10 0, 000 to Benefit From New Restitution Rulin BONN (JTA)—The Supreme Restitution Court of the former British zone in West Germany, together with a similar court in the former • American zone and with the Supreme Restitution Court in Berlin, de- cided that Nazi victims who did not file their claims in time with the restitution authorities have nevertheless complied with the legal requirements for restitution if they filed their petitions with the compensa- tion authorities, even without substantiating Tributes to Genius of Felix Frankfurter their claims. This important decision actually abol- ishes the distinction between filing with the restitution authorities and the compensation authorities for a great number of Nazi vic- tims, especially those living outside of Germany. The number of such claimants is estimated by the ministry of finance to reach 100,000. The West German federal government will now have to take note of the decision and will probably amend the restitution law.

He was sustained by a 59-24 vote. In the meantime, the New York City Council approved a resolution calling for. the mural's im- mediate removal. The Council's General Welfare Committee had voted for the action last week following an hour's wrangling with an Arab spokesman. The brief discussion on the mural issue at the Fair directors' semiannual meeting began with an announcement by Charles Preusse, Fair coun- sel, that the mural was the subject of two Supreme Court actions and that there should be no discus- (Continued on Page 3) JERUSALEM (JTA)--Israel has received the assurances of several African nations that they will not allow the African summit conference, scheduled to be held in Cairo next month, to be turned into an anti-Israel forum. This was in keeping with the stand these countries took at Addis Ababa last year. Several African leaders reported that they have told Nasser that they would oppose exploitation of the forthcoming summit for his anti-Israel moves. The leaders have also reportedly told Nasser he must -choose between his African and Arab interests. The summit may have to be postponed because of resistance on the part of the African leaders to Nasser's plan to have the sessions coincide with the anniversary of the Egyptian Revolution. 300 Swiss Professors Protest Arms Sale to Egypt GENEVA (JTA)—More than 300 university professors issued a protest against the illegal but almost open sale of arms by Swiss firms to Egypt. They emphasized that Egypt is preparing to make war on Israel. Two leading Swiss newspapers, Journal de Geneve and La Suisse, have attached great importance to the protest nd have backed up its charges. Signers of the protest were lecturers of the Federal Polytechnic School, the Institute of Advanced Commercial and Administrative Studies, and universities and colleges throughout the country. The purpose of the protest, said its signatories, was both to arouse public opiinion on the issue, and to draw the attention of the Swiss authorities to the illegal export of arms to Egypt in the light of the "very grave problem" of Nasser's threats against Israel. The "Journal de Geneve" in commenting on the protest, pointed out that, in spite of the fact that the Federal Council prohibited the export of arms to Near Eastern countries nine years ago, "there are ways of getting around the law." The newspaper cited a firm directed by former SS man Ferdinand Wertner which exports machine tools for military use to Egypt. "Even worse is the almost open export of arms by leading Swiss manufacturers made public during the last trial of two Jews accused of spying for Israel," the paper stressed.

Its major arche- ological exhibition, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," features representations of ancient Near Eastern gods and artifacts, the oldest deities in the exhibit dating to the 6th century BCE. Shown here (from the left) are: A Mesopotamian god with horned cap and animal ears, c. 3000 BCE, on loan from the Brooklyn Museum; Anubis, the Egyptian jackal- headed guardian of the dead, c. 663-332 BCE on loan from the Walters Art Gallery, Balti- more; a Cycladic female head c. 3000 BCE on loan from Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Schimmel, New York. Among the 200 pieces exhibited, there is, of co u r s e , no representation of the God of the Hebrew tribes. As Ann Farkas of Columbia University's Department of Art and Archeology writes in the catalog to the exhibition: "Hebrew society bore the im- print of its neighbors--it could scarcely avoid sharing the common heritage of its time—but the God that is not represented, the God which is a moral principle, is not part of this ancient heritage." The exhibition, which will remain open until Sept. 20, emphasizes the Hebrew concept of the ineffable by the very absence of such representations. A high school that will provide • secondary education for 1,000 youths in Israel will be established at Bar-Ilan University, facilities to be ready for the 1965-66 'scholastic year. Announce- ment was made this week, simulta- neously, in Ramat Gan, Israel, by Bar-Ilan authorities, and the national officers of Bar-Ilan in New York. Construction of the vast system is being made possible by a generous gift from the Stollman Family in Detroit. Max Stollman announced the gift here in behalf of himself and his brother, Phillip Stollman. It is estimated that the initial cost of the high school, its school buildings and laboratories, will be in excess of $750,000. Government subsidies will supplement the Stoll- mans' gift. (Architectural sketch of planned high school buildings is on Page 32) Max Stollinan Max and Phillip Stollman stated, affirming their initiation of the project, that they have felt for a number of years that the lack of facilities for secondary education in Israel has created a major need in Israel. As pioneers in the establish- ment of Bar-Ilan University, they said it was their deep convic- tion that the filling of this void is a major responsibility and that they hope the Bar-Ilan project will help solve the serious (Continued on Page 32)
