Accept Israel,
Arabs Told by
Indian Paper

NEW DELHI, (JTA)—"Israel
is a fact" and the Arab leaders,
including Col. Abdel Nasser,
should give up the "fiction for
the masses" to the effect that
Israel can be liquidated, the
Times of India, one of the most
influential newspapers in this
country, declared. -
"Israel," the Times wrote, "is
just as much of a fact as is
Communist China. Unless there
is unconditional acceptance of
this fact, there can be no re-
storation of West-Asian stab-
ility."
"The general failure to rec-
ognize realities," the newspaper
continued, "is a fault of Arab
nationalism. The refusal of the
West to accept the reality of
West Asian nationalism is
equalled by the refusal of this
nationalism to accept the real-
ity of Israel. How long will
this kind of extremism be al-
lowed to deceive the Arabs into
the conviction that Israel can
one day be obliterated? Israel
is a fact, as Communist China
is a fact.
"The Arab leaders themselves
may be victims of their own
propaganda and deliberately in-
cite Arab sentiment against
Israel. Liquidation of Israel is
a fiction for the masses. No one,
and least of all, President Nas-
ser, can accept this possibility."
The newspaper suggested that
"the cause of realism in West
Asia might be considerably
strengthened" by establishing
diplomatic relations between
India and Israel. India recog-
nizes Israel, but has no diplo-
matic relations with the Jewish
State.

Israel Celebrates Passover in Rare
Holiday Mood; Report Global Rites

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel
celebrated Passover in an un-
precedented holiday mood, in-
dicating- greater peace of mind
on the part of the population
than ever before in the . ten
years of the state's existence.
The synagogues were crowd-
ed, and Seder Orim were held
in many kibbutzim and in all
army units.
The Israel Chief Rabbinate
announced receipt of Passover
greetings from the Chief Rab-
binates of the Soviet Union
and other Communist countries
of East Europe. Moscow's Chief
Rabbi Yehuda Levin expressed
wishes for a "happy holiday in
peace and trust."
Cables of greetings also were
received from Romanian Chief
Rabbi Moses Rosen, Bulgaria's
Chief Rabbi A. Hananel, Czech-
oslovakia's Chief Rabbi Z. Sie-
chel and the Jewish Community
of Shanghai, in Communist
China.
Reports that the Joint Distri-
bution Committee had sent ten
tons of matzos to the Jews of
Poland were denied by Charles
Jordan, JDC director general,
in Paris.
The JDC contribution to Po-
lish Jewry's Passover celebra-
tion this year, Jordan revealed,
was matzo baking machinery
which was used by a group of
Jewish bakers in Wroclaw.
They baked matzos, under the
seal of Warsaw Chief Rabbi
M. Berkowitz, for the entire
Jewish religious community of
Poland.
In addition, *Jordan pointed
out, the JDC provided funds to
the religious community to pay
for matzos for . Jewish families
who could not afford to buy
them.
Jordan said that 22,000
pounds of kosher fat had been
sent to Australia, as well as
2,000 bottles of PassoVer wine

and 500 pounds of special flour
for ultra-Orthodox Jews who
bake their own matzos; wine
was also shipped to Italy and
West Germany.
In New York, Jan Peerce,
American opera star, broadcast
Passover greetings in Yiddish
to the Jews of the Soviet Union.
His message was beamed to all
parts of the Soviet Union by
Radio Liberation via powerful
transmitters in West Germany
and the Far East.
More than 80 American Jew-
ish tourists attended a public
seder at the Barcelona Syna-
gogue here, the first such pub-
lic service in the modern history
of Spain.
The tourists were passengers
on the S.S. Independence on a
Mediterranean tour, who were
invited by the congregation. The
invitation was extended while
the passengers were on the high
seas between Venice and Mes-
sina. Following the seder, the
Americans returned to their
ship the next morning to con-
tinue the cruise.

ROME (JTA) — The Italian
government has requested that
United Arab Republic Presi-
dent Nasser postpone his sched-.
uled visit to Italy until after
the forthcoming national elec-
tions and the formation of a
new government. A Foreign
Office spokesman denied a
statement issued in Cairo that
President Nasser would come
to Italy in June.
The chorus of pr otests
against Nasser's visit has
swelled among the press and
political leaders, many of
wham fear that Nasser's visit
to Moscow will prove highly
embarrassing to Italy. Repub-
lican Party Leader Randalfo
Pacciarcli has became the latest
political personality to warn
that Nasser is "the most dan-
gerous Russian tool in the
Middle East."
In Cairo, UAR Ambassador
to Rome, M. Okasha conferred
with President Nasser on hos-
tile statements in Italy and its
significance as far as Col.
Nasser's projected visit is con-
cerned. The Ambassador said
he reassured the President and
the visit will take place.
