Courts to Allow Suit
for Slurs on Kinsmen

KARLSRUHE (JTA) — The
West German constitutional
court here has ruled that any
German Jew or Jewish or-
ganization may bring suit
against a person who slanders
the Jewish people as a group
or uses the word "Jew" in a
derogatory fashion.
The court ruling came in the
case of a German who insulted
the Jews as a people in a mes-
sage on a postcard. He was
prosecuted by the state of
Hesse and the Association of
Jewish Communities of Hesse
and was convicted. On appeal,
however, an intermediate court
held he had not insulted the
Jewish people as a whole, but
subsequent legal steps led to
the latest ruling.
The highest court in Ger-
many said that "those human
beings who were persecuted by
National Socialism and now
live in Germany form an un-
equivocally determinable
group that is susceptible to
insults."

Israel Described in
Book by Ruth Gruber

"Israel Today: Land of Many
Nations," by Ruth Gruber, will
be published by Hill and
Wang, April 25, to coincide
with the world wide celebra
tion of Israel's 10th anniver-
sary.
The book describes many as-
pects of the young country: her
major cities, immigrants, cus-
toms, humor, music, art and
theater. It provides an intro-
duction to a country whose
youthful . enthusiasm and in-
domitable spirit have excited
the admiration of the whole
world.
The appendix gives up - to -
date information for the trav-
eler.
Miss Gruber, widely known
as a writer and lecturer, has
made eight trips to Israel as-
special foreign correspondent
for the New York Herald
Tribune.

Ask Police to Curb
British Anti-Semites

LONDON—(JTA)—A propo-
sal for the widening of a Metro-
politan police bill to cover
writing of abusive slogans on
public walls was made by Bar-
nett Janner, M.P. and British
Jewish communal leader.
The bill would increase the
maximum penalties for threat-
ening, abusive or insulting
words or behavior in public
places.
Janner, who called such slo-
gan-writing "one of the most
cowardly and vicious things
that can possibly be done," said
that recently the walls of Buck-
ingham Palace "were actually
used for swastikas and anti-
Semitic word scribblings."
David Benton, Joint Parlia-
mentary Under Secretary of
State for the Home Office, re-
plied that since "slogans are
generally either threatening,
abusive or insulting," such ac-
tivities would be covered in
the current bill.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Chairman Theodore F. Green
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee urged that the Ad-
ministration adopt a friendlier
attitude toward the United
Arab Republic and try to "get
along" with President Nasser.
He suggested that the United
States provide economic aid
to the UAR to replace assis-
tance furnished by the Soviet
bloc.
Speaking before the .11th an-
nual conference of the Associa-
tion of International Relations
Clubs, Sen. Green said Col.
Nasser may be responsive
to friendly overtures from
America.

JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) —
Ten Jews are candidates for
Parliament in the national elec-
tions to be held Wednesday in
the Union of South Africa.
Seven are members of the
United Party, while one can-
didate has been selected by the
Liberals, Labor ticket and South
African Bond Party, a new
Moderate conservative group.
Still another Jew, Abe Blum-
berg, a former MP from Cape-
town, was among the candidates
for four seats representing the
colored population of the Cape
in an election last week. Results
are delayed because of Easter.
While two Jewish members
of the National Party have ap-
pealed for votes on the ground
that the goernment, headed by
Prime Minister Strijdom, has
"treated the Jews fairly," there
is generally conceded to be no
general communal attitude to-
ward the election.
On the matter of the Apar-
theid question (segregation of
the colored people), there are
many divergent opinions among
Jews as there are among the
country.
Advice reaching here from
abroad urges the country's
110,000 Jews to "take a stand
against Apartheid." However,
this is viewed here as reflecting
ignorance regarding basic con-
ditions and attitudes in the
country. The Union has 3,000,-
000 whites, and 12,000,000 non-
whites.
