project which it charges will serve
a religious tourist attraction oper-

designed for purposes such as
these," they added.

Springs, a seven-story statue called
"Christ of the Ozarks" and the
Passion Play, are operated by the
Elna 111. Smith Foundation. In their

by the National Jewish Community
Relations Council which character-
izes the play as an "anti-Semitic
tract, the whole them of which is
that Jews are guilty of deicide."
