U. S. Experts Praise
IsraeI's Constitution

NEW YORK, (JTA)-Out-
standing American authorities on
international and constitutional
law have commented favorably on
the draft of the Israeli constitu-
ton, it was revealed by Eliahu
Epstein, Israeli envoy in Wash
ington, in statement to the Jew
ish Telegraphic Agency.
The draft, prepared by DR.. Leo
Kohn, counsellor of the Israeli
Foreign Office, attracted wide in
terest in this country. 1t combines
aspects of the American, French
and British systems of government
with some of the fundamentals of
ancient Jewish law.
1t abolishes the death penalty,
separates state and church, guar
antees free access to Palestine's
Holy Places, establishes freedom
of worship for all sects, draws no
distinction among Jews, Christians
and Moslems in their rights as
citizens, and goes beyond any ex-
isting Notwithstanding that
of the United States-in setting
forth basic human rights.
The draft provides that no one
should be subjected to torture,
flogging or humiliating punishment
and prohibits the application of
moral pressure or physical viol-
ence in the course of police inter-
rogation. Freedom of speech and
opinion is guaranteed. Censorship
is unlawful, except in time of war
or national emergency.
"Whatever draft is finally adopt
ed by our Constituent Assembly
the Constitution of the Israeli state
will undoubtedly be based on
principles of democracy, of fullest
freedom for the individual and of
equality before law, with demo-
cratically-elected governing bodies
and no discrimination between
citizens" Epstein said.

News Is Expanded
Into a Bi-Weekly

The Phoenix wish
News, founded in Sept,
1947, as the official publica-
ton of the Jewish commun-
ity of Phoenix, steps out of
it's swaddling clothes this
week and emerges as a
full-fledged member of the
nations Anglo-Jewish press.
The new style masthead, which
probably has already caught your
eye, is in a sense a symbol of the
new era on which The News is
embarking with this issue.
The Phoenix Jewish Community
Council, which established the
newspaper last year, voted recent
ly to permit M. B. Goldman, Jr.,
and Joseph S. Stocker, both of
Phoenix, to take over full publica-
ton responsibility. Henceforth
they will publish the paper on
private enterprise basis with both
news and advertising.
Quicker Expansion
1t was in order to bring about
speedier expansion of The News
than would have been otherwise
possible that the Council approved
the proposal of Goldman and
Stocker to take over operation of
the paper.
The paper will publish Friday
of every other week. Heretofore it
has been monthly. The publish
ers hope to step up to weekly pub
lication in the near future.
The News will continue to serve
as the official medium of the Jew
ish Community Council. AS in the
past, it will be sent to all Jewish
families listed with the Council.
The latter group agreed to pay
the publishers 81 for each sub
scription, the total of which is ap-
proximately the sum heretofore
spent to publish a four-page
monthly on non-commercial
basis.
The New Look
Besides its new management
and new masthead, Phoenix only
Anglo-Jewish newspaper has a
"new look" in several other re-
spects:
For the first time since its in
ception, the columns of The News
have been opened to advertising,
by both Jewish and non-Jewish
firms. This is the means by which
the paper is being expanded in
both size and frequency, to render
service comparable to that which
is being given by Anglo-Jewish
papers in all the country's major
cities.
Commencing with this issue, the
dispatches of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency will be featured
regularly along with local Jewish
news. JTA is the finest of several
Jewish news services, supplying

The recommendation to bar Spin
