WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
United States Solicitor 'General
Simon E. Sobeloff expressed his
conviction this week that "de-
partures in our immigration
laws from the traditional role
of America as a haven for the
oppressed will before too long
be corrected, as the President ,
has urged.''
Conceding the "good motiva-
tions" 'of those who enacted the
present (McCarran-Walter) im-1
migration laws, Sobeloff de-
Oared in a speech here that
"these provisions are working
unnecessary hardships without
compensating advantage to the
nation and said they "go far
beyond the needs of security or
economic protection."
He expressed confidence that
"when realization of this enters
the heart of America, the Amer-
ican conscience will bring about
a restoration of the wiser and
more beneficient policies of an
earlier day."
The Solicitor General warned
in his speech, delivered to a
conference on citizenship, that
"thoughtless persons who speak
of averting national dangers by
surrendering some of our liber-
ties to save the rest are suffer-
ing from a fatal illusion.
"Once a country yields to such
allurements and takes the dead-
ly phinge, it can no more count
on reversing the process than a
man who has jumped out the
window can change his mind
and hope to halt his descent
and be restored to his former
safety."
presented the education report.
Mr. Kasle pointed out that the
schools are operating without a
deficit and that new teachers
are being added.to the staff. He
especially mentioned the coin-
ing to Detroit of the Israeli au-
thor, E. Shmueli, to teach for a
year at the Midrasha. Mr. Kasle
welcomed the affiliation with
the schools of the Sholem Alei-
chem school and the use made
of United Hebrew Schools facili-
ties by the suburban population.
Mr. Elazar said that with the
opening of the new branch the
schools will have a total studefA
population of 2,300.
At the dedication program,
under the chairmanship of Phil-
ip Slomovitz, greetings were ex-
tended by Dr. A. M. Hershman,
Samuel H. Rubiner, president of
the Jewish Welfare Federation;
Jacob Keidan, who spoke for the
Jewish Community Center; Abe
Kasle, Mandell Berman, who
spoke for the Berman family;
David Levi, who represented the
students of the new school
branch; Mesdames Herman
Wetsman and E. Stein, repre-
sentatives of the UHS Women's
Auxiliary and the new school's
PTO. Julius Schwartz, UHS mu-
sic director, accompanied by
Bella Goldberg, led in the sing-
ing of the national anthems and
directed singing by the school's
choir.
The new scho61 building will
be shared by the United Hebrew
Schools and the Jewish Com-
munity Center.

Lipsky Resigns from
Public Affairs Group
NEW YORK, (AJP) —L outs
Lipsky, veteran Zionist, has re-
signed froth the chairmanship
of the Zionist Public Affairs
Committee, a body founded sev-
eral months ago to handle all
political activities on behalf of
the Zionist Movement in Wash-
ington.
The reasons for Lipsky's resig-
nation appear threefold: lack of
funds for adequate action; re-
cent political activities of the
American Zionist Council in vio-
lation of defined tasks as
brought about by certain state-
ments made by Rabbi Irving
Miller, and ZOA's efforts to en-
ter the American political scene.
Asked for comment on his sur-
prising move, Lipsky replied: "I
have nothing to say about it?'

`The Sorceress'
Novel About Deborah
Nathaniel N o r s e n Weinreb,
whose "The Babylonians" had a
good sale last year, is the author
of a, new novel on a Biblical
theme, "The Sorceress," publish-
ed this week by Doubleday (575
Madison, NY22).
Mr. Weinreb has caught the
spirit of the famous Biblical
story. He follows the Testament
tale, and also uses other sources
for his material for this exciting
episode in ancient Jewish his-
tory.
Heroine and patriot, Deborah
Is portrayed masterfully in this
well told story • of the struggle
of the Israelites against the
Cannanites. The title is explain-
ed in the very last lines in which
the hero of the tale, Dael, tells
the King of Canaan that to him
Deborah always will be "the
greatest sorceress of theth all."
Break forth into joy, sing to-
gether, ye waste places pf Jeru-
salem; for the Lord hat com-
forted His people; He hath re- i
deemed. Jerusalem—Isaiah.
