Grant Bail to Uncle
Accused of Kidnapping
Yossele from Israel

gee

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

LONDON—Shalom Shtarkes,
the young Israeli religious'
teacher whose extradition is
being sought by the Israeli gov-1
ernment in connection with the
kidnapping of his nephew,'
Yossele Schumacher, was I
granted bail by a London judge I.
here Wednesday until the House
of Lords renders a decision on
his appeal from a British court
judgment upholding the extradi-
tion request.
While this was the first time
Shtarkes has been granted bails
since he was jailed here 111
months ago, the conditions
imposed by the judge were
unusually stringent. The
amount of the bail was set at
30,000 pounds sterling-884,-
000.
Shtarkes will be required to
report to the police daily. His
passport will remain im-
p o u n d e d by the police.
Shtarkes' attorneys said it
would take a day or two until
they would know whether funds
for the bail could be raised.
Although the Schumacher
boy was returned to his par-
ents last month, after he was
found living with a family in
New York City, the Israeli gov-
ernment has indicated that it
still wants Shtarkes brought
back to Israel in connection
with his alleged part in the
two-year-old kidnaping.
I
At his home here, Shtarkes'
wife, Aileen, said Wednesday
that her husband had seen his
nine-month-old son only once
since he was born. "It is heart-
breaking for all of us who know
he had nothing to do with this
kidnaping, but perhaps our luck
has changed," she declared.

Be Prepared With A Spare!

When a tire goes fiat on the highway,
it's nice to know that you have a spare
ready. /t's the same way with money.
On the road of life, emergencies usu-

spare cash in an American Savings
account will put you back on the road
in a hurry. Start your cushion of cash
now by saving "The American Way."
/t's very profitable, too!
