McDonald Resigns as
Ambassador to Israel

Legend and Fact

A report from Tel Aviv this
The mysterious disappearance of a shofar from the museum week stated that Dr. James G.
on Mount Zion has Israel adither. The shofar had been brought McDonald, dean of the diplo-
to Israel from the notorious death camp at Oswiecim, where the matic corps in Israel, has re-
Jews sounded the ram's horn the moment of the first wave of
mass extermination. The shofar was brought by two religious
Jews who survived Oswiecim. Its disappearance has caused much
concern among Israeli government officials because it is feared the
theft had an ideological background, for the legend prevailed
among the religious survivors of Oswiecim that that particular
shofar will be the one used by MesSiah when he comes to redeem
mankind and arouse the dead. There are some who believe that
the shofar was removed by religious elements who consider it a
blasphemy to hold that the OsWiecim shofar will be used by Mes-
siah. This group does not believe that the rise of Israel is indica-
tive of the approach of Messianism, and if they removed the sho-
far it was to dispel the legends that were forming about it. The
government, however, considers the shofar an historic remnant
of the Oswiecim days and of special museum value. In any event,
Israel has a first class sensation in the theft and special sleuths
are working feverishly on the case.

Proud Tailor

A Johannesberg tailor is the proudest Jew in South Africa.
He is one of the few in the world to have received a personal in-
vitation from Israel's Foreign Minister to settle in the Jewish
state. When Moshe Sharett was in Johannesberg recently he sud-
denly discovered he was short of suits. When told that Israel
Michael was the best tailor in town, Sharett telephoned the tailor
and asked him, to come over. The , tailor's knees buckled. He
eould not believe he had been singled out for such honor. But
then he remembered that Sharett's host had been his customer.
He went to the given address and took Sharett's measure, a trick
few statesmen have been able to accomplish. But there was still
another surprise for the -tailor. The next day, as he sat bent over
ialft his machine, Israel's Foreign Minister walked in and told him he
had come for a measure so as to spare him the trouble of going
out of his way. When he was through being fitted, Sharett turned
to the surprised tailor and invited him to Israel saying he would
make a personal effort to see that he was properly received. AV
this time the tailor gained his composure and asked the Foreign
Minister: "Are there any prospects, of my becoming Court Tailor
in Israel?" Sharett patted the tailor on the shoulder and said
there were not court tailors in Israel but that if he came to the
Jewish state he, Sharett, would make it his personal business to
see that he becomes private tailor to Israel's government officials.

the Jewish state. In Washing-
ton, the State Department, to
whom he submitted his resigna-
tion, stated that it knew only
that Dr. McDonald is coming
home for consultation and leave.
His normal two years of service
ends Aug. 12.
The Tel Aviv report states
that there are all indications
that Dr. McDonald has no in-
tention of returning and that he
considers his assignment com-
pleted. He has been liquidating
his assets in Israel, including
household furnishings and an
automobile, and is believed to
be making plans for connections
outside the diplomatic service.
