Now that Israel's great writer, S. J. Agnon, has won the Nobel Prize for literature, the name of Agnon has been declared "out of bounds" for novelists, poets, journalists and the like. The authorities can not issue a blanket ban against taking that name, but they can object to its assumption by anyone who might pass himself off as "Agnon, the writer," on the grounds that this would mislead the public. Common-law Wife Israel's High Court recently dealt with a name case. When a Mr. Rosenheim died it was revealed that the woman living with him for many years as his wife was not in fact married to him, though she had always been known as Mrs. Rosenheim. The law gave her all the pecuniary and material rights of a common-law wife, but the Court held that she could not now legally take the name of Rosenheim even though she has borne it for years. The judges maintained that to permit her to do EO would mislead people into • thinking she had been married to the deceased. This misconception could cause harm to, or affect the rights of others, It

handy with guns. There were, of course, many brawls. On one occasion, in the 1830s' an aroused Russian congregation is supposed to have beaten an informer to death. Whatever assassinations took place occurred outside the synagogue so far as I know." Dr. Jacob R. Marcus, director of the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, informed us he "did not know of any attempt on the part of a Jew 'to assassinate another in the synagogue. I do, however, know of two1 incidents involving shootings.' One of these incidents is culled from the Minute Book— 1IM5-18G0—of Congregation Bene Israel, Cincinnati, now Rockdale Avenue Temple. It contains an account of a charge leveled against a member, S. R. iiiesenthal, bv another member, I. Maricnthaf, that he had hired an Irishman for $50 to take his life. By a vote of !) to I, Biesentlml was declared guilty, at a meeting of the synagogue's board of. trustees on Aug. 22, II55-J, and was suspended for two years. Portland Incident The otlier incident involved a rabbi and a layman. It was a feud between Rabbi M. May and a Mr. A. Waldman, in Portland, Oregon in October of 1880. The rabbi, according-to newspaper reports of that period, shot twice at Mr. Walman, "tore a p i e c e out of his coat and came near killing an honest man, and Mr. Waldman put a pair of. beautiful rings about the rabbi's eyes." The shooting took place, however, not in a synagogue but on Portland's Front Street. According to the American Jewish Archives' records. Iheac-
should be added that a son of tho deceased, by his original wife, objected to the change also. There is a common and popular Jewish siiper.slitilion that changing the name of a severely ill person may fool the lurking Angel of Death into thinking that perhaps lie has made a mistake in his intended victim. Indeed, the Minister of the Interior himsclf,_Moshc Shapiro, hadly hurt some ten years ago in a bomb explosion, adopted the surname Hayim (life) for that reason. He recovered, and retains the name Hayim lo this day. Easy to Gel New Names Under the present law, namechanging is easy and simple, About 20,000 Israelis a year register changes and pay the 35 cent lee involved. A second change by the same person is permitted only after lapse of seven years, unless there are special circumstances. Not every member of a family makes the change, and thus; it can happen that two brothers sometimes have different family names — or Israeli-born sons will'adopt a H e b r e w family name while their parents cling to the old name by which they were know in Germany or Poland or the U,S. Sometimes a man will liiivc second thoughts. The records show that one Ephralm Cohen overnight became Elvis Presley. Three months later he was back at (he office, begging to become Enliraim Cohen again. His neighbors were making life miserable for him. A request from a devotee of modern dance to become Oliver Twist was rejected. It is very likely that the present law will be tightened up considerably, especially to prevent name-changing by those seeking to hide from the law—• or from creditors. .' So many thousands of Israelis have legitimately changed their names, however, that one wit has proposed the publication of a volume, alongside the Israeli Who's Who, to be k n o w n as "Who Was Who."
