Arabs Bar Wailing Wall
To Jews on Tisha b'Av
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Despite
repeated promises by United Na-
tions personnel that the Arabs
in control of the Old City of
Jerusalem would make arrange-
ments for Jews to be admitted to
the Holy Places there, not a single
Jew was permitted to visit the
Wailing Wall on the eve of Tisha
b'Av. In pre-war years thou-
sands of Jews from all over the
country flocked to the Wailing
Wall to recite the Lamentations,
marking the destruction of the
ancient Temple.
Arab authorities of the Old
City have changed the name of
the Jewish quarter there to the
Mouidin — Fighters — quarter.
Jews, barred from the Wailing
Wall, have assembled in dimly-
lit synagogues to recite the La-
mentations. Many American
visitors attended the services.
All employees of the Israeli
government who observed the
Tish b'Av by fasting were ex-
cused from work. The Knesset
began meeting earlier with the
Speaker reciting verses from the
Prophet Zacharias.

Two scholarships honoring the
memory of David Guzik, hero
of the Warsaw ghetto and Joint
Distribution Committee director
who helped feed Poland's Jews
and arm them against the Nazis,
have been established by JDC.

possible by a gift from Wladis-

director and only surviving
member of the Guzik faMily.
David Gtizik, who was associated
with JDC in Poland for 26 years,
directed underground relief ac-
tivities in his native Poland
throughout the German occupa-
tion. Emerging from the ghetto
after liberation, he continued to
direct JDC relief, resettlement
and reconstruction operations in
Poland until his death in an
airplane crash. in Czechoslovakia
on March 5, 1946.
Recipients of the Guzik schol-
arships, the announcement said
will be two young Jewish refu-
gees now in Paris, Mlle. Mar-
celle Morre, a sculptress, and
Stephen Zador, a biochemist.
