Hmphrey's-
Fight on Anti-Semitism Is Announced here

A remarkably fine account of the
life of one of the great Americans

of our time makes "Humphrey: A
Candid Biography" by Winthrop
Griffith, published by William Mor-
row & Co. (425 Park, S.. NY 16),
a must for all who are interested
in the liberal movement in this
country.

If Griffith had reviewed Hum-
phrey's aid to Zionism, to Israel,
to the Jewish National Fund, he
would have had to add another sec-
tion to his book which tells an in-
teresting story about a most inter-
esting man—showing how the cour-
age of a great American has won
for him the respect of all who have
come in contact with him and the
love of his country.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (JTA) —
The constitutionality of a 1963 law
providing for the free loan of text-
books to pupils in private and pa-
rochial schools was challenged in
Superior Court.
The suit requested an injunction
against the Cranston School Board,
restraining it from spending an
estimated $20,000 for textbooks to
lend to seven parochial schools,
one of which is a Hebrew day
school.
The suit, brought by five tax-
payers and endorsed by the Rhode
Island affiliate of the American
Civil Liberties Union, contends
that the textbook law violates the
principle of church-state separa-
tion, and imposes a tax for non-
public purposes.

PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — The
Jewish Community Relations Coun-
cil of Greater Philadelphia ap-
pealed to the state senate's educa-
tion committee, to reject a bill to
provide public bus transportation
for pupils of sectarian schools in
Pennsylvania.
In a letter to State Sen. Preston
B. Davis, chairman of the commit-
tee, the JCRC asserted that free
public transportation to schools
under the supervision or control
of any religious denomination,
"w he t h e r Jewish, Catholic or
Protestant," was governmental aid
to religion.
As such, the JCRC said, it would
violate the freedom of religion
clause of the First Amendment to
the federal and Pennsylvania con-
stitutions.
