Urge U.S. Seek
Restoration of
Cremieux Laws
Delegation of French Exiles
Present Plea on Behalf of
Jews in Algeria
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
memorandum analyzing the ef-
fect of the abrogation of the
Cremieux decree on the status of
the native Jews in Algeria and
asking the intercession of the
United States to bring about the
restoration of this decree, was
presented this week to Under-
secretary of State Welles by a
delegation of French exiles rep-
resenting the French-Jewish Rep-
resentative Committee, which is
affiliated with the World Jewish
Congress.
The delegation, composed of
Capt. Pierre Dreyfuss, Henri
Torres, Paul Jacob and Paul
Weill, was introduced to Welles
by Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair-
man of the administrative com-
mittee of the World Jewish Con-
gress, It pointed out that "the
abrogation of the Cremieux de-
cree is the most unjust racial dis-
crimination ever inflicted upon
French citizens of Jewish faith
who are natives of Algeria."
The 16-page memorandum re-
views the history of Jewish citi-
zenship in Algeria and offers
proof that the abrogation of the
Cremieux decree is illegal under
the organic law of the French
Republic. Contrary to offering a
basis for better understanding
with the Arabs, this abrogation
jeopardizes the possibility of se-
curing a just and complete
emancipation of the Arabs, it
points out,

Center Offers Special
Summer Membership
The Jewish Community Center
again offers a special summer
membership, effective June 15.
Special membership rates, good
for three months, will give Cen-
ter members an opportunity to
participate in social, cultural,
recreational and athletic activi-
ties.
Since the outdoor court proved
such a popular spot last summer
for all activities, the summer va-
riety program will be held again
in this cool, comfortable setting.
The health education schedule
has been enlarged to permit
junior and intermediate boys and
girls for afternoon swim periods,
Monday through Friday. As a
new feature, the outdoor court
will be lined for shuffleboard.
The membership can later be
converted to a full year's mem-
bership. This offer ends on July
31. Further inquiries can be
made at the Center office.

Friday Fun Program for child-
ren from 10 to 13 years of age

Dear Boys and Girls:
Sunday, Decoration Day, is an
appropriate time for all of us to
take stock of what is happening
in the world.
As we pay honors to the men
who gave their lives for our coun-
try in the past, let us remember
that we must strive to protect
the lives of our valiant fighters
for freedom in the present war.
The best way to do that is to
provide our servicemen with the
best materials with which to
carry this war to victory.
On Wednesday and Thursday,
June 9 and 10, we will celebrate
Shovuoth. It is the Festival of the
Giving of the Law to the Jewish
people. It is also one of the great
harvest festivals, still observed as
such in commemoration of our
position as an agricultural people
in Palestine.
I wish you all a pleasant Sab-
bath.
UNCLE DANIEL.
To an audience that filled
practically every seat, Sunday
afternoon at the Masonic was a
session of music that will not
soon be forgotten. The Freiheit
Gesang Farein's 18th annual
concert brought together a pro-
gram of both quality and quan-
tity. In the opinion of this de-
partment, there was too much
quantity, though most of it good.
The chorus was under the able
direction of its new conductor,
Henri Goldberg .
The chorus was at its best in
Judas Maccabeus, but at times
seemed almost over-awed at
singing from the same platform
with the incomparable Alexand-
er Kipnis whose fine art lifted
the entire production to a high
level, ably assisted by Molly
Goldberg, soprano and Carl Neu-
mann, tenor formerly of the
Vienna Folks Opera who holds a
position as cantor with an im-
portant Boston congregation. A
fact that can be envied by many
local synagogues who could use
his great talents with benefit.
The program was rounded out
by a number of selections from
operatic and concert repretore by
Kipnis, a fine group of selections
by Ilya Schkolnik with Margrit
Herman A. Becker, 58, of 3261
Mannebach at the piano.
