U. S. Aid for Lydda
Israel May Pay Airport Improvement $20,000 Fee to Washington, (JTA)—An allocation of .$2,000,000 in United EicBimasioi Lawyer •States and Israeli currencies, to Jerusalem, (JTA)—The Israel Cabinet is expected to approve at its next meeting n recommendation to provide 520,000 for fees and costs requested by Dr. Kobert Scrvatius for defending Adolf Kichmann, the Nazi colonel who directed the extermination of the 0,000,000 European Jews. The decision to pay the costs and fees of tlie German attorney was based on the fact that a rejection of Dr. Servatius1 request would have resulted in his withdrawal from tlie case, because there Is no other source of funds to pay him. It was noted that the request to the Israel Government to pay the fees and costs was made by Dr. Servatius on the grounds that Elchmann had signed a statement agreeing to s t a n d trial in Israel if he was provided nn adequate defense.. This • was regarded as additional proof that Kichmann submitted himself to Israeli jurisdiction after his seizure 'in Buenos Aires last spring.

Bar Rest Jewish GIs Aid Building By (ipci. I'rrry The past year will IJC regarded as the Bar Mitzvah of the "Manila Miracle" by worshippers of Temple Kmil on Taft Avrnue in Manila. This is how the Jews of the Republic of the I'hillipincs fuel about the restoration of tin; only synagogue destroyed in Irittlo (Ml American territory during World . War ' I . For Temple Kmil—the only synagogue in the Philippines as well as in the whole of the Western Pacific—was r e 1J u i 11 through the efforts of thousands of Jewish GIs who h:i<i hr:lpr>d liberate tlie Philippines from the Japanese. In the lobby ol this synagogue !.s a modest jilrique dedicated "to all men and ivnmon of the Jewish faith (.f the Arnvd Forces of the United States anil Allied Nations who laid down their lives in the defense and libernlion of the Philippines --T.) 11*1045— -and in tribute to the American Jewish service personnel stationed In the Philippines who initiated the drive to assist the local community in the expenses of 'reconstruction." .1,800 Jews'In 1812 These1 simple words are the final chapter of ft story that began in 3912 when the Japanese drove the last American forces out of the Philippines. There were then about 1.800 .Tows in the Philippines. More than l.'IOO wcr>* refugees from Gcimmy. The others were American, British, French and some from Syria, Turkey mid China. The leaders of the Jewish community were Rabbi J o s e p h Schwartz, a refugee who hail been a chaplain in tlie Austrian Army In World War I, and Morton Netrorg. director of the National Jewish Welfare Board's Army and Navy Department for the Philippines. : The Japanese conquerors Immediately Interned all Jrivs who were nationals of countries at ivnr ivlth Japan.

Center Sports mined by the oilier Jews were able to aid their co-religionists with food and medicine. Gradually, the Japanrsi- changed their attitude and treated all Jews as enemies. David Net/ore—Nibr. Teacher Riibbi Schwartz was one of the few who escaped internment. All during tlie Japanese occupation be continued to hold services in an abandoned building under the watchful eyes of Japanese officers. But Net/ore and his wife, who had come to Manila in 3015 from Detroit as Imneymooners, were put in the dreaded Ranto Tomas ("amp. Their yon Imvid. who had been teaching at the University of Ncliraska, was visiting them when the war hrolte out and he joined the U.S. Army Engineers. He was assigned to I'.ataan where be was captured and later died In tlie fa pa;: Prison, a victim of the infamous 'death march.' When Anierlean troops landed (in I.e_\(»- In October 1911, the Japanese, ordered all Jews not interned to leave Manila. Temple Ilmll's ruiiinmnity liall Has converted Into nn ammunition dump. As the IT.S. Illcvenlli Airborne Division neurcd Manila In February 1915, the Japanese sael;cd and liiirnic) the rlty, nnil killed hundred* of rhlllani, among them nt lr:i*t 80 Jew*.

