THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Arens Hits Lebanese Army Performance -(Continued from Page 1) _ In his appearance be- fore the Knesset panel, Arens said that in a few instances, such as the battle for the Lebanese Christian stronghold of Souk Al-Gharb, ter- - rorists fought alongside athe Druze. But the Druze did not allow them to re- main in the territory they took from the Lebanese army. He noted that the Druze and Shiites enjoy . the support of the local population. Arens said Israel did not oppose the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) as an element in the security of south Leba- non. But he pointed out that UNIFIL could operate only with the consent of all par- ties concerned.

Dennis Rapps, executive director of the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA), said one de- velopment was the action of the state of Connecticut in filing a motion on Feb. 10 in support of COLPA's petition for certiorari in the Sup- reme Court. Certiorari is a petition for review. The petition by COLPA, with which the American Jewish Congress is associ- ated, was filed with the high court by Nathan Lewin, a Washington attorney and COLPA vice president; on behalf of Donald Thornton, who was a manager for one of the Caldor chain stores in Connecticut. The other development is a petition for a similar writ of certiorari for Thornton filed with the Supreme Court by the federal Department of Justice. Rapps told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that, given the intervention for the plaintiff by both the at- torney general of Connec- ticut and the federal sol- icitor general, the possibil- ity that the Supreme Court would decline to consider the appeal for Thornton was highly unlikely. On the COLPA brief with Lewin are listed Rapps and Daniel Chazin, COLPA general counsel; and Lois Waldman and Marc Stern, acting director and assis- tant director, respectively, of the AJCongress legal staff. According to the peti- tions, when Thornton asked to be excused from working on Sundays, the Caldor management offered to transfer him to a store in Massachusetts or to demote him. Thornton rejected the out-of-state transfer pro- posal. He sued Caldor under a 1976 revision of the state's Sunday laws, specifiying no employe could be required to work on his or her Sab- bath.
