Turkey Probes
Bigots' Writings
ISTANBUL, (JTA)—Istanbul
authorities were investigating
the publication of two books of
anti-Semitic character a f ter
protests were made by the
Jewish community here.
One book, "Turks, Here Is
Your Enemy," was written by
Cevat Rifat Atilhan, a noto-
rious anti-Semite. The cover il-
lustration portrays Turkish sol-
diers pointing their bayonets at
a Mogen David.
The other, "Ideas on the Edu-
cation of Turkish Boys," was
written by Suleyman Oz, an of-
ficial of the Istanbul Educa-
tion Department. It contains
anti-Semitic„ propaganda.
At the same time local news-
papers came out with critical
comments against the use of
Ladino and French in resort
places by Turkish Jews. The
articles, by writers who are
not anti-Semitic, complained
that Jews continued to refuse
to speak Turkish.
One newspaper also claimed
that Jews were heavily patron-
izing the best hotels and clubs
at summer resorts. 'Another
newspaper asserted that Jews
were showing off their wealth,
while the rest of the nation
faced economic difficulties.
Disqualified Mayor
Wins Post by Big Vote
PARIS, (JTA)—Sen. Fernand
Auberger, whose election as
mayor of a small French town
was annulled by the ,courts' be-
cause of his introduction of ra-
cial issues in his campaign
against his Jewish opponent,
was re-elected to the post, by
an even greater majority, when
new elections were held.
Henry Torres, noted French
barrister and head of the ad-
ministrative council of the
French radio and television, in
a broadcast, called on the
French Senate to disqualify
Auberger.
The annullment of Auberger's
election as mayor and a fine
imposed on him for violation
of the election laws, repre-
sented the first time the new
legislation barring appeals to
racial or religious bias in elec-
tions had been invoked. There
were no indications whether
the authorities- would act to
annul Auberger's re-election to
the mayoralty.

Most States Separate
Church from State,
Congress Survey Shows
NE.W YORK, (JTA) —The
principle of separation of
church and state is being up-
held by an "overwhelming ma-
jority" of the states; according
to results of a survey made
public by the American Jewish
Congress.
Only in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Florida is religious
teaching allowed in public
schools during school hours, the
study established.
In a 90-page report, the Amer-
ican Jewish Congress found that
the chief law-enforcement of-
ficers, of the states were faith-
fully supporting constitutional
religious safeguardS as inter-
preted by the United States
Supreme Court.
The study summarizes and
analyzes all available opinions
of state attorneys general on
issues involving church-state re-
lationships since the Everson
decision by the Supreme Court
in 1947. That decision held' that
the religious clause in the First
Amendment to the Federal Con-
Stitution was equally applicable
to the states.

second night in succession, a
Histadrut cultural. center was
destroyed, this time in Kiryat
Onno. Police, suspecting sabo-
teurs and arsonists , have
stepped up their efforts to track
down the perpetrators.

of the recent riots by North
African immigrants was staged
last month. Both cultural cen-
ters, at Kiryat Onno and at
Migdal Haemek, were totally
destroyed.
Special investigation teams
spread out over the country in
strenuous police efforts to find
not only the saboteurs, but to
locate also the center and guid-
ing hands of the incidents.
Meanwhile, a delegation of
women from the North African
immigrant quarter of Wadi Sa-
lib, in Haifa, met today with
the Haifa chief of police, de-
manding that all of the 70 men
arrested as a result of the Haifa
