Mr.. GOMEZ: MI. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Gomez.

Mr.. GOMEZ: / would like to ask through you if
we have mad any as to the rurnor around
town about Governor PaleWonsky bringing IN a Surgeon.
nave you any news to that effect that you would like
Ito mpart to us? Someone told me that ne (the surgeon)
was around the hospital yesterday and understand that
The has a position down there. Mr.. Chairman, | would
go a bit further. There is also a rl1rnOr around town lit
was a rumor up to yesterday but today with our con-
ference with Dr. Melvin Evans it scenes to me that
there is a lot of truth not as to the bringing in OF a Sur
geon but the resignation of DR.. Anduze. Mr.. Chairman,
if SO is the case it would seem to me that this body mas
made a grave mistake! Mr.. Chairman, DR.. Anduze has
given many years of faithful service to this MunIclpai1-
ty and even though all Of that comment has been going
around town, this Body has stood mute.
The Administration has stood mute and even the
Medical Association Mr.. Chairman. You will note that
| reler TO noGl1ng else but the supposed elecJrocut1on of
a man out at Yacht Heaven. MI. Chairman, as Tar as
know, 1t a man is electrocuted, particularly IN water,
it would be practlcally Impossible Tor those VINO are go
ing to his rescue to pull HIM without some attention De-
ing given to the high tension wire. Mr.. Chairman it
seems so strange to me that this gentleman VINO was
called to Yacnt haven to render assistance to this man,
and as read in the newspapers Il don't know how true
lIt Isl they said that he was dead when he was pulled
from the water. Then for what reason did this DOCTOR,
a doctor not licenced to practice in this Municipality, go
and make this crude incision on this man for the pur-
pose OF massaglng his heart. Now massaging the heart
is not an unusual thing, but what is unusual Is TINS: that
we have a law here that you must be a resident ply
stefan in this Municipality before you can attempt any
medical or surgical act. This man, Mr.. Chairman, came
froml where he come from, may be perfectly competent,
but | say he acted against the law, the newspaper and
so on raised cain; naturally it got before the Attorney
General and he is who took certain action. If this man
was already dead then why would it be necessary for
this man who is not permitted to practice in the Mu-
,~nicipality go and make this crude lncislon in the man.
who knows that man might have been still alive and
through that crude incision caused the man his life.
Mr.. Chairman, allthese things have to be unraveled.
But no, we start to write a lot of nonsense all over the
town which even get into foreign newspapers. Mr..
Chairman, l don't think it is right. / believe it calls
for some publication by the Government or the Medical
Association unfolding the law of the land. That man,
wnuever ne Is mr. CHAIRMAN, knows fully well that he
could not ATTEMPT ouch a thing in any other state of
he Union except his own state.

2 Cases May Clarity
School Prayer Ruling

ton of the Lords Prayer, or
both, are required in public
schools under a 1905 Board of
Education rule.
The regulation was amended
in 1860 to provide that any
child should be excused from
joining in or attending the ex-
erciseS upon the request Of his
parent or guardian.
William j. Murray III, who
will enter the eleventh grade
this fall. and his mother, Mrs.
Madlyn E. Murray, who have
challenged the practice, iden-
tify themselves as atheists.
They maintain that the al
legged religious discrimination in
classroom reading of the Bible,
and particularly in excusing
children during this, Is as Sc
we're as racial discrimination.
The majority opinion Of the
Appellate Court said neither
the First nor the Fourteenth
Amendment was intended to
Stifle all rapport between reli-
.gion and government"
The courts minority opinion
described use Of the Bible and
Lords Prayer as Christian re-
ligious exercises that favored
one religion against others and
against non-believers.
In a brief asking the Supreme
Court not to accept the case,
the Board Of Education said
the high court, in its New York
decision, did not rule out Bible
and Lords Prayer use.
Practice In All Counties
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan, in a brief filed as a
friend Of the court, said the
practices under challenge,
while required only in Balti-
more, are followed in all Mary
land counties.
In the Pennsylvania case, a
three Judge Federal court
ruled that Bible reading and
mass recitation of the Lords
Prayer are unconstitutional.
A Pennsylvania law requires
reading, without comment, at
the start of each school day Of
at least 10 Bible verses. The
custom is to follow this with
the Lords Prayer.
The three-judge court first
struck down the law in 1859.
While the case was pending in
the Supreme Court, the Cen
eral Assembly passed a law
providing for pupil excuses.
Again Held Unconstitutional
The Supreme Court sent the
case back to Pennsylvania for
further proceedings in the
light of the General Assem-
bly's action. The three-judge
court again ruled the law I'M
constitutional.
Plaintiffs in the Pennsylvania
case are the parents of Ellory,
Roger and Donna Schempp, all
of whom were students in the
public schools of Abingdon
Township.
The Schempps, who are Uni
tarians, objected to the Bible
reading as an establishment Of
religion and as an interference
with the free exercise of religion.

Some Of the big questions
raised by the Supreme Courts
school prayer decision last
spring may be answered by the
court at its next term.
Pending before the high
court are Maryland and Penn
sylvania cases involving use in
public schools of both the
Lords Prayer and readings
from the Bible.
Courts in the two States
have split. In Maryland, these
religious practices were ruled
constitutional. Judges in Penn
sylvania, however. said the OPP
posite.
The Supreme Court, If it
takes the cases. will have a
chance to spell out how far it
means to go in barring religi-
GUS activities in public schools.
In its decision last spring,
the high court struck down New
York's 22-word non-denomina-
tional prayer, which was said
aloud by classes at the start
of the day.
Many Questions Raised
The decision appeared to
have raised as many questions
as it answered. Critics blasted
it as a wholesale assault on the
religious heritage of the coun-
try. Others defended it as
much narrower in scope.
The prayer involved was
composed by State officials.
Justice Black, who wrote the
courts opinion, emphasized that
the prayer was Officially" pre-
scribed. And he said the Con-
stitution must at least mean"
that "it is no business Of gov
eminent" to compose official
prayers for use in government
run religious programs.
That the New York prayer
may have been denomination
ally neutral and student par
ticipation voluntary did not
free it from constitutional lin
itationS, he said.
School Officials Perplexed
The courts ruling left school
officials here and elsewhere
perplexed because it did not
deal with other religious prac-
ticeS, such as Bible readings
and the Lords Prayer.
In the District, where a rule
requires "a reading from the
Bible, without note or COM
ment, and the Lords Prayer"
the Corporation Counsel was
asked for an opinion.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said last week that the Corpo-
ration CounSel's office still has
the matter under study. He said
that no change has been made
in the Districts rule.
Meanwhile. a Senate Com
mittee has been holding hear
ingS and has heard proposals
for constitutional amendments
to nulify the courts ruling.
In the Maryland case await
ing Supreme Court action, the
Maryland Court Of Appeals
ruled. 4 to 3, that Bible read
ing and recitation Of the Lords
Prayer were permissible.
The case arose in Baltimore,
where Bible reading or recita-
