THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
JERUSALEM — Its
monetary value is only
$650, but its real worth —
after wandering from one
woman's hand to another
over the past 150 years — is
much greater.

'a
94-year-old former head
nurse ofJerusalem's Shaare
Zedek Hospital, recently
handed over the diamond
ring after holding it for
safe - keeping for nine years.
It reached Schwester
Selma in 1969, when a'
tourist from Vienna
brought it to her after learn-
ing of the nurse's devotion
to the hospital since 1916.
The ring, composed of a
central, solitaire-cut, one
carat diamond surrounded
by baguettes, had belonged
to the tourist's sister, who
was deported and put to
death by the Nazis.
Before she was taken
away, she asked her sis-
ter to give the ring, a fam-
ily heirloom, "to a human
being who has never
married and has devoted
her life to helping other
people. The ring shall be
a wandering ring. The
person who gets it shall
pass it on in the same
way."

never married, last year
asked Jerusalem Mayor
Teddy Kollek to keep the
ring for her in the municipal
safe and search for a proper
heiress. Finally, after do-
zens of consulations and
having the city's legal ad-
viser draw up a contract, the
nurse agreed to the mayor's
choice.
The new "temporary"
owner is Mira Ettinger, a
Hebron-born school nurse.
She worked at the Hadas-
sah Hospital on Mt. Scopus
before 1948, and went to
Aden to treat Yemenite
children who arrived in Is-
rael during "Operation
Magic Carpet." She also
worked at Lod and Ramle
with immigrants who came
through Cyprus from war-
torn Europe.
With Mayor Kollek look-
ing on, Schwester Selma
carefully placed the ring on
the new care-taker's Et-
tinger's left ring finger and
said, "I am very satisfied."
Both women signed the con-
tract and drank a toast of
grapefruit juice to the wan-
dering ring.

Meanwhile, Amnesty
International has ex-
pressed concern for the
health of Solomon Ben-
Joseph, a Bulgarian Jew
sentenced to 12% years in
prison in 1974 for "es-
pionage."
Amnesty International
said there were many alle-
gations that Ben-Joseph
was arrested because of his
contacts with Jews outside
Bulgaria and his public
comments regarding the
1973 Middle East war.
The organization said
other Jewish government
officials in Bulgaria were
fired from their posts at the
same time. Ben-Joseph
headed the petrochemical
department of Bulgaria's
Ministry of Chemical In-
dustry.
Amnesty International
said Ben-Joseph was in sol-
itary confinement for 20
months in 1974-75 and is
now suffering a malig-
nancy, and pains in the ab-
domen and right arm.
The prison where he is
being held has one doctor
and one medical assistant
for 1,300 prisoners.
Maass Intercedes on Behalf
of Jailed Latin Jewish Editor
NEW YORK — Richard
Maass, president of the
American Jewish Commit-
tee, in a cable to Argentine
President Jorge Videla
urged the head of state to
see to it that the recent
Argentina Supreme Court
decision that in effect would
permit editor Jacobo
Timerman to . leave the
country be speedily im-
plemented.
In his cable Maass told
Gen. Videla that "I and all
true friends of Argentina"
would look to the gesture of
permitting Timerman to
leave Argentina "as an au-
spicious beginning for your
new term in the presi-
dency."
Maass explained that
he had just been in-
formed of the decision of
the Argentina Supreme
Court to agree to a
habeas corpus petition
submitted by Timer-
man's attorneys that in
effect frees Timerman
from the house arrest
that had been imposed
upon him three months
ago.
Timerman, editor of the
liberal daily La Opinion,
was arrested in April 1977
on suspicion of illegal
economic activities. He was
eventually cleared by a
military tribunal, but re-
mained in an army prison
for months under a special
administrative order while
his case was the subject of
wide concern both inside
and outside Argentina. He
was released from prison in
April but has been kept
under house arrest since.
