`Milkman Tevye'
on Soviet Stage,
Novosti Reports
Jews and. Civil
Rights Issue
MOSCOW—The Russian Novosti
Press Agency (APN) last week re-
ported: "One of the Soviet Union's
biggest film studios, Lenfilm, is
starting to film a screen version
of Sholom Aleichem's `Tevye, the
milkman'.
The prominent Russian actor,
`People's Artist' of the USSR, Yuri
Tolubeyev, will play the part of
Tevye. In contrast to theatrical
productions the film will include
such a colorful character of
Sholom Aleichem as Menahem
Mendel."

WASHINGTON — Jewish organ-
izations are observing election
trends to determine the extent of
prejudice, fear, and political reac-
tion generated by the "black pow-
er" riots.
The race issue was exploited by
George P. Mahoney to win the
Democratic nomination for Gov-
ernor of Maryland in a primary
that saw liberalism repudiated.
Last week, an outright racist, Les-
ter Maddox, won the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Geor-
gia. He defeated the respected
moderate, Gov. Ellis Arnall.
The American Nazi party was
all but dead a year a g o, but
grabbed headlines during the re-
cent Chicago riots. The Ku Klux
Klan has seen a recent upsurge in
membership.
Eruptions in cities like San Fran-
cisco are worrying Jewish agencies.
Jews find no comfort in the rise
of men like Georgia's Maddox,
whose symbols are the axe handle
and the pistol.
As the November election ap-
proaches, attention is being given
to the apparently widening resent-
ment of human rights aspects of
the Great Society. Such goals are
strongly supported by Jewish
groups. The Jewish community is
identified, through communal re-
lations agencies and otherwise,
with the momentous drive for full
equality for all citizens. But Jewish
organizations are convinced that
the aims should be sought through
legislation, court action, and law-
ful demonstrations, rather than
through violence.
Jewish groups are generally in
accord with the philosophy of the
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the
Nobel Prize winner, whose non-
violent revolution won worldwide
admiration. Rev. King has cautioned
against the racism-in-reverse, neo-
segregationism, and Negro chauvin
ism unleashed by the "black pow-
er" extremists.
Jews in- many cities are fearful
lest they be caught between two
forces—the white bigots and the
riotous Negro extremists. Groups
are seeking to chart a careful
course and remain mindful of com-
mitments to civil rights objectives.
The emerging situation will be
pointed up in sharper focus by the
November election results.
Belgian Catholic Prelate
Urges Jews 'Censor' Texts
BRUSSELS (JTA)—Leo Joseph
Cardinal Suenens, archbishop of
Mechelin-Brussels, urged Jews to
make clearly known what they
feel is inappropriate or harmful
in the Christian presentation of
Judaism.
The prelate made the statement
in a meeting with Philip E. Hoff-
man, chairman of the board of
governors of the American Jew-
ish Committee, who is currently
visiting Europe to study develop-
ments in Jewish-Christian rela-
tions. Cardinal Suenens said that
dialogue was essential to over-
come misunderstandings between
Catholics and Jews.
Earlier, Hoffman visited the
Catholic University of Louvaine,
where a major research program
is under way to determine those
Roman Catholic texts and religi-
ous materials which may promote
anti-Jewish prejudices. Cardinal
Suenens expressed the hope that
similar investigations could be
undertaken in other lands.
Special Fund to Help
Immigrants Proposed
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Aryeh L.
Pincus, chairman of the Jewish
Agency, proposed creation of a
special $12,000,000 fund to speed
absorption of 250,000 new immi-
grants who have been especially
hard hit by Israel's current eco-
nomic crisis.
In an address to 200 American
and Canadian Jewish leaders, com-
prising the 12th annual United
Jewish Appeal mission, Pincus said
that the proposed fund would aim
mainly at helping the children of
unabsorbed newcomers, as well as
in solving the severe problems pre-
sented by social welfare cases, such
as the aged, blind and handicapped
Jews among the new immigrants.
He stressed that 30 per cent of
adult immigrants from Afro-Asian
countries were completely illiter-
ate, and said they urgently needed
assistance.
Shukairy and PLO Called
"Menacing" to Israel
Ahmed Shukairy, head of the
Palestine Liberation Organization
(PLO), who is the self-appointed
successor to the former Mufti of
Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini,
as head of the Arab crusade
against Israel, was described as "a
much more menacing and explosive
personage on the Middle East
scene" in a 14-page memorandum
issued by the information depart-
ment of the Jewish Agency-Ameri-
can Section. It was prepared by
Dr. Joseph Schechtman.
OM Herzl Letter Given
to Israel by Austria
Consul General of Austria in
Detroit Norman H. Birnkrant
stated last week that Austria is
making the best effort to establish
good relations with Israel.
Birnkrant pointed out that Al-
fred Maleta, president of the Aus-
trian national assembly, attended
the opening of the new Knesset
building in Jerusalem as an of-
ficial guest and presented to
Speaker Luz of the Knesset a his-
torical letter written in 1898 by
Theodor Herzl to Paul Schlenth-
er, then director of the Burgthe-
ater in Vienna, concerning a stage
play by Herzl.
Interfaith Dialogue Found THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
on High Level in Europe
ROME (JTA)—Phillip E. Hoff-
man, chairman of the board of
governors of the American Jewish
Committee, said he had found ac-
tive studies and high-level dialogue
on interfaith problems in various
countries of Western Europe.
He cited the Netherlands, Aus-
tria, Switzerland and Italy, saying
there were European efforts to im-
prove Christian-Jewish relations in
the spirit of the Roman Catholic
Ecumenical Council declaration on
non-Christians.
"Heightened dialogue," he said,
"the launching of key projects,
whose goal is improved Catholic
teaching about Judaism, and a
searching for new channels of
Christian-Jewish liaison demon-
strate the very real—if still too
scattered and little known—prog-
ress accomplished in interfaith ac-
tion during the past year."
The West German hierarchy has
been slow to initiate studies, Hoff-
man said, but the National Council
of Bishops there is considering
procedures for study and modifi-
cation of anti-Jewish texts.
