WASHINGTON (ap( The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that the draft law's exemption for conscientious objectors is broad enough to embrace all religions but excludes those who, disavowing religious beliefs, would claim exemption on philosophical views. Clark went on to explain: "We believe that, under this construction, the test of belief 'in a relation to a supreme being' is whether a given belief that is sincere and meaningful occupies a place in the life of its possessor parallel to that filled by the orthodox belief in God of one who clearly qualifies for the exemption.

"Where such beliefs have parallel positions in the lives of their respective holders, we cannot say that one is 'in a rela Irving Amen Show Set For Wesleyan Campus fey Duke's Dr. Harold Humm Starts Lecture Series An exhibit of woodcuts and lithographs by Irving Amen is being displayed in the exhibit gallery at Carolina Wesleyan College.

Justice Hugo L.

Black delivered the unanimous decision. Louisiana appealed to the Supreme Court after a three-judge U.S. District Court in Baton Rouge ruled the requirement violated the federal Constitution. The District Court voted 2-1. Louisiana's appeal emphasized that "It is fundamental that the right remains with the states to decide and declare the requirements for voter registration." In reply, the Justice Department contended racial discrimination "resulted from the inherent versatility of the test, which condoned gross disparities, along color lines, in the mode of administration, the se lection of examination tests, and the grading of responses." Black said there could be no doubt, from the evidence in the case, that the Baton Rouge court was "amply justified in finding that Louisiana's interpretation test, as written and as applied, was part of a successful plan to deprive Louisiana Negroes of their right to vote." RACE AND JURORS WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court declared in a 6 3 opinion today that defendants in criminal cases are not consti tutionally entitled to demand that the trial jury or juror rolls include a porportionate num ber of their particular race.

Justice Byron R. White delivered the court's opinion in rul ing against Robert Swain, 19- year-old Negro who appealed from a sentence to execution in Alabama on conviction of rape of a 17-year-old white girl. "Neither the jury roll nor the venire need be a perfect mirror of the community or accurately reflect the proportionate strength of every identifiable racial group," White said. The court further ruled against objections by counsel for Swain against use of peremptory challenges to exclude Negroes from serving on trial juries. "We cannot hold that the Con stitution requires anp examina- ill01 prosecutor reasons for the exercise of his chal lenges in any given case," said White.

Justice Arthur J. Goldberg wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice William O. Douglas. Goldberg said the court's majority view "seriously impairs" the holdings of earlier Supreme Court decisions on juryselec-tion, "and creates additional barriers1 to the elimination of jury discrimination practices which have operated in many communities to nullify the command of the equal protection clause." Justice Tom C. Clark spoke for the court in the holding that the law does not permit exemption for those who seek to claim it on the basis of essentially political, sociological or economic considerations that war is wrong and that they will have no part of it.

"We have concluded," Clark said, "that Congress, in using the expression 'Supreme Being' rather than the designation God' was merely clarifying the meaning of religious training and helief so as to embrace all philosophical A ceremony was recently held at Emerson Shops recognizing the long service of Robert Wil liams, Coach Cleaner, in the Mechanical Department of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company.

The court upheld appeals involving three men who said they were opposed to war, but not say their opposition was based on belief in a supreme being. The cases of two of the men, Daniel Andrew Seeger and Arno Sascha Jakobson, came from New York. The third case, involving Forest Britt Peter, came from California. Each of the three was convicted of refusing to report for induction into the armed forces and each was sentenced to jail. The 1948 Draft Act exempts from military service anyone "who by reason for religious training and helief is conscien-tiously opposed to participation In war." DR.

HAROLD J. HUMM Bill By Douglas Facing Failure BY JON HALL WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Paul H. Douglas, said Saturday his "truth in lending" bill, which he says would be a boon to credit buyers, appears to be boxed in again this year but he is far from giving up hope on it. Douglas told a reporter that what he regards as a highly un-.

fortunate decision by the Senate leadership to change the Banking Committee's membership to an even number had made it harder to win approval for it. The senator has been pushing for the measure since 1960 but never has succeeded in getting it out of the banking group and onto tne senate floor for deb3le. He and other sponsors had considered its chances good this year because of the bigger Democratic majorities In both Senate and House. President Johnson endorsed the measure in his January eco nomic message, just as President John F. Kennedy had previously.

The disclosure bill would require that each borrower in a credit transaction be given two items of information: the true annual interest rate and the total dollar amount of the credit charge. The bill has been heavily attacked by many lending institutions and retailers as unnecessary and unworkable. Douglas contends that millions of individuals do not realize how much they are paying for credit. The senator actually has not reintroduced the measure this year, although it has been drafted in about the same form in which it was presented to the preceding Congress.

Viet Nam SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Heavy fighting broke out in Binh Dinh province 265 miles northeast of Saigon before dawn today and at least 33 government troops were killed. Three U.S. Armv men were wounded, one of them seriously. Twenty-four Vietnamese troops were reported wounded. Reports indicated 57 Viet Cong bodies had been found on the field and that a substantial quantity of enemy equipment had been captured.

The fight began when some 400 Viet Cong attacked a Special Forces camp with mortars, re-coilless rifles and small arms. Government planes dropped flares to light up the area all night for the defending forces and planes. Most of the enemy dead were tound entangled in the barbed wire around the camp. The Viet Cong apparently broke off the fight shortly after sunrise, but sporadic fighting continued all day. Scattered clashes were reported throughout most of the rest of the country, including one five miles from Saigon Sunday night.

In that engagement, about 20 Viet Cong overran a hamlet after the defenders were forced to withdraw. The Viet Cong later also withdrew.
