Detroit DA's Office Drops Charges
Against Rabbi Ticktin in Abortion Case
The district attorney's office here
has decided to drop charges of aid-
ing and abetting an abortion filed
against a Chicago rabbi who is a
participant in a nationwide inter-
faith program of free counseling
to women with unwanted pregnan-
cies, the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency was informed.
Rabbi Max D. Ticktin was
charged in connection with his
activities as a member of the Chi-
cago Counseling Service for Prob-
Detroiter Joins
in Vienna's Plans
lem Pregnancies, one of a loose
federation of such programs or-
ganized under the leadership of
the Rev. Howard Moody, of the
Baptist Judson Memorial Church
in Manhattan.
The program, now operating
in 11 American cities, seeks to
help such women get expert
abortions usually barred to them
by anti-abortion laws which the
clergymen consider archaic and
cruel. The long-range goal of the
program is to obtain complete
abolition of all anti-abortion
laws.
The decision of the district attor-
ney's office in Detroit to drop the
case was reported in New York by
Rev. Moody's office.
A spokesman for Rev. Moody re-
ported that Rabbi Ticktin was the
I first rabbi and second clergyman
to be charged in the nationwide
interfaith counseling program. The
spokesman said the other parti-
cipant was a Cleveland minister
similarly accused two years ago,
whose case bad been pending since.
The spokesman also reported
that, as a result of the publicity
attending filing of charges against
the Chicago rabbi, the two-month
old Chicago service had acquired
three more rabbinical participants
and now had a total of 15 rabbis
out of some 40 clergymen mem-
bers.

Christian `Mitzva'
Brings 2nd Deed
A gift of $200 to the Plymouth
State Home and Training School
for retarded children was handed
over by 200 Jewish and Christian
bowlers at their annual Brother-
hood Month bowling tournament
last week.
Two men who intended to accept
the gift for the school could not
be there, but they were honored
in absentia. They are St a n 1 e y
Wyczawski, 23, of Dearborn, and
John Larsen, 26, of Detroit, who
attend St. John Seminary in
Plymouth, near the training school.
The bowlers, from Ivan S.
Bloch Lodge of Bnai Brith and
Fr. Kramer Council of the
Knights of Columbus, donated
the tournament proceeds to the
Plymouth home in honor of the
two Catholic student priests who
had taught a retarded Jewish
boy his Bar Mitzva lessons.
Thanks to them, Gary Sherman,
son of the Nathaniel Bookmans,
observed his Bar Mitzva last
August at Cong. Adas Shalom. He
I recited, from memory, the pray-
ers before and after the reading
of the law.
Wyczawski himself had to learn
the Hebrew off a record given
to him by the boy's mother.

SATURDAY
Bnai Brith has reissued a port-
folio of historic letters and docu-
ments concerning Abraham Lin-
coln's relations with the Jewish
community of his day.
Entitled "Lincoln and the Jews,"
the portfolio includes facsimiles of
seven items including an 1860 ex-
change of letters between Lincoln
and Abraham Jonas, an early poli-
tical supporter, in which Jonas
warned the President-elect of an
assassination plot; the Jewish
community's petition which led to
appointment of the first Jewish
chaplain in the U.S. Army, and an
1863 Bnai Brith petition which,
with similar protests, led to Lin-
coln's revoking a Union Army or-
der expelling Jews in territories
under military control.
