Community-Wide Memorial Service for Rabbi Adler Tuesday 'May the Memory of the Righteous Serve as a Blessing' From the Tribute to Rabbi Adler in Our Issue of March 18, 1966. The entire community is invited to participate in the tribute to the memory of Rabbi Morris Adler, at the special service to be held at C o n g. Shaarey Zedek, 8 p.m. Tuesday. Dr. Abraham H e s c h e 1, distinguished scholar and philosopher, will be the guest speaker, and the service will be conducted by Rabbi Irwin Groner, with Cantors Jacob H. Sonenklar and Reuven Frankel parti- cipating. In Jewish tradition, rabbi means teacher. He is more than a functioning preacher: he learns and he teaches. In our traditions, when one learns from another person, he is to address the man he learns from as rabbi. This is the type of man Morris Adler was: he was a rabbi in the sense that he was his community's teacher, and he was a teacher of teachers, the rabbis' rabbi. It was because he himself constantly learned that he was so outstanding also as the teacteir Rabbis as well as laymen sat at his feet and were guided by his erudition, by his understanding, as well as by his knowledge. He was an ardent Zionist because he believed that all men must be free, and if there was to be genuine libertarianism in behalf of which world Jewry has battled consistently, Jews who have been oppressed and maligned must also be liberated — and he had made a lifetime of gifts toward the libertarian Jewish cause which led to the rebirth of the State of Israel. He was our community's ablest orator. But his genius was not limited to oratory: he wrote as lucidly as he spoke fluently. He was at work on several important historical treatises. and he alone could have been called upon to do the editing of the literary works of the greatest of the Jewish philosophers of the last two decades, the late Hayim Greenberg — a work in which he was engaged at the time that a deadly bullet interrupted his life's work. Wayne State University gave him that assignment, to edit this vast collection of writings because he alone was viewed in Jew- ish scholarship as capable of interpreting the philosophy of our time. We pray that that work has not died with him — just as we pray that the other works in which he was engaged will not have died With him. A portrait of Rabbi Adler by Detroit artist Ben Glicker will be presented to the congregation and displayed in the foyer of the syna- gogue that evening.

The incidents followed last week's indefinite postpone- ment of any further meetings of the Israel-Syrian Mixed Armistice Com- mission. The Syrian soldier was killed in an exchange of fire -with an Israeli pilot in the Hule _area Saturday night, after the patrol spotted the uniformed Syrian crossing into Israel from the Syrian position of Darbashiye. The armed infiltrator opened fire on the patrol when he was challenged by the Israelis some 500 yards inside Israel territory. The patrol returned the fire and killed the Syrian with a hand grenade. The Syrian was armed with a Soviet-made automatic rifle. Unlike previous instances when the Syrians suffered casualties, Syrian officials Sunday agreed to take back the body of the dead soldier. Israel lodged a complaint over the incident with the Mixed Armistice Commission. In another incident, near Arad in the Negev, Sunday, an explosive charge placed under a water pipeline leading to a Jewish National Fund experimental plantation building blew up, but without doing any damage. Footprints of two persons were found leading to the nearby Jordanian border. The terrorists identified themselves by leaving two leaflets, one in Hebrew and one in Arabic, marked with the names, "Palestine Liberation Movement" and "Al Asifa" (the military arm of Ahmed Shukairy's Palestine Liberation Organization). Lt. 6en. Odd Bull, chief of staff of the United Nations Truce Super- visory Organization, was scheduled to confer Wednesday in Damascus with Syrian ministers and senior officials in what was believed to be a last-ditch effort to induce them to resume participation in the Mixed Armistice Commission on the basis of adhering to the agreed- agenda. The MAC session was convened last month for the first time in eight years at the initiative of UN Secretary-General U Thant when Syrian- Israeli - border tensions reached a dangerous pitch. The agenda had one . (Continued on Page 32) Heyday for Brotherhood! Law-makers Hit CIA Aid to Anti-Isiael Body By Jewish News Special Correspondent . NEW YORK—Glory, Hallelujah! What nice things are being