count of that shooting was headlined: "Pastoral Relations—How Rabbi May and Brother Waldman Serve the Lord.'1 The Archives' reports are from the Daily Oi'egonian of Portland, Oct. 2, 1880, which reveal that the feud between rabbi and lay* man was due to a '•misunderstanding of a personal nature," that: "Mr. Waldman .struck Dr, May twice in the face, when tho latter drew a pistol and iired twice at him. Fortunately, neither shot took effect. Parties interfered and separated the belligerants. Subsequently b o t h Waldman and May were arrested by Constable .Sprague." The newspaper report also states that the shooting on Oct. 1, liJIIO. "took place as President Rutherford 13. Hayes was visiting the city, and the firing could have been heard in the hotel where he stayed. The President and his escort. William Tccuin« sell Sherman, Civil W;ir heroes, may well have imagined thflt they were both back on the battlefields where, they had won their laurels." The American Israelite, report ing on the incident. Oct. 22, 11180, said it was "a pity that Israel should have produced a shooting clergyman." and it added that "poor May will either liavo to go peddling or join the shooting Baptists," apparently bavin)? been dismissed by the Portland congregation. Personal Experience There is a personal recollection. As a mere child, this writer and his brother, who was two years his senior, attended the Dr. Thcodor Iler/.l Memorial meeting in the Great Synagogue) in Lida (Lithuania). Suddenly, as) the proceedings were to start, a group of anti-Zionist Bundists invaded the synagogue, mounted the pulpit with guns and threatened to take over the rally. There was panic, old men jumped for safety from the high windows, many were injured, Russian police arrived, thero were arrests and the pandemonium was great. I can't recall how my brother and I managed to get home in safety, which we did. Thus, there were episodes of gun-toting in synagogues. Anli« Semitic police often invaded houses of worship, and in the instance just recorded Jewish Bundists in a sense desecrated a Birriiih. But never before had anyone actually shot another, and also himself, to death, in a) house of worship, The Detroit tragedy of Feb. 12, 19G0, remains the saddest episode in recorded Jewish history.

Open Letter to Arthur Godfrey
preferred to force him to walk with us through the downpour than to let him share the comfort of a cab ride. Now, as we passed the Stefanskirche, it was growing dark rapidly. On the left side was tho cafe that had been a Nazi hangout; perhaps it still was. Wo t u r n e d into the Rotenturmstrasse, descended its length to the Quai and turned left. "It's gone," I muttered. Where once had stood the Hotel Metropole, w h i c h the Gestapo had taken over as their headquarters, a huge apartment house was rising. We approached for a closer look, but there was no lesson to be learned here. Man builds as readily and as firmly upon the bones of his victims as upon granite. Beginning of the End vVe turned into the small maze of crooked alleys that lie off the RotcnUinnstrasse. This time we had to ask our way. Then we rounded a corner and my wife said: "Here is where we stood." Ahead of us lay a short, dim-lit, cobbled alley, empty for a parked truck laden with dirt and odd bits of timber. Yes, the Seilenslettingasse: 28 years ago, on a mild March afternoon that bore the promise of Vienna's lovely springtime, we had stood here and watched the beginning of the end of Austrian Jewry. A -cheerful, noisy crowd was gathered, then, around the entrance to No. 4, in the middie of the block. We had pushed through, past guffawing men and mothers who had raised their children to their shoulders so that the little ones, too. would not miss the fun. And, iu front of No. 4, a score o r Jews—men and women and children as young as 10 — were on their knees scrubbing the cobbles with a iye solution which had already turned their hands raw and bloody. A half-dozen a r m e d BrownGhirts supervised. Well, of course, that was only the heginniug. Years later, at Nuremberg, we would learn that what hail begun by dipping the Jews into lye had eadetl by turning them into soap. The 28-year-old picture faded. We advanced silently along the ancient cobbles and stopped half way. Unimaginably, the old synagogue was still there—small and shabby, but with it remarkably handsome doors intact, And adjoining it still stood No. 4, which in liKlf) housed the aching heart of Viennese Jewry: the Kullusgemeinde. A half-dozen small v/all placnUes. gleamed palely at the entrance, indicating its present occupants. We approached to read them in tho half-light: Women's International Zionist 'Organization; Jewish National Fund; Jewish Credit and Havings Society; United Action for Israel; and—yes—on one of the upper floors, the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde. Durability No more Jews in Vienna? Jewish durability must indeed confound our enemies; but sometimes it confounds me, too. Had I been Viennese, I don't think I could ever have returned to trod these cobbles again, or climb these dark stairs. But then I had never known this city when it wasn't evil. We left Vienna the next day, and on the way to the airport I read in the papers that an Austrian court had just convicted a man for involvement in the m u r d e r of several thousand Jews, The sentence: four years in jail.

