WASHINGTON - The American
Jewish Congress has thrown its
support behind President Kennedy
on the issue of limiting federal ed
ucation aid at the elementary and
secondary levels to public schools.
A spokesman for the Jewish
group told a Senate subcommittee
conducting hearings on the federal
aid-to-education bill that the use of
government funds for church-sup-
ported schools would violate the
traditional American separation OF
church and state.
At the same time, Rabbi Balfour
Brickner of Washington declared,
the independence of the very reli-
gious groups that receive such aid
would be threatened.
RABBI BRICKNER, spiritual
leader of Temple Sinai in Washing
ton, testified before a subcommit-
tee of the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee in support OF
the Presidents aid-to-education
bill.
Rabbi Brickner warned that
"Once public funds are made
available for religious schools, con-
flict and rivalry will inevitably fol
low among the various sects as to
how the funds are to be divided. F"
! This would put federal officials

responsible for making the loans
under "unceasing pressure" from
religious groups, he predicted, add
ing:
Disappointed applicants would
exert every effort to elect or seek
the appointment of members OF
their faith on whom they could rely
for generous treatment.
1--WE might then have in this
country a Catholic Party, an Epis-
copalian Party, a Jewish Party and
other sectarian political groups. In
fact, Catholic Party was actually
organized in the U.S. in 1841 for
the very purpose of demanding
public support for parochial
schools"
Another example cited was the
recent organization of a Catholic
Party in Puerto Rico.
Rabbi Brickner warned against
the view that long-term, low-inter-
est loans would not constitute gov
ernment aid.
'IOANS WOULD hardly be
sought if they were not form OF
aid," he stated. "It is aid that the
parochial schools are seeking, aid
that they cannot obtain elsewhere
aid that they can only get from the
unsupported federal treasury.

Leaders TO Join
Israel Bond Meet

NEW YORK - DR.. Joseph j.
Schwartz, vice president of the Is
rael Bond Organization, announced
that community leaders in the Unit
ed States and Canada would par
ticipate il National Leaders Con-
ference in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
from July 25 through Aug. 3. The

paign.
The Israel Bond conference will
meet in Israel in response to an
invitation from Prime Minister Ben
Gurion and Finance Minister Levi
Eshkol.
GAS we reach the milestone of the
tenth anniversary of Israel Bonds,
the leaders of the Government of
Israel are eager to meet with
American and Canadian Jewish
leaders to review the achievements
of the past decade and to discuss
how best to meet the country's fu-
ture development needs" Schwartz
declared.
In addition to conferences with
ISraePS top experts in the various
branches of government, the dele
gates will make a survey of the
new development frontier in the
Negev, which will be the arena for
large-scale growth and settlement,
to be financed in great measure by
Israel Bonds.
Ell AL Boeing jets will fly the con-
ference delegates to Israel.
Inquiries regarding the Israel
conference may be addressed to the
national headquarters of the Israel
Bond Organization at 215 Park Ave-
nue. South, New York 8, or to local
offices of the campaign.
People of all creeds in the Phoe-
nix, Tucson, Albuquerque, FL Paso
and Las Vegas area last year
bought $465, 900 worth of Israel
Bonds. This year area residents
have bought 500 800 worth of bonds,
in the Bar Mitzvah year and in
keeping with the spirit of Pass

Saudi Arabia
Move Called
Slap At US.

NEW YORK = Saudi Arabia's
unilateral termination of the U. S.
Air Force lease at Dhahran Air
field demonstrates the futility of ac-
cepting repeated affronts to the in
tegrity of American citizenship, DR..
Joachim Prinz, president of the
American Jewish Congress, de-
clared.
The Jewish leader said the Saudi
Arabian action "puts an 1gnomlm-
Gus end to one of the sorrier epi-
sodes in the conduct of American
foreign affairs.
'eFOR YEARS." he declared,
American citizens of all religious
faiths have been subjected to crude
discrimination at the hands OF
Saudi Arabia. Jews have been eX-
cluded from the country and Jew
ish firms boycotted. Our own Air
Force has been forced to collabo-
rate in screening out Jewish per-
sonnel to prevent their assignment
to Dhahran.
"Public Christian religious serv-
ices for American airmen have
been prohibited at the Dhahran
base itself.
catholic chaplains have b n
barred from wearing their religious
vestments and even from wearing
the insignia of the cross on their
military uniforms.
DESPITE THESE repeated af-
fronts to the integrity of Ameri-
can citizenship, our government
has continued to placate, appease
and mollify Saudi Arabia in every
possible way. The futility of this
policy has now been proved"
Referring to the recent decision
by the New York Court of Ap-
peals ordering hearing of charges
by the American Jewish Congress
that the Arabian American Oil
Company (Aramco) discriminates
against Jews, DR.. Prinz declared:
There can no longer be even
a vestige of reason for permitting
Aramco to persist in its violation
of domestic fair employment prac-
tees laws on the excuse that anti
Jewish job discrimination is nec-
essary to satisfy its partner, t h
Saudi Arabian government.
eff our national stake in Saudi
Arabia has been thus diminished,
so is our need to submit to ma
tional humiliation and the deliber-
ate disregard of our local law"

