JACK TELL S NEWSPAPER OH HOW WE DANCED W RABBI GOLD INSTALLED MAN OF THE HOUR ON WAY TO HIS APPOINTMENT j ^ B A IvHHH Pnoto/rama RITA AND RABBI, A SYMPHONY OF BEAUTY AND HAP-PINESS! Frankfurter Dies, Son of Poor Rabbi WASHINGTON, (JTA) ? Private funeral services were for Justice Felix Frankfurter at the Frankfurter apartment here as the nation mourned the passing of the immigrant from Vienna who became a great exponent of constitutional law. President Johnson attend-ed the rites as did Abba Eban, Israel's Deputy Prime Min-ister. In accordance with a last request of the jurist, Professor Louis Henkin of Columbia University Law Schoo, recited the Kaddish at the service. It was under-stood that the prayer had been chosen not for relig- ? ious reasons but to symbol-ize the traditional ties the Justice felt for his Jewish heritage. No rabbi took part in the rights because of the late Justice's wish not to be formally identified with Jud-aism as a religious creed. Prof. Paul Freund offered a moving eulogy. Justice Frankfurter died February 23 of heart illness, the disease which caused his retirement from the Sup-reme Court in 1962. He was 82. The President, in paying tribute, said he was "grieved to learn of the passing of my friend, Justice Frankfurter, who did so much to preserve YAHRZEITS TONIGHT AT BETH SHOLOM T o n i g h t F r i d a y March N a t h a n Sorkin freedom through wise inter-pretation of the law.

Dr. Ewald Bucher, the West Ger-man Justice Minister who has been the most obdurate foe of extension of the stat-ute of limitations for the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, was reported to have been a one-time leader of the Hitler Youth. It was also revealed here that he had been suspended from the German bar for six years after the war. The disclosures were made at a mass meeting convened by a number of Belgian Jew-ish, Zionist, Resistance and other movements inisting on the extension of the statute of limitations in West Germ-any. A resolution demanding the continuation of the statute was voted unanimously for transmittal to both the Bel-gian and West German Gov-ernments. Installation Weekend As Seen From Bemah BY Claire Dase To say the installation of Rabbi Aaron S. Gold, will go down in the annals of the Jewish history of the Las Vegas Community, would be writing it off very briefly, for if the ancient tradition is lived up to, it will be only through a peculiar twist of fate, that there will be another install-ation for the Temple or it's members for many manv years to come, God willing.

To a crowded Temple, Dr. Max Voorspam explained the marriage contract, as he re-ferred it to be, of a Rabbi (the groom) and the congre-gation (the bride). The tra-ditional "Git", the most an-cient of Jewish marriage contracts was mentioned as a parallel with similar res-ponsibilities by both parties. He explained the limits to be expected from all parties involved in the marriage ce-remony.

A book entitled "Americais in Danger" was published by a noted Mexican anti-Sem-itic writer, Salvador Borrego, accusing the Jewish people of imperiling all of America. Borrego, a staff member of the influential daily newspaper, Excelsoir, was the author of a violently anti-Semitic work issued shortly after the conclusion of World War II. In that diatribe, he called Nazi Germany's collapse a "catastrophe," and adduced data "proving" that the Jews had started the war and were at fault for the Nazi defeat. That book has gone through sever-al editions and has been circulated widely throughout Latin America. d ROME, (JTA) ? President Sarragat received a delegation of Italian Jewish leaders and in a cordial conversation expressed interest and understanding for the problems of Italian Jewry. The delegation included Judge Sergio Piper - no, president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, Rome Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff, and other officials of the Union. WASHINGTON, (JTA) ? Rep. Ogden R. Reid, New York Republican, introduced a bill which would liberalize im-migration laws by abolishing the discriminatory national origins quota system and her reforms. He said that "for too long we have been content to permit a discriminatory and outdated law be the basis of immigration into the Uni-ted States." NEW YORK, (JTA) ? Some 700 high school students, most of them members of synagogues in New Jersey, held a demonstration near the United Nations in protest against Soviet treatment of the Jews in Russia. They included 40 Negro youth. NEW YORK, (JTA) ? The Council of Jewish Federa-tions and Welfare Funds urged the Federal Government to take a major step in the War on Poverty by strengthening the nation's public welfare program. Louis Stern and Phil-ip Bernstein, CJFWF president and executive director respectively, reported to a governmental advisory group their deep concern "with the broad and basic needs which are beyond the capacity of voluntary agencies to meet, and which require the resources of the entire nation, though government."

