A survey conducted by the American Jewish Committee in San Francisco last year found that 30% of Haight-Ashbury's hippies were Jewish.

In Tacoma, Wash., Columbians and Shriners gathered for what one ecumenical enthusiast called "a real bash." And in Hartford, Conn., the Knights have joined with the Masons and B'nai B'rith to form a brotherhood committee rep resenting a combined membership of 100,000. Says Supreme Knight John W.
