a "bastion of democracy.
Protesting the arms decision.
Louis LipskY. chairman of the
American Zionist Committee for
Public Affairs. spok e for most
American Jews. LipskY said:
"Iraq has been the most belliger-
ent member of the Arab League
in the continuing war against Is
rael. It has refused even to enter
into an arnistice agreement with
Israel. To arm Iraq at time
when Arab-Israel tension has
been mounting. and without a
firm commitment to make peace
with Israel. is to fortifY and en-
holden Arab intransigence and
risk renewal Of open hostilities."
A defense of Iraq was also made
in connection with facts regarding
Iraqi persecution of Jews. Nor
ton said: GAS far as it is possible
to know, there are no Jews in
concentration camps in 1raq."
Frequent mention has been made
in the Iraqi press and radio Of
the sentencing of Jews to prisons
and concentration camps. The
newspaper "Al Shaab," for in
stance, told of how long sentences
were imposed on Jews for "cor-
responding with relatives in Pal
estine and sympathizing with
Zionism." A few months ago,
Iraqi police actually seized Jew
ish passengers off a British pas
senger plane which made a forced
landing in Baghdad.
Jewish organizations have fur
nished the State Department with
lengthy documented reports on
Nazi-like activities in Iraq. Copies
are on file in the Near Eastern
Division which could have pro-
vided with ample Recommendation
for anyone really interested in
the truth about Iraq. The Inateri-
al was submitted by the American
Jewish Committee. B'nai Birth

Labor Committee. Jewish War

Department chose TO accept the

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
coLuMN1sT coNFEssEs

I come to a penitent moment:
Rosh Hashcnah and Yom Kippur.
too. are at hand and what did !
do with the year just passed? I
say 10 myself. You. Segal. were
privileged to live another year of
your rather long life. and what's
to show for. it? Maybe you have a
few more gray hairs and there are
a few dollars you may have put
aside. You'll be in schul on these
holy days and in the silent medi-
tations of your heart what are you
going to say to God about your
self. That is. what will you say to
Him besides the words you read
out Of the prayer book. by rote.
The question falls rather heavy
on the conscience. It's easy
enough to read to God out Of the
book; and how many billions of
times has He heard that same
recitation? AS the bookkeeper of
my own life what accounting can
I make for myself? What sins
have I to count up? What, if any,
good has there been in me? Rosh
Hashonah is a day that puts a
man on the spot, as the saying is.
That's one of the facts of Jew
ish life that makes il so hard TO
be Jew. When people celebrate
the new year Of the common cal
endar they have a good time at
il: they sit around the hotels and
drink Il up toward happy forget
fitness Of the past year. But
Jew. on his own special new year.
is expected to look deep into him
self and discover every fault and
feel sorry and resolve to do better
next time.
So, as I seat myself before my
typewriter to write a RoSh Hash
onah column, I get admonitions
that tell me this is the best chance
to speak up publicly on all my
faults and good works of the past
year. This is rather hard on a col
umnist; the faults he has found
always have been on other people.
His public gets the impression
that the columnist himself is
without sin and, therefore, most
qualified to point scornfully at
others.
To help me along in the ac-
counting Of myself. my conscience
hands me a QUESTIONABLE. you
might say. by which. sin by sin.
virtue by virtue. can add Il all
up.
81. OF first importance in a !
mans way is how he gets along
with the kinsmen in his own
house? Were you gentle with your
wife? Did you permit small causes
to drag you into big fights with
her.
',2. And how did you behave
toward others of your fellowmen?
Did you spread secondhand gos-
sip? Did you condemn people on
hearsaY? Were you just in judy
ment? Did you Try TO make a fast
dollar with a hand that was
quicker than the other mans
eyer"
At this I interrupt my con-
science whats the idea? You
aren't asking me anything about
being Jewish; such as how much
money give to Jewish agencies,

Jews PIaved Top Roles in H-Bomb Dromo

they felt in all good conscience that
they had performed their duty to-
ward the future of the human race
upon this earth.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, of
the three men, only Admiral
Strauss, a banker by profession,
has been identified with the. Jew
ish community, has as matter of
fact been a leader in many Jewish
organizations, such as the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, Jewish
Theological Seminary, Joint Distri-
button Committee, Jewish Agricul-
ural Society, Union of American
Hebrew Congregations and Jewish
Agency for Palestine.
The others, Oppenheimer and Tel
Ter. have no records of affiliation
with the Jewish community though
they have never denied their Jew
ish origins. Oppenheimer was
shocked into Jewish consciousness
bv the Hitlerite alteration while
born-to-wealth Teller abandoned
Budapest for shelter as the Nazi
clouds were spreading over Europe.

