Israel Jurist Feels at Horne on. American. Bench

NEW YORK, (JTA)—An Israel
Judge "feels perfectly at home"
in American courts, Judge Hel-
muth Lowenberg of the District
Court of Tel Aviv declared here
at the conclusion of a nine-week
visit to the United States as
guest of the American Jewish
Committee.
He praised American courts
for carrying out "the liberties
and free traditions of the com-
mon law in its truest form," add-
ing that although four systems
of law are competing for adop-
tion in his country "the courts
of Israel are following the courts
of the United States in teaching
its citizens the true meaning of
respect for law and order,"
The Israel jurist, who was the
youngest judge in the British
Empire when appointed to the
bench in Palestine in 1946, at
the age of 28, said that Israel
has made great strides in
streamlining its law and its
legal procedures.
"Israel unhesitatingly abolish-
ed bigamy in any form," Judge
Lowenberg reported, "and will
not tolerate it even for its Mos-
lem citizens. In addition, Israel
has established full equality of
men and women, the only coun-
try in the Near East to do so."
During his stay in the United
states, Judge Lowenberg visited
with U. S. Supreme Court Jus-
tice Felix Frankfurter, and sat

.

on the b en c h with General
Sessions Judge Abraham Geller
in Manhattan, Federal Judge
Phillip Forman of Trenton, and
with judges in Chicago, Cleve-
land and Boston.
