Featured on the stamp will be details from the Lion's Gate in Jerusalem's Old City Wall. The souvenir sheet (top) will show the Lion's Gate itself and will picture the stamp in the right half of the sheet. (See detail lower right). The "Lion's Gate" is derived from two pairs of stone lions who guard each side of the entrance. Among the Arabs the gate is known as "Gate of the Lady Mary," from the belief that the mother of Jesus was born nearby. Christians call it "St. Stephen's Gate" in honor of the first Christian martyr, who passed' through it on the way to his death. Abraham Mapu, one of the greatest Zionist novelists and historians of the 19 Century, is commemorated on an- other stamp (lower left) to be issued Oct. 8 by Israel. Born in 1808, Mapu stunned literary circles in 1853 with a novel called "Love of Zion," an epic story set against the background of Israel and its glory during the period of the First Temple. The book was trans- lated into English, French, Russian, Yiddish, Ladino and Arabic. In a short time he became the most prominent of a circle of learned Lithuanian Jews, winning acclaim for his ability to endow modern Hebrew literature with the language and spirit of the Bible. In 1867, he left his native Lithuania for Germany in search of a cure for his illness. Ile died there the same year. Lord Russell Fears Russians Want Doctors' Trial' for 2 Jews in Prague bisONDON (JTA) — The British philosopher Bertrand Russell said in a letter to the London Times Monday that he had confirmation of Soviet demands that Czecho- slovakia stage anti-Semitic "show trials" along the lines of the "Doctors' Plot" trials in the , USSR during the Stalin era. Lord Russell, who has frequently defended Soviet policies in the past, said the Russians want the trials in order to conceal the lack of support for their intervention in Czechoslovakia and to divert the anger of the people in Czechoslo- vakia and board. He appealed to Communists and Socialists all over the ,world to "resolutely oppose these demands." Lord Russell said that the Rus- sians wanted to put two prominent Czechoslovak Jews on trial—Fran- tisek K r i e g e 1, an associate of leader Czecholovak Communist Alexander Dubcek, and Dr. Edu- Goldsteucker, chairman of the ard Czechoslovak Writers Union. Dr. GoldstetIcker is reported have left Czechoslovakia following the oc- cupation. The famed philosopher noted Ms letter that he had been critic. ized as an alarmist when he ap- pealed to Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin last July 21 to declare publicly that the Soviet Union had no intention of using mili- tary force in Czechoslovakia. Now, he said, "I have good rea- son to confirm, because I have it on excellent authority that the So- viet Union, in its determination to stop reforms and to-hide its lack of support by diverting the anger of the people both in Czechoslovakia and abroad, is pressing for a trial in the classic Stalinist tradition of the 'Doctor's Plot.' I appeal with the gravity at my command to So- cialists and Communists through- out the world to resolutely oppose these Soviet demands." Meanwhile, the Polish Com- munist official generally_regarded as the main force behind The War- saw regime's "anti-Zionist" cam- paign last spring has renewed his attack on "Zionists" to justify Po- land's participation in the Soviet- led invasion of Czechoslovakia. Gen. Mieczyslaw Moczar, former minister of interior a n d now a deputy member of the ruling Polit- buro, Sunday denounced the "per- fidious call for humanization and democratization" in Czechoslovakia launched by "imperialists, revi- sionists and Zionists."

BUENOS AIRES—The people of Argentina have an opportunity to learn about Israel as their fellow countrymen see it through a new book, "Israel Seen Through Argen- tinian Eyes on its 20th anniver- sary." The 265-page work is composed of articles by mainly non-Jewish Argentinian experts in several fields who have been to Israel.
