OKLAHOMA CITY — The
Oklahoma State Supreme Court
has ruled that separation of
church and state does not mean
cutting loose from God. Two citi
zens brought suit to prohibit the
construction of a non-denomina
tional chapel for the Whitaker
State Orphans’ Home at Pryor.
The court plowed into the ques
tion with these words:
“It is a well-settled principle
and philosophy of our govern
ment that we should preserve sep
aration of church and state, but
that does not mean to compel or
require separation from God. It
is well-settled and understood
that ours is a Christian nation,
holding the Almighty God in duti
ful reverence. It is so noted in our
Declaration of Independence and
in the constitution of every state
of the union. At public expendi
ture we engrave on our coins: “In
God We Trust,’ and print the
same on currency.”
May these fine words of Okla
homa’s state supreme court be
heard by the governors of states
which have ruled out freedom of
worship in connection with state
institutions. How true a statement
. . . though a sad one . . . “separa
tion from God.” Many are so en
gulfed in their daily occupation
that there appears to be ‘ a cutting
loose from God.” How different
the love and grace of the Lord —
who is still reaching forth for
man, who has been hiding from
Him since the times of Adam. . . .
“Look unto Me and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth; for I
am God, and there is none else.”
(Isaiah, 45:22.)

House Committee Nixes
Paid Health Insurance
For Senior Citizens
WASHINGTON, UH—'The House
Ways and Means Committee yes
terday turned down a government
paid health insurance for retired
persons.
By a 17-8 vote, the tax-writing
committee refused to include the
plan in a general bill revising the
social security system.
Rep. Aime J. Forand told news
men that despite the committee
action he will try to force a
House vote on a health care plan.
Forand, author of the health
insurance bill, said he will seek
signatures of a majority of the
House members to bring to the
floor a separate bill calling for
hospitalization, surgical and nurs
ing home benefits.
The 10 Republicans on the com
mittee were reported to have
voted solidly against the plan,
which is opposed by President
Eisenhower’s administration. They
were joined by seven Democrats
on the key vote.

I Kefauver Defends His
| Proposal for Public
Registration Proceedings
WASHINGTON, — Sen. Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn) told the Sen
ate yesterday h i s proposed
amendment to the voting referee
part of the civil rights bill would
help rather than hinder the regis
tration of Negroes.
His amendment, backed by a
7-6 vote of the Judiciary Commit
tee, is the latest storm center in
the battle over the legislation.
Opponents contend the pro
posed change would undermine
the provision for court-appointed
referees to prevent discrimination
against Negroes seeking to regis
ter and vote.
Kefauver accused them of
“drawing on their imagination.”
The amendment would require
that registration proceedings con
ducted by the referees be open to
the public and that county or
state registrars be given an op
portunity to be present and make
a record of the proceedings.
