Israeli Children's Paintings at 'Met' Heated Israeli-Arab Debate Before UN Council
Delays FAO and Arab League Draft Treaty

"Paintings by Israeli Young People" are being shown at
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art this summer in an
exhibit arranged by the National Women's Division of the
American Jewish Congress. The paintings were done by Israeli
boys and girls, aged 12 to 18, attending the annual "Summer
Art Workshop" at the Louise Waterman Wise Youth Center
in Jerusalem. The Center was built and is maintained by the
AJ Congress Women's Division. Painting above—"In the Ghet-
to"—shows a faceless mother holding a faceless child against a
background of burning buildings. The artist is Shulamith
Steiner, 16, born in a concentration camp in Yugoslavia. Plans
are now being made for a nationwide tour of the paintings
by the American Federation of Arts.

Dr. Hertz' Statement
on Freedom Festival

Dr. Richard C. Hertz, who
was appointed chairman of
Jewish activities for the first
annual International Freedom
Festival by Mayor Louis C.
Miriani, this week issued the
following staterilent:
"The Jewish( community of
Detroit happily rejoices over
the first annul International
Freedom Festival commemo-
rating America's Independence
Day and Canada's Dominion
Day. Saturday and Sunday,
June 27-28. are being set aside
in all the temples and syna-
gogues of Metropolitan Detroit
for a special recognition of
freedom of religion, especially
precious in the two great na-
tions of North America whose
peoples have lived side by
side in friendship and mutual
respect for generations.
"Freedom of religion is a
bulwark of the inner strength
that undergirds Canada and
the United States. The right
of the individual to pray as
he pleases, when he pleases,
where he pleases and how he
pleases, is a precious right
honored and respected through-
out the two countries.
"This freedom of spiritual
self-expression must always be
safeguarded. False ideologies
from abroad have offered glit-
tering Utopias at the price of
personal and group freedom.
Jewish history teaches the
painful lesson that where there
is no freedom of the soul.
there must inevitably follow
a slavery of the spirit. We
need to count our blessings
while we have them and re-
solve to keep safe the most
precious of all freedoms—free-
dom of religion."

Moroccan Leader Urges
`Complete Integration'

PARIS, (JTA) — Jews in
Morocco are told that they must
be "integrated completely in
the Morrocan nation. It would
not be to their benefit to have
one leg here and the other one
with the Zionists who drove out
the Arabs" from Palestine,
warned Allal Fassi, leader of
the conservative wing of the
Istiqlal Party.
In a statement published in
the Moroccan press, the Moroc-
can leader comments on the re-
cent arrests of Jews in Morocco
and on the desire on the part of
some Jews to emigrate from

Morocco to IsraeL

Israel, Jordan
Find Common Foe

JERUSALEM, (JTA) —
Israel and Jordan started a
joint campaign to fight the
locust plague affecting the
entire region. Within an
hour after an agreement was
made, at a meeting of the
Israeli-Jordanian Mixed Ar-
mistice Commission, teams
of Israeli and Jordanian an-
ti-locust fighters started
their joint war against the
pests.
Ground crews synchroniz-
ed their activities along the
border, and were to continue
around-the-clock operations.
By daylight, Israeli and Jor-
danian planes were to join
in spraying operations in the
affected areas along the bor-
der.

ARAMCO Case
May Get Action
from U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A
Senate resolution calling on the
State Department to resist anti-
Jewish pOlicies of the Saudi
Arabian government imple-
mented within the United States
by the Arabian-American Oil
Co. may be introduced this
session.
It was learned that several
Senators consider the State De-
partment's attitude not suffi-
ciently mindful of the rights
and human dignity of American
citizens of Jewish faith.
The resolution envisaged
would proclaim the sense of
the Senate on resistance to
attempts by Saudi Arabia to
export anti-Jewish policies to
the United States through
ARAMCO.
William B. Macomber, Jr.,
Assistant Secretary of State,
reiterated defense of a State
Department position that a
finding against Aramco's anti-
Jewish policies by the New
York State Commission Against
Discrimination would harm the
company's operations in Saudi
Arabia "and would probably
adversely affect other U.S. in-
terests there as well."
Macomber wrote Sen. E. L.
Bartlett, Alaska Democrat, that
"the Department does have an
obligation to provide state au-
thorities with information re-
specting the policies of other
governments and of our own in
foreign lands."

Adoption Bill 4Passes Knesset

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News

JERUSALEM — Israel's civil
courts will have executive au-
thority to issue adoption orders
under a bill which has passed
its first reading in the Knesset.
Rejecting objections of reli-
gious party deputies. Pinchas
Rosen. Minister of Justice. who
introduced the bill on behalf of
the government, said that Jew-
ish religious law does not cover
adoptions of children, only
guardianship. He said that there
was, therefore. no conflict be-
tween Israel's civil and reli-
gious courts in this area.
The basic provision of the
bill is establishment of proce-
dures for the termination of
obligations and rights between
the child and its natural par-;
ents and blood relatives and
the transfer of those obliga-
tions and rights to the adopted
child and the adopting parents.
The Justice Minister. in reply
to questions, said that the

Belfast Paper Recalls
Famed Jewish Citizen

A recent article in the Bel-
fast (Ireland) Telegraph recalls
the life of one of its famous
citizens and twice Lord Mayor.
Sir Otto Jaffe.
Sir Otto, who died 30 years
ago . at the age of 83, was
descended from an illustrious
line of rabbis called Jaffe, the
Hebrew word for "beauty."
Known as a man of great char
and good will, he gave gen-
erously to the Royal Victoria
Hospital and built a school en-
tirely at his own expense.
When another prominent
citizen offered 2,000 pounds
for the better equipment of
Queen's University, on the con-
dition that an equal sum be
subscribed by the public, Sir
Otto contributed 3,000 pounds
and used his influence to raise
a total sum of 70.000 pounds.
Born at Hamburg, in 1846, he
came to Ulster at 12 for his
education. He joined his father's
linen firm of Jaffe Bros., and
in 1892 was elected to repre-
sent St. George's Ward in the
Belfast Corp. Seven years later
he became Lord Mayor.
A year before his second
term as Lord Mayor, Otto Jaffe
was knighted by the Earl of
Cadogan, then Lord-Lieutenant.

adoptees' natural parents would
continue to be recorded in the
national population registry to
avert any possibility of an
adopted child marrying a sibl-
ing.
Contending that the measure
would fill a serious gap in pres-
ent arrangements. Rosen dis-
closed that 107 children were
adopted by non-relatives in
1957. Of these. he said, 81 were
born out of wedlock and 11
came from separated families.
Ile said 115 other children had
been adopted by relatives of
the parents.