Frankfurter (Continued from I'ago 1) en, other members of the Supreme Court, leaders of both houses of Congress, and Zionist and other Jewish leaders in this country and abroad. The son of a poor Jewish immigrant who descended from six generations of rab-bis and scholars, young Felix grew up on the Lower East Side of New York. While att-ending public school, he helped the family by selling newspapers and doing odd jobs. He later graduated with honors from City College of New York at 19, and worked as a clerk for the New York Tenement House Commiss-ion, saving his income to be able to enroll in the Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1906 as an honor student and editor of the Law Review. In 1914, he was appointed a member of the faculty of the Harvard Law School on the recommendation of Louis D. Brandeis, then an eminent attorney and later an Assoc-iate Justice of the Supreme Court. Frankfurter's record as a legal genius and later, as a great teacher, attracted the attention of President Taft and later of President Wilson. He was sent on im-portant missions abroad by Wilson' Secretary of State Robert Lansing.. When the Versailles Peace Conference was held in 1919 Frankfurter was the legal adviser to the Zionist del-egation there. He engaged in correspondence with Emir Feisal, who headed the Arab delegation at that Conference and later became the King of Iraq. This resulted in the writing by Feisal of an im-portant letter to Frankfur-ter, on March 3, 1919, which became a historic document. The Arab ruler said in his letter to Mr. Frankfurter: "We Arabs, especially the educated among us, look with the deepest sympathy on the Zionist movement. Our dep-utation here in Paris is fully acquainted with the propos-als submitted by the Zionist Organization to the Peace Conference, and we regard them as moderate and pro-per. We will do our best, in so far as we are concern-ed, to help them through: we will wish the Jews a most hearty welcome home. "With the chiefs of your movement, expecially with Dr. Weizmann we have had and continue to have the closest relations. He has been a great helper of our cause, and I hope the Arabs may soon be in a position to make the Jews some re-turn for their kindness. We are working together for a reformed and revived Near East, and our two movements complete one another. The Jewish movement is national and not imperialist. Our movement is national and not imperialist, and there is room in Syria for us Protest Arms Stoppage LONDON, (JTA) ? Fresh protests against West Germ-any's cancelation of arms shipments to Israel were voiced in various countries. The Board of Deputies of British Jews adopted a res-olution deploring the decis-ion of the West German Gov-ernment "to surrender to Nasser's terms and to ter-minate the agreement for security aid to Israel essent-ial for the country's defense. "For the Bonn authorities to be prepared to imperil the vital interests of Israel-threatened with annihilation, and whose population includ-es many survivors of the Nazi holocaust?and for Is-rael to be treated as a mere pawn in the current policy of West and East Germany is an affront to the conscience of mankind," the resolution declared. It added that the Bonn policy, if carried out, "would be a breach of faith and a shortsighted act of appeasement, with possible serious consequences for the peace of the Middle East." The resolution expressed the hope that "the democrat-ic forces in Germany will induce their Government to reconsider the consequences of abject surrender to black-mail and of the precipitate action which has shocked the Jewish people and gen-eral public opinion in many parts of the world." In Rome, Judge Sergio Israeli President Lauds Frankfurter JERUSALEM, (JTA) ? President Zalman Shazar paid tribute this week to Felix Frankfurter, recalling the late former Supreme Couft Justice's work for th^ Zionist movement and his "considerable political aid" to Israel in "its most diff-icult hour." President Sha-zar made the tribute at a farewell reception for Sup-reme Court Justice Yitzhak Olshan who has reached the ment age of 70. Justice Ol-shan recalled that in 1948, when the Israel Supreme Court issued its first ruling, Justice Frankfurter asked for the complete text of the judgment and later praised it as an example of juris-prudence. Piperno, president of the Union of Italian Jewish Com-munities, called on the West German Ambassador to tr-ansmit a statement of Italian Jewry's "profound regret" over West Germany's yield-ing to President Nasser of Egypt on the arms to Israel suspension. In Holland, a protest of the arms suspension was sent to the West German envoy at The Hague by the Dutch Ash-kenazi, Shephardi and Liber-al Jewish communities, who said that the West German "breach of promise" would lead to a weakening of an Israel threatened by the Arab countries. both. Indeed I think that neither can be a real succ-ess without the other." For nearly 45 years, the authenticity of that state-ment by Emir Feisal was disputed by Arab leaders. Two months ago, the orig-inal of that Feisal letter to Frankfurter was discovered in the files of the Jewish Agency offices in London. Frankfurter had been with the Brandeis-Mack leader-ship inside the Zionist Org-anization of America, al-though he resigned from that group later when he disagr-eed with some of the Brand-eis- Mack policies.

