Political Scientist Hannah Arendt NEW YORK — Hannah Arendt, a political philoso- pher who excaped Hitler's Germany and later scruti- nized its morality in "Eichmann in Jerusalem" died Dec. 4 at age 69. Dr. Arendt was university professor of political philos- ophy at the New School for Social Research at the time of her death. Dr. Arendt was the au- thor of eight major works and developed a reputation as writer and scholar with the publication of "The Ori- gins of Totalitarianism" in 1951. The work analyzed the two major forms of 20th- Century totalitarianism — Nazism and Communism — and Dr. Arendt linked their origins to the anti- Semitism and imperialism of the 19th Century. German Sent Home After Nazi Epithet Geriatric Center Aiding Jews May Get Funds From Boxer HAIFA — A superintend- ent was removed from the German freighter m.s. Sally and flown home to Ger- many after declaring "We'll bury them all yet" within earshot of a concentration camp survivor. The survivor is Adam Chi- sik, an official of the Marine Officers Union. The super- intendent insulted him in German, assuming that Chisik did not understand the language. Chisik had boarded the ship in Haifa at the request of the German Seamen's Union and the International Federation of Transport Workers to seek back pay due Filipino sailors aboard the ship. He made the pay proposal to the freighter's captain in the presence of the superin- tendent, who then made the insult. Chisik demanded the su- perintendent's removal; after the freighter's owners in Germany were contacted, the German was flown home. Woman Rabbi Reports Pressure CLEVELAND (JTA) — Rabbi Sandy Sasso, the woman half of the first practicing rabinnical cou- ple, has reported that when she began to search for a pulpit after ordination by the Reconstructionist Rab- binical College, she came under subtle pressure not to take a congregation.

She stirred the most con- troversy with the publica- tion in 1963 of "Eichmann in Jerusalem, a Report on the Banality of Evil," which grew out of her coverage for The New Yorker of the trial of Adolf Eichmann for his role in the "final solution of the Jewish-problem" in the Hitler era. NEW YORK, (JTA) — An official of Self-Help Com- munity Services said that the organization expects an initial payment of $50,000 from heavyweight cham- pion Muhamad All on his promise to give between $100,000 and $150,000 to enable a geriatric center serving mainly handicapped Jews in the Washington Heights section of Manhat- tan to continue to operate for another year. Prior to the champion's promise of the gift, the Hill- side Aged Program Center had been scheduled to shut down on Dec. 31 because funds of the sponsoring agency had run out. Self- Kissinger, CIA `Betrayed Kurds' TUNIS (ZINS) — Dr. Henry Kissinger scuttled the revolt of the Kurdish na- tionalities in Iraq earlier this year, according to one of the aides of the defeated General Mustapha Barzan. The Kurds believe the American Secretary of State cut off aid to them — supplied through Iran and the Central Intelligence Agency. Kissinger hoped that Iraq, free of Kurdish prob- lems he had helped to fer- ment, would renew its ri- valry with Syria, weakening opposition in Damascus to the Egyptian Israeli with- drawal pact he was working out last spring at great cost to the Kurdish movement. `All-Out War Sought by Syria 9 TEL AVIV — Tewfik Hassan, commentator of the government-controlled Ra- dio Damascus, said in a broadcast on Nov. 25, five days before the expiration of the current six-month mandate of the United Na- tions Disengagement Ob- server Force on the Golan Heights: "Syria is working to mob- ilize all the Arab resources, including the sabotage or- ganizations, both militarily and on the oil front, to open up an all-out Palestinian war against Israel whose purpose is to free Palestine from the racist Zionist ent- ity, and this by relying on the internationally sup- ported Arab strategic dept." HANNAH ARENDT Dr. Arendt argued that it was simplistic to pin all the guilt on Eichmann. She said that others were responsible as we — other Germans, other Western countries and even the Jews, who had assented actively or pas- sively to the growing evil. Dr. Arendt said she was trying to make a calm anal- ysis of the situation, to get beyond the histrionics. The book drew criticism from* those who wanted to focus on Eichmann, the man, as a principal creator of the hor- ror. Dr. Arendt said that this was giving him a pow-- beyond his capacity.
