Reform Jewry Urges States
to Pass Fair Sabbath Latvs
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
Commission on Social Action of
Reform Judaism urged state
legislatures to adopt Fair Sab-
bath laws "to protect the re-
ligious liberty of persons whose
convictions compel them to ob-
serve a day other than Sunday
as a religious day of rest."
Noting that several states are
considering new legislation af-
fecting compulsory Sunday clos-
ings, I. Cyrus Gordon, chairman,
speaking for the Commission,
declared: "We believe that the
American principle of religious
liberty is impaired if any per-
son is penalized for adhering to
his religious conscience, so long
as he does not interfere with
the rights of others or endanger
the public peace or security."
The Commission pointed out
that Reform Judaism has held
consistently to the principle,
first enunciated in a resolution
adopted by the Union of Amer-
ican Hebrew Congregations in
1879.
The statement called to the
attention of state legislatures
the "milestone decision" of the
three-judge district court is
Massachusetts in the Crown
Kosher Super Market case in
May of this year, declaring the
Massachusetts Sunday law arbi-
trary and discriminatory.
The Commission is a joint in-
strumentality of the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions, parent body of 575 Re-
form temples; the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis,
association of the Reform rab-
binate; and other affiliated
bodies of the Union.
Gordon called upon 575 Re-
form temples to mobilize public
support and to communicate
their views to governors and
state legislatures in behalf of a
Fair Sabbath Law.

Ask State Referendum
for Sunday Closing Law
NEWARK (JTA) — A cam-
paign to put a Sunday closing
proposal on a referendum for
the November state election in
New Jersey was underway in
five of the state's most heavily
populated counties, all of them
with substantial Jewish com-
munities.
The state legislature voted in
May to leave the issue to the
people. The proposed I a w
would_for_bid_the SfliP of an-
parel, building materials, appli-
ances and home and office fur-
nishings on a county option
basis. It _ would go into effect
Nov. 15, if approved:
Foes of the measure, which
include religious groups which
do not observe Sunday as their
Sabbath — mainly Jews a n d
Seventh Day Adventists--were
preparing a counter-campaign
to induce voters to oppose the
measure. A total of 2,500 sig-
natures in each county is need-
ed to get the issue on the
November ballot.
Religion Gets Beating
from Soviet Scientist
LONDON (WJA) — Opening
an all-Union conference on
"questions of scientific atheism"
in Moscow recently, P. N. Fed-
oseyev, director of the Institute
of Philosophy in the USSR
Academy of Sciences, said that
the task of those assembled
there consists in "assisting in
publicising on a wide scale sci-
entific-atheistic knowledge and
in strengthening the struggle
for overcoming prejudices and
superstitions," the World Jew-
ish Congress Information De-
partment reports.
Science, Fedoseyev went oh,
does not tolerate anything that
is obsolete, that "fetters the
human mind". Every advance in
science is a blow to religion,
and every step along the path
to communism creates perqui-
sites for eliminating religious
beliefs.
Representatives of Academies
of Science of the USSR, scien-
tists from Union Republics and
teachers in higher educational
establishments are said to have
participated in the conference
which heard, among others, an
address by Prof. Oizerman, doe-
tor of philosophy, on "Present-
Day Bourgeois Philosophy and
Religion."

Announce the Admission of
Fight Land Grant
to Biased Fraternities
MARVIN B. SHEPLOW, C.P.A.
TUCSON, (JTA) — Arizona
civic organizations and the
State Board of Regents were in
sharp conflict this week over
the refusal of the board to deny
use of state-owned land and
Federal funds to fraternities at
the University of Arizona which
admit practicing discrimination
on grounds of race, religion and
color.
The university received 13
applications for funds for new
fraternity and sorority buildings
at the state institution. Four of
the applicant fraternities have
restrictive membership clauses
in their constitutions.
The houses would be erected
with Federal funds granted to
the university, on state-owned
land which would be leased to
the groups.
The Arizona Anti-Defamation
League, supported by the Civic
League for Unity, the American
Civil Liberties Union and Amer-
icans for Democratic Action, has
challenged the decision of the
Board of Regents.

Stone Houses and Jew's
Attitude on Redemption
By Rabbi SAMUEL J. FOX
(Copyright, 1959, JTA, Inc.)
There was a time when Jews
were forbidden by rabbis to
build houses of stone.
Such a prohibition is found
in the testament of Judah Cha-
sid, and in the "Shaloh" of
Isaiah Horwitz. At a certain
period in England, Jews re-
frained from building houses
of stone so as not to arouse
the envy of non-Jews. This,
however, was not the reason
behind the prohibition men-
tioned by the above two sages
of Israel. Their reason was a
rather Zionistic one. They
claimed that, when a Jew
builds himself a luxurious
house of stone in the Diaspora,
it becomes a sign that he has
lost his hope of ever re-
turning to the promised Holy
Land. Else, why build such a
luxurious and long - lasting
home? Of such people Rabbi
Moses Sofer wrote: Such an
attitude is proof of having
given up all hope of redemp-
tion "
