ported that France would not
recognize the move and pointed
out that as long as three months
ago. the French Government had
indicated that it would not recog-
nize such decision. which it con-
siders contrary to the United Ma
lions proclamation of Jerusalem's
international character. Frances
role in the Near East and its de-
sire to maintain good relations
with Syria and Lebanon are con-
sidered a reason for its stand.
On the other hand, several for
eign missions acknowledged re-
ceipt of the ministry's notifica-
ton. The Greek envoy was the
first foreign envoy to visit the
new headquarters of the ministry
in Jerusalem, and the Netherlands
envoy was expected to pay a for
NAL visit. It was also indicated
that Yugoslavia would move her
legation from Tel Aviv to Jeru-
salem on the minister's return
from Belgrade.
Arab States Protest in U. N.
Meanwhile, the six Arab states
made their anticipated protest to
the United Nations against the
Israel move. In "the strongest
protest" against the Israel action,
lodged with U. N. Secretary Cen
eral Dag Hammarskjold, they de-
nounced the move as violation
of U. N. resolutions on interna-
tionalization of Jerusalem, as an
irresponsible and unjustified"
move and as a fresh blow" to
peace in the Middle East already
lettering under the impact of Is
rael aggression.
They asked that their protest be
circulated to all member nations
of the U. N. and to the Palestine
Cancellation Commission.
The influential London Eco
nomist, in an editorial this week
on the Israeli move, commented
that "by tacit consent of the
Powers, the idea of an interna-
tional Jerusalem is therefore a
dead letter" 1t suggested that
''more third parties start bridging
the gap" between the two sets of
Jerusalemites separated by the
barbed wire between Israeli and
Jordanian Jerusalem.

PLAIN TALK

long and where even angels
would fear to tread. They are
getting us all in bad"
He means the several rabbinical
organizations that in strong Ian
guage have reaffirmed the rights
of Americans to liberty of thought
and speech and to read whatever
they please.
They are on dangerous ground.
considering the climate of these
times" he goes on to say. What
right have they to speak publicly
for me and you as they do when
as an organization they pass reso-
lutions. The Chicago Tribune has
said that they did a disservice to
the Jewish people in coming out
on this public matter as they did.
That's the way feel. The rabbis
are embarrassing us as Jews. I am
not saying that they are not right
but are they expedient. since pre-
JUDGE always is seeking out Jews
to put them on the spot. Are they
serving us well in their true rab-
binical function?
"Come on along, Segal, and
stand up for us all against this
disservice of the rabbis."
But Segal can't go along with
the Chicagoan either as American
or Jew. This Chicagoan will have
to depend on the Tribune for
comfort. For Segal himself is most
thankful to these rabbis who. in
an hour when many men are
afraid of their own voices. speak
up courageouslY as Jews and
Americans. AS Americans they
know that the Declaration of In
dependence and its principles are
not just topics for speeches on the
Fourth Of July. AS Jews they have
Biblical and historic cause for
emulation: The children of Israel
setting themselves free from the
Pharaohs: the Macabbees fight
ing unto victory for the freedom
TO worship their own God.
The Chicagoan says further:
''Why should we Jews voluntarily
take on more troubles when we
already have to carry so many
that are forced on us: Can't we
learn our lesson never to stick
our necks out unless we just have
to. Let others who can afford it
better stick their necks out. Our
place is in the Swallowed area
where no enemies can discover
us. Well just mind our own bust
ness and they won't see us. These
rabbis didn't mind our own bust
ness and what happens? The Chi
cago Tribune gets after us and in
this press I get pointed out as a
Jew in my own native town, be-
cause of these rabbis."
I answer him: LET'S say thanks
to the rabbis for sticking our
necks out for us. Stuck-out necks
belong wherever there is need Tor
decent men TO cry out against
political and social wrongs re-
gardless of what that may cost us
in the opinion of individuals who
don't like us anyway. That's our
function as Jews who profess the

Conference On
tuberculosis
Control Set
For March 9TH
Session To Be Held In
Social Hall OF Dover
High School Is Called
By Governor j. Caleb
BOggs.

Governor J. Caleb Boggs is call
ing a Conference on tuberculosis
Control for Saturday, March z,
1858, beginning at 800 A. NJ, in
the Social Hall of the Dover High
School for the purpose of discuss
ing a proposed State wide mass
chest X-ray survey for everyone in
the State Is years of age or over.
The Delaware Medical Society,
Delaware Anti-TuberculOsis SOcie-
ty, Wilmington City Board of
Health, State Board of Health and
the Welfare Council of Delaware
have taken the initial leadership in
torder to get preliminary plans un-
derway. However, the success of
such an intensified X-ray program
in Delaware will depend on the en-
dOrsement and participation of all
organized groups and interested in
dividuals. The Governor urges all
those interested in the problem Of
tuberculosis in Delaware to attend
the conference.
This type statewide mass chest
X-ray survey for tuberculosis con-
troll will be supported by the U. S.
Public Health Service through the
loan of physicians, technicians and
consultant personnel in nursing,
medical social work, and health
education. In addition the U. S.
Public Health Service will provide
Is mobile chest X-ray units for
use anywhere in the state during
the period of the actual X-ray pro-
gram.
The chief objective of a state
wide mass chest X-ray survey is to
find all unknown cases of Tuber-
culOsis. Other chest abnOrmalities
including tumors, lung cancer, and
cardiO-vascular conditions can be
shown by X-ray. The information
obtained will serve as a valuable
guide for further developing our
tuberculosis control program.
1t has been found that the best
single method of finding early tu-
berculosis is through the chest X
ray. tuberculosis is a cOmmunica-
BILE disease and is spread to others
by people who actually have it.
Tuberculosis itself is not inherited.
Like many other chronic diseases
a person may have tuberculosis
and not know it because in its early
stages the disease gives no specific
warning symptoms.
tuberculosis can be cured. The
earlier the disease is found the
easier it is to cure, hence, the i'm
portance of finding our unknown
cases. 1t is also important to un-
derstand that tuberculosis infeCts
people in all walks of life.
This statewide mass chest X
ray survey calls for leadership and
participation by the people of Del
aware. An organization will be
needed to conduct the program.
There will be the need for adequate
headquarters space for carrying on
the operations of the survey.
