Editor, The Jewish News: I read—with mixed feelings—of the plan of the government of Mexico to present a statue of Christ to the United States to be placed in the city of Corpus Christie, Tex. Manifestly, my mixed feelings stem from two basic sources: 1. I am a Jew with some knowledge of Benson is among 75 U.S. teen- the history of my people, both re- agers enrolled for the fall term. cent and (somewhat) remote; 2.

The build a monument (statue) to our Law Giver, Moses with pennies contributed by children — Jewish and non-Jewish—the world over. The goal will be at least $100,000. "Pushkas for Moses" will be placed in Hebrew schools, syna- gogues, temples — and perhaps some churches (upon invitation). The money would be allocated as follows: $50,000 to the winning sculptor for construction of the long-overdue monument; $50,000 to he divided between two sets of con- testants—children who compete in an essay contest as to the most de- sirable location; artists, of diverse kind, to determine the most fitting design. Further, I would nominate ("tap") the "immortal" Sammy Davis Jr., to be the grand chairman of the over-all project. I feel sure that he would have no difficulty in gather- ing about him a large coterie of volunteers. I will, as a gesture of sincerity, match the first hundred pennies— dollar for penny—and I would in- vite other people with "similar mixed feelings" to do likewise. Sincerely yours, EDWARD R.
