[0:02] this is the CBS Evening News with Walter
[0:05] Cronkite
[0:07] good evening the Supreme Court today
[0:09] gave States new authority to Aid
[0:11] parochial schools and 65 pages of
[0:14] opinion that amount to an instruction
[0:15] manual of what type A it is permissible
[0:18] Fred Graham reports
[0:21] for 25 years State legislatures have
[0:23] been groping for ways to funnel tax
[0:25] revenues to church-related schools
[0:27] without having the aid programs declared
[0:29] unconstitutional as violations of the
[0:32] separation of church and state
[0:34] finally in 1976 the Ohio legislature
[0:37] tried the scattershot approach by
[0:39] passing a law using six separate forms
[0:42] of Aid to channel 88 million dollars per
[0:44] year to private and parochial school
[0:46] students Ohio's Ingenuity was rewarded
[0:49] today as the Supreme Court upheld
[0:52] funding for the following types of Aid
[0:54] contained in that law
[0:56] textbooks purchased with State funds and
[0:58] loaned to students in church schools
[1:00] testing speech hearing and psychological
[1:03] diagnostic services and therapeutic
[1:05] guidance and remedial services
[1:08] the court declared unconstitutional
[1:10] funds for instructional materials such
[1:12] as Maps Globes and projectors and field
[1:15] trips the court upheld the programs that
[1:18] it did generally because the aid went
[1:20] directly to the students and it struck
[1:23] down the others because the aid went to
[1:25] the schools or entangled the schools
[1:27] with the state in administering the
[1:29] programs the result is to give the
[1:32] Supreme Court stamp of approval to
[1:34] several specific types of programs to
[1:37] Aid church-related schools which other
[1:39] states are now free to copy F
