NEW YORK — One of his
favorite clients — the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union —
honored attorney Osmond K.
Fraenkel on the occasion of
his 85th birthday Dec. 7 at
the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Fraenkel has served the
ACLU and the New York
Civil Liberties Union as gen-
eral counsel for 36 years.
Other clients have included
Bertrand Russell, Frank Cos-
tello and even Henry Ford—
in short, anyone whose rights,
Fraenkel felt, had to be de-
fended.
He has argued that the pro-
tection of free speech be-
longs even to Nazis, Commu-
nists and Ford, "whose right
to address his workers was
once advanced in court by
Mr. Fraenkel," according to
the New York Times. In 1924,
he wrote a book about the
Sacco-Vanzetti case. He has
appeared before the Supreme
Court 26 times.
In one appearance, he for-
mally introduced another
lawyer for practice there. It
was his daughter, Nancy
Wechsler, wife of James
Wechsler, editorial page edi-
tor of the New York Post.
Fraenkel and his wife
Helene, a playwright, have
two other children, Carol
Lipkin, professor of educa-
tion at City College, and
George, dean of the graduate
faculties at Columbia Uni-
versity.

dish play "The Dybbuk."
The debut, delayed by the

will take place in the spring,
starring Patricia McBride.

Big Baby Delivered at Sinai
Drs. Harold Perry, left, and Joseph Mantel, stand next
to the controls of Sinai Hospital's new 16,000,000-electron-
volt linear accelerator which can bombard tumors with
high-energy electron or X-ray beams. The special feature of
the accelerator, which has gone into service at Sinai, is
that it can change the size and shape of the beam hitting
the tumor, and it can change the quantity of radiation
emitted. The facilities are available to any patient who
is referred by a physician, and to medically indigent
patients who are being treated at Sinai's Shiffman Clinic.
Perry is director of radiation therapy and Mantel a radio-
logical physicist who worked with the Japanese manufac-
turers of the equipment.
Ceausescu Tells Jewish Leaders
Romanian Jews Free to Emigrate
NEW YORK (JTA)—Presi-
dent Nicolae Ceausescu of
Romania told a Jewish dele-
gation here that although
Jews who wish to emigrate
would continue to have their
applications for exit visas
granted, he hoped the 50,000
to 60,000 Jews still in Ro-
mania would elect to stay
and participate in the build-
ing of a strong social and
economic system.
The 40-minute interview,
believed to be the first of its
kind between American Jew-
ish leaders and the head of
a Communist European coun-
try on a visit to the U. S.,
was marked by cordiality
and frankness, according to
the delegation.
The delegation consisted of
Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg,
Rabbi Joseph Karasick, Max
Melamed and Jacob Stein.
Ceausescu emphasized that
Romania's treatment of its
Jewish community, which
the delegation praised, was
in accordance with its consti-
tution and its policy toward
all religious minorities.

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Conditions created by the
Yom Kippur War have led
to a longer-than-expected
term of military service for
most reservists, who normal-
ly would be back at their
civilian pursuits.
To alleviate the situation,
the government is speeding
up the return of Israelis
abroad.
Informed sources say that
there are tens of thousands
of Israelis in foreign coun-
tries, including many train-
ed military personnel and
officers who are badly need-
ed at home. Transportation
costs are to be borne by the
government.
Expressing regret that
some senators had linked his
country's request for most
favored nation status to its
immigration policies, he com-
mented that the presence in
Israel of some 400,000 Ro-
manian. Jews testified to the
freedom of emigration ex-
tended to "Romanian citizens
of Jewish origin."
Ceausescu several times
asked that American Jewish
leaders assist Romania's ef-
forts to expand its trade with
the United States.
Libya Hijacker
Held in Israel
Mental Hospital
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Moua-
hammed Atoumi, a Libyan
national who hijacked a Lib-
yan airliner to Israel last
Aug. 16 as a gesture of his
"friendship for Jews," was
sentenced to an indetermi-
nate period in a mental hos-
pital Tuesday.
Tel Aviv District Court
Judge Max Kenneth pro-
nounced sentence of tre hear-
ing the case presented by
District Attorney Victoria
Ostrowsky Cohen and De-
fense Council Itzhak Aderet.
The judge ruled that Atou-
mi acted under impulses he
could not control and that
while he was aware of the
act he was committing, he
was not in legal terms re-
sponsible for his actions.
The judge based his ruling
on a psychiatric report by
Prof. A. Winnik, who said
Atoumi was mentally ill and
could commit further uncon-
trollable acts unless con-
fined.
Under Israeli law, the
length of confinement is de-
termined by the minister of
justice. It is believed Atoumi
will be held here until means
are found to deport him.
