Page 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1979 — O’Hair—pope case ‘not easy’ United Press International WASHINGTON — A federal judge, saying it is “not an easy case,” is mulling over atheist Mada- lyn Murray O’Hair’s attempt to stop Pope John Paul II from celebrating mass on Washington’s mall Sunday. O’Hair, who won a landmark 1963 Supreme Court ruling barring Bible reading in public schools, took on the pope in a packed courtroom Monday — at about the same time the pontiff was arriving in Boston. “I welcome him to the United States, but not to say a mass on pub lic land,” she told U.S. District Judge Oliver Gasch. O’Hair, 59, of Austin, and her son John Murray, contend in a suit against the Interior Department that a mass on the mall would violate constitutional guarantees separating church and state. Gasch dismissed a separate suit she filed against the pope on the ground he is the head of a foreign state and not within jurisdiction of U.S. courts. O’Hair, who argued her own case, told reporters “there is a co mingling of religion and govern ment on every level.” She complained the pope’s visit, also including speeches on the Bos ton Common and Grant Park ir Chicago, “is going to cost the United States taxpayers $25 million’ — money she said could better be, spent for the poor.
