Count Women
In ''Minydn''

NEW YORK, (JTA)-Breaking
with centuries of Jewish religious
tradition, the Society for the Ad-
vancement of Judaism, a New
York congregation headed by DR..
Mordecai Kaplan-leader of the
Reconstructionist movement-has
decided to count women in Min
yam and to call them to the Torah
during Sabbath services.
DR.. Kaplan confirmed the fact
that the congregation voted lover
whelmingly, nearly unanimously"
to include women among the ira
ditional quorum of ten Jews-the
minimum number needed to con-
duct group religious services. The
issue had been discussed for
months before the final vote, DR..
Kaplan said.
The congregations action was
taken, in line with its desire to
have Jewish women play great
er role in the advancement of the
Jewish community and in Jewish
education. Calling up women to
the Torah, was seen by members
as a token of responsibility for
women for the continuation of
Jewish unity, the Jewish future
and Jewish education.

Belgian Cabinet
Quits in Fight
Over Leopold
Eyskens Regime Falls
After Liberals Refuse
To Support Return
By the Associofed Press

BRUSSELS. Mar. 18. Bel
GUMS coalition government COL
lapsed today in dramatic dem
onstration of how badly this ma
tion is split over whether exiled
King Leopold III should be re-
turned to his throne.
Premier CASTOR Eyskens' cab
inet-made of eight Liberals and
nine members of his own So
cial Christian (Catholic) Party
quit after the Liberal members
refused to support a move to
recall the monarch from Switzer-
land and resigned.
A spokesman for Mr.. Eyskens,
who has been Premier since last
August. Immediately announced
that, because of this. the govern
ment's resignation would be pre-
sented to Prince Charles, the rul-
ing regent.
Charles is a brother of Leopold
and the next step in the crisis is
up to him. He will have to try
to find a new premier to form a
cabinet for the purpose of ham
ding the question of Leopold's fu-
.ture. which can only be settled
by Parliament. Parliament can
be summoned into session only by
a responsible cabinet.
Leopold Asks Quick Action.
Parliament's legal responsibility
arises out of law of July, 1945,
which says the King can be re-
turned only by a majority vote of
that body. The King himself won
57.68 per cent of the vote in an
advisory referendum last Sunday
and Thursday he said he thought
it was up to Parliament to act
without further delay. He said he
would abdicate If Parliament re-
fused. in a vote. to recall him.
That would make his son, Bau-
doin, 10, King. In Switzerland
today there was no immediate
comment from the King concern
ing the cabinets fall.
The difficulty is that, while the
Flemings of Belgium want Leopold
back and voted heavily for that
solution last Sunday, the French
speaking Walloons gave him only
40.2 per cent of their vote. This,
many politicians here declare, is
Ia demonstration that Leopold does
not represent the unity of his peo-
pie. as a king should.
The controversy dates back to
King Leopold's surrender to the
Germans after only 18 days of
fighting in 1910 and to his mar
riage to a commoner, a Fleming
His first wife. Queen Astrid, died
in an automobile accident in 1895.

The black market rated the East

the value of the West mark. But
East German officials continued to
maintain that the East mark &C

In actual exchanges between
the two zones. however, the East

more than one-fourth the West

the new $50 to 900 rate would be
