New Housing Project
Delayed in Hasidic
Section in Brooklyn
,
Around the World...
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
New York City Board of Esti-
mate postponed a decision to go
ahead with two small housing
projects in the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn after mem-
bers of a Hasidic sect warned
that the projects would destroy
the Orthodox Jewish stronghold
in the section.
Speaking for a group of rab-
bis, Rabbi Pincus M. Titz said it
would be a "sad day" in Jewish
history "if this section is de-
stroyed." The Board heard 18
persons speaking in opposition
and 12 in favor before adjourn-
ing the public hearing until
March 27.
The two projects, one a 750-
apartment costing about
$13,000,000 and the other • a
100-unit apartment building
costing about $9,000,000, would
be state-aided low-rent develop-
ments. Foes of the project said
an important center of Jewish
religious life would be lost if
the Hasidic residents were
dispersed or dislocated.

JERUSALEM — A warning to Israel youth against ignoring
the Jews outside of Israel "lest they disappear as a community,
an irreparable loss to Israel," was voiced by Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann in an address to Hebrew University students.

new African republic. Her promise was made after a second
meeting with Premier Nkrumah and a tour of a number of im-
portant Ghana rural and urban centers. . . . The government of
Ghana is still awaiting reply to a query addressed to the Jordan

revealed by the Minister of Information.
Kaddish Provision in Benefactor's
Will Set Aside by New York Judge
NEW YORK (JTA)—A Jew-
ish Judge, Maximillian Moss,
issued a tentative ruling in
support of arguments of 59
Jewish institutions that they
could recite the Kaddish, the
Jewish prayer for the dead,
for the late Philip Schoenfeld,
even if they received his estate
in bulk rather than in perpetual
payments from a trust fund.
The real estate operator, who
died last April 16 in his Brook-
lyn home, at 71, left the bulk
of his $1,750,000 estate to the
religious, charitable and educa-
tional institutions as a trust on
condition that the institutions
arrange for the recitation of
Kaddish for him in perpetuity.
The will provided that the
principal sum of his estate be
invested in banks or in U. S.
Treasury notes with the inter-
est paid in perpetuity. This
meant that each beneficiary
would receive a comparatively
small sum annually forever,
ranging from $50 a year mini-
mum to $600 a year maximum.
Attorneys for the institutions
contested the will and asked for
lump sum payments. They testi-
fied that the fund would disap-
pear in 600 years and that there
was no inconsistency between
lump sum payments and per-
petual recitation of the Kaddish.
The tentative settlement also
provided that for not contesting
the will further, 31 relatives of
Mr. Schoenfeld will di v i d e
$340,700 instead of $264,000 as
provided in the will.

earmarked for compensation to Nazi victims in the West German
Federal budget being prepared for the coming fiscal year. . . .
PARIS — One of the largest Jewish community centers in
Western Europe is scheduled to be opened at Strasbourg. Con-
struction was made possible through funds donated by the French
government, Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against
Germany and local Jewish contributors. . . . Belgian police
raided a meeting of former Nazis held at Jand, a small Belgian
town on the German border, and broke up a meeting where anti-
Semitic slogans and speeches were the order of the evening.

projects, including construction of a sewage disposal unit for

LONDON — Methods of combatting Arab propaganda at
German universities will be discussed at the forthcoming meet-

repatriated from the Soviet Union to Poland do not take too
well to lengthy Marxist-Leninists speeches in youth clubs organ-
ized for them by Polish Jewish Communist leaders, the Warsaw
Yiddish language daily "folkstimme" reported this week. The
latest issue to arrive here from Warsaw notes that the young
people prefer social activities such as dancing in clubrooms to
what their Communist "instructors" offer in the way of political
lectures.
