Israel Divorces
Showing Decline

Between the years 1950 and
1962 the number of marriages in
Israel fluctuated between 14,000
and 16,000, some years higher,
some years lower than the previous
one, despite the fact that the total
Jewish population in that period
increased by almost 70 percent.
In 1964 the number of marriages
rose to 17,000 and last year to
18,000. A large proportion of the
new immigrants in the 50s came
from Oriental countries with large
families and the children who ar-
rived 10 or 15 years ago now, ap-
parently, are reaching marriage-
able age.
There was a drop in the divorce
ratio. In 1950, there were 16,000
marriages and 2,500 divorces
among the Jewish population, i.e.,
divorces mounted to about 15 per-
cent of marriages. In 1953 the
ratio went up to almost 16.5 per-
cent, and then began a slow de-
crease which became marked in
recent years. In 1965 the pro-
portion was already down to 13
percent.

Parochial Schools Issue Splits Groups

NEW YORK (JTA) — Represen-
tatives of various Jewish organiza-
tions were divided at a hearing by
the New York City Board of Edu-
cation on a proposal by School

Superintendent Bernard Donovan
that would allocate part of $65,-
000,000 in Federal funds' for aid to
disadvantaged children in parochi-
al and other non-public schools in
poverty areas.
Under the plan, $15,000,000
would be spent on special instruc-
tion, remedial reading and speech
therapy for poor children in reli-
gious and other non-public schools,
in accordance with the Federal
Elementary and Secondary Educa-
tion Act of 1965, which provides
for such aid to non-public schools.
Jewish groups supporting the
proposal included the Jewish Edu-
cation Committee of New York, the
National Society for Hebrew Day
Schools, and the Agudath Israel of
America. Jewish groups opposing
the measure included the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, American
Jewish Congress, Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith, and the Na-
tional Council of Jewish Women.
Marvin Karpatkin, representing
the American Jewish Congress,
urged the Board to reject the pro-
posal because, he said, the measure
violated both the Federal and State
constitutions. Rabbi Morris Sherer,
executive vice - president of Agu-
dath Israel, said that any failure
by the Board to provide remedial
services for disadvantaged children
in non-public schools would violate
the Federal law.

Czech Mass Murderer
Gets Death Sentence;

LONDON (JTA) — Alexander
Kebelec, a former Czech Nazi col-
laborator who was responsible for
the deaths of thousands of Jews
at the Theresienstadt concentration
camp, has been sentenced to
death by a Prague District Court

ing in the Czech newspaper, Rude

his arrest, Kebelec had been living
under an assumed name.
