Ask UN Body to Act on Suppression
of Judaism 'in Certain Countries'

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—The suppression of Jew-
ish religion in a number of un-
named countries was cited at a
meeting of the Subcommission
on Prevention of Discrimination
and Protection of Minorities
now in session here.
The Subcommission, a United
Nations unit, is debating a re-
port dealing wit h religious
rights and practices in countries
which are UN members.
Attention was drawn to the
suppression of the Jewish reli-
gion by Dr. Maurice L. Perlz-
weig, speaking on behalf on the
World Jewish Congress.
Pointing out that the United
Nations has specialized agencies
which concern themselves spe-
cifically with guarantees against

discrimination in labor, on one
hand, and education, on the oth-
er, Dr. Perlzweig told the meet-
ing that the UN itself must
ward rights in the field of re-
ligion.
The WJC spokesman told the
subcommission that he person-
ally, as a practicing rabbi, had
experienced instances in syna-
gogues, "on three continents"
where the Jewish religious serv-
ices were conducted "as though
they were clandestine."
That experience, he said,
showed that all religions must
be given the right to practice
their faiths publicly as well as
privately.
The WJC representative also
asked the subcommission to es-
tablish among its basic rules a
provision that parents must have
the right to provide religious in-
struction for their children "in
and through the religious com-
munity" of their own choice.
A third important freedom,
said Dr. Perlzweig, must be the
right of churches, synagogues
and temples to have open con-
tact with their religious com-
munity, nationally or interna-
tionally. "To deny facilities for
cooperation in the service of
common aims," he stated,
"makes a mockery of freedom
of religion."
At an earlier session, Dr. Ar-
kot Krishnaswami, noted India
social scientist, proposed to the
subcommission a set of 12 basic
rules for the guidance of UN
member states in the preVention
of bias in religious matters.

HAIFA—Dr. David Abir, sen-
ior lecturer at the Technion
here, has just been awarded the
annual Ruppin Prize, given by
this ctiy in memory of the noted
Zionist leader, Dr. Arthur Rup-
pin.
The award is given for out-
standing contributions to tech-
nology or literature in Israel
during the preceding year.
Dr. Abir was selected as the
award winner for his new book
on "Aerodynamics," just pub-
lished by the Israel Air Force
and Maarachot, the Israel Army
Press.
The book provides pilots and
aeronautical technicians with a
basic understanding of the phys-
ical principles of flight. Its `Death Bath' Nazi

JERUSALEM — The moisture
of the heavy rain of the past
two days has evaporated, and
dry weather again is general
in Israel, with no indications
of additional rain in the im-
mediate future, weather auth-
orities reported here.
The recent rainfall provided
Israel with less than a third
of the precipitation needed
now, they said.
Kaddish Luz, Israel's Minis-
ter of Agriculture, called for
a maximum national effort to
conserve water, asserting that
the water shortage situation
was "grave." He reported that
there was virtually no hope
for the Negev crops. This has
been the worst drought in a
decade.
The Minister announced that
he has named a special com-
mittee to work out means of
conserving water. In addition,
his office is drafting a priority
list of crops to be irrigated
with whatever water is avail-
able.
Fodder for cattle, groves and
orchards of food-bearing trees
will receive their full share
of water, while new orchards
and garden vegetables and
sugar beet acreage will be con-
trolled. Home gardens will re-
ceive limited supplies of water.

Fast. Action Against Locusts
Reduces Damage to Crops

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Quick
action with crop-dusting planes
and trucks against Israel's worst
locust invasion in 43 years this
winter reduced the damage to
crops to the least of any of the
invasions, the Ministry of Agri-
culture reported.
Crop losses were reported by
the Jordanian press to be sub-
stantial. A shortage of fodder
resulting from the drought and
insect damage has forced farm-
ers to sell sheep at $1.50 a head
and camels at $5.50.

Artists Score in
Sonata Concert

Appearing in an all-sonata
program Wednesday night,
Aaron Rosand, on the violin
and Eileen Flissler, at the
piano, turned in a satisfying
performance of sonatas by
Brahms, Bloch and Franck.
The program, under the aus-
pieces of the Detroit Friends
of Music, was the first in a
series of five concerts to be
presented this season at the
Hayim Greenberg Center.
The artists played with con-
summate skill and great under-
standing, showing themselves
to best advantage in the de-
lightful melodic lines of the
Bloch work. Bad weather pre-
vented a greater turn-out than
would be expected, but those
who let the elements deter
them missed a fine concert.
"The Hebrew Melody" was
played as an encore.
Next program in the series
will be presented on Feb. 11,
and will feature Emma Schaver,
Kenneth Goldsmith, Nathan
Gordon and Paul Olefsky. For
tickets or further information,
call UN. 4-0730.
