Mcconnell Tells
OF Estes Moves
By DAVID S. BRODER
Star Staff Writer

An aide to former Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben
son today denied seeking any
favors for Billy Sol Estes while
serving as consultant to the
firm that financed many Of the
Pecos operators deals.
James A. Mcconnell, Assist
ant Secretary of Agriculture
for two years in the Eisenhower
administration, filed a state
ment read to the House Gov
eminent Operations Subcom-
mittee today. The subcommit-
tee is investigating Estes rela-
tons with Agriculture Depart
ment officials.
Name Mentioned at Board
Mr.. Mcconnell, who left the
Eisenhower administration in
1856 and joined the board OF
directors of Commercial Sol
vents Corp. six months later
said he never even heard the
name of Billy Sol Estes" while
he was in the Government.
The first time Estes name
came up was at a November
1858, meeting of the CONNER
cial Solvents board, when
routine approval was given tc
a line of credit for the Estes
operation.
At that time, Mr.. Mcconnell
said, II had made no persona

Twice thereafter, Mr.. Nc

vents and was very impressed
with what he found.
The first visit was in october
1859, Mr.. Mcconnell said, aftel

part time consultant to the
company.

ban on the establishment of
religion.
The courts decision reached
for the first time into actual
prayer in the public schools,
although the high court on
previous occasions has wended
a tortuous path of interpreting
the establishment clause of the
Constitution.
Stacked up behind this case
are one from Maryland in
which the Court of Appeals
there upheld reading the Bible
and reciting the Lords Prayer
in opening Baltimore schools
and a Pennsylvania case where
a 3-judge Federal court ruled
the same practices unconstitu-
tional.
Composed by Regents
At issue in this case are these
words composed by New York's
State Board Of Regents:
Almighty God, we acknowl-
edge our dependence upon
Thee. and we beg Thy blessings
upon us, our parents, our
teachers and our country"
The New York courts ruled
the prayer permissible as long
as parents understood their
children could remain silent or
be excused from the exercise.
Protesting parents carrying
the case to the Supreme Court
included two members of the
Jewish faith, one Unitarian,
one member of the Society for
Ethical Culture and one nom
believer.
Justice Black, writing the
courts opinion, said the court
believed that the constitutional
prohibition against laws re-
specting an establishment of
religion must at least mean
that in this country it is no
part of the business of Govern
ment to compose official pray
ers for any group of the Amer
lean people to recite as a part
of a religious program carried
on by Government"
Compulsory Angle
The court specifically re-
jected the argument that the =
prayer was not compulsory.
1t said the establishment
clause does not depend upon
any showing of direct govern
mental compulsion and is vio-
lated by the enactment of laws
which establish an official re-
ligion, whether those laws OPP
crate directly to coerce nom
observing individuals, or not.
Justice Black traced back
through history to show that
the First Amendment was
added to the Constitution to
guarantee that neither the
power nor the prestige Of the
Federal Government would be
used to control. support or in
fluence the kinds of prayer the
American people can say.
Government in this coun-
try" wrote Justice Black. "be
it State or Federal, is without
power to prescribe by law any
particular form Of prayer
which is to be used as an Of
fetal prayer in carrying on any
program of governmentally-
sponsored religious activity"
Justice Black rejected the
argument that prohibiting
prayer in the public schools
was to indicate hostility toward
religion or toward prayer.
Nothing, of course, could be
more wrong" Justice Black
wrote. 1.-THE history of man is
