NCJW Conference
Calls for Youth Aid
Blasts Right Wingers

An 18 _point program for ac-
tion to meet the steadily mount-
ing needs of out-of-school, out-of-
work youth was announced at the
national board of directors meet-
ing of the National Council of
Jewish Women in New York this
week.
Mrs. Charles Hymes of Minne-
apolis, president of the educa-
tional and service organization,
presented the proposals to NCJW
leaders. "Employment needs of
youth embody basic human wel-
fare problems which have always
been a matter of concern to the
American Jewish community and
to the National Council of Jewish
Women," she said.
The blueprint for action, ' en-
titled "A Start For Youth," calls
for guidance and vocational train-
ing to meet contemporary needs.
Citing the lack Of communication
among schools, labor and indus-
try on methods of combatting the
problem, the Council proposals
urge voluntary organizations to
take the lead in bringing these
groups together in cooperative
efforts to assist youngsters in
finding and holding jobs.
The NCJW proposals are based
on the results of an NCJW sur-
vey conducted earlier this year
in 58 major American cities,
which found that school guidance
programs, and vocational training
are inadequate and outmoded in
most communities.
A threat to democracy posed
by resurgent right - wing move-
ments was also discussed.
NCJW Executive Director Miss
Hannah Stein reported that right-
wing movements are "stifling dis-
cussions of public issues and dis-
torting the valid principles of
Americanism."

Queen Greets Chronicle

The Jewish Chronicle began a
week-long series of events to
mark its 120th anniversary with
a dinner at historic Stationers
Hall where the Lord Mayor of
London, Sir Bernard Whaley-
Cohen, delivered the anniversary
address. A special message from
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
was read extending her "con-
gratulations to everyone con-
nected with the Jewish Chron-
icle's production and best wishes
to all its readers." The chairman
of the Chronicle, David Kessler,
read the Queen's message.

Prisoner Witnesses
Baby's Circumcision

LONDON, (JTA) — What
was believed to be the first
circumcision of a Jewish
baby in an English prison
took place this morning in
. Brixton jail, where Shalom
Shtarkas, who is currently
being detained pending ex-
tradition proceedings re-
quested by the Israel govern-
ment, witnessed the per-
formance of the rite on his
infant son, who was brought
to the jail for the ceremony.
Shtarkas is charged by
Israeli authorities with com-
plicity in the abduction in
Israel and subsequent re-
moval to English of his
nep hew, nine - year - old
Yossele Schumacher. The
boy's grandfather, Nachman
Shtarkas, is being held in an
Israel prison for having
taken his grandson from the
boy's parents because he be-
lieved Yossele was not being
given a proper orthodox
upbringing.

Rehabilitation
of Ex-Gestapos
Demanded

BONN, (JTA)--Informed po-
litical sources asserted that re-
habilitation of former members
of the SS, Hitler's elite guard,
was one of the demands of the
Free Democratic party in the
current coalition talks with
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's
Christian Democratic Union.
The demands, it was reported,
include an amendment to a pen-
sion law and a bill for general
amnesty of Nazi crimes "with
the exception of those perpe-
trated for personal, deliberate
and individual criminal mo-
tives." A draft for such a bill,
offered by Free Democratic
deputy Ernst Achenbach, has
been circulated among Bunde-
stag deputies for the past two
years.
Otto Eisenmann, another Free
Democratic deputy, told a meet-
ing of the HIAG, the SS aid or-
ganization, in Rendsburg Sun-
day that it was "about time"
that former members of the reg-
ular SS were fully rehabilitated.

FRANKFURT, (JTA) — The
recent action of the Frankfurt
Court of Appeals in rejecting a
prosecution complaint against
the release of a former Nazi
police officer may have serious
consequences for many cases
pending against former Nazi
criminals, Dr. Fritz Bauer, Hes-
sian Attorney General told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
The appeals court confirmed
the release of Erich Bunke, a
54-year-old customs inspector,
who was detained on charges
of shooting 22 Danish resistance

Five Chicago Sororities
Reject Discrimination,
Lose National Charters

CHICAGO, (JTA) — Five
sororities accredited to Lake
Forest College, in suburban Lake
Forest, have had their national
charters lifted because the local
officers insist on their right to
elect members without reference
to race or religion.
According to William Graham
Cole, president of the college,
all sororities and fraternities on
the campus have been notified
of resolutions adopted by the
board of trustees disapproving
national control over local chap-
ter selection of members. The
college, he said, is opposed to
discrimination against potential
members on the grounds of race
or color.
The five sororities are Alpha
Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Alpha Ki
Delta, Chi Omega and Gamma
Phi Beta. Officers of the five
sororities said they would meet
this week to decide on their
next steps.

German Consul Names
Jewish Doctors for
Compensation Claims

MONTREAL, (JTA)—Physi-
cians appointed by the West
German Consulate General here
to examine applicants for com-
pensation claims have all been
Jewish and are themselves vic-
tims of Nazi persecution, Dr.
Gerhard Stahlberg, West Ger-
man Consul General, declared
here.

fighters. The appeals court
found that Bunke had acted on
the basis of a Hitler order at the
end of 1943 to kill captured re-
sistance fighters "in secret."
The court ruled that at that
time the shooting of partisans
was not considered a violation
of international law and that
therefore Hitler's order, and its
execution, could be considered
only an act of homicide. The
court further ruled that the
statute of limitation was exec-
tive in homicide cases, rejecting
the prosecution's formal inter-
ruption of the 15-year limita-
tions period in April of last
year.
Dr. Bauer said the decision
"may become a precedent in
numerous other cases pending
which last year we took the pre-
caution of registering before the
statute of limitations on homi-
cide charges went into effect."
