Germans Less Opposed to Jews
Holding High Office, Poll Shows
Any misgivings the German
man-in-the-street may have had
about Jews holding high gov-
ernment jobs have diminished
over the past -five years, ac-
cording to the World Jewish
Congress.
In 1956, 24 per cent of those
polled voiced no objections. To-
day 35 per cent are unopposed.
In 1936, 29 per cent raised
serious, and 26 per cent, some
objections. The passage of five
years has changed those per-
centages to 19 per cent in both
categories.

Delay Trial of Two Policemen Who Assaulted Jews
PARIS, (JTA) — The trial of
two Moslem policemen charged
with shouting anti-Semitic re-
marks in a shooting attack seri-
ously wounding several Jews in
Paris was postponed until Jan-
uary because one of the - polic
men disappeared.
The two policemen, know
harkis, broke into a cafe last
shouting "dirty Jewish dogs"
shooting at the patrons. One
the victims was invalided by the
bullet wounds. The case has be-
come a major issue among Frenc
Jews with various
protests. The

"Even if the Diaspora were to

"This does not mean cultural
isolation," Mr. Sharett continued.
"It means a wholesome Jewish
personality, open to all cultures
but cherishing-his own, and re-
maining faithful to the traditions
and the past of his people. The
freedom which is enjoyed by the
Jews all over the West can be
used as a mighty instrument for
the assertion of their own indi-
viduality. But, in order that Jews
do so, we require a mighty effort
in the field of education."
Jewish . consciousness in the
West, Sharett stated, "is but a
pale reflection of the intense spir-
itual loyalty that resided among
East European Jewry. Even the
message of Israel must be brought
home to Western Jews; it does
not come over to them by itself."
At the same time, he emphasized,
"the young Israelis must be edu-
cated to the idea that every Jew
is their brother and sister; it
does not come to them automati-
cally," he said.

A WORD ABOUT
CITY OF HOPE
This is the time of year
when young people flock
to the campuses all over
America to take up their
college career. For those
wlqo are just beginning
t e i r college education, '
this is both a serious and
exciting event. For one
young man at a University
in a northern state, it is
especially important, and
as he starts the prepara-
tion for his Iife's work, he
breathes a silent prayer
of thanks to the City- of
Hope. A little less than
two years ago, nineteen-
year-old Robert was
wheeled into the fierce
g l a r e of the operating
lights in the s u r g i c.a 1
theater at your pilot Med-
ical Center. Born with a
serious heart defect, he
had been handicapped all
his 1 i f e. The symptoms
Were becoming more se-
vere, threatening Robert
with invalidism . . . or
worse. Doctors and hos-
pitals in his home town
offered little encourage-
ment to' the stricken
youth. His family's modest
financial resources w e r e
strained to the breaking
point. Like thousands of
others, they turned to the
City of Hope in their hour
of need.
These stories of human
heartache do not always
have a happy ending, but
Robert was one of the
fortunate ones. The
skilled hands of the City
of Hope surgical team re-
paired Robert's heart, and
their loving care restored
his sorely tried spirit.
