Embassy in Jordan Ordered
To Intervene for U.S. Jew

Tax Exemption Statute
For Parochial Schools
Declared Void by Courts

OAKLAND, Calif., (JTA) —
A California court ruled uncon-
stitutional a law giving private
non-profit schools — chiefly
parochial schools — tax exemp-
tions. The decision of the Ala-
meda County State Superior
Court will be appealed to the
State Supreme Court.
The judge who announced the
decision said that the law ex-
empting parochial schools from
taxation conflicted with an ar-
ticle of the state Constitution
which permitted tax exemptions
to hospitals and religious and
charitable institutions. The
Constitution makes no mention
of educational institutions and
on this basis the judge ruled out
the law giving tax relief to pri-
vate schools.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) —The State Department has
ordered the U.S. embassy in Jordan to help an American
Jew whose request the Embassy had turned down because
he was Jewish, Sen. Herbert H. Lehman's office announced
here.
Elliott L. Biskind of New York had complained to
Sen. Lehman that the Embassy refused recently to try to
obtain for him information on how to go about registering
for property owned by him and his brothers in the Old
City of Jerusalem, now in Jordanian hands. The Embassy
told Mr. Biskind it did not "deem it appropriate" to aid
Jews in view of the "particularly violent anti-Jewish feel-
ing prevailing at the present time in Jordan."
Sen. Lehman took the matter to the State Department
and his office said the Department "has now replied, ad-
vising us that the Embassy at Amman has been directed
to approach the officials of Jordan and to try to obtain
from them the necessary information" requested by Mr.
Biskind. The State Department said it would notify Sen.
Lehman when a reply is received from Amman.

away last May, was a co-founder of Cleveland Hadassah. Mrs.
Medvin's mother—Mrs. Biskind's sister—is Mrs. Nathan Manheim
