Justice DelaySd Is Justice Denied
lUUa - A bitter but unnecessary controversy which has flared in the Judicial and legal professions here can best be understood against the ' background of courtroom realities In Iiraet. I select one case, from among thousands, which by example may shed ' light on what Is going on. Some mootiis ago, on a Haifa-Acre bus, 2S-year-old ^Monette Tierey was having ' WCit a 0MXl Ume that she Unigbed out loud — and louder and louder. A poUcewootan, In civilian dress, asiced her to tone down her laughter ! it was disturbing the laaaenflers. In reply simply laughed still The offlcer directed the Iws to ttie nearest police station, and there Monette was booked an the grounds that her buitfiter and noise were a public nuisance. The Justice -«(the Peace, before whom the brought, held that ' was no offense, and ke chastised the police for brlngliig such a ludicrous eharie agataist the girl The Hale proaecutor ap-
to the DMriet Obwt datmlng that the aocund had been chaffed also with uttMiiig loud riMNiti, and the Judge had no raaaoB to throw the caae out of oowt on the The learned judges soberly considered the appeal, and ruled that If the charges of wild shouts were proven, the accused had been guilty of unruly behavior. The Justice of the Peace was therefore Incorrect in rejecting the charges. Case therefore returned to ttie lower court for reconsideratkMi. I don't know how many precious hours were spent by judges, lawyers, witnesses and court personnel on this judicial carousel, but my Illustration may explain why Justice Zvi Bcrinson, of the Supreme Court (prior to the laiighter caae) Issued a blast against the ck)gging up of court calendars to such an extent that tens of thousands of cases, criminal and civil, are now stacked up in an almoat endleaa gueiie awaiting coarideratkML The Mintatry of Justice revealed recently that

half a milUan cases are now pending In Israel's courtol Some of the reasons for the situatkm may be ascribed to tiie lawyers. Some of tiiem, imable to win a case on merit, deliberately use delaying tactka and Involved, confused reasoning, to the hope that the more (og. the greater their chance of groping their way to a victory. The situation on tiie bench contributes Ito share. There Is a 10 per cent shortage of judges in Israel's Dtotrict Courts — simply because the Knesset committee which Is supposed to nominate the Judges' Appointment Committee could not meet. Reason? Ilie political parties could not decide how to apportlon the Knesset representation in accordance with the strength of the respective parties. Judges die or retire; no new appointments are made; the court dockets clog up still more.

Rabbi Isaac M. Wise made a brief visll to Omaha and LIncoto to August of 1(77. He wrote as follows, as published In the AMERICAN ISRAELITE dated September 7,1877: "So we came Wednesday night at a late hOur to Omaha, and left Thursday morning for LIncoto, Neb., where Mr. laaac Oppenheimer and other gentlemen kindly received us and escorted us to the hotel. Sight-seeing was now in order. We saw the Capitol, the Governor, the AttorneyGeneral, the Secretary of State and other big people, then the penitentiary and its rogues, the university and a number of other sights, among which, however, the penitentiary is the finest and best kept building, a granite structure of excellent proportions. "The town Itself is young, has a number of good buUdlngs besides the SUte buildings, stores and hotels, and an artesian well of 1,200 feet depth pouring forth a volume of medicinal water. "The Israelites here are very few, perhaps six families, Oppenhelmer, Mayer, Stem, and others, all merchanU. "In the evening I delivered a lecture in the opera-house to a very large audience, which, I was told, comprised Ihe intelligence of thU Capitol, hidudtog the Govenior and hU sUff. The lecture, of courae, was very etoquent and scholarly, as we are told everywhere by /riendly journals and good-natured frieods. Our critics are very oourteouB and indulgent." In deacribtog his visit to Omaha, Rabbi Wise stated that "Rev. Dr. Fisher, the Methodist minister, of Omaha, calls for me. I must go to Ihe church with him and preach for him. The Clnctanati Rabbi must preach to
a Methodiat Church. Bui IhU is the West, and the West Is thoroughly liberalized." In the following issue of the ISRAELITE, Wise wrote: "And now 1 have preached to (he Methodist Church to a MetlMdist congregation, to the presence of their own ordained minister; and all things have remained to their usual place. "Fifty years ago It would have looked miraculous for a rabbi to preach to a Methodist congregation; but now and here it Is nothing strange. The various rellgtous sects are no longer what tbey were to days of yore. "They have stretched a little here and cut off a little there, according to the underlytog spirit of indomitable progress, and thtogs are assuming pretty much the same shape."

