In the letter of dismissal, the
company said that Miss Temmel-
man's demands for permission to
leave early • on Fridays during
the winter and to be absent on
Saturdays "and certain other
days" would "materially affect
your ability to complete your
work assignments."
The Appellate Court decision
affirmed a ruling by Superior
Court Judge Frank L. Kingfield,
who declared: "It is a somewhat
sad commentary upon our mod-
ern civilization that a person'
has to lose her employment be-
cause of a desire to participate
in a religious ceremony. How-
ever, an employer today likewise
has a problem. Industries can ill
afford to have any of the cogs of
their machinery slowed up." The
Appellate Division decision was
confined to the issue of religious
discrimination.

Report Fewer
Offspring from
Mixed Marriage
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Ameri-
can Jews were found, in a re-
search study reported here, to
share with American Christians
a pattern of maximum fertility
in common faith marriages and
lower fertility in mixed mar-
riages.
The findings were reported to
a session of the 'American Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Science convention by Prof. Jack
C. Bresler of Brown University.
Prof. Bresler studied 1,000
Brown University and Pembroke
College alumni. He traced the
origins and religions of their
parents and grandparents.
He also found that marriages
of men and women of the same
faith but with different national
origins, even it generations re-
moved, also produce fewer chil-
dren. He reported that Catholic-
Catholic marriages produce: the
greatest number of children.

Participating in the services
were representatives of the Jew-

officers and members of the So-
ciety of Christians and Jews. All
of the speakers condemned the
anti-Semitic manifestations.
One of the participants, Paul
Schallueck, a German author, de-
clared that the fears of resurgent
anti-Semitism expressed univer-
sally during the height of the
manifestations of last year were
"exaggerated." "D e v elop-
ments during recent months," he
stated, "have shown that the Ger-
man people as a whole do not
condone anti-Semitism."
