Documentary Works Issued in Paris
Expose USSR Anti-Semitic Activities
Windsor Jewry will celebrate
the bicentennial of permanent
Jewish settlement in Canada
with festive ceremonies begin-
ning today and continuing
through Sunday.
The colorful bicentennial pro-
gram began in Canadian cities
last October when a plaque was
dedicated at Three Rivers,
Que., in memory of Aaron Hart,
the first Jew to settle in that
community and the first Jew to
take up permanent residence
in Canada.
However, 21 years before
Hart came to Quebec, Canada
had seen its first Jew. Dis-
guised as a boy, 20-year-old
Esther Brandeau landed in
Canada. Eventually, she was
deported when she refused to
be baptised. Only Roman Cath-
olics were permitted to live
in new France at the time.
The bicentenary event, of
course, is based on Aaron Hart's
arrival in 1759. The Windsor
ceremonies will include an of-
ficial proclamation of the bi-
centenary by Windsor Mayor
J. Patrick at 10 a.m., today, at
the City Hall.
Excerpts from the proclama-
tion will be read in four lang-
uages. Myer Dorn, chairman of
the local bicentenary commit-
tee, will read in Hebrew; J. D.
Geller, president of the Jewish
Community Council, will read
the English section; Harry Nes-
sel, historian of the bicentenary
PARIS — Two documentary
works on anti-Semitism in the
Soviet Union were released in
France Tuesday, apparently to
coincide with the visit of Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
One was a comprehensive col-
lection of speeches, newspapers
articles and other material from
Soviet and Communist sources,
tracing the attitudes of the
Soviet Union and its satellites
toward Jews in the next few
years, with particular emphasis
on the post-Stalin period. The
material was assembled by
Francois Fejto.
The other was a collection
of translations from the Soviet
committee, will read a portion
in French; and Rubin Madoff,
past Council president, will
speak in Yiddish.
Services especially dedicated
to the history-making event
will take place Saturday morn-
ing at Shaarey Zedek and Shaar
Hashomayim Synagogues. •
Lavy M. Becker, national
vice-president of the Cana-
dian Jewish Congress from
Montreal, will be in Wind-
sor Sunday, when the city's
3,000 Jews participate in a
public program.
To be held at 8 p.m., in the
new Jewish Community Center,
1641 Ouellette, the program will
be chaired by Eli C. Golden,
immediate past president of the
Community Council.
Following the invocation by
Myer Dorn, J. D. Geller will out-
line the community's early his-
tory, which dates back to the
late 19th century. Joseph Klig-
man, principal of the Peretz
School, will give a view of the
bicentenary in Yiddish;
The Mayor's proclamation
will be repeated in Hebrew and
English by Arthur Zalev and
Samuel Schwartz, of the Shaar
Hashomayim Religious School,
and there will be a dramatic
presentation, "Member from
Three Rivers," by Allan Or-
man, Gerald Freed and Mrs.
Freed.
The program will conclude
with the reading of "Praise and
Thanks" by Sheldon Schwartz
and Zelda Knapp, students at
the Peretz School, accompanied
by Shuldamith Kligman.
Windsor Jewry has many
native sons to whom she can
lay claim to fame. The com-
munity is most proud of its
former Mayor, David A. Cron,
first elected in 1930. Croll
became the first Jew to be
appointed to the Canadian
Senate in 1950.
In addition to Cong. Shaarey
Zedek, the first synagogue built
in Windsor (1893), and Cong.
Shaar Hashomayim, its largest,
there is also Cong. Tifereth Is-
rael, founded in 1917 in East
Windsor, which then had a
able Jewish population.
Only last week, the first Re-
form congregation, Temple
Beth El, was founded. Opening
services will be held on April
15.

LONDON—The sum of 2,000,-
000 pounds sterling has been
earmarked by Premier Kas-
sem's Iraq government to aid in
setting up a Palestine Republic
and to train a "Palestinian
army," the Baghdad correspond-
ent of the London Times re-
ports.
Gen. Kassem, in what he
called a "realistic and practical
step," called on "Palestinians
everyWhere" to join in creating
a "Palestine Republic Army."
A course for reserve officers
and basic training for enlisted
men in the Palestinian army
will start April 15, according
to the report.
The Iraq Premier was quoted
as saying that those taking such
military training would be given
the same treatment as those
serving in the Iraqi army.

A number of Jewish publica-

open letters addressed to the
Soviet Premier, asking him to
take action about the .situation
of Jews in the Soviet Union. Al-
though Jews have been among
those meeting the Soviet Pre-

Hint Nasser-Nehru
Talks on Israel Gains
NEW DELHI — Official
sources were quoted here Tues-
day as indicating that Israel's
growing economic and cultural
ties with Asian and African
c ountri es are likely to be
brought up by President Nasser
of the United Arab Republic in
his talks with Premier Nehru
of India.
The Times of India, citing
such sources, also said that Nas-
ser probably would give Nehru
an idea of the "Arab case"
against Israel. The UAR leader
arrived in New Delhi Tuesday
with a group of his ministers.
(Confirmation that Nasser's
c on c ern about the growing
Israel ties with Afro-Asian
nations will figure in the Nas-
ser-Nehru talks came in a report
in the London times Tuesday.
The Times reported that the
first two days of Nasser's 12-
day visit to India would be
devoted mainly to exchanges of
views on Middle East issues and
international affairs as they
affect underdeveloped countries.
The two leaders also were ex-
pected to discuss the prospects
for the second Bandung confer-
ence, the Times said).
