Page lO-THE NEWS-February 1980 Complex Update By Rita Mond Over 60 people attended a meetinR on the community com plex on January 15 at Temple Beth El. Harry Lemer reviewed the project to date and then in troduced Murray Rosenberg, chairman of the Jewish Welfare Board’s Building and Planning Committee, and Joe Cohen, the SE representative of the Council of Jewish Federations. Mr. Rosenberg discussed the need for establishing com mittees from each of the con cerned institutions (Temple Beth El, Temple Israel, the JCC and the Hebrew Academy) to take an inventory of their needs such as type of faciUties and number of people to occupy these facilities. When doing this they should project the current as well as future needs and allocation of space. He stated that there are similar commum- ty facilities but that Charlotte is unique in doing a total complex - religious, educational, cultural, social and recreational. Mr. Cohen reaffirmed the need of planning committees from each group and then a steering committee to be es tablished composed of represen tatives from each of the in stitutions. It is hoped that this will be implement^ by March 1st. Much hard work has been put into the planning of this com plex, much money has been put forward to buy the land, but there is still much work to be done and money must be raised to see the total development of the facilities. The progress of the complex will be reported by this paper as it develops. “Beware the man who kno'ws the answer before he un derstands the question.” -C.M.

Reparations Payment BONN, (JTA) — West Ger many’s Parliament has agreed, in principle, to pay new reparations to Jewish victims of Nazism. These reparations would be the last payment to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. But the proposed ad ditional payments have become entangled with efforts to discuss restoration of the pension rights of Hitler-era dvil servants never cleared by the de-Nazification courts. That linkage is considered “unfortunate” by Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who was reportedly described by a spokesman as wanting “to do everjrthing possible to avoid coupling the fate of victims and their oppressors.” Before C!hristmas, the Chris tian Democratic opposition in Parliament gained backing for a plan to pay $225 million in new reparations but only in ex change for debate on the fate of other groups affected by the Nazi era. The debate, sch^uled for March 31, would discuss possible benefits for Gypsies and others who did not get any reparations but also to former career military officers, members of the SS elite guard and Nazi civil servants. Schmidt, who said he wanted the full backing of all West (mer man parties for what he called “a last material gesture” to Jewish victims, originally sought to have the $225 million included in the 1980 budget. He received assurances from Helmut Kohl, head of the Chris tian Democratic Union, and from Philip Jenninger, manager of the parliamentary group of Bavaria’s Christian Social Union, that the two par ties would cooperate but the let^pool together, America! Acffoma duJhrdiijimg act. leaders were voted down by their parliamentary groups. The result was an agreement in principle to include the reparations for Jews int a supplementary budget for 1^ but in conjunction with a discus- sicm of pensions for GSermans not cleared by de-Nazification courts. The agreement calls for mak ing $139 million available to Jewish victims in 1980, with ad ditional grants of $58 million in each of the two following years. Of this total, $23 million would go to Uie Jewish conmiunity in West Germany and the balance to the Conference on Jewish Material Clai^ Against Ger many, which is headed by Dr. Nahum (joldmann.
