U.S. District Court Judge Frederick V. Follmer postponed action today on a petition for a preliminary injunction against a rural school board near here which had ordered that Bible reading be made part of its curriculum in its public schools.

The board, with jurisdiction over the schools in North Lebanon Township, assured the court that Bible-reading would be halted pending the outcome of a study on the recommended course.
