Seeking Jewish support of the Administration’s education bill. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach today told the opening session of the B’nai B’rith Women international convention here that “the debate about the relationship of church and state has tended to polarize groups into irreconcilable and extreme positions.”

Mr. Katzenbach urged re-examination of the nation’s educational needs in the same spirit of “conciliation and persuasion” that he thought would bring the great progress in civil rights. He told the B’nai B’rith Women that “what is needed is a spirit of wanting solutions–rather than to regard these (education) needs merely as an opportunity once again to express a particular, immovable point of view.”
