BONN, (JTA)—In a draft
amendment to the law dealing
with the payment of pensions to
civil servants dismissed by the
Nazis for racial, religious or po-
litical reasons, the Ministry of '
the Interior has suggested that
Werner Krauss Awarded
Highest Theatrical Honor
VIENNA, (JTA)—The "Iffland
Ring," for the past century the
highest distinction to which a
German-language actor can as-
pire, was conferred upon Werner
Krauss, at a ceremony here,
after he had been selected by a
vote of the "Cartel Association
of German-Speaking Members
of the Stage."
The award to the Nazi actor
who played in "Jew Suess" is
considered particularly offensive
because the previous holder of
the "Iffland Ring" was Albert
Bassermann, who had expressly
refused to pass it on a Krauss.
Basserman spurned the • most
tempting offers made to him by
Propaganda Minister Jos e f
Goebbels and went into exile
during the Hitler regime, as a
gesture of protest against Naz-
im and of loyalty to his Jewish
wife.
Israel's wrestling rabbi,
Raphael Halpern, assumed the
traditional victory pose after
winning an important match
in New York recently. Hal-
pern, Israel's wrestling cham-
pion, is a popular figure in
arenas here, and is known as
one of the few sportsmen left
in the game.
Israel Kings Time Wali
Uncovered in Jerusalem
LONDON, (JTA)—The Jordan
government's Department of An-
tiquities has begun work on un-
covering a large section of the
wall _surrounding the ancient
city of Jerusalem of the period
when it was capital of the Israel-
ite kings, the Times of London
reported from the Arab-held
section of Jerusalem.
The report said the wall had
been uncovered outside the
southeast corner of the Haram
Alsherif and that the unearthed
portion runs 65 feet in a straight
line. It' noted that the existence
and general direction of the wall
has been known since 1886.
UN Chief Justifies
Detention of Syrian Plane
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Syr-
ian passenger plane forced to
land in Israel by Israel fighter
planes committed a technical
error when it failed to identify
itself while passing an Israel
control zone, United Nations ex-
perts said in comment on the
incident.
Several newspapers have criti-
cized the government for releas-
ing the Syrian plane before the
Syrians returned five Israel sol-
diers kidnaped near the Israel-
Syrian border. Gen. E. L. M.
Burns, UN trace supervisor, has
gone to Damascus to discuss the
release of the Israel soldiers.

Italian Folk Music
ROME, (JTA)—In a project
directed by Dr. Leo Levi, the
Italian National Center for
Studies of Popular Music has
begun recording traditional Jew-
ish folk melodies as they have
developed in various Italian
communities.
The program calls for the re-
cording of some 500 songs, many
of which must be saved soon
since the communities in which
they developed have already

This conscious attempt to

has already brought' about the
recording of- ritual themes and
festive music from more than a

Anti-Shechita Bill In
British Parliament
LONDON, (JTA) — Jews in
Britain may be faced with a sit-
uation' where they twill have no
kosher meat if a bill to amend
the present Slaughter of Ani-
mals Act- is passed by Parlia-
ment. The House of Commons
gave R. G. Crouch, Conserva-
tive, the right to introduce such
a bill, but stipulated that it
could not be , submitted before
April 29, 1955.
Mr. Crouch's measure would
amend the regulations govern-
ing slaughter of animals in such
fashion as to be unacceptable
to the Jewish religious author-
ities. It is expected that strong
representations - will be made
against the bill by the Jewish
community.

certain benefits of that law be
extended to former German uni-
versity lecturers and professors
who were not in a technical
sense members of the German
civil service, and are therefore
not at present entitled to in-
demnification.
Full and associate professors
have always been covered by the
law, but not the subordinate
grades of professors and lectur-
ers. This state of affairs has
proved injurious to German
prestige, says the government, in
view of the fact that the latter
group includes Jewish scholars
who have in the meantime dis-
tinguished themselves in other
countries.
The government draft of the
amendment has been trans-
mitted to the Federal Council
for consideration.
