Histadrut Will Finance
2,000 Scholarships for
Teen-Agers in Israel
New Yeshiva University Residence Hall
NEW YORK (JTA)—The board
of directors of the National Com-
mittee for Labor Israel adopted a
goal of $500,00 to finance 2,000
vocational training scholarships:for
teen-agers in Israel, at its meeting
Sunday. The program will be exe-
cuted by the Histadrut Scholarship
Fund, established in 1957.
The board stressed that scholar-
ships will be granted primarily to
young applicants coming from
large-sized immigrant families with
low incomes, residing in new devel-
opment areas in. Israel.
This is the architect's rendering of Yeshiva University's new
$2,500,000, eight-story residence hall which opened its doors to
some 350 students and faculty members on Sunday, at the start of
the university's 79th academic year. The building on the southeast
corner of Amsterdam Ave. and 186th St, Manhattan, is the
second construction completed as part of Yeshiva University's "Blue-
print • for the Sixties" campus development program, undertaken as
part of the institution's '75th anniversary in 1961.
Most of the training will be
providtM in the network of 17
Amal vocational schools of His-
tadrut throughout Israel. The ef-
fort on behalf of the scholarship
fund will be an integral part of
the 41st annual Israel Histadrut
campaign which .is now under
way.

Trial in France Forces General Ban Proposed
Proof That Nazi Death! on All Conversions to
Judaism by Rabbinate
Camps Really Existed
PARIS (JTA)—Twenty years
after the end of World War II
and the Nazi genocide of Euro-
pean Jewry, a trial was under
way here in which surviving
inmates of the Nazi death camps
testified that the camps had in
fact existed.
The suit was brought by Paul
Rassinier, French author, former
Socialist deputy and himself. a
Nazi camp survivor, against the
International League Against
Anti-Semitism and its president,
Bernard Lacache. Rassinier has
claimed in recent years that the
number of Jewish victims of the
Nazis has been "grossly exag-
gerated" and that most victims
died as a result of the brutality
of their fellow inmates. He has
also implied that the gas cham-
bers which were the principal
means used by the Nazis to kill
their victims did not really exist.
The defense strategy was aim-
ed at demonstrating that the
concentration camps and mass
murders did take place. Attor-
neys for the plaintiff sought to
show that -neither the League
nor its president could prove
that Rassinier was "an agent of
as
the N a z i International,"
Lacache had presumably charged.
Rassinier, in denying the record
of the Nazi camps, said that such
statements were part of Jewish
"propaganda."
