removed from tax forms.
The Montreal Urban Coun-
cil had begun to use the let-
ter J on tax forms sent to
Jewish taxpayers after a law
that went into effect in Jan-
uary abolished the old sys-
tem of separate tax lists for
Jews, Catholics and Protes-
tants.
The assessment bills of
Catholics and Protestants are
marked CA and P in the "re-
ligious code" box.
Montreal area Jews, some
of them concentration camp
survivors, protested recently
against the J on their tax
forms which they said was
reminiscent of the J the
Nazis had forced Jews to
wear.
Murry Spiegel, chairman of
the CJC's eastern region, said
after the meeting with Pre-
mier Bouressa that "This has
been a source of great con-
cern to Jewish people since
it evoked memories of the
193945 period when Jews
were forced to bear symbols
indicating their. religion."

15 Israeli Scholars
to Share Views With
U.S. Counterparts

NEW YORK—Sixteen lead-
ing Israeli scholars, writers
and journalists are in the
United States to participate
in a new "scholars in resi-
dence" program sponsored
jointly by the American Zion-
ist Federation and the Amer-
ican Zionist Youth Founda-
tion.
The participants are being
hosted by different commun-
ities in the United States, in-
cluding Detroit, for two weeks
after which they will reunite
in New York Sunday for a
dialogue with their American
counterparts.
Rabbi Israel Miller, presi-
dent of the AZYF, and Dr.
Arnuif Pins, chairman of the
AZYF, pointed out "t h e
uniqueness of the group
which came to our country
not as political personalities
or military figures, and not
in order to raise funds, but
rather as part of a cultural
project reaching out to the
younger elements of the Jew-
ish intellectual community."
The visitors include literary
critic, Gideon Telpaz; Bible
scholar, Benjamin Keidar;
journalist, Shalom Rosenfeld;
poet, Yehuda Amichai;
broadcaster, Nathan Shaham;
sociologist, Rivka Bar-Yosef;
kibutz educator, Prof. Moshe
Kerem ; writer, Matti Meged;
journalist, Hanoch Bar-Toy;
political scientist, Shlomo
Avineri; journalist, Yehuda
Haezrachi; Prof. Uriel Si-
mon; playwright, Israel Eli-
raz (in Detroit) ; and poet
Natan Yonatan.
Another participant is Tal-
mud scholar Adin Steinselhz,
who spoke in Detroit Monday.
