Several of the rabbinical
meetings have given atten-
ton to Intermarriage, which
is taking place on a national
and unprecedented scale.
The rabbis would discOur-
age and disadvise any mar
rage out of the faith. The
experience everywhere is that
marriage between people Of
varying faiths faces many
obstacles.
The rabbis look with sus-
piciOn upon conversions for
the sake of marriage of q Jew.
Those conversions, arranged
solely for the sake of mar
rage In a Jewish service,
are rarely true or sincere.
They do not represent q fun
damental change of religious
conviction through patient
study.
Conversions, following long
study, and arising from deep
religious conviction (and with
out intention of early mar
riage to a jew are valid in
Jewish life.
When a Jew marries out of
the faith, to one who has been
converted, it is called a mixed
marriage. Statistically, it can
be reported as marriage of
Jew to Jew. For all practical
purposes, it is still an inter-
marriage.
The rabbiS did not con-
slider another complication.
Suppose that a couple have
been married in a civil SER
vice, have lived together as
husband and wife for several
years, and then seek religious
conservation to their marriage
and have proved through the
years their determination to
be Jews. Should the rabbi
then take part?
The American rabbis must
decline to participate if the
couple has no intention of be-
ing Jewish.

Some Radio Bands
To Smaller Nations #
BY the Asseeiotsd prsss

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 1e,-The
United States offered today to join
with other major powers In giving
up some short wave broadcasting
bands to smaller nations.
William Benton, Assistant Secre-
tary OF State for Public Affairs, made
the proposal before the Interna-
tional High Frequency Broadcasting
Conference attended by delegates
from more than go nations.
THE United States" he said, lis
willing to reduce its transmitters
and are willing to accept fewer fres
quencles than we are now using. If
other nations will do the same all
of us should be able to obtain fair
and equitable share in the available
frequencies."
Mr.. Benton urged all countries to
refrain from using the airways for
spreading lies and distortion and
for engaging in international SIAN
der"
Ee said that when the "rare and
precious world asset-an interna-
tional broadcast frequency-is de-
based and polluted, We are all of us
infected and the disease is hard to
combat"
Mr.. Benton added that approxi-
mately rs per cent of the worlds
population "regrettably lives today
under some degree of censorship and
radio offers the surest means of
reaching the individual with infor-
nation direct from its source and
without intervening selection, pro-
cessing, slanting or suppression"

Defeat for Netherlands
Seen in u. N. Dispute

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 16 (P.-
The Netherlands today appeared
headed toward another major defeat
in its battle to avoid United Nations
action in the Indonesian dispute.
A survey of Security Council dele
gates indicated a majority was de-
termined to keep the case in the
Councils hands, despite vigorous
Dutch protests.
Involved Is a broad legal issue: Is
the Security Council competent, un-
der terms of the U. N. Charter, to
handle the case?
DR.. Eelco N. van Kleffens, Meth
erlands representative, has argued
in almost every meeting that the
Indonesian republic is not sover-
eign state and that the dispute, for
that reason, Is not an international
problem. .,ta.ta4 .ts
The Council so far has sidestepped
a decision on this question, but it
appeared showdown might come
next Thursday when the Council re-
sumes its debate.
Council President Faris Ell Khoury
OF Syria ruled yesterday that the
question would be kept on the agen-
da until 1t was dropped by formal
action of the Council. He pointed
out. however, that no delegate has
yet moved to support the Neither
lands demands.
The Netherlands is not a member
OF the Council and thus is not in a
position to offer a motion or reso.
