Parley on Soviet Jewry
Raps Moscow for Refusal
to Issue Visas to Rabbis
NEW YORK (JTA)—An organ-
ization which has frequently accus-
ed the Soviet government of anti-
Semitism expressed surprise and
regret over refusal of visas to a
number of rabbis who had been in-
vited to participate in the 75th
birthday celebration for Rabbi
Yehuda Leib Levin of Moscow's
Central Synagogue.
Lewis H. Weinstein, chairman
of the American Jewish Confer-
ence on Soviet Jewry, said it was
"tragic that more Jewish lead-
ers were not present at this cele-
bration which could have been
an opportunity to open new vistas
of communication between Soviet
Jewry and Jews from around
the world."
He said that while the confer-
ence was "dubious" about the poli-
tical motivations of the Soviet au-
thorities in sanctioning the birth-
day observance, it sent Rabbi
Levin a congratulatory telegram
"It is not known whether or not
it was revealed to the 2,000 Jews
who are reported to have attended
the service," he said.

To the tale that this paper can
tell
Of liberty born of the patriot's
dream,
Of a storm-cradled nation that
fell.
Too poor to possess the precious
ores,
And too much of a stranger to
borrow,
We issued today our promise
to pay,
And hoped to repay on the mor-
row.
The days rolled by and the
weeks became years,
But our coffers were empty still;
Coin was so rare that the treas-
ury'd quake
If a dollar should drop ill the
till.
But the faith that was in us was
strong, indeed.
A'nel our poverty well we dis-
cerned,
And this little check represented
the pay
That our suffering veterans
earned,
We knew it had hardly a value
in gold.
Yet as gold each soldier re-
ceived it;
It gazed in our eyes with a prom-
ise to pay,
And each Southern patriot be-
lieved it.
But our boys thought little of
price or of pay.
Or of bills that were over-due;
We knew if it brought us our
bread today.
`Twos the best our poor country
could' do.
Keep it, it tells all our history
o'er.
From the birth of our dreams
'till the last:
Modest, and born of the angel
Hope.
Like our hope of success, it
passed.
Retired Americans
Home in Natanya
The foundation scroll for a hous-
ing development for American pen-
sioners was interred near Netanya,
in central Israel, in a recent cere-
mony attended by the mayor and
the two American investors who
are backing the project.
The center will house 120 persons
and will include dining rooms, rec-
reation halls, a synagogue, a
beauty parlor and a coffee shop.
Every room will have its own bath,
telephone and balcony overlooking
the Mediterranean. Comprehensive
medical care is guaranteed to all
tenants, and a 15-bed hospital will
be built next door.
Richard Gens and Hyman Silver
of Boston invested $1,000,000 in the
center, which will be ready for oc-
cupancy in March 1970.
