Work Resumes esi Headwaters of Jordan TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Syrians have renewed their preliminary work on the diversion of the Banyos water sources, one of the headwaters of the Jordan River, after two v/eeks of inactivity caused by the destruction of a number of tractors and other equipment in an exchange of fire with Israel, it was reported here today. The Syrians brought new equipment to the site, ami resumed clearing operations. The evening daily, Maariv, reported that the decision to resume work on the Syrian project was reached by the United Arab Command, after precautionary measures were taken, ine l u d i n g the reinforcement of Iraqi forces deployed- along the Jordanian border and the movement of forces within Syria and Lebanon. The L e b a n e s e authorities, meanwhile, released details this morning on the work going on within the country's b o r d e r s close to Israeli tcrritry, stressing that it was not connected with any water diversion plan. It is assumed that the Lebanese Government's statement was intended to allay the f e a r s of Lebanese farmers in the area who fear reprisals by Israel. Israeli quarters, however, said today that the work does constitute part of a water diversion scheme, and that the Israeli warning against such projects still stands.
Johnson Asks for Desalination Aid Washington (JTA)—President Lyndon B. J o h n s o n indicated this week he is mindful of American cooperative efforts with Israel to perfect nuclear desalination and asked Congress for a substantial increase in the government's programs to find economical means to desalt water. In a letter to Congress requesting new spending authority, the President said "we m u s t spare no effort" in learning how to turn salt w a t e r into pure w a t e r. One aspect of the research he initiated is the program now under way in Israel to build a nuclear desalting facility.

H.Y. Newlyweds Pay [Jo Synagogue Dues
New York (JTA) — Seventyfour congregations affiliated with the New York Metropolitan Region of the United Synagogue of America have agreed to grant memberships free of dues or other charges to all newly married couples during their first year of marriage, it was announced by Arthur J. Levine, regional president. Noting that most newlyweds usually fail to join a synagogue because of financial hardship, Mr. Levine said that rabbis and synagogue administrators feel that such financial h a r d s h i p s h o u l d not bar congregation membership. He said that such free memberships were available to newlyweds only if they were married by the rabbi of a synagogue subscribing to the program. BONN (JTA)—Police have announced the- arrest of two men on suspicion that they had written threatening leaflets, decorated with swastikas, to all members of the Bundestag, West Germany's lower house of Parliament, who had indicated they favored extension of the statute of limitations on prosecution of Nazi war criminals, The leaflets were mailed shortly before the Bundestag voted in principle for extension of the statute beyond next May 8. The leaflets said the "fuehrer" of the area would kill each deputy whD voted for extension.

Nazi Trials Sentence Two; Tales Told'of SENTENCED GRAZ. Austria UTA)--Friedrich Lex, the wartime Nazi chief in Tarnopol.in occupied Poland, was sentenced to 15 years' imp r i s o n m e n t on war crimes charges. Lex had been f o u n d guilty in connection with the murder of thousands of Jewish victims in Tarnopol. Essen, Germany (JTA)—Alfred Rapp. formerly a colonel in Hitler's SS, who has been on trial here for the murder of at least 10,000 Jews during World War JI, was sentenced to 10 terms of life imprisonment. It was believed to be the most severe prison sentence short of death, ever meted out to a convicted Nazi criminal. Rapp had been charged with supervision of 10 mass killings of Jews in 1942 at Kiinsy, in the Soviet Union. He had told the court he would not plead innocent, declaring that "what happened was so terrible that 1 cannot and will not ask for mercy." V. S. JUDGE TESTIFIES Frankfurt UTA) — Pennsylv a n i a Supreme Court Justice Michael A. Mussmano, one of the American prosecutors during the Nuremberg war crimes trials, told the court trying 22 Auschwitz concentration camp personnel, that members of Hitler SS could have refused to participate in the mass murders of Jews if they really wanted to do so. Judge Mussmano based his assertion on-facts he had accumulated after World War II as a prosecutor and as an official who had interviewed at least 200 SS officers and other Nazis charted with mass murder. He testified that, in most instances, a Nazi refusing to take part in mass murder would be sent to the front but not punished in any other manner. "The only reason so many others did not ask for duty at the front," he said, "was because,. if they shot at the front, someone would shoot back; but when they shot down helpless men, women and children, the only response was the moaning of the dying." Bonn (JTA) — Witnesses in trials of former Nazis a g a i n spread on the record details of monstrous acts of torture and murder they witnessed. In Dusseldorf, a survivor of the Treblinka camp collapsed while testifying that the Nazi guards had forced him to throw his infant sister into a trench filled with burning bodies. Joseph Waller, 37, a Brooklyn decorator, wept as he said "God saw it all, why didn't he do anything," and collapsed of a heart attack. Ten former Treblinka guards are on trial for murdering 700,000 Jews.
Three Israelis, survivors of the Nazi occupation of Tnrnapol in Poland, tes'.ified in Graz that Friedrich Lex, Naiii chief for the district, personally k i l l e d many victims. Abraham Ochs, 74, said that in I!M2 the Nazis assembled several hundred Jews for a "Children and Aged" action ordered by Lex, and shot them in a nearby wood. He .said Lex personally shot three Jews, Barbara Spinner. 41, said her mother, grandmother and brother were shot by the Nazis on August 31, 1942. Pointing at Lex, she called him "the hangman of my family." Dr. Bernard Reichenbach of Naharia said Lex shot M a r c u s Bernhard, 20 on the street. Lex insisted he had never shot a single person.
NEW YORK (JTA)-Opposition to "interfaith dialogues" which, he charged had been largely responsible for "the alarmingly growing rate of intermarriage," was voiced by Rabbi Menachem M. Schncerson, the Lubavitcher rebbe. Replying to a request by 250 Jewish leaders who had asked him for his views jn interfaith dialogues, Rabbi Schnecrson declared: "There is no need for vis whatever to have any religious dialogues with non-Jews, nor any interfaith activities in the form of religious discussions, interchange of pulpits and the like. The brotherhood of mankind is a positive concept only so long as it is confined to commerce, philanthropy and civil and economic aspects of society. Unf o r t u n a t ely, brotherhood has been misconstrued to require members of one faith to explain their religious beliefs and practices to members of another faith." Noting the increase of intermarriage, the Lubavitcher rebbe said that interfaith dialogues have created confusion in the minds "of the young as well as of their parents."

