Station Drops
Jews for Jesus
TV Program
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
management of WPIX-TV
cancelled "Les Crane Re-
ports on Jews for Jesus," a
program scheduled to be
broadcast at midnight, March
29. The television outlet is
owned by the New York
Daily News.
The program, produced by
Beth Shar Shalom, an affili-
ate of the American Board
of Missions to the Jews,
which purchased the broad-
cast time, had been widely
advertised.
A quarter-page advertise-
ment in the New York Times
urged viewers to watch the
show to find out "what's be-
hind this movement sweep-
ing the country, particularly
among the youth." The ref-
erence was to the "Jews for
Jesus" movement.
Les Crane, who made the
filmed report, was formerly
a late night talk show host
on local channels.
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum,
director of the American
Jewish Committee's interreli-
gious affairs department, told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agen-
cy that WPIX had informed
him of the cancellation after
the program was screened
at its studios for representa-
tives of Jewish organizations.
WPIX was reportedly in-
nundated with telephone calls
protesting the program when
the ad appeared in the
Times, though by then it had
already announced the can-
cellation.
Rabbi Tanenbaum said that
he and others who viewed
the show found it to contain
"an invidious defamation of
Judaism as a living religion
and of the Jewish people as
a vital historic community."

Goldmann Sees Israelis
Supporting Concessions;
Sadat Threat Ridiculed
BRUSSELS (JTA) — Dr.
Nahum Goldmann, president
of the World Jewish Con-
gress, said Tuesday that he
felt a great majority of Is-
raelis were ready to make
major concessions to secure
peace and that the Arab
states were prepared to rec-
ognize Israel and give up
the pursuit of a military so-
lution to the Middle East
conflict.
"For the first time in the
25 years of Israel's exist-
ence, I am optimistic about
the chances for a settlement
with the Arabs," Goldmann
told a press conference here.
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Warlike
statements from Cairo were
dismissed in Israeli circles
Tuesday as no more than
threatening rhetoric for home
consumption. The circles said
there is little likelihood at
this time of military action
by Egypt that would break
the cease-fire.
No unusual activity has
been observed along the
Egyptian side of the Suez
Canal. Egyptian soldiers are
engaged in routine activities
and there are no signs of
tension along the line, the
circle said.
Threats of resumed war-
fare against Israel were
made by Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat in an inter-
view with Newsweek Maga-
zine's senior editor, Arnaud
de Borchgrave, published this
week. Cairo Radio has widely
broadcast portions of the in-
terview. Sadat expressed bit-
ter disappointment with the
United States, admitted that
the Washington visit last
month of his personal envoy,
Hafez Ismail, was a failure
and pledged to challenge Is-
rael's occupation of Sinai
with military force.
Israeli
observers
said,
however, that Sadat's threats
were empty because he
knows that any military ad-
ventures by Egypt are
doomed to defeat.
Israel's chief of staff, Gen.
David Elazar, stated recent-
ly that Israel would react
with utmost severity to any
Egyptian military action
even if it is regarded as
"unlimited."
Hitler Aide on Trial, Charged
With Helping Send Jews to Death
BONN (JTA) — Dr. Al-
brecht Ganzenmueller, 68,
former state secretary in Hit-
ler's transport ministry, went
on trial this week in Dussel-
dorf for his alleged part in
sending millions of Jews to
the gas chambers of Ausch-
witz, Treblinka, Sobibor, Bel-
zec and Lublin from July
1942 on.
Ganzenmueller has been
described as the archetype
of the Nazi "desk murderer."
(schreibtischtaeter).
The Dusseldorf public proS-
ecutor has to prove that Gan-
zenmueller. in his capacity
of deputy director general of
the Reich Railways, was
guilty of providing thousands
of rail trucks to transport
Jews to the Nazi extermina-
tion camps. Ganzenmueller
denies knowing for what pur-
pose the trucks were used.
He has pleaded not guilty to
abetting murder in more than
1,000,000 cases.
Recent research by Wolf-
gang Scheffler, the West
Berlin historian, indicates
that 1,750,000 Jews at least
were exterminated at Tre-
blinka, Belzec and Sobibor
alone. About 1,000,000 Jews
were murdered at Auschwitz
concentration camp. Thise
figures indicate the enormity
of' Ganzenmueller's alleged
crimes.
About 120 witnesses will
be called to give evidence
against Ganzenmueller. Pre-
liminary investigations have
been going on for years, and

Millionaire Saves
Miami Yeshiva
MIAMI BEACH — In a
city of luxurious hotels, a
Jewish day school was suf-
fering from a rising deficit
until a local millionaire—a
Reform Jew—donated $750,-
000 to save the Yeshiva.
Melvin Landau, .a 46-year-
old author, bank director and
the largest retail dealer of
appliances in the South, said
he donated the money to the
Ohelo Torah Day School here
because "I want to insure
that my children will not
cease to be Jews. I want to
make certain that the Jew-
ish race does not terminate
with my generation."
When the school's deficit
rose to $200,000, telephones
were disconnected, delivery
of milk was stopped and
teachers were unpaid. Door-
to-door soliciting brought
little results.
Landau discovered t h e
school's problem by acci-
dent. While playing tennis,
he was approached by the
Yeshiva's principal, Rabbi
Sholem Bear Lipsker, as
part of the Lu bavitcher tef-
ilin campaign. Landau re-
fused, protesting he hadn't
laid tefilin since his Bar
Mitzva. Undaunted, Rabbi
Lipsker invited him to a
study group that met in his
home.
To the rabbi's surprise,
Landau appeared at the
study group. He has become
a regular participant over
the past several years, and
he and Rabbi Lipsker have
become close friends.
Landau's donation, which
came in two installments,
was intended to pay all debts
and to put up a new school
'building—on the ocean front.

it is impossible to say when
the trial will end, although a
provisional date has been set

One of the central ques-

the SS commander. From

Jews was planned.
The daily transportation of
Jews to Treblinka, and later
to other camps, began on

of thirst, hunger and heat on
