Artist Wins
Japanese prize

Sydney, Australia (JTA) —
A Brooklyn-born artist who
is president of Tokyo's Jew-
ish Community Center has
become the first non-
Japanese to win the
prestigious Mombudaijin-
sho award for excellence in
art.
Frederick Harris, 60, told
the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that his selection in-
dicated a "wonderful accep-
tance by the Japanese com-
munity.'
He is the only foreign
member of the Suiboku-Kai,
an honorary society of ar-
tists who use the sumi-e
(black ink) method of tradi-
tional Japanese art.
An architect by training,
Mr. Harris was transferred.
by the U.S. Army to Japan
after the Korean War. He
studied art in Japan before
returning to the United
States and enrolling in the
John Herron Art Institute.
He returned to Japan in
1963 to open an architec-
tural office and has lived
there ever since.
Mr. Harris told JTA that
the Community Center is
the focus of Jewish life in
Tokyo, serving the 170 Jew-
ish families there and Jew-
ish tourists and transients.
It houses a synagogue,
mikveh, swimming pool,
classrooms and other
facilities.

Chile Graves
Vandalized

New York (JTA) — Some
100 gravestones were van-
dalized in a Jewish cemetery
in southern Chile, the World
Jewish Congress reported.
Among the anti-Semitic
graffiti at the cemetery in •
Temuco, Chile, were slogans
referring to the 500th an-
niversary of the expulsion of
Jews from Spain, said Elan
Steinberg, executive director
of the WJC.
One of the slogans said,
"Jews, you were expelled
from Spain in 1492. It can
happen again," Mr.
Steinberg was told by
Manuel Tenenbaum, direc-
tor of the Latin American
Jewish Congress, head-
quartered in Buenos Aires.
The graffiti, which also in-
cluded Stars of David but not
swastikas, were spray-
painted on the gravestones.
Only a handful of Jews are
now believed to live in the
area, Mr. Steinberg said, ad-
ding: "There was a larger
community at the turn of the
century."
