Study Conference to be held in Tokyo Nov. 23-27. . . . Former
U.S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman, who was honored at a dinner
at which $1,000,000 in Israel Bonds were sold, said that Israel,

ing to contain the destructive tidal wave of Soviet-sponsored
Nasserism.". . . The good wishes of Jews throughout the world

mann, president of the World Jewish Congress, in a telegram
on the occasion of Pope John's coronation . . . Scuttling of the

decision by an Orthodox synagogue in Atlanta, Congregation
Shearth Israel, to permit mixed seating during religious services,
was "deplored" by Moses I. Feurstein, president of the Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, who said it "is con-
trary to the increasing resistance of traditional synagogues to
deviationist tendencies.". . . A contribution of $550,000 for the
construction of a new, two-story Jewish community center in
East Flatbush section of Brooklyn has been donated by the Henry

creasing number of publications devoted to neo-Nazism, and at
the growing number of incidents of anti-Semitic vandalism. . . .

Nazism.

author, for having passed on
secret information to an agent
of a "foreign power."
The decision to try Cohen
came after two weeks of semi-
public knowledge that leading
Mapam member was under in-
vestigation of espionage. A' re-.
port in the newspaper of Ach-
dut Avodah, sister leftwing
Socialist Party, brought the
matter into the open.
In addition to the obvious
international ramifications of
the Cohen affair, the immedi-
ate reaction of the Mapam to
Achdut Avodah's action held
far - reaching implications for
domestic political developments.

Israel must choose its fourth
