WE 1388 with 4 Law Construed To Assist Uude NEW YORK -Dependmg on how the law's construed, there's nothing rude about a proper nude, as long as her mood skirts the lewd. The nude in the case is Jan Tice, 27, a long-haired brunet.e, who took off her clothes on a downtown sidewalk Nov. 10, tak ing, so to speak, certain unusual liberties on Liberty Street. She was accompanied by Professional Photographer Jean Kirk- land, 36, and Writer John Wil-cock, also 36, who said their mis sion was to illustrate a book. There happened by as an unin vited spectator of this titillating tableau Detective Joseph Leavy, who thereupon charged all three with disturbing the Sunday after noon peace of Lower Manhattan, After a Nov.

22 trial, Criminal Court Judge Richard F. Daly yes terday announced the acquittal of all three nude, photographer and writer. He ruled: "There is no evidence of an in tent on the part of the defandants to effect a breach of the peace The time and place selected, to wit, a Sunday afternoon on Liber ty. Street, would seem to indicate a contrary intention. "Actually, the defendants an noyed no one, disturbed no one, interfered with no one, obstructed no one, or became offensive to no one except, perhaps, the po lice officer.

"The conclusion of this court should not be construed as an ap proval of the act of these defen dants. The defendants may have violated certain other provisions of the penal law. The court hastens to further state that there can be no justification for the acts of these defendants. How ever, no case justifies stretching a penal statute to fix the facts."

This view is expressed by John G.

Feild, consultant to the El eanor Roosevelt Foundation, in Rights and the South," a book-length symposium published by the North Carolina Law Review, Feild, is among 10 contributors to the work which has an introduction by Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy who emphasizes "that the struggle for civil rights Is a nationwide problem." Feild concludes that the em ployment predicament of the Negro is worse now than it was in 1954. Crisis Proportions "Through miscalculation, Ignorance or misplaced optimism, the impact of automation upon Negroes has been allowed to reach crisis proportions, Feild writes.

Greater governmental initiative Is needed, he argues. Citing studies by the Department of Labor and the Southern Regional Council, Feild says the nature of the job market has changed drastically; production jobs have decreased and non- production jobs have soared. Berl I. Bernhard, staff director of the U. S.

Commission on Civil Rights, reports on desegregation efforts. 'Progress continues to be slow In the South," Bernhard writes. He says the U. S. attorney gen eral in the past five years has brought 45 suits involving voter rights in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia.

State Rights On public accommodations, Bernhard adds that the U. S. Supreme Court now faces "the broad question of whether the state has any right to arrest and prosecute protesters for seeking equal access to places of public accommodations." Laurence W. Knowles, law pro fessor at the University of Louisville and advisor to the Civil Rights Commission, describes southern school segregation as motivated by racial factors, whereas it results, from geographical attendance areas in the North and West. "The South keeps its Negroes out of the neighborhood schools and the North keeps its Negroes in the neighborhood schools," writes Knowles.

"Both practices result in educational apartheid." In rural areas, Knowles says, "The power structure within the Negro community does not encourage desegregation." With few exceptions, rural Negro teachers discourage integration or are non-committal, he says. Simple Reason "The reason is simple. Integration will probably mean their jobs." Knowles says Negro teachers in urban areas are not under such pressure.

The observance extends over an eight-day period and is known as the "Feast of Light." It celebrates winning of freedom from Syrians by the Jewish people in the years 168-165 B. C. It is known as Hanukah, or dedication, and is celebrated by Jews all over the world.

"The observance commemorates the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem after its defilement by the heathen at the time of religious persecution by the Syrians, and also the great victories of the Maccabees," said Dr. Liberies. "These victories eventually led to the religious freedom and national independence of the Jew ish people and made possible the ethical monotheism of all the Western religions. Oil Burns 8 Days "At the re-dedication of the Temple only a small jar of oil was said to have been found. This oil burned for eight days in the golden candlestick although ordinarily it would have lasted for only one day.

From this is said to be derived the eight days of the festival." The observance begins today but the main service will be at 8 p. m. Friday at Temple Beth-El. On Wednesday at 3:30 p. school children celebrate by lighting the first candle and sing ing of Maos Tsur Rock of Ages eating the traditional food of Latkes, potato pancakes, and playing traditional games.

Wednesday evening the sister hood begins its monthly meeting with traditional religious candle ceremonies. At 10 a.m. Sunday the Sunday school will celebrate the festival with plays, pantomimes, poems, songs and games followed with a luncheon given by mothers. Flees From Hitler Dr. Liberies, 60, came recently as rabbi of Temple Beth-El.

Born in Germany, he escaped from a concentration camp in the early days of Hitler's persecution and came to the U.S. in 1963. He is a graduate of the Teach ers College of the Hebrew Semin ary at Liepzig, Germany; earned his B.S. degree and Phi Beta Kappa key along with a profes sorship in sociology at Boston University; won a doctor of ora tory degree at Staley College at Brookline, did post gradu ate work at Cincinnati, and put in four years of rabbinical research at Hebrew College in Chicago. He has been 34 years in the ministry.

His services include five years at Quincy, 111., five years in Chicago, and service as chaplain at LaFayette, Air Your dollars will make it possible for hundreds of needy families and their children to have a Christmas Dinner, and for the children to have toys.

Gene Slusher, Salvation Army, Fort Myers, TODAY? j(This ad Is published as a public service by the News-Press) South has moved with glacial speed," writes Knowles. "Teach er integration has not moved at all." Federal courts generally have refused to face the problem of teacher integration until deseg regation of pupils has been ac complished or progressed sub stantially, he said. Martin E.

Sloane of the office of general counsel, Housing and Home Finance Agency, reports that 19 states now maintain some form of fair housing laws But he concludes: "Fair housing laws have had no apparent revolutionary ef fect, either in terms of hampering the housing industry or bringing about truly integrated housing." Phenomenal Growth Despite the phenomenal growth of fair housing laws and direct action groups on Hie local level to help integration, Sloane said none of these developments has been in the South. Arguments against federal legislation as encroachment on state rights and individual liberties are made by, among others, Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Ervin calls the proposed civil rights legislation now before Congress the work of "zealots willing to trample on tra ditional judicial guarantees and to destroy the federal system." An opposing view is expressed by Arthur E. Sutherland, law professor at Harvard, who says that adoption of the 14th Amend ment showed "we had reached the stage where the federal government must assume a greater degree of control over local af fairs." Sutherland concludes the fed eral government has inclusive control over the national econ omy in interstate commerce laws extending beyond control of goods and available "to correct injustice to the Negro."
