New York (Special)—More than 30,000 Americans have 'converted to Judaism since 1954, with the rate of conversion on the rise, according to research gathered by Aschcr Pelm, for the second volume of his work "Judaism in America." The book, in Yiddish, is to be published this year. The largest segment of converts are Gentile women marrying .Jews, according to Penn, who is one of the two city editors of "The Jewish Daily Forward," a Yiddish newspaper in New York. "This situation." he wrote in an appraisal of conversion, "is prevalent on the campuses of our colleges." To cope with the increase in conversions since i'JUA, two schools had been set up to prepare non-Jews for conversion and now there are 10 schools. The cities with schools for converts to Judaism are Chicago. New York. Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington, St. Louis, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The rate of conversion, which used to be about 2,000 a year in 1954, is now about 3.000, according to Penn. who noted that there is. a traditional reluctance in Judaism to proselytize. Reform Judaism does not require circumcision of converts, but Orthodox and Conservative Jewish groups require it. An Orthodox rabbi, in dealing with a would-be convert must, according to Penn. discourage the applicant at least three limes during the period of instruction that precedes conversion. "The trend toward the ancient faith of Judaism," saysPenn. "is also a rebellion against a pragmatic and materialistic society.'
Plans Revived for Memorial Nev: York (JTA) — Plans to erect a memorial in' New York to the 6,000,000 Jewish martyrs of the Nazi holocaust were again set in motion this week with the announcement by the Committee to Commemorate the Six Million Jewish Martyrs of the formation of an art committee under the cnairmanship of David Lloyd Kreeger, Washington attorney and art collector. 7tie sponsoring committee will commission I new design for the memorial in consultation with Jewish historians and re ligious and. cultural personalities.- Tiic .Site ot ilre iirciiiOucii will be alongside the promenade at Battery Park near the Emma Lazarus tablet, facing the Statue of Liberty out in the bay. In 1964, the New York City Art Commission rejected plans by the project's sponsors for a memorial in Riverside Park on the grounds that the design was "too tragic." Subsequently, a proposal by the City Art Commission for a memorial in a small park facing Lincoln Center was rejected by the sponsoring committee.

Los Angeles (J'J'A)—A Los Angele.s City Council inquiry into the extent of anti-Semitic activity in the predominantly Jewish Fairfax neighborhood b e g a n here on March 22. The Council's Police, Fire and Civil Defense Committee asked for the investigation after testimony by witnesses to an egg-throwing and swastika-painting d e m o n stra'tion staged in the Fairfax area last November 22 by members of the Misfits of New York, a gang of Nazi-uniformed motorcyclists. Country Clubs A charge that "virtually every private country and city club" in Southern California bars membership to persons on religious or racial grounds wa.s made here by Bruce I. Nochman. regional executive committee chairman of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Mr. Nochman made t h a t charge after reporting that a survey has shown that 2G country and city clubs have a quota system for the admission of Jews to membership. Of the total of 59 clubs examined in the survey, he said, 27 reported that they have no religious bars regarding membership. If you saw a child in trouble, would you turn away?

