The Dutch Shame The Greedy
The Dutch are shaming greedy American businessmen who fall
all over themselves to pose as anti-Semites in order to obtain con
tracts from Arab oil companies. Dutch Minister of Justice An-
dries van Agt has announced that notaries who make out
declarations affirming that holders are not Jewish will be
prosecuted for violating Dutch law against racial and religious
discrimination. Dutch Foreign Minister Van der Stoel a week
earlier had cancelled a trip to Saudi Arabia because a Jewish
reporter who wished to accompany him was denied a visa by the
Saudis. THE JEWISH WEEK, Washington
A Mutuality Of Respect
The return of the Orthodox branch of Judaism to the
Synagogue Council of America is welcome after so long a dis
affection.
But the return carries with it the Orthodox branch’s stipulation
that it still does not recognize the legitimacy of either the Conser
vative or Reform branches.
Under these circumstances, it may be hard to see what the
Orthodox move means in terms of healing the breach among the
various religious affiliations of American Jewry.
For one thing, the return itself at least heals the schism on the
surface, and that is a good thing.
For another, it affords an opportunity for those in the
Orthodox branch who may be more moderate on this question to
engage in active dialogue with members of the Conservative and
Reform movements.
The issue here is not to challenge Orthodoxy — to argue that
the return is meaningless if it is not accompanied by statements of
accreditation to the others.
Rather, the issue is that perhaps a beginning has been made
toward a mutuality of respect in the name of total Judaism.
JEWISH FLORIDIAN, Miami
LONDON — The 32nd an-
niversary of the Warsaw Ghetto
uprising was marked here April 6.
It was sponsored by the Associa
tion of Polish-Jewish Ex-
Servicemen, and organized by the
influential Association of Jewish
Ex-Servicemen of Great Britain.
Prior to the rally, a delegation of
polish-Jewish ex-servicemen laid a
wreath on the British War Me
morial cenotaph in Whitehall.

his persistence and his physical
courage.”
Simultaneously with the funeral
services here, a memorial service
was conducted at B'nai B'rith's in
ternational headquarters in
Washington by Rabbi Benjamin
M.Kahn, executive vice president
of the organization.
A native of New Orleans, Mr.
Katz was a student of the late Dr.
Ephraim E. Lisitsky, a famed
Jewish scholar and poet, at the
New Orleans Communal Hebrew
School. His early training made
him a fluent Yiddishist as well as
B’naf B’rith’s first Hebrew-
LABEL KATZ
speaking president — a fact which
delighted such Israeli leaders as
David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir
with whom he had met regularly
during visits to Israel.
As another expression of his
Jewish heritage, Mr.Katz adopted
his Yiddish diminutive “Label”
rather than retain its English
equivalent for his first name.
Throughout his communal
career he was a strong advocate of
improved Jewish community for
failing to face up to its educational
failings “with the same vigor that
it approaches social and
philanthropic issues."
Mr. Katz was graduated from
Tulane University and earned a
law degree there in 1941 After
practicing law briefly, he moved
into housing rehabilitation and
real estate investments.

His affiliation with B’nai B’rith
began at the age of 15 as a member
of its youth movement. Twenty-one
years later after having served in
various leadership roles in the adult
organization, he was elected chair
man of the national commission
which supervises B’nai B’rith
teenage youth programs.
Mr. Katz was also chairman of
the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations, which deals with
American-lsraeli affairs, and of
the World Conference of Jewish
Organizations, an international
assembly concerned with issues
affecting Jewish communities
throughout the world.
He also served on the national
boards of the United Jewish
Appeal, Israel Bond Organization,

Education and other groups.

William and Robert of New
Orleans; a daughter, Mrs. Howard
Fishman of Washington; two,

nier and Mrs. Boyd Allison, of
New Orleans, and three
grandchildren. He was the nephew
