Ban on Nazi Films
Clarified by Israel
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM — The mere
fact that a film uses the Ger-
man language is not reason for
banning its showing in Israel,
Minister of the Interior Israel
Bar Yehuda and a delegation
of cinema owners agreed this
week.
At the same time Bar Ye-
huda pointed out to the dele-
gation, which had come to com-
plain of picketing of film
houses showing such films,
that the increasing number of
German language films being
shown in Israel 15 years after
the Nazi destruction of 6,000,-
000 Jews was responsible for
the hostility.
Bar Yehuda reiterated the
principles governing the ban-
ning of films in Israel. A film
may not be shown if it was
either made in Germany or in
German-occupied country dur-
ing world war II, if it was
made in any country but shows
Nazis in favorable light or des-
cribes Germany or an occupied
country in such fashion as to
falsify the "terrible truth" of
the Nazi regime, or if it was
made with the participation of
former Nazis or ones associ-
ated with the Nazi theater or
film industry.

`Fate of World Depends on Israel,'
Ambassador Tsur Tells Bond Rally;
Expect to Pass $1,000,000 Mark
"On my last evening in the
United States and on the last
day of Hanukah, may I say how
happy I am to see the Menorah
shining in the hearts of all of
you in America."
With this greeting of both
hello and farewell. Yaacov Tsur,
Israel Ambassador to France,
told a capacity audience attend-
ing the Israel Bond Hanukah
Festival in the Fountain Room
of Masonic Temple that his gov-
ernment will never forget how
American Jewry "was with us"
during the past decade.
"In the last two or three
years," Ambassador Tsur said,
"it has appeared that the state
of Israel is not alone. We knew
that Jews all over the world
were with us, but now we see
that the non-Jews also are our
friends."
He related the exciting story
of Israel's creation by the Unit
ted Nations on Nov. 29, 1947,
and impassionedly told how the
600,000 _Jews in Palestine felt
about the idea of freedom.
"And the world looked at
us and they liked us," the
Ambassador recalled. "B u t
they didn't believe us. How
could just a few Jews survive
against 40,000,000 hostile
Arabs?"
Tsur then thought back to a
day in October of 1955 "when
again we felt as if we stood
alone." This was the period
when Russia sent arms to Nas-
ser, Tsur said, "but again we
were not alone for long."
He told how Moshe Sharett,
then Israel Foreign Minister,
went to the French Prime Min-
