Israel Lifts Restrictions
on Movement of Arabs
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
TEL AVIV—Restrictions on
the movements of nearly 250,000
Israeli Arabs living along the
border will be lifted today, ac-
cording to a special order of
the Chief of Staff.
Chief of Staff Tzvi Tsur acted
on the decision of Premier Levi
Eshkol, announced two weeks
ago in parliament.
Under the order issued to
military governors, all limita-
tions on movements in hundreds
of Arab village's will be lifted.
Restrictions will remain in force
only in the case of five villages
which are actually on the bor-
derline where security needs re-
quire continued control over
movement of villagers.
Arab notables and chieftains
met on invitation with the mili-
tary governors where they re-
ceived details of the new ar-
rangements.
The liberalization will not
apply also to some 700 Israeli
Arabs who ha"e been suspected
on grounds of security. They
have been placed on special lists
and will not receive the benefits
of the cancelation of restrictions
even where they live in those
areas where restrictions will be
ended.
The 700 Arabs will remain
under control of the regional
military governors. The Chief of
Staff order was welcomed by
the Arabs throughout Israel.
Soviet to Allow Reburial in Israel
of Remains of Jewish Personalities
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM—Soviet Ambas-
sador Mikhail Bodrov said here
Wednesday that Soviet authori-
ties would not object in princi-
ple to the transfer to Israel for
burial of the remains of out-
standing Jewish personalities
buried in the Soviet Union.
The envoy made that state-
ment to a representative of the
committee of former Kiev fami-
lies in reply to a specific re-
quest for the transfer of the re-
mains of the Goan of Vilna.
The envoy said such requests
for individual transfers could
be expected to receive favor-
able consideration but that the
Soviet authorities would defi-
nitely object to any mass re-
burial.
The meeting with the ambas-
sador confirmed an earlier
agreement with Soviet authori-
ties for the transfer and rebur-
ial of the remains of relatives
of Israeli families in Lukya-
novka, an abandoned Jewish
cemetery in Kiev, to Kiev's
new cemetery.
The remains of President
Shazar's brother-in-law and rela-
tives of Foreign Minister Golda
Meir will be transferred to the
new cemetery under this ar-
rangement. Under Soviet law,
any cemetery closed for 24
years is declared abandoned
and may be destroyed.
BONN (JTA)—The 25th an-
niversary of Crystal Night, the
night of terror in 1938 when
Nazis roamed cities in Germany
and Austria burning synagogues
and beating and killing Jews,
was observed throughout West
Germany last weekend by memo-
rial services for the Jewish
victims of the Nazi holocaust.
The German Evangelical
Church held special services at
Dachau, site of the infamous
concentration camp, wher e
church leaders announced plans
to build a church on the site
dedicated to German repentance
for the crimes committed there.
Similar services were held at the
site of the Flossenburg concen-
tration camp.
In a message addressed to
the country's Jewish community,
West German Chancellor Lud-
wig Erhard said that, while no-
body could make reparations for
the crimes of Crystal Night; the
anniversary observance should
"strengthen our will to make
certain that freedom and the
worth of the individual are de-
fended as the supreme value."
Newspapers throughout West
Germany carried lengthy ar-
ticles in connection with the
anniversary of Crystal Night.
Die Welt, leading German
weekly, noted that the anni-
versary coincided with the
publication of the document
submitted to the Ecumenical
Council refuting Jewish guilt
for Christ's death.
Addressing t h e dedication
ceremonies of the new Hannover
Synagogue, Dr. Hendrik George
VanDam, secretary - general of
the Central Council of the Jews
in Germany, said that Jew i sh
hopes for the future in Ger-
many have grown. He stressed
that there were greater pros-
pects for harmonious living to-
gether- with the Germans, and
for more German understanding
for' Jewish fellow citizens.

HAIFA (JTA) — The Haifa
Symphony Orchestra changed its
program at the last minute Sun-
day night and canceled plans for
performing a work by the Ger-
man composer Richard Wagner,
after pressure was exerted on
orchestra officials by leading Is-
raeli personalities, including a
number of sponsors of the or-
chestra, who objected to the
inclusion of the German work
in the program on the night
commemorating the 25th anni-
versary of Crystal Night.
Along with the Israeli Phil-
harmonic Orchestra and the Kol
Yisrael broadcasting service, the
Haifa orchestra had been unof-
ficially boycotting the works of
Wagner until the Haifa group
decided to include the corn-
poser's work. They were forced
to change the program, however,
due to public pressure.
Two organizations of Aus-
trian Jews held mass meetings
in Tel Aviv, commemorating
the 25th anniversary of Crys-
tal Night in 1938, when the
Nazis began their campaign of
terror against Jews by burn-
ing synagogues and beating
and killing Jews throughout
Germany and Austria.
One of the meetings was held
by the Central European Settlers
Association, and the other by
the World Association of Aus-
trian Jews. The participants de-
cided to send a delegation to
Bonn to try to secure reparations
granted to German Jews.

Mark 'Night of Terror'
Anniversary in N.Y.
The Night of Terror — Nov.
9-10—the night 36 German Jews
were murdered, 191 synagogues
burned, 7,500 Jewish stores
plundered and 171 apartment
houses destroyed — in revenge
for the murder in Paris of the
German diplomat, Ernst von
Rath, by Herschel Greenspan,
was commemorated Sunday at
the Herzl Institute, New York,
with a meeting addressed by
Kurt Grossman, director of Ger-
man affairs of the Jewish
Agency, on the occasion of the
25th anniversary of the Nazi
organized orgy of terror.
Grossmann, said that this
demonstration of Nazi sadism
come to their help? In this impor-
tant moment will the feeling of
justice arise and over weigh all the
other calculations? The president of
Czechoslovakia said in the U.N. "You
are speaking about our oil pipeline—
I know of another pipeline—that is
the pipeline of blood of the Jewish
nation, that was spilt in all genera-
tions". . .
The U.N. proposed to partition the
Country and set up two states: A
Jewish state and a State for the
Arabs of Palestine. The Jews agreed
to partition, while the Arabs were
against it. On the 29th of November
the U.N. was to convene to make a
decision on this problem.
Jews in a distance of thousands of
miles sat next to their radio sets
and listened anxiously to every word.
Will a Jewish State be set up in
Palestine?
Thirty-three countries in the U.N.
voted for a Jewish State in Palestine;
13 voted against. For two thousand
years the Jews prayed to return to
Zion—and here . . . There was no
bounds to the happiness of the Jews.
The U.N. decision gave the Jews
permission to set up a State, but the
actual establishment of the State is
the work of Jews themselves.
