Warning Is Offered
This leads to the second point
- the warning to would-be
entrants into the reducing in
dustry, already estimated at
running close to 81 billion a
year.
The bankruptcy rate is ris-
ing. because the hopefuls do
not have enough cash to carry
them through the initial trial
periods, they don't realize how
much the services cost, they
can't hold the skilled workers
essential to the success of this

Incidentally, the profession

The Supreme Court has re-
ceSsed until fall after a term
marked by illness, retirement
and at least two of the most
historic decisions in many
years.
One of the landmark decisions
came out of the first case
argued during the term-the
fight Of city voters for fair
representation in State legis-
latures along with their country
cousins.
: The second Of the pair was
handed down as the term ended
yesterday-praye in the public
schools.
In the months between, and
particularly in the flock of de-
cisions on the last day, the
court issued major rulings
curbing business practices
especially in the antitrust
field, clarifying labor's right to
strike and emphasizing civil
rights.
In volume, the court &C.
eomplished less than it did last
term because of the handicaps
Of Justice Whittaker's re-
thement on April / and Justice
Frankfurter's illness which has
kept him hospitalized since he
was stricken on April 5. Most
Of the cases had been argued
BY the time Justice White went
on the bench April IA and he
could participate in relatively
few of the decisions.
A total of 1877 cases was
argued this term, compared
with 148 last term. The court
disposed of 100 cases by signed
opinions, compared with 125
cases last term. 1t handed down
unsigned opinions in 81 cases,
compared with % cases last
term.
The difficulties faced by what
was temporarily a seven-man
court, however, came most into
focus in the courts decision
to put off 16 argued cases until
fall for reargument.

High Court Concludes Term Of Historic Rulings

That was the fate of some
of the major cases, including
the long Arizona-C California dis
pute over rights to the waters
Of the Colorado River; enforced
eXpatriation of natiVe-born
citizens who stay out Of the
country to avoid the draft;
NAACP cases in Virginia and
Florida.
Also, the constitutionality of
a congressional ban on price
wars to eliminate competition;
the conviction of William Pres
ser, Ohio Transfers chief, on
a charge of obstructing justice
by mutilating or concealing
records sought by the Senate
Rackets Committee, and several
criminal cases claiming viola
tons of constitutional rights.
The only case put off for
reargument last term was the
vital question of Tennessee re-
apportionment and it thus
headed the list of cases when
the new term began. On March
rs, the Supreme Court ruled
by a 60 vote that voters may
go into Federal court to chal-
lenge the constitutionality of
the makeup of State legisla-
lures.
The high court did not hold
the Tennessee apportionment
unconstitutional. Instead, it de-
cided the jurisdictional question
and sent the case back to a
three-judge District Court
which had ruled earlier that
the makeup of State legisla-
lures was not subject to Fed
eral court review.
In sending the case back to
be considered on its merits,
the high court expressed con-
fidence that the District Court
will be able to fashion relief
IL violations of constitutional
rights are found"
Obviously recognizing that
the decision would spur similar
suits to test the uneven division
of State legislatures between
city and rural voters, Justice
Harlan called the decision the

In 1854 Congress added two
words-''under God"-to the
pledge Of Allegiance to the
Flag" and the official pledge
now reads: II pledge allegiance
to the flag Of the United States
of America and the Republic

under God, indivisible, with

A glance at a penny, a

the words: 90 and this be

most important one handed
down by the court since he had
been on the high court bench.
The court followed up the
decision in succeeding months
by sending back apportionment
cases from Michigan and New
York to be reconsidered in the
light of the Tennessee decision.
The decision on the con-
troversial question of prayer in
the public schools topped close
to a score of rulings handed
down on the last day of the
term.
Its Importance lay not only
in the fact that it raised a
question mark concerning all
types of school religious exer-
cises but also because it was
the first time the court had
spoken on the issue.
The earlier high court ex-
aminations of issue involving
the separation of church and
State in school matters had
dealt with the expenses of bus
transportation to parochial as
we'll as public schools; periods
of religious instruction on pub
lie school premises and the re-
lease of children from school
for religious instruction off
school premises.
Still ahead for the court Is
the thorny question of deciding
whether reciting the Lords
Prayer or reading from the
Bible in the schoolroom is like
wise a violation of the First
Amendments prohibition on es-
tablishment of religion.
Two cases on which the court
will be asked to rule in the fall
answer the question in diamet-
ically opposed fashion. A
three-judge Federal court in
Pennsylvania has called such
religious exercises in the schools
unconstitutional. The Maryland
Court Of Appeals has ruled that
reading from the Bible and re-
citing the Lords Prayer is con-

Government employees will
not miss any paychecks as a
result Of the tieup Of fiscal
1868 money bills.
This is the good word from
the House and Senate Appro-
priations Committees, which
plan to rush through a con-
tinuing resolution later this
week to assure regular paydays
for Federal workers in the
new fiscal year starting July /.
There had been some appre-
hension that payless paydays
might result from the pfeud
between the two committees
over where the House-Senate
conference meetings should
take place to adjust differences
in appropriation bills.
This has led to a stalemate
on the second supplemental
money bill. Secret Service
agents face payless paydays
this month and State Depart
ment q few other agency en-
ployes face the prospect of no
paychecks this week. This
involves funds for the fiscal
1862 year, ending this week.
However, the continuing res
olution to assure regular pay
days for fiscal 1868 presents
no such problems. The con-
tinuing resolution is always
identical as approved by House
and Senate. Thus there is NO
controversy regarding the con-
ference meeting place because
there won't have to be a con-
ference.
Consequently, House anc
Senate leaders say there will
be no delay in enacting the
continuing resolution.
It is expected that the resolu.
ton will allow agencies to spenc
money in July and August
and September if necessary
on the basis of their current
expenditures" This will give
agencies a little more leeway
than if they were allowed tc
spend only one-twelfth of theil
1862 funds each month aftel
July ! until 1868 fiscal appro.
priations are enacted into law

more money the latter part O.

Two Other Victories

Two Other Victories
The Government yesterday
won two other important anti
trust cases which it had carried
to the high court.
In one Of them, the court re-
versed q District court decision
which had thrown out civil
antitrust cases against the two
largest diaries in the Chicago
area. The Government had &C.
cused the diaries of illegal price
discrimination in favor of
chain stores over independents.
In the other antitrust case
won by the Government, the
court ruled that corporate Of
ficers can be indicted as in
dividuals under the Sherman
Antitrust Act when they have
been acting for the corporation.
The issue was important to
the Government because the
Sherman Act carries q $4,000
maximum penalty and the
Clayton Act carries a $4,000
maximum.
Labor-or some Of it-fared
better than business at the
hands of the court. In a split
decision Of major Importance,
the court ruled that the Taft
Hartley Act did not repeal the
prohibition Of the earlier Nor
ris-La Guardia Act against Fed
eral court injunctions to halt
strikes and peaceful picketing.
The courts ruling applied in
two cases-one decided yester-
day where the company had a
no-strike clause in its contract.
On another labor front, the
Transfers lost two efforts dur
ing the term to challenge the
constitutionality of the re-
porting provisions of the 1859
Labor = Management Reporting
and Disclosure Act.
First q local and, yesterday,
