A new movement has
been inaugurated to trace
the whereabouts of Raoul
Wallenberg, one of the very
great war heroes who had
singlehandedly rescued
more than 50,000 Hunga-
rian Jews from the Nazi
crematoria.
Wallenberg, member of a
Swedish aristocratic family,
undertook rescue work at
the behest of the U.S. gov-
ernment. He made his
headquarters in Budapest,
acquired apartment houses
in which he accommodated
Jews who were about to be
sent to death camps and
proclaimed them Swedish
citizens.

Long after you have gone, forests in Israel
renewing themselves in the cycle of sea-

sons, will keep your memory ever green.
When making your Will, provide that a
forest in Israel be planted in your name or
in that of someone dear to you, handing
down your last wish from generation to
generation.

was arrested by the Rus-
sians who occupied Hun-
gary for reasons yet to be
established.
His 97-year-old mother,'
who lives in Stockholm, in-
sists, contrary to Russian
reports, that he is alive. A
Swedish doctor who was in
Russia several years ago
maintained he saw him
under torture in a Russian
mental hospital.
The movement to trace
the truth of the latter report
was inaugurated by Dr. and
Mrs. Thomas P. Lantos of
Hillsborough, Calif.

The Lantos have enlisted
the aid of a number of U.S.
Senators, including Thomas
McIntyre, Joseph Biden,
Jr., Claiborne Pell, Patrick
Leahy, Robert Stafford and
Abraham Ribicoff. The
Senators wrote a letter to
Soviet exiled dissident
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in
April, appealing for any
new information Solzhenit-
syn could bring on the case.

marriage if they so wished,
was performed last week by
Knesset-member Shulamit
Aloni of the Civil Rights
Party.
The names of the new-
lyweds were not disclosed to
avoid possible harassment.
Civil marriage is not recog-
nized in Israel where the
Orthodox rabbinate has ex-
clusive control of such fam-
ily matters. But the status
of the couple is nevertheless
legal under a regulation
that recognizes common law
marriage.
The marriage agree-
ment covers all material
aspects, including the
rights of children and
stipulates that the couple
can separate only if both
parties agree.
Aloni said that in the past
