8A The Independent Record, Helena, Friday, Nov. 6, 1981 Churchmen (Continued from page 1A) WEATHER Until Saturday 43 Powell and other witnesses cited Biblical verses that bestow on parents and churches the duty of educating their children. "God is our ruler," said the Rev. Sharon Thuringer, principal of the Sunrise Academy in Miles City. "God gave us our children.

He did not give them to the state and the state won't control them." If the state allows county superintendents to inspect and pass judgement on the education in church schools, Powell warned. stand up for our principles." "I'm a peaceful man and want to live within the law," he said, "so please don't push me. I'll stand on my God-given rights." Doug Kelley, a Helena pastor representing the Montana Association of Church Schools, said he sees the policy as "selective enforcement" of private schools. State law, he said, does not give state government the power to oversee private schools as the board's proposed policy would allow. Kelley said he can understand why state school administrators want to "keep a hand on educational standards, but they're keeping a hand on our Bibles" with the proposed policy.

The new policy would be an "unconstitutional infringement on our freedom of religion," Kelley said. "We don't want to litigate that. We're in the business of teaching our children. All we really want is to be left alone. Please stay out of our churches." "The state is going to have much trouble controlling private schools," the Rev.

Thuringer said. "We'll work hand-in-hand with you" on improving substandard education in private schools. Edward Heard, attendance officer for Butte schools, NATIONAL Wf ATHEK SI VIC NOAA Oep ol mm and Charles Smith, his counterpart in Billings, agreed the policy would create inconsistencies when each county superintendent is called upon to judge whether schools meet the state's minimum education requirements, Heard said the state Department of Education should be responsible for enforcing such requirements. Using attendance officers and superintendents to carry out the policy would invite local political pressure on the officials, he said. Eugene Fadel, director of the northwest region of'the Association of Christian Schools, said legislation should be provided that would solve the problem of substandard private education without infringing on the freedom of other schools.

The association's law firm advised him the proposed policy violates state and federal constitutions, Fadel said, and that Montana law does not allow state jurisdiction over private schools. John Frankino, director of the Montana Catholic Confrence, and Sister Editha Brown, superintendent of Catholic schools in Montana, suggested another option. If the board is concerned with the quality of education offered in private schools, they said, Catholic schools would be glad to supply the state with the same, accreditation information now required from public schools. Bob Korthius of Manhattan, representing the Association of Non-public Schools of Montana, was one of only two witnesses to support the policy. The organization recognizes the right of parents: to choose their children's education, he said, but also sees a need for some method of implementing a compulsory attendance policy.

1 rr6St (Continued from page 1A) He said Watson's commanding officers will probably try to convince him to return voluntarily to face prosecution and the military would probably provide transportation and leave time to make the trip possible. "The question is do we have the authority to order him to return and the answer is no we don't," said Newton. Newton said even if Watson won't return voluntarily he will eventually be rotated back to the states where he will be subject to civilian extradition laws. Sheridan County Attorney Dave Cybulski said that time is on Watson's side and the longer it takes to arrest him the tougher it will be to present a court case. "We understood that they could move him back to Great Falls or someplace in the states so that we could arrest him," said Cybulski.

Photos (Continued from page 1A) Police said the arrests were made by undercover detectives who circulated on the basement dance floor of the split-level disco and made eight purchases of narcotics in 30 minutes.

"It was a whole drug store," said a police spokesman. Follow the drug buys, about 70 narcotics detectives and uniformed police officers moved into the disco. The blaring music faded, the lights went and officers began shuttling handcuffed suspects to police vans parked outside. "I was just dancing and I was busted," said a young man as he was led to a police van. Ten people were charged with selling narcotics; 409 others, mostly teenagers, were given summons and ordered to appear in court on misdemeanor charges of loitering for the purpose of narcotics use, police said.

The raid followed complaints from residents. "The people who live there were not too thrilled with what was going on," said Lt. Walter Doyle. "People were coming out, half stoned, carryin on, causing a ruckus. Obviously, they were using narcotics and not being too quiet about it." Burton to play Wagner on TV Richard Burton will portray composer Richard Wagner in an eight-hour television biography to be filmed next year, the British producers announced Monday in London.

"We approached Richard Burton cautiously and he is very enthusiastic," said Jo Lustig, spokesman for the producers, London Trust Cultural Productions Ltd. "He's also in very good health." Vanessa Redgrave is considering an offer to play the composer's second wife, Cosima Wagner. Daphne Wagner, the composer's great-granddaughter, will play Princess Metternich. The $7.5 million production is to be released internationally in 1983, the centenary of the German composer's death. Actors already signed include Sir Ralph Richardson, who plays one of King Ludwig II's ministers, and Irish actress Gemma Craven as Wagner's first wife, Minna.