New York (JTA)—The American Jewish Congress charged this week that. State Department officials were seeking to prevent passage of a Senate bill designed to frustrate the Arab boycott of Isruf-I, In a letter to Secretary of State Dean Rusk, the Jewish group said the State Department was "apparently not only unwilling to p r o t e c t American business from Arab boycott demands but determined not to Jet a n y o n e else do anything either." The letter, signed by Will Maslow, executive director, said the target of State Department efforts was a bill introduced by Senator Jacob K. Javits, Republican of New York, and Senator Harrison B. Williams, Democrat of New Jersey. The bill, which amends the Export Control Act of 1949, would make it unlawful for American businessmen to impart the kind of information customarily demanded in Arab boycott questionnaires circulated in the United States.
to Jordan Hivcr water access, rather than to .seek a '•military solution." He made the statement during debate on British Middle East policy. He also said that, while Britain would like better relations with Egypt, it had no intention of seeking that goal by sacrificing its ties with Israel, Iran or any other Middle East nation with which it had good relations. He said such action would be a change in the general basis of Bntish policy in the area. Declaring that the question of __ the Jordan River waters was one of the immediate causes of tension in the Middle East, he reported that Britain had made it clear to Israel that, if anything happened which the Israelis regarded as provocative, excessive or dangerous from the viewpoint of water access, there was a vital need not to settle this problem by any recourse to an imposed or military solution. If matters reached that point, he said, Britain hoped Israel would take the question to the U. N.
ROME (JTA)-Pope Paul VI declared while delivering his Passion Sunday Lenten Sermon, thrtt Christ had been killed by the Jews, but that the Jews did not know who Jesus was. He emphasized that Christ himself "did not curse those who crucified Him, but invoked the Father's forgiveness because they did not know what they were doing." The Pontiff took as his theme, in conducting a large outdooor mass, the Passion Sunday Gospel which tells of Christ talking with the Jewish teachers in Jerusalem who doubted his divini-

Israel Wins Point Night Patrols At Geneva PcsrSey GENEVA (JTA)—Against the opposition of the three Communist, members and one of the Arabs on the body, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights decided overwhelmingly this weekend to include in the draft convention on elimination of all religious intolerance a clause proposed by Israel, making it mandatory on all governments to guarantee the right of all religious communities to "write,, print and publish religious books and texts." Without naming the Soviet Union, Hie clause was clearly aimed at the USSR, where those rights 'to write, print and publish" are denied to Jews. Associate Justice Ilaim Colin of the Israeli Supreme Court, who is a delegate to the Commission, proposed that clause as an amendment to one of the articles of the projected religious freedoms convention. The dralt convention has been debated by the Commission for a week. The Soviet Union, Ukrainian, Polish and Iraqi delegates on the Commission argued against the Colin motion. When it came to a vote, Ifi delegates of the 22-member Commission voted in favor of the Israeli motion; the USSR and Iran voted against it, while Poland and the Ukraine abstained.

