A Postscript-20 Years After Hiroshima

Twenty years after Hiroshima,
"the Japanese, who know what
nuclear doomsday would look like,
will believe for a long time that
war is the worst possible evil, that
no price is too high to pay for the
pika never to flash again."
In this fashion Rafael Steinberg
sums up his account of the people
of Hiroshima and their city, in
"Postscript From Hiroshima" pub-
lished by Random House.
As a correspondent for many
years in the Orient, Steinberg
writes authoritatively about Japan.
He still lives with his wife and two
daughters in Tokyo. His story is
deeply moving. When the flash
came on that July day 20 years ago
—the pika as the flash is known to
the Japanese—there was spontane-
ous death for 100,000. Then came
the blast and the city was de-
stroyed. "Then came the mush-
room cloud, and the living dead
crying for water, and the rubbery
faces sloughing off like masks, and
the corpses awash in the seven-
fingered delta of the Ota River.
Afterward, came peace."
Such was the beginning of the
tragedy, Steinberg's story is
about the 90,000 who survived
the bomb who are part of pres-

More Public Relations Men
Noted in Jewish Groups

NEW YORK—A sharp increase
in professional public relations
workers in Jewish welfare and
communal services throughout the
United States and Canada was
noted by Henry W. Levy, president
of the American Jewish Public Re-
lations Society.

The growth of professional pub-
lic relations service, especially in
Jewish communities outside New
York, was noted by Levy in con-
nection with publication of a. new
1966 edition of the society's direc-
tory.
He pointed out that the new
issue shows 115 public relations
workers in 83 organizations in the
Jewish communal field, an increase
of more than 80 over the number
in the last edition, published in
1964.
Membership outside New York
City showed the most dramatic
increase, rising more than four-
fold from eight people in six com-
munities in 1964 to 35 in 16 com-
munities this year.

it is a busy community. But the
memory is there.
Steinberg's account is about
Japan and its people, about the
"A-Bomb disease," about war and
peace and the people's reactions
and memories.
"Japan's defeat, the first in her
history, laid bare the guts of the
nation," Steinberg writes. "Cower-
ing in shock, the Japanese avidly
tried to soak up everything the vic-
tor murmured. Not all the reforms
of the Occupation could penetrate,
but the idealism of the immediate
postwar period did. Peace, democ-
racy, freedom, neutrality — these

Banning of Funds to Nasser Is Hailed

WASHINGTON (JTA)—The ac-
tion of the House of Representa-
tives in adopting the Farbstein-
Halpern amendment banning aid
to the United Arab Republic was
hailed by Rep. Seymour Halpern,
New York Republican, a co-spon-

sor.

Calling the unanimous vote on
the amendment "the culmination
of years of effort" in Congress to
eliminate United States fofeign aid
to President Nasser of the UAR,
he said "this is the strongest re-
buff to the UAR ever made by the
House."
Referring to Nasser as "The Cas-
tro of the Nile," Rep. Halpern said
that "no one is less entitled to
our assistance" and that no one
"has made more of a mockery of
our program than this tyrant." He
stated that it was "about time"
that Congress took the initiative
by adopting unequivocal language
to stop authorizing aid to the UAR.
He asserted that "in view of
Nasser's continuing transgressions,
I can see no possible justification
for the United States furnishing a
single dime to the UAR. With the
adoption of this amendment, we
serve notice on both Nasser and
the State Department that we no
longer tolerate flagrant abuse of
our funds, nor do we plan to un-
derwrite aggression in the Middle
East."
The amendment to the Foreign
Aid Bill reads: "No assistance
shall be furnished under this act
to the United Arab Republic un-
less the President finds and reports
within 30 days to the Foreign Re-
lations Committee and the appro-
priations committee of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House that
such assistance is essential to the

Gen. Dayan met with General

WASHINGTON — Sen. Wayne
Morse, Oregon Democrat, warned
on the Senate floor that United
States military and economic aid
to the Middle East could lead to
United States military interven-
tion there.
Speaking on United States for-
eign aid policy, the senator said
it was necessary "to exercise more
checks against the President, the
secretary of state and the secretary
of defense if they are going to
protect the American people from
that danger."
Sen. Morse cited United States
supplies of arms to Jordan, Saudi
Arabia and Israel. He said that
"Egypt's economic base for a
Soviet-supplied military establish-
ment is strengthened by our mu-
nificent extension of food."
He defined this supply as build-
ing a house of matchsticks which,
"when it collapses," would encour-
age the United States to believe
that military intervention would
be "the only thing that can save
the situation."
