Attorney Fights
Monday Case

i

A Jewish attorney is try-
ing to have a scheduled case
in Plymouth District Court
postponed from being heard
n Yom Kippur.
Troy attorney Sandor
elman said he was -un-
aware Oct. 1 was Yom Kip-
pur when the case was
scheduled back in August.
After realizing his mistake,
Gelman asked the judge to
postpone the case.
Plymouth Judge Dunbar
Davis said Gelman should
assign the case to another
attorney and has refused, as
The Jewish News went to
press, to postpone the case.
The court has known about
the problem for a month.

judge after Gelman accused
him of anti-Semitism, but

the struggle to free
Timerman, said: "Argen-
tina's best known politi-
cal prisoner is free. This
is an historic moment."
He added, however, that
there are hundreds of other
Argentine citizens "un-
justly incarcerated, and we
will continue our efforts on
their behalf."
One glaring case, Ro-
senthal said, is that of
Jaime Lokman, detained
without charges since
March 24, 1976. "The
Argentine Embassy re-
cently informed the Anti-
Defamation League and the
press that Mr. Lokman has
been charged with certain
crimes when in fact he has
not," Rosenthal said.

release of Timerman by
Argentina's military gov-

after the Argentine Sup-
reme Court issued a ruling
that the military junta had
no legal grounds to continue
holding him.
With Mrs. Timerman at
the news conference were
her sons Hector and Javier.

"I have heard with deep satis-
faction of the Wonderful work
being performed by the Ameri-
can Red Magen David for Is-
rael.
This great human effort is. I
understand, to be crowned by
a new and important project
which your organization is
sponsoring, the construction
of an MDA National Blood Cen-
ter in Tel Aviv. This is, indeed,
an enterprise worthy of the
American Red Magen David
Adom in commemoration of Is-
rael's Thirty-first Anniversary
of independence.
Your endeavor is an expres-
sion of all that is noble and
good in our eternal Jewish heri-
tage."
Menachem Begin
Prime Minister

"He who saves one life is considered
to have saved the entire world."

"I was glad to learn that the
American Red Magen David for
Israel has embarked on a cam-
paign to raise funds for the
construction of a new Magen
David Adorn Israel National
Blood Center in Tel Aviv.
Throughout the years, in
peace no less than in war, the
MDA has played a vital role in
helping to meet Israel's emer-
gency health needs. The pro-
posed new Blood Center in Tel
Aviv will, when completed, re-
present a major contribution to
its life-giving work, and I
should like to offer my very
sincere thanks and apprecia-
tion to the body of volunteers
of the American Red Magen
David for Israel whose efforts
will ensure that this very impor-
tant and urgent project is
brought to fruition."
