The Philosopher's Destination
The German-Jewiih philoso-
pher, Moses Mendelssohn, was
an intimate friend of Frederick
the Great.
Once, while promenading on
"tinter Den Linden," the chief
thoroughfare in Berlin, the
King met his learned friend.
After saluting, each other the
monarch asked his Jewish sub-
ject where he was going.
"I don't know, Mendelssohn
replied.
"You don't know." reiterated
the conqueror. "Aren't you
bound for some destination?"
"Yes," said the philosopher:
reflectively, "but whither I go
I know not."
The° eyes of the mighty ruler
flashed with anger. This man
was trifling with his majesty.
and he ordered Mendelssohn';
arrest.
After the offender had spent
a day in prison the king began
to feel the sting of his con-
science for having imprisoned
the great man. There must
have been some hidden mean-
ing in the great philosopher's
words. the monarch thought,
and he went to visit his pris-
oner.
"Look here, Mendelssohn•"
said the royal visitor. "what do
you mean by trifling with me in
such a frivolous-manner?"
"No. your majesty," said the
ruler's confidant, "I did not
mean to trifle with you. I really
did not know where I was go-
ing. Don't you see? I was going
to visit a friend, and I landed
in jail instead.

It Was the Czar
Two Israelites were diuss-
irig the deplorable situation of
their people in Russia under the
regime of Czar Nicholas "The
Last."
"The Emperor," remarked
one. "is nothing but an idiot."
"And a drunkard." added the
other.
The last two remarks were
overheard by a gendarme, who
proceeded immediately to ar-
rest the detractors of the "Little
Father."
"You have no right to arrest
us," protested the two Israel-
ites. "we meant the German
emperor."
The Russian officer relaxed
his grasp of the traitor and be-
gan to retreat, when suddenly
he changed his mind.
"An idiot, a drunkard," re-
iterarted the loyal officer, "I
know whom you meant. Come
on `Zhids' to the police sta-
tion."

Head of Banned
Nazi Party Jailed
DORTMUND. Germany
(JTA)—Fritz Doris, who headed
the anti-Semitic Socialist Reich
party. largest of the postwar
neo-Nazi movements, until it
was banned in 1952 when he
took refuge in Eg ypt. has been
sentenced to 14 months in jail
by the local District Court. He
was charged with public insult,
fraud and with being the ring-
leader in a subversive organiz-
ation. He has filed an appeal.
Joining the Nazi party in
1929. he served as a lecturer at
one of its Indoctrination and
Training Institutes.
When the anti-Semitic So-
cialist Reich party was formed
a few months later that year.
Doris was chosen its leader.
Soon after the party was out-
lawed as unconstitutional, war-
rants for Doris' arrest were is-
sued by the district attorneys
of Dortmund and Bonn. The
warrants could not be served
because Doris had gone to
Egypt, partly, it was learned
later, on behalf of the Office
for the Protection of the Con-
stitution, a top Bonn govern-
ment agency. The mission in-
volved a suit against key Bonn
officials by Joachim Bertelet,
German coordinator of the
Arab campaign against ratifica-
tion of the West German-Israel
reparations pact. Doris sought
evidence against Bertelet in
Cairo.
The District Court, in sen-
tencing Doris, refused to con-
sider him to have been a fugi-
tive from justice either during ,
his stay in Egypt or when he
was hiding in Westphalia after'
his return. Taken into custody
in the summer of 1955, he was
released after a short time. The
custody period was deducted
from his sentence.

conference which followed a
reiteration by the Secretary
General of his belief that there
had been and continued to be
"phychological improvement"
of Middle East conditions. He
cited the "very great quiet"
existing on the Israeli-Egyptian
border. When he was asked
whether the continuing Arab
economic warfare did not im-
pair this "psychological" situ-

forts to bring about improve-
ments.
