TEL AVIV — An awareness
among Soviet leaders of the ex-
istence of a Jewish problem in
Russia which was different from
that of other nationality issues
among the many Soviet peoples
was reported here by Dr. Na-
hum Goldmann.
Addressing a meeting of rep-
resentatives of virtually all po-
litical parties.. in Iscael in his
capacity as president of the
World J e w'i s h Congress, Dr.
Goldmann reviewed the situa-
tion of various Jewish commu-
nities around the world. In
North Africa, he said, the Jews
of Tunis and Morocco enjoyed
full citizenship rights and the
governments of the two coun-
tries were interested in their
Jewish communities, regarding
them as important factors in
the building of their countries.
Dr. Goldmann reported that
"certain tendencies even exist
among the Jews to assimilate"
in the North African states
"since they see great economic
and social possibilities for them-
selves in their `old-new' father-
land."
In view of the complicated
political situation in Algeria, he
continued, the Jewish position
is "most delicate." He denied
categorically allegations that
the WJC had ties with the Alge-
rian nationalists.
Commenting on a recent
meeting in Rome of a number
of major Jewish organizations
from v a r i o u s countries, he
hailed the meeting as a show
of unity on the problems facing
Jews in the USSR, Israel and
North Africa. He called the
Rome meeting "historic" and
stressed the WJC role in bring-
ing it about. He announced that
he would propose an organiza-
tional set-up for a new body
whose next meeting is sched-
uled to be held in May.
Dr. Goldmann reiterated his
view that representations must
be made by Israel to the United
States and the Soviet Union for
the exclusion of the Middle

U.S. Jewish Leader Says
Jews in Morocco Are
Well Treated By King
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
attitude of King Mohammed V
of Morocco toward the Jews in
Morocco was lauded by Isaac
Shalom, president of Ozar Ha-
torah, Orthodox society for Jew-
ish youth education in the Mid-
dle East and North Africa, upon
his return from a three-week
visit to Morocco and Tangiers,
where he met with leaders of
the Jewish community and the
government.
During his stay in Morocco,
Shalom inaugurated three new
boarding schools for 200 stu
dents in Marrakech, Casablanca
and Sefrou. These schools like
all other 28 schools of Ozar Ha-
torah in Morocco provide a
combined program of religious
and secular education and also
offer their students food, cloth-
ing and medical attention. Ozar
Hatorah is educating 6,000.
In Tangiers, Shalom in co-
operation with the community
leaders initiated the establish-
ment of a new Talmud Torah
Day School. There are now four
Ozar Hatorah institutions in
Tangiers: Hebrew Teachbrs Col-
lege, a "kollel" for advanced
study and research, a Talmud
Torah elemegtary school, and a
girls' school.
Shalom lauded the work done
by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee in saving thousands of
Jewish lives by giving food and
clothing for the poor and sup-
porting educational institutions.
He praised the work of OSE for
the sick and admired the oper-
ation of ORT which offers voca-
tional training.

JNF Prunes Wood
from Hadera Forest

HADERA-2,000 tons of euca-
lyptus wood are now being
pruned by the Jewish National
Fund from the 2,500 dunams of
forest land in the vicinity of
Hadera which were recently
transferred to the Fund by
PICA (Palestine Jewish Coloni-
zation Association) . in accord-
ance with James de Rothschild's
last will. The wood will be used
mainly for vine supports in
vineyards and for fence posts.

In "Masters of Deceit," his
new book published by Henry
Holt, F.B.I. Director J. Edgar
Hoover includes a 16-page chap-
ter entitled "The Communist
Attack on Judaism," in which,
he describes the Communist at-
tempt to deceive American Jews
and infiltrate the Jewish com-
munity.
The Communists "deliberate-
ly try to make the Jews a 'prob-
lem' ," Hoover writes, "which
is denied by the record of good
citizenship and civic responsib-
ility of adherents of Judaism in
the United States."
Hoover continues: "As an ex-
ample, the American Jewish
League Against Communism
stated as early as 1948 that 'So-
viet Russia's million and a half
Jews are the forgotten people
of the world.' The League lists
among its proudest achieve-
ments that `. . . it was the first
American organization to ex-
pose and document the commu-
nist anti-Jewish policies'. "
Hoover states: "One of the
most malicious myths that has
developed in the United States
is that persons of the Jewish
faith and communists have
something in common. The peo-
ple who gave the world the con-
cept of our monotheistic . God
and the Ten Commandments
cannot remain Jews and follow
the atheism of Karl Mark and
the deceit of the communist
movement. It is a matter of rec-
ord that numerous Communist
Party leaders call themselves
Jews and claim a Jewish origin.
This does not, however, make
them Jews, any more than Wil-
liam Z. Foster's Catholic back-
ground and Earl Browder's Pro-
testant background give them
any standing in present-day
Catholic and Protestant com-
munities."
"Where communist infiltra-
tion -tactics have succeeded in
Jewish organizations," the au-
thor emphasizes, "it has been
because of a failure on the part
of leaders and members alike
to be vigilant and thwart the
communist tactic of infiltration
into the Jewish community just
as it has sought to infiltrate
every other organization."
The - chanter documents the
long list of Soviet betrayals of
Jews, Kremlin opposition to
both the Jewish religion and
Zionism, the disappearance of
Jewish life and culture in Rus-
sia and Communist guilt in the
Nazi extermination of Jews.
Hoover quote's Karl Marx:
"Money is the jealous God of
Israel, by the side of which no
other god may exist . . . Ex-
change is the Jew's real God."

Urges Smokers Take X-rays
CHICAGO, (AJP)—Dr. Alton
Ochsner, professor of surgery at
the 'Tulane University School of
Medicine, has urged all smokers
to get chest X-rays every six
months to detect any signs of
lung cancer. Speaking before
the Chicago Medical Society's
annual clinical conference, Dr.
Ochsner declared that experi-
men t a 1 research had shown
"without any question or doubt"
that there was a cancer-produc-
ing agent in cigarette smoke.
His own research, he added, has
shown that filters "do not re-
move tars and other ingredi-
ents."
