1901.

the Downtown YMCA basket-
ball team, then helped organize

gregations in the state.

basketball player, Mazer es-

Israel Attacked by
Catholic, Zuckerman
and Ultra-Orthodox
NEW YORK (AJP) — The
current issue of the propa-
ganda "Newsletter", published
by the Palestine Arab Refugee
Office here, is filled with anti-
I s r a el propaganda originally
published by a Catholic Priest,
by ultra-Orthodox Jews and by
William Zuckerman, editor of
the anti-Israel Jewish News-
letter.
The Catholic Priest, Father
Ralph Gorman, is quoted as
follows: "It is our firm con-
viction that it was an act of
injustice as well as of incred-
ible stupidity for the UN to
create the state of Israel on
Arab territory. It would be an
act of reparation to the Arabs
to force the Israelis back be-
hind the 1947 boundaries and
resettle the refugees in the re-
covered territory. Some such
drastic action must be taken
. . . It will be too bad if such
an action has to be inaugurated
by the Reds, but if it is, we
should support it . . ."
The Arab propaganda sheet
also republished part of an
anti-Israel ad which the ultra-
Orthodox "National Committee
for Freedom of Religion in
Israel" had inserted in the
N.Y. Times recently. Other
items in the "Newsletter" in-
clude columns by Zuckerman
and his ilk.
Zionism Blasted by
Jehovah Witnesses
NEW YORK (AJP) — The
Jehovah Witnesses of the
Watchtower Society — who
opened an eight-day inter-
national convention at the
Yankee Stadium and P o 10
grounds on Sunday, July 27—
have been distributing anti-
Israel literature bordering on
anti-Semitism. 0 n e pamphlet
titled "Why Zionism Must
Fail," shows the word "Zion-
ism" in crude Hebrew-style
letters over a Star of David.
Despite biblical prophecy
which prophesies the return of
the Jews to the Holy Land, the
"Jehovah Witnesses" maintain
that Zionism "is of the devil
and has no Scriptural basis."
Sarah Stein, Dies
Sarah Stein, of 19334 San

a son, Dr. Albert; two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Sidney Sacks and
Mrs. Archie Werner; two
