Telephone Workers
Maintain Service
In Week-End Truce
By Tom Burke

A truce between the telephone
company and its union employees
in the Washington area kept
workers on the job over the week
end but the threat of a new
walkout has not disappeared.
"The situation is pretty we'll
wrappe dup for the time being
but we can unwrap it in a
hurry" Farrell j. Beaver. special
representative for the Communi-
cations Workers of America
tCIO) said yesterday.
1t was a reminder that the
thousands of telephone workers
who stayed away from their jobs
from 6 am. Friday until 6 am,
yesterday. were told to keep their
picket signs in readiness for
any eventuality.
Both the company and the
union have stated their willing
ness to negotiate further for a
new contract to cover 1000
Washington area employees. They
have been working without
contract since June 7.
Conference Possible Today.
The possibility of a bargaining
session being scheduled for to-
morrow was suggested by union
official. A Federal mediator as
signed to work with both sides
in seeking a peaceful settlement
was not available for comment
last night.
Disagreement between the two
teams of negotiators has been
narrowed down to a small area
by concessions from both sides,
but accord on these few items
may be difficult to achieve.
On the question of a wage in
crease the negotiations opened on
an almost hopeless note last
April with the company making
no higher wage offer and the
union asking for an 8i2-cent an
hour increase. Since then con-
cesSion from both sides have
resulted in the present position
of the company offering increases
ranging from $1.50 to $3.50 a
week and the union reducing its
demand to a range of from 81
to SO weekly.
Early Demands SOftened.
The company said it was put
in an impossible position" at
the beginning of negotiations
when the union representatives
presented their demands for
more than 100 contra ct
changes" The union said it's
position was equally impossible
because those changes suggested
by the company were retro
gresSive."
In the months of bargaining
which have elapsed many of the
union proposals and some of the
company contemporaries have
been withdrawn.
The negotiators no whave on
the table a handful of union
proposals and only three COM
pany proposals in addition to
the wage dispute.
Included are the unions de-
mandS for changes in holiday
and vacation policies. shortening
of the wage progression scale
from eight to six years, a 7la-
hour day for operators now on
the 8-hour day. automatic con-
tract renewal and a job reclassi-
f1cation plan affecting 800 en-
ployeS.
On the management side two
changes are proposed in the
grievance procedure and one in
the emergency call-out clause.

Maj Divorce
Ruled Invalid

FRANKFURT, (JTA) = A di-
vorce is not considered as fully
valid if the Gentle wife obtained
it while her Jewish husband was a
prisoner in a concentration camp,
the Supreme Administrative Court
of Hesse ruled in rejecting the ap-
peal of the State Minister of JUS
tice against a similar decision
reached by a lower court.
In 1943, Helene Mann, of Kassel,
filed suit for divorce, giving as the
reason her husbands Jewish des-
cent. For the sake of his family,
the latter, who was then in a Nazi
camp, formally acquiesced in the
proceedings. The divorce, once
granted, automatically cancelled
the protection against deportation
which his mixed marriage had af-
forded him. He was, in conse-
quence, promptly shipped to the
gas chambers of AuschwitZ.
Mrs. Mann now claims the in
Identification and inheritance bene-
fits due the widow of a Nazi VIC
tim, arguing that she only bowed
to Nazi pressure and, as Roman
Catholic, had always considered
the union with her husband an es-
Sentially indiSSoluble one.

Israel Honors
Dead Leader

TEL AVN, (JTA) - President
Itzhak Ben wi formally dedicated
last week the Weizmann Memorial
area at Rehovoth known as Yad
Weizmann, in the opening of a
week of ceremonies connected with
the observance of the first ami
verSary of the death of DR.. Chain
Weizmann, first President of Is
rael.
November is being observed as a
memorial month throughout the
country.
President Ben Xvi laid wreath
on the grave of DR.. Weizmann, af-
ter a pilgrimage to the tomb by
members of the family and close
friends of the late President.
Several hundred school children
journeyed to the grave later in a
torchlight parade. Religious SER
vices were held at the graveside.
The memorial area was form
ally opened when Mrs. Vera Weiz-
mann cut ribbon across road
leading to the grounds from the
nearby Tel Aviv-Rehovoth highway.
This ceremony was followed by a
memorial assembly on the grounds,
addressed by Premier David Ben
Gurion.
Archive Planned
The project of constructing the
central monument and other build
ings in the memorial area is ex-
pected to take from five to seven
years to complete. Beside various
scientific establishments, the mem
orial park will include an archive
of Weizmann papers and a tomb
which will be constructed in the
form of a cave-much like the
tomb of the ancient Israelite kings.

Jewish Vote

LONDON, (JTA) 1.-THE Jewish
vote in New York has had para
lying affect on the United Nations
in its dealing with Palestine" DR..
Cyril Garbett, Archbishop of York,
charged at a DIOCESAN conference.
The archbishop declared that the
civilized world has been Mortified"
by the destruction of Kibya and the
killing of men, women and children
by regular forces of Israel" He
also attacked the Israelites for
transferring their foreign office to
Jerusalem and insisted that the
situation in Palestine "iS profound
ly unsatisfactory" particularly as
far as the Arab refugees are con-
cerned.
He demanded strong" action by
the UN, warning that unless the
present tension is lesSened, it will
"snap and the Middle East will be
ablaze. AS long as the future OF
Jerusalem remains uncertain and
there are tens of thousands of en-
bittered Arab refugees on the other
side of the frontier, there can be
no real peace" he declared.

US. Druws Fire
CONTINUED from rage u


"The United States voted for the
resolution concerning genocide as
the best way of showing that the
United States abhors the crime of
genocide. Our vote is not a COM
mitment as to the timing of action
by the United States on the geno-
eide convention, either on behalf
of the executive or legislative
branch. Neither is it Judgment
against possible reservations de-
signed to clarity the convention and
assure its conformity with the
United States Federal system Of
justice.
Furthermore, the United States
does not interpret the resolution as
authorizing propaganda in the
United States in relation to a mat
ter pending before the United
States Senate"
Lehman Critical
The statement prompted US. Sen.
Herbert Lehman O.-N.Y.) to
charge the government with at
tempting ito dictate" to the UN
Secretary General how to act on
the genocide convention.
This seems to be another in
stance in which the administration
not only failed to give leadership
within the United Nations but dis
credits its own leadership by an
attempt to dictate to the Secretary
General what he may or may not
do to carry out the directive of the
General Assembly," Lehman said.

EShkOl Mentioned
Ben Gurion, however, began ne
gotiations with the four General
Zionist members of the cabinet on
the reorganization of the govern
ment following his retirement.
1t was understood that the Cen
eral Zionists do not oppose Levi
EShkol as the next premier. but
they insist that he surrender the
finance portfolio which he now
holds; EShkol will not agree. In q
statement to the Jewish Telegraph
ic Agency, Eshkol said that he had
told Premier Ben Gurion, as well as
the central committee of the Mapai
Party, that he was not ready to
accept the premiership.
DR.. Nahum Goldman, comment
ing on reports in the Israel press
that he has been designated for the
post of foreign minister by his
party with the support of various
groups in Israel, told the JTA he
