Rothschilds Seek
to Halt Sales of
Book, 'The Jews '
PARIS—Barons Guy and Ed-
mond de Rothschild and Baroness
Bathsheba de Rothschild are seek-
ing to prevent the continued sale
of a best selling book, "Les Juifs"
(The Jews) by Roger Peyrefitte.
Published last month by Flam-
marion, a major publisher, the
novel advances the idea that Jews
hold important positions in all
phases of French life and that a
great number of leading world per-
sonalities are Jews without know-
ing it.
Named are President Johnson,
the late President K e n n e d y,
Charles de Gaulle of France, Queen
Elizabeth of England, former West
German Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer, Generalissimo Francisco
Franco of Spain, Premier Fidel
Castro of Cuba, the Swedish Royal
house and the Hapsburgs. Another
is the notorious Torquemada, head
of the Spanish Inquisition in the
15th Century. The book also re-
veals so-called "secrets" about the
Rothschild dynasty.

A Sitting Room in Franklin Towne
Revival of the "upstairs sitting room" is a nostalgic addition to
The Whitehall model home in Olde Franklin Towne, Middlebelt at
Northwestern Hwy. A corner fireplace with "weeping mortar" is
painted white to contrast with the red and white provincial wallpaper
and there are built-in bookshelves. The decorator, Arthur's Boutique,
has added an old-fashioned school clock, wicker chair and bench
painted black and leather-upholstered bench in the Victorian mood.
The pillared Southern colonial model home is open daily and Sunday
11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays until 6 p.m. There are six other fur-
nished models in this 183-home community, surrounded by woods
and gentle rolling hills. Recreational parks are designed throughout
the area by the developers and will be landscaped to provide a
village green for picnics and children's games.

Harber Elected by World ORT
ROME (JTA) — The Jewish
character of ORT was emphasized
and its non - political character
stressed in resolutions adopted at
the closing session of the World
ORT Union congress here. Dr. Wil-
liam Haber, of the University of
Michigan, was elected president
of the central
board of the
Union and Daniel
Mayer was named
chairman of its
executive c o m-
mit te e. Max
Braude was re-
named director
general.
A delegation of
World ORT Union Haber
leaders, headed by Daniel Mayer
of France, was received by Presi-
dent Saragat. The Italian President
extended to the 40 Jewish leaders
his best wishes for the future of
ORT and its work. He led the Jew-
ish leaders through the garden of
the Presidential Palace.
In other resolutions, the dele-
gates confirmed the ORT agree-
ment with the Israel Government
under which the agency will expand
its program in terms of increased
enrollment in ORT projects. The
delegates also approved maximum
efforts to avoid obsolescence of
ORT instruction techniques by set-
ting up new seminaries where in-
structors will be kept up to date
on rapidly developing technologi-
cal and teaching methods. Refresh-
er courses will be made available
to former pupils.
Dr. Abram Sachar, president of
Brandeis University, warned that
the many indications of improved
attitudes toward Jews in many
parts of the world "should not lull
us into abandoning the realism of
self-help." He spoke at the dinner

Dr. Sachar said the events which
followed the proclamation of the
State of Israel in 1948 were "only
one of history's warnings" to Jews
and that the realism he proposed
was safer and healthier for Jews.
He added that few international
Jewish organizations so sensibly
followed the principle of self-help
as did ORT which, from the begin-
ning, has sought to reduce the
"luftmensch" weakness of Jewish
existance by teaching perfect
craftsmanship to its students.
He warned against "the decline
of sensitivity among Jews active
in communal endeavors," declared
that "too many of us have become
quite tired, a wall of impervious.
ness is emerging, we are less re-
sponsive, our sensitivity has been
blunted."
