Throuehout the Washington,
area. school authorities in sys-
TENS without formal requires

pondered what course to follow
on procedures left to the dis
erection Of school staffs.
Await Board Action
In the District. only the
formality Of action by the
board Of education remained
for removal Of the rule whose
antecedents date far back into
the 10th century. Board Presi-
dent Wesley s. williams and
DR.. Hansen both said they an

ton. We have an unenforce-
able rule here" Or. Hansen
said. He issued the new ban
after informal consultation
with the Corporation Counsel's
office.
One observer there said that
as Q result Of the court ruling,
not only was the board rule
"out the window" but infor-
NAL practices would probably
be suspect.
II Bible reading and the
Lords Prayer were used sur
reptitiously to accomplish .
devotional purpose, that would
be violative," this legal source
said.
There were mixed and eau
tious reactions from officials
in six nearby school jurisdie-
tons, some Of which have
guidelines but no school board
or administration requirements
for opening exercises. The form
and content Of opening exer-
cises are left up to school fac
ulties and sometimes individual
classroom teachers.
James @. Stockard, head Of
the Arlington County school
board. said that in the light
Of the decision he would object
to prayer or Bible reading
where . teacher Is imposing
a requirement that the class
recite something"
But he said that where pupils
decided on the issue "hy demo-
cratic process, and the major
ity feel that they would like
to do something, I would see
nothing wrong with that. I
would be willing 10 be the de-
PENDANT in that"
Mr.. Stockard said he doubted
the informal Arlington prac-
tices would come UP for debate
In the board unless a citizen or
student objects on grounds Of
separation Of church and

board would investigate. with

EXCERPTS FROM OPINION ...ss,~
Court Restricts Public School Prayers

Here are excerpts from the
tert Of the majority opinion
tCvitteR BY Justice CLARK, In
the Supreme Courts decision
on school prayers:
Once again we are called
upon TO consider the scope Of
the provision Of the First
Amendment which declares
that Congress shall make nc
law respecting an establish.
ment Of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof. =. :
These companion cases pre-
sent the issues In the context
Of State action requiring that
schools begin each day with
readings from the Bible. :.
In light Of the history Of the
first amendment and Of our
cases interpreting and applying
its requirements, we hold that
the practices at issue and the
laws requiring them are un.
constitutional under the estab,
lishment clause. as applied tc
the States through the i4th
Amendment.
It n true that religion has
been closely identified with
our history and Govern
ment. The fact that the
Founding Fathers believed de-
votedly that there was O God
and that the unalienable
rights Of man were rooted in
him 10 clearly evidenced in
their writings. from the May
flower Compact to the consti-
tuition itself.
Evidence in Public Life
This background Ia evidenced
today In our public life through
the continuance In our oaths Of
office from the presidency to
the alderman Of the final sup
plication, $50 help me Cod"
Likewise each House Of the
Congress provides through its
chaplain an opening prayer,
and the sessions Of this court
are declared open by the crier
In . short ceremony, the final
phrase Of which invokes the
grace Of God.
Again, there are such mani
festations In our military forces,
where those Of our citizens who
are under the restrictions Of
military service wish 10 engage
In voluntary worship. Indeed,
only last year an official survey
Of the country indicated that 81
per cent Of our people have
church membership. while
less than ) per cent profess no
religion whatever g.
This Is not to say, however,
that religion has been 50 identi-
fled with our history and gov
eminent that religious free
dom is not likewise as strongly
imbedded In our public and
private life -.
Diversity Of Opinion
This freedom to worship was
indispensable in q country
whose people came from the
four quarters Of the earth and
brought with them q diversity
of religious opinion. Today au-
thorities list 50 separate religi-
Gus bodies, each with member
ships exceeding $4,000, exist.
ing among our people, as well
as innumerable smaller groups.
-. This court has decisively
settled that the First Amend.

Agents Of State

The teachers, as government
employees operating In govern
ment-owned facilities on gov
eminent time, probably could
be considered as agents OF the
State. Thus. they probably
would be bound by the same
standards.
One major area was covered
by the court In yesterdays
opinion. Justice Clark made II
clear that the First Amend
ment does not bar study Of the
Bible or religion as part OF va
rious secular subjects.
1T might well be said that
ones education Is not complete

court In the future for decision.

The Supreme Courts actor
barring required devotional use
OF the Bible and Lords Prayer
In public schools does not in.
dicate hostility toward reliRion
but rather that Government
must remain strictly neutral In
religious matters.
Justice Clark. who delivered
the 81 majority opinion yes
terday, took pains TO limit the
decision 10 the barring Of or.
ganized devotional exercises.
The place OF religion In our
society is an exalted one
achieved through q long tradi.
ton OF reliance on the home

and mind" he said.
He emphasized that religion
has been closely identified with

What's Happening to Wood?

