NEW YORK, (JTA)—Power-
ful
Catholic groups intensified
their opposition to the passage
of legislation permitting Jews
and other Cabbath observers
who keep their businesses
closed on Saturday for religious
reasons, to open them on Sun-
day. This move followed a vote
last week in the New York City
Council requesting the state
Legislature to grant the Coun-
cil permission to adopt such
legislation.
A spokesman for a Protestant
group expressed support of the
"principle involved" in the lib-
eralized legislation, . but op-
posed further "commercializa-
tion" of Sunday. Jewish groups,
including the American Jewish
Congress and the Synagogue
Council of America, hailed the
Council's action which marked
an important step . forward an
the 30-year campaign to liberal-
ize New York City's Sunday
blue law.
The Coordinating Committee
of Catholic Lay Organizations
of the Archdiocese of New
York, representing 62 lay organ-
izations with a membership of
200,000, issued a statement
charging that adoption of a
liberalizing bill "would mean
the end of Sunday observance
as we know it now." The state-
ment insisted that the proposed
measure would not be a "fair
Sabbath law, but a no Sabbath
law."
The Protestant spokesman,
the Rev. Dr. Paul Rishell, head
of the Department of Christian
Social Relations of the Protest-
ant Council of New York, as-
serted that most Protestants
would be opposed to legislation
permitting more business on
Sunday. He questioned whether

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel
Treasury deference to the tra-
ditional Jewish ban against the
use of "graven images" on paper
money was modified in a de-
cision to use human figures to
foil counterfeiters.
The Israel State Bank will
issue new bank notes to replace
two types now in circulation.
The new notes will have repro-
ductions of human figures
which experts say is the best
guarantee against counterfeit-
ing because the human figure,
particularly the face, is ex-
tremely hard to falsify. The
smallest deviation alters the
picture enough for instant
recognition of the change.
Treasury officials said that in
the past year a considerable
sum in counterfeit ten-pound
notes was found. They said it
appeared that the money had
been made in the Gaza Strip,
although they added the count-
erfeiting probably was the work
of private operators.

such a measure could be policed
without abuse.
Rabbi Solomon J. Sharfman,
president of the Orthodox Rab-
bincial Council of America, in-
sisted that the bill would end
the "discriminatory regulation
of enforcing the religious prac-
tices of one group upon the
adherents of another." It would,
he continued, "finally give all
citizens of the city the right to
keep the Sabbath of their reli-
gious conviction without being
penalized by forcible closing of
their business on Sunday as
well."
In Albany the Legislature is
expected to vote before it ad-
journs at the end of the month
on a bill on the liberalization
of the Sunday law introduced
by Assemblyman Sidney Asch.
Since the matter pertains to
New York City alone, under
the home rule provisions of its
charter, it must be passed by
an affirmative two-thirds vote
in both legislative _houses.

Agudath Israel Reports
Request to Circummze
600 Polish Children
Over 600 uncircumcized Jew-
ish children, recently repatri-
ated to Poland from Russia,
have been registered with an
American Mohel specialist sent
to Poland by Agudath Israel of
America in early February, ac-
cording to an Agudath report.
Rabbi Harry Bronstein, of
New York, who was sent to
Poland by Agudath Israel to
circumcize the repatriated Jew-
ish children and to train new
Mohalim and Shochtim, has al-
ready personally circumcized
145 of these children, ranging
from the ages of 1 to 13, ac-
cording to the report.
To meet objections from re-
ligious sources, the Treasury
agreed that the human figure on
the notes should be symbolic—
not specific—represent agricul-
ture, defense, culture and simi-
lar subjects. At the specific re-
quest of Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion the symbolic figure
for agriculture will be'recogniz-
able as a Yemenite immigrant.
