Rabbi to Receive
Schechter Award
A unique and successful ap-
proach to the problem of
juvenile delinquency by a com-
munity organization came to
light with the announcement of
the Solomon Schechter Awards
of the United Synagogue of
America.
The awards committee has
voted to confer its Social Action
Award to Temple Emanuel,
Staten Island, N.Y., for direct
participation in the rehabilita-
tion of more than 350 cases of
former or incipient juvenile
delinquents through a combined
program of work placement and
religious counseling. The pre-
sentation will be made to Rabbi
Benjamin B. Wykansky, spirit-

Post Office, which runs the
country's telephone system, to
permit neutral experts to ex-
amine the automatic billing
equipment used by the Post
Office to establish whether or
not it is faulty, as charged, and
is overcharging telephone sub-
scribers.
Israelis have been protesting,
in letters to the newspapers and
elsewhere, that ever since the
introduction of inter-urban auto-
matic dialing, their phone bills
have become inordinately high
and that the automatic billing
equipment has been, cheating
them. The Post Office heatedly
denied this.
One irate bill payer finally
made a test case. He acted
under an old law dating back
to the days of the British Man-
date, and demanded that the
Post Office rent him individual
counting equipment_ to check his
phone bills.
The Post Office said it had no
Such equipment available on a
rental basis. The subscriber
thereupon sought an order nisi
from the Supreme Court which
called for a neutral expert
study of the charges.
