DR. LEON FRAM
Dr. John Mames, chair-
man of the Michigan Magen
David Adorn chapter, an-
nouncing the selectee for
the year's honors, stated
that recognition of his serv-
ices to Israel and the Jewish
community will be accorded
at the annual dinner to be
held 6:30 p.m. Sept. 11 at
Adat Shalom Synagogue.
Born in Lithuania, Rabbi
Fram came to the U.S. in
1900. He was ordained at
the Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of
Religion and earned a mas-
ter's degree from the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati. He re-
ceived an honorary Doctor
of Divinity Degree from
HUC-JIR in 1954.
He accepted his first
pulpit in Chicago — a
pioneering congregation
in that it was the lone Re-
form synagogue in an
area of 10,000 predomin-
antly Orthodox Jews.
He became the assistant
to the late Rabbi Leo M.
Franklin at Temple Beth El
in 1925. He served Temple
Beth El for 15 years.
Resigning from Beth El
over a conflict with Rabbi
Franklin, Rabbi Fram, with
the backing of 30 families,
formed Temple Israel in
1941.
The temple elected him
rabbi for life in 1954 and
named the social hall of
Temple Israel in his honor.
Rabbi Fram has held
membership in the Joint
Commission on Jewish
Education of the Union of
American Hebrew Con-
gregations and the Cen-
tral Conference of
American Rabbis. He
also was chairman of its
editorial committee.
He was the founder of the

Soviets May Veto Sheli Factions
UNEF Extension Form One Party
UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — The mandate of the
United Nations Emergency
Force (UNEF) in the Sinai,
serving as a buffer between
Israli and Egyptian forces,
will not be renewed as a re-
sult of Soviet opposition,
diplomatic sources at the
United Nations said. The
mandate of the seven-
nation force expires July 24.
According to the sources,
the Soviets made it clear to
the Americans and other
members of the Security
Council that they will op-
pose the new deployment of
UNEF troops as called for
by the peace treaty signed
between Egypt and Israel
with the aid of the United
States.
According to the agree-
ment, the UN peace force
would continue to serve as a
"buffer, but over a much
larger area as Israel with-
draws its troops from the
Sinai over the next three
years.
Two alternatives to re-
place UNEF are pre-
sently being discussed.
One calls for the estab-
lishment of a new multi-
national force, as prom-
ised by the U.S. when the
peace agreement was
concluded in the event
that UNEF is vetoed by
the Russians.
The other would keep the
UN observers force in Sinai
as a replacement for UNEF.
That alternative is expected
to be rejected by Egypt
which opposes the Soviet
observers on the force.

plants.
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The

Sheli faction have an-
nounced that they will

ing of the decision reflected
their belief that the Likud
government is losing the
of the public. Av-

Temporary Price Freeze
Approved by Israel Cabinet
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Cabinet voted to
temporarily freeze the
prices of basic commodities,
a move demanded by Pre-
mier Menahem Begin to
"cool the economy," but
gave no indication how long
it would last.
Only last week the freeze
was vehemently opposed by
most ministers, including
Finance Minister Simha
Ehrlich, because it implied
an increase in price support
subsidies which the Israel
Treasury can ill-afford.
Economic observers said
the freeze represented a
compromise. The freeze will
last for an undisclosed
period of time, but eventu-
ally will be replaced by a
comprehensive new policy
that will do away with sub-
sidies of food and other
basics. That would mean
the doubling of the price of
such items as bread and fuel
oil.
The government's long
range plan is to compen-
sate low-income people
and large families
through national insur-
ance and child benefit
payments. This is in line
with Likud's fundamen-
tal economic philosophy
which is that the needy
consumer rather than the
commodity itself should
be subsidized.
Meanwhile, Erhlich has
flatly denied media reports
that he had offered to resign
because of the deteriorating
economy and his differences
with Begin over the price
freeze.
Minister of Commerce
and Industry Gideon Patt
signed an order obliging the
manufacturers of a long list.
of goods to give 30 day's
notice of any intention to
raise prices. Such plans
could be blocked by the gov-
ernment and the manufac-
tuers forced to adhere to a
price ceiling.
Court Revokes Federenko Citizenship,
Investigators See Move As 'Strengthening'
ALBANY, N.Y. (JTA) —
Walter J. Rockier, head of
the newly-reorganized fed-
eral special unit responsible
for Nazi war criminal inves-
tigations, said that a New
Orleans federal appeals
court ruling against Feodor
Federenko would "tend to
strengthen the position of
the office of special investi-
gation."
The special investigation
unit is in the criminal di-
vision of the U.S. Justice
Department.
The Fifth Circuit Court of
Appeals in New Orleans re-
versed the decision by U.S.
District Judge Norman C.
Roettger, Jr., in Fort
Lauderdale, Fla., that had
held that Federenko, a one-
time guard at the Treblinka
death camp, could retain his
U.S. citizenship.
In a 3-0 ruling, the appe-
als court instructed Judge
Roettger to revoke the citi-
zenship of Federenko be-
cause he had lied about
serving as a Treblinka
guard when he entered the
United States in 1949.
Federenko told immi-
gration authorities then
that he had been a farmer
and a factory worker
during World War II.
Judge Roettger. had
ruled that Federenko's
lie had not been serious
enough to justify revok-
ing his citizenship.
The appeals court held
that by concealing his Nazi
past, Federenko prevented
the government from con-
ducting an investigation at
the time of his entry. Such
an investigation might
have produced evidence
that would have warranted
denial of his entry or grant-
ing of citizenship.
The appeals court in-
structed Judge Roettger to
"cancel the certificate of
naturalization issued to the
defendant" in 1970. The de-
naturalization order, which
can be appealed to the Sup-
reme Court, will
presumably be followed by
deportation proceedings to
return Federenko to his na-
tive Ukraine.
