State Department Got Hot Potato JWV Commander Asks To Visit Arab States

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NJP)— The United States State Department had a hot potato hurled into its lap this week. William Carmen, of Newton, Mass., national commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., has asked Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson for the

against Jews, but told of the group’s “deep concern about Communist penetration in the Middle East” Polish Yiddish Theatre May Appear In Israel PARIS — The Polish Yiddish State Theatre co., which is per-

opportunity to

visit American military bases in the Middle

East.

The visit would include the base at Dharan from which Ibn S a u £ has barred U. S. Jewish servicemen.

The JWV’s letter to Wilson didn’t mention the Arab ban

forming here, may appear in Israel shortly, Mrs. Ida Kaminska, director of the company, announced. The Yiddish theatre company, which is giving performances of “Meir Ezofovitch,” by E. Orkestkowa, will also appear in Brussels and Antwerp for short engagements. The company may also visit Russia, if an invitation is forthcoming from Moscow, according to the Jewish Chronicle of London.

The letter added that the JWV membership “is keenly interested in the American defense structure in that vital area of the world. In order that I may bring home a first-hand report on this defense situation, I would appreciate arrangements being made to afford me the opportunity to visit bases in the area.” “My understanding is.,” the letter went on, “that such a visit would include, among others, the air force bases in Morocco, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iraq, an^ Iran.”

ISRAELIS STUDY FRENCH JERUSALEM—French is studied as a first foreign language in three Israel schools and as a second foreign language in 29 schools, according to the Israel Government Year Book for 1956-57.

BOOKS AND RELIGIOUS ARTICLES NEW PAMPHLET ANSWERS QUESTIONS ON EDUCATION THE JEWISH SCHOOL, YOUR CHILD AND YOU, by H. Chanover and Zalmen Slesinger (American Association for Jew-

ish Education).

Here are full answers to parents’ questions concerning Jewish education, which stress the need for educating all Jewish children, detailing the choices of schools, parental and home co-operation, and all other matters needful. The pamphlet (25c) is most stimulating and helpful. JONATHAN DAVID CO., New> Christian, believes Judaism the York. Among its many modern preliminary to a New Covenant, publications, this firm now in- he does not belittle the religion eludes a large line of autograph ot Israel, even terming it “no-

work is interlarded (you should excuse the expression) with hilarious wit and reminiscence. The contents include “Yom Kippur Cookery”; but this chapter consists only of “Ah ha! You looked. Shame on you! You should be fasting.” And more rubrics: “So From Hunger You Won’t Starve”; “Kosher Kocktis”; “How To Pickle a Tongue So It Shouldn’t Talk Back.” And, seriously, the recipes are good, too. * * * THE JEWS FROM CYRUS TO HEROD, by Norman H. Snaith, $2.50 (Abingdon). As a historian, Dr. Snaith is commendably scientific and objective. He portrays Jewdsh life, history, and thought through the period w r ith much sympathy and scholarly detail. But he is also a Christian theologian, hence writes of the Jew’s as a foil to the emergence of Christianity, with “Lord Jesus” properly berating the “belief in salvation by works” which “engendered a pride and an ostentation and a self-righteousness” the most partisan Christian apoiogete has never actually been able to prove

against the much maligned Pharisees. Allow’ing for such interludes of bias, one will tind the account of great value and interest. ABRAHAM BURSTEIN

GROCERS WANT PARTNERS HAIFA — Two representatives of the Israel grocers’ association left here this month on the S.S. Israel for the United States, where they will study retail grocery methods, especially those in supermarkets, and try to interest American firms to enter partnerships with some in Israel.
