AJC Backing
Pledged to Kill
McCarran Bill

Hirsch Adar, 100-year-old Jewish DP at Camp Lechfeld, in
Bavaria, Germany, receives congratulations on reaching the cen-
tury mark from Murray Sentner, area director for HIAS, the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. Probably the oldest Jewish DP
in Europe, the centenarian, who was a tailor in a small town near
Lublin, Poland, survived the war by hiding from the Nazis. He
spoke enthusiastically of the future as he prepared to emigrate
from Germany to start what he termed "a new life."

Two Recent Booklets
Tell Relation of Bible
To Modern Jewry

Two booklets, "The Jewish
Dietary Laws in the Day to Day
Life of the Jews" and "Patterns
of Health and Hygiene in JeW-
ish Life," published recently by
Joseph Jacobs provide an in-
-sight into the Biblical founda-
tions of modern Jewish culture
and habit.
Jacobs is head of the Joseph
Jacobs Organization, merchan-
dising and advertising special-
ists in the New York market,
whose idea of directing national
advertisers to the Jewish com-
munity has been profitable for
himself and useful to the com-
munity.
In his first pamphlet he deals
with the Kashruth, Jewish diet-
ary laws, explaining' how it is
an integral part of the Jewish
way of life. Restrictions record-
ed in the Books of Leviticus and
Deuteronomy, the laws Moses
laid down in the name of God,
are related in this fascinating
account of Jewish eating habits.
Jacobs tells the derivation of
the word Kosher and how it
came to be accepted by gentiles
and Jews alike.
In the booklet on Health and
Hygiene, Jacobs tells both brief-
ly and concisely why the Jews
are so conscientious, even today,
about care of the hair, finger-
nails and feet. He discusses
their eating habits and good
gener:al health.
Both booklets may be obtained
free, by writing to the Joseph
Jacobs Organization, 1 E. 42nd
St., New York 17, N. Y.

IRO Votes Extension
Beyond March Deadline

GENEVA, ' (JTA)—The execu-

tive committee of the Interna-
tional Refugee Organization
voted to extend the life of the
IRO beyond the March, 1951,
deadline which it had originally
set.
The committee decided to ex-
tend the program of the agency
until its task is completed. It
also voted to lift the Oct. 15,
1949, deadline for the resettle-
ment registration of refugees
with the IRO. Neither decision
will involve the expenditure of
additional funds. It is expected
that the 18-nation general cottn-
,pil of the IRO will ratify the ex-
ecutive committee's vote.
Speaking at the meeting,
Harry Rosenfield, member of
the U.S. DP Commission, said
that visas for the more than
300,000 refugees who are author-
ized to enter the U.S. as immi-
grants under the DP Act will
probably be issued by June 30,
1951. Over 200,000 DPs have al-
ready been selected and 138,000
of them are in the process of
leaving for America or have left,
he added.

Approximately 15,000,000
Americans have impaired hear-
ing. According to the newest
Census, that's 10 ner cent, of the
population

Remains of Israel Hero
Recall His Heroic Deeds

TEL AVIV (JTA)—A gal-
lant but futile act of bravery
by a young Jew during the
Arab invasion of the country
in 1948 was recalled when the
remains of Abraham Cohen
were found in a cave near
Nablus by an Israel Army
chaplain.
When Fauzi el-Kaukaji,
self-styled commander of the
Arab Liberation Army invad-
ed Palestine in 1948, Cohen
loaded a truck with explosives
and set off on a suicidal at-
tempt to blow up Kaukaji's
headquarters. He was be-
trayed by his guide, tried by
Kaukaji's military court and
immediately executed.

Educators Propose
Improved Relations
With S. American Jews

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A "good
neighbor program" to cement
relations between the Jewish
community of the United States
and the more than 500,000 Jews
in South America, and to aid
South American Jewish com-
munities in the development of
their educational and cultural
activities, was recommended to
the Plan and Scope Committee
of the American Association for
Jewish Education meeting here
by ;Dr. Aharon Kessler, director
of community services and con-
sultant for the Association, in
a report on his recently-com-
pleted survey tour of five major
South American countries.
Dr. Kessler, who studied Jew-
ish educational and cultural ac-
tivities in Brazil, Uruguay,
Argentina, Chile and Peru on
behalf of the Association and
the World Zionist Organization,
declared that the Jewish com-
munities in South America have
many serious and exaggerated
misconceptions about Jewish life
in the United States. He pro-
posed that a "Voice of Ameri-
can Jewry" program, similar to
the Voice of America, be creat-
ed to provide South American
Jewish periodicals and other
organs with clear, accurate and
sustained information on Jewish
life in the United States. He also
suggested a program of syste-
matic interchange of personnel
in the religious, educational and
social service fields between U.S.
and South American Jewish
communities, and the provision
of opportunities for South
American community function-
aries to study at universities in
the United States.

Crimes Against Jews Net
Ex-Gestapo Head 6 Years
MUNICH, (JTA) — Gustav

Rossbach, a former Gestapo
leader in Radom, Poland, has
been sentenced by a German
court at Ulm to serve: . six years'
imprisonment following his con-
viction on charges of having
committed war crimes against
Jews. At an earlier trial on the
S a in e charges, Rossbach re-
ceived an eight-year sentence.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Rabbi Ir-
ving Miller, president of the
American Jewish C o n g r e s s,
pledged support to the 10 U. S.
Senators who will seek repeal of
the McCarran-Wood measure
when Congress reconvenes next
month. The pledge was en-
dorsed by the national execu-
tive committee of the Congress.
The committee adopted a
resolution warning that rearm-
ament or remilitarization of
Germany without rigid safe-
guards and controls would con-
stitute a most serious threat to
world democracy and peace. It
also expressed serious concern
over "reports that the Allied
Powers are preparing to trans-
fer competence in restitution
matters . to the West German
authorities."
The committee called on the
U. S. Government to oppose any
transfer of powers in restitution
matters to the Bonn authorities
unless the following binding
undertakings are assumed by
Germany:

1. No amendment of existing restitu-
tion legislation which might be detrimen-
tal to the victims of Nazism:
2. The full maintenance of the status
and rights of successor organizations de-
signed to protect the interests of Nazi
victims;
3. Decisions and opinions handed down
by United States courts in connection
with restitution appeals must be considered
an integral part of any German legis-
lation ;
4. The rights of absentee owners and
claimants are not to be inferior to those
granted to claimants residing iri Germany;
5. Restituted property belonging to ab-
sentees should not be subject to levies
and taxes for German reconstruction and
reparation purposes.

sion against Arabs and the

rael armed forces" have re-

SAN FRANCISCO, (JTA)—All

suited in the forcible expulsion
of more than 6,000 Palestinian
Arabs from Israel into Egyptian
territory.
He told the Council that he
had received a further com-
plaint from his government that
more than 500 Arabs had been
compelled to cross the Israel
border at the end of last week.
Israel representative Abba
Eban accused Egypt of "gross in-
ternational misconduct" in
bringing utterly false charges
before the Security Council. He
said the Egyptians evaded the
established and proper pro-.
cedure of the mixed armistice
commission, which not o n1 y
threw suspicion on the charges
but in itself constituteed non-
compliance with the armistice
agreement.
Mr. Eban introduced an
amendment to t h e American
plan for more effectively or-
ganizing the UN to act in the
event of aggression, which would
limit the use of UN armed
forces to opposing aggression
rather. than to reacting to
threats to the peace.
