(CONTINUED ON PAGE <t) WASHINGTON (JTA)- President Reagan's firing of three members of the United States Commission on.Civil Rights and naming three, others to replace them has put four Jewish organizations, all of them with long established records in the civil rights movement, in the midst of. an impassioned national debate. The controversy hasstaken on an additional dimension for the Jewish groups since one of the nominees is Morris Abram, former presi- «- dent of the American Jewish Committee and of Brandeis University and a New York lawyer who fought for civil rights in his native Georgia in the 1960s. Reagan has argued that he has a right to replace three commission members, Mary Frances Berry, Rabbi Mur- 'ray Saltzman and Blandina Cardenas Ramirez, as he had two other members of the commission. He has charged that the opposition is due to the rejection by his three nominees of quotas as a remedy for discrimination against Blacks, women and other minority groups. Civil rights groups, however, have charged that Reagan is seeking to undermine the independence of the com- mission which has frequently criticized his policies on civil rights. Differences Between The Jewish Groups ' All the Jewish groups oppose quotas. But they differ in the present controversy.
