Newark Jewish Officers Get Preferred Treatment, Officer Tells Court

TRENTON, N.J. (JTA)—A New-
ark police sergeant complained in
New Jersey Supreme Court that
the policy of giving Jewish police-
men time off for religious holidays
without loss of pay was discrimina-
tory against non-Jewish members
of the force.
Sgt. Joseph A. Ebler, a police-
man for 22 years, said that Newark
police get 12 paid holidays a year
and any additional time off is
charged against their accrued over-
time pay. But the city's 50 Jewish
policemen receive an additional six
religious holidays off without hav-
ing to give up any overtime pay.
As a result they earn $200 more per
year than non-Jewish police, he
said.
Sgt. Ebler said the City of New-
ark, Essex County and the State of.

New Jersey "have no business
getting involved in religion." Jus-
tice John J. Francis said the policy
was "discriminatory on its face."
Assistant Newark Corporation
Counsel Sanford Schneider said
certain "benefits accrue to Jewish

personnel" but he rejected the
argument that government should
remain "absolutely neutral". in re-
ligious matters. He said this would
result in "absolute chaos." The
court has taken the case under ad-
visement.

. tWallace Movement
Still Around, Even if
the Man Gets Lost'

I- Even if George Wallace, as a
personality, should disappear from
the political scene, his movement
will still constitute a substantial
political force to be reckoned with
in America, the American Jewish
Committee states in a report, "The
Wallace Movement—a Post Elec-
tion Appraisal," by Milton Ellerin,
director of the AJC's trends analy-
Ms division.
He points out that Wallace's
American Independent Party today
has ongoing organizations in 26
States. Despite its repudiation by
the overwhelming majority of
Americans, this party did achieve
what Ellerin calls "a minor poli-
tical miracle" in that the party
wronged for the ballot in all 50
states in the 1968 election.
Today, as during the campaign,
bard-core racists and extremists
are gathering under these umbrel-
las for national and local political
activities, Ellerin adds.

Crown

Heights Woos
Jews Back Into Area

NEW YORK (JTA)—A new pro-
gram of the Crown Heights Jewish-
Community Council to find housing
to the Brooklyn area for Jewish
families displaced by urban re-
newal projects in other parts of the
eits. placed 18 such families in
apartments during its first three
weeks, Dr. A. I. Wolf, the JCC
resident, reported.
' The project was described as
Significant not only in helping to
Meet the housing needs of dispos-
iessed families but also as part of
long-range effort by the JCC to
stem an exodus of Jewish families
from Crown Heights in recent
years.
JCC officials, fearing that
Crown Heights would suffer the
fate of once flourishing Jewish
neighborhoods which have lost
Most of their Jewish residents,
Paunched an effort last year to
bring about a decrease in crime in
the streets typical of poor sections.
Crown. Heights is one of the 25
city-designated poverty areas.
