UN Delays Unt 1 '66 Action on Draft Declaration Against Religious Bias

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) I
—The General Assembly Monday
adopted unanimously a resolution
postponing until next year action
on a long-pending effort to pass a
UN draft declaration and conven-
tion for "the elimination of all
forms of religious intolerance."
The resolution as adopted called
for the sending of the issue to the
Commission on Human Rights with
a request that the commission com-
plete the drafts and with the fur-
ther proviso that the drafts be
given "priority" at the 1966 session
of the Assembly.
Through various parliamentary
procedures and other stalling tac-
tics, the. Soviet bloc, backed by the
Arab members here, has been de-
laying adoption of the religious
freedoms proposals since they were
first drawn up by a subcommission
in January, 1960.

The same plenary meeting of the
Assembly Monday adopted unani-
mously a companion measure,
calling for the elimination of all
forms of racial discrimination.
Originally, the racial and reli-
gious items had been bracketed
in one draft by the subcommis-
sion's action in 1960. However, the
USSR had succeeded in separating
the two complementary aims, con-
centrating on anti-racism but sty-
mying the religious freedom pro-
posals.
It was the draft convention on
elimination of racism which the
United States and Brazil tried to
amend so as to condemn anti-Semi-
tism, while the USSR presented a
sub-amendment bracketing in the
condemnation not only anti-Semi-
tism but also Zionism and Nazism.
Both the U.S.-Brazil and USSR
moves fell by the wayside when
the Assembly's committee con-
sidering anti-racism voted to omit
mention of all "isms" except
apartheid. The Soviet Union was
behind that move.
Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg, head of the U.S. delegation
to the United Nations, said Sun-
day night that the U.S. Govern-
ment will continue its efforts to
secure UN condemnation of anti-
Semitism in spite of setbacks.
In an address at a dinner of the
American Jewish Congress, at
which Ambassador Goldberg was
presented with the AJC Stephen
Wise Award, he said that "there
will be other opportunities for us
to raise the question of anti-Semi-
tism by name in connection with
future human rights proposals.
This we shall do," he declared,
"whenever, wherever it is approp-
riate, even as we will also de-
nounce every other form of dis-
crimination."
Awards also were presented to
Samuel Bronfman of Montreal,
chairman of the North American
Section of the World Jewish Con-
gress, and to Monroe Goldwater,

In Brasilia, the Confederation
of Jewish Communities Monday
lauded the role of the Brazilian
government in cosponsoring the
measure specifically condemning
anti-Semitism.
The Jewish Confederation praise
of the Brazilian move was present-
ed to the foreign ministry by a
delegation representing the or-
ganization.
The Confederation also protested
to the Soviet Embassy against the
attempted bracketing of anti- Semi-
tism with Nazism.
The Soviet press did not pub-
lish a word about the effort by
the USSR delegation in the United
Nations according to a Moscow
dispatch printed by Kol Haam,
the Israeli Communist Party's
daily newspaper in Tel Aviv.
In Brussels, the Standing Com-
mittee of the Conference of Euro-
pean Rabbis condemned the Soviet
attempt in a statement adopted
at the Committee's semiannual
Meeting. The rabbinical organiza-
tion said it was "dismayed" by
the Soviet proposal which, it said,
"conflicts with moral and ethical
values." "To list Zionism with
anti-Semitism and Nazism whose
diabolical philosophy resulted in
the destruction of millions of hu-
man beings is a misrepresenta-
tion of the essence of Zionism
and an offense to any liberal-
minded person."

Brandeis Parley Eyes
Soviet Discrimination

WALTHAM, Mass. (JTA)—Des-
pite the legal recognition extended
to the Jewish community in the
Soviet Union, Jews are denied the
rights granted to other nationities
in the USSR, Soviet affairs spec-
ialist William Korey reported Sun-
day at Brandeis University.
During the concluding session
at Brandeis' three-day Conference
on the Status of Ethnic Minorities
in the Soviet Union, Korey, director
.of. the New York Bureau of the
Bnai Brith International Council,
said Jews in the USSR suffer dis-
crimination in many spheres
education, the use of their lan-
guage and the observance of their
religion.
The three-day conference,
which began Friday, was or-
ganized by Brandeis' new Insti-
tute of East European Jewish
Affairs, a branch of the Philip
W. Lown Graduate Center for
Contemporary Jewish Studies- at
Brandeis. During the three days,
the 20 scholars and authorities
participating in the conference
examined ethnic, economic and
language questions that confront
national groups within the 15 re•
publics in the USSR.
Another speaker at Sunday's
session, Elias Schulman, director
of the Library of the Jewish Edu-
cation Committee of New York,
described the decline of Jewish
education in the Soviet Union.
After the liquidation of the Jew-
ish section of the Communist Party
in 1930, he said, there was a rapid
decline of the Yiddish schools es-
tablished by the government in
the previous decade. Finally, said
Schulman, all Jewish primary and
secondary education in the Soviet
Union became extinct.
The third speaker, Abraham
Brumberg, editor of "Problems of
Communism" for the U.S. Informa-
tion Agency, said the Yiddish
journal "Sovetisch Heimland," was
sanctioned by the Soviet govern-
ment to placate foreign critics of
the treatment of the Jews in the
Soviet Union and because of pres-
sure by "liberal" Russian intel-
lectuals who regard the treatment
of the Jews in the USSR as a
symptom of Stanlinism.
Its literary quality is poor, he
said, the result of Stalin's elimi-
nation of the best Yiddish writers
and fear still strong in the Yiddish
literary community. "It is doubt-
ful. whether Yiddish letters in the

HISTORY OF "THE JEWS
by Paul Borchsenius

The story of the Jewish people from the destruction of Jerusalem
to the founding of Israel is told with warmth and love by an
extraordinary man who is a minister, a scholar, and a writer with
a rare gift for making the past come alive.
Paul Borchsenius is a Danish Lutheran pastor whose interest
in Jewish history is more than just a by-product of his theological
studies. He was an active participant in the magnificent resistance
movement which miraculously saved the entire Jewish population
of Denmark from the 'Nazis. His humanity illumines his scholar-
ship—and the vast panorama that emerges is alive with incident,
personality, anecdote and the historic vitality of the Jewish
people. This handsome set is a perfect gift for young people; it
will enthrall readers of any age.
