Israel Minister of Labor Calls Sabras New York Court Approves of Relief on Statute 'Cool' Toward Diaspora Jewish Youth for Owners of Local Stores Open on Sundays NEW YORK—Thousands of New York city stores will be allowed to stay open on Sunday due to unani- mous approval of a broad interpre- tation of the Fair Sabbath Law by the state's court of appeals. The district attorney had con- tended that the law, which pro- vided Sunday opening for stores closed on Saturday, governed only those stores run by a family.

Although the "dialogue" partici- pants did not reach agreement on aliyah, the "Jewishness" of civil rights activity in the U.S. or other major issues that arose, their frank and often uninhibited ex- change of views did give rise to what the leader of the visiting American dialogue team called "the basis of any dialogue between us—ifree discussion, respect for differences and acceptance of all Jews as brothers." Shad Polier of New York, chair- man of the national governing council of the American Jewish Congress, said he was "profound- ly moved by the spirit of comrade- ship and sense of encouragement" engendered. He said the response among Is- raelis and in the press—"through which the dialogue is carried to the whole country"—had made the American Jewish Congress leaders visiting here "more determined than ever to keep coming back and keep talking." In his remarks at the final ) round July 8, Polier returned to what was perhaps the overriding theme of the 1965 dialogue— participation in the civil rights struggle in the U.S. as an ex- pression of Judaism relevant to today's world. Polier noted that young Ameri- can Jews had enlisted "far out of proportion to their numbers" as freedom riders, teachers and voting-rights workers in the civil rights movement. But while many Israelis criti- LONDON — The British govern- ment has no intention of "desert- ing our traditional friends in the Middle East or of altering our re- lations to the Arab-Israel dispute," Prime Minister Harold Wilson told the House of Commons Tuesday. Participating in Parliament's for- eign affairi debate, the Premier touched on the Middle East. He said that as part of the govern- ment's efforts to improve relations in that region he had "envisaged at the earliest possible moment a visit by a senior foreign office min- ister to Cairo" to try to improve relations with Egypt. "This is still our intention," he asserted. But he declared such a visit is not possible now while the Egyptian regime is still engaged "in a series of subversive terrorist actions which make it impossible for us to acquit Egypt and her friends of connivance, or even in- volvment." 4,000 Jews Live in Peru The Jewish community of Peru, which dates back to Marrano set- tlements in the early part of the 16th Century, today numbers some 4,000 persons, the vast majority of whom live in the capital city of Lima. he insisted, could work on Sun- day. The appeals court, however, upheld an earlier decision by the Supreme Court's appelate term which said such limited in- terpretation of the law was un- fair to store owners not blessed with a large family. Praise for the decision was voiced by the American Jewish Congress, long a leader in efforts to liberalize the Sunday-closing laws. The Congress had contended that the statute was meant to em- brace nonfa mily employes as long as the "conduct" and management of the business remained in fam- ily hands. In January, 1964, the Congress had acted as friend of the court in behalf of an Orthodox lumber deal- er who was accused of hiring four employes to work on Sunday. A year later, the misdemeanor con- viction was reversed. It was now expected that several thousand businesses operated by Orthodox Jews would now be able to stay open on Sunday. The Sev- enth-Day Adventists, who also ob- serve their sabbath on Saturday, also will be helped. Meanwhile, Gov. Rockefeller announced Tuesday he had sign- ed the bill passed by the last legislature extending to the en- tire state the provisions of New York City's Fair Sabbath Law. At the sme time, the governor said he vetoed another measure approved by the legislature which would have left it to local govern- ments to decide whether the Fair Sabbath Law should apply in their communities. .

Non-Commercial TV Approved for Israel, Pending Final Report JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's cabinet approved Monday the es- tablishment of a non-commercial general television service in this country, with programming to be handled by Kol Israel, the govern- ment-owned and operated radio service. It is tentatively scheduled to to launch TV here in 1967. The cabinet's decision was based on a report made by television experts who visited Israel last April under the auspices of the European Broadcasting Union, which was in- vited by Kol Israel to undertake such a survey. The cabinet's approval is still subject to another vote by the cabinet itself, after a further report on the subject by an inter-depart- mental committee, which will ex- amine the economic, cultural and political aspects of a future Israeli TV service. After the cabinet acts on that report, the issue will be submitted to the Knesset for final approval.
