USE TV IN CATHOLIC EDUCATION: The problems eonnected with making the best use of educational television are as pressing in the Catholic school system in some parts of the country as they are in the public school system.

permits lending 'state textbooks to private school students. . The dispute before the high .court centered on the question of whether the beneficiary of the law is the student or the school. " . Backers maintained that it is the student. But opponents argued that it is the school and that therefore, in the case of church schools, the law violates Church-State separation by aiding a religious institution. The Oregon high court heard the case on appeal from a ruling handed down in February, 1960, by Circuit Court Judge Ralph M. ' Holman.. State Supplies Books Judge Holman upheld the constitutionality of the law on the grounds that U. S. Supreme Court decisions in favor of similar legislation in other states are binding in Oregon. But he said he himself disagreed with the Supreme Court's rulings. The present ,case arose when three taxpayers in the Oregon City school district filed suit against the law, ~hallenging the lending of state textbooks to pupils at St. Jol1n the Apostle School. Catholic schools of the Portland archdiocese, which includes Oregon City, use state-supplied texts in all subjects except social studies imd religion.' The taxpayers' suit was backed by the American Civil Liberties Union. Arguing the case on ·their behalf before the state high court was " Leo Pfeffer, a frequent writer and spokesman on Church-State issues. Arguments in favor of the law were presented by Portland attorneys Randall Kester' and Roy Shields, representing Ivan Carlson, an intervenor in the suit. Carlson has children attending 8t, John the Apostle School who benefit under the challenged law.
