President of Tanganyika Praises Syria Quells
Israel for Role in African Unity UAR-Inspired
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Presi- Israel to African unity.
President Nyerere told the Rebellion
dent Julius K. Nyerere of Tan-
ganyika, visiting Washington as
a guest of President Kennedy,
defended his country's relations
with Israel and Israel's role in
Africa.
Faced with hostile, pro-Arab
questions at the National Press
Club, the Tanganyikan Presi-
dent has asked about the con-
cern of Egypt and other North
African states over Israeli "neo-
colonialism" in Africa, and the
alleged dangers constituted by
Press Club that some of his
country's avowed friends were
not "friends" themselves. He
said "we pick our friends and
we don't allow our friends to
pick enemies for us." He empha-
sized that "we don't believe that
our relations with Israel under-
mine African unity." Israel and
Tanganyika maintain cordial re-
lations, and many Israelis are
working there on development
proj ects.
Bigotry's Growth Belies Heritage
By David Schwartz
(Copyright, 1963, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)
Would George Washington,
the father of his country, be
proud of his children today?
They have become more nu-
merous and a father is always
pleased at that. Also, the coun-
try has greatly advanced tech-
nologically and Washing-
ton showed a keen interest that
way, but Washington was chair-
man of the convention which
formulated the Constitution of
the United States, and if he
knew what some trying to do
to that today, he probably would
not feel so happy.
There is a widespread, under-
ground drive to rewrite ale Con-
stitution with a variety of
amendments of a reactionary
nature, to curb the power of
the Supreme Court, to estab-
lish minority rule, and there is
talk of amending the Bill of
Rights, and to nullify the Su-
preme Court's recision about re-
ligion in the public schools.
We seem to be departing from
the ideals of the founding fa-
thers. Bigotry is growing. There
were plenty of bigots in the
earlier days too, but the point
is that the Washingtons, Jeffer-
sons, Hamiltons, Paines and
Franklins had control. Jeffer-
son tells of some church lead-
ers trying to get from Wash-
ington a commitment about re-
ligion. They knew that Washing-
ton was averse to the scram-
bling of church and state. He
didn't like that kind of ome-
lette.
They went about it a bit
underhandedly. They pre-
sented a questionnaire on
various topics, including one
on religion, but Jefferson
noted "the wily fox" (mean-
ing Washington) answered all
questions but the one one re-
ligion.
In his letter to the Newport
synagogue, Washington wrote:
"It is now no more that tolera-
tion is spoken of as if it were
by the indulgence of one class
of people than another enjoyed
the exercise of their natural
rights." (Nowadays only the
bigots seeem to think they have
natural rights).
Jefferson was so adament
about the separation of church
and state that he even refused
to issue a proclamation for
the celebration of Thanksgiv-
ing Day, with its minimal relig-
ous content.
Proud as he w - s of the law,
he knew that the victory was
far from complete. "Although
we are free by law, we are not
so in practice. Public opinion
Shrinks Hemorrhoids
Without Surgery
Stops Itch—Relieves Pain
For the first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids and to relieve pain — without
surgery. In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new

