The special meeting was called by the IRS Commis- sioner, Jerome Kurtz, after the IRS received many com- plaints, by mail and at three days of recent hearings, on proposed regulation changes, geared to finding whether a particular non- .public school was guilty of racially discriminatory ad- mission policies anti not entitled to tax exemption. Rabbi Bernard Golden- berg, chairman of the executive committee of Torah Umesorah, the Na- tional Society for Hebrew Day Schools, and Dennis Rapps, executive director of the National Jewish Com- mission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA), appeared for Jewish day schools. The other organizations repre- sented at the hearing were the Council for American Private Education, the Na- tional Association of Inde- pendent Schools, Christian Schools International and Lutheran and Seventh Day Adventist Schools. The issue dates back to July 1970 when the IRS announced guidelines to deny tax exempt status to racially discriminator3r private schools, repor- tedly aimed at academies organized by white par- ents opposed to attendance by their chil- dren at integrated public schools. The guidelines excluded private schools in which student admission policies had no relation to racial considerations, referring specifically to religious schools. The exemption of Jewish and other religious non- public schools was affirmed by a 1975 IRS ruling, but concern of Jewish organ- izations was aroused by what they considered am- biguities in proposed 1978 revenue procedures, as such IRS regulations are called. The 1978 proposals, while specifying that the proposed revisions were not to apply to "church-related and church-operated schools" cited in the 1975 ruling, proposed nevertheless that tax exempt private schools would have to meet "certain affirmative record keeping and publicity requirements along with other guidelines for determining whether schools have recially dis- criminatory policies as to students." The revisions are aimed at private schools in areas in which public schools are being or have been integrated. Under the proposed re- visions, such private schools would be presumed to be discriminatory if their minority enrollment was not at least 20 percent of the local school age minority population, if there had been a substantial increase in white student enrollment which may be related to the integration of the area's public schools. The burden would be on the school to satisfy the IRS that it did not discriminate against minorities. Jewish organizations, concerned that Jewish day schools might be inadver- tently involved, asked to testify at hearings arranged by the IRS for Dec. 4 and extended two days in re- sponse to mounting protests from private schdol groups. To clarify the issue and reinforce the tax exemption for Jewish day schools, two groups of Jewish organiza- tions sent to the hearings in December Martin Cowan, COLPA vice. president, and Nathan Z. Dershowitz, di- rector of the Conimission on Law, Social Action and Urban Affairs of the Ameri- can Jewish Congress. They testified that few blacks, Orientals or members of other minorities in this country are Jewish and therefore very few students at Jewish -religious schools -are members of such minorities. They also testified that the undeniable consistent growth in Jewish day school student populations results from the way such schools are organized, starting usu- ally with a kindergarten and first grade and adding grades annually as pupils prepare for promotion to the next grade. Bar Mitzva Behind Bars STORMSVILLE, N.Y. (JTA) — Rabbi Hirshel Jaffe, the Jewish chaplain at the Green Haven Correc- tional Facility here, re- ported he- recently per- formed a Bar Mitziia at the prison. The ceremony was held Jan. 4 in a chapel sur- rounded by a 30-foot high concrete wall. Tony Romandette, 36 years old, was the Bar Mitzva. He is serving a sentence of 8-25 years for armed robbery. 11W SMALLEST AD BIGGEST DISCOUNTS ON ALL WINDOW COVERINGS HURTIG WINDOW NTERIORS 559-8209 OUR REPUTATION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF FREE ESTIMATES •■•■■ ••=1N HOLIDAY GIVING THE MODERN WAY GIFTS GIFTS ..
