Domingo Reyes, a staff member of the United States Civil Rights Commission, resigned last weekend from the Commission saying "the Jewish-dominated Commission is black-oriented to the almost total exclusion of the Chicano (Mexican-American) and the American Indian." Mr. Reyes said he had been harassed by the Commission and deprived of his civil rights. He had served in the capacity of assistant to the director of the Commission’s Mexican-American Division. According to Mr. Reyes, Howard A. Glickstein, the Commission’s director-designate, required that he quit unpaid positions with outside civil rights groups before being permitted to moderate a New York-based radio program. A Commission spokesman denied Mr. Reyes’ charges.
