Major American Jewish
groups have Joined a Supreme
Court battle to overthrow So
called blue laws which restrict
Sunday activities in many
States.
A brief attacking such laws
as a violation of the consti-
tutional guarantees of freedom
of religion was filed with the
court yesterday by the Syna-
gogue Council of America and
the National Community Re-
lations Advisory Council. The
latter group includes the
Jewish Community Council of
Greater Washington and 81
similar councils in other cities.
Accepted for Review
The two groups embrace a
number of other Jewish re-
ligious and civic organizations
whose membership includes
most American rabbis and most
members of Jewish congrega-
tions in this country.
Four cases challenging the
conStitutionality of Sunday
laws have been accepted for
review by the court at it's 1860
81 term, which begins in Oc-

Election May Shorten Recession
BY SYLVIA PORTER

The fact that the election Is
over may moderate and shorten
the recession. It could be that
fairly soon Wen start to glimse
the beginning Of its end.
We put one plus into the eco
nomic picture yesterday when
we eliminated the uncertainty
about the election, for uncer-
tainty is always a disturbing
factor. Now we have O Presi-
dent-elect and we know he is
committed to policies to speed
up our economic expansion.
We know that for months
this administration has been
spending increasing AMOUNTS
Of money to curb the downturn
(Which it hasn't yet admitted
exists and it Is going to con-
tinue doing so between now and
Inauguration Day.
We know that in the current
rolling readjustment, lots OF
heavy industries already have
been rolled quite a bit.
2 Forces Reversed
Most important, we know
that two forces which PLAYED a
crucial part in causing this
recession have now been dra-
matically reversed.
This last point is vital, and
1t has been astoundingly un-
derplayed. To get to its heart
let's ask and answer the ques-
ton. why did the economy
suddenly falter in early 1902
The two major reasons for
the timing are:
Cd The spectacular, unpre-
cedented swing in the Federal
budget from deficit to surplus
which placed the Govern.
ment in the position of sub.
tracing billions Of dollars from
the national income and put ar
abrupt brake on demand. In
the last three months Of 1885
the Federal budget was $4.s
billion in the red, meaning the
Government put that much
more into the economy than il
took out in taxes. In the first
three months of 1860, the bud.
get was $4.4 billion in the
black, meaning the Govern
ment took that much more out
than it put in. That's a SEN
sational switch in spending Of
almost 50 billion in a few
months! There is no switch
comparable to it on record and
it explains in large part why
the economy began slowing
down at precisely that time.

of credit in 1859 by the Federal
Reserve System to curb imitation

al to get eight gallons Of tea
from a single pound.
Incidentally, the consump-
ton OF Java, almost o generic
word for coffee, is relatively
small these days. A strong, full
bodied variety, it's now used
mostly as an ingredient in
blends. II you bought 1t straight,
