chairmen in this division are Dr.
Saul Gorne, Alfred Klein and Syd-
ney Melet.
Megdell said that it has been
the traditional responsibility of
the UJA to bring the immigrants
to Israel, including the almost
40,000 who arrived in 1969 and
the more than 40,000 who are ex-
pected in 1970. "Now we must
also take full responsibility for
the rehabilitation and absorp-
tion of these immigrants, as well
as the training and care of 300,-
000 inunigrants who remain un-
absorbed because of the illiter-
acy and lack of skills they
brought with them from non-
Western, underdeveloped coun-
tries," he said.
Pelavin noted that UJA funds
were vitally needed to care for
the more than 300,000 destitute
Jews elsewhere in the world, many
of whom have faced deprivation

News Notes

MUNICH (JTA) — Four former
SS officers accused of shooting
thousands of Jews in Southern
Russia during World War II, went
on trial here Monday. The prose-
cution says the killings were ex-
ceptionally brutal and has asked
Soviet authorities in Moscow to
permit Russian witnesses to come
to Munich to testify.
The defendants were said to
have operated with a special group
in the areas of Nikolayev and
Sinferopel in the wake of the ad-
vancing Nazi armies in 1941. Maj.
Johannes Zapp, now 65, who
commanded the group, is charged
with participation in 15,860 cases
of murder. He is the chief de-
fendant.
Former SS Sgt. Leo Recker, 57,
is accused of participating in
5,000 shootings. Former SS Lt.
Karl Noa, 59, is charged with
aiding in the deaths of 1,700 Jews,
but former Lt. George Moehlmay-
er, 58, is accused in only two
cases. According to the prosecu-
tion, the victims were shot in the
neck at point blank range. In
many cases, babies were shot in
their mother's arms. The trial is
expected to last three weeks.

S. Vietnamese Senators
Visit Israel 'to Learn'

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Seven
members of the South Vietnamese
Senate arrived here Wednesday on
an official 10-day visit to see what
they could "learn from Israel"
that would benefit their own
country's search for "peace and
development."
The group is headed by Sen.
Van Don and includes among its
members Mrs. Nagoyan Fouok
Dai, deputy head of the senate
and a member of its labor, foreign
affairs and securities committees.
They were met at Lydda
Airport by a group of foreign
ministry officials who denied
that the visitors had been in-
vited officially to Israel. Israel
has recognized the Saigon gov-
ernment but does not have
diplomatic relations with South
Vietnam.
The group described itself as a
"study mission." They got their
Israeli visas from the Israeli Con-
sulate in Bangkok, Thailand. They
said they would visit kibutzim and
moshavi and hoped to meet with
local leaders.
"We are a small nation fighting
vast forces, and,; like you, we
want to end the war," a spokes-
man for the group told newsmen
at Lydda. "We want a lasting
peace with guaranteed borders so
that we can divert all of our re-
sources to developing our country,"
he said.

Genesee County Circuit Court
Judge Stewart A. Newblatt, 42, has
resigned from his post on the
bench with an attack on Michi-
gan's penal code and divorce laws,
which he described as archaic and
cruel.
Judge Newblatt, who said he
would return to private law prac-
tice, was appointed to the judge-
ship by Gov. John Swain.son in
1962. At 34, Newblatt was one of
the youngest Circuit Court judges
in Michigan history. In 1966, he
was elected to a full term and still
had five years to go.
Put through the University of
Michigan law school by his
widowed mother (as was his
brother, District Judge Harry P.
Newblatt of Flushing), he was a
top graduate in his class. He is
highly respected by his col-
leagues.
Judge Newblatt complained that
present divorce laws are "unjust
and ludicrous" and that the penal
code is "illogical, ill-conceived, il-
drafted and cruel." He said the
state prison system is "barbaric."
About 75 per cent of his job
was simple administration, said
the judge, who now plans "to re-
turn to private practice where I
can, once again, apply what I have
been trained to do—practice law."
