NEW YORK — The 'Xionerleart
Jewish Congress rejected" as "ut-

Made by the Agudath Israel of
America that a law brief submit-
ted to the U.S. Supreme Court op-
-posing public funds for parochial
schools was guilty of "smearing
the yeshivot before America's
highest legal tribunal."
In a statement issued by Richard
Cohen, associate- executive direc-
tor, the Congress declared:
"We wonder why Agudath Israel
singled out the American Jewish

Committee for attack when the

"Why Agudath had to launch this
unwarranted and • regrettable at-
tack is beyond us. The American
Jewish Congress has made crystal
dear its firm support of Jewish
education in all fields, including
Jewish day schools. We have pub-
licly and repeatedly urged in-
creased financing of Jewish.educa-
lion by Jewish federations and
welfare funds and by the Jewish
community generally.
"While taking this position we
have also adhered to the view that
day schools can and should be
financed without reliance on gov-
ernment funds. We believe that
such reliance would be destructive
of the independence and religious
character of the schools themselves
and would, at the same time, in-
volve the government in religious
controversy."