Asbury Park N.J. (JTA)—A group of Jewish men have organized a system of nightlong patrols in nearby Wanamassa — similar to the Maccabee group set up by H a s s i d i c Jews in Brooklyn—in an effort to apprehend vandals who have been smashing windows and defacing the entrance of the Hillel Hebrew Day School in that town. Since the school moved into the building six years ago, more than 100 windows have been smashed. Rabbi Morris" A. Shmidman, school dean and spiritual leader here, organized a patrol to supplement police surveillance of the area. He said the police have "gone all out" to catch the vandals, "but they can't just sit there all night."

PUIIIM IN HONG KONG The following is part of a letter I received from my son A2C Gordon Hollis, who is stationed in Korea, but recently spent a four day leave in Hong Kong. I thought it might be interesting to the Jewish Press readers. "On March 21, the Jewish Women's Federation of Hong Kong held its annual Purim Ball at the Horn; Hong Hilton. The ball was attended by 300 people and (lie proceeds went to the Youth. Allyali in Israel. Hong Kong boasts a Jewish population of about 200; mostly Europeans ulio came to the Crown Colony via China, to escape Hitler's tyranny."
"I went to the ball; had an evening suit made in 24 hours, and I thought It looked so good that I almost, felt like a gentleman instead of a GI. The people were completely unpretentious, invited me back, and I have never had so much fun. I got high on champagne, danced with every beautiful woman there (ami there were plenty) and will treasure this memory for a long time." Gordon will be returning to the states on May I for a 30 day leave, following which he will be relocated at Shaw AF Base, South Carolina. Rose IloIIifi

Federation Library By Uandi Scliumcistcr and Bob Halm Each year there are new Philanthropies chairmen chosen, and each year there is a different approach to the campaign. This year we are using the Philanthropies campaign not only for fund-raising, but also for educational purposes. We have tried to give the Jewish teen-ager some background of philanthropy and its place in Judaism. The question we asked this week was: "Why should a teenager contribute to Philanthropies through the Jewish Youth Council, if the money he is giving he received from his parents (allowances), and his parents could have given it directly to the overall campaign.
NEW BOOKS WORTH READING THE AMERICAN JEW: A REAPPRAISAL edited by Oscar L Janowshy In J!M2, Professor Janowsky edited a volume with a similar title, calling it "A Composite Portrait." This 19G4 version, entirely rewritten, with new contributors, contains a wealth of material by 1!) important writers on major aspects of American Jewish Life. How are they organized? How do they maintain their identity? How do they function? #

STORIES FROM PERETZ translated and edited by Sol Liptzin The collection of stones in this volume presents a picture of Jewish Life that has long since disappeared. The joys, sorrows, struggles, hopes and aspirations of Jews are mirrored in these pages, because Peretz believed that Yiddish Literature must be the voice and conscience of a suffering and harrassed people. *

Hen's and Boys' Judo Starts This Tuesday The J.C.C. Health and Physical Education Department, will launch another phase of the current "Operation Physical Fitness" program on T u e s d a y , April 13. The new course of conditioning and Judo classes for boys between the ages of 9-1G will start on Tuesday, April 13 from 6:30-8 p.m. The adult class will follow from 8-9 p.m. Fee for the 8 session course is $5. According to Chuck Arnold, JCC Athletic Director, the course in Judo is important b e y o n d learning the art of self-defense. Mr. Mel Bruno, who will instruct the course, explained that combined with a preliminary conditioning course, the specialized training is designed to bring into play every muscle of the body. The effect makes the individual more alert physically and mentally. "We are extremely fortunate" Mr. Arnold said "to obtain the services of Mr. Bruno, one of the world's greatest Judo ex-
perts. I urge the boys and men of our community to take advantage of this unusual opportunity." To r e g i s t e r for the Judo courses, complete the application form below and' return immediately to the Jewish Community Center.
There are many great names in American Judo, hut no single man has had a greater effect or is more highly respected than Mel Bruno, Gth Degree. It is significant to note that Mr. Bruno is the first Non-Japanese in the United States to receive the fitli Dan-Black-Belt, and is only the 4th Caucasian in history to bo given the Cth Degree. Mr. Bruno officially e s t a blished judo in the Navy Instructor Training school curriculum in 1012. In 1951, General Thomas S. Power, in search of training which would prepare crew members for the arduous tasks they face in the Strategic Air Command, sought out Mel B r u n o . While working under General Power setting up the SAC program, Mr, Bruno was selected as coach of the U. S. Wrestling team for a tour of Japan. In 1904 Mr. Bruno was coach and manager of the USAF Judo t e a m in preparation for tho Olympic tryouts in 1904. Known in the Armed Forces as "Mr. Judo," Mel Bruno is currently a staff member at SAC.
