Anti-Semitism to Go Before UN
Committee on Prevention of Bias
UNITED NATIONS, N: Y.
(JTA)—Religious and other dis-
criminations and prejudices, in-
cluding anti-Semitism, will come
to the forefront on the United
Nations agenda, at meetings of
the United Nations Subcommis-
sion on Prevention of Discrimina-
tion and Protection of Minorities,
which opened its two-week an-
nual session, Tuesday.
The 14-member group will dis-
cuss discrimination in the polit-
ical field, discrimination in re-
gard to a person's right to leave a
country and to Teturn to his, na-
tive land, anti-Semitic manifesta-
•tions and other forms of racial
and religious intolerance.
On the agenda, also, are • re-
ports on discrimination in educa-
tion, discrimination regarding re-
ligious rights and practices, and
measures to be taken for the ces-
sation of any advocacy of . na-
tional, racial or religious hostility
that constitutes an incitement to
hatred and violence.
• The members of the subcom-
mission serve as individual ex-
perts, but their election, by the
Human Rights Commission, is
subject to the approval of their
respective governments. T h e
American member of the anti-
bias group is Judge _Philip Hal-
pern, of Buffalo, a well-known
Jewish communal leader.
Ortho Job Policy
GetS ADL's O.K.
RARITAN, NJ., (JTA)—The
Anti-Defamation League of Bnai
Brith has approved the personnel
policies of the Ortho Pharma-
ceutical Corporation of this city,
which had been upheld by a New
Jersey court on its contention
that it does • not discriminate
against employees on the grounds
of race, religion or color.
The company had been sued by
Shaena Temmelman, an 18-year-
old Orthodox Jewish girl, who
claimed she was dismissed be-

Propose Kfar Silver
Chemistry Laboratory
as Memorial to Kay
KFAR SILVER, Israel ---
The Zionist Organization of
America's delegation to the
25th World Zionist •Congress
was elated by reports of
progress made at Kfar Silver,
the ZOA project established
in honor of Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver, of Cleveland.
At this village, Israel
youth are trained for ad-
vanced agricultural pursuits
and receive specialized train-
ing for work on the land.
Leon 'Ilutovich, secretary
of the ZOA delegation and
ZOA's associate national
executive director, expressed
the hope that the Michigan
Zionist Region, 'and especi-,
ally the Zionist Organization
of Detroit, will undertake to
adopt the chemistry labora-
tory as a special project in
memory of Leon Kay, the
late Detroit Zionist leader.
"This laboratory, now near-
ing completion, will be one
of the most modern, and will -
be provided with all modern
facilities," Ilutovich said. "It
is certain to be the best
equipped chemistry labora-
tory in any secondary school
in Israel. My good friend and
co-worker Leon Kay ex-
pressed the hope to me, only
a few weeks before he was
taken from us, at the ZOA
convention, on Aug. 27, that
his name will- some day be
linked with Kfar Silver. I
propose the adoption by De-
troit and Michigan of the
project of making the Kfar
Silver chemistry laboratory
a memorial to him, thereby
fulfilling one of his last
wishes."

Discipline Frat
for Hazing Acts
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Phi
Epsilon Pi, a rnational fraternity
with a largely Jewish member-
ship, disclosed that it recently
disciplined a chapter for par-
ticipating in "Hell Week."
The fraternity made the dis-
closure in an editorial in the cur-
rent issue of its Quarterly in
which it denounced the frater-
nity "institution" at which "un-
justifiable and senseless acts are
performed with sadistic - glee
solely for the amusement of the
fraters," during initiations.
The editorial said the frater-
nity had "not suffered the tra-
gedy of witnessing the death of
one of its pledges as a result of
hazing. Nevertheless there are
certain chapters within our frater-
nity which appear to steadfastly
cling to this useless custom."
The editorial reported that
"only recently one of our
chapters was suspended from
.participating in campus activities
because of such practices."
