WASHINGTON—The State De-
partment, speaking on behalf of
President Johnson, said Wednes-
day that the United States consid-
ers the extension of the statute of
limitations on Nazi war criminals
a matter "for the German authori-
ties to decide themselves."
William B. Macomber Jr., assis-
tant secretary of state, wrote Sen.
Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Repub-
lican, in reply to a request made
by the Senate to the President to
urge that the United States ask
Bonn to continue the prosecution
of Nazi criminals. The statute of
limitations expires Dec. 31, 1969.
Criminals would be free to come
out of hiding after that date with-
out fear of prosecution.
Macomber said that "although
we consider this matter one for

N.Y. Jewish Institute for Geriatric Care
to Be Built;,First of It s Kind in the Country
NEW YORK — The first inter-
related, geriatric - psychiatric-
medical center in the country is to
be constructed in New York City.
The Jewish Institute for Geri-
atric Care, costing an estimated
$15,000,000, will be built next to
Long Island Jewish Hospital, a
leading general hospital, and Hill-
side Hospital, a nationally known
psychiatric institution.
The institute is being designed to
serve as a prototype of what is
needed to implement an entirely
new concept of care and rehabili-
tation for the rapidly increasing
number of aged persons through-
out the U.S.
The major portion of its costs
will be in the form of a long
-term, low-interest loan approved
by the sate of New York under
the Nursing Home Companies
Act. Voluntarily contributed funds
will supply the remainder.
Morris C. Kessel, president of
the institute and its sponsoring
organization, the Home and Hos-
pital of the Daughters of Israel,
Manhattan, said that ground for
the 500-bed facility was expected
financed by the Israel government
and the Memorial Foundation for
Jewish Culture for a period of
three years with an option to
extend them for another two years.

The three cooperating institutions
coordinating their programs and
facilities in the project are all
members of the Federation of
Jewish Philanthropies of New York.
Federation studies led to develop-
ment of the institute which will be
built as part of its "city of life"
building program.

ATHENS — A commemoration
of the 25th anniversary of the mass
deportation by the Nazis of the
Jews of Greece will be organized
Thursday by the Jewish commu-
nity of Salonica and the Central
Council of Jewish Communities of
Greece.
Before World War II, more than
77,000 Jews were living in Greece
— about 56.000 of them in Salonica,
which was for centuries known as
"Madre de Is r a e 1" (Mother of
I s r a e 1), a continuous source of
spiritual l i g h t for all Sephardi
Jews.
Of the 77,000 Jews Of Greece,
about 95 per cent were killed in
concentration camps. Today's Jew-
ish population of Greece is about
5,000. About 3,000 are in Athens,
1,000 in Salonica and 1.000 in many
other small cities.
As a port town, Salonica was
not only a Jewish cultural center,
but also a trade center. The town
was until the late '20s, 60 per cent
Jewish in its population and one
of the very few cities in the
world where all shops closed on
Saturdays. Sabbaths had a great
influence not only on Jewish but
on all public life.
At noon Thursday, the memorial
service will be held in the Jewish
cemetery in Salonica. It will be
conducted by the rabbis of all the
Jewish communities of Greece and
will be followed by an address by
Prof. H. Azaria, a member of the
Jewish Community Board of Sa-
lonica. A representative of the
World Jewish Congress also will
speak, while wreaths will be laid
following the s p e e c h e s, at the
memorial to the Greek Jewish vic-
tim of the Nazis.
