Friday, April 10, 1964 -- THE DETROIT JEWISH thh Plague — Earthquake Added to CI Seder in Alaska ANCHORAGE—Many of the 300 Jewish military and civilian personnel in the Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau areas were literally shaken from their seder tables when the earth- quake struck here Passover Eve, according to a report from U. S. Air Force Chaplain Sey- mour Gitin, made just hours after the initial shock of the disaster. "There was no panic, and this accounts for the fact that there are at this time no known Jew- ish casualties," Chaplain Gitin stated. "Earth tremors damaged several of the buildings in which 18 different seder serv- ices had been planned, and thousands of dishes, as well as prepared foods, were destroyed. U.S. Banker Warns Israel to Adopt Stiffer Anti-Inflation Policy JERUSALEM ( J T A ) — The vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, David Grove, has issued a stern warning that, unless the Israeli government adopts and imple- ments a much stricter anti- inflation policy, the national economy will deteriorate dan- gerously. The warning was contained in a report by Grove to Da- vid Horowitz, governor of the Bank of Israel. The question on whether to release the re- port in view of its outspoken opinions had been the subject of debate in the government and among Bank of Israel officials. While the report held that the 1962 devaluation of the pound and Bank of Israel anti- inflation policies were basically correct, it warned that devel- opments of the recent past and those in the foreseeable future bode ill in view of continuing inflationary pressures. Among the report's major recommendations were a tight- er credit policy and reduction in borrowing abroad and mak- ing such borrowing subject to greater coordination with the Bank of Israel's domestic credit policy. "The report found that "in- flation is a manifestation of an understandable attempt to meet high priority goals of national policy without simultaneously curbing the expansion of non- essential consumption." London Meeting Recalls Warsaw Uprising Date LONDON, (JTA) —More than 1,000 persons attended a meet- ing here commemorating the 21st anniversary Of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and paying trib- ute to memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Nazi holo- caust. The meeting was arranged by the Polish-Jewish Ex-Service- men's Association in cooperation with the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the British Sec- tion of the World Jewish Con- gress, the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women, and a special memorial committee. Lady Gaitskell, widow of the late Labor Party leader, Hugh Gaitskell, declared in an address at the meeting that "by remem- bering the epic of the Warsaw Ghetto we renew our own in- spiration to fight for human dignity." Lights, heat and water were totally cut off in Anchorage," he added. Nevertheless, two Sedorim were conducted at Elmendorf Air Force Base, near Anchor- age, where Chaplain Gitin is stationed. Chaplain Gitin made his re- port to the National Jewish Wel- fare Board (JWB), which is responsible for planning and supplying military sedorim for Jewish GIs around the world. JWB, as the government- authorized agency for religious, morale and welfare services to Jewish personnel in the U.S. armed forces and their depend- ents and to Jews in veterans hospitals, has the year-round task of planning, arranging and providing ritual materials and kosher foods for Jewish holi- day observances in the military. `Thanks to JWB there was on hand a good supply of canned kosher foods and matzo which was immediately distributed. In most cases, hot prepared foods and canned goods were shared with personnel of all faiths who happened to be in the area," Chaplain Gitin said. "Although the plans for the Passover celebration had been literally smashed, two seder services were partially carried out in the dark under pri- mitive conditions at Elmen- dorf AFB, in the homes of Lt. Col. E. Coldwater and Lt. Col. S. Kolodny. "On Saturday, the second day of Passover, with the earth still shaking periodically, throughout the day and night, impromptu sedorim were held at the homes of Captain, Yourman at Ft. Richardson, and Lt. Col. Rosenberg at Elmendorf, A large community seder was con- ducted at Ft. Wainright in the Fairbanks area, where the damage was not as severe. Dr. Michael Krauss, of the Univers- ity of Alaska, conducted a seder service where 94 were in at- tendance," Chaplain Gitin re- ported. Although his primary respon- sibility is to the Jewish