Jewish residents of Washing
ton and visitors to the area filled
synagogues and temples for Yom
Kippur, the Day of Atonement,
services today.
Yom Kippur, hottest day of the
Jewish year, began at shutdown
yesterday and ends at shutdown
today. 1t is a 24-hour period of
fasting and prayer and climaxes
10 days of penitence which began
with Rosh Hashonah, the Day of
Judgment.
The moral implications of Yom
Kippur and of religion were
stressed in sermons by Washing
ton area rabbis last night.
Rabbi David H. Panitz of Adas
Israel Congregation warned that
individuals or nations who trans
gress the moral and ethical
commandments will experience
suffering, mental anguish and
loss OF reputation.
Sees New Tension
"When States and communi-
ties seek to negate the decision
of the highest court of the land,
Increased tension and deepen
ling human relations problems
must follow" Rabbi Panitz as
serted. when a nation fails to
provide sufficient facilities and
personnel for the education Of
its young, the weakening Of the
country may be expected. -.
when America failed to up
hold the right of Israel to the
use of the Suez Canal despite a
strong United Nations censure
of Egypt several years ago, our
Government lost it's moral posi-
tion to offer effective resistance
to Col. Nasser in the present
crisis"
INdObl NOlLlictl4 OCIOtCIlASAA
told worshipers at the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation:
THE jew who knows his past
will face the trials of our day
with humility and with a sense
of destiny. He knows that
every emergency in Jewish
history has meant the onward
lemergence Of the Jewish soul
|. (He) knows that another
seeming defeat for the Jew is
only the prelude to another
ascent into a higher cycle of
Jewish life and of new blessing
to humanity"

IBRUNDAGE DEFIANT IN DEFENSE
Olympic Group PoIIed
On Its Amateur Pledge

CHICAG, Aug. 4 (P.-Avery
Brundage, president of the In
ternational Olympic Committee,
issued a formal statement today
defiantly defending the new
amateur pledge which threatens
to rule some athletes out of the
1856 Olympic games in Australia
However, Brundage now is in
the process of polling the IOC
on a United States Olympic
Committee protest against the
pledge
A furore has developed over
the pledge for Olympic contest
ants, who now must swear, on
their honor that they will remain
amateurs after the games. Prev
iously, a similar pledge required
only a personal assertion Of cur
rent amateur status.
Brundage, in a lengthy state
ment. asserted the new rule lin
wolves no change in Olympic
rules whatsoever" and was de-
signed to help the various Ma
tional Olympic Committees
screen out those who do not be-
long in the Olympic games"
Deferment Sought
The statement admitted, how
ever, that the United States
Olympic Committee has pro-
tested the new "anti-pro" pledge
and asked for its deferment be-
cause several Of, this country's
olympic teams already have been
selected. K. L. (Tug) Wilson,
United States Olympic presi-
dent, disclosed Thursday he had
made a Every strong" protest to
Brundage. Wilson would not
comment on Brundage's latest
statement.
Brundage said the protests was
being sent to IOC Executive
Committee members "in a half
dozen cities around the world"
Brundage estimated it might re-
Iquire about 20 days before re-
plies were received. He said a
majority decision on rejection or
acceptance Of the protest would
prevail. This would still be well

However, Brundage left no

games to be honest and say so, u
