Friday, September 23, 1966-7 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Fired Teachers File Unfair Labor Charge; Faculty Joins Protests On Wednesday, two dis- charged Shaarey Zedek teachers filed an unfair labor practices charge against the congregation with the State Labor Mediation Board. They charge that they were fired to discourage the proper functioning of the school's re- cently formed teachers' association _-- "and the coercion of association members on the eve of an elec- tion for the designation of a bargaining agent for the Hebrew teachers of Shaarey Zedek." Harvey Weisberg, chairman of the synagogue's education committee, informed The Jewish News on Wednesday that a meet- ing of his committee was called for Thursday (Sept. 22) night to review the situation. Meanwhile, a demand has been issued by all of the Shaarey Zedek teachers. in a signed statement ad- dressed to Weisberg, for an im- mediate "total recision of the act" of dismissal. The statement, signed by 21 teachers, denied the validity of the charges against their col- leagues — Sol Panush and Jacob Gilany — and instead praised the two men, who hold the offices of president and vice president of the teachers' association, as having "demonstrated their integrity and devotion to Jewish education." The Panush and Gilany names do not appear on the signed message to Weisberg. The Shaarey Zedek teachers who signed their demand for the re- instatement of the discharged men are: Leah Kar, Samuel Reiman, A. Grossbard, Moshe Grossbard, Majer Swiatlo, Ruth Murciano, Tsiporah Rees, Alisa Melner, Ger- aldine Levit, Janet Pont, Rachel Kaplan, "Adina Sod-Moriah, Drora Kleinplatz, Israel Hochberg, Manya Auster, Yoran Dahav, Eve- lyn Klein, Dov Parshan, Nili Katz, Albert J. Burke and Betty Lehrman. The Shaarey Zedek teachers declare in their statement that "the professional status and se- curity of teachers and the ele- mentary rights of a human being to a fair hearing" was under- mined by the action of dismissal of two pioneer teachers. At the same time, other teach- ing staffs of local Jewish schools filed protests against the dis- missals of the two teachers on Sept. 12. It was indicated that the contracts of the two fired teachers, with increases in salaries, were renewed on Sept. 2. In behalf of the Hebrew Teach- ers Association of Metropolitan Detroit, a protest against the dis- missals was filed over the signa- tures of all the members of the association's executive committee — Hugo Apt, Shoshana Bank, Jo- seph Bares, Menachem Glaser, Rae Goodman, Meyer Mathis, Rab- bi Charles Rosenzweig and Marcia Segall. A protest was issued in behalf of the Congregation Bnai David Teachers Association over the signatures of 13 members of that congregation's teaching staff. Urging "immediate reinstate- ment of these two teachers," the teachers of the Hillel Day School similarly issued a protest. That statement was signed by 26 of the Hillel teachers. The names of several ordained rabbis are among the signatories to these protests. The teaching staffs' protests emphasize that Hebrew teachers have a right to organize and charge that such organizational efforts had led to the dismissal of the two teachers. Weisberg expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved at the meeting of his committee called for last night.

Israel Seeks Ways to Halt Demonstrators On Sabbath Traffic JERUSALEM (JTA) . — Moshe Kol, minister for tourism, confer_ red with Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek and other top members of the municipality's administration on ways to halt the demonstra- tions conducted here against traf- fic on the Sabbath. The demonstrators, all of them ultra-religious Jews, were particu- larly active here last weekend, when traffic was very heavy, with thousands of tourists flocking to various hisIoric and national shrines throughout this area. At least two persons were hurt in stone-throwing actions Saturday. One of the injured was a British woman who was hurt by flying glass when a stone broke a window of a bus in which she was a pas- senger, near the Mandelbawn Gate. A taxi driver was hit by a stone while driving through a sec- tion of the city inhabited largely by religious zealots. Kol appealed to the Sabbath demonstrators to halt their actions which, he said, hurt Israel's image abroad. Kollek and other members of his city administra- tion said they would launch an educational campaign directed to- ward the Sabbath demonstrators.
