Atheist child delays fight over daily school exercises
William J. Murray D1, a 14 year old atheist objecting to compulsory Bible readings and Lord's Prayer in Baltimore public schools, leaves Woodbourne Junior High with mumps. His mother says he should stay in bed another week while the Baltimore Board of Education延ays any change in the five minute daily exercise rule. The attorney general ruled the exercises constitutional but those who object must be excused, a decision referred to the Rules Committee for study. A board position is not expected for about two weeks.
