Senators Urged
 Take Action on Satellite Measure
.WASHINGTON-fP fPl

WASHINGTON tR=- Senators backing the administrations Com munieations satellite bill argued to- day that unless opponents abandon their filibuster against it, the United States could lose the race for supremacy in space.
 Earlier during the Senate ses- sion, Sen. John McClellen said powerful unionist has demanded a payoff as the price for settlement of a strike now holding up work on II nuclear submarines.
 He made the charges in asking permission for his Senate investiga- tions subcommittee to start hear ings. Subcommittees have been barred from meeting during the current filibuster
 Sen Robert Kerr, chairman of the Senate Space Committee, said there is danger that the advance made by the achievements of Tel star could be frittered away by obstructionism and dilatory tao tics in the Senate.
 Sen. Warren Magnuson, chairman of the Commerce Committee. told the Senate that unless the United States arrives at a legislative policy on space communication, it will be left unprepared for the extra ordinary radio conference to be held by the International Teleeom- munlcations Union in the fall of 1863.
 Unless we pass a bill, we will have no standing in this meeting,' Magnuson said We are going to sit in this meeting out in left field ''
 Since last Thursday, critics of the legislation to create a private ly owned, government regulated corporation to launch and own communications satellites have en- gagged in filibuster tactics to keep the bill from even coming before the Senate.
 The filibusterers advocate gov ernment ownership of satellite communications systems.
 ment ownership of satellite com munications systems.
 Their leaders are Democrats who call themselves liberals. Noting this, Sen, Stuart Symington said that if the Senate doesn't act at this session, the failure might have serious political effects on the De- mocratic party in the fall elections
 Symington said Democrats would be blamed for lack of action on a vital issue
 Kerr said senators must not for get there is a race going on be- tween this country and the Soviet Union for supremacy in space and that the United States must not lose the advantage it obtained by putting the Telstar into orbit.

why the current issue did not contain the picture of

Courts decision
needs ANALYSIS

The u. S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the
so-called New York Regents Prayer may not be said
In unsupported schools.
THE DECISION, which says that the 22-word
prayer is wholly inconsistent with the first amend
ment to the Constitution" is unnerying.
At face value it appears to be a denial Of our
spiritual heritage, Certainly it will have far-reaching
consequences.
It is rash, however, to speak out on the action
until the full text of the decision is made available
until the full intent of the Court is clarified according
to the special point of law under consideration.
AS CONSTITUTIONAL lawyers have pointed out
in the past, it often takes years before all the impli-
cations of a Court ruling are realized-before the va
rious precedents are established.
And since at press time we have not yet seen
the text of the decision we will reserve judgment.
The important question =. as yet unresolved
about the decision is:
Did the court rule against y the act of the NY.
Board of Regents In prescribing the prayer, or q the
act of praying in the classroom?
If number one proves to be the case and the
majority opinion written by Associate Justice Hugo L.
Black seems to indicate that it is then the Court
was well within its jurisdiction of interpreting the law.
THE CRUX of Justice Blacks statement reported
ly was that the prayer was ruled unconstitutional be-
cause ut is no part of the business of government to
compose official prayers for any group of the Ameri-
can people to recite as part of a religious program
carried on by the government"
What Justice Black apparently is saying is that
the Board of Regents exceeded its authority by estab-
fishing the prayer.
Certainly this is a far cry from denying the place
of prayer in the classroom.
Should, however, number two prove true and
classroom prayer is prohibited then the judgment
of the court is certainly open to question.
THE REGENTS Prayer is simply a recognition of
mans fundamental dependence upon God, regardless
of religious faith or denominational belief.
1t is not a question of separation of church and
state as it does not support a particular religion or
establish a national church.
Involved rather is the much more basic relation
shin hptMppn m and the Surname poinn
If the Court has prohibited this simple homage
to our Creator, then ii has acted contrary to our tradi-
ion as a God-fearing people and to its own ruling that
we are a Christian nation"
1t might also by implication have forbidden
prayer al any public function, including the traditional
prayer al the opening session of the Court.

editors horning in on a matter not of their concern.
He further reminded me that suspicion of the laity"
will continue as long as editors waste their time on
the Lay ApoStolate, instead of reporting Parish acti-
vitieS. He finally wanted to know why his wife's name
was left out of an item We published concerning the
Altar Society breakfast. On being informed that the
publicity chairman had not included her name, he
demanded to know why | hadn't checked with his wife,

THEN THERE was the lady who said she was get
ting two copies of the paper. She wanted to know
whether this was a bargain rate similar to that going
on, at the local Food Mart where two cans of soup were
being offered for the price of one.
The morning was still young when the curate from
a local parish came in with a bunch of snapshots. There
were two special ones he wanted printed: one showed
himself and the pastor erecting the picnic tents: and
the other, members Of the Mems Club sampllng the
beer. Was he serious? Who knows?
After this, the phone rang and the Superior of a
local convent phoned to tell me that the Mother Gen
eral wa arriving within the hour. She would stay for
lunch and then leave for Los Angeles. In the mean
time, could we send out a reporter and a photographer
