Jewish Groups Urge
Enactment of Fair
Sabbath Law in N.Y.

Judaism Council's $500,000
Budget to Battle Zionists

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Twen-
ty-five Jewish organizations,
representing almost every major
group in the New York Jewish
community and a number of
national Jewish organizations,
released a statement expressing
unanimous support of the pend-
ing legislation in the New York
State Legislature to enact a
Fair Sabbath Law. They called
upon the members of the State
Senate and Assembly to take
"forthright and affirmative ac-
tion at this time" and enact
the measures relating to Sab-
bath observance.
The Jewish organizations
pointed out that "the pending
legislation would restore the
principle of equality for all re-
ligions by allowing each citizens
to choose the day of rest and
worship in accordance with the
dictates of his religion." The
New York State Council has
voted to request the State
Legislature to enact this meas-
ure," the statement emphasized.

HOUSTON (JTA) — The
American Council for Judaism
concluded its four-day annual
conference here with the adop-
tion of a $500,000 budget and
passage of a number of anti-
Zionist. resolutions.
Other resolutions acknowl-
edged that "the State of Israel
has provided refuge for many
Jewish victims of conflict and
disaster" and voiced the hope
that the citizens of Israel "will
develop a stable, peaceful and
prosperous society."
At the same time, the ACJ
called upon American of all
faiths "to reject the Zionist-
fostered concept that the State
of Israel is in any sense a
fulfillment of Biblical prophecy
or the real fancied 'homeland'
of American Jews."
One of the resolutions
adopted at the closing session
termed the Arab refusal to
recognize "the political facts of
a state of Israel" as an ob-
stacle to peace in the Middle
East. It also warned against
"expansionist Zionism."
The conference called on the
United States Government "to
take every action possible and
necessary to correct both the
Zionist-Israeli and the Saudi
Arab (or any other Arab)
imputation that Americans of
Jewish faith have any national
rights other than Americans,
or will be expected to endure
any national disability at the
hands of any foreign country
because of their faith."
The Council is anti-Zionist
but not anti-Israel, Clarence L.
