Jews Treated Well Akiva Kicks Off

NEW YORK—Jews are treated
better in Zambia, an African coun-
try that took the step from colony
to independent nation only eight
months ago, than in many highly
developed countries, according to
a leading American educator who
recently returned from a visit.
Dr. Morton I. Teicher, dean of
Yeshiva University's Wurzweiler
School of Social Work, added a
qualification, however. He said
Zambia's Jews fear that intermar-
riage could threaten their survival.
This fear, he said, sterns from
the smallness of the Jewish popu-
lation in Zambia. Totaling only
about 100 families in a country of
3,500,000 people, Dr. Teicher ex-
plained, Jews have little oppor-
tunity to mingle with other Jews.
With the exception of the 'fear
of intermarriage, however, Jews
in Zambia are relatively free of
problems prevalent in other coun-
tries, Dr. Teicher said.
KIRK DOUGLAS, the actor, on
location in Israel for the movie
production, "Cast A Giant Shad-
ow," was an interested visitor
at the recently-opened Israel
Museum in Jerusalem. Here
Douglas examines the display of
menorahs covering some 400
years. The museum is a project
of the American-Israel Cultural
Foundation. The Foundation,
headed by Isaac Stern, is the
American organization w hich
aids Israel's cultural life.

Nazi, Defended by Jew,
Fined $25 for Violating
Zoning Law in Toronto
TORONTO (JTA)—John Beattie,
the self-styled leader of the Cana-
dian Nazi Party, whose appearance
at a rally touched off a riot here
several weeks ago, was fined $25
for violating a zoning law in allow-
ing his house to serve as Nazi
party headquarters.
In imposing the minimum fine,
Magistrate Robert Dnieper reject-
ed a prosecution request for the
imposition of the maximum of
$300 because, he said, Beattie was
to be treated as any other first
offender.
The Nazi was defended by John
Weisdorf, a Jewish attorney who
said that 50 of his relatives had
been murdered by the Nazis. Weis-
dorf served as a volunteer coun-
sel on behalf of the Legal Aid
Society. Beattie said that he would
appeal the fine.

Fiance of Princess
THE HAGUE (JTA) — Claus
von Amsberg, the West German
diplomat and former member of
the Hitler youth movement whose
betrothal to Crown Princess Bea-
trix of the Netherlands has evoked
widespread opposition among the
Dutch people, asserted in a tele-
vision interview that he had al-
ways rejected anti-Semitism.
"I can never understand why
Jews as Jews should be ill-treated,"
he told the television audience. "I
have always refused to take part
in Jew-baiting. Anti-Semitism never
entered my mind while I was in
school."
He contended he had been
"shuttled into" the Hitler youth
movement. He said that as a pris-
oner of war in Italy, he saw pic-
tures of Nazi concentration camps
shown by American army officers
and was appalled by the film. "I
was never aware of such cruelties,"
he declared.
It was reported here that von
Amsberg had been initially sched-
uled to be first secretary at the
projected West German embassy
in Israel.

Israeli Doctors Slow Down in Hospital Protest
Tuition charges at Brandeis Uni-
versity will increase by $250, ef-
fective September, 1966, bringing
the tuition rate to $1,900 for a full
academic year.
Brandeis Dean of Students Ker-
mit C. Morrissey noted that the
increase is required to meet the
rapidly rising costs of education.
Think in terms of U.S. Savings
Bonds and you'll get much more
than "a penny for your thoughts".
One a month, at $37.50, will bring
back $50.00 a month at maturity.
