Stamps Honor Truman, Buildings
U.S Stamp Honors Patriot
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
Postal service is issuing a set of
four commemorative stamps in
March honoring Haym Salo-
_ mon and three other heroes of
the American Revolution.
The ten-cent Salomon stamp'
will be issued in Chicago March
25. All four stamps will have a
brief description on the reverse
side under the adhesive.
Salomon was a merchant,
banker and Revolutionary War
financier, born in Poland of
Jewish-Portuguese parents in
1740. An advocate of Polish in-
dependence, he fled to England
in 1772 and then to America,
where he opened a brokerage
office in New York.
He was in New York only a
few months before he joined
the Sons of Liberty, and was
twice arrested _and impris-
oned by the British.
New stamps honoring U.S. President Harry S. Truman and architecture in Israel are being
issued in March by the philatelic service of the Israel Ministry of Communications. The blue
Truman stamp will be issued in a five Israeli-pound denomination. The architecture stamps, in
blue, olive and red, will feature the Hebrew University synagogue, the Bat Yam Town Hall and
the Yad Mordechai Museum, and will be issued in Israeli pound denominations of 1.05, 1.15 and
1.55.

The new IL 10 note bears a
picture of Sir Moges .Montef-
iore and the Jaffa Gate on the
obverse. It will replace the note
bearing the likeness of poet
Hayim Nahaman Bialik, and
' will be in use -until phased out
by normal.wear.
The IL 500 note will bear a
picture of the late David Ben-
Gurion and -is slated to be is-
sued in 1977. The pictures of
Theodor Herzl and Chaim
Waizmann will remain on the
IL 100 and IL 50 notes, respec-
tively, while Henrietta Szold
will be pictured on the IL 5
note. All will have gafes of the
Old City on the obverse.
The new notes are smaller
than those in use until now,
following a world-wide trend.
This makes them easier to
fold into a wallet and reduces
the wear and tear, which in
turn reduces the need to re-
print notes of the series. The
colors also will be distinctly
different, eliminating the con-
fusion -between the IL 50-and
the IL 10 notes.
The new note lacks the metal-
lic strip of the old notes, but
does have a distinct watermark
in the likeness of Montefiore.
It also has a number im-
printed in invisible ink, which
can be scanned only by appro-
priate electronic equipment
used by the Bank of Israel.

Morris' .diary for the years
In its latest version, the leg-
end of the "Elders of Zion"
was concocted in Paris in the
last decade of the 19th Cen-
tury by an unknown author
working for the Russian se-
cret police. For his purposes,
the annonythous forger
, adapted an old French politi-
cal pamphlet by Maurice Joly
attributing ambitions of
world domination to Napoleon
III, which does not Contain
the slightest allusion to -Jews
or to Judaism.
This "dialogue" was trans-
formed into the "protocols" of
an alleged conference of- the
leaders of world Jewry, who
stated in summing up that,
Under the cloak of modern de-
mocracy, they already con-
trolled the policies of numerous
European states and were
therefore very close to their ob-
jective.
However, the calculations of
the Russian police misfired on
that occasion: Nicholas II, im-
pressionable and anti-Semitic
though' he was, detected the
fraud, writing "One does not de-
fend a worthy cause by vile
means" in the margin of the
manuscript submitted to him.
The world-wide success of the
Protocols dates- from 1919 to
1921. After the widespread
slaughter in World War I, the
Russian Revolution in 1917, and
the -risings in Germany, many

`Protocols' Spread in Europe
Spewing Hatred Toward Jews
The "Protocols of the
- Learned - Elders of Zion", the
Encyclopedia Judaica reports,
are an anti-Semitic forgery
aimed at showing the existence
of international Jewish aspira-
tions bent on world power.
The specter`'.of a worldwide
Jewish conspiracy aiming at
reducing the gentiles to slavery
or exterminating them loomed
up in the Christian imagination
during the Middle Ages, grow-
ing out of legends about well-
poisoning and plague-spread-
ing.
Some such stories claimed
that a secret rabbinical confer-
ence had been held to work out
a detailed plan for ritual geno-
cide of the Christians. From the
time of the Renaissance, these
legends turned on a political
plot rather than a religious one.

The text was widely circu-
lated during the Russian civil
war by propagandists seeking
to incite the masses against c
the "Jewish revolution," and
undoubtedly contributed to
the extensive programs in
southern Russia between 1918
and 1920. After the defeat of
the White armies, Russian
emigres _publicized the Proto-
cols in the West.

In Berne in 1934 the Jewish
community of Switzerland
brought the distributors of the
Protocols to trial, establish-
ing in court that the work was
a forgery, but this did nothing
to diminish the zeal of its
propagators.

"hidden cause" for such/ tragic
and momentous events.
In 1921, the English journal-
ist Philip Graves pointed out
the close sir-hilarity between the
text of the Protocols and Joly's
pamphlet. This was no bar to an
enormous circulation of the
text, which was translated into
all the main world languages.
Until 1927 it was even spon-
sored in the United States by
Henry Ford.
The Judaica states that well
before the. Nazi rise to power,
the ,111--otocols found the largest
number of adherents in Ger-
many. The theory of the occult
power of the Jews, sworn ene-
mies of German-Christian cul-
ture, perfectly suited those
reactionary propagandists who
attributed Germany's defeat to
"a stab in the back." Right from
the start the Nazi Party propa-
gated this theme.
