The fight over one of the New Right s pet issues provoked an up roar Monday when Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., an advocate of school prayer, referred to oppo nent Sen. Howard Metzenhaum, D-Ohio, a Jew, as “the senator from B’nai B rith. Metzenhaum said he was filled with sadness and embarrassment at the “bad taste” remark. Holl ings quickly apologized, saying he meant no slur and was speaking only in fun and in the heat of a debate. B’nai B’rith is a U.S.-based Jewish social service organization. Sen. Lowell Weicker, R- Conn., said he would filibuster to prevent passage of an $8.6 billion appropriation hill for the Depart ment of Justice and other agen cies, which carries the pro-prayer amendment.
