School Prayer Hearings Are Opened Today WASHINGTON (UPI) — The congressional leader of a campaign to amend the Constitution to permit prayer and Bible reading in public schools said today Americans overwhelmingly supported “this sacred project.” Rep. Frank J. Becker, R-N.Y., was the first witness as the House Judiciary Committee opened hearings on the emotioncharged school prayer issue. In prepared testimony he attacked opponents of worship in public institutions as “cynics” and “atheists,” and left an implied warning that Congress would be snowed under by citizen protests if it did not act. Becker is the sponsor of a proposed constitutional amendment that would override Supreme Court rulings that religious exercises as part of a public school program violate the First Amendment of the constitution. About 60 other members of Congress, also sponsors of similar legislation, were scheduled to give supporting testimony before the committee this week. In the following three weeks the committee will hear testimony on both sides of the issue from some 80 church leaders, legal experts and other public witnesses. Chairman Emanuel Celler, DN.Y., of the judiciary committee, who has made no secret of his reluctance to consider the proposals, opened the hearings with no comment on his own position. Cellar said only that the many different forms taken by the., prayer amendments and the number submitted “attest to the widespread interest and the many schools of thought on this important subject.” He told the witnesses that the committee’s 35 members “represent all parts of our beloved country and partake of many faiths, but share a common of objective analysis and a common devotion to a Supreme Being.” Jobless Pay Claims Decrease In State INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — Good weather and a resulting increase in outdoor work last week brought a decrease in Indiana unemployment insurance claims. Director Lewis F. Nicolini of the Indiana Employment Security Division said Tuesday that claims for the week totaled 34,431, a drop of 5,729 from the previous week. He said activity at limestone quarries, stone mills and construction projects helped the decrease and some manufacturing firms recalled previously laid-off workers. 7ZZ Trade io a good town — Decatur

Name-Calling In Goldwater, Stassen Camps INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Republican presidential primary campaign between Sen. Barry M. Goldwater, R-Ariz„ and former Minnesota Gov. Harold Stassen reached the name-calling stage Tuesday. Stassen accused Goldwater of taking sides in the Hoosier gubernatorial race and a top Goldwater backer suggested that Stassen entered the May 5 Indiana primary “for the purpose of cutting up Senator Goldwater and none other.” The dispute was touched off when Stassen told a news conference here, “I wish to make it clear that I do not and will not interfere in the choice by the Republicans of Indiana between their many able candidates for governor and senator.” Questioned about the statement, he said it was “evident to Republican leaders that a factional approach” was being made by Goldwater. He linked Goldwater with former Sen. William Jenner, R-Ind., who he said was “in the middle” of the gubernatorial race and “it is evident which candidate he is backing.” Jenner has been a supporter of State Treasurer Robert Hughes for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. Hughes is one of seven candidates for the nomination at the June state party convention. Stassen’s charges brought a quick denial from Leslie Duvall, director of Goldwater’s Indiana campaign. Duvall went on to charge that Stassen was’ “filling an assignment” when he entered the Hoosier primary against Goldwater. He said it appeared possible that Goldwater’s opponents for the GOP presidential nomination were taking turns running against him in various state primaries. “This is speculation and I wouldn’t attempt to state it as anything else,” Duvall said.

“but even juries have to look at circumstantial evidence.” He offered as such “circomstantial evidence” the campaigns waged on behalf of Henry Cabot Lodge in New Hampshire, Sen. Marga re t Chase Smith, R-Maine, in Illinois and Stassen in Indiana. ' Stassen, campaigning vi|oroustly for Indiana's first ballot votes at the GOP national convention took his vote drive into northeastern Indiana today tor a news conference at Fort Wayne. Much of his campaigning in the state is being done in the form of such conferences. At his news conference here Tuesday, Stassen again accused Goldwater of being “too devoted to militarism. He is too ready to drop atomic bombs. He is too anxious to widen the war in Viet Nam. He is too quick to fire from the hip on matters of grave policy which affect the prospects of war and peace.'” Stassen will hold a news conference Friday morning at Evansville and then will speak that afternoon to students at Vincennes University. He will be in French Lick over the weekend for the meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association.
