Church Changes
Policy for Israel

STOCKHOLM (ZINS) —
The Christian- church in
Sweden, a long-time oppo-
nent of atomic energy, has
changed its stance because
of the Arab's use of oil policy
as a weapon against Israel.,
"From the standpoint of
simple morality the contin-
ued existence of Israel must
have a higher priority than
the danger which is con-
joined in the use of an
atomic reactor," according
to a spokesman for the
church.

Deaf Are Aided

Anti-Semite Image Upset Lindy

NEW YORK — Aviation
hero Charles Lindbergh re-
gretted that he was per-
ceived as being anti-
Semitic, according to his
wife, Anne Morrow
Lindbergh.
In her book, "War Within
and Without: The Diaries
and Letters of Anne Morrow
Lindbergh, 1939-1944,"
(Harcourt,
Brace,
Jovanovich)
Mrs.
Lindbergh points out that
Lindbergh was appalled
when he saw the survivors
of a concentration camp and
that he had discussed with
her the idea of an indepen-
dent homeland for the
Jewish people similar to
what would_eventually be-
come the state of Israel.
Lindbergh's reputation as
an anti-Semite stemmed
from his pre-war
isolationist speeches in
which he often cited the
Jews as one of the groups
pressing the country
towards war. In the book,
Mrs. Lindbergh refutes the
charges against her hus-
band:
"He was accused of
being anti-Semitic, but in
the 45 years I lived with.
him I never heard him
make a remark against
the Jews, not a crack or
joke, and neither did any
of our children."
In the unretouched
diaries in the book, the no-
tation for Nov. 24, 1941,
covers a private conversa-
tion between the
Lindberghs about the need
for-the Jews having "a land
- of their own." Although pes-
simistic about the prospect,
she quotes him as saying
that it "must be worked at."

hammers and rocks.

No injuries were re-
ported, but about 30 Ramal-
lah residents have filed
complaints with the local
police.

On the subject of anti-
Semitism, she adds: "He
talks absolutely the way I
feel, that it isn't only what
happens to the Jews but
what happens to the people
who Jew-bait. How it de-
grades a man or a nation.
War is clean, but this other
is disease."
The diaries disclose that
she was deeply disturbed
about his speech made on
Sept. 11, 1941, in Des
Moines, where he said that
"the three most important
groups who have been
pressing this country
toward war are the British,
the Jewish and the
Roosevelt Administration."
In the same speech, he said
that "no person with a sense
of the dignity of mankind
can condone the persecution
of the Jewish, race in Ger-
many."

Lindbergh said she tried