military personnel and their depend- ents at Elmendorf AFB, Fort Richardson, Eilson AFB, Fort Wainright and at isolated posts scattered along the Alaskan coast and ajacent islands, Chap- lain Gitin, in the 18 months that he has been stationed in Alaska, has used his leisure time to provide rabbinical services to the civilian Jewish community in the state and to Cong. Beth Shalom in Anchorage. He has instituted a state wide program of Jewish education for Jewish military person- nel and for Jewish civilians and he publishes the first Jewish periodical ever to appear in Alaska, the Alaskan Jewish Chronicle. `Deputy' Author Gets Permit to Live in Basle BASLE, (JTA) — Rolf Hoch- huth, author of the play, "The Deputy," which charges Pope Pius XII with failure to protest the Nazi annihiliation of Euro- pean Jewry, was granted an ex- tension of his Swiss residence permit until the end of this year. Police had earlier refused such an extension after organized demonstrations were held here by Catholic groups when the play was first produced in Basle. S. Africa Denies Bonn Compensation Pact Adequate U.S. Reports of to Cover Austrian Victims of Nazis, Claims New Chancellor Klaus (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) NEW YORK — The Informa- tion Service of the South Afri- can government issued a state- ment here Tuesday criticizing "recent reports in some United States newspapers" which "in- correctly tried to imply a cer- tain growing anti-Semitic feel- ing in the South African gov- ernment and the National Party." Terming such reports "vicious implications" which it was "necessary to refute," the bul- letin asserted that "it has been made quite clear at various oc-. casions that the South African government has no anti-Semitic feelings." • The bulletin added that the South African govern- ment "will never allow any such feeling to influence it in its de- cisions and deliberations." The bulletin emphasized that South Africa under the present National Party gov- ernment "was one of the first countries to recognize the state of Israel and its then- prime minister. Dr. D. E. Malan was the first head of government of any foreign country to visit Israel after the country achieved its inde- pendence. "Dr. Malan was warmly wel- ccmed by the government and people of Israel." The bulletin then cited a number of statements by South African leaders and newspapers denouncing anti-Semitism as well as statements by Jewish leaders asserting that there was no anti-Semitism in South Africa. South African Jews were re- ported "astonished by the gross exaggerations" appearing in the American press, The S out h African Jewish Times, leading weekly here, declared. The paper quoted reports that appeared in the United States, stating that the Jews here were "shuddering in fear," contem- plating abandonment of their property and planning emigra- tion, due to anti-Jewish attacks voiced recently in South Afri- ca's parliament by some mem- bers of the Nationalist Party. Such reports and "similar non- sense," stated the newspaper, "have no foundation in fact." Two German VIPs Offer Opposite Views of Guilt: to Blame or Not to Blame? (JTA) — West Ger- man Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder told his countrymen they could not shut their eyes to Germany's past. Speaking at a Christian Democratic Union Party meeting here, he said: "West Germans must be the first to face the evil which—whether we like it or not—is linked with the name of our nation." But at another meeting here, during a political rally, Franz Josef Strauss, former West Ger- man defense minister, attacked the thesis of the "sole guilt" of the German people for the war crimes of the Nazis. He declared that West Ger- mans must conquer the past and come to terms with their neigh- bors. He said this included bringing war criminals to justice but "war crimes and crimes against humanity were not com- mitted only by the losers. The belief in justice is shaken," he asserted, "if it is made to ap- pear as though only one side committed crimes."

Similar activity had also been scheduled for the capital city of Rabat, but the governor there prohibited it. Istiqlal, an opposi- tion party, has charged the Mor- occan government with doing nothing about the "Palestine problem." During this week, the party leaders in Casablanca will out- line the Istiqlal position in prob- lems such as Israel's Jordan River irrigation project and Zionism in general. Istiqlal is the only Moroccan party parti- cipating in "Palestine Week," which is patterned after a similar series of events held in Algeria twc months ago.
