Bomb Trial

ATLANTA, Ga. (JTA)-An anti
Semitic skirrnish over jury selec-
ton marked the opening of the
Superior Court trial of five men
charged with bombing the Jewish
temple here Oct. IL.
The five accused are Wallace H.
Allen. George A. Bright, Kenneth
Griffin, Robert Bowling, and Rich
ard Bowling. They have been held
without bond since their Indictment
for the bombingS last october.
Defense attorneys sought by sub
poena action to obtain a complete
membership list of B'nai Birth in
Georgia on the grounds that it
would aid them in challenging pros
pective jurors. The move was ap-
parently aimed at disqualifying
Jews from service on the jury.
Judge Durwood T. Pye ruled
against the defense attorneys on
the ground that their subpoena did
not name the B'nai Birth. The at
torneys had asked for the Georgia
membership of the Anti-Defama-
ton League. Arthur j. Levin, ADJ
southeastern director, took the
stand to explain that the ADJ has
only one member in Georgia, whom
he identified as Abe GoldStein. Le-
vim agreed to supply the names OF
all ADJ officers and employees in
Georgia.
Attorney James R. Venable ask
ed Levin if the ADJ had not con-
tributed $500. to a reward for the
arrest and conviction of the syna-
gogue bombings. Levin explained
that the ADJ had not, but B'nai
Birth had. He sought to clarity the
relationship of the ADJ and its par
ent organization, B'nai Birth, as
the defense attorneys sought to
equate the two.
The anti-Semitism of defense at
torneys was such that Judge Pye
was prompted to declare that the
Jewish people as a group were not
on trial but five non-Jews accused
of terrorism. This observation re-
buffing defense attorneys was
prompted by Venable's allegation

interlocked and owned and operat-
ed by the Jewish race"
A defense motion to quaSh indict-
ments of the five accused men was
overruled by Judge Pye. The judge
pointed out that defense attorneys
contended, in effect, state law pro-
vides ''open season" on synagogues
for bomberS.
Judge Pye held that Georgia law
providing death penalty in some
bombings applied in the current
case against the five accused. He
thus made known that he consider
ed the crimes charged OF such
gravity that he could impose death
sentences.
Defense attorneys had claimed
that the indictments were void be-
cause state statutes do no specifi-
cally mentioned mouses OF worship
among buildings protected by the
law against bombing. Judge Pye
interpreted the law as including
churches and synagogues.

started as a collection of tin hutS
and prefabs. Today, nice concrete
houses were ready before the first
settlers moved in.
IN EDMIT, where almost all the
boys and girls are in their late
teens and early 20, all of them
single except for one quite young
couple with baby, housing is in
charming two-story houses, four
two-room apartments in each
house. At present three boys or
three girls occupy each apartment.
Later on each VIII be occupied by
a married couple.
But the most Impressive thing
about Edmit is it's location. Perch
ed on a mountain top like an
eagles nest, it is approachable by
4-mile serpentine road climbing
up along spectacular canyons.
Contrasting with this majestic
splendor of nature is the grim
barbed wire fence surrounding the
settlement, located only few hum
dred yards from, the border. Dur
ing the past 10 years the Lebanese
border has been quiet, but after
the recent attempts by Nasserist
elements to take over that country,
it was apparently decided to bring
new settlements into that area
just in case.
PRIOR TO BECOMING farmers
on their own, the youngsters of
Edmit spent about year in old
er, well established kibbutzim in
the same region, where they could
learn agriculture on land similar
to what is now their domain. Each
morning truckload of farmers
drives down to the valley where
they have several hundred acres
mostly contributed from their own
land by the neighboring older kib-
butzim-growing field crops. The
rest of their lands are on the slopes
of the hills around their settle
ments. Now they are preparing the
soil for planting fruit orchards and
vineyards.
Dovev, a few scores of miles to
the east, is also right on the Le-
banese border. Here again barbed

wire surrounds the settlement,
neatly planned to become a small
town in the future. In the center
are the public buildings of the
community: the school, the synago-
que, the store, the dispensary and
the cultural center. Surrounding
these buildings are the new 214
room houses.
THE FIRST ARRIVALS have al
ready moved into their houses.
Soon more families will move in.
What makes Dovev particularly
interesting is the fact that all its
inhabitants settled here within the
framework of the From The Town
To The Land movement. All are
immigrants from NortL Africa who
lived for several years in the more
over-crowded parts of the ancient
city of Acre.
The youngsters of Edmit are all
happy with no complaints, while
the settlers of Dovev have more
complaints than they can mention.
This is typical enough. In kbbut-
zim the material problems are not
pressing and considered important
during the first period of enthusi-
asm. The social problems of such
a tight-living community emerge
only later. In a moshav, on the
other hand, material problems
seem at first overwhelming, but
slowly things are solved and the
community pattern crystalizes in
to a living, striving village.

positions.
Both Judge Ketcham and
Inspector Winters pointed out
that the dispositions forwarded
by the court are to be used only
by authorized detectives on Off
cial business. Only dispositions
on cases originating in the Po-
lice Department will be for
warded.
The inspector said the action
will help in both the solution
of crimes and the preparation
Of Juvenile Division cases.
Will Not Brand Child
BY knowing the disposition Of
past cases. detectives will learn
how to prepare better cases, he
said. They will be better able
to judge what constitutes suffi-
Gent or insufficient evidence in
the Juvenile Court.
Il sincerely believe the jul
venile will not get hurt in this
process. For some, it will be
better" the Judge said.
He pointed out that many
juveniles are accused of crimes
such as car theft. Later the
court may dismiss the case, but
because the disposition has not
been made known to police, the
Police Juvenile. Division files
still show the original accu-
Sation.
The dispositions. he con-
tinued. will not follow a child
throughout his life because
they are made known to police.
"They are to help in law en-
forcement only" Judge Ketch-
am said.
OOue PROVISION Clteu
He noted a section of the
District Code as amended in
1852 which makes unauthorized
release of these dispositions a
misdemeanor, A violator could
be punished upon conviction
with a fine Of 500 or 80 days
In Jail or both.
The code makes release of
these records largely dependent
upon the Juvenile Court judges
discretion, but it confines the
information to interested per-
sons, institutions or agencies. {"
1t makes special provision
for social records of personal
and family information gath
cred by the courts social
workers. These records will not
be available to police, Judge
Ketcham said.
The key difference between
the stands of former Judge
Cockrill and Judge Ketcham is
centered in the section of the
code which gives the judge the
discretion to release records.
Judge Cockrill feared releas-
ing the dispositions to police
might harm the child involved.
Judge Ketcham feels the in
formation will get no further
than the police and will help
in law enforcement.
