Synagogue Council, NCRAC Urge
Children Should Not Be Penalized for
Absences from School on the Holidays

T h e Synagogue Council of
America and the National Com-
munity Relations Advisory Coun-
cil, through their joint advisory
committee on religion and the
public school, released a state-
ment of views regarding the clos-
ing of public schools on the High
Holy Days. It recommends:
"1. It should be the concern
of the Jewish community that
no Jewish child or teacher shall
be penalized for remaining away
from school on a Jewish reli-
ous holiday.
"2. That t-ewish organizations
or leaders .should not request the

public school system to close the
schools on Jewish religious holi-
days.
"3. Where the public school
system, as a matter of school ad-
ministration, wishes to close the
schools on Jewish 'holidays, and
requests an opinion from Jewish
organizations or Jewish commu-
nity leaders, no objections should
be interposed by such Jewish
representatives, provided the rec-
ord is made clear that the deci-
sion was made purely for admin-
istrative reasons and that the
Jewish community has not re
quested such action."

17-P Nixon Sends
New Year Message

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News

WASHINGTON — Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon sent the
following New Year greetings
through JTA:
"It is reassuring, in greeting
you on the occasion of the New
Year 5716, to know that there is
continuity of recorded time and
civilization, going back that far,
with all it connotes for the hu-
man mind and heart. It has taken
strong perservance and strong
religious faith to come this far
along the way.
"May the New Year reinforce
in all our hearts the fervent hope
for greater understanding, broth-
erhood and peace throughout the
world."

wel anywhere from teri months
to two years after the operation.
Whie the Mt. Zion physicians do
not consider any of the patients
to be "cured," their research is
considered to be of great import-
ance in studying the influence
of hormones on breast cancer.

Honor Workers' Tenets,
Businessmen Are Told

The New York State Commis-
sion Against Discrimination has
ruled that a business firm must
"accommodate itself to the rea-
sonable needs of employees or
prospective employees in connec-
tion with religious holiday ob-
servances" or be deemed in vio-
lation of the State Law Against
Discrimination, the American
Jewish Congress announced.
This latest expression of
SCAD's basic policy in the area
of religious observance was set
forth by Commissioner Elmer A.
Carter in his investigation of a
complanit brought by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress.
Commissioner Carter pointed
out that "where an employer can
do so without serious incon-
venience to the conduct of its
business, it should accommodate
itself to the reasonable needs of
employees or prospective em-
ployees in connection with re-
ligious holiday observance."
He said further that "a refusal
to do so and a resultant barring
from employment or a discharge
would be contrary to the pur-
pose of the Law Against Dis-
crimination."
The Commissioner noted that
an employer's refusal to meet
unreasonable demands would not
be considered a violation of the
law. One of the requisites is that
an employee give an employer
timely notice of his desire.
