DUSSELDORF (JTA)—Dr.

a prominent lawyer and sec-
retary of the Central Council
of Jews in Germany, died
March 29 at the age of 66.

ing from a heart ailment.
Messages of condolence
have been received by his
family from President Gus-
tav Heinemann, Chancellor
Willy Brandt, Bundestag
President Annemarie Uren-
ger and other government

Dr. Van Dam, who was
born in Berlin, the son of an
antiquarian in the court of
Emperor Wilhelm II, studied
law at Heidelberg and Berlin.
The Nazi era cut short his
career in Germany and he

administration in Oldenburg.
Dr. Van Dam was an expert

ciliation between Jews and
Germans and normalizing re-
lations between West Ger-
many and Israel. He was the

Vandals Damage
Paris ORT Office
PARIS (JTA) — The ORT
office in Paris was broken
into and anti-Semitic slogans
scrawled on the walls by un-
known persons who cracked
the safe and either stole or
burned its contents.
Police investigators are try-
ing to determine whether the
break-in was the work of pro-
fessional criminals or anti-
Semitic vandals.
The ORT director for
France, Elie Schieber, told
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the thieves stole
money in the safe and burned
checks.
A small fire broke out but
was extinguished within min-
utes by firemen and police.
Anti-Semitic slogans cov-
ered the office walls and
swastikas were scrawled on
tables, desks and the pictures
on the walls.
Schieber said tha
threats had been received
and no special precautions
had been taken.
