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 League for Human Rights of 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. Israel has 900 printing plants. TEL AVIV (JTA) — The several components that make up the opposition Sheli faction have an- nounced that they will merge into a single party and have scheduled a con- vention for next September. Sheli MKs Uri Avneri and Meir Payil said the tim- ing of the decision reflected their belief that the Likud government is losing the of the public. Av- . support . nen predicted that many of the 200,000 voters who cast ballots for the Democratic Movement for Change (DMC) in the 1977 elections are disenchanted and will join Sheli.

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.

Cummings of Montreal has been elected chairman of the board of governors of Tel Aviv University, succeed- ing Dr. Raymond Sackler of New York who held the post for four years.
