Jewish shopkeepers who keep their stores closed on the Sabbath will be permitted to keep them open longer on Sunday, under a new bill the Netherlands Cabinet is preparing for submission to Parliament. The measure proposes that Jews who do not sell their wares on Saturday may keep their shops open from 10 A. M. to 6 P. M. Sundays.
