LONDON, (JTA)—The Jewish
communities in Prague and
Bratislava are functioning un-
der administrative Communist-
controlled boards but "there is
no interference in ordinary re-
ligious activities, including
Schechita," Henri Landau, of
Brussels, reported to a confer-
ence of the European executive
body of the Agudath Israel.

The greater part of the es-
tate of the late Rabbi Louis
Epstein of Boston, a fellow of
the American Academy for
Jewish Research, has been be-
queathed to the Academy and
will be used for the publication
of classical Jewish texts and
books of original research in
Jewish studies, according to Dr.

Saul Lieberman, president Of
the Academy.
More than $40,000 in cash
from the bequest has already
been received by the Academy,
and the balance, totalling more
than $50,000 will be forthcoming
later this year.

With the opening of the ORT
.(Organization f o r Rehabilita-
tion through Training) courses
in Iran, the battle against the
Persian ghetto was begun. The
picture shows ORT students at
the recently opened Teheran
School standing atop their self-
built structure, proudly flanking
the Hanukah menorah and the
Israeli • flag, and pupils carrying
out the building operations at
the first ORT center in Teheran
under the direction of a local
architect. There are at present
two training workshops for car-
penters and masons which ac-
commodate 120 students who
are refugees from Kurdistan.
The school for agricultural me-
chanics already has 60 students
enrolled and the school for girls
who are receiving instruction in
sewing, cutting and shirtmaking
has 103 pupils. Most of the ORT
students plan to emigrate to Is-
rael and by receiving prior vo-
cational training they will enter
as independent 'and useful citi-
zens ready to participate in the
growing Israeli economy.
