NEW YORK, (JTA) —A f ter
more than four years of litiga-
tion, instituted by the American
Jewish Congress, the United
States Court of Appeals has re-
stored citizenship to Morris
Mendelsohn, a naturalized
American who has been strand-
ed in Israel since 1936.
Mendelsohn, who went to Pal-
estine in 1936 to manage orange
groves owned by his father, was
forced to remain there when, in
1940, Congress passed the ,Neu-
trality Act which revokes the
citizenship of naturalized Amer-
icans remaining out of the U. S.
continually for . five years.
War conditions, financial re-
verses and the illness of his wife
prevented - Mendelsohn f r o
leaving within the. delegated
time, and the State Department
cancelled his passport and re-
fused permission to re-enter the
country.
AJC raised the issue of dis-
crimination in the Nationality
Act, pointing out that citizen-
ship .rights would not be taken
away from native-born Ameri-
cans who likewise stayed away
from the U. S. for more than
five years.
The Court, while upholding
AJC on Mendelsohn, failed to
rule on the prime issue of dis-
crimination. AJC officials said
they were "disappointed" that
the court failed to rule on the
Constitutional issues and said
that the statute, now a part of
the McCarran Act, "will perpet-
uate discrimination against nat-
uralized Americans."

No Cabinet Crisis Expected Following
Flare-lip Between Rokach and Lavon

JERUSALEM, (JTA) -- New
trouble flared in the govern-
ment coalition as a result of a
bitter exchange - between In-
terior Minister Israel Rokach
and Minister without portfolio
Pinhas Lavon over the latter's
charges that the Interior Min-
ister was mismanaging relations
with the municipalities.
The Israeli press gave the dis-
pute wide coverage, but both
Mapai and General Zionist
spokesmen discounted the like-
lihood of a Cabinet breach.
Health Minister Joseph Serlin, a
General Zionist, called for a
discussion aimed at ironing out
the difficulties.
At a regional meeting • of
representatives of municipalities
which was held in Tel Aviv two
weeks ago, Mapai mayors and
councillors voiced a number of
grievances and urged Lavon to
raise the question with the Gen-
eral Zionist Minister of Interior.
Rokach, who defended his poli-
cies, in turn attacked the Mapai
for not carrying out on the
municipal level the coalition
