iifl Protects Bights ©f Jewish Voters Albany, N. Y. (JTA)—The New York State Assembly has passed and sent to the Senate a bill to insure that' Jewish voters in New York state will not be deprived of n chance to register because of religious date conflicts. The bill was created to prevent such situations as the one which occurred in Westchester County last year when much of the designated period for local registration coincided with a Jewish holy day and the Jewish Sabbath. The measure notes that the fifth Thursday before election day this year, a day for registration in most localities, falls on Rosh Hashana. The bill asks that the pool day be shifted to the filth Tuesday.
