to the United Nations for drafti ing of a genocide treaty, predicts complete acceptance of the American Jew by the close of tho century. "Prejudice against American Jews today has evolved into a soft-spoken typ'r" he said. "Gentle people of prejudice are still involved in subtle discrimination in housing and fraternal organizations, but the prejudice of the gutter bigot is gone." Mr. Rosen touched briefly on the subject of the Radical Right which he described as "not pecularly anti-sernitic;" housing; employment and Judo-Christian relations. Mr. Rosen described the ADL role in current civil rights activities as "a determination to fight discrimination and prejudice against any minority. As Jews, we have the further responsibility to creating an image of the Jew to the Nagro community that will p r e v e n t anti-Semitism as the Negro becomes acculturated," he said.
An objective tho American Jewish community, along with other enlightened elements ^of Hie population, xmu ooujjiii, for
more than a quarter of a century, neared achievement last weekend. The House of Repres e n t a t i v e s overwhelmingly adopted the Administration's immigration law reforms abolishing the discriminatory national origins quota system and similar action by the Senate, seems assured. The present reform measure hung fire in Congress for three years. Action followed an appeal by President Johnson who said in a letter to Speaker MacCormack that "there is no piece of legislation before the Congress that, in terms of decency and equity, is more demanding of passage than the immigration bill." Debate In the two-day debate preceding passage, Rep. Emanuel Celler of New York, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, denounced the national origins quota system as "antiquated, unworkable and unscientific." He told the House the system had been devised after World War I "in an atmosphere of fear, almost of hysteria." Rep. Leonard Farbstein, New York Democrat, deplored the fact that the reform law had not been adopted before World War II when it would have permitted many of the Jews of Europe to escape slaughter by the Nazis. Rep. Seymour Halpcrn, N. Y. Republican, also stressed that hundreds of thousands of European Jews could have been saved during the Nazi tyranny
br. Wexler to Be In Omaha Sept. 72 I, Dr. William A. Wexler, International President of H'nai B'rith will be the guest speaker at the dinner honoring Dr. Abe Greenberg on Sunday, September 12. The dinner at the Indian Hills Inn at 0:30 p.m. will honor Dr. Greenberg's election to the VicePresidency of the International Organization. Life of Service "i Dr. .Wexler is a long-time leader of the Savannah, Georgia, Jewish community where he makes his home. He is a past president and life board member of the Savannah Jewish Community Council and the Savannah Jewish Community Center. He has served as chairman of the community's United Jewish Appeal Campaign and Israel Bond Drives and is a former member of the Savannah Board of Jewish Education. He has also served as Alderman of the city, Boy Scout Commissioner, Finance chairman of the USO. He is a Life member of the Masons, Scottish Rite and Shrine. During40 years of service to his community and his people, I)r, Wexler has made four trips overseas, including three trips to Israel. Civil Rights ;|A pioneer in the fight for civil rights, Dr. Wexler has never compromised his conviction that all American citizens must be equal under the law. Some years ago he put up the deed to his home as bail for a northern stranger who was arrested in Savannah while helping Negroes register to vote. Dr. Wexler is active in many causes because
had the national origins quota system not been" in effect. The new measure does away with ihe national origins quota system and makes many other reforms in the entire immigration procedure. It facilitates the reunion of families, gives priorities in admission of other immigrants to those whose skills meet American needs and eliminates racial origin as a criterion for a visa. Instead of national quotas based on an outworn formula, a total of 170,000 visas will be granted yearly, with a maximum of 20,000 to any one country, for immigration from outside the Western Hemisphere. The House measure set no ceiling on visas for immigrants from Western Hemisphere countries but a Senate amendment would limit the total number of visas to 115,000.
Dr. William Wexler he believes in them. "There's not much value in believing in anything unless you do something about it" he says. Community Invited The entire community is invited to take this opportunity to meet Dr. Wexler as well as to pay tribute to the half century of service of Dr. Greenberg. Dinner reservations are being taken by Reuben Lippet, 1034 Hillcrest Drive. Those unable to attend the dinner are invited to the reception which will follow.
Tel Aviv (JTA)—The Israel Government asked the United Nations Israel-Lebanese Mixed Armistice commission to investigate a new raid by El Fatah terrorists, in which an irrigation pipeline was blown up at Ramim, near the Lebanese border last week Israeli oficials said the saboteurs came from a base in Lebanon.

