Isorni, a right-wing politician and lawyer, has filed a libel suit against Father George de Nantes, a Roman Catholic priest who heads an ultra-right splinter group from the church. In his suit he says that unless the court finds the priest guilty it "will be justifying him for preaching the massacre of Jews." ' GENEVA (WNS) — After several weeks of crisis the ■ International Credit Bank of Geneva, whose chairman is Jewish financier Tibor Rosenbaum, has closed and its board of directors have asked a Geneva court to decree a payments moratorium. The court can impose the moratorium if the bank's assets are sufficient or it can find it insolvent and declare it bankrupt and,ap¬ point an official receiver to wind, up its business. Meanwhile in Israel the Knesset Finance Committee plans a full debate on the heavy investment of the ■ Israel Corporation, a holding company backed by - North American and European Jews, which invested heavily in the bank. There is also some fear in Israel that the Rosenbaum crisis could endanger some of Israel's largest industrial enterprises because of the IC investments. NEW YORK (WNS) — Tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews demonstrated in support of Soviet Jewry. in rallies in nearly 50 cities across the country.. The events which focussed on the problems of freedom of emigration, harassment, the Prisoners of Conscience, ,. and the closing of the synagogue in the Moscow suburb of Tomillno were under the auspices nationally of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry,and coordinated by the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. In New York City; an estimated 15,000 gathered for four hours in a city-wide Simhat.Torah - Succoth "Festival of Freedom", which had as its theme, "One Torah, One People". Congress Succeeding In Pruning, Slashing, Eliminating Foreign Aid To Several Countries by Murray Zuckoff NEW YORK, (JTA) - A rebellious and generally anti-Administration Con¬ gress has succeeded in pruning, slashing and in some cases eliminating foreign aid grants ranging from fertilizers to military hardware to several coun¬ tries in the past three weeks. The action by members in both the Senate and House came after their anger was aroused by the disclosure that the CIA had played a nefarious role in helping to topple the Chilean- govern¬ ment of President Salvador Addende Gossens in Sept., 1973. Some of this anger turned to fury with disclosures that Turkey's invadon of Cyprus last July was made possible with arms purchased under U.S. military aid. Despite war¬ nings from President Ford and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger that foreign aid slash.es would undermine America's foreign relations, and especially endanger U.S. efforts to help work out a settlement between Turkey and Cyprus, many Congressmen from both major parties wielded their legislative grappling hooks to mutilate foreign aid credits and grants to Turkey, Chile and i South Vietnam. ; The Congressional ob¬ jections to U.S. aid, par¬ ticularly to Turkey, has forced Kissinger to cancel his plans to visit Ankara in the first stage of an attempt to mediate the Turkish- Cypriote dispute. It also has drawn fire from Ford who threatened to veto pending' Community Is Invited To Town Hall Meeting The quality and concerns of life in the Jewish com¬ munity will be one of the many areas of discussion at the second annual Town Hall Meeting of the Columbus Jewish Federation to be held at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Oc- tover 20th at the Beth Jacob Synagogue. The program is designed to focus attention upon the problems and issues con¬ fronting the Columbus Jewish Community. The" topics will cover the areas of The Aged, The Jewish Family, Jewish Education and Overseas Concerns. ' Everyone is welcome and urged to attend this unusual event. A part of the proceedings of the Annual Meeting will be the presentation of recognition awards to three of Columbus Jewry's out¬ standing men for their contribution to the enrich¬ ment of the quality of Jewish life during the past four decades. Norman Meizlish, President of the Federation stated; ''this acknowledgement of our appreciation of the leadership and service of Rabbi Nathan > Zelizer, Dr. Jerome D. Folkman and Daniel .Harrison who are now retiring, will emphasize their role beyond their commitment to their in¬ dividual positions. We are most fortunate to have had the benefit of their com¬ mitment to the improvement and enhancement of the lives of all of Columbus Jewry." Also on the agenda will be the election of Officers and Board of Trustees for 1974-75 and the recognition of the leadership of those involved in the 1974 United Jewish Fund Campaign. Chairman of the Planning Committee for the Annual Meeting is Myer W. Mellman, Co-chairman is Mrs. Ben Goodman, and Program Chairman is Mrs, Gerald Swedlow. Under The Jewish Family the discussion could cover the local services, in¬ termarriage, Jev/ish identity, drugs, divorce, family education, the generation gap, conversion, strengthening family ties, and parochialism vs. universalism. The topic of Jewish Education could discuss methods, stands of quality, facilities, local needs, relationship of schools, teach education, day schools, afternoon schools, long-range plans. The Aginig and the Aged could cover the Heritage House Expansion, apart¬ ment project, costs of care, admission policies, govern¬ ment funds, physical and mental therapy, care of the non-institutionalized aged.

Audience participation will be encouraged and expected, thus giving any individual the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers., The dialogue in Town Hall fashion will provide a unique and con¬ structive means of corn- municating ideas.

If he does so, it could escalate a foreign policy fight that could tie up the entire foreign aid program. The defiant Congressmen have contended, until now, that the cuts are aimed at those nations which have violated the civil rights of their own citizens and those countries which have used military hardware purchased with U.S. foreign aid credits and grants against neighboring ^states. In the case of Turkey, some Congressmen have rejected warnings from the White House and other Congressmen that cutting aid would force Turkey to turn to the Arab states and give the Soviet Union a chance to fill the breach.
