Jewish Community Council Participates in
'`Crusade for Freedom' National Programs
`Tzena' Climbs to Top of
Subversives' Horror List
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Radio Station WOL has re-
ceived protests against the broadcasting of the Israel song
hit, "Tzena, Tzena" based on the accusation that it is a sub-
versive Communist melody.
A spokesman for WOL told the JeWish Telegraphic
Agency that one listener demanded that "Tzena, Tzena" be
cut off the air "because our troops are fighting and dying to
stop Communism in Korea" and that no song with a Russian
background should be played here.
The Israel Embassy has explained that the song was
written hi Israel during the Arab-Jewish war and has not
the faintest connection with Communism. It has to do with
such subversive activities as girls and soldiers dancing the
Hora in a village square.
Station WOL will continue to broadcast "Tzena, Tzena,"
its spokesman said.

Israel Flag Flies High Over Dublin
Honoring Jewish Delegates at Dail
DUBLIN, (JTA) — The Israel
flag was _flown for the first time
from the staff of the Dail (Par-
liament) building in honor of
the presence of the delegation
from the Jewish state at the
meeting of the Interparliamen-
tary Union here.
The Israel delegation includes
David Hacohen and ,Beba Idel-
son of Mapai, Mordecai Bentov
of Mapam, Rabbi M. Nurock of
Mizrachi, Yaacov Meridor of
Herut, Isaiah Klibanov of the
General Zionists, and Dov Cohn,
of the Progressive Party. The
arrival of the Israelis has caused
considerable excitement among
the Jewish population here and
many functions have been ar-
ranged in their honor.
During the early stages of the
meeting of the Union, several
Arab delegates attacked Israel
and the United Nations over the
fate of the Palestine Arab refu-
gees. Rabbi Nurock and Mr. Ha-
cohen replied, pointing out that
the Arab states themselves were
responsible for the plight of the
refugees and that if they were
readmitted by Israel the refugees
might easily become a mass
fifth column. The Jewish dele-
gates also spoke on the achieve-
ments of their country and on
the aims of the people of Israel.
Later, during a debate on a
resolution for the protection of
children, particularly stateless
children, Irish Senator Seamus
O'Farrell called for the uniting
of refugee children with their
parents, stating that Jewish
children in Eastern Europe are
not permitted to join their par-
ents in Israel. Israel delegate
Mrs. Idelson outlined the meas-
ures taken by the Israel Gov-
ernment in behalf of children.
Israel delegate Idov Cohen
called for the eradication from
all textbooks of references to
racial discrimination. Mr. Haco-
hen and Mr. Klibanov were
