and be vested with a smaller, sep-

Bomb in Chicago Suburbs
SKOKIE, Ill. (JTA) — Police in
the Chicago suburbs here were
searching for persons who threw a
black powder bomb near a syna-
gogue-study building of the Hebrew
Theological College here. The blast

caused no injuries. Police said the
bomb had been made from pipe
and apparently was thrown at a
window but fell short and exploded
about five feet outside the Anna
Sarah Katz Synagogue, which also
is a study hall, press services re-
ported. The school's administrator,
Rabbi Melvin G o o d m a n, was
quoted as saying, "I have no idea
why anyone would do such a thing.
As far as I know, the school has
no enemies who would commit such
an act."

the nominations and often serve as
a rubber stamp for pre-determined

bassador to Italy. The General
Council is the government body
