ments "U. S. financial aid still
continues to Nasser,."
He said that the anti-aid-to-
Nasser amendment adopted by
the House "sets forth in plain
language that no aid shall be
given to a nation that is en-
gaged in a military build-up
for aggression against us or any
recipient of our aid. . . . It is
meant as a mandate and should
be interpreted accordingly."
"We must make it unequivo-
cally clear to President Nasser
that our government will not
tolerate overt aggression in any
form," Congressman Halpern
stated.
Urging support of causes in
Israel's defense and for Jewish
learnings, t h e Congressman,
turning to the guest of honor,
said:
"You, Bill Hordes, have
been a great leader in this
good fight and I am truly
privileged to share in this ex-
pression of appreciation by
our friends and admirers.
This is a tribute you really
deserve and I know I can
speak for the countless others
who hold you in such regard
and affection."
In his moving response, Hor-
des expressed gratitude for the
honors accorded him and
pledged his continued devotion
to the causes for which he was
honored — in behalf of Israel
and Jewish learning.
The guest artist featured on
the program was the famous
cellist, Paul Olefsky. Ezriel
Weissman led in the reciting of
the Birkat Hamazon. The Ha-
motzi was made by Julius Rot-
enberg.

Chicago Reform Group

ing Reform temples, has refus-
ed to approve membership for
the Tree Towns Congregation, a
new group serving 48 families
in a west suburban area of this
city, according to the Sentinel,
Chicago Jewish weekly.
Rabbi Dan Isaacs, spiritual
leader of Tree Towns Congrega-

the rabbi of nearby Oak Park
Temple had objected to the
formation of the new group.
Rabbi Leonard J. Mervis, spir-
itual leader of Oak Park Tem-
ple, has refused to comment.
The denial of membership is
reportedly the first ever record-
ed here in synagogal affairs
among the Reform congrega-
tions.

More than 400 of the friends
of William Hordes on Monday
evening joined in honoring him
for his numerous communal ac-
tivities and to show apprecia-
tion for his leadership in many
movements here, at the dinner
meeting of the local Chabad-
the supporters of the Lubavitch
Hassidim movement.
Hordes was presented with an
album in recognition of his
labors. The presentation was
made by Charles Feinberg. Phil-
lip Stollman was toastmaster
and Isidore Starr was chairman
of the evening.
In a message addressed to the
gathering, Rabbi Menachem M.
Schneerson, the Lubavitch Reb-
be, placed emphasis on the edu-
cational efforts of C h a b ad
through Merkos L'Inyonei Chi-
nuch, and invited widest parti-
cipation in it. The Lubavitch
Rebbe's message pointed to the
fact that the dinner was taking
place during the Purim week,
and he declared that the Jews'
"unshabable loyalty" to the
Almighty "is expressed in our
obedience to the Divine com-
mandments of the Torah—that
saves us from the Hamans that
rise in every generation and try
to enslave us." His message was
read to the audience of more
than 300 by Rabbi Zalman Pos-
ner of New York.
The principal address at the
dinner was given by Con-
gressman Seymour Halpern of
New York, who, in a thorough
analysis of Arab propaganda
and the determined effort by
Congress to prevent injustice
against Israel, declared that
while "your friends in Con-
gress must constantly be on
the alert, so must we all speak
out to let the policymakers
know that the American peo-
ple stand behind the State of
Israel in its struggle for
peace and freedom."
Congressman Halpern paid
tribute to the work of Chabad
and its Chinuch Merkos, as well
as the rabbis who are spear-
heading the efforts for Torah
and learning. He expressed joy
at the presence at the dinner of
Congressman John D. Dingell
whose devotion he duly com-
mended highly.
Deploring the fact that there
is no peace in the Middle East
and that aggressors still get eco-
nomic assistance, Congressman
Halpern criticized the State De-
partment's policies. He declared
that Nasser's aggressions are
not a Jewish problem but an
universal one and he criticized
the State Department's indif-
ference "to Nasser's use of all
communications media at his
command to foment hostility
and encourage war against Is-
rael."
He maintained that "the
Arab refugee situation can be
solved only when the Arabs
are ready to sit down and talk
peace with Israel," and he
urged that every effort be
made to press for peace.
Rep. Halpern ridiculed the
distortions that have been
spread by Arabs regarding the
Jordan water development proj-
ect. He said that the criteria for
assistance to Israel "was based
on the principles of social jus-
tice," but that in contrast aid to
Egypt is "an attempt to buy
Egyptian favor in the East-West
dispute."
He charged that Nazi techni-
cians are continuing their rock-
et research in Egypt and he de-
scribed the Egyptian tactics in
Yemen and elsewhere as indi-
cating that all is not well in that
area of the world.
As co-sponsor with Senator
Keating of New York of an
amendment to curtail aid to
any nation that threatens
war upon another friendly na-
tion, Rep. Halpern said that
despite the anti-bias amend-
