THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1947, SECTION 1 Court Asked to Make Board Give Catholic-School Pupils Free Rides This Baby-Sitter, 17, Took Not Only Husband But Baby Atlanta, Aug. 29 (AP) A 25-year-old mother complained the The Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld tfisne SsJ ii- jg 9 to the Fulton County grand jury today that her 17-year-oicl aunt and chief baby sitter had not only run off with her husband but the baby as well. And, said Mrs. Obie Porter, she Washington, Aug. 29 (JP) The Supreme Court was asked today to rule that a public School Board must pay for transportation of pupils to Catholic parochial schools.

The court decided last February that public funds raised by taxation may be used for that purpose. But it did not rule whether a School Board could refuse legally to approve such expenditures. Now it is asked to do so In an appeal by Paul Connell, whose 10-year-old daughter attends St. Patrick's Parochial School in Kennett Square, near Philadelphia. Connell said the Township School Board provides free bus service for pupils attending public schools, but refused to transport his daughter to the parochial school.

The School Board contended that using public funds for that purpose would violate the Pennsylvania constitutional provision that "No money raised for support of the public schools shall be used for support for any sectarian school." School Board. In appealing to the U. S. Supreme Court, Connell said he was denied rights guaranteed by the U. S.

Constitution, including the right of freedom of religion, and the right to equal protection of law. The court's 5-to-4 ruling last February threw out objections by a New Jersey taxpayer to payments by Ewing Township for transporting children to parochial schools in Trenton. Such payments were authorized by a 1941 act of the New Jersey Legislature. In the majority opinion, Justice Black put bus service for pupils in the same category as police and fire protection and other services furnished to all without regard to religion. Justice Rutledge, principal dissenter, said the decision made a new breach in the wall between church and State.

The first breach, he said, was the court's 1930 decision that States may provide free textbooks for nonpublic schools. i. i ft' wanted back her son, Billy, 18 months.

"When I got home," said Mrs. Porter, "they had all gone." She charged her husband had taken the baby to Meadville, his home, and refused to release him. Mrs. Porter, a former beauty operator, now is living with her parents in Cleveland. She said she was not working.

"I can't keep my mind on making other women beautiful," she explained.
