Informal Citizens Committee Seeks
Center Sabbath Program Solution;
Rabbis Reject Negotiation Proced
An informal citizens' commit-
tee, selected by Max M. Fisher
to work out an acceptable solu-
tion in the controversy over
Sabbath programming in the
Jewish Community Center, this
week reported progress in its
efforts.
Members of the committee
expressed the hope that an
agreement will be reached soon
to end the differences which
have resulted in the formation
of a Committee for Center Sab-
bath Closing.
But the Detroit rabbinate,
in a statement to The Jewish
News on Tuesday, rejected
the procedures of the citi-
zens' committee, charging that
the rabbis are being ignored
in the negotiations. Acting as
a committee for the rabbinate
Rabbis Leizer Levine and
Haskel .Grubner contended
that this is the first time that
all Detroit rabbis-32 in num-
ber—and with only one ex-
ception — had united on an
issue, and they insisted that
the rabbis should be con-
sulted in negotiations and
that the Center should be
closed for a Saturday preced-
ing a meeting with them to
discuss plans for a com-
promise.
The informal citizens' com-
mittee was named by Fisher
not in his capacity as president
of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion, but as a public-spirited
citizen who is anxious to pre-
vent communal 'controversies
that may harm the over-all com-
me

The ommittee
Brandwine said that the
close to 2,500 responses re-
ceived by the committee striv-
ing for strict Sabbath observ-
ance were out of a mailing
of 6,000. He said additional
replies arrive daily.
Rabbi Grubner, seeking to
emphasize the urgency of the
situation and to indicate th
sincerity of the rabbis' effort
said the rabbis are prepare
to assist in furthering th
Center's activities. As proof, h
said that when funds no longer
were available for a mashgiach
to supervise the kashrut of the
Center, rabbis assumed hash-
gachah responsibility through
personal visits daily at the
Center's snack room, thereby
evincing a desire to see to it
that the Center functions prop-
erly.
Rabbi Grubner maintains
that the very small number of
people who had begun to use
the Center's facilities on Satur-
days is now drastically reduc-
ing, and he expressed the view
that the Center has nothing to
lose from a concession to close
on Saturdays until _ an agree-
rnent is reached between the
two contending groups.

to bring the two conflicting
groups together," a spokesman
for the .committee said.
But the rabbis maintain
that there can be no fusion
of ideas, that there can not
be any sort of unity, as a
result of negotiations that
would exclude them.
It is the rabbis' contention
that meetings to 'discuss differ-

I am equally convinced that
there should be consideration
also for the strong sentiments
existing in the community; 2,500
of whose families now are sup-
porting the stand of the com-
mittee that opposes Sabbath
programming. I therefore hope
that whatever action will be
taken to avert a community
crisis will be put into effect
immediately, and that the feel-
ing of Sabbath observers will
not be flaunted."
