Planned Parent Group Opens Atlanta Clinic;
Mrs. Taylor Pacing Volunteers as President
Most rewarding result to date
ol the Planned Parenthood Assn,
ol Atlanta was the September
opening of a family planning
clinic at the Bethlehem Commun
ity Center, 9 McDonough Blvd.,
according to Mrs. Herbert Tay
lor, local PPA president.
The cooperative venture, the
first of a number of such clinics
planned by PPAA, will be op
erated by the Center, with funds
supplied by the association. The
Bethlehem Clinic inaugurated
service with the newest and most
effective birth control methods,
including IUD (intra-uterine de
vice) and the “pills.”
Experimentation and research
on the IUD was begun seven or
eight years ago in Israel, Mrs.
Taylor advised, and is becoming
widely used in this country be
cause of its simplicity and low
cost.
Organized locally last January,
the Planned Parenthood Assn, of
Atlanta has enlisted in the War
on Poverty. Its personal crusade
attempts to fight the very root
of poverty — the population ex
plosion. Primary target for the
dissemination of family planning
information is the low-income
lamily unable to receive such in
formation through physicians and
other sources.
Mrs. Taylor reported that in
Atlanta, alone. 20,000 people are
in need of such information. At
the present time, the only other
such clinic in the city is a pri
vately endowed Family Planning
Project operated at Grady Hos
pital by Emory University. This

Adas Yeshuron Synagogue will
hold a Children’s Sukkoth party
on Monday morning, Oct. 11, at
the conclusion of worship serv
ices. The adults’ Sukkoth party
will be held Tuesday morning,
Oct. 12, following services. The
annual Family Simchas Torah
Party is set for 6:00 p m., Mon
day, Oct. 18, in the Abram Pom-
erance Memorial Hall
clinic, financed by a Midwestern
Jewish businessman, is in the
second year of its three year
grant. Restricted to persons with
a Grady Hospital card, the Em
ory project reaches about 6000
persons.
The Planned Parenthood Assn,
hopes to establish neighborhood
community oriented clinics, such
as the Bethlehem project, for
women not eligible for assistance
at Grady or from the Fulton
County Health Department, but
still below the federal $3000 fam
ily income poverty definition.
Asked about religious oppos
ition, Mrs. Taylor stated that re
ligious groups have given almost
unanimous support to the need
for family planning. Judaism, ac
cording to information received
from local rabbis, approaches the
situation from two angles. The
strictly Orthodox interpretation,
while not necesarily sanctioning
birth control as such, gives wide
[attitude to the need for preserv
ing the physical and mental
health of the mother and other
members of the family. A state
ment by the Central Conference
of American Rabbis (Reform)
says, “Parents have the right to
determine the number and to
space the births of their children
in accordance with what they be
lieve to be the best interests of
their families ...”
In a concentrated effort to
bring basic knowledge of birth
control methods to the uninform
ed public, PPAA has distributed
more than 10,000 pamphlets to
public housing projects, public
health clinics and nurses.
With the exception of printing
and mailing costs, the work of
the Planned Parenthood Assn, of
Atlanta has been strictly on a
volunteer basis, Mrs. Taylor said.
She indicated that support of the
Jewish community has been
“most heartwarming.” Among
those serving as directors of the
group are Jerry Levine, Mrs.
Lyons Joel III, Mrs. Walter
Kessler, Dr. Saul Vitner, and Dr.
Seymour Weinberg. Rabbi Harry
H. Epstein serves on the Mini
sterial Advisory Board.

800 Rabbis
Call for Zionist
Enrollment
NEW YORK (JTA) More
than 800 rabbis of the three
branches of American Judaism—
Orthodox, Conservative and Re
form—from 44 states, signed a
proclamation, calling upon "our
fellow-Jews throughout the
United States to identify them
selves with the program of the
Zionist Organization of America
through membership enrollment,
as a vital service to the progress
of Israel and the future of our
people.”
The proclamation, which was
made public by Jacques Torczy-
ner, ZOA president, emphasized
that, while the State of Israel in
its 18th year “has increased its
strength,” it faces many prob
lems in the areas of its security
and economic growth.
Issued on the occasion of the
approach of the New Year 5726,
the call by the rabbis further
underscored Israel’s contributions
in the field of culture, science
and technology, and pointed out
that “the ‘old-new nation’ still
struggling for full development
of her own resources is already
providing aid to underdeveloped
countries.”
Herman Neo-Nazis
Poll 2 % ol Votes:
500,000 Roster
BONN (JTA)—The newly-es
tablished National Democratic
Party, the iirst neo-Nazi party in
West Germany to seek official
nationwide recognition, emerged
from recent Parliamentary elec
tions with only 2 percent of the
vote. In view of the strong at
tendance at recent rallies of the
neo-Nazi group, political observ
ers had predicted that the party
would poll up to 5 percent.
The observers warned, how
ever, that the strength of the
National Democratic Party should
not be under-estimated, since the
2 percent ratio corresponds to
nearly 500,000 votes. In Nurem
berg, the birthplace of Hitler’s
racist policies, the neo-Nazi
group won 6 percent of the vote.
With Chancellor Ludwig Er
hard and his Christian Democra
tic Party retaining their leader
ship of the West German Gov
ernment coalition, Bonn’s pro-
Israel policy is certain to con
tinue. Two days before the elec
tions, the Chancellor had told a
press conference he intended to
improve relations with Israel
further, regardless of his desire
to normalize relations with the
Arab countries. He made it clear
he wants to meet with the next
Israeli Premier after Israel's
forthcoming Knesset elections.
