Dirksen Promises Prayer showdown over school prayer amendment
Senator Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois, Republican leader, vows a battle to push a constitutional amendment overturning the 1962 Supreme Court ruling on prayer in public schools. He would allow voluntary student prayer but ban formal board prescriptions or compulsory prayers. Forty seven senators back the measure. Dirksen says the public largely favors it based on letters he receives. Some officials see the ruling as a ban on all prayers, others only on mandatory prayers.
