The warning was made in testimony before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary by Ruti Teitel, assistant di- rector of the legal affairs department of the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith. Ms. Teitel asserted that the proposed legislation Senate Bill No. 1059 --- is unconstitutional because it advances religion and would "excessively entangle government in religion." She declared also that, under the guise of provid- ing students and faculty Per Itc*KA.02 rri Eight varieties of Apples squeeze out their ambrosial nectars to form this delight- ful quintessence!

Ms. Teitel told the Sena- tors that it was in recogni- tion of the "special nature of religion" that the Founding Fathers adopted the estab- lishment and free exercise clauses of the First Amendment to build a wall between church and state. She stressed that the bill fails each part of the Sup- reme court's three-part es- tablishment clause test for constitutionality. She said that, first, even the bill's proponents would concede "its primary pur- pose is religious," an objec- tive ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1948. Second, she testified, the effect of the proposed law would be to "imper- missibly advance reli- gion" in the public school setting where the Sup- reme Court, recognizing the vulnerability of school children, has pro- vided "heightened pro- tection" to maintain reli- gious neutrality. Finally, Ms. Teitel said, when prayers and other religious events occur in public schools, "the state is entangled through the use of the compulsory public school machinery," because students are present as cap- tive audiences due to state law which obligates them to be in school. The American Jewish Committee joined the ADL in its opposition to the bill. In a related development, the American Jewish Con- gress, acting on behalf of it- self and five other Jewish organizations, called un- constitutional a New Jersey state law requiring a "mo- ment of silence" in all public schools. In a related action, the AJCommittee, National Council of Churches, ADL and American Jewish Congress have jointly urged the U.S. Supreme Court to bar the city of Pawtucket, R.I., from using a Christmas nativity scene in a city- sponsored holiday dis- play. The groups maintained that the display violates the Constitutional - principle of separation of church and state. In Detroit, the American Civil Liberties Union is suing the suburbs of Bir- mingham and Oak Park to prevent the taxpayer- funded display of religious symbols on public property during Christmas and Hanuka. The ACLU charged that the displays violate the Constitution's First Amendment guarantees against government in- volvement in religion. fr Fridajf,iuguAi, 1983' .
