In a recent Jewish Telegraphic Ailsoeiation summary re^port of a southern state regitonal confer- once sponsored by the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds and the National Welfare board, comraunity communal planning was viewed both as a challenge and a vital asset in the development and implemeinta- tion of community services to¬ day.
Unless Jewish communitfes en¬ gage in the most sound and thoughtful planning, the health and welfare programs they de¬ velop "may be quite useless to¬ morrow and not adequate even today," Louis Stem, now CJFWF president, told 100 Jewish leaders from major southern communi¬ ties at a recent two-day leader¬ ship Institute. -'<¦"'
STERN'S KEYNOTE address, "The Challenge of Community Organization," also stressed the inU-rrelatedncss of health and welfare services here and abroad. "Neither area ought to be singled out for a built-in priority," he said. "Both are entitled to a fair share   of   campaign proceeds."
Co-sponsored by the Southern Slates region of the Council of Jewish Federation and Welfare Funds and the Middle Atlantic Section of the National Jewish Welfare Board, the conference brought together board members, of community councils and their constituent agencies in the fields of aged care, family and chil¬ dren's service, community cen¬ ters, soldiers' and sailors' welfare, and community relations, Stern is a vice-president of both the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds and the Na¬ tional  Jewish Welfare Board.
"Our overseas responsibilities will not diminish substantially In our lifetime," Stern said. "In light
of this, communities have to cre¬ ate a pattern which permits them to meet their share of this re¬ sponsibility and which makes possible the development and growth of local emd national agencies."

In Philadelphlii, .Jewish needs in the United States and abroad came under intensive review as tltjo General As¬ sembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds opened with more than 1,000 Jewish leaders from the United States and Canada participating.
In Bonn, regret over the failure of the West German Government to bring to a close the laws for restitution and compensation to Nazi victims was expressed by Dr. Nahun Goldmann following three days of negotiations with key finance officials on legislation to complete the restitution and compensation laws.
In Jerusalem, Israel's Parliament rejected a motion to abolish military government in the country's Arab sections after Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion intimated that de¬ fection within his coalition government on the issue would lead to a fail of his government and force new elections. The vole was 50 to 26 with 23 aljstentions.
In United Nations, N.Y., Israel voiced a powerful plea for regional disarmament, with controls, in the Middle East, as a step toward world disarmament. At the same lime, Israel criticized Egypt—without naming that country—for Cairo's new rocketry program aimed at Israel.
In Jerusalem^ Israel's Farlianment defeated in heated debate four motions to amend the state security law of 1057 which had been, criticized by Israel's Supreme Court as untenable. By a vote of 18 to 39, the Knesset beat back the motions after Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion defend¬ ed the law as required by Israel's unique security situation. The Prime Mini.ster cited an opinion by Attorney Genei'al Gideon Hausner in favor of the law.
In Bonn, Dr. Heinz Starke, West German Finance Minister, told the Parliament he hoped that a bill woiild be submitted "in the next few months" to make po.ssible com¬ pensation payments for claimants still not covered. He re¬ iterated that the Federal Government considered such action ' "a debt of honor" on the part of the German people.
In Jerusalem, after two days of intensive debate on Israel's general foreign policy, with heavy emphasis oq the Arab refugee problem, Israel's Parliainent voted overwhelm¬ ingly a reaffirmation of the policy of the "non-return" of the refugees to Israel territory.
In Washingon, B'nal B'rith made known it had appealed to German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who is visiting Washington, for his "personal attention" to correcting "in¬ equities" in Wegt German indemnification payments.
