of Nazism, we must press also
for the satisfaction of other
claims against Germany in re-
spect to individuals, successor
organizations and others.
"There is, for instance, the
problem of pressing for full
implementation of the princi-
ple of individual restitution
and indemnification for Jew-
ish victims of Nazism. Addi-
tionally, this conference must
press for the restitution by
the Federal German Govern-
men .of heirless and other
unclaimed property taken or
destroyed by the Nazi regime.
Where no legal heirs survive,
it is clear that justice de-
mands that restitution be
made to bodies representative
of the Jewish people.
"The third problem facing
this conference concerns pro-
cedures to be adopted should
we agree to deal directly with
the Germans. It appears that
two negotiating groups would
be necessary—one represent-
ing the government of Israel
and the other representing
this conference. But it is
clear that the two delegations
would have to act in closest
to-ordination.
"If the negotiations take
place, they should be held in
some 'neutral' spot outside of
Germany. I have no reason to
think that the Germans would
object to such a procedure,
and in any case, we should in-
sist upon it."
Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig,
reaffirmed that body's unequivo 7
cal support of the Israeli claim
against Germany and its belief
in the need for the continued
existence of the conference on
Jewish claims but stated .. thai,-
the Executive Coun1=;11 --- Was op-
posed to r.i_tect negotiations with
_Gel-Mai-1y on. the grounds that
every other avenue of approach
has not yet been exhausted. Dr.
Perlzweig, who personally is in
favor of direct negotiations out
of the belief that no other prac-
tical method of securing the Is-
raeli claim is available, abstain-
ed from casting a ballot in the
name of the Executive Council
on the question of direct nego-
tiations.
Beigin Calls for Civil
Disobedience on Issue
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—A call for
*Lyn disobedience against any
contact by the Israel govern-
ment with Germany was voiced
by Menahem Beigin, Herut lead-
er, speaking at a mass meeting.
He stressed that he and his
party were not prepared to or-
ganize an underground move-
ment but will mobilize public
on this issue in a dem-
ocratic fashion.
The right-wing leader appeal-
s(' to all opposition parties to
petition Parliament to hold a
national referendum on the
question of conducting direct
negotiations with Germany for
reparations claims. He also sug-
gested that the Knesset's deci-
sion to bar him from Parlia-
mentary sessions until after the
Passover recess for his part in
the anti-Parliament riots of
several weeks ago and the
charges against him be put be-
fOre - the Supreme Court because
the Knesset has no authority to
"interfere" with his membership
in that body.
A in e e t n g of the Herut
Party's central council pledged
solidarity with Mr. Beigin even
to the extent of every Herut
deputy walking out of Parlia-
ment if Mr. Beigin is barred.
Most persons arrested during
the Herut demonstration out-
side Israel's parliament have
been released. Only eight are
still in custody and are waiting
to be tried.
Revisionists Condemned
NEW YORK, (AJP) — A pub-
lic advertisement inserted in
the Times by the Revisionist-
Zionist Organization of America
attacking "police state" rule by
Israel over Jerusalem anti-re-
paration rioting touched off a
wave of condemnation ranging
from "endangering the Zionist
cause and Israel" to an active
move to bar the. Revisionists
from membership -in the Ameri-
can Zionist Council.
The strongest reaction to the
Revisionist ad was an emer-
gency meeting of ' delegates to
t h e American Zionist Council.
The conference, convened at the
home of AZC Chairman Louis
Lipsky, assailed the Jabotinsky
followers.
The Revisionist ad, headlined
"Is Israel Becoming a Police
State?", accused the Israel gov-
ernment of "brazenly disregard--
gravitY of the
manifestations" in J e r u salem
where Herut Party staged a riot
last week to protest direct nego-
tiations between Israel and Ger-
many over reparations.
Another charge aimed at the
Israel government alleged "a
dictatorial r e g i m e of brute
force."

leaders, cannot afford to have
their grievances against Jews,
and primarily against Israel,
aired in a paid advertisement in
the non-Jewish press.
"The Revisionist party," Dr.
Churgin. declared, "has free ac-
cess to the Jewish .,_press in
America, whether Yiddish or
English-Jewish."
If the aim of the Revision-
ists had been to win sympathy
from Jewish readers, Dr.
C h u r gin contended, "they
could not have done more
damage to their cause than
they did by inserting the ad-•
vertisement."
f Butzel Bldg. Dedication
In keeping with Fred M. Butzel's deep interest in music, one
of the major events of the Fred M. Butzel Memorial Building
dedication this week was a concert, arranged by Julius Chajes and.
the Jewish Center music department. J. Dorsey
Callaghan, music critic of the Detroit Free Press
who was principal speaker at the Jan. 14 event,
paid tribute to Butzel's love for music.
One of the most stirring moments at the
dedication program on Sunday occurred when
Michigan State Supreme Court Justice, Henry M.
Butzel, viewed the picture of his brother, which
was painted expressly for the new building.

The religious - Zionist Mader
feared that "many an anti-
Zionist and anti-Semite has re-
joiced over this statement. The
condemnation of Israel's regime
by a Zionist group may cause
damage not only to the current
regime, but to the State of Is-
rael and its people who are now
passing through a bitter crisis."
Poll Favors Negotiations
An estimated 66 per cent of
voluntary voters in a semi-
national poll conducted by a
Yiddish daily paper are reported
favoring direct Jewish negotia-
tions with West Germ-any.
The poll, conducted by the
Jewish Morning Journal, posed

claims? Was an indirect nego-
tiating set-up preferable? Or,
should no negotiations be car-
ried out with the Germans?
Returns show that , an esti-
mated 66 per cent of voters
favor direct negotiations with
; Germany over Jewish claims; 20
per cent favor indirect dealings
with the Bonn Government
while a remaining 14 per cent
oppose all dealings with Ger-
