Teheran Jewry's Center Is Beacon in Moslem Lands
TEHERAN (WJA) —The
Koresh Kabir Cultural Center
has during the first ten years of
its existence made a major con-
tribution to rejuvenating the an-
cient community of Persia by
instilling in the young genera-
tion understanding and knowl-
edge of Judaism, of world Jewry
and of Israel. Reports received
by the cultural department of
the World Jewish Congress de-
scribe the center "as a beacon of
culture in Asia, among a Moslem
community." Its establishment
and functioning have been made
possible by the consistently sym-
pathetic attitude shown by the
Persian authorities. Material help
has been rendered by a number
of international Jewish organiza-
tions, among them the World
Jewish Congress.
The center is named in honor
of King Cyrus the Great who per-
mitted the return of the Jews
from "captivity" and the rebuild-
ing of the Temple in Jerusalem;
his memory has been held in
highest esteem by Persian Jewry
during the centuries. The cultural
revival which the center aims to
achieve is based both on a feel-
ing of close traditional attach-
ment and on devotion to Jewish
values. In implementing its pro-
gram the center holds Hebrew
classes, supplies information on
Jewish communities all over the
world and arranges seminars for
young people. Participants are
being given the opportunity of
a two months' visit to Israel.
Clubs for young Jewish intel-
lectuals and for teenagers, a
multilingual library on Jewish
and related topics, a "Bialik Lit-
erary Club" for the study of
Hebrew and world literature
serve as important instruments
in promoting appreciation of Jew-
ish values. The center also acts

Manitoba Refrains
From Subsidizing
Parochial Schooli
WINNIPEG, (JTA) — Officials
of the Manitoba provincial gov-
ernment were reported to have
decided that the best thing to
do about a controversial Royal
Commission recommendation • to
provide subsidies to the Catholic
and Jewish schools in the pro-
vince is to do nothing.
When the recommendation was
made a year ago, Premier Duff
Roblin and his Cabinet announced
plans to implement it on the
assumption that sectarian dispute
over such aid was a matter of the
past. But in the intervening year
the issue has aroused heated
controversy, with church, political
•and civic groups all taking strong
'public stands on the proposal.
Informed sources said that as
long as the private and parochial
schools do not take any action,
the government will sit tight. If
pressure is built up for imple-
mentation, the government will
then order a referendum to let
the public decide. Such a referen-
dum was considered almost cer-
taM to vote _down the proposal.
These sources also said that
the government is ready to tell
proponents of the grants that if
they are willing to let the issue
rest a year or two, the govern-'
ment will propose a teacher grant
formula for all teachers which

Jewish History, organ of the

articles:
Emanuel Applebaum, editor
of the publication, writes on
"Second Lieutenant 'Raymond
Zussman, C.M.H.", relating the
'heroism of Zussman in World
War II which won for him post-
humously the nation's highest
award for valor, the Congress-

Irving I. Katz, vice-president
of -the JHSM, tells the life story
of "Julius Houseman — Michi-

Congressman", and h as t w o
other brief items, one on "Sig-
nificant Jewish Anniversaries

An article on "Cadillac and
the Lost Tribes of Israel" by
Allen A. Warsen is based on a
document originally published
in Pierre Margry's "Decouvertes
et Etablissement dei Francais
(Paris, 1876-1886)".
Warsen describes Cadillac's
belief that the Indians are the
descendants of Isr a el's lost
tribes, and reviews some of the
literature dealing with this sub-
ject.
