> Kirk Douglas Visits Israel's Museum Jews Treated Well Akiva Kicks Off in Zambia; Fear Scholarship Fund Intermarriage . , ....... 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.

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.

German 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. 570 S.
