Mourn Death of
President Heuss
BONN, (JTA) — Leaders of
Germany Jewry joined their fel-
low-citizens in this country in
mourning the death of the late
President, Dr. Theodor Heuss,
Jewish community leaders at-
tended the obsequies for West
Germany's former Chief of State,
held Tuesday. Dr. Heuss, 79,
twice president of the Federal
Republic, died at Stuttgart.
Jews in this country and
abroad knew Dr. Heuss as one
who had striven hard for a re-
conciliation between Jews, whom
he considered victims of vile
racism, and the German people.
He was honorary chairman of the
Society for Chrstian-Jewish Co-
operation. When a wave of anti-
Jewish manfiestations broke out
in this country several years ago,
Dr. Heuss broadcast an impas-
sioned appeal against such ac-
tivities over a national radio net-
work, calling upon the German
people to "master their past."
He was a severe critic of court
leniency to former Nazis.

tion deploring the recent spread
of anti-Semitic and other hate
literature in this area was
adopted this week by the pres-
bytery of the United Church of
Halton, Ont., a town 25 west of
Toronto.
"We deplore," stated the reso-
lution, "the anti-Semitism indi-
cated by the distribution of cer-
tain literature bearing the mast-
head of the 'Christian Associa-
tion of Union, New Jersey' and
in various other ways during re-
cent days. We deplore even
more deeply the lack of Chris-
tian charity which these actions
express. We assure our Jewish
brethren of our fellowship and
of our desire for a fuller expres-
sion of brotherhood among all
men, whatever their race or
creed."
Offer Resolution
on U. S. Failure to
Ratify Genocide Pact
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Rep.
Seymour Halpern, New York
Republican, introduced a reso-
lution which, if adopted, would
express the sentiment of the
House for American ratification
of the United Nations Conven-
tion on Genocide.
He pointed out that it was
"bitterly ironic" that the United
States has failed to ratify "the
very treaty it worked so hard
to initiate" at the UN. He noted
that American action to ratify
the Convention has been delay-
ed since 1948.
Halpern said America has
professed concern for human
rights here and abroad but "it
is high time we show that we
mean what we say, and put this
nation formally on record as
opposed to the monstrous crime
of genocide."

N. Y. Court Rejects
Saturday Vote Ban
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—A New York State Su-
preme Court Justice rejected
this week a petition from an
Orthodox Jew to halt a Rock-
land County referendum.
Justice John J. Dillon dis-
agreed in his ruling with the
contention of petitioner Meshu-
lem Rottenberg of New Square
that observant Jews would not
have a full opportunity to vote
in the referendum. New Square
is a Rockland County village
established by a Hassidic sect.
Justice Dillon said he had
taken judicial notice of the fact
that on Dec. 14, the sun would
set in the area at 4:36 p.m. and
that traditional Jews followed
the rule that the Sabbath ends
at 72 minutes after sunset,
meaning that the Sabbath would
end at 5:48 p.m. Observant Jews,
he said, would have from 5:48
p.m. to 7 p.m. to vote and thus
would "not be compelled to
choose between their civic rights
and their religious beliefs."