Dear Camp l)ii''«l«r: We have two children who are goin;; to an overnight camp lor the first time this Mimme —a boy ol HI, and a girl of II.•Both have been to day camps and enjoyed them, liul the boy is very reluctant, doesn't want to go awry overnight. We roaii/.e how vahu'ble camping coaid be lor him. hut don't want to lorce him fo go agaiiist his will. How can we get him to let go oi his feais? Or should I forget the whole thing until he is .iiore confident? We are most I'lixious to help him. it
^
*
Dear M: First, you must understand that this is a normal reaction. All of us need occasionally to leave situations and places that are familiar and pleasant. Every such change iii orr lives is accompanied by some degree pi shock. Even a tree or shrub that is transplanted sutlers some trauma; but once it adjusts, il grows better, healthier. Men and Women. Ijoys and girls, need "support'1 to help them move into, new setling.s that mark their progress through life. I don't think "forgetting the whole idea" is sound. We don't want to stop or retard the process of growing up. We want to help the child master the quite normal fears that accompany the b e g i n n i n g of change—for the ^reat benefits this very experience will bring and the doors il will open both to his pleasures and to his accelerated progress to manhood. I would suggest that you try to find (Hit if he ha;, a friend who is going to camp, preferably, one who is attending the same camp. (I've known parents concerned with your problem to ask the camp director for the names, addresses and telephone numbers of campers from the .same neighborhood, and to arrange for the children to get a c q u a i n t o d.) An experience shared is a richer experience, and a new one loses much of its vague fear-producing power if it is met by two together, even two young boys. Encourage your son to bring this friend, or any friend, home — eventually for an overnight stay. A house guest is a new and interesting adventure for a child, with the opportunity to learn some of the responsibilities of being a host. It usually generates a reciprocal invitation to return the visit. So your son gets the chance to sample an overnight experience in a less threatening environment, not so
far away, to prepare him for the upcoming -slay at camp. Also, enlist the help of the camp director. If ho is forewarned, he will go out of his way to introduce your son In f:oiin; of Ihe slall when you take the boy U. the camp ollice. Getting to know some oi the people who will be at camp with him helps to dispel the strangeness and strengthens his .sense of sciMirity. his feeling of being able to cope with the challenge. 'fix; Director v.ill also produce lots ol photos to show what the camp is like. Your son will hegin to set- himself in the groups as he views them, figuratively e n j o y i n g the pictured camp activities.in prospect, and more of his really groundless fears will evaporate. In the spring, drive out to the camp site to see the miracle of rebirth as nature comes alive again, blossoming with color and aroma. Explore the camp together. Let him begin to see himself there — swimming and cavorting in the pool, or fishing, boating and cr.noeing on the lake, playing on the sunny fields, enjoying the cool shade of the woods. Let him imagine the adventure of building his own fire, cooking his own meal, enjoying the fellowship of his cabinmates and the solicitude and guidance of his counselors. The "soft sell" is called for. Let the message come from his friends, from the pictures, from nature itself, from the facilities at camp. They say a lot more to a boy, and more eloquently, than any of us can. Repeat the prescription, the full tn atmeiit. The house guest bit will he worth whatever extra trouble it may give you, Repeat it and extend it to other friends as youi son requests it. He may want to make another visit to camp. Charge the time and expense to his education, aware that you .ire helping him toward independence and self-confidence — preparing him for his ine\ itable departures in the future, lor higher schools, for college, for military service, for whatever the demands of his w o r k or prolession may make of him; in shoil. for successful and happy living. The "umbilical cord" doesn't cut itself. The emotional counterpart needs the firm, sensitive assistance of all concerned, but the parents are the key figures in the "operation.' They need to participate. Their rvward? A happier, more relaxed lad, who is-ready to face the future with courage and serenity. That's the battle half-won!
