Local Religious, Civic Leaders Sign
Appeal to Fulbright to Call for
Hearings on Human Rights Treaties

The Michigan Ad Hoc Committee
on the Human Rights and Genocide
Treaties Tuesday transmitted to
Sen. J. William Fulbright, chair-
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, petitions signed
by over 458 religious and civic
leaders urging the Senate Commit-
tee to hold hearings on four inter-
national human rights treaties
dealing with genocide, slavery,
forced labor and the political
rights of women. Heading the list
was Archbishop John E. Dearden.
In the letter of transmittal, Rev.
Tracy Pullman, chairman of the
Michigan Ad Hoc Committee, a
grouping of 25 religious, civic and
labor organizations, pointed out
that the failure of the Senate For-
eign Relations Committee to ratify
the genocide treaty — despite en-
dorsement by its own subcommit-
tee in 1950 — and the failure to
hold hearings on the remaining
treaties — despite the urging of

Jewish Draftees
May Be Deferred
During Passover

The National Jewish Welfare
Board's commission on Jewish
chaplaincy has received an official
communication from Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, director of the Selective
Service System, announcing that
all draft boards have been request-
ed to give "favorable considera-
tion, wherever possible," to re-
quests of registrants of the Jew-
ish faith for postponements of
physical examination or induction
into the Armed Forces during
Passover.
This communication, addressed
to Rabbi Selwyn D. Ruslander,
Dayton, 0., chairman of the JWB
commission on Jewish chaplaincy,
was Selective Service Operations
Bulletin No. 81, entitled "Jewish
Holy Days." The bulletin gives
Jewish registrants scheduled for
physical examination or induction
between sundown April 4 and sun-
down April 12 the right to re-
quest deferment until after Pass-
over. Requests for such deferment
should be made directly to local
draft boards.
Passover begins at sundown
April 4 and continue through sun-
down of April 12.

President Kennedy in 1963—"raises
grave questions about the good
faith of the United States in the
field of international human
rights."
Dr. Pullman went on to ask:
"How can we explain or justify,
to other nations or to our own
citizens, our signing of solemn
treaties in the United Nations and
the failure to put them into force
and effect by ratification in the
United States Senate?"

Dr. Pullman noted that a re-
cent White House Conference on
International Cooperation urged
ratification of these treaties and
further noted that the Michigan
Democratic State Central Com-
mittee and the Detroit Common
Council urged similar action.

The Michigan Ad Hoc Commit-
tee has also written to Senators
Hart and McNamara, urging them
to publicly endorse and do all in
their power to secure ratification
of these treaties.

The Ad Hoc Committee's affiliated
organizations are local groups of the
following:
American Civil Liberties Union;
American Jewish Committee; American
Jewish Congress; Americans for Demo-
cratic Action; Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith; Archbishops Committee
