California voters decisively rejected in Tuesday’s elections a proposition to reinstate a property tax on private and parochial schools which presumably would also have applied to the Jewish schools in the state.
The struggle over the proposal involved charges of anti-religious bias made against sponsors of the measure. A Citizens United Committee Against Taxing Schools, which fought the measure, included a number of Jewish leaders. These included Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin, Rabbi Simon A. Dolgin, Dore Schary, Rabbi Max Nussbaum, Rabbi Osher Zilberstein and Attorney General-elect Stanley Mosk.
