of 44 Nobel Prizes. Considering
that, in all, about 300 have been

CHICAGO (JTA)—A systematic
effort is under way in Catholic
school textbook publishing to re-
vise such books to eliminate dis-
tortions about Jews and Protes-
tants, a nun reported here in an
evalution of a study of bias in
such texts.
Sister Rose Albert, chairman of
the education department of the
Dominican College in Racine, Wis.,
said that "at least six publishing
companies are changing their re-
author of the winning novel as an
advance against royalties. In ad-
dition, the publisher will finance
the translation of the novel into
Shalom, which was involved in the
disaster. Consul General Katz ex-
pressed his condolences to Norwe-
gian Consul General Fleischer.
The first law suit resulting from
the accident was filed in U. S. Dis-
trict Court here on behalf of
Elaine Bregman, w h o claimed
"severe, painful and permanent in-
juries" as a passenger on the
Shalom.
Filing of the $75,000 personal
injury suit could lead to an in-
quiry in this country into the
causes of the collision.
Repairs were begun at Newport
News, Va., on the bow of the
Shalom, which was severely dam-
aged in the collision. It will take
close to a month to make the re-
pairs, costing about $575,000.