Jews are in step with the new era.
BUT THE SPLITTING of the
atom by Jews also involved the
leading Jewish figures who were
responsible for atom fission in a
split among themselves = the con-
troversy over the H-bomb. While
DR.. Oppenheimer was opposed to
it's production on moral and poll
tical grounds, Dr.. Teller and Ad-
miral Strauss favored it on grounds
of military strategy.
Here, too, there may be Jewish
significance in the fact that DR..
Oppenheimer,. supported by Prof.
Einstein, became alarmed at the
fearful weapons which they them
selves had helped to create, began
to see the great moral implica-
tions and wanted to call a halt to
further development of weapons
that could wipe out civilization as
We know it.
1t may very well be that from
the point of view of present-day
American military strategy III the
"cold war" Oppenheimer is Sc
curity risk and should be denied
access to secret information re.
garding the hydrogen bomb. Yet
even the board that ruled against
him couldn't deny his sincere
idealism, his loyalty to what he re
garded as American and world in
terests, his frank avowal of former
sympathy with Communism and his
present reputation of it.

WHEN THE HISTORY of our

record may well show that the
great American debate of 1854 dld
not center around the Mccarthy
issue. though it stole the thunder,
but around the issue of the advisa-
bility of producing the hydogen
bomb.
This controversy transcribed all
others not alone because II IN
volved weapons holding the very
fate of man and his civilization,
but because it served to project
the moral issue amidst a climate
of tragic realism.

controversies around the hydrogen

Fraternity Quits
ToAccepfJeW

WILLIAMSTOWN, MI S.,
(JTA) = The Phi Delta Theta
fraternity chapter at Williams
College here has resigned from
the national fraternity because
it insisted on pledging a Jewish
member, despite a ban in the
national fraternity'S charter
which limits membership to
white students of "Aryan blood"
The issue arose in 1852 when
the local chapter pledged a Jew
ish student. The chapter was
suspended in 1853 and the re-
cent action is the first move
since then. The local group has
renamed itself the Order of Phi
Delta.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1954-09-30

Throughout the controversy the
public could see how deeply and
gravely DR.. Oppenheimer, like
Prof. Einstein, was worried over
the fearful possibilities of destruct-
ion that atomic and hydrogen war
fare had brought to our present
day world and how anxious both
were to do something to avert that
destruction, whether or not one
agreed with the methods they pro-
posed.
PERHAPS 1T WAS the old Jew
ish respect for life and aversion to
killing, the pacifism of the ancient
Hebrew Prophets, that was aroused
in DR.. Oppenheimer, a man who
was never conscious of his Jew
ishness until the Hitler era and
the Nazi maSSacreS made him a.
ware of it, as well as in the more
Jewish Albert Einstein. This may
be so. even though the two other
Jews who played major roles in
the controversy over the H-bomb
Strauss and Teller, did not share
their views.
The destructive possibilities Of
the Frankenstein which they them
selves had helped to create aroused
Oppenheimer as well as Einstein
And so the moral implications
of the atomic and hydrogen bombs
have been brought to the attention
of the American and world public
by these Jewish scientists. Thus

have nothing of particular jewish
Significance, even though three OF
the leading characters in the dis
pute - DR.. Robert Oppenhelmer,
Rear-Admiral Lewis Strauss and
DR.. Edward Teller - are of jew
ish origin. Yet if one looks deeper
one can find Jewish significance
in this affair in which America and
the whole world are so vitality in
volved.
1T WAS THE Jew Albert Elm
stein, the worlds most famous
scientist. who developed the for
mula for the atomic bomb during
World War II. 1t was the Jew j..
Robert Oppenheimer who led in the
production of the atomic bomb at
| Los Alamos. It was the Jew Lewis
Strauss who later became head OF
the Government Atomic Energy
Commission. And it was the Jew
Edward TeHer who led in the de-
velopment of the hydrogen bomb.
Though Jews are a very old
people, it is mark of our vitality
that we occupy such leading posi-
tions in this atomic age, an age
which is fraught with so much dan
ger to human civilization, but which
may also produce great benefits
for humanity if atomic energy is
