So far, however, Sills has not been consulted and plans no investigation of hia own, according to a spokesman in his office. At its Rutherford Council meeting last night, Councilman James Naughton made a motion that Rutherford join Hasbrouck Heights in hoisting the pennants their own. The European Parliament, which already exists, would discuss the policies the government leaders worked out, but they would have no power to veto or modify them.

The Parliament would have no power to perform other functions of a national legislature. Its members would continue to be appointed from the membership of the national Parliaments and would not be elected directly. The hope among many Europeans is that some day, if France has less nationalistic leaders, the organization could be strengthened. It is not known yet whether De Gaulle will accept even as loose an organization as Er-hard is proposing. on a high hill overlooking rooms.

Mayor Justin Tokarski suggested that Rutherford wait until the legality of the pennants has been established before flying their own. "I'm not against God or this country," the Mayor said, "but the Constitution, which is a won derful document, allows us all kinds of freedoms including the freedom to worship God and not to worship." NAUGHTON DISAGREES Councilman Naughton disagreed, saying the Council should authorize display of the flags first, wait for a legal decision second. The argument produced an almost predictable response in the audience, with most people arguing in favor of God on the flagstaff.

Mrs. Theresa Hetzel, the person who first suggested use of the pennants in Rutherford, broke into tears at the meeting. "I think," she declared, "some people would rather see a flag that says 'One Nation Gone Under'." A dissenting voice came from Mrs. Joan Kaplan; president of the Rutherford Human Rights Committee, who expressed shock at Councilman Naugh-ton's abortive resolution. Said Mrs.

Kaplan: "I am surprised at Mr. Naughton's attitude in view of his oath of office to uphold the Constitution." If the pennant argument had hard going in Rutherford, it found quick and easy support in East Paterson.

Mrs. Patton continued: would even preclude the Bible for swearing in court. It does not have a place in a court of law. If we have separation of Church and State, we should not have this interference. I feel the same way about the "Under God" banner.

Belief in God is not a part of all religions." BACKS SILENT PRAYER Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg of Temple Emanu-El in Englewood sadi people get much too doctrinaire on this subject. The Rabbi continued: "The separation of Church and State has historically meant that all religions would be treated equally. I do not think the issue here is constitutional law, but social policy. Our tradition is that no religious group is going to get a better break than another. We should keep it that way.

"But," Rabbi Hertzberg added, "In light of the Supreme Court decision against prayers in the public schools, we are better off without prayer at any public occasion. If we must have prayers in these cases, let's keep them silent. "I think we're better off not trying to force prayer on one another. These prayers are denatured in any case because, when we start giving civic prayers, we start watering them down to make them conform to civic necessity. This reduces prayer to gesture.

FAIRVIEW WAITS The Fairview Board also managed to put off, at least temporarily, any decision in the pennant argument.

A letter from the St. Francis Assisi Council, K. of offering a pennant for $3.25, was referred to the Board attorney for study. Meanwhile Mayor John F. Knowlan, of Hasbrouck Heights, continued to receive public support for his refusal to remove the "Under God" pennants from the municipality.

So far, he said last night, he has received over 100 telegrams, letters, and phone calls, supporting his stand. Only two letters, he said, expressed opposition to the pennants. The minority opposed to flying the banners have generally expressed their opposition in the light of previous Supreme Court decisions on school prayer and other issues. Chiefly, they believe display of the banners adds up to governmental interference in an individual matter, namely, in the words of the Rutherford mayor, whether to worship or not to worship.

12oo By FRED FLAXMAN (Staff Writer) How do religious leaders feel about the practice of starting municipal meetings with a prayer, or about "One Nation Under God" pennants flying with the American flag on public poles? Do they think it is a violation of the Constitution, which prohibits the establishment of State religions? It depends which leader you ask. The Mayor and Council of Hasbrouck Heights is currently being challenged for flying an "Under God" banner with the flag. The matter will be brought before the Grand Jury tomorrow. In Ramsey last month the Borough Council turned down a suggestion that it begin each meeting with a prayer and salute to the flag. SEES NOTHING WRONG The Rev.

Thomas F. McHugh, pastor of Our Lady of Victories R. C. Church, in Harrington Park, replied that he sees nothing wrong with the pennants. As for the Council prayers, Mr.

McHugh said: "I don't think they violate the Constitution and I don't believe any right-thinking person would feel they do. We have them here and I think it's a fine idea." The Rev. Field H. Hobbs, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Teaneck, also approved of the Council prayers.

"Those who don't want to pray don't have to," he said. Mr. Hobbs added that he didn't know enough about the pennant issue to comment on it. But he asked, significantly: "What's the reason for them?" In the opinion of the Rev. William S.

George, pastor of the Demarest Baptist Church, "If the individual Mayor wants to start his meetings with a prayer, I think that's all right. The Mayor ought to be free to lead the town government as he wants to. If the people don't like what he does, they can vote him out of office." Kenneth Patton, minister of the Unitarian Church in Ridgewood, disagrees with that position. He said it is a violation of the separation of Church and State when prayer is a part of an official State meeting, whether it be a Council, legislative committee, or the inauguration of the President.
