A program for a year's study
in Israel for second year American
high school students, beginning
with the 1967-68 academic year
will be offered by the America-
Israel Secondary School Program,
it was announced by Rabbi Mor-
decai Chertoff, director of the
newly organized group, which has
offices at 515 Park Avenue, New
York.
Two leading Israeli secondary
schools, Alonei Yitzchak in the
Shomron Valley about five miles
from Caesaria, and Shafir's
Yeshivat, Or-Etzion, in the Lachish
area, near Ashkelon, are partic-
ipating in the program. Both
schools will offer full American
second year high school programs
augmented by special courses in
the Hebrew language and Israeli
studies. The curriculum to be of-
fered has been approved by an
advisory committee of noted
American educators and will be
supervised by the Israel ministry
of education. The American cur-
riculum has been generally pat-
terned on that of the American
Embassy School in Herzliah, main-
tained largely for the children of
English speaking personnel which
similarly prepares students for re:
turn to American schools.
The academic year, to begin next
September, will be preceded by a
six-weeks course in Hebrew, be-
ginning in July, at an ulpan in
Israel. The general courses will be
taught in English with the Judaica
courses taught in Hebrew as much
as possible.
Full information on the new
program, including detailed descrip-
tions of the curricula, are available
on request to the America-Israel
Secondary School Program, 515
Park, New York 10022, or from Is-
rael consular offices.
CHICAGO (JTA—Plans to raise
$250,000 to establish a chair of
canon law in the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem, from which the
Most Rev. John P. Cody, Roman
Catholic archbishop of Chicago
would deliver the first lecture, were
announced here by John Crown, a
lawyer, and Thomas A. Lewis, a
stockbroker, who head a special
fund-raising committee. Mayor
Richard J. Daley is honorary chair-
man of the group.
A $100-a-plate dinner to honor
Archbishop Cody will be held Jan.
25 in the Palmer House. More than
1,500 persons are expected to at-
tend, Crown said. Crown present-
ed a check for $25,000 to the fund
in 1943 was to adopt a Jewish baby
and pass him off as one of their
own children until the end of the
war.
At one point during the war, the
entire Hulstein family was held
at gunpoint during a Gestapo raid
on their home and threatened with
death unless they revealed informa-
tion about hiding places of Jews
and identities of resistance work-
ers.
The Hulsteins revealed nothing,
but the Gestapo eventually suc-
ceeded in capturing 50 of the resis-
tance workers who were sent to
concentration camps along with
Hulstein. He was released two
months later when the Nazis re-
alized the end of the war was ap-
proaching.
In ceremonies here, Bill Sim-
mons, chairman of a special com-
mittee formed to raise money for
the Hulsteins with the cooperation
of the Canadians Jewish Congress,
tore up the mortgage and an-
nounced the gift of the pension
on behalf of the Vancouver Jewish
community.
Israel Army Cancels Presentation
of Levin Play at Otto Frank's Request
Levin sanctioned the Soldier's
Theater production on the grounds
that the "Jewish people has an
immutable right to its own cultural
material."
He acknowledged having given
up all his legal rights to his ver-
sion of the play in 1959, but said
the army's decision to cancel the
current production was "scan-
dalous."
In a letter accompanying the
1959 settlement, Levin had proni-
ised "not to circularize rabbis or
any other groups or persons on
the Anne Frank subject or stim-
ulate either public or private con-
troversy about the diary or my part
in relation to it."
Now he said, however, "If I
signed such an agreement and gave
away my rights to continue such
a discussion, then I was greatly
at fault and I repUdiate it."
in behalf of the Crown family, ac-
tive supporters of charitable works.
Crown, who is Jewish, and
Lewis, who is a Catholic, were
selected as leaders of the cam-
paign to symbolize the inter-faith
effort to establish the chair.

Vancouver Jews Set Up Life Pension
for Couple Who Saved Lives in War
VANCOUVER (JTA) — A non-
Jewish couple, credited with sav-
ing the lives of many Jews during
the Nazi occupation of the Nether-
lands during the Second World
War, was honored in special cere-
monies here in which members of
the Vancouver 'Jewish community
expressed their gratitude for the
wartime heroism by paying off the
mortgage on the couple's home and
providing them with a $100-a-
month lifetime pension.
The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Hulstein, emigrated to Canada
after the Second World War. Hul-
stein, now 63, has been unable
to work since the Nazis sent him
to a concentration camp for his
wartime efforts in the Dutch under-
ground and in saving the lives of
countless Jewish refugees.
For two years during the war
the Hulsteins' home in Apple-
doorf, Holland, was a transfer
point for Jewish refugees on
