Britain Charged
With Bias to
Jewish Visitors
LONDON (JTA)—Charges of
discrimination in the admission
of Jews as visitors from abroad
and in naturalization precedures
were voiced in Commons by a
number of Laborite members
of Parlia men t. Afterwards,
Home Secretary R. A. Butler an-
nounced that certain restric-
tions would be relaxed in re-
ference to the elderly relatives
of naturalized citizens.
Maurice Orbach, Laborite,
charged that "every singe Jew
who has asked to be naturalized
has been reported to me as
having been asked 'are you a
Zionist?"" Mr. Orbach asserted
that aliens seeking citizenship
had to pass through a series of
formulas, and"people of a cer-
tain faith had been asked if
they had particular political af-
filiations."
The MP also cited the case of
a Jewish refugee woman from
Egypt with nursing experience
who, in Paris, had been offered
a job in England by a noted
hospital. However, he added,
authorities would not let her
come to England because she
was stateless.
Laborite Sidney Silverman
cited the case of an Israeli who
had been invited to Britain to
attend the opening by Queen
Elizabeth of a memorial at
Brookwood. But when he ar-
rived a week before the 'cere-
mony, he was deported to the
continent, despite an offer by
his sister to post security. Only
after the sister, who had not
seen the Israeli in 20 years. in-
sisted, was she granted 15 min-
utes to speak to her brother,
Mr. Silverman said, and then
only in the presence of a police
officer.

Hebrew Corner
Hanukah
Translation of Hebrew Column
Published by Brit Ivrit
When evening fell and the
first stars appeared in the sky,
little lights could be seen in
the windows of all the houses
— lights of the Festival of the
Maccabeans. ,
Grandfather lit the first
candle and little Ronnie in a
loud voice sang Maoz Zur
Yeshuati (Fortress, Rock of my
Salvation).
When he had finished sing-
ing the child turned to his
grandfather and asked: "Grand-
father! What is the difference
between the Festival of Han-
ukah in the Diaspora and the
Festival here in Israel?"
Grandfather caressed t h e
head of his grandchild and
said quietly; "What is the dif-
ference? It is difficult to say.
The same candles, the same
benedictions, the same songs.
Over there it was a little cold-
er outside — but that is not
the important thing. Come
with me Ronnie and we will
go out into the street."
Outside all the windows were
lit up with lighted candles and
Hanukiot (candelabra) of all
kindS stood in the show win-
dows of the shops.
In the distance, on Mount
Scopus, a big candelabrum
burnt. From Mount Zion, too
the happy lights sent their fes-
tival blessing.
"What do you feel?" asked
arandfather.
"Festival!"
"Yes! A festival in the heart
and a festival in the street,
festival in the house and festi-
val in the city. And that is
the difference. Abroad every-
one celebrated in his own
heart, in his house, but in the
street the night was cold like
all the nights.
"Here in Israel Hanukah is
the festival of the whole coun-
try, in the home and in the
street, in the town and in the
country. Here I feel that "A
great Miracle was Wrought
Here!"