)entile Gives His Silver to Hadassati By JMcph Polahon > At a time when Urael T«ereiy needi both moral and material lupport, Albert P. Hinckley Jr. bat come through handiomely both waya. Shortly after the Yom Kippur War was underway. he contributed hit collection of Georgian tilver to Hadaiiah for two reaaona.: 1 — The silver's sale would bring (85,000 to help purchase supplies for Israeli soldiers wounded on the Syrian and Egptian fronU; 2 — Much more importantly, his intention was to encourage other Americans, especially non-Jews but Jews too, to give more of themtelves for Urael.

He almoat coverted to JudaUm and became an Uracil. "Iirael," he laid, "it very much a part of my life." It all lUrted in 19W after completing his architectural studies at MIT. He was traveling in Greece when his original plans went awry. "I decided to make a awing through the Near East — Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon and via Cyprui to Israel," he said. "In both Egypt and Lebanon, I was exposed to anti-Israeli propaganda as a matter of course. While I had no real feelings about the situation, I found the propaganda crude and I became interested." And he went to Israel. While being buffeted by the shortage of hotel rooms in Tel Aviv, he thought Israel was "very scruffy" until he l)ecame acquainted with an Uraell, R«f> Blumenfett, who persuaded him to go on a liip to Galilee.

Israel," he said. "I begaa to gala a perspective and aa admtrstion for what I had ael until then lieen seeing," That experience, a reading of Exodus (which he said is "trash as literature but the story is very strong") and, among other things, "a fear that I was heading home to a very soft and thus probably destructive life," caused him to decide to return to Israel for a couple of years. UnUPthen, Hinckley said, he had only a casual contact with Judaism. In school and college he knew quite a few Jews, but none intimately. "My parents had never inculcated and-Semitism in us, nor had I ever been exposed to it at first hand. I had read Genlleroen'i Agreement and resolved never to have anything to do with antiSemitism." The combination of his visit lo Israel and those books, he said, "made me aware of Judaism and Zionism as forces of unparalleled dimensions" and he wanted to learn more about them. When he informed his parenU of his decision, he reported that they-wondered "why would an acknowledged Idiot take leave of what little sense he had and go live in the place where they murdered Foike Bemadotte < a good friend of the family) and get himself robbed blind in the bargain?" But the following June, sfter learning some "very basic Hebrew," he returned to Tel Aviv. There, he got a job, part time for the first five months as I was studying Herbrew five hours a day, six days a week at Ulpan Meir in downtown Tel Aviv, and started to make friends. Time passed and in about Vk years I was madly, totally and eternally in love with Israel. I still am." Htocklcy said, that among many elements, it is the people be came to know that created this love. He finally realised he had lo cboote belween Israel and America then or he would find 11 almaal impofslble lo leave Uter. "Somewhere inside I knew that to really go over would be self-indulgent and probably a mistake," he said. "Better to
use what 1 had learned to become a better original than be any kind of copy So after two years in Urael, 1 left." During the Yom Kippur War he read about the outpouring of support from the Jewish community here and how help was coming from Christians, too. "I decided that life could go on without my collection of Georgian silver," he said. Kinckle gave the silver to the Women's Zionist organization and then arranged for iU re-«ale to the original dealers. He also contributed his Charles the Second silver toilet service to the Virginia Museum in Richmond in memory of those who had fallen for the Jewish State, thereby reminding Virginians of Israel's heroes. Visiting Urael after the war, be became convinced that "much more gentile support was required than is presently forthcoming." He realized he was defeating his whole purpose in shunning publicity about the silver. "While I really do not like the idea of people publicizing their own good works," he said, "1 can now see that in this case and probably many others, the attitude can be selfish. So 1 am ready to get as much mileage out of this as possible to help Hadassah and Israel. If It brin|{s more gentile support, good, but it may bring more Jewish support too, and that would also be good." Betides his own personal lies to Urael, Hinckley added, "I feel that as a gentile and specifically as a ChrUtian, not to mention an American, that it is an obligation lo do so. The creation and development of the State of Urael is one of the most •magnificent chapters in modern history." "If the ChrisUan world were to stand by while Urael is destrr^ed, it could be a crime greater than the Holocaust. Happily, our country is supporting Israel. Unhappily, most Americans think that it enough, that the Jews will take care of their own, forgetting thai Israel is fighting our battle for ut. I would like to have a't least tried to change that opinion."
The Jawiih Pr«H .
Jewish Quiz Box^ By RabM Dr. fiamoal J. f^n QUESTION: Why la It that the Tonb U read in tha aynagogue on Slmcfaat Torab nlgfit when It ii not read at night any other time of the year? ANSWER: Basically, Jewish tradition permits the Torah to be read only in the daytime. Simchat Torah night seems to be an exception. Some claim that the reason for this is that the Torahs have already been removed from the ark (or the procession. Actually, the only reason the Torah should be removed from the ark U for reading the Torah. Therefore, once It has been removed from the ark the reading is not only permissable, it is actually a must to that the Torah was not removed from the ark In vain. Some ask a question on this statement i.e., if it is so, why don't we read from the Torah on Yom Kippur Eve when the Torahs are removed from the ark for the recitation of Kol Nidre? Thla makes tlie Torah reading on the eve of Simchat Torah somewhat enlgnutlc. In thU sense, aome venture to lay lliat the Torahs on Yom Kippur eve serve aa a symbol elUMr of the oommtadty unity or the presence of a Beth Oln to annul the vowi which U effected through the reclUtiao of Kol Nidie. It It further poaalble to sUte that tradltloo acttiaUy caUt (or the redUtion of Kol NIdre In the daytime before the aun tett at which time the Toraht may be uied for taking oaths or the annulment of vowt. IIK prooeation of the Torahs on Simchat Torah takes place at night and at that time the reading of the Torah would be the only function permitted for the removal of the Torahs. QlJESnON: Why U the last day of Sukkot called Stancfaat Torah?
ANSWER: Actually, the Bible never called this day Simchat Torah. This name is said to have originally appeared in the eariy Middle Ages. Some used to call this festival day the "Yom Ha-berakah," the day on which the "blessing" (of Moses) is read from the Torah. Some early sources simply called it the "last day of the (Sukkot I festival." Some call it "Chag Ha-slyym," the festival of conclusion (of the reading of the Torah, or the conclusion of the festival.) It was in Spain that the festival gained the name of "Simchat Torah," apparently because the Torah reading is concluded with festivity on that day.

