The Civil Rights Com- mission serves as a national clearing house for civil rights information, sponsor- ing national and regional conferences and consulta- tions as part of its fact- gathering functions. The problem of reli- gious discrimination against minorities in em- ployment was a principal theme of the first day of the hearings on April 9. Problems of prison in- mates of minority groups was discussed at the sec- ond day on April M. Stern indicated there was general agreement that prison administrators are now more sensitive to the religious _rights of inmates, including Jews. Much of the discussion centered around the Jewish dietary laws, but attention was also given to questions of the Sabbath and holy days and to insen- sitivity and a lack of under- standing, intentionally or unintentionally, of prison officials, particularly guards, Stern said.

Several Commission members suggested during the discussion that one solu- tion might be to transfer prisoners of one religion either to one prison or to one section of a prison to minimize the problems, in- cluding security and classification difficulties. Stern responded that the American Jewish Congress was vigorously opposed to such plans, asserting that religion should be irrelevant in the operation of govern- ment programs. He also contended that such a plan would deny to the segregated inmates the full benefits of services available within a prison system. Lifshitz contended that the issues of special diet, waivers of personal appear- ance rules, and holy day ob- servances for minority group prisoners,must not be viewed, as they now often are, as variations from the norm. Rather, he told the com- mission, the question is whether all prisoners will be treated equally in the sense that all will be allowed expression of their religious needs. Testifying as a member of a panel on employment dis- crimination, Rapps said one of the basic problems for religious minorities is that their needs are "widely misunderstood" in the gen- eral community. The COLPA spokesman participated in the hearings as a representative of the Orthodox Jewish commu- nity, on behalf of Agudath Israel of America, the Na- tional Council of Young Is- rael and the Union of Or- thodox Jewish Congrega- tions.

Reveals Details on Jew in Argentina Jail NEW YORK (JTA) — The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Iirith pro- vided details about one of the Jewish prisoners in Argentina. The ADL said its list of approximately 1,000 Argentine Jews consists of both those who have disap- peared and those whom the government acknowledges it is holding in prison. About 60 percent of those on the list have disappeared, the .ADL said. _ The Jewish defense agency said that Jaime Lokman, the auto dealer who was, arrested on the day of the coup, March 24, 1976, was held incommunicado for more than 2 1/2 years in the penitentiary of Cordoba province. He, like other political prisoners in that province, was permitted to see his family only one day a year and no mail was per- mitted. At the end of 1978, he was transferied to Sierra . Chica prison in the prov- ince of Buenos Aires, suf- fering from a heart ail- ment and in danger of be- _ coming paralyzed. Although no charges have been made against Lokman and both tire United States and Israel have offered visas to him, the Argentine government, on March 31, ruled against a habeus corpus appeal filed by Lokman's wife, Judith, the ADL reported. In rejecting the appeal, the government contended that although his alleged "links with terrorism" might not be judicial grounds for conviction, he was nevertheless consid- ered to. be "dangerous."
