Hebrew and Aramaic.
The uniqueness of this work is
that it contains also, on parallel
pages, modern English transla•
tions with English commentaries
summarizing expositions of tal-
mudic scholars throughout the
ages. These commentaries are
brought down to present-day
scholarship.
Added to the originals and the
translations are brief biographies
of the cited personalities, sum-
maries of legal and ethical princ-
iples contained in the Talmud and
explanations of institutions and
customs referred to in the talmudic
texts.
Typographical expertness marks
the technical effort, and the at-
tractiveness of the booklets which
eventually will comprise the en-
tire Talmud — Babylonian and
Jerusalem—make this undertaking
one of the important literary proj-
ects of the century.

Court Studies Citizenship
of Artist Who Voted in
Israeli Election in '51
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
NEW YORK—A motion by 72-
year old artist Beys Afroyim for
restoration of his United States
citizenship, of which he was strip-
ped for voting in the 1951 Israeli
parliamentary election, was taken
under advisement Tuesday in Fed-
eral Court here.
The petitioner, who is believed
to be in Israel, came to the United
States from Poland in 1912. Under
the name Ephraim Bernstein, and
also known as Beys Afroyim, he
became a naturalized citizen in
1926. After his Israeli vote, the
United States vice consul in Haifa
issued a certicate of loss of na-
tionality under the United States
Nationality Act of 1940 which im-
poses loss of citizenship on Ameri-
cans who vote in elections of other
countries.
Nanette Dembitz, his New York
Civil Liberties Union counsel,
argued that dropping a ballot in a
ballot box did not constitute a
sign of transfer of allegiance and
that the artist never intended to
abandon his United States citizen-
ship. Judge Frederick Van Pelt
reserved decision on the attorney's
motion for summary judgment,
