Massachusetts Senate OKs Bill
•
for Sunday Trade by Sabbatarians
BOSTON (JTA)—The State
Senate, by a vote of 26-11,
passed a bill amending the Sun-
day laws to permit Sabbatarians
who close their businesses on
Saturdays to conduct their af-
fairs on Sundays. A Fair Sab-
bath Law has been advocated
by Jewish organizations in this
state for several years.
The state House of Repre-
sentatives had already adopted
the measure by an overwhelm-
ing vote. The bill will return
now to the House for formal
enactment, after which it will
go to the governor for signa-
ture.
The measure passed the
Senate after opponents tried
to put through amendments,
one of which would have ex-
empted employees of Sab-
batarians from working on
Sundays. One of the counter-
arguments by proponents of
the bill, including President
John E. Powers, was that
leaders of the Jewish, Pro-
testant and Catholic faiths '-
favor the measure.
One of the members of the
upper house, Sen. Joseph D.
Ward, of Fitchburg, pointed
out in arguing for the bill that
in Israel, Christians are allowed
to pursue their businesses on
Saturdays.
Philly Attorney to Head
American Jewish
Historical Society
CHARLESTON, S.C. (JTA)—
Dr. Leon J. Obermayer, a Phil-
adelphia attorney, was elected
president of the American Jew-
ish Historical Society at the
three-day 62nd annual meeting
which ended Tuesday. He suc-
ceeded Dr. Abram Kanof, a
New York City pediatrician.
Citations were presented to
members affiliated with the
Society for 35 years or more.
Arthur Hays Sulzberger, chair-
man of the board of the New
York Times, was one of those
receiving the citation. Dr. Philip
D. Sano of Chicago was elected
chairman of the execuitve coun-
cil.
