JUNE 28. 1962 Kennedy Supports High Court Decisi - rt WASHINGTON (W)—President Kennedy said yesterday the Su preme Court decision banning of ficial prayers in public schools gives American families an op portunity to do more praying with their children at home. He said he advocates home prayers. • Kennedy said that despite dis agreements among the people, it is important ithat high court de cisions, once made, have the sup port of the American people. Kennedy got into this subject at his news conference in 'which he also: *Called on the House of Reg resentatives to pass his new tra bill on which a major vote is duel today. He said the measure is "vital to the future of this coun try." *Declared U.S. policy in the Formosa area is unchanged—that the United States opposes wing ' force in that area' but will defend Formosa if the Chinese Commu• nista attack' it and will defend Quemoy and Matsu, the offshore Nationalist Chinese islands, if an attack against them is aimed also at Formosa and the Pescadores. Tax Petition Ne A petition "to get expression of opposition" to application of the state's 4 per cent sales tax on textbook purchases netted 1,500 signatures in the week it was displayed at Keeler's bookstore, S.

As to the trade bill, he asserted that if the House sends it back to the committee, it would spell de feat for the measure. And he add ed that if the chamber simply ex tends the existing trade bill for one year, that also would defeat the purpose. • The new bill would give the President sweeping new powers to cut U.S. tariffs. or abolish some of them altogether,_ in bargaining 'for concessions from foreign na tions, One main idea stressed by 'its backers is to keep export-mar kets open for U.S.• goods in the face of European economic inte gration. While Kennedy opened up on the subject of Formosa himself, there were several questions about it Asked what the position of the ;United States would be towards la Nationalist attempt to 'return to !the mainland, Kennedy said he had meant in his statement to is 1,500 Names tom the sales tax only those texts sold to students at stores tun_ by educational institutions. The petition will probably be used to supplement a letter cam paign protesting the tax. Swan son said. "We are originating letters to authorities in Harrisburg," he said, adding that Dean Wharton, Undergraduate Student Govern ment president, haspromised to write . one of these letters. • Swanson said that a letter was mailed yesterday from the State College Chamber of Commerce, 'and Sen. Jo Hays, D-Centre, plans to write a letter to David B. Kurtzman, state secretary of ad ministration, requesting .clarifica tion of the rule. HAYS SAID Monday that if no new interpretation is forthcoming and if he is re-elected, he will sponsor legislation in the 1983 legislature to "remove this in. equity." Swanson said that he would wait to hear the response to Hays' letter before having the petition presented to state authorities. stress that "our arrangements in this area are defensive."
