At Tenth TR. 6-0616 Atlanta, Ga. LADIES’ and MEN’S HATS 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.” A qualified counselor does not waste your time, nor the time of a prospective employer with “mismatched” referrals. r Mro .

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.

The offender who had 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 celled. The police said they were dropping prosecution moves against 50,000 tickets for minor traffic violations committed be fore June 5th.

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.
