Rabbi Eliezer Silver, chief rabbi of the United Orthodox Congregations here, is circularizing public officials throughout the country with a plea that Jewish college students, particularly those studying medicine, be given an opportunity to observe their Sabbath without discrimination.

Cooper, urging that curricula be arranged so that Jewish students will not be called upon to violate the Sabbath.