ter.
Boards can be made about
as long or as wide as desired,
for instance, regardless Of the
size of the log from which
they are cut. They can be
made so strong It's almost
impossible to break them. And
they can be rendered decay
proof, termite-proof and vir-
tually fire-proof.
These and other advances
have been developed in two
main areas of technology -
glued-wood products and
presSure-treated lumber.
DR.. John L. Hill, manager
of the wood technology de-
partment of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Asso-
citation, cites several research
projects which show what's
happening in the lumber in
dustry.
The glued-wood process has
produced floors which COM
bine both the subflooring and
the finish flooring as one
sandwiched unit. This allows
Evening star., 1963-02-09

floors to be laid under dry
conditions, after the walls
and roof are In place.
The process also permits
the lumber to be strengthened
almost beyond the point Of
breaking. And finger jointing
allows boards to be manu-
factured in lengths and
widths almost without limit.
Pressure treatment plants.
such as the one recently in
stalled by the Devlin Lum-
Der g. Supply Corp. In Rock
vile. can provide lumber
which resists decay and ter
mites for more than rs years.
A similar process makes the
wood flame resistant.
This is done by removing
all the liquids from the wood
in a high-pressured vacuum
tank and then refilling the
woods pores with chemical
solutions by force. Both
treatments are odorless and
have proved popular In home
construction, says Jon Eng
land, vice president of the
Devlin firm.
Evening star., 1963-02-09

DR.. Hill says studies are
being made. too, to increase
the durability Of finishes on
wood, to increase the tight
ness Of houses to minimize
vibrations and to reduce con-
struction cost by improving
the designs Of frame houses.
Another program Of the
lumber association is to
standardize and simplify
grade names and require
ments Of lumber. Methods of
establishing stress values for
structural lumber differ in
various regions Of the coun-
try. Uniform grading would
cut down on confusion in
buying lumber.
And a project called uni
com" would develop uniform
dimension and standards for
house construction. With
doors, windows, walls and
other parts Of house de-
signed to specific sets Of sizes,
such items could be manu-
factured, assembled and
stocked by suppliers at re-
duced cost.

Personal Income Reaches Record High in 1862

Personal income, the most com prehensive measure of economic activity on geographic basis, was at a record dollar volume for Alaska in 1862. It totalled 656 mil- lion dollars, per cent increase over 1961's total of $628 million. The year 1862 saw all states reach ing record highs.
 Alaska's per capita income in creased very little, moving from S2,661 in 1861 to S2,667 in 1862. The small per capita increase de- spite the substantial rise in total personal income indicates popu- lation growth approximately the same rate as that for personal in- come Total personal income for the nation increased per cent and the capita level rose 4 per cent from $2,267 to $2,366.
 Nine states and the District of Columbia had higher per capita income tha did Alaska last year. Their 1862 rankings, respectively, were: Nevada, S3,278; District of Columbia, S3,219; Delaware, S3,- 102; Connecticut, $3,089; New York, $2,93O; California, $2,898; New Jersey, $2,887; Illinois, $2,844; Massachusetts, $2,769; and Mary land, $2,683.

Plane Wreckase Identified; No Bodies Found

ANCHORAGE JAP - Wreckage sighted by an Anchorage hunter in the Alaska Range west of Skwentna was identified late Mon day as that of the twin-engined plane which carried seven US. Weather Bureau officials to their deaths in 1860.
 Two State Troopers, part of a team of investigators who ex- amined the debris, said no human remains were found.
 Parts of the wreckage were scat tered over a wide area of the rug ged mountain valley.
 The investigators were led to the site of the wreckage by How ard Fowler, a Northern Consoli- dated Airlines employe who sight ed the torn craft Saturday while on hunting trip.
 The party found one wing at the 1,200foot altitude The wing car ried the planes Identification num- Der, N122G.
 Troopers said the main portion of the plane was found 400 feet down the mountain from the wing section. Parts were scattered over a 300-yard area.
 Also found was a partly de- stroyed brief case bearing the in- itials GFB. It was identified as the property of George Brewster of Washington, DC. At the time of his disappearance, Brewster was chief pilot of the Weather Bureau.
 The only other found for identi- fication purposes was key chain, with a holder having the initials C. B. This reportedly belonged to Charles Belcher, one of the five Anchorage men lost on the flight.
 Others aboard the plane, which failed to report at Untilla after making a radio check at Skwentna, were w. B. Lindley, Harold c. Carle, James w. BilD Grant and | Thomas O. McDonald, all of An chorage, and Walter Brandstetter | Everett, Wn.
 The plane was reported missing on July 25, 1860, while on a flight from Anchorage to Nome and Kot- zebue The officials were to in- spect Weather Bureau facilities at the two Bering Sea towns.

Egan Says Alaska Is Being Shortchanged In Its Military Defenses

SEATTLE R Alaska Gov. Vim. Egan took issue with the De- partment of Defense Tuesday and said his state is being shortchanged in it's military defenses.
 Egan, addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Convention, said he feels Alaska is relatively un- protected despite Defense Dept. claims to the contrary.
 "The Air Force has sent use a few F-106's and the Navy has familiarized a few units of it's fleet with Alaskan waters" Egan said.
 The governor said the planes are too few and added, q have not been advised that the Navy ships are to be permanently assigned to Alaska"
 The closing of some two dozen Early Warning Radar Stations has further crippled Alaskan defenses.
 Egan said he is strongly sup porting the nuclear-test-ban treaty but hoped the Senate will accom- pany it's adoption with strong military buildup, particularly in Alaska.
