Israel Invited by
Iran to 2,500th
Cyrus Anniversary

jEftUSALEM, (JTA) — Iran
has invited Israel to participate
in the 2,500th anniversary of
the reign of King Cyrus, famous
in Jewish history for permitting
captive Jews to return from
Babylon to Palestine in the
period between the first and
second Jewish commonwealths.
• The celebration will take place
in .1961.
According to tablets in the
British Museum, King Cyrus
. was the first monarch to pro-
. mulgate the • idea of legal
equality for all nations, races
- and religions. Iran hopes to
• turn the anniversary celebra-
. tiOns into a United Nations-
sponsored celebration of human
rights.
Hodj Eddin Haifa, the cul-
tural counsellor at the court of
the ShUli of Iran, met with Mrs.
Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign
- Minister, in an extension of his
•tour of Europe for the anniver-
- sarY. He asked for Israel and
worldwide Jewish cooperation.
