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.

He said: "Even if the Diaspora were to be liquidated, that would take several generations. Meanwhile, we would lose part of it by as- similation.

"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. Won't You Join Me In This GREAT CRUSADE?
