Moscow Radio Says Khrushchev's
Remarks in Le Figaro Are 'Forgery'
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Mos-
cow Radio, -broadcasting in the
Hungarian language on its
European service, accused the
French newspaper Le Figaro
of "manufacturing a provoca-
tive forgery" in quoting anti-
Jewish remarks by Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev in
the course of an interview with
that newpaper, it was reported
by Radio Liberation, the anti-
Soviet radio station which
monitors broadcasts from the
Soviet Union and also beams
news to the Soviet Union.
In reporting this surprise
development, Radio Liberation
Said that this was still another
Moscow effort "to take Khru-
chev off the hook • for his in-
temperate remarks." Moscow
Radio accused Le Figaro of
having launched an "anti-Soviet
hullabaloo" which, in turn,
was "snapped up in Israel,
where with plenty of additional
spice and further slander it
was published by the entire
Israeli press and has served
as an excuse for a further
campaign of slander against the
Soviet Union."
The Moscow broadcast assail-
ed a "mass meeting of former
Soviet Union subjects held re-
cently in Tel Aviv organized
by the Mapai administration,
claiming the speeches consisted
of "confused nonsense."
The Moscow station claimed
Israel Dean Tells
How Arab Students
Fare at Hebrew U.
"The rapidly increasing num-
ber of Arab students at Hebrew
University reflects the possi-
bility of the development of
enlightened leadership which
can raise the '—
standard of Is
rael's Aral:
citizens and
work toward
peace in the
area."
This encour-
aging forecast
conies from
the Dean of
Students at
Hebrew U n
versity, Dr
Bernard Cas-
per, who is
speaking to Dr. Casper
Jewish communities in this
country on behalf of the 1958
United Jewish Appeal $100,000,-
000 Rescue Fund. In his capacity
as advisor to all students, this
distinguished rabbi and educa-
tor who came to Israel from
England has worked very closely
with the 75 Arabs studying at
the Jerusalem institute in pro-
viding aid and counsel to them.
"At Hebrew University there
is absolute equality in the
treatment of students," Dr. Cas-
per emphasized. "Deserving
Arab students are receiving
scholarships and stipends. They
share all living and educational
facilities with Jewish students.
Through our efforts the Prime
Minister's Office has even set
up a special department to help
facilitate travel requirements
for Arab students. They are
receiving every encouragement
and are achieving excellent rec-
ords."
A blind young Arab graduate
of the University, Fareed Haj,
for example, has been able to
enter Columbia University's De-
partment of Special Education,
through Dr. Casper's efforts and
the cooperation of the American
Consulate. Haj intends to pre-
pare himself for an important
role in helping train and re-
habilitate handicapped Arabs in
Israel.
A particular sign of progress,
Dr. Casper notes, is the appear-
ance this year on the Hebrew
University campus of three
charming Arab coeds.
"it is well known" that Israel's
leaders, "claiming to be the
protectors of Jewry. have been
waging for a long time a cam-
paign for the concentration in
Israel of the Jewish population
of various countries, among
them the Soviet Union."
It observed that "there were
such people who were taken
in by the Israeli-American pro-
paganda and have emigrated to
Israel. But their disappoinment
was a bitter one." Apparently,
this was a reference to Polish
Jews who emigrated to Israel.
In Tel Aviv, Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver struck out sharply at
Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev for his remarks
that Jews were not inclined to
work in industries where they
had to work collectively or
cooperatively.
Addressing a meeting of
2,000 persons at .ZOA House
here, including 500 delegates
from the Zionist Organization
of America, Rabbi Silver sug-
gested that if the Russian Jews
had proved so unassimilable,
they be allowed to leave for
Israel.
He predicted that Khru-
shchev would be "shocked to
discover the number of Jews
who would welcome the oppor-
tunity to leave a Marxist para-
dise and choose the hard,
rugged pioneering life in the
Israel democracy." •
Dr. Silver called on the Jews
outside Israel to rally to the
continued support of the Jew-
ish State. "Without an organ-
ized, mobilized world Jewry,
Israel would never have been
established," he said, "and
without it Israel cannot be sus-
tained."
The Zionist leader urged the
United States to turn its face
on the policy of sending jet
planes and tanks to "friendly
Arab states" in an attempt to
compete with Soviet blandish-
ments, and to offer Israel solid
security guarantees as the
strongest measure in behalf
of peace in the Middle East.
He warned that there were
forces in the U.S., as well as
in the USSR, which were pre-
pared to sacrifice Israel to win
favor with the Arabs.

Most popular way to get a home loan today
Like millions of Americans you may be
dreaming of building or buying your own
home. If you are, chances are you need
two important things—first, money for a
down payment ; second, a home loan to make
up the difference. Our association special-
izes in helping you get both these things.
Last year, associations like ours through-
out the U. S. made one out of every
three home loans —1,000,000 of
them totaling more than $10 bil-
lion. The Insured Savings and
Loan way has, in fact, become
America's most popular way to
finance a new home. Here's why:
1. We know more about home loans
because we make more of them.
2. You get friendly understanding from
our staff which is experienced in home
financing.
3. You repay your loan just like rent. A
monthly repayment is usually set up to in-
clude principal, interest andproperty taxes.
4. While you're saving for the
down payment, your money earns
excellent returns, and is insured
up to $10,000 by the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation, an agency of the
U. S. Government.
