend to alter the fixity OF
the Sabbath.
A Jerusalemite, wi Wahl, an
authority on the Julian, Gregorian,
Moslem and Hebrew calendars,
submitted alternative proposals to
the Ecumenical Council and to the
United Nations. His proposals
would achieve a universal calendar
without affecting the fixity of the
Sabbath.
He provided the Vatican with a
detailed table for permanent
Easter which could be celebrated
universally by all the churches.
According to advice received by
the Israeli Committee to Combat
Calendar Reform, the Greek Ortho-
dox (Pravoslav) Chur III has
agreed to accept fixed date for
Easter in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the Ecumenlcal
Council.

Exodus Film
Seen Despite
Bombing

NICOSIA, Cyprus (JTA) = The
minister of the interior has de-
nounced the bombing of a theater
in which the film EXODUS" was
showing and said that mo acts of
lunacy" will be permitted to halt
showing of the film.
The blast occurred under the
back door of Cinema Diana Two,
where the film, which relates the
Jewish struggle to establish Is
rael, was showing. The theater
was shut down after the blast but
showing of the film continued at
other theaterS of the same COM
pany.
The explosion damaged the rear
door of the theater and left a
crater in the ground nearby.
Interior Minister Polykarpos Ge-
orkratzis said the blast was "un-
doubtedly a criminal action which
by no means will serve the inten-
tions of the culprits. The film is
approved by the competent censor
ship. 1t will be shown and no
acts of lunacy will stop its projec-
tion."
The blast climaxed a week-long
controversy over the first showing
of the film in Cyprus. Theater of
ficials said they had been threat
ened by gunner, who warned them
not to show the film. 1t opened on
schedule under police protection.
Arab diplomatic missions in Nj
COSTA, who had exerted consider
able pressure to prevent showing
of the film, issued a joint state
ment calling the film distortion
of the events leading to the estab-
lishment of Israel and making the
usual charges that Israelis had
"usurped" the "Arab homeland"
