It cannot be made so by the cruel device of telling them that they are allowed to brand them- selves as pariahs by leaving the classroom, or by staying there and remaining con- spicuously silent." But Siegel asserted "there has been a long tradition of including some form of public prayer in the public school." Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) declared that the amendment "does not impose prayer on anyone. It does not force any child to par- ticipate or even listen to prayer." Sen. Howard Metzen- baum, (D-Ohio) declared the proposal would "do vio- lence to the time-honored recognition of the separa- tion between church and state. It is very easy to wave the flag and it is also very easy to be moralistic and emphasize religiosity. You don't create morality by having prayer in schools." The Rev. Dean Kelley of the National Council of Churches said the amend- ment, proposed again by President Reagan in May, was "unjust, unwise and unnecessary." He said it would make "the rights of members of religious minorities dependent on the self-restraint of religious majorities."

Robert Dugan, Jr. of the National Association of Evangelicals testified that, on different days, "you would have a Jewish child praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you would have a Roman Catholic student praying in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, you would have an evangelical student pray- ing to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." Representatives of the Southern Baptist Council and the Lutheran Council also testified against the proposed amendment. On Tuesday, President Reagan told a Catholic audience that he was in favor of the proposed amendment, as well as tax credits for private school tuition. The President was speak- ing to a national meeting of the Knights of Columbus in Hartford, Conn. He also ad- vocated an end to "this na- tional tragedy of abortion on demand." 1111 ■ 1111 TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is- raeli newspapers said the Defense Ministry has pre- pared a list of broadcasters who should be barred from appearing on or working for Galei Tzahal, the Armed Forces radio station, be- cause of their opposition or criticism of the war in Lebanon. Some of the men and women concerned are per- manent staffers or contract employees, while others are doing their army reserve service with the radio sta- tion. Knesset member Ora Namir, chairman of the Knesset Education and Cul- ture Committee, said her committee will take up the matter as, although the radio station is under the jurisdiction of the Defense Ministry, the educational and cultural content of its programs come within the province of the Knesset Education Committee. Galei Tzahal is a spin-off of the British Mandatory period when British soldiers, serving far from home, had entertainment provided in their own lan- guage by a special radio sta- tion in the Middle East, similar to the American armed forces program in Europe. JERUSALEM (JTA) — About 700 Druze leaders from the Hassbay and Shuf areas in Lebanon met with thousands of Israeli Druze at their holy place — Nabi Shueb in the Galilee. This is the first time since 1947 that such a meeting took place. 'VA 41101 plige 40 site .14, ■ `.4- , 'ta ■ i 54 ,4it it. sit 46. JERUSALEM (JTA) — President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, in a cable to °Pre- mier Menahem Begin, urged that both countries should intensify their ef- forts to implement the Camp David accords and to intensify efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East. The cable was in response to a message of greetings by Begin to Mubarak on the oc- casion of the Moslem holi- day of Id Al Fitr and the 30th anniversary of the overthrow of King Farouk. The Egyptian President stressed that peace was a noble goal and that the peace process between Egypt and Israel should not be affected, although it has slowed down as a result of the war in Lebanon.