crop and considerable marsh
which at one time was valuable
for muskrat trapping, but now
the price of fur has dropped
that it is not worth trapping.
A change from land to indus
trial would certainly be for the
better. An industry the size of
Shell Oil Company would in
crease school tax receipts one
hundred percent and offer en-
ployment to many local people
and offer many opportunities
for young people coming out of
school.
At the present time the bridge
from Flemings Landing to Route
l3 is closed. For the past 5
years the bridge across Black
bird Creek at Taylors Bridge
has been a temporary Bailey
Bridge, put in when the old
iron bridge was condemned G
years ago.
The roads are in deplorable
condition with sand patches and
deep holes. Perhaps with an in
dustry of this size paying adj
ditional taxes the State could
see their way clear to fix such
conditions.
In regard to wild life harped
on by the Game Commission,
in my opinion, it will make no
change in the habitat OF ducks
and geese as the Shell Oil Com
pany intend to leave the swamp
land as it is to act as a buffer.
AS for small game, it should
make no difference to the aver
age hunter as the land has al
ways been posted against hunt
ing.
Certain people who are op-
posed to Shell Oil have geese
and duck ponds and blinds
where they take private parties
for hunting will not be affect
ed because their land is a con-
siderable distance from the land
in question.
In reading articles where peo-
pie have stated they don't want
to change their way of living, "
it makes me wonder why they
have changed from kerosene
lights to electricity, from horse
drawn plows to tractors, bug
gies to shiny 8 cylinder cars,
from wood stoves and hand
pumps to modern all appliance
kitchens. All these were a
change for the better. Why
can't they see Shell Oil is a
change for the better.

inhabitable for most forms of
fish life. Other examples in Del
aware of polluted waters are
Red Clay and Christiana Creeks.
Over and beyond such pollution
are accidental oil spilla G S
which occur with remarkable
frequency along the Delaware
River. They are apparently con-
sidered acts of providence with
out any assigned responsibility
under law.
1t is not surprising that the
Shell Oil Company uses a plant
in Anacostes, Washington as an
exemplary operation. By the
time this can be investigated
the hearings may be over. More
important to our needs here is
statement of how many she'll
fish and other edible fish are
thriving off Marcus Hook, Bay
onne, Elizabeth and Delaware
City. All of these areas have
fine, modern oil industries. Is
it not nearer the truth to state
that no important fisheries of
any kind can survive the chem
ical complex that the support
ers of heavy industry would
like to bring to the Delaware
River and Bay?
Finally, is it surprising and
disappointing that Shells offer
TO lease 1900 acres of the pro-
posed site to the Delaware
Game and Fish Commission has
been made a part of this "re-
port to the people" 1t is dis
appointing because it reveals
poor ethics on the part of this
company. 1t is obviously in
tended as a bribe to silence our
Commission. One small oil spill
lage such as occurred last week
at Delaware City would make
this 1000 acres Cedar Swamp
a death trap for all wildlife that
might be attracted to the area.
Instead of desiring such an area
next to an oil refinery, we are
actively considering how to dis
courage the build-up of ducks
and geese at this site as well
as on our neighboring state
wildlife lands at Woodland
Beach.
| trust that the sleek, high
pressure, professional public re-
lations approach with its half
truths will not blot out COM
mon sense and desire for fair
play SO prevalent in the Smyr-

than one side to the story. If
you will grant me the space /
will attempt to express some of
the other side.
Oil processing industries, in
Guiding refineries, have great
difficulty in locating in parts of
this country where people are
alert to the problems of air
and water pollution that they
create. Such industry has tried
and failed to establish itself on
Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, and
Narragansett Bay in Rhode Is
land. Consequently, it should
be no surprise that the Shell
Oil Company has kept its inter-
est here we'll hidden until two
weeks ago. Then a petition for
re-zoning was made with a
hearing scheduled as soon as
the law would permit. Although
the Shell Oil Company had sew
eral months and plenty of
money to spend in developing
their case, the affected parties
had a few days! Obviously the
intent has been to stage a blitz
before the majority of people
could ask questions or contem-
plate the implications of this
request. Even the endorsing"
groups could not wait to hear
both sides. This is strange
commentary on the democratic
process, particularly as it re-
lates to the two high school
classes listed as endorsers.
The matter of what constitu-
tes air pollution should be in
vestigated by all concerned.
State laws have given little or
no protection against strong
and obnoxious odors as such.
Corporations are generally i'm
mune from court action unless
it can be proved that their dis
charges into the atmosphere
create definite health hazard.
Refineries and allied chemical
industries continue to emit
strong, offensive odors that defy
modern technology to eliminate.
1t is significant that of some
200 people recently contacted
within a 10-mile radius of Del
aware City, the ratio of those
opposed to new refineries is
about 10 to every 2 in favor.
1t is also significant that many
of the employees of even mod
ern refineries, who can afford
to do so, live several miles from
their place of employment.
Water pollution is not pro-
hibited by Delaware law. | state
this as one who represented a
State agency on the Delaware
Water Pollution Control Com
mission for several years. AL
though remarkable progress has
been made in pollution control,
the net effect of pollution en-
tering the Delaware River from
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Delaware has rendered a por
ton of this river virtually un-
