Israel's Returning Ex-Soldiers Shun Life 'Down in the Town
Sees J Holy War 1 No Answer To Conflict with Communism
JERUSALEM (P-O) — How you gonna keep ’em down in the town after they’ve seen Paree? Or if not Paree, then Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. That’s the problem confronting the fathers of Israel’s new development towns whose sons go off to join the army — and don’t come back. These towns, which have been absorbing new immigrants “right off the boat,” are due to wither and stagnate unless the tide of youth away from them can be stemmed. How to do this? Alisa Levenberg, writing in the Jerusalem Post, offers some solutions. One of the basic causes of the difficulty she believes is the inability of the ex-servicemen to find employment commensurate with their abilities and desires in the “new development” towns. Said one soul-searching youth; “I’d love to work in my hometown once I have done with my army service. I am going to become a radio technician. If I can find employment back home in this field, I’ll surely go back.” But his town offers no employment future for a young man in this line. So what is he to do? Go some place else. Says Miss Levenberg “In the
northern development towns, all that awaits the returning young ex-soldiers is relief work, since almost no industry has yet been developed there. “One solution would seem to be the foundation erf cooperatives in the new towns. This would link up with other forms of cooperation and be a realization of pioneer values in a new sense. “If attempts in that direction were encouraged by the authorities both of the State and the Histradrut, this might put a stop to migration from the development towns of the north to the large cities. “In those development towns where industrialization is a fact, it is not too difficult to suggest vocational traing courses. But in a town like Kiryat Shmona for example, the situation is more complicated. Here industries to be developed should influence the educational policy of the post-ele-mentary school. If a new plant is about to be set up its demand for trained manpower should enter into the calculations.” Thus the “new development” towns should closely follow economic planning and cooperate with the existing and projected factories, so as to prepare workers for them. If, for example, new plants are to be set up, they
will need not only workers but also people who can service the machines, accountants, typists and secretaries, switch-board operators, etc. To get back to Kiryat Shmona, Miss Levenberg writes: “T h e area abounds in recreation homes, restaurants, hotels, etc., and hotel courses and related training would answer a direct need, especially since the children of Rosh Pina, Metulla and some of the Moshavim also attend the postelementary school of Kiryat Shmona. “But it is clear that exact planning can only be suggested after some research through practical nurses’ courses for the girls, for example; or laboratory work might be taught in cooperation v/ith the Health Center or the Government or the Histradrut Sick Fund since there is local employment for these professions. “Disgruntled semi-intellectuals in the new towns are a serious threat not only to the continued existence of the new immigrant centers as normal towns, but of Israeli society at large. Before we direct further large numbers of children to post - elementary studies which they consider an entrance ticket into established society, and a safeguard against economic straits, we should make certain that the pre-conditions for their integration exist.” 8 Nazis Seized For Crimes In Holiday Massacre NEW YORK (P-O) — Eight Nazis who massacred 42,000 Jews in labor camps in the Lublin district of Poland on Nov. 3 and 4, 1943 — Harvest Holidays — have been arrested by West German police. West German anthorities are also seeking evidence against three additional Nazi criminals who are charged with having shot, gassed or otherwise slaughtered tens of thousands of Jews, Poles and Russian prisoners of war from Oct. 1941 to July 1944 in the Lublin district. Anyone with knowledge concerning the Lublin massacres are urged to contact Dr. Nehemiah Robinson, director of the Institute of Jewish Affairs, World Jewish Congress, 15 E. 84th St., New York, N. Y. The eight Nazis now in custody for the Harvest Holiday killings are: George Lothar Hoffman, Criminal Commissioner and Chief of the Jewish Section of the Gestapo; Hermann Josef Worthoff, Criminal Commissioner and Jewish Referent of the Gestapo; Fritz Stoecker, Chief of Section III of the Lublin Office of the Commissioner of the Security Police; Dr. Harry Georg Sturm, staff member of the Lublin Security Police Commander; Ewald Heinrich Biegelmeyer, Chief of Section III of the Office of the Lublin Security Police Commander; Gotthard Schubert, Criminal Commissioner in Lublin district; Bruno Wilhelm Meiert, Police Commissioner for Zamosc and Walter Hess, Criminal Commissioner for Chelm. The other three charged with crimes in the Lublin district are: Helmut Altmann, Adolf Waldner and Max Stoebner. These men were implicated in murders in the county of Hrubieszow.
IOWA CITY (P-O) - Christianity and Communism are antithetical. But that is no reason why there should be a “holy war” between them. So declared John C. Bennett, dean of the faculty at Union Theological Seminary, New York City, and author of “Christianity and Communism Today.” Delivering a series of lectures at Iowa State University based on his meetings with Russian religious leaders in Prague, Czechoslovakia and tours of Asia, Dr. Bennett said: “While there are Christian reasons for opposing Communism, there are also Christian reasons for avoiding a nuclear catastrophe.” He declared Christians should seek relationships with Communists and seek opportunities to “witness for their faith.” Dr. Bennett noted that the monolithic front Communism likes to present to the world, has been shattered by growing differences between Russia and China, be-
tween Czechoslovakia and Poland and between East Germany and Poland. “I believe that we should take with full seriousness," he said, “the fact that Communist power is not primarily military power, that the cold war is not primarily a military conflict. “The areas where Communism today is the greatest threat are areas where economic and social problems cry for quick solutions and where governments are weak and unstable. “The chief problem raised by Communism is its absolutism. It assumes that it has the tru« philosophy, the true theory of religion, the true explanation of history, the only program for human advance and the ony hope for man in history.
