Paris (JTA) — The French
Ministry of Culture has paid
$1 million for the original
manuscript of Emile Zola's
famed "J'Accuse," the au-
thor's open letter to the
French president, asserting
the innocence of Alfred
Dreyfus.
The 39-page letter, written
in 1898, was purchased for
the Bibliotheque Nationale,
the state library.
In December 1894, Capt.
Dreyfus, a Jewish officer
attached to the French gen-
eral staff, was convicted of
treason on the basis of
falsified evidence. He was
found guilty by a military
court and sentenced to
public degradation and
banishment for life to
Devil's Island.
Zola's letter, which was
written after a military ap-
peals court reaffirmed
Dreyfus' conviction, accused
the French military of anti-
Semitism. It was published
on Jan. 13, 1898 on the front
page of L'Aurore (The
Dawn), a daily founded by
Georges Clemenceau, a
member of Parliament and
future prime minister of
France.
Clemenceau chose the title
of the letter, which means "I
accuse."
The document charged
that the War Office and
General Staff, which had
convicted Dreyfus in
camera, was inspired by an-
ti-Semitic and other im-
proper motives. The letter
named the true culprit, Maj.
Ferdinand Esterhazy, as
having provided secret
documents to the German
military attache to Paris.
Following publication of
his letter, Zola was found
guilty of libel in a trial, at
which the question of
Dreyfus' innocence was not
admissable. The writer was
sentenced to a year in prison
but fled to England.

Israel Housing
With Shelters

Tel Aviv (JTA) — All new
housing will have to incor-
porate shelters to offer pro-
tection against nuclear,
biological and chemical war-
fare, as well as high ex-
plosives, before receiving a
building license, according
to Interior Minister Arye
Deri.
Construction industry
sources said standards and
specifications for nuclear
shelters have yet to be work-
ed out, let alone issued.
