The result is a want of solid foundations in the individual which in its extreme form amounts to moral instability.' "The only remedy, he argued, is to develop a close connection with a living society which would enable individual Jews to bear the hatred and humiliation to which they are often ex- posed by the rest of man- kind. "Herzl is to be admired, Einstein tells us, for saying `at the top of his voice' that only the establishment of a national home in Palestine can cure this evil. It cannot be removed by assimilation. The Jews of the old German ghettos were poor, deprived of civic and political rights, insulated from European progress.

The gang had been active in the Ramallah area north of Jerusalem. When captured, the group, termed the "liquida- tion squad" by inves- tigators, was found in pos- session of arms and explo- sives. They had reportedly car- ried out a number of mur- ders of local Arabs they said had collaborated with the Israelis, as well as grenade attacks on Israeli vehicles. Another terrorist group captured recently included Four Terrorists Jailed for Life TEL AVIV (JTA) — Four Palestinian terrorists were sentenced last week to life imprisonMent by a military court in Gaza. They had been convicted of commit- ting acts of terrorism result- ing in the deaths of two Is- raelis and the wounding of others when they tossed grenades at Israeli vehicles driving through the Gaza Strip last January and Feb- ruary. The four were identified as Riad Hilas, Sufian al- Haddad and Muain Musal- lam, all 21 years old, and Faiz Fadaweh, 29. two brothers from Hebron who led security forces to large arms caches in the region. Israel May End U.S. Shortwave JERUSALEM (JTA) — The World Zionist Organ- ization information de- partment is recommending that Israel's shortwave radio transmissions to North and South America be phased out and the re- sources channeled into tele- vision broadcasts via satel- lite and video cassettes and taped radio shows. A final decision will be taken jointly by the Foreign Ministry, the WZO and the Israel Broadcasting Authority. The WZO information department said surveys show that audiences listen- ing to the shortwave pro- grams are miniscule. Medium wave broadcasting of Israeli material through local American stations would be much more effec- tive, the department be- lieves, and resources saved could also be used for TV programs especially made for showing in America. The cutback in short wave transmissions is con- templated, the department stressed, only for the West- ern hemisphere, not for Europe (especially Eastern Europe) where, it is felt, they still have an important role to play. 0 21 O Im• CA m r- m sarily demands from those who pursue it seriously the sacrifice of their lives upon the altar of some ruthless ideology, or the practice of despotism — this prop- aganda, which filled the art and talk of the day, was simply untrue." An introductory essay to the Berlin book by Noel Amman, now Vice Chancel- lor of the University of Lon- don after having held im- portant other academic positions, pays honor to Berlin, stating that "human beings delight him because he has a special gift which some of those who make sa- pient judgments upon people singularly lack." "Personal Impressions" proves the eminence of the author. His new book adds glory to the author's re- markable literary career. —P.S.

"Unswerving public sup- port by an utterly good (and reasonably well-informed) man, against a virtually complete lack of sympathy for it on the part of the members of his social and intellectual milieu (whose general moral an political views he largely shared), may not by itself be enough to justify a doctrine or a pol- icy, but neither can it be dismissed; it counts for something; in this case for a great deal." The Berlin volume con- cludes with an essay quot- ing Russian emigres. Berlin asserts that "Russian nationalism used as an antidote against such un- healthy interests on the part of, at any rate, the edu- cation of the educated sec- tion of the population, and fed, as so often, by ferocious anti-Semitic propaganda, in its turn produced strong pro-Jewish and pro- Western feelings which seem to me to have taken deep root among the intel- ligentsia." There is recognition of the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the essay which, many will regret, does not refer to President Roosevelt's alleged failures to con- tribute more effectively to the rescue of Jews who were under the heel of Nazism. In tribute to FDR, however, he states: "But Roosevelt's greatest service to mankind (after ensuring the victory against the enemies of free- dom) consists in the fact that he showed that it is possible to be politically ef- fective and yet benevolent and human: that the fierce left- and right-wing prop- aganda of the 30s, according to which the conquest and retention of political power is not compatible with human qualities, but neces- • 31V3a Sa10 11oal13a t1 31V3t10 community in which he was wholly absorbed, in which he felt himself a fully privileged member, which asked nothing of him that was contrary to his natural habits of thought. Our forefathers of those days were pretty poor specimens intellecually and physi- cally, but socially they enjoyed an enviable spiritual equilibrium.' " Additionally noteworthy is the author's personal comment on Einstein as a Zionist, on Israel's role, on its acceptance by Jewish in- tellectuals, by world Jewry. Sir Isaiah comments in his conclusion in the essay on Einstein: "Let me return briefly, in conclusion, to the state of Is- rael. The Zionist movement, like the state of Israel, has often been attacked, today more than ever, both by countries outside its borders and from within; sometimes with, more often without, reason or justice.

"But, as in the case of Herzl, the decisive factor in his awakening as a Jew was not so much encounter with an un- familiar doctrine (he had met adherents of it in Prague but apparently took no interest in it then) as the chauvinism and xenophobia of leading Les, in this case in Be- which led him to realization of the pre- carious predicament of the Jewish community even in the civilized west. `Man can flourish,' he de- clared, 'only when he loses himself in a community. Hence the moral danger of the Jew who has lost touch with his own people and is regarded as a foreigner by the people of his adoption.' `The tragedy of the Jews is . . . that they lack the sup- . proadl ea. a ste 1nt3a (Continued from Page 64) •NOTICE TO BUYER The Factory Invoice Price is higher than the price we actually paid for the vehicles.
