MUNICH (JTA) — The publisher
of the neo-Nazi weekly Deutsche
National and Soldaten Zeitung has
been formally charged with dis-
seminating a Nazi emblem. The
paper ran a picture of Adolph Hit-
ler on its front page last July in
violation of the law of the Federal
Republic. It was paired with a
photo of Israel's Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan under the headline,
"Israel's Auschwitz in the Desert
—the Mass Murder of the Arabs
—Dayan in Hitler's Footsteps."
Dr. Gerhard Frey, the publisher
of the right-wing journal, made
news in another way last week
when he. named Moshe Menuhin,
father of violin virtuoso Yehudi
Menuhin, "permanent editorial ad-

mitted to Egypt on the morning
of the clash by Lt. Gen. Odd Bull,

the UN cease-fire observation
chief. The goal of the survey was
to prepare the way to clear the
southern end of the canal for the
exit of 15 foreign merchant ves-

sels trapped in the canal since
the June war. Israel had agreed
to the survey in the southern
sector.

Simons' Article
Nationally Noted

By DR. SAMUEL SILVER

(A Seven Arts Feature)

When a rabbi talks about reli-

gion, it's what you expect.
When a layman talks religion
it's news.
One of the most articulate lay-
men around is a one-time shul
president, Leonard N. Simons, of
Detroit. Simons' livelihood is
advertising, and his interests are
wide-ranging. Everyone in Detroit
knows him for his activities in
civic endeavors.
Simons can write, too. In
The Detroit Jewish News, Editor
Philip Slomovitz thought Si-
mons' credo was printable. You
will, too, when you read it. This
is what Simons wrote under
the heading "I Believe in God."
After reading it, you might want
to tell the author what you think
of his views.

"In my heart and mind I believe there
must be some Supreme Being who made
possible everything I see around me. I
don't think these things just happened.
I don't have to prove by my own expe-
rience that God exists. My heart—my
faith—tells me there is a Supreme Be-
ing. I don't know what shape He takes.
I am not referring to any special kind
of God when I say I believe in God I
lust believe there must be some Su-
promo Creator of everything in the
universe, and I hope He is a personal
God so I can pray to him and cominune
with Him. Whether lie listens to 711C or
does anything for me Is beside the
point.
"I believe there is a God, but I can't
describe Him any more than anyone
else can. I believe that somehow some
way, some people get Divine inspira-
tion from God and that God, in Isis wall,
brings HI. message to the world. What
powers He has. I don't know any more
than you do. But I believe He could do
anything He wanted to do if He so
desired_
"Maybe all God does is to give us a
chance by bringing us into the world,
and then it's entirely up to us to make
of our lives what we can or want tc do.
I don't think I can accurately explain
my feelings when I discuss this subject.
All I can say is that I ant sincere in
mg belief that there is a God, and I
will Pray to Him as long as I live.
Everything becomes a matter of faith.
As Maimonldes expressed it in the First
Principle of Faith—"God is the cause
of all existed things—the Author and
Guide of everything that has been cre-
ated." And for that we must have faith
in the existence of a Divine Providence .
This I have."

The UN report also support-
ed Israel's stand that the Egyp-
tian dispatch of boats from Lake
Timsa into the northern part of
the canal was a clear violation
of the Egyptian-Israeli cease-fire
agreement on non-use by either
nation of the canal.

The secretary general indicated
a belief that the 15 ships may be
stranded in the canal indefinitely
because of the fighting and that
future possibilities of clearing the
waterway "are in serious doubt"
Al Ahram, the authoritative Cairo
newspaper, said Egypt would not
free the trapped ships until the
Middle East crisis was settled and
that, as far as Egypt was con-
cerned, such salvage operations
were finished.
The UN report said Israeli firm-
ness made it necessary for the UN
Truce Supervision Organization to
warn Egypt that trouble was likely
if the survey boats moved north-
ward, a warning Gen. Bull per-
sonally passed on to Egypt, Thant
several times asked Israel to re-.
consider its opposition, arguing
that the survey, including the
northern sector, was only a "tech-
nical undertaking." Thant at the
UN and Gen. Bull in Cairo warned
Egypt that the northern survey
could not be done without risk of
a clash.

Foreign Minister Abba Eban
said in a letter to Thant, on the

day after the clash, that if the
canal cease-fire agreement could
be set aside "unilaterally" by

Egypt, the precedent would af-
fect "the entire process of es-
tablishment of peace through

the promotion of agreements."
Gen. Yigal Allon, the Israeli
labor minister, said in New York
that Israel was willing to separate
the question of the reopening of
the Suez Canal for international
use from the general Arab-Israeli
peace talks, but he stressed, Israel
would insist that its ships have
equal rights with the ships of all
other nations in peaceful use of
the waterway.
In Tel Aviv, Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol said it was Israel that
took the initiative for clearing the
southern end of the Suez Canal to
free the stranded ships. He said,
at a question-and-answer session of
Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan,
that he had suggested to the UN
peace emissary Gunnar Jarring
that the ships leave by the south-
ern end when Jarring had asked
for some kind of "gesture" on the
canal issue. The premier said the
artillery exchange, in which five
Israeli soldiers were wounded and
one Israeli and two Egyptian tanks
were destroyed, "proves that we
mean business."
(In Washington it was reported
that the United States government,
preoccupied with problems in
Korea and Vietnam, is quietly seek-
ing to disengage from involvement
in the Arab-Israel issue and is
looking to the UN to resolve mat-
ters such as the flareup of vio-
lence on the Suez Canal.)
