has left Emmet A. Frank with the
conviction that a southern congre-
gation will support a rabbi who
speaks out for what he believes is
the truth—even on the explosive
issue of civil rights of Negroes.
Pointing out that a spiritual lead-
er is always subject to restraints
from members of his congregation
who disagree with him, Rabbi
Frank told the Washington Post
that "freedom of the pulpit is
something you have to fight for all
the time."
He recalled that he used his 1958
Yom Kippur sermon to attack Vir-
ginia's "massive resistance" to
school desegregation, enraging the
local White Citizens Council. When
he was invited to speak at the Ar-

Israel . Scroll Sale
Arouses Jordan's
UNESCO Protest
LONDON (JTA)—The Times re-
ported from Paris that Jordan was
disputing Israel's claim to the Tem-
ple Scroll, the longest Dead Sea
scroll yet discovered, and will con-
test it at the September session of
UNESCO in Paris.
The scroll was purchased by Is-
rael from a Jordanian antiquities
dealer in East Jerusalem known as
Kando. after protracted negotia-
tions. The price was not disclosed
but the Wolfson Foundation in Lon-
don contributed more than 880.000
toward the purchase and the scroll
will eventually be known as the
Wolfson Scroll, the Times reported.
According to the paper, Western
scholars have been trying for years
to get the dealer to sell the scroll
for which he reportedly asked
nearly 8250,000.
The Jordanian government has
declared the Israeli purchase in-
valid. The Amman authorities say
that under the 1954 Hague Conven-
tion for the protection of cultural
property in occupied territories,
the scroll could not be sold. Prof.
Yigal Yadin, Hebrew University
archaeologist, said the Temple
