LONDON (JTA)—Lord Bert-
rand Russell's reiterated appeal
to the Soviet government to
abandon anti-Jewish discrimina-
tion—which the Moscow leading
newspaper "Izvestia" refused to
publish—was made public here.
The appeal, addressed as a letter
to the editor of the Izvestia,
reads:
"I am pleased to see that the
letter written by Premier Khrush-
chev to me concerning t h e
condition of Soviet Jews was
published in Izvestia along with
one of the letters I have written
on this subject to Premier
Khrushchev. I have also read
with genuine interest the read-
ers' letters which comment on
o u r correspondence. I a m

sympathetic to what they say of
the achievements of the Soviet
Union with regard to the aboli-
tion of legal disabilities imposed
011 Jews during Czarist days.
"This is a matter of special
interest to me because my grand-
father was responsible for the
elimination of legal discrimina-
tion against the Jews in Great
Britain. I am a friend of the
Soviet Union, of her people and
of her desire to improve and
advance the conditions under
which her citizens live. I am an
ardent campaigner for close and
genuinely cooperative relations
between the peoples and govern-
ments of the western countries
and the Soviet Union. I am a
passionate opponent of the cold
war and of all attempts to in-
crease hostility, exploit differ-
ences and add to the terrible
dangers facing mankind today.

"I know that no Soviet citi-
zen will misunderstand me
or think that when I speak
frankly I wish to harm the
Soviet Union or cooperate
with those who promote the
cold war. One of the tests of

friendship is the ability to
speak frankly without fear of
being mistaken for an enemy
or of being misunderstood. I
hope; therefore, that you will
appreciate the spirit in which
I am now writing, one of con-
cern for the Soviet people and
not a spirit of condemnation.
"The Jews have been subjected
to a long and continuous perse-
cution in the history of Europe.
The culmination of this • cruelty
wa3 the wholesale extermination
of millions of Jews during our
lifetime—one of the worst, bar-
baric crimes in all human his-
tory. If ever a people were de-
serving of understanding a n d
sympathetic treatment under
harsh suffering it is the Jews of
Europe.
"I should hope, therefore; that
the Jews would be permitted
full cultural lives, religious free-
dom and rights of a national
group in practice as well as in
law. During the last years of
Stalin's life, Soviet Jews were
totally deprived of their national
culture and means of expressing
it. Leading intellectuals were
imprisoned or executed by
extra-legal practices which have
since been condemned.
"I am concerned that the proc-
ess of restitution of Jewish cul-
tural activities has been slow.
The journals and theaters of
much smaller groups are more
plentiful and closure of syna-
gogues and shortage of religious
facilities have impaired the Jews
in the pursuit of their beliefs.
"I am troubled that there
should be articles in Soviet
journals of many republics ex-
pressing hostility of Jewish
people as such. I understand
the objection to economic of-
fenses such as were expressed
in the letter to me by Premier
KhrusIrchev. I feel, however,
that the death penalty upon
citizens accused of these
crimes harms the Soviet Union
and allows those hostile to
her unjustly to malign her.
"I consider the fact that 60
per cent of those executed are
Jews to be gravely disturbing. I
fervently hope that nothing will
take place which obliges us to
believe that Jews are receiving
unjust treatment in contradiction
to the law and that those who
break Soviet laws concerning
economic offenses will be reha-
bilitated instead of being put to
death.
"I cannot too strongly appeal
for understanding in the diffi-
culty experienced by those in
the West who are working dedi-
catedly to ease tension, promote
peaceful coexistence and to end
the cold war. These objects are
harmed by events which those
who desire a cold war can ex-
ploit and . which trouble us who
wish peace and good relations.
I write as a friend, but one
whose friendship requires
honesty."

Senator Keating-Charges U.S. Aided

without U. S. assistance.
Speaking at the inaugural din-
ner of the Westchester division
of the American Jewish Com-
mittee, the Senator warned that
it is not only unwise to subsidize
Nasser's arms purchases, but it
is "directly in contradiction to
the aims of our aid program and
of our over-all foreign policy in
the Middle East."
He pointed out that since 1952
more than $862,000,000 of Ameri-
can aid has gone to Egypt, with
the bulk of it spent on the food-

It is an amazing fact that forty per cent of all
American families who live in their own homes
own those homes free of any debt of any kind.
Savings and Loan Associations contributed to
this accomplishment by developing the modern
home loan which is paid off in monthly
installments like rent. A home loan to fit your
