balance between “cops and rob
bers”, some commentators said,
and it would be necessary at
once to add reinforcements to the
police force.
Some left wing spokesmen ob
jected to including income tax
violators among those to be re
leased. These white collar con-
nivers, the leftists said, make
their calculations. Since Israel
has a victorious war around
once every ten years, they could
conclude that it was worth the
risk cheating on their income
tax, and even if caught they
could get out within a decade.
One observer inquired if this
were not an easy and polite way
for the Government to release
the pressure on the courts. The
proposed law would drop all
pending cases, and in one fell
swoop the clogged dockets would
be cleared. The Attorney Gen
eral’s office denied that this was
a motivation for the proposal.
The busiest courts are those
handling civil cases, not affected
by the amnesty, though it is true
that judges will now be released
from the criminal division to
help clear up the backlog in the
civil courts. At any rate, the
amnesty was the product of a
spontaneous desire to spread the
joy, it was maintained.
Sponsors pointed out that dur
ing the war some 800 prisoners
had donated blood without being
asked. Many of them had pleaded
for opportunity to serve with the
1,000 Adults Attend
Summer Seminars
WASHINGTON (JTA) — One
thousand adults are attending
special B’nai B’rith seminars this
summer, studying Jewish life,
history and tradition, St was an
nounced here by Dr. William
Wexler, president of B’nai B’ritn.
Twelve such seminars, he said,
are being conducted under the
guidance of noted scholars at
secluded encampments around
the country from Salado, Texas,
to Camp Tamiment in Pennsyl
vania to Wild Acres, N. C., in the
Blue Ridge Mountains.
At the latter camp, he said, 87
men and women—including at
torneys and physicians, account
ants and housewives—have com
pleted a concentrated five-day
course, led by Dr. Mordecai M.
Kaplan, the founder of Recon
st ruction ism; Rabbi Jack Ben-
porat, an official of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations;
and Dr. David Sidorsky, of Co
lumbia University.
Proposal Seeks Aid
For Arab Refugees
WASHINGTON (JTA) — A
proposal has been made in Con
gress for the United States to ad
mit 25,000 Palestinian Arab ref
ugees to encourage other nations
to join in the worldwide resettle
ment of the refugees. Rep. Leon
ard Farbstein, New York Dem
ocrat, a member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, called
on President Johnson to take the
first step to ease tensions caused
by the refugee situation. The
Congressman said that such a ges
ture could ignite a chain reac
tion in which even Communist
nations might join in admitting
Arabs. “The Arab states would
then be able to do no less for
their brethren.”

Under the Amnesty Law 600
prisoners have been released
from jail, and 1500 others,
against whom cases were pend
ing or whose trials were under
way, have had the proceedings
dropped. In the latter cases, any
accused wha insists upon going
through with his trial, so that his
name may be fully cleared, re
tains that right.
The amnesty does not apply to
crimes against national security,
public morals, genocide, Nazi
crimes, evasion of military ser
vice, murder, infiltration, prosti
tution, and crimes for which the
punishment is over ten years.

Polish-born Jew

TEL AVIV (JTA)—J. Dabani,
a 42-year-old, Polish-bom Jew
who had fought in the Israel
army during the war of libera
tion in 1948-49, has been arrest
ed here on charges of having act
ed as a spy for Syria. Acoording
to police, Dabani left Israel

Embassy. He was allegedly of
fered $5,000 if he would serve
as a spy, but on condition that
he would go first to Damascus
for instructions. The police auth
orities said he had refused to go
to Damascus but, nevertheless,
received payments from the Syr
ian Embassy from time to time.

the opportunity of paying up

Fines of up to IL.10,000 which

been quick to pay up his fine
was just out of luck, we suppose.
Where fines amounted to more,
the first IL.10,000 due was can

The police said they were

against 50,000 tickets for minor
traffic violations committed be

In short, the amnesty resulting

To Yiddish Books
NEW YORK (JTA)—A biblio
graphy of Yiddish books publish

1945 to 1967 was issued here by
the YIVO librarian, Miss Dina
Abramowicz. The bibliography
lists 217 individual items with
full information as to year of
publication, publisher and num
ber of pages. Various editions of
the same work are also listed.
Miss Abramowicz has also con
tributed an extensive introduc
tion in which she outlines the
enormous growth of interest in
translations from Yiddish during
the past twenty years. The half
century before 1945 produced
only 80 English translations in
book form while the present bib
liography lists almost three times
that number, she stresses.
