• ADL Group Urges Filibuster's End i ii Civil Rights One hundred Jewish business and civic leaders from 30 states urged the Senate not to permit the civil rights debate to become "a race between the patience of Senators facing a filibuster and the impatience of Negroes await- ing long overdue rights." Speak- ing for the group, playwright Dore Schary, national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, declared that if the Senate leadership permits the debate "to be extended beyond reason the effect will be to bring strife and violence into every major city of the nation this summer." The group met in the Bnai Brith Building in Washington and con- ferred in the Indian Treaty Room of the White House Annex. They were addressed by Senator Abra- ham J. Ribicoff (D-Conn) and Senator Jacob K. Javits (R-NY), Lee C. White. Associate Counsel to the President, and Nicholas deB. Katzenbach. Deputy U.S. Attorney General. Gerald W. Siegel, vice- chairman and counsel for the Washington Post. presided. Senator Kenneth C. Keating (R-NY) was host at a luncheon for the New York contingent headed by Maxwell M. Rabb, secretary to the Cabinet in the Eisenhower ad- ministration. An afternoon session held in the New East Wing of the Capitol was addressed by Schary, Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D- Minn), Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Cal), and Henry Edward Schultz.

Washington Reverberations Jewish leaders are watching with utmost interest the develop- ments in the House Judiciary- Committee which has been turned into a battlefront by elements requesting the return of prayer and Bible- reading to the public schools . . . The House leader in the religion-in- the-schools fight, Rep. Frank Becker, New York Republican, intro- duced a proposal for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would in effect nullify the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court 'ban- ning prayers and Bible-reading in classrooms . . . Backing his pro- posed amendment are a substantial number of members of the House, both Republicans and Democrats, hailing from 33 of the 50 states . . . There is little fear among Jewish organizations—and all Jewish groups 'support the Supreme Court decision against prayers in the public schools—that Congress may adopt this year any Constitutional amendment as requested by those who want to turn the clock back . . . This is because the battlefield on school prayer is now largely confined to the House; the Senate front is quiet . . Also because an amendment to the Constitution must be sent for ratification to the states—a matter which takes time . . . However, Jewish organizations are deeply concerned over the emotional discussions which might be fanned over this very sensitive issue .. . Professional anti-Semites are already taking advantage of the fact that there is a . marked contrast between the Jewish position in supporting the Supreme Court edicts and the position of the tens of thousands of letter writers and peti- tioners who bombard their Congressmen with requests to vote for bringing prayers and Bible reading back to the public schools . . An election year—as this year is—offers increasing opportunities for these propagandists to spread dissension between Jews and certain elements among the non-Jewish population, if discussion of the issue of prayer-Bible-reading in schools is fanned. Memory of Jules Isaac, Foe of Religious Bias, Honored in Florence FLORENCE (JTA) —. A special commemoration ceremony was held in memory of Jules Isaac, the noted French historian known for his lifetime struggle against religious prejudice. The Mayor of Florence, Giorgo La Piza, designated the day as "Jules Isaac Day." The ceremony was held in the magnificent Florence Municipal Hall in the "Palazzo Vecchio" in conjunction with the annual meet- ing of European societies for Chris- tian-Jewish friendship. Participating in the meeting were the French ambassador, M. Berard, Chief Rabbi Jacob Kaplan of France and Chief Rabbi Toaff of Rome. Also present were repre- sentatives of Bnai Brith, Alliance Israelite, the American Jewish Committee and Jewish commun- ities throughout the world.

Although the heavy pre- ponderance of letters and petitions reaching the members of Congress and demanding the return of prayer-Bible back to classrooms comes from women, it is noted that groups are now being created to mobilize popular support for this drive . . . One of these groups, the Consti- tutional Prayer Foundation, has even appealed to President John- son to serve as honorary chiarman . . . The President politely declined, but the Foundation numbers ex-President Eisenhower as one of its prominent backers . .. It is also noted that, although many members of the House and Senate have been able so far to avoid direct con- frontation on the amendment issue, the holdouts are dwindling as the pressures mount during this election year . . . This is true also with regard to many Protestant and Catholic leaders with an en- lightened view on religious practices in the public schools . . . They find themselves at odds with large numbers of their constituents who are being quite vocal in disavowing the official church positions . . . The prayer-Bible reading agitation is becoming a difficult tide for them to buck, more so in the light of the vigor of its proponents and the national spotlight into which the issue is now being pushed . . . Interesting light on. the issue is thrown by results of a survey con- ducted among school superintendents of some 4,000 communists . . . Their replies indicated that only about 42 per cent of the school systems of the United States as a whole conducted Bible reading in the classrooms before the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconsti- tutional . . . The Southern states, were first, with about 77 per cent of their schools conducting devotional services; the second place was taken by the Eastern states, with over 67 per cent . . . In the Mid- western states, only 18 per cent of the schools conducted Bible reading, and in the Western states only 11 per cent. teachings have made a deep im- pression on World Christianity and his meeting with the late Pope John XXIII in 1960 mark the be- ginning of discussions of sugges- tions now before the Ecumenical Council.
