NCRAC Rejects School Shared-Time Plan
CINCINNATI—Jewish commu¬ nity and religious leaders this week overwhelmingly rejected the plan oE shared-time which would oEfer public school facllitleB to pupils ot parochial schools.
Thia position was taken on the final day of the 19th Plenary Ses¬ sion of the National Community Relations Advisory Council at the Terrace   Hilton   Hotel,
THE COUNCIL comprises abc national jowish secular and reli¬ gious organizations and 62 local Jewish community coiuncils In this country. It includes repre¬ sentation from Orthodox, Con¬ servative   and   Reform   Judaism
Dr.   David   G.   Salten,   superin¬
tendent ot schools. New Rochelle, I N.Y., urged the Jewish leaders to carefully consider and study the proposal on the grounds 'that "any plan which minimizes the ten¬ dency toward social stratification and promises some re-education In Inter-tellgloua conflict deSferves the most painstaking considera¬ tion by religious and educational leaders."
SHABED-TBUE Is a proposal for the voluntary sharing of sehool time of children between the public school and the paro¬ chial  school.
Youngsters would be able to learn sUch subjects as industrial arts,   mathematics,   science,   and
languages in a public school. In i addition to religion, such sub- iects as Engish and Social Stu¬ dies could be taught in the reli¬ giously  centered  schools.
NCRAC OHAntMAN l,ewl8 H. Weinsteln ot Boston, re-elected to office, summarized tbe view¬ point   of   most   delegates:
"While shared time may not violate the constitutional separa¬ tion between church and state, it would Impair and, in the end, vitiate our American public school system," he  said.
Weinstein doubted that the shared-tljne proposal would re¬ solve the heated controversy over
government     aid     to     parochial schools.
"There Is no reason to expect that those who have been demand¬ ing inclusion of parochial schools in a federal aid program would withdraw their demands just be¬ cause a few communities adopt the  new plan."
Resolutions  adopted;
• Charged President Kennedy with a pieco-moal approach to civil rights and accused the 87th Congress of inaction in this field.
• Called upon Congress for legislation to eliminate literacy tests and poll tEixes, establish a federal    fair    emiployment    prac¬
tices commission, assist sehool districts complying with deseg¬ regation, empower the attorney general to take action against violation of constitutional guar¬ antees of equality and perma¬ nently establish the Civil Rights Commission.
• Urged the United States to be the "vanguard of world opinion in pressing for an Arab-Israel peace."
• Asked the government to oppose discrimination by Arab states against American Jews and urged requirement of presidential progress reports on elimination of such bias by countries receiv¬ ing U.S.  aid.
• Affirmed support of the United Nations.
• Denounced the radical right, and noted that its methods are firmly rejected by an overwhelm¬ ing majority of the American people.
• Demanded that where Sun¬ day closing laws exist, they should exempt those persons whose re¬ ligion compels them to observe a day other than Sunday as a religious   day   of   rest.
• Opposed federal aid to public elementary and secondary Bchools under religious control on thO ground that It would tend to un¬ dermine religious freedom and separation   of  church   and  state.
