work which Malben, the Joint
Distribution Committee pro-
gram in Israel, Las helped to
create over the past 15 years,
it was reported by Edward
Ginsberg, JDC Chairman.
The other centers are lo-
cated in Beersheba, Jerus-
alem, Tel Aviv, Haifa and the
Chaim Sheba Medical Center
in Tel Hashomer.
Ginsberg said that the
opening of the two new cen-
ters for the care and treat-
ment of children suffering
from mental and physical
disabilities 'helped to fill "one
of the country's most serious
unmet needs." He pointed
out that about 15 per cent of
the children in Israel are
born with actual or potential
handicaps.
The Assaf Harofe center

most of them in Assaf Harofe
Hospital. The center is thus
in a strategic position to de-
tect deficiencies at birth and
to follow up on infants who
are likely to develop handi-
caps later on.
The center's staff has in-
structed the doctors and nur-
ses at mother and child clin-
ics in special techniques to
diagnose various defects. The
center expects to be able to
treat 20 to 25 children per
month.
The child development cen-
ter in the Ashkelon Hospital
serves an area which has
previously been almost totally
neglected.
As at ',.he Assaf Harofe cen-
ter, th,2 Ashkelon staff has
alreaisty begun to instruct
doh-'tors and nurses in the
area's mother and child clin-
ics in the techniques to iden-
tify infants with actual or
potential mental and physical
deficiencies.

Italy Premier
Denies Laxity
With Fascists
Sammy Davis Jr., Tells
Why Ile liecame a Jew
NEW YORK—"The proph-
etic heritage of the Jewish
people, with its majestic
teachings of universal ideal-
ism, has apparently created
in the Jew a will to live
which no disaster could
crush. I wanted to be a part
of this people. I didn't want
to stay on the outside look-
ing in any longer, as I had to
do all my life. I wanted to
get on the inside, feel my
Judaism and participate in
it."
These were the words of
black entertainer Sammy
Davis Jr., in a message read
at the 30th anniversary cele-
bration of United Israel
World Union at Cong. Rodeph
Sholom here.
Davis, whose message was
read by World Union founder
David Horowitz, was out of
the country at the time.
Harry Leventhal was hon-
ored at the dinner for his
dedication "to the Hebraic
faith and humanitarian caus-
es." Rev. John Stanley
Grauel, Methodist minister
who served on the refugee
ship Exodus, was one of the
speakers.
Another message was read
from Dr. Max Nussbaum of
Temple Israel of Hollywood,
who converted Davis to Ju-
daism.
The entertainer said that
ROME (JTA) — Italian
Premier Guilio Andreotti re-
jected accusations that his
government has been lax in
preventing a resurgence of
fascism.
Andreotti was replying to
questions in Parliament at
the end of one of the most
violent sessions in recent
years. Neo-fascist and left-
wing deputies insulted each
other, punched each other
and hurled objects across the
chambers as ushers strug-
gled to restore order.
Andreotti also rejected
communist accusations that
his government manages to
survive only because of the
tacit support of the neo-
fascist Italian Social Move-
ment (MSI) which is now
Italy's fourth largest political
movement with 56 deputies
in the House and 26 senators.
The MSI came under par-
liamentary attack following
.1 rally last month in Milan
in which some of its leaders
were involved and in which
young policeman was
killed.
Although the MSI has dis-
claimed any link with two
right-wingers arrested in
connection with the killing,
Andreotti said: "When (MSI)
senators and deputies are
in the front ranks of a
banned march which result-
ed in the killing of a police-
man, they may not be guilty
on a penal basis, but they
are certainly guilty politic-
ally."
Andreotti had been asked
`o outlaw the party on the
basis of a 1956 law that bans
the resurrection of fascism
•der any guise.
T h e premier, however,
3a id only that his gov-
ernment is "ready to adopt
urgent measures directly if
this proved necessary and
advisable."
the main motivation for his
decision to become a Jew was
"the prophetic ideals of so-
cial justice and human broth-
erhood, beyond race and
creed" that Judaism repre-
sents. He added:
"For many years I have
seen an affinity between the
Jews and the Negro. The
Jews have been oppressed
for 3,000 years and the Ne-
groes for 300, but the rest
was very much the same.
"I have read the history of
the Jews rather thoroughly,
and what I found was quite
familiar to me: oppressed
and enslaved for centuries,
despised and rejected;
searching for a home, for
equality and human dignity,
and suffering the loneliness
of being unwanted—but sur-
viving even the destruction of
their homes and the burning
of their temples; hanging on
to the faith and enduring the
scorn, the intolerance, the
abuses against them be-
cause they were `different';
time and again losing eves y-
thing, but never their belief
in themselves and in their
right to have rights, asking
for nothing but to be left
alone — and I found myself
saying to the author — it
was 'A History of the Jews'
by Abram Sachar — 'I know
exactly how you feel'."