Goldberg for NEW YORK. N. Y. (JTA)- The Roman Catholic weekly •'America" btlj.;j;e.sts editorially in a current ksue that United Katiuiis delegate Arthur J. Goldberg may become this country's first Jewish President. The Jraiit organ lauded Mr. Goldberg's ''gifts as a mediator." The magazine asked: "Who can deny that several other chapters may remain to be v/ritton in the Horatio Alger story of Arthur J. Goldberg—a man who might conceivably be destined to become the first Jewish President of the United States?' In Cairo, the Egyptian newspaper "Al Akhhar" said that the appointment of Mr. (iokib'-rg '"involves contempt of the United Nations itself." The newspaper said: "The choice of a Zionist for this post, is like the choice of a debauched atheist to represent his country at a religious conference called to promote virtue—or the choice of a thief wilh a police record to .sit among judges at a meeting called to discuss the .sovereignty of the lav/."

Jewish Women Have Less Gervioai Oaneer LONDON (JTA)--The question of the relatively low rate of incidence of c e r v i c a l cancer among Jewish women w a s raised in the House of Commons when William Shepherd, Conservative M. P. asked Health Minister Kenneth Robinson if he had evidence of such a disparity in the incidence rate between Jewish and other women. Citing the- view of a Newcastle professor on the question, Mr. Shepherd asked the Health Minister to make all information on the matter known to the public. In his reply, Mr. Robinson said thai, while there was no conclusive evidence available at the moment, "various studies have sworn that Jewish women have a markedly lower incidence rate than others." He said there were indications that male circumcision may be a factor. He noted that death from canin Israel was only one per 100,000 compared with 10.5 per 100,000 for England and Wales.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews also |) r o t e s t e d to the Postmaster General and asked for withdrawal of the issue, scheduled for release in September.

Fewer Cancer Deaths For Oriental Jeus LONDON (JTA)-Studies of susceptibility to cancer among Jews of European and Oriental origins in Israel were discussed by Professor Peter Beaconsfield when he disclosed a new biochemical approach to the understanding and inhibiting the mechanism of cancer. It has already been determined by Israeli Public Health authorities that Jews from Middle Eastern countries were less likely to die from cancer than Jews from Europe. No explanation of this' fact had been made. Professor Beaconsfield asserted that the Oriental Jews belong to ethnic groups known to have a deficiency of the enzyme believed to be instrumental in producing cancer cells. The deficiency ocqurs mainly in males and is transmitted by a gene found in females. This genetic peculiarity, according to the medical scholar, is mostly found in racial groups that originated cround the shores of the Eastem Mediterranean. • Books of Jewish Interest • Tefillin • Tallit. • Meiiulahs • All religious articles, plain or artistic, are available at reasonable prices from: • A.

New York (JTA)-Dr. Judah Cahn, rabbi of the Metropolitan Synagogue of New York, was elected chairman of the board of directors of the New York H i g h e r Education Assistance Corporation this week. The corporation is a nonprofit body whose function it is to guarantee the bank loans to college students to further their education. The Corporation was created by the Governor and the 1957 Legislature. To date the corporation has underwritten loans totaling more than $134,000,000 to more than 100,000 young people by lending institutions throughout the State; and at present has outstanding loans to over 96,000 students. Dr. Cahn has been a director of the Corporation since its inception. BAMBERG, W. G e r m a n y (JTA)—Mayor Thebdor Mathtaii. informed the head of the Jewish community here that the city will pay for the material damage resulting from the overthrow of tombstones and their desecration by swastikas in the Jewish cemetery' here. In that anti-Semitic action, 23 graves were smeared and overturned. The cost of repairing the material damage is expected to be about 15,000 marks (nearly $4,000). GENEVA (JTA) — Francois Bruhschwig, the president of the Geneva Jewish Community, disclosed that he and the-Chief Rabbi had received many messages of sympathy from leading members of the Geneva Christian community-over the daubing of a Memorial stone- for the 6,000,000 European Jewish victims of the Nazi holocaust. The Memorial is located outside the Geneva synagogue, -
Washington <JTA)—President Nasser of Egypt said, in a taped television interview broadcast by CBS, that Egypt continues to renounce the possibility of a peaceful settlement with Israel, will never accept the existence of Israel, and "the only solution is force." He said that a reckoning with Israel might come in five years, but noted that the Moslems waited 70 years during the Crusade to expel the Christians from Palestine. Peaceful Settlements' Asked by the CBS interviewers about his advocacy of peaceful settlement of world problems and the contradiction between those sentiments and his attitude toward Israel, he said that Israel could be likened only to aggressors who invaded and occupied the State of California. He declared tne m a r k i n g or peace requires the existence of two reasonable sides, but cannot be made with aggressors who continue to occupy territory. Jordon Hivcr The E g y p t i a n leader explained thac deferment of action against Israel's Jordan River water project was due to the fact that Syria was militarily unable to defend itself. He disclosed he had advised Syria to postpone such action until military preparations were completed. He rejected the possibility of a negotiated settlement with Israel, claiming Israel had failed to respect United Nations decisions, and saying the existence of Israel constituted nothing more than "a plot of .aggression."
