India Admits Denying Israel's Aidfor`PoliticalConsiderations' (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) NEW DELHI — An Indian cabi- net minister admitted in parlia- ment Wednesday that India could not accept an Israeli offer of fer- tilizers because of "political con- siderations." Food and agriculture minister Subramanian made the admission in reply to a question from H.V. Kamath, a deputy, who asked if the Israel government had offer- ed good grains in response to global appeals by United Nations Secretary General U. Thant, and of the food and agricultural or- ganization on India's behalf. The MP also asked what had prevent- ed India from accepting such an offer if it was made. The minister said that Israel did not offer grain but did offer fer- tilizer, but India could not accept the offer for political reasons. The MP then asked whether people in India, should be allowed to starve because of the govern- ment's politics. The minister re- plied that the Israeli offer was a "paltry" one and that "we had to take into account other reac- tions.

Plans for the meeting were protested Sunday by the Organiza- tion of Form& Inmates of the Dachau concentration camp. Fears were expressed in Parlia- ment that some soldiers of West Germany's army were being at tracted to meetings of rightwing extremist groups. Some members noted that the Stahlhelm, a veter- ans group, was making increasing attempts to recruit members among the soldiers. The deputies were assured that rightwing radicalism would not be tolerated in West German forces but the Defense Ministry had no legal right to pre- vent soldiers from attending Sta- hlhelm meetings. Moroccan Leader Insists Bourguiba Backing Arabs BEIRUT (ZINS) — "Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba changed his position on Israel- Arab relations and now supports all decisions by the Arab countries Involving their relationship with Israel." This assertion was made by Alla-el-Pasi, leader of the Mor- occan party "El Istanbul." In his statement, which was published in the Lebanese paper "El Anwar," the Moroccan leader declared that Bourguiba had be- come convinced that the only sol- ution to the "Israel problem" is war. "On this score there is no long- er any difference of opinion be- tween Morocco and other Arab Countries," he said. Tourism Means Bread to 18,000 Israeli Families JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Moshe Kol, Israel minister of tourism, asserted here that 18,000 families derive their livelihood from the tourist trade, and their number is continually growing. Kol further Said that in the next four years Israel must invest 70 million pounds to increase tourist facil- ities. Israel must also raise the stan- dard of various tourist services, as 15 per cent of the visitors leave the country dissatisfied by their experiences. He also revealed that only 45 per cent of the tourists arriving in Israel are Jews. The first American president to speak on radio was Woodrow Wil- son, who broadcast to American soldiers aboard troopships in 1919. ernment, we thought we need not accept it." Another MP, Dr. Sighvi, asked whether India had received any offer of large-scale help from Is- rael for its farm programs as well as for emergency food needs. The minister replied that, as far as he could remember, Israel had not offered large scale agricultural aid. Globke States He Belonged to Resistance HAGEN, West Germany (JTA) —Dr. Hans Globke, who was eased out of his post as State Secretary to then Chancellor Konrad Ade- naure for his Nazi past, asserted he had belonged to the resistance group which tried in July 1944 to assassinate Hitler. Appearing as a witness here at the trial of 12 former guards at the Sobibor death camp, he also assert- ed that he had not heard about the Nazi "final solution" of mass mur- der of all Jews until after the war. He had provided a commentary on the Nazi Nuremberg race laws as a high official in the Nazi Justice Ministry. He testified that the 1935 Nur- emberg Laws were unjust but he insisted that they had tended to limit the evil intentions of the Nazis. He added that at first the Nazis had adhered to those laws but that later they had "committed excesses." He also asserted that as an official who did not belong to the Nazi Party, he was unable to prevent those excesses and that, in any case, he had not realized the "unjustness" of the Nuremberg Laws at the time.

IRV KATZ 20735 GRAND RIVER Minutes From Oak Park & Southfield Commentary Reader: Guide to World Affairs and Rich Fictional Treasury How do we define a Jewish wri- ter? Is it enough to be a Jew and a writer? The manner in which the popular Jewish writers have be- come representative of America, their roles as art critics, essayists, novelists, psychoanalysts, sociolo- gists, is outlined in an interesting essay, "The Jew as Modern Amer- ican Writer," by Alfred Kazin, which appears as an introduction to "The Commentary Reader: Two Decades of Articles and Stories," published by Atheneum (162 E. 38th, NY 16). It is a large book of nearly 800 pages and was edited by the editor of Commentary, Norman Podhoretz. The list of authors included in this work is in itself most im- pressive. Edmund Wilson, R. H. S. Crossman, Saul Bellow, Theodore Rankel, Issac Rosenfeld, Hans Morgenthau, Paul Goodman and a score of others, including many additional best known Jewish wri- ters' names, comprise the authors whose essays and stories are part of this book.

The entire collection is like a critique of the events of the last 20 years. In this reader we find a collection of essays that diagnose the major occurrences in this country and in the world in the last 20 years. The additional treat is the in- clusion of some of the best short stories — by Issac Bashevis Sin- ger, Bernard Malamud, Don Ja- cobson and others. In its totality, therefore, we have an outstanding work that serves as a guide to world affairs and as a fictional treasury.
