fled the stand of Jewish religious
leaders to Dr. Luther Holcomb,
chairman of the commission. The
guidelines for employers regard-
ing religious discrimination under
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were
issued by the commission on June
14. Under those regulations, an
employer is free to establish a
normal work week which is gen-
erally acceptable to all his em-
ployes. The commission's of-
ficial interpretation explained:
NEW YORK — Federal govern-
ment guidelines regarding religious
discrimination- by employers have
been worded in such a manner
that they, in effect, discriminate
against Orthodox Jews or members
of other minority religious groups,

TRENTON, N. J. — Two Ameri-
can Jewish educators have been
appointed as presidents of two
community colleges in New Jersey.
They are Dr. Richard Green-
field, who had been named to head
Mercer County Community College,
and Dr. Sidney Silverman, ap-
pointed president of the Bergen
County Community College. Both
are from New York.
Dr. Greenfield will go to the
Mercer college from his post as
head of the Sullivan County
(N. Y.) Community College. Dr.
Silverman had been dean of the
Bronx Community College. The
Bergen college is expected to be
the largest facility in New Jersey's
community college program, and
will cost an estimated $10,700,000.
It is scheduled to open December
1968.

BANGOR, Me.—When the veter-
ans of the Palestine Jewish Legion
reunite on the 50th anniversary of
the Balfour Declaration next year,
this city will play a special part,
helping relive a warm memory.
Joseph R. Coupal Jr., city man-
ager and acting mayor of Bangor,
was invited to attend the reunion
Nov. 2, 1967, marking the date of
the historic declaration which
stimulated the formation of the
Jewish Legion in 1918, during
World War I.
The Legion was comprised of
Jewish volunteers from throughout
the United States, who hoped that
by participating in the war, help-
ing drive the Turks from Palestine,
they would thereby hasten the for-
mation of a Jewish homeland.
"For example, an employer
who is closed for business on
Sunday does not discriminate be-
cause he requires all his em-
ployes to be available for work
on Saturday."
Further provisions in the
guideline permit an employer to
close his business on the re-

The rabbis requested Dr. Hol-
comb to revise the guidelines in
such a way that Sabbath observ-
ers might be permitted to observe
their day of rest on Saturdays
without facing dismissal.
Meanwhile, the Council of Or-

relegate Sabbath-observing Jews
