W. Germans Hail Supreme Court
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (JTA)
Anti-Nazi Satire —Crown Kosher Supermarket,
"Schweik in the Second World
War," an anti-Nazi satire, was
enthusiastically received by au-
dience and critics in its West-
German premiere in Frankfurt
last week.
The play was written in 1943
by the late Bertolt Brecht, who
fled to the United States from
the Hitler regime, and features
some 22 musical numbers as
well as realistic characteriza-
tions of the Nazi leaders.
Schweik, in the play, is the
symbol of the "small man" un-
der the Nazi tyranny, who man-
ages to escape the worst hor-
rors of the Nazi occupation of
Czechoslovakia. The play had
previously been performed- in
Poland and East Germany.

which won a federal court rul-
ing, against being closed Sun-
days by the Massachusetts
Lord's Day laws, was open for
business Sunday by permission
of the Springfield police.
A panel of three federal
judges in Boston ruled that the
constitutional rights of the
supermarket corporation -had
been violated by the enforce-
ment of the state law. Herbert
B. Ehrman, of Boston, presi-
dent of the American Jewish
Committee, served as attorney
for the supermarket in the test
case which is likely to go to the
United States Supreme Court
for a final ruling.
The supermarket contended
that the laws discriminated
against Jews who observe Sat-
urday as their Sabbath and
against kosher stores which are
closed Saturdays as -a matter of
religious principle. The state
Attorney General's_ office was
studying the ruling for a pos-
sible appeal to the Supreme
Court. The market is being al-
lowed to stay open Sundays by
an agreement with Police Chief
Raymond P. Gallagher of this
city pending further court ac-
tion.

NEWARK, N. J. (JTA)—A
group of New Jersey Jews and
non-Jewish organizations have
appealed to the New Jersey Leg-
islature to amend a proposed
Sunday closing law to protect
businessmen observing their
Sabbath on a day other than
Sunday.
A Sunday closing law has
passed the State Assembly by
a narrow margin and was be-
fore the Senate. The statement
said that the Legislature had
"no authority to designate any
specific day for religious ob-
servances as incumbent upon
the entire community."
