¦ Approvar of the study on prop¬ er translit^atlon of names of holidays and other terms which appear frequently ta the columns of the newspaper climaxes a 16- year-long study on the subject, under the chairmanship of Leo Frisch, editor of the American Jewish World,' Minneapolis-St. Paul, one of the deans of the Jewish journalism field. Worktag closely with him has been Philip Slomovitz, another long-timer ta Jewish journalism, whc> headed the Association for its first five years.
BOTH OF THESE men have been ta contact with various He- bracists and sources of Hebrew scholarship in order to achieve some resolution of ' a problem wliich has plagued editors for several decades.
Chairman Frisch noted that the conclusion of the study rep¬ resents a compromise with quite different viewpotats ta order to resolve the petty confusions 'which have resulted through the great variations ta translitera¬ tion preferences.
THE NEW VERSION, which will be publicly announced, is a modernized Sephardic treat- ihent, in the mata. .

Peres Says Jordan ? Is Not Belligerent   i
sr DAVID HOROWIXZ. - 1    V
NEW YORK, (WUP) — "Had not the U.S. supplied arms ;.¦
to Jordan, then the Russians would have done it and that would:)
have'posed a very grave situation for Israel, especially ta the Bght •
of the latest developments ta Syria."
Thus declared Shimon Peres, M.K., former Israel DeputyMta- Ister pf'Defense and now General SecretaiV of the Rafi party, be-, : fore a large corps of correspondents at a press luncheon sponsored :; by the ZOA at the DeUnonlco
Hotel here last week.
EXPRESSING THE belief that "Jordan is not a l>elligerent nation," Peres declared that he can "understand the U. S.'policy in sendtag arms to the Hashe- mite kingdom."
Justifytag the U.S. action, Peres told the reporters that "the dilemma explataed by Washington ta a recent note is a real one."
ALTHOUGH BEN-GUBION'S
right hand 'man — who made a good impression on the corre¬ spondents — saw no imminent danger of a war in the Mideast, he pointed to the fact tijiat "the mata problem in the area stirl remains the lielligerent policy of the Egyptian Government." His only criticism of the U.S. was ta relation to Yemen. He felt that "the U.S. should do more to force UAR troops out of" that country.
Peres laid great stress on Is¬ raeli-West German relations. "It is hnportant for the future of our country," he said, "that we mata- tain a strong Unk with a power¬ ful European-nation — economic- ariy, politically and in matters of defense. Not every German as an individual should be condemned as a Nazi. He should be judged on his own record. A child liom today or yesterday ta West Ger¬ many," he noted, "is certainly not a Nazi."
THE POPULAR youthful P& res saw great hope for the fu¬ ture of Israel's political life ta the younger generation. How¬ ever, he noted with regret the "tadifference sho\yn by the youth of Israel on vital issues factag the country," and he admitted that "this is entirely our own faurt."
Abram Raps Lawlessness In ^Meredith' Shooting
Morris B. Abram, president of the American Jewish Committee, expressed hope today that the shoottag of James Meredith would "waken the conscience" of law officers in the South to then dangers the nation faces "if we allow law and order to con¬ tinue to be violated without vig¬ orous and wholehearted prose¬ cutions."
In a statement, Abram re- calred a special report Issued last month jointly by the Committee and the Southern Regional Coun¬ cil, which warned of "continued white lawlessness,ta the South" and predicted that retaliatory violence from negroes was "in¬ evitable."    '
REFSRRINp TO THE record in this booklet of killtags and "uncounted" beattags, bupiings, bombings, and shootings, Aliram said: "The victims of these out¬ rages are not as wefl known as James Meredith. Hence, our con¬ sciences have not been moved, public indii^ation has not been sparked. Those victims, how¬ ever, bled as freely as Meredith and their families cried as blt- teriy as ills."
"It was a fortunate accident that James Meredith's life has been spared. But it Is no accident
that unchecked violence breeds more violence," Abram said.
"Indeed, a special report is¬ sued last month by the American Jewish Committee and the Southern Regional Coimcil clear¬ ly warned of conttaued white rawlessness in the South — if the kiUtags, uncounted beatings, burnings, liombings and shoot- tags. In the past six months are any tadicator," he concluded.

Man's Creation Of Life Will NotNegateGod
What will happen to man's concept of C3od as the Creator of all life if and when biochem-. ists succeed ta creattag tatelli- gent life ta a laljoratory?
The question, which has arisen; with tacreastag frequency as, scientists have gotten closer to achieving the feat, was answered with resounding ppttaiism by a leadtag JeWshipliitosoplieri   ¦    '" i
RABBI  NORMAN   LAMM,
who recently contended that dis¬ covery of life on other planets wourd tie compatilble with Ju¬ daic beliefs, said that man-cre¬ ated life also would support rather than deny the Jewish concept of God.
Citing the Book of Genesis, Rabbi Lamm, who received his Ph.D. degree from Yeshiva Uni¬ versity's Bernard Revel Gradu¬ ate School yesterday, said that "unprejudiced readtag of jthe Biblical text leads to the conclu¬ sion that the capacity for crea¬ tion is the primary meantag of man's divtae image."
"TO BE MADE ta God's im¬ age," he explataed, "means, ta the staiplest terms, to be <3od- Uke. And God, the Book of Gene¬ sis teaches, is the Creator."
Rabbi Lamm, associate rabbi of The Jewish Center ta Manhat¬ tan and assistant visiting profes¬ sor of Jewish Philosophy at Ye¬ shiva University's Teachers In- ' stltute for Men, added that "if man will discover the secrets v/hereby living matter is pro¬ duced from taanlmate stuff, he will not be challengtag God, but quite the contrary, fulfllltag an unparalleled manner his function of imitattag God ta the assertion and exercises of his creative genius."
HE WARNED, however, that "man's accomplishments will be presumptuous and diabolical if these marvelous secrets will fill him with arrogance, tatoxicate him with a sense of complete self-sijficiency, and ultimately lead htai to destroy every ves¬ tige of life on his pianet."
Waldor Calls For Severance Of Aid
