NEW YORK,— At a spe-
cial meeting held in New
York recently, wives of
member rabbis of the Rab-
binical Alliance of America
adopted a strong stand
against the Equal Rights
Amendment. _
Speaking for the assem-
bled women, Mrs. Samuel
Turk, wife- of Rabbi Samuel
Turk, past president of the
Rabbinical Alliance, said,
"Orthodox Jewish women
view the Equal Rights
Amendment legislation as a
threat to our homes,
families, children and to our
time-tested way of life and
sense of Jewish morality."
Mrs. Turk . expressed the
group's concern that if the
ERA amendment becomes
law, the federal governnient
will be empowered to inter-
fere in the traditional Or-
thodox Jewish practice of
separating the sexes in reli-
gious schools, synagogues
and other aspects of Jewish
life. -
The rabbis' wives said
they fear that the
amendment may lead to
things like mixed public
rest rooms, and that reli-
gious girls will be com-
pelled to serve in the
American army if the
draft is re-instated.
Mrs. Turk urged all
Jewish women to oppose the
ERA.
Meanwhile, in Chicago,
14 Jewish organizations
have joined together to form
a coalition of Jewish organ-
izations to work for the pas-

Surgery Patients
Aided by Device
JERUSALEM — An
Israeli-developed, pain-
easing electric stimulator
has been judged-effective in
providing relief following
open heart surgery.
Resedfch compfeted re-
cently by a medical team at
the Hadassali- Hospital in
Jerusalem is said to prove
the effectiveness of the de-
vice, called Neurogar, in the
first 10 days following open
heart surgery. The results
of this research was pre-
sented to the recent Inter-
national Congress of Pain
Medicine and Anesthesia at
Graetz, Austria.
.
In the study. 65 percent of
the patients are reported to
have responded satisfactor-
ily to treatment with
Neurogar, and their con-
sumption of tranquilizing
medications decreased by
more than two-thirds. An-
other 30 percent of the
patients also reacted pos-
itively, but their demand for
pain killing drugs was re-
duced by one :third.

The research is be-
lieved to be the first of its
type conducted in a
major medical center
with transcutaneous
pain relieving instru-
ments (TES) following
open heart surgery. Its
results are considered
vital to hospital chest
surgery departments, in
view of the importance of
the post operation
recovery-to-drugs ratio,
During recuperation from
heart surgery,_ the study
notes, the patient consumes
large quantities of
analgesic drugs which
cause difficulties in brea-
thing, among other prob
lems, and delays recovery.
There are instances - in
which doctors prefer to re-
duce the amount of drugs
despite the patient's pain
and discomfort in order to
clear the breathing system.
On the other hand, the
patient must conduct brea-
thing and even coughing
exercises, which causes
almost unbearable pain and
concern to the patient, but
assists in the healing proc-
ess.
Neurogar, according to
this study, reduced the pain
and permits essential brea-
thing excercises without re-
course to drugs.
