Montreal Protestant Board
Approves Pact for Subsidy
of Jewish day school pupils
MONTREAL (JTA) — Jewish
education officials hailed the an-
nouncement by the Protestant
School Board of Greater Montreal
that it was ready to give associate
status to' elementary Jewish day
schools and thus make such schools
eligible for substantial financial
aid under a new Quebec education
law. The school board thus gave its
official approval to terms of an
agreement worked out with the
Canadian Jewish Congress for
such aid.
Under the confessional school
system in Quebec, "public" schools
are under either Protestant or
Catholic auspices. and Jewish par-
ents who send their children to
Jewish day schools must pay
school taxes regardless of which
schools their children attend. Some
3.000 children attend the Jewish
day schools which have applied
for associate status under. Bill 37.
which became effective last July 1.

British Paper Says Czeehs. Reopening Jordan Case
LONDON (JTA) — The Sunday
Observer asserted Sunday, in a
dispatch from Prague, that Czecho-
slovakia had unexpectedly reopen-
ed the case of Charles H. Jordan,
the Joint Distribution executive
vice-chairman who died mysteri-
ously in Prague last August dur-
ing a vacation visit. The dispatch
said that Czech authorities, streng-
thened by recent changes in the
nation's Communist Party leader-
ship, were "giving strong hints"
that those responsible for Jor-
dan's death were not Czech secret
police, as had been rumored, but
"Russian counterintelligence."
The dispatch said the Czechs
were "openly linking" Jordan's
death with the "murder" in Zurich
last year of the Swiss pathologist
Ernest Hardmeir, who did a post-
mortem on Jordan's body. Dr.
Hardmeir was found, frozen to
death, near Zurich, but Swiss
authorities said then there was no
evidence of foul play.
It was reported here that there
was no evidence from any other
source in support of the Observer
dispatch. The Czech government
took the position that the post-
mortem had shown no evidence of
violence and that Jordan died from
drowning.
Arabs may have been respon-
sible for the death of Jordan, ac-
cording to the London Times.
An item in the paper's Diary
Column states: "A new explana-
tion has now filtered out. Soon
after Mr. Jordan's death Mr.
Vladimir Kaucky, a secretary of
the Central Committee, held a
briefing for about 30 senior men

"You ask if Lady Byron was
ever in love with me? No! I was
the fashion when she first came
out: I had the character of being
a great rake, and was a great
dandy—both, of which young ladies
like. She married me from vanity
and the hope of reforming and
