Release Time No Solution
For Illiteracy In u. S.

NEW YORK (JPS) - The
necessity for a separation of
church and state in the field Of
public education was stressed this
week by DIR. MOshe Davis, dean
of the Teachers Institute and Col
lege of Jewish Studies at the
Jewish Theological Seminary of
America, and by Leo Pfeffer, as
sistant director of the Commits
sion on Law and Social Action in
his pamphlet, Religion and the
Public Schools" published by the
Office of Jewish Information of
the American Jewish Congress.
Speaking at the second annual
Rabbinical Assembly conference
on education. DR.. Davis also dis
cussed Jewish education, stating
that the Jewish school is compile
mentary to and not competitive
with the general education of the
student.
Released public school time for
religious education has not in any
Improbable extent met the prob
lem of the growing religious IL
Iiteracy of American youth. Mr..
Pfeffer states in his pamphlet,
based upon an exhaustive and OBJ
jective study of the actual Oper-
atiOns of the released time plan
over a thirty-five-year span.
Mr.. Pfeffer's conclusions in
clude the following:
1. Released time represents a
threat to the American principle
of the separation of church and
state, particularly, but not limit
ed to programs involving using of
public school classrooms for the
released time classes. BY bring
| ing religious differences into the
public school, the program is
divised influence, and in actual
practice frequently promotes in
ter-religious friction and dishar-
mony.
2. Public school authorities are
often guilty of proselytizing and
other forms of unfair pressure up
on children and parents to obtain
enrollments in the religious class
es.
8. Jewish children occasionally
attend Christian classes regularly
for fear of disclosing their diff
ferences of religious belief.
4. The extent of religious in
struction which can be impaired
in the very limited time allotted
under the program is negligible.
Moreover, there is a grave danger
that the program may defeat it's
own purpose in that parents may
assume that released time in
struction is an adequate substi-
tute for regular after hour or
Sunday school religious instruc-
ton.

AS the second session of the
SOth Congress prepares to meet,
enc of the urgent problems on its
dO0rsteps is that of the immi-
grafton of displaced persons.
Both the Senate and the House
will be occupied with this quest
ion. The Senate Subcommittee
on immigration, which visited
Europe and DIP centers this past
fall, is now scheduled to make its
report to the Judiciary Commit
tee on February 10. This is
month later than originally PLAN
ned, but at the close of the past
session, Senator Chapman Rever-
comb, Republican of West Vir-
ginia, and chairman of the sub
committee, asked for the extern
sion of time on the grounds that
the mass material acquired need
ed more time for working over.
He received unanimous consent.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken to prevent any seepage
of the attitude of committee men,
bers or the recommendations the
report will contain.
From past statements and act
ions, it is fair to assume that
Democratic Senators j. Howard
Of Rhode Island and John S.
Cooper of Kentucky will look fav-
Orably upon the entrance of the
DPS to the United States, and
that Senator RevercOmb will not,
unless he considerably changes his
Views In q report on previous
trip to Europe, which included
q quick lOOk-see at a few camps
for Jewish displaced persons, the
Senator expressed himself fOrcib-
" against their immigration to
this country, as unfit for Ameri-
can citizenship. Where Republi-
can Senator Forrest Donnell of
Missouri and Democratic Senator
Fat McCarran of Nevada will
stand, remains to be seen. Re-
publican Senator H. Alexander
smith of New Jersey was attach
Ed to the subcommittee as a rep
reSentative of the Foreign Re-
latiOns Committee and is believed
10 be generally sympathetic to
entrance of DPS. Democratic
senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia
represented the Armed Services
committee, and his views are
sui to be made known.
The House Sub Committee on
immigration, under the chairman
snip of Representative Frank Eel
lows Republican of Maine, held
extensive hearings at the last ses-
S'On OF Congress on the Stratton
Oil to admit 100000 displaced
persons over a period of four
years. No report was, however,
made to the full Judiciary Com
'"i'tee. Meanwhile, the hearings
''0ilg heavy in committee files. AS
LAT as the Stratton Bill is con-
'erned' the Judiciary Committee
4'y wait for a report, or send
Fne Bill out to the House.
