Conservative Rabbis to Examine Renewal of Jewish Liturgy The Conservative Rabbinate's new Mahzor, the High Holy Day Prayer Book now in preparation, will commemorate the destruction of European Jewry with at least one prayer and some of the holo- caust literature in the Yiddish language, it was revealed by Rabbi Max J. Routtenberg, president of the Rabbinical Assembly. The Mahzor in particular and the liturgy in general will be discussed at the 65th annual con- vention of the assembly, May 23- 27, at the Concord, Kiamesha Lake, N.Y. The Mahzor, according to Rabbi Routtenberg, will represent the Conservative rabbis' discontent with being merely "the transmis- sion agencies for tradition, al- though we cannot conceive of Judaism without knowledge of and reverence for the spiritual legacy of our faith. Our High Holy Day Prayer Book will be rooted in tra- dition, yet will incorporate more recent liturgical achievements."

JDC Plants 2,500-Tree' Israel Grove Commemorating 50th Anniversary A 2,500-tree grove was planted in Israel by the Joint Distribution Committee in commemoration of its 50th anniversary. Some 1,200 JDC-Malben employes and several hundred of their children attended the dedication ceremony in Herzl Forest. The Malben workers came from as far away as Acre and Safed in the north and Jerusalem in the east, including directors, thera- pists, nurses, aides and other staff members of the 25 old age homes, hospitals, sheltered workshops and out-patient clinic comprising PDC- Malben today. Malben is the JDC welfare pro- gram on behalf of aged, ill and - Italian Police Probe Swastika Smearings handicapped immigrants in Israel maintained by the JDC with United Jewish Appeal funds. Also on hand for the occasion were Moses A. Leavitt, executive vice-chairman, Charles H. Jordan, director-general for overseas oper- ations, Theodore D. Feder, JDC director for Israel, and Yacov Tsur, chairman of the Jewish National Fund. Addressing the assemblage on a hilltop overlooking 'a lush land- scape of forest and green fields, Leavitt recalled that it was a re- quest for help for the isolated Palestinian Jews received by Jacob Schiff on Aug. 31, 1914, from United States Ambassador Morgen- thau that led to the formation of the Joint Distribution Committee. A GOOD MAN TO KNOW ! (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) ROME — Italian police were in- vestigating Tuesday incidents in Padua in northern Italy where a memorial stone to Nazi victims on the facade of a synagogue in that city was found smeared. The walls of a building, in which the presi- dent of the Padua Jewish com- munity lives, were also found smeared with swastikas and slo- gans hailing Mussolini and Fasc- ism. The incidents occurred shortly after a ceremony was held at the synagogue in which civic leaders and members of the Jewish com- munity laid wreaths at the me- morial stone marking the struggle by resistance fighters against the Nazis.