Only tlio walls of tlm synagogue were standIng WIIIMI American and I'lllpliio forces re-orciipled tlie <lly. Immediately after his relea.se from Kanto Tomas Prison, Net?org became the head of the Jewish community. His first task was to provide shelter, food, clothing and other necessities for the destitute Jewish residents. With the aid of an emergency grant of $10,000 from the Joint Distribution Committee, Nelzorg began the task of reorganization. Supplies flown in by the National Jewish Welfare Board and brought in by the Jewish chaplains who accompanied the American forces enabled Netzon: to organize a huge Seder for civilians and military personnel. Jewish servicemen cooperated magnificently in aiding thn civilian Jews. They organized classes, clubs, lectures in the U.SO-.IWP. club opened under Nntzorg's direction. The Jewish chaplains became a tower of strength to the reviving Jewish community. Rebuild Synagogue Inspired by the leadership of Netzorg and the Jewish chaplains, the Jewish GIs, ascmbled for an ouen air religious service amid the ruins of Temple Emil and pledged themselves 1o rebui'd the', synagogue as a memorial to their comrades who died in the Pacific. With the ciitli(isi:*Mic backing of Chaplains, in less than a montn more than 520,000 was raised The money was turned over to Netzorg as president of the Jewish community who placed it in trust with the JDC. The civilian Jewish community raided a matching sum. When the rebuilt Tempje Kinil was dedicated in 1047, Netzorg was not among the congregation. He had died in October 19-10 in Waller Ileed Hospital. Washington, D. C, probably from the after-efiects of Ills imprisonment in'Manila and his refusal to give up his work with the Jewish community and GIs after his release. Jew Traced to'lS&O Tlie dedication of the rebuilt Temple Emil came one yeai after tho Republic of Philippines became Independent. But Jewish history in the Philippines goes back to the ICth century. An Inquisition tribunal functioned tiiere in 15U0 and there nre eight known cases of Marranos who • were deported to Mexico for punishment There nre still some Filipino families who trace their ancestry back to these Marranos. • Organized Jewish life, howevrr, was virtually noii-e.vlslent. There were services for Hie High Holy Ways oh several occasions. A cantor was brought across tlie l'ai Hie
from Shanghai one year to offlealte (in \'oin Klppur. Jews who wanted their new-born Bnns clrrumel.se<l had to, lulio them to Hong Kong. I'frmaiient Community—1917 The beginning of a permanent Jewish community dates from 1917 when Mottel Goldstein, a well-todo husincsjiian, rented a hall and organized a permanent congregation. At the end of a year the congregation numbered l.r>0. In 3919 Goldstein was in the United States on business and he called on the National Jewish Welfare Hoard. He came lack to Manila as the representative of JWH, charged with organizing religious services for Jewish GIs during the High Holy Days and Passover and providing them with kosher meals. In 1022, JWH named Morton Netzorg, teacher and insurance executive, as Its official representative in Manila. In 1'XM, the first synagogue was named for F.mil Hachrach, the first American Jew to settle [iicmanently in the Philippines. When he died Mrs. Ilachraeh gave the community an additional building, ISachrai-h Hall, which became the center of nil cultural, rocial recreational and educational activity. Then came tlie war and the miracle of Manila. After the war about a third of the Jewish population emigrated. The more than 500 who remained opened a He-
brew school, established a Zionist club, founded an old folks hoim* and acquired a cemetery. Five years ago the authorities at Clark Air Force lias" paid the Jewish community and the Jewlvh chaplains and servicemen a unkjue tribute when they named the rebuilt gymnasiiun at the ba.se In honor of I,t. Meyer Levin of Brooklyn, one of the first Jewish heroes of World War II. Ix'adern of the Jewish community today cooperate closely with I'.SO Club in Manila and provide hospitality for Jewish GIs. The community Is beaded by Jack Harbi-rer. K. K. Siml:e MTVIS as Israeli consulgeneral. Y.v.ra Toeg h the community slioebet. Periodically, JWI'/s Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy arranges with the military for Torah" Convocations in the Pacific and the leaders of these missions provide the Manila Jewish community with a major tie to the mainstream of Jewish life. On this Mar Mitzvah year of the miracle of Manila nnd the 1-lth anniversary of Philippine Independence, the Jewish community in the Philippines is a strong Pacific outpo:;t of Jewish life l«'iv»u.'.e of Its own will to survive and be. cause Jewish servicrmen, Jewish chaplains and JWI! provide an unbreakable link with Jewry everywhere.
Liffle Stories from Here crsd There Ky David Schwartz
About Rabbi Wise Shortly after his arrival in this country, the great Yiddish Maggid. Masliansky, made a tour of the country and in Cincinnati visited Ilabbi Isaac M. Wise, the do)en of P.cfomi Judaism. "I suppose you do not like our type of Judaism," said Ilabbi Wise. "O, it's all right, I suppose," said Masliansky, "but I think in some of your Temples you have gone too far." "Mr. Masliansky, will you get up and walk to the wall," said llnbbi Wise. Maslian.sky was puzzled, but be did as directed. He walked, then stopped. "Why don't you walk further?" aslccd Ilabbi Wise. "I can't," replied Maslinnsky. "There Is the wall in front of me." "That's the way it will be with its. Some of the Temples are going too far, but the wall of life will stop them and they will have to go back." One day it was announced in the papers that' a meeting of city clergymen would be held. Rabbi Wise decided to attend. At the meeting a resolution was proposed wliich Rabbi Wise did not like. He arose to speak on the resolution. The Chairman called the rabbi to order. "This meeting was called for Protestant clei-gymen." the chairman said. "Well," sald.Kabbi Wise, "I am a clergyman nnd I protest against this, so I arn a protestant clergy, man." • • •
his tie or some other article of clothing but his most .serious ca.se of absent-mindedness was on the day lie was to lie married. He forgo! tlie hour at which the ceremony was scheduled and when the time came for the wedding they had to go looking for him. • * •
Dr. Chaim Weizmann When l/tn\ liuifoiir, the author of the J'.alfour Declaration, first became acquainted with Dr. Chaim Weizmann, he could not understand why a man of his caliber should take an interest in so old and desolate a land as Palestine then was. "Would you want to live in Saskatchewan?" asked Wf.lzmann of Halfour. "No," replied Balfonr," but we 'English have been living in England for centuries." "Well," said Weizmann, "we Jews lived in Jerusalem when I/JIJdon was a marsh." -1

Talking Horse
It was just Goldstein's luck for his car to get stalled out In the country. What could he do? He got down on his knees and began working at it. Suddenly, be hears a voice: "It's pretty bad to have your car go kaput way out here." Goldstein looked up. A horse was talking. Goldstein could not figure it out. He gazed for a while at the home then resumed his tinkering with the car. The voice spoke again: "If you go up the hill a bit, you will find my master. He may help you out." • Goldstein loplra up again at the borec, still puzzled nnd then after - Stories about the absent minded a while resumed his tinkering. Again the voice:* "You think I are legion. There is the one about Moses Mendelssohn, who, coming am just an ordinary horse, but I home one night, was met by his want you to know that I once won servant at the door. In the dark, the Kentucky Derby." the servant did not recognize him Tills was too much. Goldstein nnd said, "Herr Mendelssohn ist decided to go up the hill and see ntcht zii hausc." the horse's master. . "O, is that fo," said Mendel"I like that horse of yours," he ssohn, "well, I'll come back some told the farmer, "I will give you other time." 525 for him." "No," said the furmer. "That Dr. Cyrus Adler tells of the abscnt-mindcdneKs of Lewis N. Dem- horse is really not worth it. I Just bitz, the uncle of Louis D. Cran- keep him for sentimental reasons." "Anyway," said Goldstein, "X dcls. Dembilz was one of tlie dele- like him. I'll raise it. I'll give you gates to the Republican convention 535 for him. "Listen," said the. farmer, "I which nominated Lincoln.
