UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA) — "There will be no
change in the Federal German
Republic's stand on restitution
to victims of Nazism," Willy
Brandt, Mayor of West Berlin,
declared here. The Mayor ad-
dressed United Nations corre-
spondents after
a call on UN
Secretary Gen-
eral Dag Ham-
marskjold.
"Our Chan-,
cellor
made that
point absolute-
ly clear," the
Brandt
Mayor said. "It
is true that our Minister of Jus-
tice, Dr. Fritz Schaeffer, who
was formerly our -Minister of
Finance, has made certain state-
ments regarding restitution. I
said at home and feel free to
repeat now that some of Dr.
Schaeffer's statements were de-
plorable. Dr. Schaeffer was wor-
ried about figures and about our
country's budget problems. I am
afraid, however, that in some
instances he was given the
wrong figures."
Asked about a statement made
recently by Dr. Hans Galinski,
president of the Council of Ger-
man Jews, warning against a
resurgence of neo-Nazism in
Germany, the ,Mayor replied:
"I certainly would like to dis-
cuss this statement with my
friend, Dr. Galinski, when I re-
turn. I would not be willing to
express the fears about neo-

Nazism in this way. It must be
remembered that in Germany,
rather important sections of the
population did favor the Nazi
movement. It follows of course
that it would not be likely that
no individual German would to-
day be expressing views influ-
enced by Hitlerism. However, I
can say with certainty that no
neo-Nazi group has any support
or considerable representation
in any Parliamentary body."
Asserting that he was thor-
oughly familiar with student life
in West Germany, Brandt said
emphatically, "the development
of the younger generation in
our country is very hopeful and
most encouraging."
In response to a question by
an Arab correspondent as to
whether West Germany in-
tended to sell arms to Israel,
the Mayor said: "I have not been
confronted with that problem.
It is not my responsibility." He
added that he did not think the
Bonn-Israel reparations agree-
ment contained any clauses
about shipments of military
equipment to Israel.
Pressed by the Arab reporter
as to his stand on the German-
Israel reparations agreement, he
replied: "It is well known that
my party, the Social Democratic
party, played a very active role
regarding the reparations prob-
lem. A good many leading mem-
bers of my party have been in
Israel. I myself have an invita-
tion to visit Israel. I regret that
such a visit will not be possible
this year but I do hope to go
to Israel next year."

MORRIS GARVETT
* * *
Morris Garvett
Named to Head
Book Fair in 1958
Morris Garvett, local attorney,
civic figure and member of the
Jewish Community Center's
board of directors, will head the
over-all committee for the sev-
enth annual Jewish Book Fair ;
scheduled for Nov. 22-24.
Announcement of the appoint-
ment was made by Jacob L.
Keidan, Center president.
Garvett succeeds Dr. Norman
Drachler, who will continue his
close affiliation with Book Fair
in a consultative capacity, as
will Mrs. Harry L. Jackson,
chairman of the first three fairs.
A former Center president,
Garvett is active in the Jewish
Welfare Federation and its
agencies. Until the expiration
of his term early this month,
he - was chairman of JWF's edu-
cation, budget and planning di-
vision, a member of the JWF
Board of Governors, and of its
executive committee.
He is a past vice-president of
the Jewish Community Council,
a former board member of the
Jewish Vocational Service, and,
at present, is a member of Sinai
Hospital's board of directors.
A senior member of the law
firm of Levin, Levin, Garvett
and Dill, he also is a member of
the board of directors of the
Detroit Service Group; the De-
troit Round Table of Catholics,
Jews and Protestants; and a
member of the advisory corn-
mittee of the Detroit Commis-
sion on Children and Youth.
His other organizational af-
filiations include Bnai Brith,
American, Michigan, and De-
troit Bar Associations and the
Lawyer's Club of the University
of Michigan.
He is already familiar to
Book Fair visitors as Men's
Night chairman for last year's
event.
LONDON, (JTA)—In spite
of the fact that the two "fed-
erated" Arab blocs have deep
differences of their own, both
federations have in common "a
negative background of hostility
to Israel," Moshe Sharett warn-
ed here. Israel's former Prime
Minister and Foreign Minister
spoke at a campaign dinner of
the Joint Palestine Appeal, at
which the sum of 60,000 pounds
sterling was contributed.
"The rift between the two
Arab unions," stated Sharett,
"does not mean necessarily that
they are ready for settlement
with Israel. Their attitude is
aggravated by the fact that a
big power bases its Middle East
policy on hostility to Israel. In
the cases of both federations,
Arab unity is forged for the
negative purposes of rivalry
amongst themselves and a strug-
gle against israel."
However, added Mr. Sharett,
"theoretically, constructive
chances of Arab-Israel synthesis
stand undiminished," These
possibilities, he declared, "serve
as an ever-present challenge to
Rothman Named
Sinai Asst. Director
William A. Rothman has been
appointed assistant director at
Sinai Hospital. His duties en-
compass patient relations and
medical education.
He came to Sinai from Mai-
monides Hos-

The son of
Dr. Emil Roth-

Sinai Hospital,
Rothman was
born and
raised in De-

ceieved his Bachelor's degree
from the University of Michigan
and his Master's degree in hos-

Arab statesmanship." In prac-
tice, he pointed out, "Israel
must heed the lessons of the
past, and rely more on her
own strength and such inter-
national support as she is able
to enlist, rather than on the
wisdom and sanity of the Arab
opponents."
"If the merger of Syria and
Egypt is to serve as a nut-
cracker against Israel, the nut
must be strong enough to break
the arms of the would-be
cracker," Sharett said.
