U.S. Employees
Helped by Bill
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Senate approved by
voice vote and sent to
President Carter Monday a
bill previously adopted by
the House which will permit
Sabbath-observing civil
service workers to take time
off for religious observance
without penalty.
Under existing regula-
tions, such federal workers
must have time off deducted
either from vacation time or
from their salaries.
The measure, introduced
by Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.),
was approved last March by
the House by a vote of 288-
57. The federal Employe
Pay Act requires overtime
pay for federal employes
working more than eight
hours a day.
A Civil Service Commis-
sion ruling held that the
overtime requirement
applied to Sabbath-
observing federal workers
seeking to make up time by
working more than eight
hours, despite their
willingness to waive over-
time pay.
After the ruling, a
number of federal agencies
refused to permit such time
to be made up by extra
work, forcing Sabbath ob-
servers to take the. time off
from vacation or salaries.

Summit Hostility
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Andrew Young, the United
States Ambassador to the
United Nations, says there
appears to be less hostility
among diplomats at the UN
to the results of the Camp
David talks than there was
when Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat visited
Jerusalem last November.
"I don't get the negative
attitude and the condemna-
tion of the effort that I got
around the UN at the time
of President Sadat's trip,"
Young said in an interview
on CBS-TV's "Morning
News."
Young said diplomats at
the UN were less optimistic
than American officials
about the agreements
reached by Sadat, President
Carter and Israeli Premier
Menahem Begin because
they "are very aware of the
risks of peace at the UN.
Sometimes we forget the
risks of war."

Even Exchange?
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
(JTA) — President Carter,
addressing a steel workers
convention Sept. 20, said
jokingly: "Late Saturday
night (Israeli) Prime Minis-
ter (Menahem) Begin came
to me and said I'll agree to
get out of the Sinai if you'll
let me out of Camp David."
Two placards in the large
hall stated: "Thank you
President Carter for your
peace efforts at Camp
David." Carter's reference
to the summit was
applauded.
A man should not hide all
his money in one corner.
