Catholic Church in Spain Acts
,
to Better Relations with Jews

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

MADRID—For the first time
in centuries, the C a t h o l i c
Church in Spain is taking steps
to improve relations between
Catholics and Jews, it was re-
vealed here Tuesday during an
interview by a Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency correspondent
with Max Mazin, president of
the Madrid Jewish Community.
As result of disclosures • dur-
ing-the Adolf Eichmann trial
in Israel last year indicating
that "many Nazis, pro-Nazis and
former Nazis" had taken refuge
in Spain, Mazin said he dis-
cussed Catholic-Jewish relations
here with Monsignor Lahi-
guera, Deputy Bishop of Madrid.

"The Monsignor," said Ma-
zin, "showed interest in the

Rabbi Adler Defends
'Tenth Man' Artistry

Editor, The Jewish News:
There is a great deal of cur-
rent discussion about Paddy
Chayefsky's play "The Tenth
Man." I do not intend to add fire
to the discussion which appears
to have generated already more
heat than any other drama in
recent years. I wish to do no
more than to point up several
criteria of judgment which have
been invoked, which I believe
to be entirely extraneous.
The question is not what im-
pact Jewish characters in a
play will make on non-Jewish
playgoers, but are the Jews who
are portrayed authentic or not?
Has the dramatist honestly de-
picted an aspect of Jewish life,
however unpleasant or unflat-
tering it may be, or has he
distorted or fabricated it? In a
ward, the criterion of judgment
is not, to use a popular phrase
"whether it is good for Jews,"
but whether it is true or not.
A play by a Jewish author
- should not be, evaluated in
terms of its contribution to
good community relations. The
artist is not a propagandist. We
would stifle all hope for Jew-
ish creativity in the arts if we
were to make the artist the
defender of the Jewish name
or the fighter for Jewish rights.
He must be permitted freely to
deal with Jewish subjects and
to speak the truth, however un-
palatable, as he sees it. There
is a time and an instrument for
community relations and a time
and a medium for art and the
-two are not to be seen as iden-
tical and- interchangeable. The
discussion centering about "The
Tenth Man" would be more val-
uable and illuminating if the
questions discussed were, "Is it
true to life?" "Is it dramatical-
ly effective?" "Does it reveal
aristic integrity?" "Does it com-
municate a significant insight?"
Sincerely yours,
RABBI MORRIS ADLER
