$300,000 Pledged
Al Bond Dinner
The 4th annual Benjamin J.
Massell Memorial Award was
conferred upon Sidney Feldman
before the largest dinner meet
ing in its history. In tribute to
Sidney Feldman over $300,000 in
Bonds were subscribed to by
members of Atlanta Jewish com
munity.
Isidore Alterman, Atlanta gen
eral chairman of the Israel Bond
Committee, remarked that
speeches were not really neces
sary—the fact that there was an
overflow audience was itself tes
timony to the high regard in
which Atlanta Jewry held Sidney
Feldman. Mr. Alterman noted
Max Rittenbaum watches as Sidney Feldman receives the
Benjamin J. Massell Memorial Award from Ben Massell Jr.
Congratulations on successful Israel Bond event are received
by Isidore Alterman, Atlanta chairman, and Max Rittenbaum,

together after award dinner.
that “along with the celebration
for Sidney, the people assembled
can celebrate Israel’s 18th year
of Statehood—15 years of success
by the Israel Bond organization,
and significantly, Israel’s contin
ued integrity in meeting its final
payment of the first Israel Bond
issue on time. A check for $31,-
320,685 was handed to the Chase
Manhattan Bank last spring —
and when a little country like Is
rael meets its obligations on time
it is an act of integrity that
should be celebrated.”
Max Rittenbaum, who recently
returned from Israel, served as
dinner chairman, and he describ
ed the Sidney Feldman Work
shop, dedicated to Sidney Feld
man and his wife, which was es
tablished by Erwin Zaban.
Teddy Kollek, Mayor of Jeru
salem, recalled the visit Mr. and
Mrs. Feldman and Mr. and Mrs.
Zaban made to Jerusalem in 1965,
and he was not surprised at the
tremendous tribute by Atlanta
Jewry.

Advise Austrian
Refugees About
Restitution
“Immigrants from Austria
whose claims for restitution have
not yet been satisfied, should
contact the American Council for
Equal Compensation of Nazi Vic
tims from Austria,” the Jewish
Social Service Federation of At
lanta advised.
According to an article in the
German language weekly "Auf-
bau” the American Council for
Equal Compensation says that all
former Austrian citizens should
write to the “American Council
for Equal Compensation of Nazi
Victims from Austria,” P. O. Box
633, Radio City Station, New
York, N. Y. 1001.
The goal is that all former
Austrians should get the same
compensation for the same suf
fering, as the Germans and there
fore, should be put under the
German Law.
It is necessary for every former
Austrian, who suffered under the
Nazi persecution to send his
name, address and addresses of
their friends who were also per-
secutees living in Austria, now
residents of the U. S., to the
above mentioned address.
Druse Brides
Cost Too Much
JERUSALEM (JTA)— Young
men of the Druse community in
Israel appealed to their religious
leaders to set a ceiling for the
“Mohar,” the bride price which
they must pay before marriage.
Young Druses complained that
the bride price currently is as
much as 15,000 pounds ($5,000)
and that, to raise such a sum,
bachelors must work for many
years and undertake loans re
quiring a lifetime to repay. They
proposed a ceiling of 2,000
pounds ($660).
