Jewish Groups Laud Johnson's Vole Stand New York (JTA) — National Jewish organizations, and local Jewish c o m m u n i t y councils throughout the country, endorsed this week President Johnson's moves for enactment of federal legislation to protect all citizens, Negro and white, in their right to vote. The National Community Relations Advisory, Council, sent a telegram to the President, commending him on his new civil rights steps, Morris B. Abrani, president of the American Jewish Committee, wired a message to the President, stating that the AJC "hails your call to Congress in your eloquent message for. legislation to insure the vote for every American, N e g r o and white." The Jewish Labor Committee telegraphed the President: "Congratulations on your truly inspiring address. It was a worthy response to the challenge of Selma."
New York (JTA)—The American Association for Jewish Education has denounced the MorsePerkins bill, the Administration's aid to education measure as "antagonistic to the best interests of this country." The AAJE made its criticism in a letter to the Senate Education Committee, criticizing provisions "which under the' guise of alleviating deprivation, would extend aid trf private and parochial schools." The AAJE also criticized provisions for shared time use of public and parochial schools. It called both provisions "less obvious violations of the separation of Church and state." The AAJE said that it did not know of any school d i s t r i c t where the shared time idea had shown "meaningful workability." It said this provision would give private groups, religious and others, "an official and sanctioning role in determining what shall be taught in the p u b l i c school," which it called a requirement for "intrusion" of religious groups into public education. Tho AAJE said that shared time "creates a sense of religious division because blocs of chldlren from parochial schools ore sent for instruction in the

Jerusalem . . . "They key to Israel's security is in the hands of the American government" President Zalman Shazar of Israel told a visiting Ameican Jewish Committee delegation this week, "And one of the keys to that key" Mr. Shazar said, "lies in the political weight of Jewish public opinion in the United States and in the aid
public schools as independent units." It said it was "shocking" that tho Congress would "legislate so rashly." Alternate Plan The AAJE proposed an alternative plan under vhich^public education would be available to all in public facilities in the morning. When the r e q u i r e d common curriculum was completed, parents of all students would have several options at their own expense. One would be to enroll their children in non-public schools, religious or other. Another would be to have their children a t t e n d special classes in public schools for gifted children or remedial purposes, or other needs. This proposal would relieve the religious school of the costs of subjects other than religious education. Parents who did not want religious education for their children would have the chance to give their children any special training. Public schools would not be involved in sharing time with religious authorities who in turn would not determine content of tho public school curriculum. • Finally, said the AAJE, children would attend classes as individuals.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hahn, members of the American Jewish Committee delegation visiting in Israel met with President Shazar last week as well as with Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, Former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and other Israeli leaders. At a luncheon meeting with Minister of Social Welfare, Dr. Joseph Burg, the delegation participated in a frank exchange of views on the question of religion and state in Israel. In his first letter to the Jewish Press Mr. H a h n wrote: "Israel—where do I start describing it! The people, the attitudes, the optimism are amazing."

IJy Carl Alpert Haifa—As in so many other tilings, Israel is a land of extremes in matters pertaining to the care and welfare of homeless or unwanted children. On the one hand, the regulations sind procedures governing adoption of babies are progressive, thorough, efficient. And on the ether liand, Israel may be one of the last of the enlightened countries of the West which still has a liberal share of so-called orpnn asylums, 100 Babies Yearly Israel's adoption law was passed about three years ago. The Ministry of Social Welfare is charged with responsibility for recommending the placcmenl of a child, and the courts then certify the legal adoption. There is one address and central responsibility. Administration is by experienced, understanding social workers. About a hundred babies a year are placed. Since the demand exceeds the supply, the staff is extremely careful before making recommendations, and the investigations may often lake many montln. Even after assignment of the child, the new parents-must pass a trial period of six months, failing which the adoption may be annulled. •Free Trips Abroad' There are frequent requests from childless families abroad, but these are never filled. It is considered c o n t r a r y to the child's interest', and against national policy as well, to send children out of the country. However, a way has been found to circumvent this ban. Someone from abroad who is willing to go to any expense to obtain a Jewish child will arrange to give a pregnant mother a free trip to Europe or even the U. S. They will maintain her there until she gives birth, following which she returns to Israel. In this way she h a s not violated any law; she h a s not taken a baby out of the country! Reports have it that t h e experience is a harrowing one, and there have been a. number of cases of suicide thereafter on the part of these girls, brought on by depression. •» Secret Files Only one provision of the adoption law has aroused the opposition of the Social workers, nnd they a r e struggling to have it changed. At the time of ndoplion and thereafter the courts w>al the name of the natural mother (and father if he is known) in the secret file of the child. The name may never b e revealed t o the foster parents nor to anyone else—except to the child himself when he reaches the a g e of 18. The
