World's Fair Directors Back Moses
Against Action on Jordan Mural

sion by the directors until decisions
were handed down. Suits have been
filed for show cause orders for
removal of the mural before two
Supreme Court justices.
Alex Rose, a director, objected,
asserting that the mural contained
"a war slogan" and that for the
board to refrain from action on it
was "a basic mistake." He proposed
a committee to re-examine the
--- Fair's stand. Moses, who has con-
sistently refused to act against the
mural, ruled that such a resolution
could neither be brought up nor
discussed.
Sen. Jacob Javits, New York Re-
publican, asked for a vote on ap-
peal from that decision. The direc-
tors sustained Moses by a vote of
59-24.
Alex Rose, vice chairman • of
the Liberal Party of New York,
resigned Tuesday from the board
of the World's Fair as a pro-
test over the fair's policy of re-
fusing to act on the anti-Israel
mural.
Rose resigned after the hectic
meeting of the fair's board on
Monday night.
In his letter of resignation,
Rose called the mural "sheer
war propaganda — offensive to
a sovereign people and to mil-
lions of American citizens, Jews
and non-Jews alike."
Rose disclosed in his letter
Moses had told him he intended to
"stay with this policy all the way."
He said that this left him no choice
but to resign. He added that he
was convinced that "a basic mis-
take has been made by the World's
Fair leadership and should be rec-
\-,
tified."
Sen. Javits, who said he agreed
the situation should be rectified,
added that he did not intend to
resign because he felt he should
continue the fight as a director.
State Sen. Joseph Z a r e tski
grabbed a floor microphone to in-
troduce an anti-mural resolution
and was ruled out of order by
Moses.

The resolution instructed the
officers to demand of the Jordan
Pavilion officials that the mural
> "be forthwith removed and that,
upon failure to remove the same,
the sublease of the Jordan Pavilion
be canceled and the Pavilion
closed."

The New York City Council
branded the mural "a daily and
constant irritant" and "a source
of insult to millions of people in
this city, the state and the
world."
Many councilmen individually
found the mural "insulting and
derogatory" to Jews.
Dr. Mohammad Mehdi, secretary
general of the Committee on Arab-
American Relations, aroused the
,(---- council General Welfare Com-
mittee's wrath last week when he
said that any one of Jewish faith
who might object to the mural
was "offended because of a sense
of guilt."
He argued with six Jewish mem-
bers of the committee, first draw-
ing their fire when he offered a
wad of cotton for the ears of any-
one who might be offended while
he read the wording on the Jordan
mural.
Councilman Morris J. Stein,
chairman of the committee, retorted
that Dr. Mehdi was "insulting our
intelligence."
Asked to explain what was meant
in the mural by "strangers from
abroad" who began "buying up the
land and stirring up the people,"
Dr. Mehdi said he felt that Israel
was governed by non-Israelis, for
example, former Premier David
Ben Gurion "from Poland."
Stein countered that "We con-
sider that Ben Gurion is as true an
Israeli as anyone else."

charged with picketing the Jor-
danian Pavilion May 25.
Judge Dubin said he considered
the pickets to be not guilty of dis-
orderly picketing and was con-
vinced that their demonstration in
front of the Jordanian pavilion had
been entirely peaceful.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that the American Jewish Con-
gress leaders picketed peacefully.
The only question before me is
whether their a c t i v e peaceful
picketing in viola t i o n of the
World's Fair regulation was, in
fact, a violation of the law," he
declared.
C. Irving Dwork, national secre-
tary of the AJC, who had been
charged also with resisting arrest,
was found not guilty by Judge
Dubin. Both sides were given un-
til July 8 to present briefs on the
question.
Habimah, Back in Israel,
Presents 'The Deputy'
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Rolf Hoch-
Ihuth's controversial play about
Pope Pius XII and the Nazi slaugh-

Deputy," opened here by the Ha-

Since its return from a United
States tour, Habimah has made
special efforts to present the play,

play contends that the late pontiff

Jews.

When the paycheck comes home, make it a habit to first set
aside a definite amount. Then place those dollars in a high-
earning account at American Savings and Loan Association.
That's where they'll earn 4% per year with insured safety.
