MANY INQUIRIES

In response to many inquiries on why some "outside" hiring has been done by the State Highway Department, Wiley Scott, of the ESC Office, stated that the Dept. of Personnel found it necessary to recruit qualified people for cer- tain engineering jobs all over the state as the survey taken showed that there were no qualified people in the area for this work.
 All jobs for which applications had been made by local people for which they qualified have been filled locally, he said.

Court Rules
 Bible Reading
 Unconstitutional In State Schools

WASHINGTON R - The Su- preme Court ruled 8-1 today it is unconstitutional for state to re- quire Bible reading and recitation of the Lords Prayer in public schools.
 Holding that requirement of such 1 practices common in a pre- ponderant majority of the states violates the establishment of re- 1 ligion' clause of the constitution, the majority rejected an argument that the exercises are essentially moral teachings and not religious practices.
 Justice Clark, who wrote the courts main opinon on two cases coming from Maryland and Penn sylvania, declared:
 'Nor are these required exer- cises mitigated by the fact that in- dividual students may absent them selves upon parental request, for
 that fact furnishes no defense to
 a claim of unconstitutionality , Further" Clark said. "it is no defense to urge that the religious
 practices here may be relatively
 minor encroachmentS on the First c Amendment.
 "The breach of neutrality that is today a trickling stream may all ,, too soon become a raging torren, oe and in the words of Madison, it i. N proper to take alarm at the frs
 experiment on our liberties"
 He had declared that the frs
 amendment requires that the gov
 ernment be completely neutra
 where religion is concerned.
 Clark added that nothing tn
 court said today would bar stud, 'ss of the Bible or of religion ''whel I . presented effectively as part of ; - secular program of education" II But he reiterated that the school s exercises in the Maryland and
 Pennsylvania cases did not fall c into those educational categories Rather, he asserted, they are re-
 ligious exercises required by the states in violation of the com j mand of the First Amendment that the government maintain strict neutrality, neither aiding nor op- posing religion"

Doubt That Russ Boy-Cirl Flights
 Connect in Space

MOSCOW R - The male mem Der of Russia's mixed space duet lost altitude on his third day in orbit today. There was doubt he would hook up his spacecraft with that of his blonde companion.
 Reports from Western tracking stations said the orbital plane of It. Col. Valery Bykovsky's Vostok V space ship appeared to have changed-apparently as result of maneuver. One Western tracker said the decay of his orbit might force Bykovsky to land some time tonight.
 AS the worlds first space wom- an, Valentino Tereshkova, con- pleted her first "A hours in space with Bykovsky, an official an- nouncement reported for the first time that on their first joint orbit yesterday they came to within three miles of each other. This outdid the feat of the Soviet space
 
 miles apart on their flight.
 But the latest communique on the boy-girl space flight reported that the 28-year-old Bykovsky was dropping down. The communique said his minimal altitude dipped from an original 1124 miles to 1925. His maximum altitude drop ped from 146 miles to 125.5 miles
 There was no report of any change in the altitude or orbit o1 Valentino, who holds the rank ot junior lieutenant. Tass reported her minimum and maximum or. bits yesterday at 113 miles and IA miles.
 Entering their second day in joint flight, Miss Tereshkova ap- peared tired but still smiling in live television broadcasts from her Vostok VI space craft.
 Tass said the purpose of sending man and woman into space was to compare the effects of space flight on the two sexes.
 The Soviet Union reelected Miss Tereshkova, former factory worker, aloft Sunday, two days after Bykovsky blasted into space.
 Rumors circulated in jubilant Moscow that a third Soviet cosmo- naut might be sent up to join By kovsky and Miss Tereshkova, but there was no official indication of this.
 Word has been circulating for weeks, however, that the new So- viet space feat would have spec tacular trimmings.

18th CENTURY UNITED
STATES FANCY CANCEL
LATT0NS. By Herman
HerSt, j., and E. N. Samp-
son. (Herman Herst, r.,
Shrub Oak. N. Y; So
In the mid-lsth century,
when pOstmasters Of smaller
offices had to supply their
own cancelling devices, post
marks were usually rather
staid, but KILLERS" we're lin
tied only by the makers ina
gination. Collectors have long
treasured the birds, animals,
Masonic signs and patriotic
insignia to be found On COM
mon stamps Of the period.
The first limited edition of
this work was published in
France in 1917 by Michel Ear
eSh. Pat Herst, the we'll
known Shrub Oak dealer, had
it translated and published in
the United States in 1851. In
this third edition Mr.. Herst
has been assisted by e. N.
Sampson In revising and up
dating the book.
More than 1000 cancella-
tons are illustrated, but the
books coverage Is considera-
bly, broader than the title
would indicate. In addition to
the fancy killers there are
straight line and fancy town
marks, ship and way mark
ings, expresses, carriers,
United States mail In China
and Japan. and railroad
markings.
Prices are assigned by let
tiers ranging from A for below
81 to ] for over 500.
The illustrations, originally
prepared by Zaresh, are trac-
ings from covers which should
aid in the Identification Of any
postal markings from the per-
iod. The e ditors make no
claim to completion, but the
coverage is comprehensive
enough to provide a valuable
guide for anyone interested in

By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

President johnson has indi-
Gated to the Post Office De-
partment his wish that a
United States postage stamp
be issued in memory of Presi-
dent Kennedy.
The President has instruct
ed Postmaster General John
GronouSki to confer at an ap-
propriate time with Mrs. JAG
queline Kennedy and other
members of the Kennedy
family on the stamp design.
No effort will be made to
speed production of the stamp
at the expense Of quality of
design or printing. 1t will be
ready at the earliest in Janu-
airy, and might be held for an
appropriate date of issue as
late as President Kennedy'S
47th birthday next May %.
1t would be possible for the
Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing to produce a single
color stamp in as little as
four weeks. The 2-cent black
Harding memorial stamp of
1928 was issued Just 80 days
after President Harding's
death. But in this, as in all
other memorials to Mr.. Ken
nedy, dignity and appropriate
ness are being given great
weight.
Post Office Department pre-
partitions for a Kennedy
stamp began the afternoon of
his death. A half dozen design
suggestions were worked up
over the week end by artists
at the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing. Approval from
the President come last
Wednesday, with the stipula-
ton that choice of the design
was to be left to Mrs. Kenne-
dy.
Although memorial stamps
are usually black, that point
has not been decided. Four
stamps in commemorative
formal issued in tribute to
President Franklin D. RooSe-
welt shortly after his death in
1945 were printed in green,
carmine, purple and blue, the
colors used for the same de-
nominations in the regular
series. The Giori press is
available if the design chosen
by Mrs. Kennedy calls for
more than one color.