The Black Jews of Harlem—:i community of colored people who practice Judnisni and claim that thtir ancestors vert? Ethiopian Jews—-an- finally winning recognition on the part of the United Synagogue ot America, central bodv of the- Conservative synagogues. 'J'ht' congregations of the Jiiack Jews have lung .'ought identification with tin; Jewish people outside ot their own community. Now. the Ur.iUrd Synagogue of America has indicated that they would be acceptable for membership in organized Conservative Judaism if they met :>Uiml;inl conservative ref|iiir(-nit-nls for 'admission. The reason why they faced difficulties until now was not hecause their members were colored people but because there was doubt us to their Jewish origin. They Were in the .same position as the Bene Israel .sect ironi India are in Israel, where the rabbinate questions their Jewish origin. The black Jews in .New York have their own .synagogues, hold Jewish services on Friday nights and Saturdays, call up the members of their congregations to the Torah. and celebrate all Jewish holidays, if somewhat in their own way. During the services, they wear taieisim, cover their heads with yarmtilkes, recite the prayer Enema, close their services with the Kaddish and with the singing of the Hebrew son/.; Adon Olam in the musical version used by Reformed Jews. On Passover, they congregate for a communal Seder en the first night, follow their rabbi in reading the Hagnddah, have their children ask the "four questions'' at the Seder, and hold Jewish religious services in their synagogues during the entire Passover week. They consider Hebrew an the Lord's language, not a language spoken in the street, and they proudly assert that they are strictly kosher in their food. They are eager to send their children to Hebrew schools and yeshivas, and they maintain their own evening courses with their" rabbis leaching cjementary Hebrew, Jewish history and other subjects of Jewish learning. Federation Views The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York lias been studying the problem of the black Jewish community for some time. Its Commission on Synagogue Relations, of which Rabbi Jsaac K. Trainin is director, established a Committee on Black Jews some 10 years ago when the question arose of finding foster homes for children whose mothers were Jewish and the fathers were Negroes. The Committee on Black Jews, composed of rabbis end laymen—as well as of representatives of the black Jewish community—hns since expanded its work and now deals with the entire problem of helping the integration of the black Jews into the overell Jewish community. Trie Federations Committee on Black Jews /eels that the colored Jews have every right to take advantage of any and all Federation services and it encourages the Federation's agencies to go cut of their way to serve the black Jews. The Federation Employment and Guidance Service stands ready now to help the black Jewish community in employment and vocational guidance, and so do'family agencies and camps maintained by the Federation. In the area of the adoption of children of white mothers and Negro fathers, the Federation's Commission on Synagogue Relations is trying to educate the Jewish community that "a Jew is a J t w ' and that such children should be adopted by white Jewish parents. The Commission has not been very successful in this direction, but its efforts will continue under the chairmanship of the dynamic Rabbi Israel Mowshowitz. In the meantime 27 New York rabbis—at the request of the Federation's Commission on Synagogue Relations and with the encouragement of the New York Board of Habbis—carried editorials in the Synagogue Bulletins encouraging the adoption of inter-racial children.

By Carl Alpert Haifa—The public lias been deeply disturbed by the accusations made against a member of the Tel Aviv District Court. He has been charged with accepting bribes. Police investigation uncovered sufficient evidence to warrant filing of standing (rial before a panel of three of his colleagues. The daily newspaper reports of th« testimony of the chief prosecution witness, and the cross examination, make an ugly story iii which tiir> arc'tis£r and the defendant both ap pear in sordid roles. Public interest is high not only because of the nature of the scandal which is being unfolded, but also because this is Carl Alpert the first instance in the history of the country in which a member of the judiciary has been so charged. Hitherto, Israel's judges have enjoyed sn unblemished reputation for integrity and objectivity. Even in the present instance, it should be noted, the verdict is not yet in. The accused denies his guilt. Selection of Judges One reason for the high standing of Israel's judiciary is the method of selection of judges. In some states judges are elected by the voters. The choice thus becomes a popularity contest in which personality, oratory and political influence play a full share. Elsewhere judges are appointed by the executive branch of the government, and it is only normal that political aspects play some role. In Israel judges are chosen by a Judiciary Appointments Committee in which an ingenious system of checks and balances prevents the introduction oi political factors. The nine members comprising the committee are; two Cabinet Ministers named by the Government, two members of the Knesseth chosen by that body, two lawyers designated by the Bar Association, and
iU
three judges delegated by the Supreme Court from its own ranks. The Ministers and Knesseth members, even if all of one party, constitute a minority of the committee. This unique system is believed to be the first of its kind in the world. In a country where politics is taken »»?ry, very seriously, the judiciary has thus far been spotless. Technically, the committee s u b m i t s its choices to the President of the State, who makes the formal appointments. In all there are about 150 judges in the various courts of the country, including 10 on the Sunrtfrcu* Court. Mature of personal ftStUHM^STriage, divorce, inheritance, etc., are governed by religious law, and there are separate Jewish, Christian, Moslem and Druze courts with their own judges, which have jurisdiction in these ' affairs. N'o Juries Since there is no jury system in Israel, the judges are truly all-powerful. A feud between the Bar1 Association and one of the woman judges agitated the profession not long ago. Private lawyers, and even the District Attorney, complained against her high-handed attitude, her insults against lawyers in front of their clients, the stiff fines she levied against lawyers who came to court late, etc. The Bar Association declared its intentions of organizing a boycott against her, but the Minister of Justice warned that such a boycott would be illegal. Yet this has been an isolated instance. In general judges are treated with respect and have worn their robes with dignity. Increasingly, when there is need for impartial persons to head public commissions or special agencies of various kinds, a member of the judiciary is called upon. And for these reasons, the country has been shocked by the bribe charges which now, for the first time, impugn the integrity of the courts. The accusations have been shocking—but the defense has not ytt had its clay in court. The public Is watching and waiting.

