I Jews Warned to Adopt
French Canadian Ideas
by Cabinet Minister

MONTREAL, (JTA)—A mem-
ber of the Quebec Provincial
Cabinet warned that the Jews
in the Province would have to
come nearer the views of
French Canadians if they do
not wish to become isolated.
Rene Levesque, Quebec Mini-
ster of Natural Resources, told
the Canada Israel Chamber of
Commerce that the Jews should
do this if they would avoid be-
ing trapped between the two
principal ethnic groups in the
country as has happened in
Jewish history.
Levesque assured the Jewish
community that changes "will
soon be made to modify the
somewhat barbarous present
position of the Jewish schools
in the province," and prom-
ised_ greater flexibility in the
education of Jewish children.
In spite of the separation of
Jews from French Canadians,
he said, there is least anti-
Semitism in French Canada. He
praised the fidelity of the Jews
to their national origins , which
make possible the existence of
the State of Israel and the
Canadian Jewish community.

Joel D. Tauber, the new President of the Junior Division
of the Jewish Welfare Federation, is congratulated by out-
going president, Louis M. Stern, and Leonard N. Simons, cen-
ter, guest speaker at the Junior Division Annual Meeting.
Under the leadership of Stern, the division collected $23,010
for the Allied Jewish Campaign. Awards for outstanding service
to the division were presented to Louis M. Stern, Wallace M.
Handler, Guy Barron, Ivan Boesky, Mrs. Alan E. Luckoff, Joyce
Markin, John H. Shepherd, Joel D. Tauber, and Barry Yaker.
Division officers elected at the meeting include the chairman
of the executive committee, Mrs. Alan Luckoff and vice-presi-
dents Ivan Boesky John H. Shepherd and Barry Yaker.

Jewish Claims Conference Chiefs
Dissatisfied with W. German Bills

BONN, (JTA) — Dissatisfac-
tion with two bills of supple-
mentary laws on restitution and
indemnification drafted by the
West German Ministry of
Finance was expressed here by
three top leaders of the Con-
ference of Jewish Material
Claims Against Germany who
spent three days in Bonn dis-
cussing these laws with mem-
bers of the German 'govern-
ment.
The three Claims Conference
leaders are Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann, Jacob Blaustein and
Moses A. Leavitt. They met
with Chancellor Adenauer, Vice
Chancellor Erhard, Foreign
Minister Schroedder, Finance
Minister Dahlgruen, important
members of parliament, Hirsch
and Prof. Boehm, chairman and
vice chairman of the Indemni-
fication Committee of the
Bundestag.
The representatives of the
Claims Conference made it
clear to the members of the
German government that while
they welcome the fact that
after years of negotiations the
Finance Minister is on the point
of presenting drafts of the two
bills to the cabinet and the
parliament, they have strong
objections to various provisions
of the bills and are opposed
to them in their present form.
They criticized above all the
attempt to take away certain
rights from categories of Nazi
victims, which they enjoyed un-
til now. They also demanded
that the claims of the Nazi vic-
tims, who left Eastern Euro-
pean countries after Oct. 1,
1953, and who cannot file -claims
under the present law, should
not be taken care of, as it is
stipulated now, by a special
fund, but included in the exist-
ing indemnification law. Also,
they raised objections to a
number of other provisions of
the bills.
The Finance Minister assured
the representatives of the
Claims Conference that while
he does not want to delay the
presentation of the bills to the
cabinet- and to the Bundesrat
before the summer recess of

Soviet Arrests
Israeli Tourist

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel
protested to the Soviet govern-
ment the arrest earlier this
month in Kharkov of an Israeli
citizen on charges he was a
Soviet national who deserted a
Russian army unit, it was an-
nounced by the Foreign Min-
istry.
The Israeli, Yehuda Cohen,
41, was among a group of 37
Israeli tourists who left for the
Soviet Union on May 7. On June
9, it was learned that he was
arrested on a Kharkov street,
forcibly taken in a car, arrested
and held incommunicado. The
Foreign Ministry protest asked
that a representative of the Is-
rael Embassy in Moscow 'be per-
mitted to see Cohen without de-
lay and that he be returned to
Israel.

Fine Chicago Woman
for Breaking-Up
Anti-Nazi Meeting

CHICAGO, (JTA)—A Latvian
national, who turned loose 10
mice at a meeting of the Na-
tional Committee Against
Nazism and Nazi Criminals last
month, was fined $100 when she
was found guilty of trying to
break up the meeting.
Mrs. Dagmara Vallens, 34,
also received a stern lecture
from the judge on the need to
respect the American tradition
of free speech and assembly.
She told' the court that she had
never taken out citizenship pap-
ers because she was waiting for

the parliament so as to set the
parliamentary machinery into
motion, he is ready to continue
talks with the representatives
of the Claims Conference and
to discuss their proposals and
demands.
The Claims Conference lead-
ers indicated that they are "de-
termined to draw the attention
of the German parties and of
public opinion, in Germany and
outside of it, to the just de-
mands of the persecutees as far
as they remain unfulfilled in
the new bills, and to do every-
thing to bring about neces-
sary substantial improvements."
They expressed hope "that both
the federal government, the
Laender and the Bundestag will
recognize the supreme moral
duty of Germany to do the ut-
most to compensate the victims
of Nazism at least _ materially,
in a generous way, and that
the leaders of Germany will
regard this sacred obligation as
overriding fiscal and financial
considerations."
