Sure, it's Bill of Rights Day—but that's
exactly what the Bill of Rights stands for—
the rights of Bill, Torn, Dick and Harry—in
fact, the rights of 150,000,000 Americans of
all colors, creeds and ancestries.
Back in 1791, the people added the Bill of
Rights to our Constitution, safeguarding
those baSiC freedoms •of speech, press and
religion, and the other liberties which Ame4-
cans have always held fundamental.
We've been adding to these freedoms ever
since—freedom from slavery, equal citizen-

ship, women's suffrage, equal justice under
the law. ‘Indeed, the Rights of Bill have
, grown as our country, has grown, and our
concepts of ...liberty have broadened.
And...we're adding to these freedoms today
—protecting the rights of all Americans to
equal employment opportunities, to a fair
education, to a chavce to live wherever they
choose . • .
On the job, in the schools, in business and
in the community, we're sticking up for
. the Rights of Bill—

It's an American Tradition!

(international) protection of the Holy Places and of spiritual
and religious interests in the Holy Land." The committee would
report back to the next regular session of the General Assembly.
Speaking in the .debate - for the first time, John C. Ross of
the United States , opposed the proposal to delay final action on
the Jerusalem question and offered suggestions regarding the
Swedish resolution in an effort to offset Jordanian objections to
that resolution.
The Swedish proposal, although limiting UN supervision to
the Holy Places, gives a proposed UN High Commissioner for
the . Holy City a degree of authority to which both Israel and
Jordan have objected, although Israel has indicated it is willing
to go along with the Swedish proposal. Mr. Ross suggested that
the committee 'might postpone implementation of that part of
the Swedish proposal concerning the High Commissioner's pow-
ers while sending to Jerusalem a UN representative with a
staff to represent the interests of the world community. Fur-
ther decisions could then be taken on the basis of the representa-
tives' recommendations. At the same time Israel and Jordan
would be required to make pledges guaranteeing free access
to the Holy Places which are called for in the Swedish resolution.
Mr. Ross, in backing the - Swedish resolution;told the com-
mittee that conditions in Jerusalem had changed greatly in
the three years since the concept of internationalization of the
city had been established and that the UN had to give full
coasideration to the changed conditions. He said the experi-
ence of the last year had borne out, all too clearly, that there
was no practicable way to enforce a statute on Jerusalem if
it is firmly opposed by the inhabitants of the area. This did
not mean, Mr. Ross added, that Israel and Jordan should have
a veto over UN decisions on Jerusaletn but that the -UN .
should not take decisions which "by their very nature" gave
the governments and people concerned "no alternative but to
oppose them."
In opposing the Belgian resolution, he asserted that the
negotiations which had already taken place had been "to say the
least, quite exhaustive." He said the United States believed that
the Assembly should-take a step in the direction of a final set-
tlement during its present session.

Dr. Zeitlin s Myth-Smasking
Book 'Who Crucified Jesus?

"Who Crucified Jesus?", authored by Prof. Solomon Zeldin,
noted authority on Rabbinics and editor of the Jewish Quarterly
Review, and published by Harper and Brothers, tells 'the truth and

It is with great pleasure that The Jewish News is now able to
bring the facts before its readers and to its many Christian friends.
Permission has been granted by Dr. Zeitlin and the publishers, Harper
and Brothers, for The Jewish News to publish in five instalments a
condensed version of this book. The Jewish News, after much con-
sideration has selected Ruth L. Cassel, its former City Editor, to bring
out the important highlights of the book while retaining the author's
continuity and style.
From the New York Herald Tribune: "Combined with more
detailed studies of Jesus' trial and crucifixion, this book is an answer
to the dread accusation against the Jews. The shout, 'Christ killers,'
should never be heard again."
Kansas City Star: "Here is a book that should be read by Chris-
tians and Jews alike. Its spirit, scholarship and its message are highly
commendable."
The Westminister Theological Journal: "Our interest is aroused
by the fact that a noted Jewish authority on Rabbinics writes on the
ever-fascinating theme of the crucifixion . his treatment can hard-
ly be stereotyped."
And of the condensed version to be printed in The Jewish News,
starting Friday, Dec. 22, Dr. Zeitlin himself writes: "The serialization
of my book has been brought to me this morning. I have gone over
it and find that Mrs. Cassel has made an excellent condensation. She
should ' be congratulated on the achievement of this difficult job."
Prof. Zeitlin is head of the rabbinical department at Dropsie
College, Philadelphia, editor-in-chief of The Jewish Apocryphal
Literature, co-editor of The Jewish Quarterly Review and noted au-
thority on the Second Jewish Commonwealth.
