Jewish Defense League
Sends Members to
`Protect' N. J. Stores
NEW YORK (JTA)—A spokes-
man for the Jewish Defense
League said here that the militant
organization sent members to
Passaic to protect Jewish mer-
chants from the rioting which
swept Passaic for several days.
The JDL spokesman here re-
fused to say how many members
went to Passaic or whether they
were armed. The spokesman said
"We were called for help. If we
can help, we will."
The rioting was sparked by
the attempt of a landlord to raise
the rent of tenement apartments
occupied by Puerto Ricans. The
rioters firebombed a Passaic
school despite a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
curfew. Many of the business
enterprises damaged in the vio-
lence were Jewish-owned and
one of the merchants reportedly
asked the JDL for help.
Bertram Zweibon, JDL attorney,
called the rioting "a pogrom" and
"a visitation of the Kristallnacht,"
a reference to the night of Nov. 9,
1938, when Nazi stormtroopers
smashed Jewish stores and syna-
gogues in a coordinated action
throughout Germany.
Mayor Bernard Pinck of Passaic
called the JDL presence "vigilante
control" and said it was not neces-
sary. He said "we are prepared
to handle the situation with our
local people."

Rebbe Stresses Need
for Tefilin Campaign
NEW YORK — A strong appeal
was made here by the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.
Schneerson, to accelerate the pace
of the "Tefilin Campaign" he in-
itiated more than two years ago
on the eve of the Six-Day War.
In his call to Jews throughout the
world, the Rebbe said that he had
been asked whether it was still
necessary to continue the campaign
in which he sought to have as
many Jews as possible observe the
mitzva of Tefilin.
The Rebbe stated that the ob-
servance of Tefilin "has a particu-
lar quality in that it is a source
of strength for the Jew. The es-
calation of hostilities in and around
the Holy Land demand, therefore,
new effort to expand the cam-
paign."
Program for Blind
Started in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES (JTA)—A long-
range regional program to develop
activities involving blind Jews is
being developed here under Reform
auspices with stress on religious
participation within existing syna-
gogues, according to Philip
Leanse, chairman of the sponsor-
ing group. The announcement
emphasized that the blind Jews do
not want to be "segregated" into
a separate group.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Branch of-
fices of Bank Leumi all over

the Suez Canal, Sharm el-Sheikh,
Golan Heights and other far-flung
outposts.
During the first day, tens of
thousands of books were deposited
by civilians. They will be distrib-
uted,by the soldiers welfare fund.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Ten thou-
sand government-employed engi-
neers and technicians returned to
work Tuesday after reaching a
compromise agreement to end a
three-day strike which began Sun-
day.
The agreement called for a spe-
cial committee to prepare amend-
ments to a recent government reg-
ulation which would require jobs
now filled by practical engineers
and technicians to be•assigned only
to licensed engineers in the fu-
ture. The compromise was worked
out by Labor Minister Yosef Al-
mogi, who agreed to abide by the
comm itte e's recommendations
which are to be made within two
months.
The brief strike caused the sus-
pension of all Israeli radio and
television programs except for
brief newscasts and limited com-
munications at Lydda Airport to
meteorological reports.
ATLANTA (JTA) — The 16-
year-old Hebrew Academy here has
been rated by a committee of lead-
ing educators as having a program
of "excellence with highest grad-
ings in nearly every aspect pos-
sible," according to Ephraim
Frankel, director of the day school.
The rating was given by a com-
mittee of the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools which
visited the school in connection
with its application for accredita-
tion by the association. After visits
to each classroom, staff inter-
views and a thorough examination
of all phases of the academy's op-
eration, the committee gave the
school the highest marks possible
in every category. The school was
started in 1953 with a kindergarten
class of 16. There are now about
200 students in the school's seven
grades.
