Rout Neo-Nazi Extremists in West German Vote
BONN, (JTA)—Three Jewish
members of the outgoing BLIP.-
destag (Lower. House) were re-
elected in West Germany's na-
tional elections to seats in the
new Parliament. All three are
Social Democrats. Jakob Alt-
meier was re-elected from Ha-
nau, near Frankfurt; Peter
Blochstein was re-elected from
Hamburg and Jeanette Wolff
was named by the Berlin City
Assembly as one of Berlin's del-
egates to the Bundestag.
While the total strength of
the rightest parties remained at
about 20 percent, the two unre-
generately and most avowedly
neo-Nazi groups in the running,
the German Reich Party and
the Nationalist Rally, together
received only 1.5 percent of the
votes. They were not represented
on about half the State tickets,
however.
Dr. Franz Boehm, who headed
the German delegation in the
reparations negotiations with
Israel, won a surprise victory in
a formerly Social Democratic -
stronghold in Frankfurt. He told.
the JTA that the citizens of
Frankfurt, by electing him, had
supported those things he stood
for in German life—his role in
the negotiations, his leadership
of the . Frankfurt Society for.

"The universal significance of
Jerusalem as a spiritual center
makes it fitting that we of the
Jewish faith herald the New
Year by commemorating Jeru-
salem's 3,000th anniversary," Dr.
Goldstein said. "It is particularly
fitting that this historic occa-
sion be celebrated as a means of
aiding the redevelopment and
revival of the great city through
the State of Israel Bond Issue,
which is playing a dominant
role in the development of Jeru
salem and of all Israel."

Rosh Hashanah
A ten-day period of spiritual
inventory began for the Jews of
the world at sunset on Wednes-
day, when the Jewish New Year
was ushered in with religious
services in synagogues through-
out the world.
The evening services on the
New Year, or Rosh Hashanah,
are followed by devotions on
Thursday, and by Orthodox and
Conservative Jews also on the
following day. The subsequent
period until Saturday, Sept. 19,
is known in the Jewish tradition
as the High Holydays, or days
of special sacredness dedicated
to repentance and spiritual re-
generation. The Jewish New
Year is ,unique among religious
observances in that it commem-
orates no historical event, al-
though tradition assigns the
birth of the world to this day.
The prayers and the music of
the synagogue on this day stress
the theme of God's universal
rule of the world and the broth-
erhood of man. The liturgy is
featured by the sound of the
shofar, or ram's horn, which is
designated as a call to con-
science and is meant to arouse
man's innate goodness to do
combat with unworthy conduct.
According to tradition, the
High -Holydays this year intro-
duces the year 5714. In the
United States, this year will be
marked by the celebration of
the 300th Anniversary of the
arrival of -the _first Jews on the
shores of America. ,
He will keep the feet of his
saints, and the wicked shall be
silent in darkness; for by
strength shall no man prevail.—
I Sam: 2:9.