Shapell is convinced that the murder of six million Jews in especially constructed exlerminalion cealers was partly caused and certainly accelerated by the refuul of the world at large to give them refuge. ROBERT TOWNE. recipient of an Oscar nomination for "The Last Detail" and author of tlte current hit, "Chinatown," is a writer of a differenl breed, a profeasioaal of the "todsy" generslion. We talked with Bob, a

rboMer and homebuikler in California, also Naclivc ta Jewish and community affairs. f, TowM, himself a native of Los Angeles, researched the history of Southern California of the past M years and came up with an expose which in itself is a "Watergate affair" ^'in miniature. •i^ Today, It is almost forgotten that the desert '^iand of Owens Valley, caught in the worst drought of the century, was bought In small j>arcels by some faceless speculators operating under ficlilious names. The flow of water from Ihe reservoir then was diverted to hrigale the newly acquired "waste" acreage and Ihe olive groves in the San Fernando .rVaOcy started to bkwm. ,: TMs is the basic plot of "Chinatown," a story .«f the great land grab in the Southwest of ' Califomia, and the cover-up of the crime, 'corruption which leads to murder. . Bob Towne feels that the title in itself may lead 10 ill-feeling among some moviegoers ' because there are no Chinese involved, though r the payoff takes place.in Chinatown. Yet, the yam deals with a state of mind of the participants rather than with a physical locatk>n. ,.. In lb* meantime.

MARVIN ROTHMAN and JOHN HARRIS. with headquarters at GoMwyn Sludkis in Hollywood, snnounce the productkw of a feature film dealing with the life and career of David Ben Gurfcm. Harris tells me that extensive research is being undertaken and a large cast sought to fill the many key roles in Ihe drama of conflict of humanity, politics and war. George Jessd serves as coiiroducw and will appear in a cameo role, but the part of Ben Gurion is still under negotiation. Menahem Golan, the Israeli producer of "Kaxablan" now living in Hollywood, is set to direct.

It deals with the kidnapping by Xrab tcrrorisU of a group of five yowig glrki; daughters of Ihe French owner of "Rosebud." a wealthy German industrialist, a disposaeased Greek miUkmaire, a British Lord, and a United Slates Senator — the latter portrayed by John Lindsay, the former mayor of New York. The Arabs, led by an kitelligenl ideohigue and a deadly killer, work smoothly and efficiently. The "Rosebud" crew is murdered and the boat steered out loses. The yacht is set on a coUiswn course with the coati of Israel to force compliance with the demands o( the outlaws. BARBRA STREISAND, currently on the screen in Ihe hilarious comedy "For Pete's Sske" produced by Martin Erlichman and Stanley Shapiro, completed a sequel to "Funny Girl," Ihe story of Fanny Brice, entitled "Funny Lady", showing the lale great* comedienne's ascent to fame In the Follies. Billy Rose is portrayed by James Caan, while Omar Sharif makes his return engagemenl in Ihe pari of the first husband created by him on Ihe screen bi the earlier movie. "Funny Lady", as well as "Funny Girl" and Streisand's "For Pete's Sake", were made under the banner of "Raslar" Pictured — the company owned by Ray Stark — who happens to be Ihe son-in-law of Fanny Brice.

"Furthamore, feur years later, after graduating from callage — at an average coat of $10,000 — many students are no better off," an expert in Vocational education, Debera L.
