land Region of the Jewish Wel-
fare Board. This is typical of
him: community service comes
ahead of other considerations.
This attitude, which is re-
flected in a quarter of a cen-
tury of service, explains the
recognition that has been
given him by Detroit Jewry,
in his selection for the high-
est positions in our communal
agencies: whatever he attained
was well earned, by dint of
sincere and hard work for
Jewry's causes.
Identified with every cam-
paign of the Detroit Community
Fund, he served last year as co-
chairman of the commercial and
professional division of the
Torch Fund drive. Since the
formation of the Jewish Welfare
Federation 25 years' ago, he has
been active- in every community
campaign and in all the Allied
Jewish Campaigns and for the
past two years served as chair-
man of the mercantile division.
Prior to becoming president .
of the Federation, as Federation
vice-president and member of its
executive committee, in the past
two years, he negotiated loans
exceeding $5,000,000, to provide
cash for overseas emergencies
for the United Jewish Appeal.
Mr. Rubiner is married to the
former Dorothy Frank. They
have two daughters, Marianne,
a student at the University of
California, and Kathryn, a stu-
dent at Michigan State -College,
and a son, Allen, a student at
Cranbrook.

LONDON, (JTA) — Between
seven and eight thousand Jews
may be affected by the new
check on war aliens residing in'
Britain which was announced
by Home Secretary James Chu-
ter Ede. These Jews are among
the 275,000 displaced persons
brought here from Germany to
serve in a variety of labor for-
ces. None of these DPs was ever
individually screened.
Elderly Jewish DPs who were
admitted to Britain under' the
"distressed relatives" plan will
not be affected by the new
check since they were admitted
on individual visas. Similarly,
Jews Who served in the Polish
armed forces attached to Brit-
ish units are not expected to be
touched by the new regulation
since most of them have already
become naturalized citizens.
Legal Complications Arise in UN
Over Enforcement of Genocide Act
LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)—Ma
jority support shaped up in the
UN Legal Committee for a res-
olution that would delay for at
least a year the termination of
the procedure to be used in
handling reservations to the
genocide convention, which sev-
eral days ago secured the requi-
site ratification to bring the
pact into force on Jan. 12, 1951.
The world's two major powers'
—the United States and Russia
— are - considering ratification
of the genocide treaty with res-
ervations, and the Legal Corn-
mittee's resolution would seek
ruling on such reservations from
both the International' Court of
Justice at The Hague and the
UN's International Law Com-
mission. The question at issue
is whether or not all or only
some of a convention's ratifiers
must accept reservations before
a 'reserving Country's ratifica-
tion becomes valid.
Proponents of the genocide
convention have feared that de-
lay in deciding this question
might postpone ratification by
the United States. However,'
Jack B. Tate, American repre-
sentative on the Legal Commit-
tee, told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency today that there was no
basis for such an assumptibn.
Pointing out that the problem
of handling reservations to mul-
tilateral conventions had been
unsolved for 150 years, he said'
that the interim period of the
next year or so would represent
no change from the past and
expressed the view that the U. S.
Senate would not be deterred by
this particular issue.
About 3,000,000 children are
threatened with hearing loss.

Turkish Schools to Give
Religious Instruction
ISTANBUL, (JTA)— Religious
instruction in the eight wholly
Jewish schools in Turkey is ex-
pected to begin as soon as the
government department of pub-
lic education, which ordered the
teaching of religion in all
schools, approves a new text on
JeWish religion written' by the
Chief Rabbinate.
Although religious teaching
was optional in the past the
Jewish schools could not offer
such courses because of lack of
adequate texts.,
French schools in Istanbul,
however, were giving religidus
instruction to Jewish students,
using - French textbooks.
The trend among Jews in this
'city is to send their 'children .
to French and American secon-
dary schools rather than to the
Jewish school registration has
declined severly and the admin-
istretion has been criticized by
segments of the community.
