He said that the Zionist Federations in the vari- ous countries must be- come more active in aliya and not leave it exclu- sively to emissaries from Israel. Almogi made his re- marks during a two-hour meeting of the joint coor- dinating committee of the government and Jewish Agency headed by Pre- mier Yitzhak Rabin. The meeting was attended by most Cabinet ministers and members of the WZO Executive. Almogi reported at length on his recent visit to Latin America. He re- ported that after an in- vestigation of the ac- tivities of Zionist emis- saries in Argentina, Zionist activities were not banned in that coun- try. He was referring to the release of five WZO emissaries and three local employes of the WZO who were arrested in Argentina July 22 and re- leased Aug. 4.

However, Almogi ex- pressed serious concern over what he described as open anti-Semitism in Argentina, noting that one could buy Nazi publica- tions in any book shop. He described the situation of Jews in South America generally, observing that unstable conditions in var- ious countries abroad did not guarantee a rise in the number of immigrants coming to Israel. Almogi said the present system of sending shlikhim from Israel to promote aliya had not proven successful. He said that on his coming visits to the U.S. and South Africa he would meet with the heads of Zionist federations to dis- cuss means of increasing their involvement in aliya. Rabin said he would like to see more govern- ment ministers involved in aliya. Menahem Sher- man, director general of the-Absorption Ministry and Uzi Narkiss, head of the Jewish Agency's aliya department, were in- structed at the meeting to prepare background material for a future meeting of the coordinat- ing body that would sum up the discussion of aliya. ONE MILE SOUTH OF PONTIAC STADIUM honored Soviet dissident Vitaly Rubin at a special reception celebrating his successful struggle for freedom. The 52-year-old scho- lar, an authority on an- cient Chinese philosophy, was welcomed by Colum- bia President William J. McGill, and others at Col- umbia who fought long to obtain his release from the Soviet Union. Soviet officials granted him an exit visa in June to emig- rate to Israel after four years of harassment, imprisonment and scho- larly rejection. The event also celeb- rated the publication by the Columbia University Press of an English trans- lation of Rubin's book, "Individual and State in Ancient China." The volume, first pub- lished in the Soviet Union in 1970, was attacked and suppressed by Soviet au- thorities because, con- trary to official Russian ideology, it was critical of totalitarian tendencies in early China and treated the humanist philosophy- of Confucius sympatheti- cally. Following the event Rubin returned to Israel to take up a teaching post at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Hope- fully they will have chil- dren. If they do, a trust could be set up for them and their children. , Editor's Note: Guidance on important problems provided by Jewish Wel- fare Federation-United Jewish Charities Endow- ment Fund Tax Advisory Committee.

(This is the second column in a series dealing with women's needs for wills. For copies of the first article, call C. Kenneth Sarason at the Federation office, 965- 3939.) A married woman with small children needs a will to make sure her husband will have access to her part of the family property in raising the children if he outlives her. If there is no will, the state law divides her - property between her husband and the chil- dren. If the children are minors, a guardian would have to be appointed. Under most cir- cumstances the court would no doubt appoint the husband as guardian. However, he would have to report to the court. The desirable plan may be to have everything go to the husband as sole heir. That's easily ac- complished with a will. And the possibility of simultaneous death of both husband and wife in a common disaster is . another reason that a mar- ried woman needs a will. If she owns property either in her name or jointly with her husband, her estate may incur some probate expenses and substantial federal estate and state inheri- tance taxes. A properly- drawn will may reduce or eliminate some of these costs. It will also insure that the estate gets full advantage of the marital deduction which allows a spouse, to pass up to 50 percent of the adjusted gross estate to the surviv- ing spouse free of federal tax. Owning everything jointly is not an adequate substitute for a will. Joint ownership can help cut estate settlement costs in some instances. However it has good and bad fea- tures, a subject we will discuss in a future col- umn. If there is no will, the state has already decided who the heirs will be. But a will which leaves assets to your children, grandchil- dren, and family can also do other things, such as remember a devoted friend or neighbor. A memorial to mother, father, sister, brother, or children, can also be set up by a will. It's a triple tribute — to the one memorialized, to the worthy cause benefited and to the donor. When a memorial is provided for in a will, it is funded with money or property no longer needed for the care of the owner. A person helps many causes during his lifetime. A provision for continued gifts when the donor dies serves as a liv- ing testimonial to the donor. If other obliga- tions come first, one can always name the charity of your choice as a re- sidual or final be- neficiary. Even a modest estate can cost in probate ex- penses and federal estate and state inheritance taxes many times the at- torney's small fee for writ- ing a will. Persons with questions may contact C.

Seminar in Israel JERUSALEM — Ten years of Israeli adminis- tration in Judea and Samaria, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights, will come under the scrutiny of scholars at a seminar to be held in June 1977 by the Harry S. Tru- man Research Institute at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Political, economic and social change in the ter- ritories since June 1967 will be discussed, with a special session devoted to problems of integration in Jerusalem in the ten years since its unifica- tion. The seminar aims to present, through sum- maries of research and practical experience, the changes that occurred in Jerusalem and the oc- cupied areas as a result of the encounter with Israel since 1967 compared to the previous period. The Truman Institute is preparing a basic bibliography on Jerusalem and the ter- ritories, to be available to the participants in the coming academic year and to be completed by June 1977.
