Non-Jewish Rescuer Feted at Seder Polish Jewry ' s
NEW YORK—A Catholic Polish buggy-maker joined at a seder
here with the family of one of the 31 Jews he saved from the Gestapo Status Worsened
in occupied Poland for two years, by hiding them in his home.
Some of the Jews greeted the man, Staszek Jackow, 54, with by Anti-Semitism

hugs and kisses when he arrived at Kennedy Airport.
He came from Buenos Aires, where he had been feted by one
of the Jews he saved. Jerry Spiegel of New York said the group
was making efforts to get a permanent visa for the Polish hero and
to bring his wife and three sons from Warsaw, because he had told
some of his Jewish friends he would like to live in America.
The saga began in June 1942, when the German invaders began
to liquidate the ghetto in Stanislaw. Mrs. Mina Zimmerman of Montreal
recalled that rumors swept the ghetto that if any Jews could get to
Jackow's house, he would try to conceal them. Eventually 31 did so.
A baby was born during the two years, making it 32.
They lived in the basement, with food provided by a nearby mana-
ger of a flour mill, who was also risking his life.

Shaarey Zedek 'Adopts' Israel School;
Rabbi and Mrs. Morris Adler Honored

RABBI AND MRS. ADLER AT GADOT CEREMONY

J E R U S A L E M—Two schools,
separated by a distance of more
than 6,000 miles, "adopted" each
other on April 11, vowing to turn
their new bonds of friendships
into a "bridge of understanding"
between Israel and Diaspora
Jewry.

The schools are the public school
of Kibbutz Gadot, on the bank of
the Jordan River, and the Hebrew
school of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek, in Detroit. The 1600 He-
brew School pupils, through the
Jewish National Fund, which ar-
ranged for the mutual adoption,
chose this way of honoring their
spiritual leader, Rabbi Morris Ad-
ler, who was present with his wife
at the covenant-signing ceremony
held at Gadot.
Representing the JNF, Dr. M. C.
Weiler described Rabbi Adler as
a "leader of American Jewry" who

has drawn his strength from the
teachings of his father, from his
wife, and from the Jewish Theo-
logical Seminary in New York
where he received his rabbinical
training.
Uri Geffen, a member of Gadot,
discussed the importance of Jew-
ish education both in Israel and
Abroad, and related the history of
the kibbutz to the many Detroit
friends who had gathered to at-
tend the ceremony.
Rabbi Adler spoke of the enor-
mous task of uniting the Jewish
people, scattered throughout the
world. "I saw the past in archae-
ology excavations," he said, "but
in the eyes of the children here I
have seen the future."
"Jewishly it is you who have
the Marshall Plan," Rabbi Adler
told the Israelis present. "Much
more than we have ever done for
Israel, Israel has done for us. Even
at a great distance I will feel the
spirit that emanates from here, and
I will be sustained by it."

Hartford Boy Arrested
on Yeshiva Arson Charge

HARTFORD, Conn. (JTA) — A
16-year-old youth was held in Hart-
ford prison in default of $2,000 bail,
awaiting a hearing on charges that
he broke into the Yeshiva of Hart-
ford and set a fire that gutted one
wing of the day school, causing
damages estimated at $100,000.
The youth, Michael Lawton of
Hartford, also was accused of de-
secrating the sanctuary, throwing
a Torah scroll on the floor, rip-
ping open Jewish National Fund
collection boxes and breaking fur-
niture.
The suspect was traced by iden-
tification of his voice on a tape
recorder, according to Dr. Aaron
Baer, school principal. Before go-
ing on his alleged damage and
arson spree, the youth had re-
corded his plans on the recorder,
police said, and he was traced
through the voice on the tape.

NEW YORK, JTA)—Anti-Semi-
tism has become one of the most
serious problems in postwar Po-
land, a cause of concern among
Polish intellectuals who fear it is
worsening, the New York Times re-
ported from Warsaw.
The development has occurred
despite the fact that, of the 3,000,-
000 Jews who lived in prewar Po-
land, the Nazis left only 30,000
alive and, of these, about 1,000
emigrate annually to other coun-
tries. It has occurred also despite
the fact that the attitude of the
Polish Government toward Jews,
Jewish emigration and Israel is
considered "scrupulously correct,"
according to the report.
However, one major element in
the ruling Polish Communist Party
was reported to be seeking to ex-
ploit anti-Semitism to increase that
element's influence in the party.
That element is the "partisan
group," a highly nationalistic fac-
tion of younger men considered
"hard-line Communists and who
are probably the party's most dyna-
mic farce," the Times stated, con-
tinuing that these Communists are
working hard to replace older
part y officials, many of them
Jews, with the stand that party
jobs should go to people "with
Polish names."
(The status of Polish Jewry was
evaluated on his visit in Poland
two years ago by the editor of The
Jewish News, whose report was
even more pessimistic regarding
Polish Jewry's future than that in
the N. Y. Times. The Jewish News
editor then reported that privately
Polish Jews complained that there
is a deep-rooted anti-Semitism in
Poland, in spite of the reduction
of .112wish numbers to less than
30,0011)

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Kibbutz Sdeh
Boker, where former Prime Min-
ister David Ben-Gurion lives as a
member of the collective settle-
ment, is opposed to the establish-
ment of a West German-Israeli
"Friendship Center" there, the
secretary of the kibbutz an-
nounced.
He confirmed a report printed
in the Hamburg illustrated news-
paper, Der Spiegel, which had
stated that Ben-Gurion supported
the idea of such a cultural center
in Sdeh Boker, to have been con-
structed by a German Protestant
youth group.
According to the kibbutz secre-
tary, however, the collective had
earlier adopted a resolution op-
posing the presence there of any
German group. "Unless this resolu-
tion is reversed," he stated, "there
is no place there for further dis-
cussion of the project."

Telegraph Operators End
Strike by Israel's Order

e

Via. a

JERSALEM (JTA) — Overseas
communication was resumed Sun-
day in Israel when communication
workers returned to their jobs un-
der an unprecedented order from
the ministry of labor to end their
strike or face fines and jail terms.
Telex and telegraph operators
decided to return to their posts also
after four days of striking. Some
700 local telephone exchange op-
erators continued on strike but the
effects of their absence were lim-
ited. The strike was called last
week for higher grading under a
new civil service classification
program.
