Eban's Call To New Nations
Abba Eban, who holds the
posts of Member of the Israel
Cabinet and President of the
Weizmann Institute of Science,
is a busy man these days.. . .
His political activities keep him
most of the week in Jerusalem,
but when the weekend comes,
•he returns to his home on the
campus of the Weizmann Insti-
tute and turns his attention to
the preparations for the Inter-
national Conference on Science
for New Nations, to be held
Aug. 15 -under auspices of the
Weizmann Institute and Yad
Chaim Weizmann . • in a recent
call issued by Eban, he had
this to say about the ideas that
motivate this conference.
"Two great movements of his
story shape the life and destiny
pf our times—th-z. scientific
revolution with its glittering
discoveries and achievements
and the emancipation of new
nations, emerging one after the
other into the light and air
of freedom . . . I , . is this in-
teraction between the two ma-
jor currents of modern history
that has led the Weizmann In-
stitute to the decision to con-
vene an international confer-
ence with the participation of
scientists, economists, political
thinkers, social scientists and
representatives of new nations,
particularly those concerned
with economic and social plan-
ning." .
Final plans for this momen-
tous gathering are nearing com-
pletion . . . Among the topics
to be discussed will be: The
impact of science on the world
today; energy and electronics
science, water and agriculture,
population, nutrition and gene-
tics, science, medicine and
health, science and education,
science, economics and politics;
economics and social problems
of new states . -.Under these
headings, lectures will be de-
livered by some of the world's

leading authorities . . . The par-
ticipants will not be liniited to
scientists . . . Representatives
and delegations of developing
countries, particUlarly from
Asia and Africa, will attend .. .
It is expected that government
leaders, economists and plan-
ners, as • well as trade union
leaders, will come from the
Belgian Congo, Burma, Ceylon,
Chad, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guiana,
India, Iran, . the Ivory Coast,
Kamerun, Laos, Liberia, Mali,
Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines,
Sierra Leone, Singapore, Thai-
land, Turkey, Vietnam and
British territories in Central
and West Africa.
The organizers of this con-
ference believe that it is not
presumptuous for Israel to be-
lieve that, precisely because she
is small and ill-favored with
natural resources, her experi-
ence may be more instructive
for other small nations than
any example which they could
find in the life of rich an . d
powerful countries •. . . For, if
a state like Israel can over-
come natural scarcity and the
limitations of a niggardly
geography, surely the courage
and self-confidence of other
nations in like conditions will
be uplifted . . . The pioneering
of Israel, the original character
of her agricultural settlements
and the emphasis on science and
learning in the tradition of Is-
rael and of the Jewish people,
have combined to create an
expectation of an Israeli contri-
bution towards the solution of
acute problems facing our world
and our times.
Among the eminent authOri-
ties who have already accepted
Eban's invitation are: Sir Solly
Zuckermann of Great Britain,
Dr. Niels Bohr of Denmark, Dr.
N. Bhabha of India; Dr. J. B.
Wiesner and Dr. I. I. Rabi of
the U.S.A., Dr. E. B. Chain of
Italy, and many others of equal
stature.

Jefferson's Home City Acts to End Swastika Daubing

Jews in Charlottesville knew
the explosive potentialties. This
was one of the Virginia- cities
affected by the bitterly-disputed
Supreme Court order requiring
public school integration. Anti-
Semitic elements in the state
had sought to blame Jews for
integration developments. A
Richmond D a i l y newspaper
once went so far as to make
-open anti-Jewish allegations in
an editorial.
John Kasper, segregation-
ist agitator and anti-Semite,
was active in Charlottesville
before being sentenced to
prison on federal charges.
Klan-like elements still ex-
isted, brooding over integra-
tion. Were the Jews to be
the scapegoats?
Many people in Charlottes-
ville did not consider the anti-
Semitic manifestations serious.
They said the swastika rash was
"just another campus prank."
But an event was to cause
overnight crystallization of pro-
test Bigoted intruders sneaked
into St. Paul's Memorial Epis-
copal Church. It was badly de-
faced with Nazi symbols. Char-
lottesville knew that religious

CHARLOTTESVILLE, • Va.-1–
Local authorities are deter-
mined that. Nazi swastikas and
, anti-Jewish slogans shall not
desecrate Charlottesville, home
of Thomas Jefferson, champion
of religious liberty.
Although the swastika craze
subsided internationally,: it still
clings to this dignified Virginia
town, site of the University of
Virginia.
A few weeks ago, Jewish
students at the University
were shocked to see ominous
advice painted on the -wall
of Cabell Hall: "Jews go
home."
The University Hillel House
was defaced, as was Temple
Beth Israel, Charlottesville's
tiny synagogue.
These events were generally
shrugged off as part of a popu-
lar fad. But annoying acts per-
sisted. Anti-Semites marked
swastikas on Jewish homes and
even - entered private apartment
buildings to desecrate doors
of Jewish residents. They paint-
ed one anti-Jewish sign on the
third-floor apartment door of
a Jewish family. The anti-
Semitic activity was becoming
personalized.

KKK Spreads Anti-Semitic
Poison in West Germany

BONN, (JTA)—Anti-Semitic
propaganda is being spread in
West Germany by the Ku Klux
Klan. The -press service of the
Social Democratic party said
that circulars were sent from
Augsburg on March 11 which
urged recipients to write' to an
address in Texas for material
on KKK aims.
The circulars were apparently
prepared on an American type-
writer in bad German, accord-
ing to the report. The circular
lumped Zionism, Freemasonry,
the Vatican, Jesuits and Com-
munism as products of "spirit-
ual Jewry."

ern anti-Semites often harbor
deep prejudices against other
Protestant denominations.
The City Council moved with
determination. It unanimously
adopted an ordinance - making
it a crime to deface any reli-
gious institutions or other
property. The law provided a
fine of up to $500 and one yeast
in jail.
Even motor vehicles were
protected against swastika de-
facement.
Police action was intensified.
The City Council urged resi-
dents to heed and adopted a .
resolution urging that one
member of each household in
Charlottesville inform the other
members of his household of
the new law.