SpeeieiS Mote You know that Idler you've btm planning to write to your inother-in-law, aunt or old college churn? Take my advice and j;-lit it oil till next Thursday— I'll tell you why. After you finish the part of OK- k-tlcr Hint tells about how nice the weather has been and nil the cute things the children have lice n doing, is a good place to insert something that will jjiake the recipient of your letter jit up and take notiee.Something ]ik(•- "Hy Ilic way, I had Ira yesterday willi .loan Fontaine . . ." how's that for perking up a dull JtHer. Seriously, in addition to the Mains value of .spending an afttrnnon with the lovely film star .Innn Fontaine, there are other reasons why YOU SHOULD attend the Philanthropies Festival tit Beth Israel Wednesday. April 5, :md money is only a part of it. In all the publicity that precedes the annual Big Day for the Women's Philanthropies Division, the emphasis lias been on the needs for funds —in Omaha —in Israel — throughout the world. The women of this community have always responded generously to this appeal for funds, but for too many, commitment begins and ends with the checkbook. Certainly the primary purpose <)f the annual campaign is to raise funds, and I do not underestimate the importance of checks, but I think there's more to this campaign, and this is the part that hasn't been given as rnuch publicity. Anyone who knows Mary r''ellmun, chairman of the Women's
Division, knows that her 10111 mitinent as a Jewish woman i> complete.'A l e a d e r of m.uiv phases of Jewish community life for many years, Mary has ••ronj; feelings about the lespon .ibih ties of Jewish women. in discussing the campaign publicity with Mary a number of months ago, she told me that die big event for the women's di visimi would be called "('" d.i\— "('." meaning c o m m i t m e n t . "CommilmMit means chctKs," she said," hut It also means comp a s s i o n. Commitment means cash hut it also means com i in— that's what I'd like to get fi otn the women o( Omaha this ve.n —not just their dollars, but their devotion as well." That's vVhv the big event in the women's division will be different this year—cause M;.ry Tellman headed the planning of the Philanthropies Festival and she means it to be different. She tells me that the 'whole format of the meeting will be different — certainly the guest speaker is different -and the program starring O/.zie and Eunie would be great even if it wasn't different —which it is. The Philanthropies Festival on April 5 will be an exciting afternoon for all who attend, and that's why I'm making this pitch. I think you should be there—not just so you can tell your motherin-law you had tea with Joan Fontaine, but to ..has your community you care. Come and be counted. Let's show by numbers on April 5. the strength and commitment of the Jewish women of Omaha. Se you Wednesday iit Beth Israel.
By Frande Broily Happy Purim! I say that in earnest, because Purim is my favorite holiday. I find an aprraUng spirit in the commemoriitum of such a happy event, in auldition to a lesson quite relevant to our lives today. I persuaded a group of my friends to attend the Megilla reading with me this year, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Yet, 1 would venture to guess that the only other people in attendance were scattered groups of small children with their parents. It teemed, however, that both the children and the adults present at the Purim service, felt that they had spent a delightfully •worthwhile" overling. The prevailing attitude in our community seems to be that "Purim is a children's holiday" with little or no significance to anyone with a mature mind. To most teens, fat least to (hosfi that remember that the holiday of Purim exists), Purim is merely the "carnival time of the year." Many of us are either involved in the preparation of n carnival or we attend one of the carnivals at the synagogues and nothing more. I)o you feel that Purim has any significance relevant (o your life as a modern Jew?
place on Purim. I cannot truthfully say that I would becomca worthwhile Jew because I attended Megillah readings every Purim. The Jewish religion comes from the faith of the people that has developed over a period of thousands of years. Your faith in your religion can be strengthened and developed at home and does not have to lie wanting away until one of the socallcd major holidays comes around. The story behind Purim might not have any particular significance to a modern Jew, but the story behind the Jews, from an outlook of our every day lives, bears quite a significance."

