AjCongress Issues Warning
on Biased Film About Israel

NEW YORK—The Ameri-
can Jewish Congress has
prepared a fact sheet to
counter a recently released
film on Israel that presents
"a distorted and hostile ex-
amination of the history of
Zionism, the Palestinian
question, and discrimina-
tion against Oriental Jews
in Israel."
The 30-minute film, To
Live in Freedom," was pro-
duced by Simon Louvish'
and a predominantly Israeli
crew.
The fact sheet, which was
drawn up by Julius Schatz,
director of the Commission
on Jewish Life and Culture
of the American Jewish Con-
gress, states:
"The film presents, in ,a
skillful and subtle manner,
an Israel which is the
source of all evil. The view-
er of the movie would gain
the impression that there is
not one positive trait in the
society, the laws, the politi-
cal composition or the for-
eign policy of the state. It
leads one to assume, in an
indirect and subtle manner,

Do you know what a
kolbo-nik is? It is a Hebrew
term for a person of many
gifts. Such a person is Ir.:
ving Katz, the adminis-
trator of -Detroit's Temple
Beth El.
An ordained rabbi, Katz
has been the administrator

of that congregation for 30
years. In Detroit he -has
written many articles in
which he has chronicled the
history of that community's
Jewry.
In the congregational
world he is one of the found-
ers of the National Associ-
ation of Temple Adminis-
trators, the model for that
kind of association in this
country.
Katz is also an expert in
Hebrew, which he speaks
fluently. His Yiddish is also
a mkhayeh, though most of
his works are in English.
May 12, Detroiters will
gather to salute Irving Katz
on his silver jubilee in
American Jewish life; be-
fore Detroit he served in
Cleveland and Youngstown.
Spry at 70, Irving Katz
has the sweetest of temper-
aments despite the pressure
of work, to which he gives
himself with unabated
energy.

OXFORD (JTA)—The
world's - leading center of
Hebrew and Jewish studies
outside Israel is planning a
major expansion of its facil-
ities and academic manpow-
er.
Dr. David Patterson, prin-
cipal of the Qxford Center
for Post-Graduate Hebrew
Studies, • says -that he is
trying to' raise $3 million to
give the center as firm a fi-
nancial base as the older
colleges of Oxford Univer-
sity.
The center now plans to
appoint five full-time fel-
lows in various aspects. of
higher Judaic studies. It
also hope–s-- to increase its
annual junior fellowships
from three to 10.
that the right policy is that
suggested by the Arab
states and the PLO.
The fact sheet then goes
on to list specific points in
the film that "deserve ref u-
tation, particularly exam-
ples of "selective history"
— as, for example, the
omission by the film's pro-
ducer of the fact that Israel
was invaded by seven Arab
states on establishing its in-
dependence.

WASHINGTON (JTA)—It
has been reported that Sam-
uel W. Lewis, 46, a career
foreign service officer who
is Assistant Secretary of
State for International Or-
ganizations will be appoint-
ed the next U.S. ambassa-
dor in Israel.
He will replace Malcolm
Toon who has been named
ambassador to Moscow.
The choice of Lewis was
conveyed to Israel in the
last few days and no objec-
tions are expected, accord-
ing to sources.
Lewis won out against
two other candidates who
had been considered for the
post: Marvin Kalb, diplo-
matic correspondent for
CBS, and George S. Vest, a
career diplomat. The
choice of ambassador to Is-
rael is considered particu-
larly important in view of
President Carter's attention
to the Middle East.