said this week! For another few days, we'll all be brothers! (and sisters, too!) We'll have visions of Round Tables at which all participants will be pardoned for having different pigmentations in their skins, or for conversing in different languages, or using different prayer books. , The guys and their spouses got to the Round Tables first. • They beat to the gong a few others who weren't fast enough. For instance- Atlantans, in Georgia, have a Presbyterian school called the Agnes Scott College. It has a close-knit Brotherhood: Only Christians can be on the faculty. That's a tight Brotherhood for you! Then there is Wayne, N.J. The people there are very Brotherly. When they vote they cast their ballots en masse. True: they permitted more than 2,500 to be Mavericks, to have their way; But nearly 7,000 of them stuck together, defeated a school budget, sent two Jewish candidates to oblivion. Boy-oh- boy, how these Wayne people stuck together! So, to celebrate Wayne (N.J.—don't confuse with Wayne County, Michigan) Mayor Edward Sisco issued a call: Let's have Brotherhood! A Protestant, his father was a Catholic, his sister a convert to Judaism, Wayne's Mayor is on top of the Brotherhood Week idealists. • Oh—wait a while—there's also a Jewish actor in the Brotherhood drama; Rabbi Julius G. Neumann of New York has resigned from the New York City Commission on Human Rights because it concerns itself only with Negro problems and ignores anti-Jewish practices! And the New York Times, commenting editorially on the Wayne, N.J., event, calling the election result "A victory for foolishness," concludes: "There is no reason to believe that what happened in Wayne could not happen in a thousand other communities." Boy, oh boy, oh boy—Isn't Brotherhood having a heyday!?! WASHINGTON (JTA)—Congressmen William Fitts Ryan and Benjamin Rosenthal, both New York Democrats, last-weekend condemned the support of an anti-Israel organization by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, The CongressMen cited authoritative reports to the effect that the CIA has financed the Amet*as. Friends of the Middle East, a pro-Arab, anti-Israel propaganda front. They called for an investigation by President Johnson. Reps. Ryan and Rosenthal said "the CIA undermines the administration policy of friendship toward Israel by secretly funding the AFME." They cited AFME's attacks on Israel and propaganda issued by Elmo Hutchison, AFME's former Middle East director. They pointed out that AFME helpg finance and guides an organization it created, the Organization or Arab Students. The group spreads anti-Israel and sometimes anti-Jewish propaganda at more than 100 American colleges and universities by Arab students. The Arab student activity is supported by the Arab League in Cairo, which sends out the propaganda lines to be followed. The CIA apparently financed the anti-Israel propaganda in an effort to woo young Arabs away trim( communism. The two Congressmen said: "The CIA's covert domestic activities are totally inconsistent with the most basic principles of democratic government. We cannot aford to allow a government agency to act against the best interests of the nation." They suggested that the administration immediately terminate CIA meddling on the domestic scene, and urged "a watchdog -committee compoSed of seven members of the Senate and seven members of the House to oversee CIA operations." AFME took credit publicly for organizing the Arab students. On a number of occasions, AFME petitioned Congress to take anti-Israel positions. AFME also opposed measures designed to relieve the plight of Soviet Jewry. Among the leaders of AFME have been such former State Department officials as Harold B. Minor, who served in the State Department's Near Eastern division. Charges were made in 1963 in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that $4,000,000 was paid by the United States government to finance AFME. The testimony was offered by Bushrod Howard Jr., a representative of the royalist Yemen government. The State Department denied the charges. It emerged later that AFME's expenditures, in excess of $1,000,000 a year for a number of years, were. subsidized through various conduits by the CIA. Most of the AFME funds were spent to bring to the United States Arab students, whose main activity turned out to be anti-Israel propaganda. Instead of waging an anti-Communist campaign, such students generally threatened that the Near East would -go Communist unless the United States repticliatal Israel..
