JOHANNESBURG (JTA) —
Intermarriage between Jews
and non-Jews in South Africa
is on the increase "to an appre-
ciable degree," the Federation
of Synagogues of the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State de-
clared in its annual report here.
The report has been readied
for submission to the third na-
tional Conference of Orthodox
Hebrew Congregations, to be
convened here next month.
According to the report, in-
termarriage in South Africa
"is assuming disquieting pro-
portions." The report also noted
that there is a shortage in this
country of rabbis and other
Jewish religious functionaries,
and urged expansion of train-
ing for such posts by local
Jewish institutions. Still anoth-
er section of the report criti-
cized Reform Judaism, declar-
ing that the Reform movement
is "the negation of everything
Orthodox Jews stand for," and
stating there can be no rap-
prochement between Jewish
Orthodoxy and Reform Juda-
ism.
In regard to general South
African affairs, the report
pledged support to the govern-
ment. Stating that "our coun-
try is beset by innumerable
problems, and has become the
target of violent attacks from
the outside," the Federation
pledged "unwavering loyalty"
to South Africa. The Federa-
tion recorded its gratitude to
the government "for ever-
ready assistance and coopera-
tion from its many depart-
ments."

Chicago Jewish Vocational Service
Begins Study of Student Problems

Vatican Criticizes
U.S. Supreme Court
Ruling on Prayers

CHICAGO (JTA)—An exten-
sive study to determine the
social and educational problems
facing Jewish college students
has been launched by the Jew-
ish Vocational Service here.
The embarking on such a
study was prompted by the
fact that at least one out of
three Jewish students have
been dropping out of college.
Officials of the JVS pointed
out that _the problem of Jewish
college drop-outs is serious,
since at least 70 per cent of all
Jewish high school graduates
go on to college—a higher rate
than that prevailing in the gen-
eral American population. The
college drop-out survey, be-
lieved to be the first of its kind
ever launched in the United
States, will probe into Jewish

the United States, the news-
paper said, "is "tending to be-
come, also legally, agnosticism."

FBI Raids Home
of American Nazi
Party Backer in N.H.

HAN O V E R, N.H., (JTA)—
Speros Lagoulis, long known to
be associated with the American
Nazi Party and other right-wing
causes, was placed under $2,000
bail here on charges of possess-
ing unregistered deadly weap-
ons.
His summer home at Pitts-
burg, near the Canadian bor-
der, was raided by Federal
agents and New Hampshire and
Massachusetts officials. In the
cottage, according to Attorney
General William Maynard, the
authorities discovered a Mauser
submachine gun and two semi-
automatic pistols.
The bail was
as fixed by the
U.S. Commissioner here, and
steps will be taken to present
the case to the September
Grand Jury, where an indict-
ment will be sought, Maynard
said.
According to Maynard, La-
goulis has been under surveil-
lance for a year, since, the of-
ficial said, his "affiliations and
activities with the American
Nazi Party" became known. A
resident of Boston, Lagoulis op-
erates a bookstore there, selling
extreme right-wing literature.

Israeli Gets Soviet
OK to Film History
of Jews in Russia

NEW YORK (JTA) — Soviet
authorities have given an Israeli
film producer their official ap-
proval of a project to make a
documentary movie tracing the
history of the Jews of Russia,
according to a dispatch from
Moscow in Variety, the theatri-
cal weekly.
Mrs. Margot Klausner, an
Israeli film producer, announced
in Moscow that she had obtained
approval of her project while
attending the Moscow Film Fes-
tival. She said she had applied
for such permission in writing
six months ago, and that her
request has now been granted
by the film department of the
Soviet Ministry of Culture.
The Israeli producer was
quoted as saying that, after go-
ing back to her studio near Tel
Aviv, she will return to Mos-
cow with a director and a film
editor, and will have the privi-
lege of going through Soviet
film archives dealing with the
history of the Jews in Russia.
She said she was planning a
full-length feature. If it is
necessary to shoot some extra
footage to supplement the film
archive material, she said, she
will seek such additional per-
mission from the Moscow au-
thorities.
