The American Jewish Congress last night called on the Board of Education to reject a proposal that would use Federal funds to send public school teachers into parochial schools, Yeshivoth and other religiously-affiliated schools.

At a Board of Education hearing, Marvin M. Karpatkin, leader of the American Jewish Congress, said the proposal – which would also supply television sets and other equipment to church-related schools — violated both the Federal and State Constitutions.
