DAVID LAWRENCE

The Supreme Court in its
latest decision does not bar
prayer as such in the public
schools. 1t doesn't forbid the
mention Of God in the class
room. 1t merely says that
no State government or any
other branch Of government
can direct" the saying of
any prayer. In fact, it bars
official" prayers. 1t sees no
objection to voluntary pray
ers, but does ban any reli-
giouS exercise"
The decision rendered by
the highest court of the land
on Monday is not as sweep
ing as first reports in the
press may have indicated. It
is true that Justice Douglas,
in his "concurring" opinion,
made some concentrations of
his own that will evoke con-
troverSy-especially in Con-
greSS, where legislation on
Federal aid to church-related
colleges is pending. The con-
trolling judgment is, however.
the ruling Of the Court by
a vote of 6 to /. It was set
forth in the opinion written
by Justice Black.
But even the formal opin-
ion Of the Court must be
separated into two partS-the
actual ruling and the So
called "dictum." The latter is
just an expression Of views
by one Justice and is not nee
esSarily agreed to by the
other Justices who concur on
the main point of the deci-
sion. Here is the ruling Of
the Court as pronounced by
Justice Black:
I'VE think that the consti-
tutional prohibition against
laws respecting an establish
ment Of religion must at
least mean that in this coun-'
try it is no part of the busi-
ness Of Government to COM
pose official prayers for any
group Of the american people
to recite as a part of a
religious program carried on
by Government"
Justice Black wrote a footG
note to the opinion in which
he makes an important dis
tinction as follows:
There is, Of course,
nothing in the decision
reached here that is inconsist-
ent with the fact that school
children and others are
officially encouraged to ex-
press love for our country by
reciting historical documents

BUENOS AIRES.-Argentina
today is consumed with a great
sickness.
The country is suffocated in
apathy. Complete public disre-
gard for all political and social
affairs has become a way of
life.
While crisis after crisis in
the feuding military is duti-
fully reported. the daily rou-
tine of the capital drifts on.
"How's the revolution 60
ing?" casually asks the man
behind the local cigar store
counter. By revolution" he
means the army tanks and in
fantry once again ominously
facing each other around the
rim of the city in support of
various generals claims to
power in the presidential cabi-
net.
In the center of the metrop-
oils this revolution seems a
continent away. Narrow streets
channel a flood of pedestrians
out to the movies which cluster
along the Broadway" of Buenos
Aires. Restaurants do a BOOM
ing business.

is simply piled high in cobble-
stone cutters. And everywhere
streets and paved sidewalks are
full of gaping holes of con-
struction begun but never COM
pleted. Constant electricity cuts
regularly black out whole areas
Of the city.
Even maintaining norm a ]
law and order has taken on
the tinge of jungle warfare.
The underpaid and under
stated police force more and
more prevents crime by shoot
ing first, asking questions aft
erwardS. The type of crime
makes little difference. So far

The paradox Of this acceler-
ating chaos is the sophiStica-
ton of Argentina. No people in
Latin America prides itself
more on sober worldliness.
Nmety-seven per cent of the
population is of European ex-
traction, and Argentina has the
highest literacy rate in Latin
America. Both in mood and ar

sciously apes the classical
manner of Paris.
At the heart of this paradox
is the unfinished revolution of
Juan Percn. He neither COM
pletely destroyed the old nor
completely built the new. If to-
day Argentines have no clear
sense of community it is at
least partly because communi-
ty no longer has any clear
definition in Argentina.
Under Gen. Peron's tutelage,
the Argentine working class
burst onto the political scene
for the first time in 1945. Here
was a new phenomenon, the
base for the totalitarian sys-
tenn which ran the country for
the next 10 years. The workers
were bribed and coddled with a
combination of nationalist Slo-
ganS and massive social well
fare programs.
But Gen. Peron was not a
revolutionary at heart. He was
a master manipulation. He and
his wife Evita organized and
ran the workers movement to
get their way with the I'M
titled aristocracy of landowners.
