Mrs. Rachel Zavilevicz, 67, arrives at Kennedy Airport from the
USSR with the ashltance of United Hias Service and HIAS of Balti-
more. She is greeted by her husband, Michael Smith (formerly
Zavilevicz) and son, Sol, and her grandchildren. After World War II,
Mrs. Zavilevicz was separated from her husband and son in Russian
occupied territory. Missing for some time, she was presumed lost, /

five years ago, he had his second marriage annulled and began efforts
to bring Mrs. Zavilevicz to this country. Reunion at the airport was
a joyous occasion. Mrs. Zavilevicz will live in Baltimore with
her family.
A Weinberg by Any Other Name .. .
NEW YORK—On the grounds that "in this day and age, one
is not judged by his surname and certainly is not stigmatized by
whatever surname one carries," Civil Court Judge Jacob Weinberg
has turned down the petition of a Brooklyn resident to change
the names of his two teen-aged sons. The petitioner's name is
Samuel Weinberg.
In his application, Weinberg asked to change his boys' names
to Lansing "for future business reasons, such that my sons shall.
not bear any possible stigma as a result of their present family
name."
Judge Weinberg took Weinberg to task for lack of pride in his
name, saying "It is incidental that this court happens to have the
same surname of Weinberg and found that it was no handicap to
him to bear such name; the court is proud to carry on the name
of his forefathers." Since Weinberg did not wish to change his own
name, "the name of Weinberg should be good enough for his
children; the change of name does not change the character or
personality of an individual."
Judge Weinberg ruled that when the boys, age 19 and 15,
reach 21 they may make their own decision.
Bonn to Support Israel but deGaulle Will Decide
BONN (ZINS) — Circles which
are close to the foreign ministry
assert that the West German gov-
ernment will support Israel in its
endeavors to gain entry into the
Common Market. The same circles
add that while some other mem-
bers of the "Market" will endorse
Israel's application, the deciding
voice will be that of de Gaulle.
France is in a position to veto neg-
otiations with Israel, and in the
event she will exercise such a veto
all Israel's labors ill be abortive.
Israel's close friendship with the .
United States is not conducive to
France taking a favorable position
in the matter, pessimists point out.
France May End Embargo

to Israel was canceled. Some poli-
tical observers are of the view that
General de Gaulle will consent to
the annulment of the arms embargo,
but that he will do so because of
an anti-American motivation which
is so symptomatic of his foreign
policy. de Gaulle is convinced that
France's continued enforcement
of its arms embargo V3ould cause
Israel to become entirely depen-
dant upon the United States for
arms and in this event, Israel
would have no alternative but to
fall under the complete dictate of
the United States, an eventuality
which is not dear to the heart of
de Gaulle.

LONDON (JTA) — Israel's mil-
itary successes in the Six-Day War
have made increased immigration
into the country a "foremost nec-
essity," and governmental admin-
istrative apparatus has been "rad-
ically reorganized" in the face of
this situation, A.L. Pincus, chair-
man of the Jewish Agency exec-
utive committee, told officers of
the British Zionist Federation. He
said a joint committee of Israel
cabinet ministers and executive
members of the agency has been
made responsible for the practical
planning of immigration and for
the absorption of immigrants. Im-
migration administration has now
been centralized in one department,
he said.
Pincus said that, while there was
still unemployment in some sec-
tors of the Israeli economy, there
was also a noticeable lack of man-
power in others. He said a number
of concessions for new immigrants
has already been agreed upon, in-
cluding lower taxation, housing
facilities and free Ulpanim (inten-
sive instruction in Hebrew).
Pincus said that the dangers
Israel faced just before the war
and her subsequent victories had
aroused al deeper sense of soli-
darity in esery Jewish commun-
ity throughdut the world. There
was an active interest in Israel's
post-war problems, he said: and
he called upon the world Zionist
movement to "give meaningful
direction to these awakened
creative energies." In view of
these circumstances, Pincus said,
the Jewish Agency Executive
felt it "imperative" to advance
by-,a year the date of the World
Zionist Congress. The new date
is February 1968 in Jerusalem.
