AMSTERDAM, (JTA) — The
Amsterdam City Council h a s
voted to rent the former Jewish
Theater in this city to the State
of Israel for the nominal rent
of one Dutch guilder for the
next 49 years. • The theater will
be converted and will become a
center for Israel art and com-
mercial expositions.

Nazis during the occupation to
imprison, at one time or an-
other, some 70,000 Dutch Jews.
From here they were loaded on
transports bound for various
Nazi death camps.
When the building is con-

about $140,000, it will include a
special room • commemorated to
the memory of the martyred

prise which transcends consid-
erations of creed and color was
illustrated graphically when Irv-
ing Rosenblum, treasurer for the
UJA Campaign in Jackson,
Tenn., received a check for $2,-

tive vice-president and editor of
the Jackson Sun, representing
the proceeds of the UJA Chris-
tian Committee 'campaign in
that community.
. Brown has served as leader of
Jackson's vigorous UJA Chris-
tian Committee -for six consecu-

the quota sought. Under his
leadership, the committee , has
averaged total contributions of
$2,000 or more each year, and
this year's $2,054 total surpassed

"It is rather Significant,"
Brown said, "that- 150 or more
Christians contribute to this
fund each year."
