The American Ambassador to
Morocco, Charles W. Yost, has
called the aid given by the Joint
Distribution Committee to vic-
tims of the Agadir earthquake
"an excellent portrayal of the
American tradition of helping
those in need."
in a letter to the JDC Di-
rector for Morocco, Henry
Kirsch, Ambassador Yost lauded
JDC for its "spontaneous and
effective assistance to the vic-
tims" of the Agadir tragedy.
Since the earthquake, JDC
has been providing assistance
to some 1,000 Jewish survivors
from Agadir in the neighboring
village of Inezgane. Some 600 of
these survivors, who were shelt-
ered temporarily at a Moroc-
can Army camp near Casa-
blanca, have now found refuge
with the Jewish communities of
Casablanca and other Moroccan
cities.
First German Film
Completed in Israel
BERLIN, (JTA) — The first
German-Israel f i 1 m , "Blazing
Sand," has been completed in
partnership with Ran-Film, an
Israel company, Raphael Nuss-
baum, president of Aero-Film of
Berlin, announced here.
Nussbaum said the adventure
movie was filmed entirely in
Israel and Jordan and has Ger-
man, English and Hebrew
sound-tracks. Nussbaum said he
found his firm in 1959 to foster
better understanding between
nations, particularly Israel and
West Germany. He said he felt
this goal could best be reached
through the film medium.
The producer, who holds both
West German and Israel pass-
ports, was born in Berlin and
lived during the war in Pales-
tine. He is still looking for a
distributor for the film.

Christian Covers Funds
Stolen from Synagogue
FORT WAYNE, Ind., (JTA)
—Rabbi Seymour Weller, whose
B n a i Jacob synagogue was
smeared with swastikas and
burglarized on April 15, told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that it was generally agreed by
police and , community leaders
that the vandalism was not the
work of pranksters.
The sum of $300 which was
stolen from the Synagogue
office, was made up by a con-
tribution of a Christian, the
rabbi revealed. He said that
letters have been received from
all parts of the United States,
mainly from non-Jews, express-
ing. sympathy to the congrega-
tion. At the suggestion of Dr.
Elmer E. Voelkel, pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational
Church, a group of Christian
ministers helped to clean up
the swastikas as a gesture of
brotherhood and sympathy.
Rabbi Weller said that while
no arrests had been made in
the case, police had informed
him some clues had been
found. He stressed that he had
not asked for police protection
for the synagogue. In amplify-
ing his statement that the van-
dalism might have been the
work of an organized group,
the rabbi said no fingerprints
had been found and no paint
drippings. "It was a carefully
executed job. It does not look
like a prank," he declared.
CHICAGO, (JTA)—The Chi-
cago Council of Traditional
Synagogues warned that situa-
tions were increasing in which
adopted children of Jewish fam-
ilies were reaching Bar Mitzvah
preparation and even readiness
for wedding ceremonies before
it was found they had never
been converted to Judaism.
The Council said that adop-
tions by Jewish families in Chi-
cago were increasing and urged
such parents to make certain
the child was fully converted.
During the preparatory inter-
view of such boys for Bar Mitz-
vah, "it is discovered, frequent-
ly inadvertently, that the child
is adopted and had never been
converted according to Jewish
law," the Council said. "This
creates an embarrassing situa-
tion which could and shoUld
have been avoided in the early
years of adoption."
French Negotiate
Financing of Gas
Pipeline in Israel
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—French
investors may participate in the
financing of a gas pipeline from
a field near the Dead Sea to
Sdom and Beersheba.
Israel is planning to build a
short pipeline from the Zohar
field to Sdom. The joint project
calls for a 12-inch pipeline
from Sdom to Beersheba at a
cost of 4,000,000 pounds ($2,-
240,000).
Oberlaender's Resignation

mise" on the Arab refugee
issue.
He said such negotiation or
compromise was necessary to
insure a peaceful and lasting
settlement of this problem.
Urging continued American
support of the UNRWA pro-
gram for Arab refugees, Jones
said that "had UNRWA gone
out of existence, this would
have created a serious internal
security problem for all of the
Arab host governments and
would have been a blow to the
general stability of the Near
East, adversely affecting the se-
curity of Israel."
He termed the Arab refugee
problem "the most important
element" in Arab-Israeli differ-
ences. The committee was told
"We would be deluding our-
selves were we to say there is
any hope for an early solution
for this problem."
Jones said that an upsurge
in Israel-UAR frontier tension
"appears now to be subsiding."
At the same time, he said that
"A particularly difficult and
continuing problem in Arab-
Israeli relations is the question
of the restrictions imposed on
the transit of Israeli ships and
cargoes through the Suez
Canal.

As the representative organ

VIENNA, (JTA)—The Jew-
ish Community .of Austria and
the Organization of Austrian
Resistance Fighters severely
criticized the government for
failing to enact legislation to
provide financing of rehabilita-
tion of victims of Nazism.
Both parties that are mem-
bers of the government coali-
tion, the People's Party and
the Socialist Part y, have
pledged publicly and repeated-
ly that such legislation would
be passed. The two organiza-
tions pointed out, in separate
resolutions, that 12 attempts to
pass such legislation have, thus
far, been defeated in Parlia-
ment.
In its resolution, the Jewish
Community levelled its criti-
cisms specifically at Vice Chan-
cellor Bruno Pitterman, who is
a Socialist, and at Finance
Minister Reinhard Kamitz, a
member of the People's Party.
"Patience has now ended,"
stated the Community resolu-
tion, "and the Jews of Austria
must find other means to force
the leaders of both coalition
parties to honor their prom-
ises." The Resistance Fighters
pointed out in their resolution
that "after waiting 15 years, we
find that Austria still does not
compensate the victims of Naz-
ism."
The Austrian Ministry of De-
fense issued an order forbid-
ding the wearing of World . War
II decorations. The order speci-
fies that the decorations may
not be displayed even if they
do not contain the swastika
symbol.
