File Brief with N. Y. Commission ,Asking Inter-Religious Adoptions NEW YORK,. (JTA)—The American Jewish Congress and the New York Board of Rabbis proposed an amendment- to the New York State Constitution that would, in effect, permit in- ter-religious adoptions when the child's parents • consent and when the welfare of the child is at stake. This amendment was ad- vanced by Leo Pfeiffer, an at- . torney representing both agen- cies, at the hearings of the Tem- porary State Commissison on the Constitutional Convention. In a brief submitted at the in- vitation of the Commission, Pfeiffer urged the amendment of Article VI, Section 18, of the present New York Constitution which provides: "Whenever a child is com- mitted to an institution or is placed in the custody of any person by parole, placing out, adoption, or guardianship, it shall be so committed or placed, when practicable, to an institu: ton governed by persons or in the custody of a person, of the same religious persuasion as the child." Pfeiffer argued that when a secular court refuses to allow an adoption, guardianship or .grant of custody, consented to by the parents and not incon- sistent with the welfare of the child, solely because of religious diversity, it is allowing itself to be used as an engine for the .10.11111 NMI DIAMONDS RESET We have a fine large selec- tion of mountings. 14-kt.

"There can, of course, be no question of the right of a church to exercise spiritual in- fluence over parents to induce them riot to consent to the grant of custody, guardianship or adoption to persons or institu- tions affiliated with a different church. "Nor can these be any ques- tion of the right of the church," he continued, "to employ eccle- siastical sanctions to that end. Where, however, the measure proves unavailing, the state may not constitutionally im- pose the 'religious protection' provision as a bar. If it does, it acts as an agency of religion in violation of the constitutional guarantee of the separation of church and state." Eban, Dulles Talk on Saudi Arabia State Dept. Denies Dissuading W. Germany from Starting Diplomatic Pacts with Israel (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) WASHINGTON — 'State De- partment sources Tuesday denied reports that the United States dissuaded the West German Government from establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. German diplomatic sources said that the State Department advised West Germany to defer diplomatic recognition of Israel until improvement occurs in the Arab-Israel situation. But U.S. officials held that the Bonn government arrived at its own independent decision to post- pone establishment of normal relationq with Israel.

U.S. officials said the matter emerged recently when Israel sought the State Department's good offices toward the creation of German-Israel diplomatic re- lations. Israel reportedly took the step in Washington because the United States is a friend of both Israel and West Germany and is represented in Bonn, Tel Aviv and Cairo. The Israel move was made because the West Germans had in the past led Israel to believe that Bonn desired the nor- malization of relations.
