One Jew was killed and the remaining 38 lost their homes in the earthquakes and fire which devastated the Greek islands two weeks ago. The 38 have since been re- moved to Athens where they are receiving JDC relief assistance. They will need long term rehabilitative and possible migration aid. The survivors include seven children un- der the age of 10 and four persons over 65. Five Jews in Morocco Riots; Raid on Jewish Quarters Repulsed First in 450 Years: Rabbi D. A. JESSU- RUN CARDOZO, spiritual leader of the Sephardi Center, the Bronx, N. Y., receives Torah from Rabbi HAROLD H. GOR- DON (left), general - secretary of the New York Board of Rabbis, just before he sailed aboard the American Export Liner Constitution for Spain. At right is Capt. JOSHUA GOLDBERG, U. S. Navy staff chaplain of the Eastern Sea Frontier. Rabbi Cardozo is going to Madrid, where he will be the first rabbi to serve in a synagogue in Spain in 450 years. The Spanish Inquisition, which resulted in the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, was applied to the Jews in 1478, and thereafter Jews were represented in Spain only by Marranos—Jews who were converted to Christianity but many of whom secretly remained Jews. In the 19th century, when liberalism began to triumph in Spain, some Jews settled in Madrid, Seville and Barcelona. Religious liberty was established with the declaration of the Spanish Republic. The total number of Jews in Spain today-- most of them residing in Barcelona—does not exceed 4,000. • PARIS, (JTA)—An attempted raid by a column of Arab nationalists on the Jew- ish quarter in Rabat, Morocco, was successfully repulsed by French police, the Paris ra-,- dio reported. The announcement added that police had dispersed the crowd without cas- ualties. Heavily armed police stood guard outside a synagogue in Ouja, in Easte.rn Moroc- co, while funeral services were held for four Jews — including an 11-year-old-girl- killed in rioting last week, it was reported here. A Jewish-owned pharmacy was burned down. Ouja, which is located near Algeria, was the scene of a pogrom in 1948 when the Jewish quarter was devasted by a mob. Five Jews were,killed and 30 injured at that time. Although the new pro-French Sultan of Morocco is reported to be friendly to- wards the country's 260,000 Jewish citizens, apprehension is still felt here over the possi- bility that the deposed nationalist Sultan might suddenly return and seize power again. It is generally believed that if the new Sultan remains in power, the Arab attitude to- wards the Jews here might improve. For several years, the Joint Distribution Committee has been conducting exten- sive child-care and medical aid.programs in behalf of some 75,000 destitute Jews in Mo- rocco, the vast majority of them children. German Court - Orders Rightist Party to Remove Anti-Jewish Posters BONN, (JTA)—A German court has ordered the German Party, rightist member of the West German coalition government, to remove anti-Semitic posters it had distrib- uted in Lower Saxony where the rightist party has its greatest strength. The posters, accusing Social Democratic leader Erich 011enhauer of being a Jew, were signed by the election chairman of the Gandersheim district of the German Party, who is a former Nazi -police captain awaiting reinstatement to his post. Printed in the black, white and red of Imperial Germany and the nationalist move- -ment, the placards contain a letter asking Mr. 011enhauer whether "rumors" that he is a Jew and served in the British army as a "Jewish emigrant" are true. Then the poster adds that the Social Democratic leader never replied to the letter of inquiry, thereby intimating that the "charges" are true.' The poster also chides the Socialist party for having picked its leader from among "the chosen people." Mr. 011enhauer brought suit for libel in a Brunswick court. The court granted a temporary injunction giving the German Party 24 hours to remove the posters. Mean- while in Bonn, Henrich Hellwege, Minister for Federal Affairs in the Adenauer Cabinet and national chairman of the German Party, has apologized to Mr. 011enhauer for the fact that he had been "degraded by such vicious personal attacks." In other areas of Germany photographs of Mr. 011enhauer on election posters have been defaced by stick- ers with the word "Jew" pasted across them. T h e 62 -year-old S o c i al i s t leader, who was elected a member of his party's executive in Germany at the time of Hitler's advent to power, emigrated with the other members of the executive to Prague, Paris and finally London before he returned to Ger- many in 1946. In the past, he has denied that he is Jewish, but has not managed to allay the neo-Nazi charges. The neo-Nazis have attempted to convince the Germans that he "looks" Jewish and that only Jews fled Germany during the Hitler regime, therefore he must be a Jew. •,..;* • ",.` Israel's firsts : These bouncing first genera- tion Israel's are the key to Israel's future as the New Year 5714 approaches. Pictured here at a nursing home near Tel Aviv, they can look forward to a brighter future thanks to the great effort of American Jewry in its support of the United Jewish Appeal. But Israel is still plagued by many economic problems. Widespread support of the UJA in 5714 can help Israel win its economic independenCe. Th United Jewish Appeal finances the immigration, settlement and re- habilitation programs of the United Israel Appeal, Joint Dis- tribution Committee and United Service for New Americans. ...................
