Bonds Help Build Ships for Israel
Milton Rokeach's Study of Deluded Mental Patients
Israel's merchant marine, which has passed the million-ton
mark, is being spurred by ship construction at the Israel Shipyards
Ltd., Haifa, established with the aid of Israel Bonds. More than 1,000
persons are employed at the shipyard where a new 3,500-ton coastal
freighter is shown under construction against the background of the
city of Haifa. Israel's merchant fleet, which consisted of a single
ship when the country achieved independence, has been developed
to the point where it includes 100 vessels in use or under construc-
tion, among them freighters, ventilated citrus-carriers and a number
of luxury liners.
Prof. B. C. Cohen's Analysis of
'The Press and Foreign Policy'
In "The Press and Foreign Pol-
icy," published by Princeton Uni-
versity Press, Prof. Bernard C.
Cohen of the University of Wis-
consin deals with the interaction
between government spokesmen
and the press and expresses the
hope for more systematic analyti-
cal attention to policy planning.
He deplores the fact that the
press "at best contributes only
randomly to intelligent policy-
making in the democratic context
and at worst is destructive of co-
herence and planning in the pur-
suit of foreign policy objectives."
Asserting that "the policy maker
is a source of news as well as a
consumer of it, and he can exer-
cise some influence on the pub-
lic-information environment with-
in which he makes his decisions,"
Dr. Cohen concludes:
"One might hope that in a sit-
uation where reporters were pro-
fessionally as interested in the
developmental aspects of interna-
tional political relations as in the
hard news aspects of c u r r e n t
events, the official might find
more grounds for cooperation with
reporters. For if policy officials
could help to narrow the gap be-
tween their own definitionS of de-
veloping situations and those that
prevail among interested groups
on the outside, they might have
less reason to fear that public "in-
trusion' in the policy-making proc-
ess would be disturbing in its im-
pact.... Precisely because infor-
mation is power, one can expect
that others in a democratic sys-
tem wil demand access to it. And
since foreign policy officials in a
democratic society also need the
power that comes from public ac-
quiescence in and support of the
choices they make, they may be ex-
pected to have an interest in find-
ing new and viable ways to acorn-
modate themselves to those de-
mands."
IN APPRECIATION
I wish to thank all of my friends
and relatives and especially my
brothers-in-law, Max and Lou
Handler, for their thoughtful-
ness and deep concern in my
recovery when I was recently
hospitalized. Rabbi Milton
Rosenbaum's cherished visits
and words of encouragement
helped me through this ordeal.
So to all of you who sent cards,
flowers and gifts, these kind
expressions of friendship will
stay with me through the rest
of my days.

NEW YORK (JTA) — Central
Jewish fund-raising organizations
in the United States and some
major agencies that raise funds
independently obtained a total of
$125 million in their 1963 cam-
paigns to meet the needs of na-
tional, local and overseas com-
munal services, according to a
report issued by the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds.
These funds were raised prim-
arily for operating purposes, apart
from capital and endowment in-
come, the report stated. The an-
nual operating costs of the serv-
ices provided by the agencies
were listed in the report as "ap-
proaching" $560 million.

The course that was followed in
the study offers a great lesson in
the study of psychoses.
In his analyses of religious con-
flicts and attitudes, Dr. Rokeach
makes this observation:
"Bruno Bettelheim's study of
concentration camps suggests
that Jews will develop anti-
Semitic beliefs because they
have changed their referents—
that is, to preserve their iden-
tity and to survive physically,
they will identify with the ag-
gressor's ideology. Identification
with the aggressor—that is to
say, adopting one's oppressor as
a reference person or group—
has been used to explain such
phenomena as Jewish anti-Semi-
tism and Negro Jim Crow. Simi-
lar explanations have been of-
fered for the success of so-called
brainwashing techniques and
thought reform in inducing ideo-
logical change in the prisoner-
of-war camps of North Korea, in
the prisons of China, and more
widely, in the indoctrination of
the youth of China in the ways
of the People's Democracy."
Prof. Rokeach was born in
Hrubieszow, Poland, Dec. 27, 1918.
He received his B. A. in Psychol-
ogy from Brooklyn College in Jan-
uary 1941, his M. A. in social psy-
chology from the University of
California in December of 1941
and his Ph. D. from the latter in
1947.

Each of three men in the Ypsi-1
lanti state mental hospital believes
he is the messiah, each believes he
is godly, and that he is Jesus
Christ.
A farmer, an electrician and a
clerk are involved in "The Three
Christs of Ypsilanti," the narra-
tive study of these three lost men,
by Prof. Milton Rokeach of Mich-
igan State University, published
by Knopf.
"The three Christs," according
to Dr. Rokeach, "discarded their
original identities and suffered
from paranoid delusions of gran-
deur, not as a defense against
homosexuality but as a defense
against confusion about sexual
identity. If a person is confused
about his sexual identity, he will
in certain instances m a n i f e s t
homosexuality. But, in these in-
stances, homosexuality is actually
part of a broader picture of con-
fusion about sexual identity."
These three men were gotten
together. A thorough study was
made by the MSU psychology
professor. He reports having learn-
ed from the study: "that if we
are patient long enough, the ap-
parent incoherence of psychotic
utterance and behavior becomes
increasingly more understandable,
that psychosis is a far cry from
the happy state some make it out
to be; that it may sometimes rep-
resent the best terms a person
can come to with life; that psy-
chotics, having good reason to flee
human companionship, neverthe-
less crave it . . . We have learned
that when a summit of three is
composed of paranoid men, dead-
locked over the ultimate in human
contradiction, they prefer to seek
ways to live with one another in
peace rather than destroy one
another."
