the past years we invariably re-
ceived the same unmotivated an-

They said they had concluded
that "Unfortunately nobody is in-
terested in the fact that every re-
fusal causes immeasurable suffer-
ing to the three of us and to our
relations in Israel."
As a result of a petition filed by
them last year, they wrote, "Our
only son was expelled from the
Riga Polytechnical Institute be-
cause of the s e r i o u s nervous
shocks that were the consequences
of the refusal. His health has
greatly deteriorated . . ."
(In London, the publication "Fo-
cus on Soviet Jewry" has put out
a special issue containing hie full
text of the recent appeal to the
seventh International Symposium
on the Chemistry of Natural Sci-
ences by 28 Jewish Riga scientists.
The appeal urged the conferants
to raise their voices in support of
Soviet Jewish rights - )
(The Israel-American dialogue
held at the Weizmann Institute
in Rehovot, sponsored by the
American Jewish Congress, turn-
ed Aug. 5 into a triangle with
Russian Jewry as the third di-
mension.
(Dr. Benjamin Eliyav said that
the dialogue here between Ameri-
can Jews and Israeli Jews has a
third partner — the Russian Jews
— which he said is just a third
center to Jewish life.
(Russian Jews were apparently
deeply affected by the death of
eight children of Avivim settlement
in the terrorist ambush of a school
bus near the Lebanese border last
May. Letters of sympathy from
Jews bearing Soviet postmarks
continue to be received by the
stricken families. A parcel con-
taining toys and candies was re-
ceived at Avivim from a Jew in
Lithuania.)
Meanwhile, rallies protesting the
plight of Soviet Jewry were held
in Denver, Boston, Washington
D.C. and Los Angeles over the
weekend.
In Den v e r, a Catholic nun
joined 32 students and adults for
a three-day fast on the steps of
the capitol building to protest
the recent arrests of nine Lenin-
grad Jews.
The fast was begun Sunday by
23 students and faculty members
of the University of Colorado who
decided on a "Fast for Freedom"
to bring attention to the plight of
the 3,000,000 Jews in the Soviet
Union.
They were soon joined by nine
members of the United Family, a
small Protestant religious group.
The fast was observed with daily
teach-ins by university faculty
members and Tisha b'Av religious
services.
Signatures were gathered on
a "Statement of Concern" to be
presented to Soviet authorities
on behalf of "the 3,000,000 Jews
trapped in a growing tide of
hatred and anti - Semitism," Mrs.
Hoffman said.
In Boston, Fr. Robert F. Drinan,
former dean of the Boston College
Law School commission on civil
rights, was the keynote speaker
Sunday at a rally sponsored by the
New England Region of the Stu-
dent Struggle for Soviet Jewry in
cooperation with the New England
Region of the American Jewish
Committee. The rally was held
in the Boston Common and fea-
tured a "guerrilla theater" per-
formance of the trial of Boris
Kochubiyevsky, a Ukrainian Jew
who was imprisoned for "slander"
against the Soviet state.
In Washington, a fa s t was
sponsored by the Jewish Com-
munity Council of Washington
and the Washington Board of
Rabbis. Several thousand per-
sons took part in religious cere-
monies and at a Conference of
Soviet Jewry held at Bnai Is-
rael Congregation Monday and
Tuesday.
About 1,000 persons demon-
strated on behalf of Soviet Jewry
in Los Angeles last Friday night
in front of the Shrine Auditorium,
where the famed Moiseyev Ballet
Company opened a one-week en-
gagement.

1st Israeli-Trained Speech Therapists
Graduate, Placed in Good Positions
NEW YORK—The first "trained
in Israel" speech therapists com-
pleted their studies this summer,
and all 30 of them have already
landed excellent positions in treat-
ment centers for speech and hear-.
ing disorders, it was reported by
Samuel L. ,Haber. executive vice
chairman of the Joint Distribution
Committee.
The school of communicative dis-
orders at the Tel Aviv University
Medical School gives a three-year
course leading to a bachelors de-
gree. It was established in 1967 at
the initiative of JDC Malben and
receives half of its budget from
the JDC agency, Haber said. The
balance is contributed by other
agencies.
Haber noted that one out of
every thousand people in Israel
suffers from some speech or hear-
ing disability. "Unfortunately," he
said, "Israel has been faced with
a chronic shortage of professional
speech therapists. There were no
training facilities in Israel, and
those few who were trained
abroad had to adapt their training
to conditions in Israel. Now, how-
ever, with the school of communi-
cative disorders well under way.
Israel should be able to train an
adequate number of therapists in
a few years' time."
From its inception in 1949,
JDC Malben has been conscious of
the need to train professional per-
sonnel in Israel, Haber continued.
JDC organized a number of
courses and seminars to train the
different kinds of workers needed
at the various Malben institutions
for the aged, chronically ill and
handicaped.
Dr. Joseph Schwartz Retires as Vice President of Israel Bonds
NEW YORK — Dr. Joseph J.
Schwartz, vice president of the Is-
rael Bond Organization for the
past 15 years and former execu-
tive vice chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, has retired as chief
executive officer of the Israel Bond
Drive, it was announced by Abra-
ham Feinberg, president of the
Israel Bond Organization.
In a statement issued upon his
retirement, Dr. Schwartz explain.
ed that he was doing so after 15
years of "rigorous duties" in
administering the operations of the
Israel Bond effort in some 35 coun-
Yale, following his graduation from
the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Semin-
ary (now Yeshiva University) and
later served as an instructor at
the American University in Cairo
and the faculty of Long Island Uni-
versity. Immediately preceding
his appointment as director of
European operations for the Joint
Distribution Committee in 1938, Dr.
Schwartz was director of the Fed-
eration of Jewish Charities in
Brooklyn.
In 1945, he was named by Presi-
dent Truman to accompany Earl
G. Harrison on a survey tour of
displaced persons camps in the

tries. He expressed confidence
that the organization will be able
"to carry on in the spirit and with
the effectiveness which have en-
abled the Israel Bond Organization
to grow into the the central source
of investment funds for the devel-
opment of the country."
He paid tribute to Jewish com-
munities in various parts of the
world where Israel Bonds are
sold for their "understanding
and devotion" in raising more
than $1,500,000,000 through Israel
Bonds since the inception of the
program in May 1951. "It is also
a tribute to the people of Israel
that they have utilized the Bond
proceeds with extraordinary vi-
sion and careful planning to pro-
duce an impressive record of
progress in every sector of its
economy," he said.
In accepting Dr. Schwartz's de‘.!i-
sion to retire with "great regret."
Feinberg cited his notable human-
itarian achievements as head of
the Joint Distribution Committee
in Europe during World War II.
"The name of Joseph Schwartz is
enshrined in the hearts of many
hundreds of thousands of Jews to
whom he brought surcease and
hope," Feinberg said.
A " distinguished educator and
scholar and an authority on Semi-
tics and Semitic literature, Dr.
Schwartz received his doctorate at
LONDON—It was a quiet funeral
for a once-grand lady. The Grand
Palais, last of the Yiddish thea-
ters here, gave its closing perform-
ance recently to a half-empty
house and prepared for a new era
as a movie theater.
Anna Tzelniker, now starring in
"Fiddler on the Roof," recalled
the Grend Palais at the height of
its popularity during World War
II and its subsequent decline when
the Jewish residents of the East
End moved to the suburbs and
Yiddish was no longer in its hey-
day.
"Some people stuck to the Yid-
dish theater to the end, and when
it began dying they did, too," she
said.
Another Londoner who hates
to see it ge is attorney Basil
Greenby, who took over the own-
ership of the Grand Palais from
his late father, Isidore, and
brother, Cyril.
"I grew up in that theater," he
said. "It was like a big family."
Looking back on the 19205 and
'30s. he recalled that the six - to
eight-month theater season began
officially on Yom Kippur night.
"They were hard times, people
were worried and poor and fright-
ened, and these theaters (there
were three at the time) gave
everyone a feeling of warmth, of
some kind of humanity when there
wasn't too much humanity out-
side." At intermissions, they surg-
ed into the lobbies for tea, bagels
and pickled herring.
Miss Tzelniker said "The audi-
ence was special. If you were good
on stage they applauded wildly
and stamped their feet. If you
were bad, they threw ()range peels
and peanuts. They booed. You
could never be bad at the Grand
Palais."
