Revokes Charter Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News BOSTON The management of the Boston Arena Tuesday — turned down a request by George Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, who sought to rent the facility for a rally next week. Arena officials told Rockwell that "it was not available." Nazi Party Branded as an Enemy of U.S. RICHMOND, Va., (JTA)—The Virginia House of Dele- gates, moving swiftly io back up its vote to revoke the charter of George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi party, unani- mously adopted a resolution labeling the group "enemies of the people of Virginia and of the United States. The resolution said also that both the Nazi party and Communist groups "have sought to undermine the Virginia tradition of religious tolerance and respect for constitutional guarantees to all Americans." (Three members of George Rockwell's American Nazi Party wearing swastika armbands, khaki trousers and shirts, were arrested in New York for wearing prohibited uniforms and insignia as they picketed a Communist-sponsored rally at Carnegie Hall.) The Virginia House of Delegates' vote to revoke the charter of Rockwell's Nazi Party was 45 to 37. - It is not expected that the bill revoking Rockwell's char- ter will put an end to his activities. It leaves open the possi- bility raised by the bill's sponsor, Harrison Mann, of Arlington, that the group can apply for a new charter under a new name. Mann, an Arlington lawyer and World War II Marine veteran, said there were two reasons for the introduction of the measure. The Rockwell group, he stated had its offices "in my county and they parade in uniforms, with their guns strapped on. People there are sick and tired of it." The second reason, he said, was that Rockwell literature includes the statement "chartered by Virginia" with an ap- parent attempt to indicate legitimacy. think that's a -blot on the good name of Virginia," he declared. " if VIENNA—The International Auschwitz Committee appealed Tues- day to rectors of universities in Austria to speak out against anti-Semitic activities conducted by student members of neo-Nazi organizations. The committee said that the horrors of Hitlerisin made it the duty of the rectors to warn against the great danger "which any form of fascism and anti-Semitism represents." The committee reported that the Yugoslav government had trans- mitted 5,000,000 dinars for the construction of a monument at Auschwitz in memory of those who perished at the camp. The committee said that a number of other countries had pledged contributions for the project. Yugoslavia also will help supply materials for the monument. Jewish and Moslem Homes Bombed in Algiers ALGIERS, (JTA)—Jewish and Moslem shopkeepers and homes were the principal targets here of a series of pre-dawn bombings early Monday, eviden' y staged by the OAS, the French underground opposed to the planned cease-fire being arranged between the Charles de Gaulle govern- ment and the FLN, the Moslem independence movement. While no deaths were reported, there were at least 12 casualties, most of them Jewish or Moslems. The attacks, resulting in about 135 bomb explosions in a period of an hour and a half, were apparently aimed at the shops and homes of Jews and Moslems who had refused to contribute funds to the OAS. Rows of shops were shattered in the explosions, and many of the stores were set afire. Police arrested l:3 Frenchmen charged with com- mitting the atrocities, and defused 15 bombs containing plastic explosives. Six Jews were killed and seven seriously wounded in the mounting clashes between the European underground OAS and the Algerian Mos- lems, it was reported here Wednesday. The list of Jewish dead included two each in Oran and Algiers and one each in Mascara and Constantine. As a French-Moslem cease fire neared, the OAS stepped up its attacks and commandoes of the Moslem and rebel FLN responded with reprisals. Tension was particularly high in the Jewish quarter of Oran where Jews were under frequent attacks by FLN members. In reprisal, Moslems entering the quarter have been killed. Jews in Oran struggled to organize their own defense and to ward off attacks in the quarter which is adjacent to a Moslem section. Incidents and incitements between the two sections are frequent, police reported. National Surrey of Jewish Day Schools Undertaken by Jewish Education Ass's', NEW YORK, (JTA)—A national survey a the financial needs of Jewish day schools, and the responsibility of the Jewish community to meet those needs, will be undertaken by the American Association for Jewish Education, it was announced by Samuel H. Daroff, chairman of the board of governors. The study is an outgrowth of a recommendation made at a recent Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, the national co- ordinating body for the fund-raising agencies of the Jewish community. The Jewish day school move- ment today numbers more than 270 schools attended by more than 50,000 children. It provides both religious and secular training on the elementary and secondary school level. The problem of financing the Jewish day school is directly related to the question of state versus private aid for parochial school education. A recent survey conducted by the AAJE revealed that lead- ers of the American Jewish community were almost unanimous in their opposition to the use of federal or state funds for parochial school education. They regard this as the responsibility of the sponsoring religious community. Leaders of the day school movement, who face rising costs and continuing deficits, have asked the Jewish Federations in their local communities to help defray the deficits of most of the day schools. Federations, while contributing substantially to com- munal institutions of Jewish education, have resisted financial involvement in day school education be- cause such schools are usually sponsored by only one element of the Jewish community. Isaac Toubin, executive director of the AAJE, reported to the agency that his survey of leadership opinion demonstrated that a new attitude towards the day school had developed within the Jewish community. Whereas these institutions were for- merly regarded as isolationist, they are now looked upon as a legitimate part of the American school structure and as necessary for those who desire an intensive form of Jewish education. The study now being undertaken by the AAJE will look into the total needs and feasibility of federation allocations to meet these needs. The findings of the study will be submitted to the next annual' assembly of the Council of Jewish Federa- tions. The study will be under the direction of Dr. Uriah E. Engelman, who is director of research for the association. The American Association for Jew- ish Education is a national service agency for coordination, promotion and research in American Jewish education. The National Council for Jewish Education, an organization of educators of all ideological Jew- ish groupings, adopted a resolution to call upon Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds throughout the country to extend financial assistance to Jewish day schools. The resolution noted, with deep satis- faction, the growth of the day schools.
