LONDON (JTA) — The World
Jewish Congress called on Great
Britain and other countries not to
participate in arrangements being
made by the Polish government to
commemorate the 25th anniversary
of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising
there next spring.

The appeal to boycott the event
was contained in one of a series
of resolutions adopted at the
closing session of the 15th biennial
conference of the WJC's British
section. The resolution voiced
"profound disquiet and regret" that
Poland has abondoned its friendly
relations with Israel and has
"given utterance to violent and un-
justified expressions about the
Jewish people." It also implied
that the observance would ignore
the principal roles of the Jews in
the uprising.

In another resolution, the WJC
appealed to the Soviet government
"to ensure for Soviet Jewry the
same rights and facilities that are
enoyed by other religious and eth-
nic minorities in the USSR." It
called on Soviet Premier Alexei
Kosygin, "on the occasion of Inter-
national Human Rights Year" to
implement his promise to allow
Soviet Jews to emigrate so that
they can be reunited with their
families abroad.

The WJC also declared its
solidarity with Israel, called at-
tention to the plight of Jews in
Arab countries since last June's
war and called on Jews the world
over to assure that united Jeru-
salem remains a Jewish city.
The congress urged the British
government to ratify various in-
ternational conventions calling
for the elimination of racial dis-
crimination, equality in employ-
ment and support of the United

The closing session of the confer-
ence was addressed by Ivor S.
Richards, Labor MP from London
and a member of the international
Human Rights Court at Strass-
bourg, and David Ennals, joint
parliamentary undersecretary at
the Home Office. Both hailed the
WJC for its work in the field of
human rights. Ennals said that
as a minister, he has had invalu-
able help and guidance from the
WJC in the field of human rights
and race "relations.

Richards said that national laws
can and should be judged against
the code of universally accepted
principles and that an individual
citizen should have the right to
challenge his own nation's laws
against that code. Lately, he said,
the Council of Europe has been
looking into the possibility of a
general code against incitement to
racial, national and religious
hatred.

WJCongress Wants Boycott of Observance
by Poland of

EDISON

WASHINGTON BOULEVARD

Free Parking Charge Accounts Open Monday Eves.

Last March, the Congress
charged that the "crude and bla-
tant anti-Semitic atmosphere" of
the Union City production violated
recently announced guidlines for
Catholic-Jewish relations.
Dr. Prinz spoke at a news
conference here. He noted that
the American Jewish Congress
had first protested the Oberam-
mergau, Germany, Passion Play,
in November 1966. Eleven lead-
ing American writers and crit-
ics joined the Congress in urging
that a new and equally authen-
tic but not anti-Semitic script be
used.
Last month, the villagers an-
nounced they would make no
changes in their script or pro-
duction.
Noting that the news conference
was being held 35 years to the day
of Hitler's accession to power in
Germany, Dr. Prinz linked the re-
fusal of the Oberammergau villag-
ers to change their Passion Play
script to what he termed "the
alarming growth of the neo-Nazi
NPD and the festering of Hitlerite
ideology in Bavaria."
He said, however, that he was
"deeply gratified" to report that
six of West Germany's leading lit-
erary figures, headed by novelist
Gunter Grass, had endorsed the
American Jewish Congress protest
against the Oberammergau pro-
duction. In addition to Grass, they
are — Heinrich Boll, Paul Celan,
Gunter Eigh, Walter Jens and Uwe
Johnson.
Leonard Bernstein, musical di-
rector of the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra, and George
S t e i n e r, Cambridge University
critic, have joined the list of writ-
ers and artists endorsing the
American Jewish Congress call for
a world boycott of the German
Passion Play, Dr. Prinz disclosed.

Dutch Town Presented
With Copy of Old Tora

AMSTERDAM, (JTA)—A copy
of the Tora scrolls that once be-
longed to the synagogue of Leeu-
warden, capital of the Netherlands
province of Friesland, was pre-
sented to the mayor of that town
in ceremonies which recalled how
the original scrolls were protected
from the Nazis by the Dutch re-
sistance movement during World
War II.
The original scrolls and the en-
tire inventory of the old Leeuwar-
den synagogue are now at Kfar
Batya in Israel, a settlement
sponsored by the Mizrachi Wo-
men's Organization of America.
The copy, donated by the Miz-
rachi Women, was sent to the site
of what was once a flourishing
Jewish community to serve as a
reminder of the Dutch Jews who
were deported during the Nazi
occupation of Holland.
