Rabbi Conrad Named Spiritual Leader of The New Temple Rabbi Ernst J. Conrad was se- lected Wednesday night as spirit- ual leader of the newly formed New Temple. At an organization meeting called by the charter members of the congregation, it was announced that Rabbi Conrad will take over the pulpit as of Sept. 1, and the first services will be held the fol- lowing night, Sabbath Eve, Sept. 2. Rabbi Conrad is formally under contract to Cong. Beth Jacob until the end of this summer. The congregation will draw members largely from Oakland County. The only other Reform temples in that area are Beth Jacob and Temple Emanu-El, which has closed its membership rolls for the time being. "The curriculum of the Union- Central Conference of American Rabbis will form the b a sic re- ligious school program with such modifications as meet the needs of pupils and parents in our area.

Demand Life Terms for 5 Nazis on Trial —STUTTGART (JTA) — The prosecution in the 79-day trial of 10 former Nazis accused of mass murder of Jews in Tarnopol in occupied Galicia has demanded life sentences for five of the defendants. Lesser sentences were asked for two others and acquittals for the remaining three. The . defendants were charged with the murder of at least 20,000 Jews between 1941 and 1943. The prosecution asserted that the de- fendants had no excuse, having committed the murders voluntarily and that they could have avoided the murders if they had wished to do so. Life terms were demanded for Herman Mueller, 57, now a bus- nessman, who was leader of the Nazi security service in Tarnopol and who was charged with 33 counts of murder and complicity in five other cases of murder; Paul Radel, 60; Thomas Hasen- berg, 57; Walter Lamborg, 55; and Willi Hermann, 56. - The prosecution asked for a term of eight years for Horst Winkler, 59, and five and a half years for Paul Mellar. Acquittal for lack of evidence was asked for Erwin Czerwonym, Julius Aust and Hubert Schwach. A total of 120 witnesses were heard during the trial, one of the longest in postwar Germany. Sentences are not expected to be imposed before July. In the Hague the Dutch Parlia- ment approved by a large majority a decision of Justice Minister No Samkalden to transfer temporarily the ailing German war criminal Willy Lages to a West German hospital. The 64-year-old former Nazi is serving a life term in Breeda prison on conviction of aiding in the deportation of 70,000 Jews from Holland to Nazi death camps during the war. The Liberal Party, the Farmers Party and the Com- munists opposed the temporary transfer. In Bonn, a seven-year prison sentence imposed last February on Martin .

For the community's 4,500 Jews—many of whom still live in the teeming slums of the "mel- lah" (ghetto)—Benattar is "Mr. Rabat." He is a member of the com- brew session is anticipated. We are looking forward to an active youth group of high school age. Jewish adult education will be planned by the interested members of the con- gregation as will a meaningful so- cial action program designed to involve our members constructive- ly in the issues of our time. "Above all, we propose to imbide the members with a sense of be- longing and warmth so that they will be eager to participate throughout in the decision-making process. Freedom-of pew and pul- pit is a cornerstone of our pro- posed temple. "It is to reflect our best under- standing of the ageless tradition of Judaism and of the finest aspi- rations of American democracy." The statement of principles was presented as a working basis, and will be ratified at a later date by the full membership. Rabbi Conrad said he hoped the New Temple congregation would be considered a part of the Greater Detroit Jewish community. Mrs. Morris Mersky is tempo- rary chairman of the religious school committee. Ray Rappaport, temporary vice president, spoke on the social and interfaith group activity among the youth, who will provide social services in line with the work Rabbi Conrad has done for the patients of Pontiac State Hospital. He continues to be Jew- ish chaplain there. Julian Scott, temporary presi- dent, presided at the meeting, and Louis Golden opened it hailing the "special- kind of person who wishes to pioneer a congregation of this kind." . It was felt that by encouraging "Liberal Reform Judaism," with a certain amount of experimenta- tion in form of ritual, the services would carry more meaning for the membership. The Union Prayer- book will be adhered to, however. Majority opinion, it was stressed, will determine the degree of in- volvement by the congregation in social issues, as well as the form ritual gradually takes. Offices of the temple, which has no sanctuary as yet, are at Telegraph, Bloomfield Hills, ph 646-5534. 8—Friday, July 1, 1966 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS IRV KATZ Offers is THE FINEST DEAL 1/' THE FINEST SERVICE Come See for Yourself at 20735 GRAND RIVER Minutes From Oak Park & Southfield Between 6 Mile & Evergreen KE 2-7500 ANNOUNCING ■ ■ COVENANT CREDIT UNIONS NEW—ONE YEAR munity committee; he is president of the Soupe Populaire (communi- ty canteen) which daily feeds 60 aged and destitute Jews; he is president of the aide scolaire which runs a feeding program for 500 children, many from poverty- stricken families; and he initiated and is chairman of the relodge- ment program for the aged.

Moscow Fair Visitors Forbidden to Keep Israeli Souvenirs LONDON (JTA) — Visitors to the recent Israeli Pavilion at the International Fair in Moscow were asked by Soviet guards to leave behind souvenirs they had picked up at the pavilion. Israel's invitation to participate in the Soviet International Modern Agricultural Machinery and Equip- ment Fair attracted considerable speculation initially. Later it was learned that while the. participa- tion was widely publicized outside of the Soviet Union, there was no mention in the Soviet Union about the Israeli pavilion, according to additional information coming to light. It was also learned that despite the enthusiastic response to the Israeli exhibits, particularly the irrigation and food - picking ma- chines, no sales of the machines were made in Moscow. Offers to sell such machinery in the Soviet Union were met with blunt rejec tions, according to the reports. Soviet television and Soviet journalists covered the Israeli pavilion fully but none of the Paul Haber of San Jose, 'Calif., coverage appeared either on Soviet won the singles title at the United television or in the Soviet press.
