Court to review religion case
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Supreme Court today agreed to take a
look at part erf the 1964 Civil Rights Act
which requires employers to take
account of the religious desires of their
workers.
A lower court, on a divided vote,
upheld the constitutionality of the law
despite arguments that it discriminates
between religion and nonreligion and
among various forms of religion.
The court also agreed in a Mississippi
case to rule on whether the rights of
three public school teachers were
infringed when their contracts were
ended because their children attended a
segregated private school.
The cases will be heard next fall or
winter.

Who’ll be running in Sixth District?
Rep. John Carlisle today ended
speculation about whether he’ll run for
congress.
He won’t.
Rumors had circulated in his home
town and elsewhere that he might
announce for the Sixth District seat now
held by fellow Griff inite John J. (Jack)
Flynt.
Carlisle said he would be a candidate
to succeed himself in the Georgia
Rouse.
“A race for and possible service in
the Congress of the United States would
Griffin, Ga., 30223, Monday Afternoon, March 1,1976
necessitate family and financial
sacrifices I am not willing to make.
Also, in my capacity as assistant floor
leader in the Georgia House of
Representatives, I have an unusual
opportunity to directly benefit the
people of my district and I do not want
to lose that opportunity by seeking
another office,” Carlisle said.
“I deeply appreciate the encourage
ment of the many people who contacted
me about running for congress. I hope I
can look forward to their continued
support in my race for reelection to the

injuries at Clayton General Hospital

Several persons witnessed the crash
and rushed to the scene. They pulled
both men from the wreckage before

and speed in answering the call. They
were there within 15 minutes, he said.
The men were taken to the Griffin-
Spalding emergency room, then
transferred to Clayton General.

Aeronca Champ and had just taken off
from a nearby private landing strip, a
witness said.
Both men were Delta pilots
headquartered in Atlanta.
Crosby was a bachelor. His survivors

Sixth District seat.

opposed Flynt two years ago plans to
announce again against the Griffin