covery of a world-famous research

able in suppository or ointment form

erects itself into an Inquisition
and exercise its offices with as
much fanaticism as fans the
flames of the auto da fe."
No President was more at-
tacked by the religious bigots.
When Jefferson ran for the
Presidency, it was said that he
planned to confiscate all the
Bibles and burn them, and that
in case of war, he would put
the preachers in the front lines.
Franklin wrote a chapter of
the Bible to warn against big-
otry. He had come across an
old rabbinic legend, which tells
of Abraham first offering a way-
farer his hospitality and then
discovering he was an idolator,
ejecting him from his home.
Whereupon, God admonished
him, "Abraham, I have borne
with this man all these years,
but thou cannot bear him for
one night!"
He rewrote the legend in
Biblical style, calling it the
Parable of Persecution, and
had it bound with the Bible
as an additional chapter of
Genesis. When a bigot came
spouting venom against some
minority, he would take it out
and let him read the "chapter"
in the Bible.
Lincoln was regarded as free
religiously. When he ran for
Congress, his a p p o n en t, a
preacher, Cartwright, sought to
make an issue of it. Appearing
in joint debate, Cartwright, in-
stead of discussing the issues,
began to portray heaven and
hell, and turning to Lincoln,
said: "Mr. Lincoln, where are
you going?"
"Brother Cartwright," said
Lincoln, "I am going to Con-
gress."
Syria Holds 6 Caught
on Excursion from Israel
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
(Special to The Jewish News)
Syria's government crushed an
uprising of civilians lead by dis-
charged army officers in the
early hours Thursday.
There was no immediate in-
dication of the political leanings
of the rebels, but they were be-
lieved to be adherents of the
United Arab Republic scheme to
unify the Arab world under
Egypt's President Nasser.
The announcement that the
revolt had failed was broadcast
after Damascus Radio was silent
for two hours.
Diplomatic reports reaching
Beirut, Lebanon, said that tanks,
automatic weapons and small
arms had been in action in the
plotters' attempt to seize the
army headquarters and radio
station.
The restored radio then began
transmitting messages of sup-
port from the army, as well as
pledges of military aid for Iraq.
TEL AVIV — Syrian officials
informed Israel Tuesday
through United Nations observ-
ers that they were holding six
persons missing since Saturday
after departing for a boat trip
on Lake Tiberias.
Israel demanded the imme-
diate return of the group which
included three Belgian citizens,
charging that they were kid-
napped by Syrians who entered
Israeli territory. According to
reports here, the six persons
sailed to the northern shore of

24,000 Youngsters
in 13 Countries Go to
Camp with JDC Help
A record number of 116 camps
for Jewish children are in oper-
ation this summer in 13 coun-
tries of Europe, North Africa
and the Middle East, with the
financial assistance of the Joint
Distribution Committee, it was
reported in Geneva, Switzerland,
by Charles H. Jordan, JDC di-
rector-general. More than 24,000
boys and girls will enjoy sum-
mer vacations of three weeks to
two months in these camps be-
fore the summer is over, he
noted.
Of the 116 camps supported
by JDC, with United Jewish Ap-
peal funds, 71 are in France,
Jordan reported. This reflects
the impact of last year's arrival
of 120,000 Jews from Algeria. In
1961 the summer camp program
in France served 5,900 children;
in 1962 the figure jumped to
9,000; this year the number will
be more than 10,000.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (JTA)—The
St. Paul United Jewish Fund
and Council has concluded its
1963 campaign with a total of
$451,140 in cash and pledges, 12
per cent more than the amount
raised in 1962.

Bulgaria Observes
Date of Resistance to
Deportation of Jews
LONDON (JTA) — The 20th
anniversary of a demonstration
conducted in 1943 against the
Nazis' order for the deportation
of the Bulgarian Jews, described
as "another instance of Jewish
resistance, almost forgotten,"
was observed in Sofia, capital of
Bulgaria, according to dispatches
received here.
The observancerecalled Jew-
ish and Bulgarian reactions • to
the Nazi deportation order of 20
years ago. When the Nazis made
that order public, the Jews of
Sofia, supported by Bulgarians,
staged a demonstration in the
capital's Clementine Square. The
Jews were supported by t h e
Orthodox Church, Socialists and
Communists, liberals, writers,
artists and many leading citizens.
Facing such mass resistance,
the Nazis cancelled the deporta-
tion order. The anniversary dem-

anti-Zionist American Council
for Judaism asked the Vatican
authorities to introduce its re-
ported resolution against anti-
Semitisin at the next session
of the Ecumenical Council with-
out fear of antagonizing the
Arabs.
In a letter to the A•ostalic
Delegate to the United States,
the Most Reverend E g i d i o
Vagnozzi, Clarence Coleman,
president of the ACJ said that
a statement by the Catholic
Church condemning anti-Semi-
tism would have "unquestion-
able moral force." He expressed
belief that a ringing statement
in condemnation of anti-Semi-
tism could be done "without
political offense to the 'Arab
states'."
(Saadat Hasan, chief of press
and public liaison for the Arab
Information Center, comment-
ing on reports that the Ecumeni-
cal Council might be considering
a statement opposing anti-Semi-
tism, said: "A statement by the

ing between Jews and Judaism
and the Israeli Zionist apparatus
would not be regarded as offen-
sive to Arab feelings.")

An earlier report was that
