NEW YORK (JTA)—A
federal distric't court in
Memphis has upheld the po-
sition of the Tennessee em-
ployment security depart-
ment which refused to allow
an Orthodox Jewish woman
resident of Memphis to take
a civil service examirration
on a day other than the
Jewish Sabbath.
Mrs. Glenda Kantor is ap-
pealing the lower court rul-
ing to the federal Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Cir-
cuit in Cincinnati.
A joint friend of the court
brief has been filed in sup-
port of the appeal by the
National Jewish Commis-
sion on Law and Public Af-
fairs (COLPA) and the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith.
Mrs. Kantor's attorney
chose not to file under the
1972 amendment to the 1964
Civil Rights Act which pro-
vides that an employer
must seek to "reasonably
acconunodate" the religious

vant employe or prospective
employe unless to do so
would result in " undue
hardship" to the employer's
business. COLPA drafted
the 1972 amendment.
Instead, he chose to con-
tend that the refusal by the
state agency to give Mrs.
Kantor the test on a day
other than-her Sabbath vio-
lated her constitutional
rights to the free exercise of
her religion.

He thinks he can hear a

sneeze.
