Truman Honored With Jerusalem Peace Center
(Continued from Page 1)
Schaver was accompanied by her
brother, Morris Lazaroff of St.
Louis.
At the ceremony on Thursday
morning, David Noyes, lifelong
ifriend and aide to the former
resident, presided at Truman's
4111Prequest.
The major address in behalf of
the Hebrew University was deliv-
ered by the president of the univer-
sity, Eliahu Elath.
The keynote for the event was
struck by President Truman, who
stated: "The first order of busi-
° ness confronting mankind is to
abolish war."
Accepting the honor of having
the Harry S. Truman Center for
the Advancement of Peace carry
his name, Truman said:
"The lessons of history and
the folly of war as an instrument
of government are still being
ignored in many places on this
earth. War and violence are
being waged in disregard of the
peoples involved, in defiance of
common decency and good
sense. The first order of busi-
ness confronting mankind is to
abolish war as a way of continu-
ing relations between govern-
ments. Equally important is the
prevention of violence as a
means of reducing just griev-
ances within the evolving na-
tions and communities. For it is
all too obvious that if we do
not abolish war on this earth,
then surely one day war will
d
abolish us from the earth."
The proposed center's prospect.
us sets for the following princi-
ples:
"It is both significant and fit-
ting that the Truman Center be
established in the Eternal City
of Jerusalem, a place holy to three
of the world's major faiths. "This
was the cradle of Jewish and
Christian civilizations, the city
from which the voice of peace and
brotherhood was proclaimed by
the prophet Isaiah and from which
Christ sent forth the message of
peace to His followers.
"Peace is an imperative. For
this is an era in which scien-
tists dared to unlock the secrets
of creation, thereby risking anni-
hilation. This is a world in which
the threat of extinction casts a
dark shadow over new abilities to
extend life. A world holocaust is
inherent in every small conflagra-
tion between peoples. "The Trum-
an Center is a response in hope to
the disquieting challenge of our
times."
Thursday's ceremonies, which
were marked by telephonic
greetings by President Johnson,
included addresses by Eliahu
Elath, president of the Hebrew
University; Samuel Rothberg,
chairman of American Friends
of the Hebrew University, who
instituted the entire program;
and Nathaniel Goldstein, presi-
dent of American Friends. The
invocation, a prayer for peace
and benediction were given re-
spectively by Rabbi William B.
Silverman of the Temple Con-
gregation Bnai Jehudah, Monsig-
nor King of the Cathedral of the
Immaculate Conception and the
Rev. Shrun Burton of president
of the Ministers Alliance, all of
Kansas City.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol
Wednesday assigned Arthur Lou-
rie, former Ambassador to London
and now deputy
director general
of the Israel For-
eign Ministry, as
his personal re-
presenta tive to
the ceremonies
at Independence.

ment announced

Housed in a $10,000,000 structure
on the Hebrew University campus
in Jerusalem, to be designed in a

architecture competition, the Tru-
man Center will be governed by
a world committee of trustees to
be selected from statesmen,
clergy, UN officials, scholars. The
program of the Center will be to
apply scientific methods for the
achievement of peace. It will be

Senator Javits recalled having
addressed one of the "Sucher
meetings" similar to the one he
was addressing and he reminded
his audience that at that time
there were 100 present and they
had donated $1,000,000.
Reviewing the existing world
situation, he likened the condition
in the Middle East to that of the
India-Pakistan crisis and declared
that what was achieved in the latter
could be attained in the Israel-
Arab dispute—by a concerted drive
for peace in the Middle East.
Senator Javits was critical of the
stand taken by the United States
delegation at the United Nations,
when our government failed to sup-
port the proposal for direct Israel-
Arab peace negotiations that was
made in . 1963 by 16 Afro-Asian
nations.
"There is a lull now in the
Middle East, and now is the time
to talk peace there," Javits said.
He was critical of the manner in
which the State Department advo-
cates increased aid to Nasser and
warned against it.
Senator Javits admonished that
Citrus Stevedores Strike at Haifa;
Orange Picking Cut to Halt Spoiling
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
TEL AVIV — More than 500
citrus fruit stevedores started a
slow-down action in the harbor at
Haifa Tuesday to back demands
for a wage increase of about 25
per cent. The stevedores claim
that the rate of loading requested
of them is far beyond the normal
rate.
The slowdown caused a pileup
of about 250,000 crates of oranges
Wednesday. The action has reduced
loading aboard ships by at least
half of the normal leading capa-
city of 100,00 crates.
To keep oranges from spoiling,
the Israel Citrus Marketing
Board ordered Wednesday for
the second successive day that
picking of oranges in the groves
be reduced by 50 per cent until
the loading backlog in the har-
bor could be cleared up.
The slowdown came at the
height of the loading season when
the weather is perfect for such
work. The United Port Services
Co. has rejected the claims of the
stevedores, saying the demands
have not been made through the
usual channels and stating that
the demands have not been ap-
proved either by the workers com-
mittee or by the local labor coun-
cil.
Meanwhile, the 24-hour strike
of 1,000 workers employed by two
of Israel's largest oil distributing
firms, Paz and Delek, has ended,
and tankers delivered oil again to
all filling stations by Tuesday
morning.
That strike was called off late
Monday after Minister of Labor
Yigal Allon had threatened to draft
the workers under emergency mea-
sures authorized Sunday by the
cabinet.
Under the settlement, Allon had
undertaken to see to it that the
higher wage demands of the Paz
and Delek workers will be settled
within two months after a new
wage policy is fixed by Histadrut,
the Israel federation of labor.
When the strike became effec
tive Sunday night, there were wide
fears that fuel shortages would
affect industry and transportation
seriously by Tuesday except at
Lydda Airport, where the strikers
were willing to supply fuel to air-
planes. Lines of Israelis formed
Monday before all oil distributing
centers, trying to stock oil before
the supply ran out.
A slow-down strike by work-
ers at a large military workshop
in Israel was smashed last week-
end after the authorities in
charge of the plant locked out
all who participated in the ac-
the task of aiding Israel will not
end quickly, that US Jewry must
be prepared to carry on the task
for many years to come, that "we
must have the fortitude to see the
thing through no matter how long
it takes," and he urged "a depth
of understanding" to carry on the
great effort of unending support
for UPA.
Fisher told the campaigners that
wherever he goes to assist in UJA
drives he hears admiration for De-
troit's role as a communal leader
in humanitarian activities. He
pointed to the current needs, to
the fact that 800,000 are being
helped with UJA funds throughout
the world and that 52,000 will be
assisted in settling in Israel this
year, thus escaping persecutions.
He warned that the end of German
reparations payments increases the
responsibilities of the UJA.
Campaign leaders pointed out
that the $2,450,000 announced in
advance subscriptions Monday
night represents a much higher
total than last year's because the
1965 initial meeting was held two
weeks later than this year's and
many more gifts therefore are to
be accounted for.

Rockwell to Move HQ

NEW YORK (JTA) — George
Rockwell's notorious American
Nazi Party, whose Virginia head-
quarters were recently padlocked
by the U.S. government for failure
to pay taxes, boasts it was "not
wiped out," and expects to move
its offices to a large city in either
Texas or Louisiana, according to
information made public Tuesday
by the American Jewish Commit-
tee.
The committee revealed that
Rockwell, referring to "the Jews"
in a recent "confidential" letter
to his group's "inner circle of mem-
bers and supporters," said that his
party "will soon hit them again
with full force. The blow will be
far more telling when they believe
we are out of action."

The action had been called un-