Susie Kmlelman "I feel that for the modern Jew, Purim has lost its significance. As we grow older we forget much of our Jewish heritage and tradition. When I was younger, I always looked forward to dressing up and marching, but even then I never really felt the true m e a n i n g of Purim. Now that I am older, it has no significant meaning for Gayle Lchrman "Purim is a joyous Jewish holiday. As small children most of us looked forward to it, but now that I am older, Purim is only a faint memory for me. A memory of greggers, carnivals, and costumes unfortunately, rather than the significant bearing the story of Purim should relate to all Jews." •

Capitol Spotlight
The strongest impact of any Jewish expression on Viet Nam was registered at the White House by Philip M. Klutznick'!, re c e n t speech, t) u e s t i o n i n « whether the war , really s e r v e d ' the national in- ;• terest. \ Mr. Klutznick. j honorary i n ter- [• national p r e s i d e n t of B'nai B'rith, is regard- M. Friedman td by President Johnson as one of America's leading personages of Jewish faith. Mr. Klutznick's remarks were not just another Viet Nam protest because they were delivered b e f o r e an important Jewish forum, that of the B'nai B'rith board of governors. They could not be ignored because of Mr. Klutznick's service, as a personal appointee of President Kennedy, with Adlai Stevenson, on the" U.S. delegation to the United Nations. Administration premises justifying the war had a l r e a d y been attacked as dogmatic and excessively bellicose by leading Reform rabbis and many Jewish intellectuals. The Administration position was, however, mililantfy defended by the Jewish War Veterans, various military chaplains, and most of the Orthodox rabbinate. A brilliant anti-Communist thinker who adeptly debunked the'Communist line at tlifc U.N., Mr. Klutznick has now caused consternation in high Administration circles. A group of Reform rabbis or some returning Peace Corpsmen of Jewish faith could be ignored as naive idealists. But Mr. Klutznick is one of America's most solid citizens of Jewish faith. Peace Suggestions Mr. Klutznick's. address happened to coincide w i t h new peace suggestions from all three Senators of Jewish faith —nibicoff, of Connecticut, Javjls of New York, and Grueiiing of Alaska. It followed the appointment of two Congressmen of Jewish f a i t h , Representative's Halpern and Rosenthai, both of New York, to n Select House Committee to investigate the plight of civilian casualties and refugees in Viet Nam. Public and r e l i g i o u s responses to Viet Nam have become inextricably linked. Mi*. Klutznick noted in New York that he spoke only for himself, 8s an individual. "This did not
minimize the significance of his choice of the h i g h e s t B'nai B'rith platform r a t h e r than some other medium of expression. Containment Mr. Klutznick called on the Johnson Administration to reassess the nation's "political motivations" in Viet Nam and determine w h e t h e r the war served the national interest. If not, said Mr. • Klutznick, the Government must either put forward a formula for negotiations or reduce its military role in Viet Nam drastically and unilaterally. . He said that the old anti-Communist containment policy that functioned effectively two decades ago in Europe might today be archaic for Southeast' Asia. A defect in the present Viet Nam policy, according to Mr. Klutznick, is that "it rests
too heavily on a serious rjuestion of the validity of superpower." "To those who say 'but we can't quit now,' I must ask: If it is in our national interest, why not?" Mr. Klutznick said. He pointed out that "we have permitted our Viet Nam comliillnic-nt to control our foreign policy instead of foreign policy determining the extent of our Viet Natn commitment." Mr. Klutznick maintained that the Viet Nam bombing debate has obscured the "vital need" for an intensive review and updating of foreign policy objec tives. He called for a conference to seek "common agreement" on foreign policy objectives." He observed that America and other nations "are learning the limits as well as the strength" of America's huge m i l i t a r y arsenal.
