NEW YORK (JTA) — A growth
in the number of cases reflecting
changes in Jewish family and com-
munal life was indicated in the
47th annual report of the Jewish
Conciliation Board of America.
The board, of which Dr. Israel
Goldstein is chairman, said it held
18 sessions and heard '78 cases dur-
ing the past year. The report said
that "like many social institutions,"
the Jewish family had changed and
"self assertion and individual
rights are more in vogue. The prob-
lems of children moving out of the
home and the incidence of inter-
mariage accounts for many of the
cases" brought before the board.
The report said that while, "un-
fortunately, we cannot help all
who come to us, we have been able
to resolve a high percentage of
their conflicts."
The board adjudicated disputes-
in Jewish fraternal organizations
whose problems in recent years
have involved liquidatin" of long-
standing fraternal gr whose
memberships have dwindled. In
other cases, the report said, dis-
putes have revolved around admin-
istration of funds of fraternal
groups controlled by one or two
officers because the few remaining
members are too enfeebled by age
to attend meetings.
Galician Society to Help
Build Israel Blood Bank
NEW YORK — The American
Red Mogen Dovid's plans to build
a massive first aid station, out-
patient hospital and central blood
bank complex in Haifa were greet-
Ginsberg
Rothschild
ed with an offer by the Galician
Jewish Society of Los Angeles to
participate in that undertaking.
The society has made it its prime
Ambassador Asher Ben Natan, concern to organize support for
Mogen Dovid Adom, Israel's Na-
United States Ambassador George
McGee, West German Minister tional Red Cross Service, and for
the Jewish National Fund.
Carlo Schmidt and Kurt R. Gross-
man, an American active in the
reparations program, were among
those present.
The observance was sponsored
by the West German Society for
Christian — Jewish Cooperation
and the Medical Research Founda-
tion of Philadelphia as a reminder
that some Germans had "obeyed
their conscience" and risked their
lives to save Jewish fellow-citizens.
One speaker noted that although
the Gestapo pronounced Germany
"Judenfrei" — rid of Jews — in
1943, several thousand German
Jews survived, mainly through the
efforts of their non-Jewish friends
and neighbors who hid them out,
supplied them with food and even
with identity papers.
One of the Gremans who had
helped Jews survive, an elderly
Bavarian farmwife, Frau Diensing-
er, was introduced by Ambassador
Ben Natan who presented her with
a scroll. She and her husband shel-
tered dozens of Jews who had man-
aged to escape from trains bound
for the Auschwitz and Treblinka
camps.
Germans Honored for Saving Jews
BONN (JTA) — Germans who
rescued Jews, the "unsung heroes"
of the Nazi era in Germany, were
honored by West German Chris-
tians and Jews at a gathering
in Beethoven Hall here. Israel's

Widows of Israeli Soldier Free to Wed
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Israel Army chaplaincy announced
that all the Israeli soldiers killed in the Six-Day War have been
identified, freeing the widows of men previously reported missing
but whose bodies had not been identified, of the status of "aguna."
Under Jewish religious law, the wife of a missing person - is not
permitted to remarry. The religious laws governing marriage and
divorce are the laws of Israel and, without the chaplaincy ruling
Monday, these wia vs would not have been allowed ever to remarry.
The chaplaincy ruling today relives them of the "aguna" status.

JERUSALEM — A 130-year-old
Turkish inn uncovered here a few
months ago has been renovated
and converted into the city's finest
permanent theater — the first in
2,000 years, that is.
Until now, theatrical productions
in Jerusalem have played on uni-
versity stages, in night clubs, under
the stars or on orchestra platforms.
The cave-like structure, called
the Jerusalem Khan (Turkish for
inn), seats 450 persons and cost
$300,000 to rehabilitate.
The khan is believed to have
at one time the only structure out-
side the Old City walls. It was used
to, provide a night's lodging for
travelers and their mounts after
the city gates had been locked.
