THE DETROIT JEWISH. NEWS Readers Forum Dictionary Definition Fought Terrorism of 36 Years Ago: No Effect on Passover Holiday •• By MOSHE RON Jewish News Special Editor, The Jewish News: Promoted by a genuine belief in Baroness Gait- skell's sense of fairness and justice I submitted the ma- ligning definitions of "Jew" in the Oxford dictionaries for her consideration in the hope that she would be moved to start a bill in the House of Lords which would remedy this grievous injus- tice to Jewry. I have received the follow- ing reply: "Thank you for your letter of Jan. 30th. have once again looked up the definition of 'Jew' in the Oxford dictionary and I share your disgust. How- ever, I am totally against in- troducing a Bill in the House of Lords on the lines you suggest for . more than one reason. "I do not think this kind of motion warrants a Bill, and I think the plight of Is- rael in the world today is far too serious, and even dan- gerous, to concentrate on such a trivial matter. It would get little sympathy and by the publicity—would be counter-productive. Israel Corresporident The arriving passengers were received with enthu- siasm and Dr. Weizmann seemed deeply touched.

After the Seder more than 5,000 people assem- bled in front of Weiz- mann's house. Weizmann said to them: "We, have to undergo most dif ficult days, but I am afraid that they would not be the last. I am sure, that we shall reach our goal. I wish you a happy holiday." The crowd stood erect Sand sang "Hatkva,"- and danced a hors until late in the night.
