WASHINGTON (AP) -
A divided Supreme Court
today upheld Maryland's
ban on showing of the
Swedish movie *T Am Cu-

Since the court dead-
locked 4 to 4 it gave no
statement with its ruling.
Justice William O. Doug-

disqualifying himself from
the case.

Space Prayer Case Spiked
Movie Ban Is Upheld
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court dedined
unanimously today to hear Madalyn Murray O'Halr's
protest against astronauts praying from space.
Mrs. O’Hair, who brought the suit which led to the
Supreme Court han on compulsory prayer m public
schools, objected in her latest suit to prayer, Bible read-
ing and religious statements by astronauts who were tel-
evised during space flights.
The religious activity, Mrs. O’Hair contended, con-
stituted government financing of religion, but the gov-
ernment argued the astronauts were speaking for them-
selves and not the United States.
Benefits Hike
■
| i B
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Wilbur Mills, a man
who has a lot to do with it, said today Social Security
benefits will be hiked 10 per cent this year for sure, and
perhaps more.
Mills, chairman of the House Ways and Means Com-
mittee, said in an interview with U.S. News & World Re-
port, that an upward adjustment in the base probably
will be necessary.
Presently an employee’s share for Social Security is
5 2 per cent of the first $7,800 he makes, the top rate,
and that’s about $400 a year.
Mills noted the Nixon administration has proposed
advancing the base figure to $9,000, or about $468 to the
worker, and said this proposal would not cover the pro-
posed 10 per cent increase.
"It will take a higher base, and perhaps a small in-
crease in the rate," the Arkansas Democrat said.

toward congressional re-
districting, Rep. Heber
Finch, D-Sapulpa, said to-
day.
Finch, chairman of the
house constitutional revi-

ices committee, said he
has already called for

The chairman said dis- I

"I want to do it this ses-

there won’t be time.”
"To be fair, we ought to
do it now,” he added. He
explained that by passing ’
