Sterling Zone and British Tourism in Israel
LONDON (ZINS)—British gov-
ernment circles are still preoccup-
ied with the problem whether East-
ern Jerusalem and the West Bank
are still situated within the sterling
zone or not since their occupation
by Israel. According to well in-
formed circles, these areas are
still considered within the sterling
zone by the Bank of England on the
ground that the British Government
has not recognized their "annexa-
tion" by Israel. Should this view of
the Bank of England prevail, great
opportunities for English tourism
to Israel will be opened. This is
due to the fact that British citizens
visiting countries outside the sterl-
ing area may not take out more
than 50 pounds sterling. On the

'House of Bondage
of Race Injustice in South Africa
A major world tragedy, the plight
of the black people in South Africa,
is brought to light anew in a great
work—"The House of Bondage"—
a massive pictorial record that
tells the gruesome story in all its
bluntness.
Told by Ernest Cole, 27-year-
old South African who has become
a brilliant photographer, the text,
prepared together with Thomas
Flaherty, reveals the basic facts,
in detail, in depicting the life that
calls for a change in human re-
lations and of governmental atti-
tudes.
This immense work, published
by Random House, is magnified in
importance by the deeply moving
introduction by Joseph Lelyveld,
New York Times correspondent,
with deals with the tragic story of
South Africa's colored folks, who
describes the repression and sup-
plements the text and photos with
his illuminating account of condi-
tions that demand change and suc-
cor.
Lelyveld had befriended Ernest
Cole when he was a correspondent
in South Africa for the NY Times
Because some of the conditions in
South Africa are applied to the
race issues in this country, it is
important to note this portion of
Lelyveld's introduction:
"South Africa may be a
doomed and tragic land but it is
a land in which a limited num-
ber of human values remains
alive and palpable by victim of
the abuse they get. When I last
saw Ernest he was in Manhattan.
The same values that are abused
in South Africa are abused in
New York, of course, but less
systematically. Our injustice lack
the precision to which Ernest
Hospital Patients Get Care
in Visits but Live at Home
NEW YORK (JTA) — Eighteen
patients at Coney Island Hospital,
an affiliate of the Maimonides
Medical Center, were screened for
a pioneering program to determine
whether certain types of patients
can be treated in visits to the
hospital while living at home with
their families.
The pilot project, first of its kind
in New York City, will operate
through a new Rehabilitation Day
Care Center program at the Coney
Island hospital. Under the pro-
gram, arthritic, rheumatic and dia-
betic patients, hospitalized at the
center and its Coney Island affili-
ate, will receive medical treatment
at the center and then return to
their homes. The one-year program
is being supported by a 5129,964
grant from the Diabetes and
Arthritis Control program of the
National Center for Chronic Dis-
eases Control of the United States
Public Health Services.
is accustomed. Perhaps that
makes the values at stake less
palpable. I'm not sure. But I
know that too much moral clarity
becomes a kind of drug and that
sooner or later all injustice be-
comes tedious, especially to those
who don't have to suffer it.
Ernest Cole's photographs are
important because they relieve
the tedium and go beyond pre-
cepts. They are the raw facts
of the matter, not just images
of the injustice. They should be
difficult to evade."
This indeed is the lesson that
is inherent in the voluminous
"House of Bondage." It exposes in-
justice and admonishes the im-
mediate need to correct the faults
of society. The book is certain to
have its impact not only on South
Africa but also on those who must
strive to solve the race issue in
this country.
Joseph E. Levine's "The Ski
Bum" is scheduled to go before
the cameras late in fall on loca-
tion in Switzerland and Ireland,
with Peter O'Toole in the starring
role. The picture is being directed
by Anatole Litvak, with Leonard
Lightstone as executive producer,
Martin Poll as producer and Em-
bassy releasing.

British Concerned
Over Israeli Plans
for Occupied Area
LONDON (JTA) — The British
government has expressed its con-
cern over reported Israeli action
in establishing settlements in for-
merly Arab occupied areas.
Goronwy 0. Robert, newly ap-
pointed minister of state for for-
eign affairs, was understood to
have expressed the British position
when he received Aharon Remez,
the Israeli ambassador at White-
hall.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Rep.
Leonard Farbstein, N.Y. Dem.,
said that criticism by Ambassador
Arthur J. Goldberg of Israeli set-
tlement of areas liberated from
Arab control was "unwise and un-
justified." In a speech on the
House floor, the New Yorker, who
is a member of the House Foreign
Relations Committee, asserted that
"all that Ambassador Goldberg
does by his recent statements is
to comfort the Arabs for not ne-
gotiating peace."
Farbstein said he was "extreme-
ly disturbed by the turn that U.S.
policy towards Israel has appeared
to take in recent days." He strong-
ly deplored the renewal of Ameri-
can financial aid to Jordan.

tries within the sterling area. Thus,
scores of thousands Englishmen
may be induced to come as towr
ists to Israel.
No doubt legions of inspiring words could be
written concerning the religious celebrations
now of hand — Rosh Hashona, the New Year,
and (in few more days) Yom Kippur. These
ageless and continuing festivals of dedication
are of great significance to our people.
