S. Supreme Court decisions against prayers in the schools will be permitted to stand without change. There is a tremendous groundswell of grass roots opin ion against the court rulings and the increasing tide of secularism which these rulings have spawned, and there are a num ber of receptive ears on Capitol Hill. SINCE THE COURT decisions against prayers in 1962 and 196S, the small minority which would take God out of our na tional life has stepped op the campaign to secularize America. Under attack now are the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Mot to. the National Anthem, the use of chaplains in the armed services, and eve> the tax-ex empt status of churches and re ligions organizations. Already ruled out in some places are the singing of “Amerie*” because of its reference to God in the fourth stanza, the tinging of Chriatmaa carols and the display of Christmas trees in som* Near England classrooms, and the recitation of this simple grace by school children: “God is great. # God Is good. Let us thank Rim for our food.” ■ THESE MOVES to make our nation “neutral toward God,” as decreed by the Supreme Court, are already being blunted in part by the grass roots reaction against turning America into a godless nation. Letters, tele grams, and petitions have been pouring Into Washington from all area* of the countr request ing that the Congress act to stop the secularist drive and reverse the court decisions THE MOST effective action the Congress can take to stop the secularist successes is to ap prove and submit to the States a proposed amendment to the Con stitution However, this is a dif ficult course to pursue because to legally amend the Constitu tion requires an aformative vote in both houses of the Congress by a % majority and then rati fication by \ of the State*. Such action ia necessary however, in view of the present attitude of the court, which even vetoes the idea of placing the National Motto, “In God We I'rust.” in the court chambei as is dis played in each house of th Con gress. Unfortunately the pres ent court presents to the secu larists and socialists th* easy way to “amend” the Constitu tion. This is the same device which the NAACP employed af ter Justice Felix Frankfurter suggested that instead of trying to go through ♦he Congress or the people that the NAACP law yers execute an end run around the constitutional processes and win their way through a court interpretation of the Constitu tion. PENDING in both the Senate and House Judiciary Committees are many resolutions proposing amendments to the Constitation to reverse the court decisions against prayers. In essence, these proposed amendments provide that non-sectarian prayers In schools, where those not desir ing to pray are excused from do ing so, do lot constitute an at tempt to establish religion in violation of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. Some of these resolutions also state that “nothing in thii^ Constitution shall bt deemed to prohibit mak ing reference to belief in, reli ance upon, or invoking the aid of God or a Supreme Being in any governmental or public docu ment, proceeding, activity, cere mony. school, institution, or place, or upon coinage, currency, or obligation of the United States.’’ RECENTLY I had an oppor tunity to participate in launch ing a nation-wide movement to marshal and mold public senti ment for winning approval of such a proposed amendment to the Constitution Tnc name of the movement is Project Prayer with headquarters at 1717 North Vine Street. Hollywood 28. Cali fornia Serving on the board of directors of this organization are a number ol prominent Americans including these movie personalities: Walter Brennan, John Wayne. Ronald Reagan, Roy and Dale Rogers, a. Rhon da Fleming. A disabled war hero Sam Cavnar. is executive direc tor of Project Prayer. A RECENT Gallop Poll showed that more than 70% of Ameri cana questioned endorsed the Idea of prayers in out schools. If this is correct- -and if any thing it i probably a low figure --there is sufficient public opin ion to get the Congress, tc act to stop this drive to make our na tion neutral toward God. This opinion, however, must be crys tallized and expressed to the Congress with a* overwhelming show of strei&ti. if Project Prayer is going to be suecesirul in the Congress this year.
