shot in the head and had been
struggling for life since the
evening of the assassination at-
tempt when he was rushed to

Jewish leader brought a mes-
sage of condolence from Justice.
Minister B. J. Vorster on be-
helf of the South African Gov-
ernment, expressing sympathy
on the "tragic death of a con-
scientious . and devoted judge,
husband and father. The
dastardly attack on his rife
came as a shock and the death
comes as a greater shock be-
cause it was hoped he would
recover."
Dr. Teddy . Schneider, chair-
man - of the South African Jew-
ish Board of Deputies, said that
"the whole community is dis-
tressed to hear of the death of
Judge. Kuper who was loved by
all and whose passing will be
mourned by everyone." A meet-
ing of the judges of Transvaal
memorialized the slain leader
today.
Judge Kuper was the son of
Johannesburg Jewish pioneers,

Board of Deputies and of the
Zionist Federation. He was ap-
pointed to the South African

Matzoh Appeal to Reds
STOCKHOLM, (JTA) — Two

sider its ban against the baking
of matzoth in state bakeries.

Hebrew Teachers
Condemn Cutting
of School Hours
BUFFALO, N.Y., (JTA) — A
trend toward cutting daily He-
brew afternoon school classes
to a maximum of two hours in
some Jewish communities was
condemned at the biennial con-
vention of the National Federa-
tion of Hebrew Teachers and
Principals here.
The educators warned that
such cuts in hourly classes Were
inevitably accompanied by de-
creases in the salaries of Jew-
ish teachers which would mean
a drop- in incentives for young
people to become teachers for
such schools and that "the
eventual loser will be the Jew-
ish child."
Mrs. Aviva Orlan was named
"Teacher of the Year." Jacob
Rotman of Boston and Matthew
Mosenics, Shemeon Pollack and
Joseph Reisberg of New York
were elected members of the
federation's presidium.

Canadian Party
Rapped for Leniency
to Anti-Semite
TORONTO (JTA)—A special
Social Credit Party committee
investigating charges that some
of the party's candidates in the
forthcoming general elections
are anti-Semitic was criticized
here by the Toronto Star, one
of Canada's leading daily news-
papers, in connection with state-
ments made by Neil Carmichael,
Social' Credit candidate for Par-
liament, who has declared that
Adolf Hitler's economic policy
"was a very good and sound
system."
According to the Star, the
special committee had found
that some of Carmichael's state-
ments "were careless but in no
way anti-Semitic." At the same
election rally where he .expres-
sed admiration for Hitler's
economic policies, Carmichael
charged that "it was a Jewish
r p. o r t that started" the al-
legations that he was anti-Sem-
itic. "I'm being persecuted - by
the Jews," he claimed. He also
told the audience that "the
Rothschilds" are trying to buy
out all the Canadian mines they
can "through a non-Jewish
agent."
The general elections are to
be, held April 8. Social Credit
held the balance of power in
the last Parliament, ranking
third in the House of Commons
after the Conservatives • and
Liberals.
be accused of exclusiveness and
self-centeredness, are genuinely
trying to strike a balance be-
tween Jewish activity and full
participation in the life of the
country. This is both a problem
of spiritual adjustment and of
organizational technique.

"Hardly a detail in the history of

love injected into this work
makes it a dedicated poetic crea-

Jewry's long, varied career in a

PROF. HARRY M. ORLINSKY,

-LONDON (JTA) — The ques-
tion of whether Jewish children
and youth in Poland were be-
ing isolated from the rest of
society by having clubs of their
own, was posed at a two-day
national conference of Jewish
club leaders in Warsaw, it was
reported here from the Polish
capital.
There are in Poland 23 . Jew-
ish children's and youth clubs,
which engage in usual club ac-
tivities in addition to providing
instruction in Jewish history
and folklore. This was given as
justification for the existence of
special clubs for the young peo-
ple of the Jewish community
of whom some 2,000 — nearly
the total number in these groups
— are members of the clubs.
Several speakers, however,
pointed out that the disadvan-
tage of the Jewish clubs is that
they foster a spirit of exclusive
ness and prevent a spirit of in-
ternationalism f r o m asserting
itself among young Jews. Ex-
perts told the conference that
the answer to the question was
not liquidation of Jewish clubs,
which even their critics do not
suggest, but more cooperation
with general clubs in ,such fields
as sports, art, photograph and
world literature.
The problem of cooperation
with general Polish institutions
was also raised at a meeting of
branch leaders of the Jewish
Cultural and Social Association,
a central body of Polish Jews.

Israel and Turkey Join in
Tourists' Double-Header
Israel and Turkey have in-
augurated a joint campaign to
promote tourism to these two
cradles of civilization.
In Turkey, the student of early
Christianity finds a wealth of
sites to explore.
Israel's Biblical sites include
Capernaum, Mount Zion, Sea of
Galilee and Acre.
Besides affording tourists ac-
cess to places that have played
a major role in the development
of Western civilization, Turkey
and Israel provide a variety of
up-to-date resort areas designed
to meet a range of budgets.
Additional information, in-
cluding posters designed espe-
cially for the new campaign, are
available from the Israel Gov-
ernment Tourist Office, El Al,
and the Turkish Information
Office.