The Dutch Government sent a message to the West German Government, urging Bonn to extend the German statute of limitations for the prosecu-tion of Nazi war criminals beyond the present cut-off date of May 8, 1965. At the same time, the Dutch Government offered to furnish all documents the Dutch have telated to Nazi outrages committed in this country during the German occupation of Holland. JERUSALEM, (JTA) ?

The dignitaries walked down the center aisle, took their places, and the cere-monies began. Govorner Sawyer's addre-ss "The State and Spiritual Leadership", wasdirect, cl-ear and precise, which has always been his policy, and was received with apprecia-tion and nods of approval. Dr. Leiber's installation add-ress, only went to point out even more that the previous speakers of the past, how much it means to all con-cerned to work together, and for each other, with the main goal being the betterment of the Temple and it's great ad-vantages. He mentioned that as such, a Temple is not just a place to go in times of trouble, but a place in which to gather strength, joy and understanding for the ways of life and the Jewish faith. He told the congreg-ants of the known qualities of Rabbi Gold, and his lovely wife Rita, and of the pleas-ure he himself had derived while visiting with their four daughters. Rabbi Gold's prayer before the Ark, left many with tears, hopes and a bet-ter understanding of what we have been so luckily endowed with. A man of high ideals. A man who is willing to give of himself, with just a small prayer, that in return, some RELIGION AND STATE WORK TOGETHER of his hopes and aspiritations has long been outstretched, will be fullfilled. A man whose faith in the Almighty is so great, that along with placing his life in His hands, he is willing to place his complete faith in the One on High's helping him with the task before him. Let us not let him down, for in the comparitively sho-rt period he has been among us, he has already made tre-mendous strides towards bigger and better things for our Temple and our child-ren. Now he is not, as Dr. Max Voorspan said previou-sly, a "common-law" Rabbi. He is truly and definetely part and parcel of the people of Temple Beth Sholom, to guide, to share, to lead spir-itually, and to help each and everyone of us whenever and where ever he can. His hand and some have held out theirs, for these who have had any doubts, now is the time to cast them aside, and to start to work, hand in hand, with our own Rabbi Gold, for in doing so, they will learn low wonderful it is to be clos to their God, to their relig n, and to their Temple.

Temple Library Is Born Editorial FOR GOD'S SAKE LET S BE SENSIBLE A series of coincidental events have taken place the past few weeks which may be interpreted by some members of our Congregation as a sign of trouble brewing in the upper echelons of Tempie Beth Sholom. Nothing could be further from the truth. Differences of opinion, yes. Views exchanged on pro-cedure and operation, yes. Heated discussion on operations, yes. But there is no serious disruption of the excellent re-lationship between the most outstanding Rabbi in the entire world and the hardest working, sincerest, most dedicated Board of Directors of any Temple anywhere. Take our work for it. Anyone doubt we've got a Rabbi without peer? After two weeks of Sejmons delivered by guest Rabbis, both excellent speakers who knew their business. Rabbi Aaron S. Gold returned to talk on "The Rabbi and the Shmoo." With no reflection on the visiting speakers, Rabbi Gold proved he is an outstanding oratorical gem among the highest caliber of precious speaking jewels.. The rabbi talked at length and in detail on the respective duties of his office as Spiritual advisor and guide and the responsibilities of those who run the business end of the Temple. As is his wont and perhaps one of the main rea-songjylw he has gained absolute and unqualified respect of each and every member of the entire congregation, the Rabbi did not qualify his utterances. He spoke directly from the heart, without fear or favor. He pulled no punches. Last Friday, as a preliminary to the Installation Cere-mony Sunday, Dr. Max Vorspan, dean of School of Fine Arts at the University of Judaism, delivered the guest Sermon. This excellent speaker's topic was on the relative respon-sibilities of the Rabbi and his congregants. Coming so soon after Rabbi Gold's talk the week previous on the same sub-ject, the rumors became compounded and hardly one among us was without trepidation of impending disruption on top. Since the Rabbi is but one man and the Board of Direct-ors is composed of eighteen, which may incur varied opin-ions and diversified views, this writer asked the Rabbi what's going on? Rabbi Gold, unquestionably one of the few among us who is closest to the person Diogenes sought, explained simply, and without complicated ramifications. "Every now and then," our good Rabbi pointed out, "it becomes necessary to explain the responsibilities that exist and clash, between the Spiritual and business ends of a Synagogue." Rabbi Gold assured this writer, and we by JOAN WEISMAN Our Temple Beth Sholom Library is now one week old. We feel it is time for the story of its birth to be told. Like a parent filled with wondering hope we did begin our yearning To create from a secluded room a place for culture and learning. We viewed a room of books and clutter, but did not feel dismay Because we felt with earnest desire we would eventually reach completion day. That time did arrive and a Library was born - It did not matter that we were tired and worn. When Religious School children came with smiling faces, Thrilled by the books we displayed You can really believe we felt well repaid. We heard that the Talmud Class studied in this atmos-phere of learning, and we realized that many adults for books have a yearning. The lifeless room suddenly was no more, as young and old came through the door. The books which had lain for years in a heap Would shout for joy if they could speak. But, remember when something is newly born it must be nurtured with love and attention So use your Library and read a lot And it will neVer return to being a dirty, lifeless and lonely spot. ? ? ? ? ?

Beaming Board MELODY LINGERS ON The song is over but the melody lingers on, was the title to a hit tune several years back. Well folks, the Installation of Rabbi Aaron S. Gold was planned to perfection. It happened almost without a hitch. It ended in a blaze of glory with hundreds of beaming per-sons congratulating each other on the success of the event. And there were nothing but satisfied, happy faces leaving Temple Beth Sholom humming the strains of the tune being played by Morry King's fine troupe of violinists. Last week we answered: Why an Installation after a Rabbi has already taken office and has been most effectively at work for at least nine months? Almost a thousand were in attendance. They know now, Why an Installation? Others who could not make it will hear also about the affair and will understand also, Why an Installation? But we cannot help but wonder if all of our Faith, whether in attendance or not, fully realize the extent of the effect last Sunday's celebration had and will continue to maintain on Jewish relationship with others in the Las Vegas area. Whether the idea for the installation stemmed from the Board of Directors, the Rabbi, George Katz of the Men's Club or Alene Heplerofthe Sisterhood, matters little. What ?does matter is the lasting impression planted in the minds of citizens at large in our community. To illustrate, we'll tell you a story of how a germ of an idea sprouted into a tremendously important event bringing incalculable good will and thousands of dollars in contributions towards a very worthy cause. Several years back we were publicity director for the New York Cardiac Center, which was in the final stages of completing a million and a half dollar rest home on the former Untermyer Estate overlooking the Hudson River in Yonkers. President of this charitable organization was Sam Brisk-man, a multi-millionaire by virtue of having invented the pinking shears. Much like our own Fran and Carl Cohen, Kay and Harry Wallerstein, Jack Entratter, Jerry Mack, Max and A1 Goot, Commissioner and Mrs. Harry Levy, Judge David Zenoff and so many, many others in our com-, munity, Briskman's heart and soul and all his time was devoted to the interests of his noble cause. i assure our readers and the congregation at large that no serious rift exists between him and the respected leaders of our Temple. Rabbi Gold had not discussed the subject of Dr. Vorspan's talk, prior to the guest speaker's appearance. It was purely coincidental. In fact, after discussion with men of much higher authority on the subject than this writer, it is firmly established that Dr. Vorspan probably made the same address on numerous previous occasions. (The delightftil talk, which compared a Rabbi and his congregation with the marriage of a man and wife, will be discussed in this space at some future time.) But right now the most important thought to get across is that all is serene and the ugly rumors should vanish. We make it a practice never to take the Lord's name in vain, but it is so applicable here, we'll publish the plea "For God's Sake, Let's be Sensible."

One afternoon, in response to a phone call, we dropped into his office. He informed us of a day, a week later, when the contractor for the new building was going to turn over the key to the completed home. "Let's get a group of the more active officers of the center," suggested Harry, "and with a bottle of schnapps, we'll congratulate ourselves and toast the occasion." "We'll do no such thing," we practically screamed at him. The turning over of a key is an important ceremony, we impressed upon Briskman. Its much like the burning of a mortgage of a church or the laying of a cornerstone in a hospital. It's a tremendous occasion. It's a milestone. "All right already," he surrendered. Then he asked, suspiciously, "How much will it cost?" "Allocate a budget of, oh, $150," we replied, "and see if we don't get you $10,000 or more." He said, "okay" and the rest was easy. Embossed invitations were
