Italian Rabbis Body Accuses Foreign
Peers of Interfering in Local Affairs
ROME (JTA) — The General
Assembly of Italian Rabbis has ac-
cused non-Italian rabbis of inter-
fering in local affairs by classifying
certain hotels and restaurants as
"kosher." A communique pub-
lished following the assembly's
meeting in Florence did not men-
tion the names or nationality of
the non-Italian rabbis who it ac-
cused of "repeated insupportable
behavior."

The communique claimed these
rabbis were violating "the Jewish
principle that imposes respect for
the competence of each local rab-
binical authority."
It deplored the alleged behavior
as "intolerable interference" and
urged Italian rabbis "to combat
this phonomenon with all means in
accordance with halakha" (reli-
gious law).
The rabbis meeting in Flor-
ence asked the Jewish public not
to patronize hotels and restau-
rants designated "kosher" by
other than the local rabbinical
authorities.

The migration official points
out that Jewish life remains un-
certain in many countries. "In a
number of them, emigration of
the Jewish community provides
the only answer," he said.
"We are proud that United Hias
Service was helpful to 800 Jews
who, with passports and exit
permits, left Iraq to join rela-
tives in Western countries. We
are continuing to work to achieve
the departure of those still re-
maining who wish emigration.
"Our joy that many Iraqui Jews
have managed to improve their lot
is dampened when we are forced
to view the said condition of
Syrian Jewry. Syria's 4,300 Jews
have been subject to indignities
and privations and denied basic
rights.
"We will not rest until the lot
of Syria's Jews is bettered and
those who so desire are permitted
to join their families in other
lands," he said.
Of the 3,174 migrants assisted
in 1971. 1,828 were from Europe,
1,088 from the Middle East and
North Africa, 213 from Chile and
45 from Cuba. By area of immi-
gration, 1,731 found new homes
in Western Europe, 955 in the
United States, 268 in Canada, 171
in Latin America and 49 in Aus-
tralia.
Expenditures for t he year
amounted to $2,744,179.
Harold Friedman, United Hias
Service president, reports that
more than 68,000 persons will re-

All good sales, smart shoe shoppers know, must
come to an end. And that's what's in store for the
overwhelmingly wonderful sale at Phillips. You see,
the selection still is good, but days are running out
on your chances to buy big-name men's and
women's shoes at small-small prices. So our
advice to you is: hurry. And that's final. (All sizes, but
