The will was contested by Rose's sister, Mrs. Miriam Stern, who claimed that Rose's attempt to in- sure the tax deductability of chari- table bequests was against public policy. Surrogate Judge S. Samuel DiFalco, in his opinion, said that the Billy Rose Foundation was established in 1958 as a trust with religious, charitable and educational purposes, and that the New York attorney general has raised no question as to the validity of the gifts made in the will.

Since then, Dr. Perlzweig noted, there has been no improve- ment in the situation affecting the Jewish communities in the three Arab countries. "Ancient Jewish communities are being subjected to terror and intimidation," the WJC reported. "There have been many Jewish victims' of physical violence and assault, and hundreds have been • imprisoned without any charge under conditions of revolting bar- barism." All humanitarian efforts to amel- iorate the situation, Dr. Perlzweig informed Thant, have been frus- trated, including efforts to visit prisoners and evacuate them from the Arab lands. "These defenseless people," the WJC representative "difficulties of jurisdiction" In any efforts by the Canadian govern- ment to do anything about the plight of Jewish nationals of Arab countries. He cited previous efforts "to al- leviate the conditions of other Jew- ish communities which have come under pressure" and added he would "not hestitate to take such action if it appears to be desirable and useful. I wish to assure you that if any opportunity arises for me to raise this matter in a con- structive context, perhaps through contacts at the United Nations, I shall certainly do what I can." 10—Fridery, August 4, 1967 LAWN SPRINKLERS REPAIR AND INSTALLATION Quality Work at Reasonable Prices! 527-5044 "Get Our Price Last" LOOKING FOR A DEPENDABLE DEALER?
