West Germany reaffirmed this week—in a public statement and in a private meeting with a B'nai B'ritli delegation — Hint there was a "special German position" with regard to the Jewish people and Israel that would remain as long a.s he continued to be Chancellor, Dr. Erhard met the American press at the National Press Club in Washington. One: of the questions recalled his statement Lift May to Prime Minister Le'vi Eshkol about the special German position and asked how this position had been reflected in German-Israel relations. The Chancellor replied that one could now state that relations had" been consolidated and tlie problem of Israel settled on an inter-governmental level. He said he had undertaken "great efforts" to establish diplomatic relatioas and he was happy to have been able to take tin? appropriate steps at the decisive hour. He expressed hope ihnt the remaining questions—"modest and insignificant" when compared with past questions-could be solved on a mutually agreeable ba^is. Nazi Victims Compensation I s s u e : The

B'nai B'ritli delegation was also concerned with the failure of West Germany to conclude promised economic agreements with Israel but its major concern was ovur l.lif decision of the West German Government to defer the payments of $50 million a year to the victims of Nazism who filed compensation claims after the cutoff date of Oct. 105:) at least through lf)flG and ]'M7, About 150,000 Jews are included in tlii.', group of Nazi victims, The delegation told Dr. Erlinrd that "your Government's failure to recognize the compelling nature of indemnification payments has rocked the c o n f i d e n c e of the entire J e w i s li world. It has created new uncertainty about German intentions." Dr. Brliard, it was learned, assured the delegation that as long as he remained Chancellor, a "special" German position toward the Jews and Israel would continue. He told the delegation that hardship cases, including elderly persons, would receive special consideration and he promised a detailed, public statement at a later date in response to Uie specific points raised by the delegation. * .

Without the Nntional Religious Party and the I'oalei Agudat Israel, which were part of the outgoing coalition, Mr. . E s h k o 1 could form only a very narrow coalition comprising, in addition to the aiigiunent, the Independent Liberals, Mapam and the Mapai-affiliated Arab lists. This coalition would have only a slim majority m the current Knesset. The Mapai Secretariat authorized Mr. Eshkol to go ahead with a new coalition without the religious parties if the latter continue to insist on conditions unacceptable', to the Premier. The Secretariat also urged the Premier to present a new Government next week.

A leadiiifj American rabbi, Dr. Arthur Hertzberg, of T e m p l e Emanu-El, of Englewood, New Jersey, bciicves that the American rabbi, as we know him today, is on the way out, that his religious function is "becoming ever more vestigial." Ho says that like the priests in ancient Israel, who were succeeded by the rabbinate, today's rabbis will be replaced as were the earlier priesthood. The well known a u t h o r, a mnniher of the fcciilty si Colurr. bia University, believes that the rabbi, ilke his Christian Brethren, is steadily losing influence and becoming loss and less of a factor in the life of the American community.

under the chairmanship of Or. Emanuel Neumann. toss Powerful Rabbi Hertzberg described the rabbi of today as higher salaried and Ies3 powerful than his predecessor of a generation ago. He is "no longer the only learned man in his congregation" and is less scholarly than his predecessor. He is less a religious leader and more an administrator and a pastoral psychiatrist. As the "institutional executive" of s largo organization, the rabbi of today, says Rabbi Hertzberg, is less a personality and more a bureaucrat. He is less a crusader and is much mm-B "Rate." Because "Jews will not come to synagogues in great numbers to pray," the rabbi has become a book reviewer, an entertainer, a commentator on cultural and political life. Less Leadership "All of these," said R a b b i Hertzberg, "are now much of the business oi Jewish life, not because the rabbis really care about any of them, and not, as some of their critics have been maintaining, because the American rabbis have become vulgar. The rabbinate today is, essentially, neither judge nor leader. It is the agent of a remaining powerful and pervasive emotion about Jewish togetherness. The purely religious function of the rabbi has been becoming evermore vestigal for decades. Indeed, it is as far now from the center of J e w i s h , mass consciousness . as were the ritual . function of the priesthood of old. The rabbi's more contemporary role as leader of the Jews in a hostile world, or as moral guide to their political action, is constantly diminishing. He has become peripheral to the major social struggles of this age, No Trailblazers "The rabbinate thrived for many centuries by offering Jews a vision of themselves as the servants of God. It then carried on, for a relatively short time, by holding up the dream of the Jew as servants of their own quest for freedom and, there-

fore, as trailblazers for all the oppressed. The Jewish community within which the rabbis aiu working today sees itself, for the most part, as the servant of its own survival. There are no great, individual rabbinic careers, b e c a u s e there are no shared Jewish purposes on the American scene grand enough to evoke them. "And I see no sign of such, purposes on the horizon." Bigness Ihe present c r i s i s in the hearts and souls of American rabbis, Rabbi Hertzberg contends, is caused by the bigness and the success of the synagogue, the depersonalization of the individual r a b b i , and tho strengthening of the central tabfinical bodies of the v a r i o u s Jewish religious denominations. Rabbi Hertzberg believes that there are no1 truly great national rabbis today, "men like Solomon Goldman in Chicago, Abba Hillel Silver in Cleveland, and Israel Goldstein and Stephen Wise in New York." These men, he said, were bigger than their individual synagogues; they exercised "what was essentially political leadership in the Jewish community and on its b e h a l f in American politics and in international Jewish affairs. They played a major role, in UIP development of Zionist sentiment in the United States, and in paving the way for the establishment of the State of Israel, and its recognition by the U. S." "The American rabbi of today is quite clearly a different phenomenon. There exist t o d a y many individual congregations as large as or larger than the congregations headed by Wise and Silver. Nonetheless, no comparably renowned r a b b i n i c names have emerged. There is hardly one rabbinic figure today who commands the attention of the entire Jewish community. Purpose ^ "The essence of the problem that confronts the American rabbi today, much more sharply than it was ever faced by his (Continued on Page 8)

United Nations, N. Y. UTA)— A far-reaching instrument to guarantee to people everywhere, including the Soviet Union, fullest enjoyment of all human rights was approved this week without .Uibaeut by a plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly. The International Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Racial Intolerance defines racial discrimination as applying to all persons, or groups, of any race, color, descent or-national or ethnic origin. Rights Among other rights, the document refers specifically to the right to education and training; the right to equal participation in cultural activities; the right of an individual to leave his country or return to it; the right of any individual or group to file a petition with a special 180 member UN committee, complaining of violation of his or its rights by the country of residence; protection of an individ-

Germany Trie! for Kiel (JTA)—Former SS Lt. Col. Martin Fellenz went on trial here for thfi^ second linw on charges involving the wartime slaughter of 40,000 Jews in the Cracow area, in occupied Poland, in 1942. The 56-year-old businessman was first tried on the Cracow charges in 19G2 in Flcnsburg. He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment on conviction of aiding in two of the murders. He v/as released shortly afterward because the court had or<lered deduction of his pretriai detention from his term. The Flonshurg prosecutor's office ordered his rearrest, and and the Federal High court ordered the retrial. Meanwhile, new charges have been made against Fellenz, one of them involving the charge that he was connected with the murder of 7,000 other victims. The former SS officer has denied all of the accusations, asserting that the police chief of the entire Cracow region was responsible for the deportations of the 40,000 Jews to death camps. However, State Prosecutor Ulrich Plath argued in his presentation to the court here that responsibility for such actions was delegated to SS police chiefs of locaj districts. He asserted that this procedure had been proven by witnesses and documents.

Ratification The convention would also order all slmtrs ratifying the draft to ban formations of practices by organizations based on theories of racial or ethnic superiority and to punish such practitioners of racism. The draft also would bar the state itself from engaging in such practices. It also would prohibit racist propoganda and incitement to racial discrimination. The vote was 10G for and none ngjiinst. Mrxir.0 abstained because of domestic parliamentary requirements. The pact takes effect 30 days after ratification by 27 states. Ratifying slates can include West Germany, which is a member of affiliated UN agencies. Russian Jewry While a draft to ban religious intolerance is still pending, it was noted that the draft the convention 2oriroveti this iwi**k protects many groups, like Russian Jews, from many discriminations because it covers all ethnic and national groups. Jews are considered a national group in Soviet Russia and as an ethnic one by many experts and delegations at the UN. The clause providing for the right of an individual to complain against his own govern• ments. was regarded by many UN observers, including those of world Jewish groups, as of great significance.

. New York, fJTA)—A call urging the rabbis, educators and lay leaders of the Consorvstivc movement to fully support the growth of Conservative day schools was issued here at the North American Conference on Day School Education, sponsored by the United Synagogue Commission on Jewish Education. The religious and educational leaders attending the two-day conference, at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, noted that, in the past decade, 23 Conservative day schols have been established in the United States and Canada. Dr. Louis Finkelstein, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America opened the conference; The evening session was addressed by Dr. Sim-

eminent and the Arab League. Nor, the rep»i t continues, have Jewish community properties in Egypt been affected in recent year;;. iiuity Scrvkrs The Alexandria community continues to own a p a r t m e n t buildings and other real estate. It maintains a Jewish old-age home with 50 places that are generally filled; a refuge with ;i0 rooms for those without the means to rent lodgings; and title is retained to modern school buildings, built originn'iy 'o accommodate 2.000 .students, as well as to s y n a g o g u e s and grounds. The number of synagogues is too large for the size of the Jewish community but daily services are held in them, in rotation, so that no question of abandonment should arise. Only :i7 Jewish children attend school in the buildings, along with COO Moslem children, with leathers and a director furnished by the Ministry of Education, with only one Jewish religious teacher in attendance. Pressures "The pressure on Jews is as individuals," the AJC r e p o r t points out. In addition to expulsion, other harassments exist: government bodies and many nationalized industries w i 11 not hire Jews while private employers are afraid to; Jewish businessmen live in constant fear that their businesses will be sequestered; "businessmen having to deal with the authorities must use an Arab intermediary. The older Jews, the report continues, seem to wish to live out their lives in the land and surroundings to which they are accustomed. The feeling among Jewish youth is that there is no future for them in Egypt. They can be expected to leave the report states.

general said that, while he could not disclose publicly how Israel hopes to achieve superiority, "all I can say is that many vast efforts are being made. We are not content wilh leaving the balance as it is, but we intend to improve it further to our advantage." The problems involved, Gen. Rabin declared, are no longer political but fiscal. ''If I had to single out outstanding issues of recent past and the predictable future," he said, "I would pick four subjects. The first involves the water struggle in which Israel appears to have retained the upper hand; the second concerns developments in interArab relations, s h o w i n g the clearcut decline of Nasser's influence; the third issue involves the renewed and intensified armament drive of the Arab countries; and the fourth is the new wave of Palestinian nationalism — the outcome of frustrated hopes and disappointments."

'Orancse War1 Won by Israel Brussels, fJTA>~The Execil: ttve Commission of the Kuropean Common Market proposed this week a reduction in the minimum p r i c e of imported oranges which will ease a crippling throat to Israeli citrus sales in the six Euromart countries. At the insistence of Italy, the only Euromart country sdlin;; citrus fruit to other Euromart countries, a reference price system was set up which would have boosted retail prices substantially on citrus fruits imported from Israel, Spain nnd Morocco. Israel ami the other two non-member countries had protested the plan strnnijly The commission's proposal goes to the Kurtmiart Council of Ministers, the key decisionmaking body of the sixnation trade bloc, which is expected to approve it. The proposed reduction would guarantee orange producers a minimum return of $15.50 for each 100 kilns CMJi pounds) of oranges, even if the wholesale market price went lower, with the trade bloc itself paying the difference. The $15.50 figure had been set by the Executive Commission as the minimum entry price for ' sweet oranges o( the type exported by I s r a e l . Oranses shipped from the non-market countries for less than $15.50 would have been subjected to a tariff to bring the price up to the $15.50 level, which in turn wnuW have boosted retail prices to Italy's advantage. Under the new p r o p o s a l , the wholesale prices could drop as low as $11.10. The decision was received with considerable satisfaction in Israel where the change was credited to a large extent to the coordination of Israeli protests with two countries with which it does not have diplornatic r e l a t i o n s — S p a i n and Morocco.

Rabbi Miller said the Orthodox mood was rhnnginfj in this country from "belifierent negativism" to a "cautious optimism" about Jewish survival. Rabbi Weinstein said that the remedy for ineffectual Jewish education should not be sought in "crash programs," day schools of missionizin;; among r,r>n Jews but in mobilizing the Jev.ish community for "a long and expensive battle." R a b b i Jay Kaufman, B'nai B'rith executive vice-president, stressed to the three rabbinical leaders the need for congregational bodies to recognize the Hillel movement as the representative of college students.

Jewish Groups Reject Design For Nazi Victims Monumenf New York CJTA>—A plan by the New York City Art Commission to have a monument erected in a city square in memory of the 6,000,000 Jewish martyr;; of Nazism is opposed by a steering committee of .'(4 Jewish organizations, a spokesman for the committee announced here today. The Art Commission approved the project, calling for the erection of a 30-fooc high sinb of granite ur marble in a small park lacing Lincoln Center, a complex of mid-city structures devoted to the arts. The face of (he slab would depict n sculpture showing Cain killing Abel, and would quote the story of that murder as told in the Book of Genesis. Under the Biblical quotation, there would be a dedication "in memoriam to the six million martyred Jews of Europe. 193319I5." According to the spokesman for the steering committee, that body considered the design now approved by the Art Commission, and rejected it a month ago. Instead of the proposed monument and the Lincoln Center site, the committee prefers the erection in Hive-rside Park of p o t h e r , more dramatic moniimmi, which the Art Commission rejected a year ago. "Too Tragic" The project approved by the Commission calls for a memorial to cost $250,000, to be met by the Committee for the Six Million Jews. The Commission last winter rejected two proposals by Jc.vinh group sponsors, both proposed for sites in Riverside park. In rejecting both plans, the Commission said they were

"too tragic" and that parka should he for relaxation "and not for commemoration ol massacres." A flood of telegrams and letters poured into Mayor Robert Wagner's office, asking him to reverse the decision which technically he onnnot do. He urged the Jewish groups to work out a compromise with the Parks Department and the Art Commission. Expressing " a m a z e ment" over the Art Commission'.*) approval of a memorial project without the consent ol organized Jewry in this city, the steering committee planned today to form a broad committee which would conduct an art contest for a monument that wculd be acceptable both the to the city and the Jewish community.

long before his death Einstein lost touch with the profession of physics. "Things had been learned, but they h i d come too late in his We." he said. Dr. Oppenheimer, director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, devoted his address to Hie last year of Einstein's life, when, he said, "we were close colleagues and something of friends." The physicist spoke at the opening session of an international symposium marking the 10th anniversary of Einstein's death and the 50th of his General Theory of Relativity. The three-day symposium is sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization at its headquarters. Errors "Einstein's early work was paralyzingly beautiful," Dr. Oppenheimcr said, "but full of errors." Correcting the errors has delayed the publication of Einstein's collected works ior 10 years, Dr. Oppenheimer said. He added: "A man whose errors take 10 years to correct is quite a man." In the scientific community, Dr. Oppenheimer said, Einstein founded no ''school" and did not have many students as apprentices or disciples. Those who worked with him, r-e noted, were significantly called "assistants."' Atomic ISomb Dr. Oppenheimer said Ihe

He noted that "characteristically, Israel did not husband her good fortune to herself. Limited in her financial resources, she could not give much in material aid to other developing countries. Instead, she put her technologists to work in over 50 countries, an effort second in scope only (o that of the United States."

common assumption that Einstein played a vital role in the development of the a t o m i c bomb, with which he himself was c l o s e l y connected, was "not, in my opinion, true." Even the letter to President Koosevcli early in the year, in which Einstein and other scientists sought to make the President aware of the military potential of splitting the atom, was not important, he said. "The letter had practically no effect whatsoever," he declared. According to some historical accounts, President Roosevelt was said to have exclaimed "this requires action!" upon reading the Einstein letter, thus beginning the project for the first atomic bomb.

The Great Debate in Amcrican J e w i s h community life rages on. It takes different forms, but always resolves itself into one basic fear—the loss of Jewish identity, not by liquidation but by merger into a great American society which may only recognize pluralism as an historic fact. To some young American Jews who have demonstrated their commitment to the continuity of things Jewish, the Great Debate seems more an admonition from an older generation than a beacon to light the future.
