Canadian Reports
Cuban Jews Enjoy
Religious Freedom
TORONTO, (JTA) — A To:
ronto Jewish community offi-
cial reported this week on his
return from Havana that the
five synagogues there were
functioning without interfer-
ences from the Castro regime.
There are no synagogues in
other Cuban cities.
Ben Kayfetz, executive direc-
tor of community relations here
for the Canadian Jewish Con-
gress and Bnai Brith, said also
that all Jewish institutions in
Cuba were continuing to oper-
ate as they had before some
8,000 Cuban Jews emigrated.
He added that there was com-
plete religious freedom for the
remaining 2,000 to 2,500 Jews
in Cuba.
He cited, as an example, the
fact that there had been no
objections from the government
to a cabled appeal to the Israeli
Chief Rabbinate to send a ritual
slaughterer to Cuba. The ap-
peal was made because the lone
ritual slaughterer in Cuba, who
is 75, is ill and would not be
able to serve as shochet much
longer.

JWB Sets Up Cuba
Crisis Program for
Jewish Personnel
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A sur-
vey of special needs affecting
Jews, both civilian and military
personnel, as a consequence of
President Kennedy's invoking
the naval blockade against
Cuba, was implemented by the
National Jewish Welfare Board
immediately after the Presi-
dent's highlighting of the Cu-
ban crisis, the JWB announced
here.
The on-the-spot survey in the
southeast section of the United
States was undertaken by Jo-
seph Greenhut and Nathan Lo-
shak as soon as it became ap-
parent there would be an in-
flux of military personnel into
that area, the JWB stated. In
addition, all civilian part-time
rabbis were alerted by the
JWB's Commission on Chap-
laincy to provide increased re-
ligious and morale services to
Jewish personnel.
Community resources were
mobilized to meet the needs of
Jewish military personnel mov-
ing into the Panama Canal
Zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Bermuda and the Ba-
hamas, Jamaica and Trinidad-
Tobago. The JWB also estab-
lished services for dependents
of Jewish Navy and Marine
Corps personnel evacuated from

Histadrut Announces
Triple Tribute to
Farband's 50th Year
TEL AVIV (JTA)—A three-
fold tribute to the Farband
Labor Zionist Order, which will
celebrate its golden jubilee in
1963, was announced here by
Histadrut, the Israel labor fed-
eration.
Three major cultural and
medical institutions • will be
named in honor of the American
fraternal order, according to
Yehoshua Levy, Histadrut treas-
urer, who recently returned from
a visit to the United States.
Noting the contributions which
Farband has made during the
past half century to the develop-
ment of Jewish education and
Zionist activities in the United
States and Canada, and "the con-
siderable financial and moral
support it has given to t h e
people of Israel," the Histadrut
executive has decided to build
a new five-story administration
and research center at Bet Berl,
the social science institute at
Kfar Saba; a 70-room medical
center of Kupat Holim, in Tel
Aviv; and a cultural center at
Efal, a residential community
for retired workers near Tel
Aviv.
Efal, formerly the site of a
kibbutz, has been developed by
Histadrut as a retirement com-
munity, including a projected
500-unit section for e Id e r 1 y
Americans who wish to settle in
Israel.
Louis Segal, general secretary
of Farband, acknowledged the
appropriateness of the projects
which, he said, will be "further
symbols and practical links" be-
tween American Labor Zionists
and the labor movement in
Israel.
Construct Lubavitcher
Building in Jerusalem
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Con-
struction will soon be started
on a new building for one of
the oldest Lubavitcher institu-
tions in Israel, Yeshiva Toras
Emes in Jerusalem, it was an-
nounced here by the Luba-
vitcher headquarters.
Founded in 1912, the Yeshiva
has turned out thousands of
Jewish scholars during its 50-
year history. The new Yeshiva
building will be located near
the new Lubavitcher housing
project in the Tel Arza section
of Jerusalem.
800 Reservations
Yeshivath Beth Yehudah's
dinner committee reported that
800 reservations already have
been filled for the annual event
to be held at Cabo Hall on
Nov. 11.
Daniel A. Laven, treasurer,
said, "Our annual dinner marks
a turning point in the Yeshi-
r vah's history.
We must rally
to put across
the speedy re-
location of the
school, for
which plans
have already
been complet-
Laven ed by the board
of directors. Entirely too much
depends on its success for us
to allow it to fail.
"If workers will proceed to
confirm outstanding reserva-
tions, our success will be assur-
ed. We especially appeal to
those holding tickets who have
not turned in their reservation
stubs. It is essential that they
do so at once."
Laven said reservations can
be confirmed by calling the
Yeshivah office, WE 1-0203.
Starved Algerian
Refugee Collapses for
Lack of Kosher Food
PARIS, (JTA)—An •Algerian
Jewish refugee collapsed from
hunger and had to be hospi-
talized in the French Depart-
ment of Lot, southeast of
Bordeaux, after he and his
family had refused to partake
of any food due to the lack
of kosher facilities, it was re-
ported here by the French
daily, Le Monde. •
The newspaper, which is cur-
rently reviewing the Algerian
problem, said that the case of
near starvation because of a
lack of kosher food was one
of many similar incidents.
The report noted that the
Jews among the Algerian refu-
gees were among the most
orderly and disciplined of all
the repatriates They are, how-
ever, deeply attached to their
religious institutions and suffer
from lack of proper synagogue
and other traditional facilities,
Le Monde stated.
STOCKHOLM, (JTA) — Dr.
Lev Davidovic Landau, undoubt-
edly the topmost Jewish scien-
tist in the Soviet Union, and
winner of the Lenin Peace
Prize, was awarded the 1962
Nobel Prize for Physics at a
meeting of the Swedish Acad-
emy of Science here.
His citation specified his "pi-
oneering theories for condensed
matter, especially liquid hel-
ium."
Credited with having contrib-
uted materially to the develop-
ment of satellites, especially
toward the launching of earth's
first satellite, the Soviet Sput-
nik I, in 1957, he is widely re-
garded as one of the world's
most advanced thinkers in the
field of nuclear studies and
cosmic rays.
Landau is still in a Moscow
hospital, as a result of an auto-
mobile accident last January.
For a time, there were • fears
that the crash would prove fa-
tal. Neurosurgeons, other spe-
cialists a n d "wonder" - drugs
were flown by the Soviet gov-
ernment to Moscow from Brit-
ain, Canada and France to help
save him. He was reported as
"making progress," but there
were still doubts as to whether
he might regain his full intel-
lectual capacity.
Yes, these towns do exist: Ash,
Kan.; Carpet, Tex.; Odear, Me.;
Shoo, Fla.; Kay, 0.; Houdy, Miss.;
and Fiver, Tenn.
