The Southern Jewish weekly., 1956-09-07

To all my Jewish friends, I ex-
tend my fervent wish for a good
New Year.
This Season is a good time for
examining the past year so that
the coming year, 5717 in the He
brew calendar, will be more in
accord with Gods goals.
Once again, every thoughtful
Jewish person gives careful atten-
ton to the meaning of the Peni-
tential Season, set aside for intro
spection and spiritual renewal.
All mankind shares with those
of the Jewish faith the belief that
the timeless objectives of righte-
business, justice and loving kind
ness are indestructible truths of
God and will yet be achieved in
full by man.
RoSh HaShonah, the Jewish
New Year, not only points up the
great hopes of the Jewish faith,
but it also speaks to each individ-
ual of his own life, reminding him
he alone is responsible for the
manner in which he uses the days
which God has allotted him. This
is the essence of that magnificent
conception of individual freedom
of choice and action.
May you be encouraged by the
stirring challenge of this Season.
May it's message renew optimism
and lead each one to make the
fullest of the opportunity it offers
for building noble lives.
Sincerely,
Leroy Collins
Governor

In Morocco, where Colonel Mas
ser's employees have done their
most startling work, it has been
announced that all institutions
dealing with Jewish immigration
to Israel are to be dissolved at

the specific anti-Semitic standings
which will probably deepen dan
gerously in the next few months.
LibYa. TOO. has begun to feel the
pressures from Cairo. A strained
request was made to unidentified
foreign powers that they keep
their hands off LibYan affairs. No
one except Nasser has attempted
to tamper. but it is to be doubted
that he will heed this feeble at
tempt at self-protection from the
LibYans.

about Nasser's combined cam
paign of bribery and blackmail
calculated to lure Somali youth
toward Arab culture and eventu-
ally the Arab League. Examples
cited accuse Egyptian teachers to
prevent Somaliland from forming
close ties with other nations.
This is all part and parcel of
the master-plan to create a Pan

Red China
 Grants Visas To US. Newsmen

HONG KONG, R-Communist China today granted entry per- mits to five American newsmen. The action ended a seven-year ban on US. correspondents.
 Peiping cabled the five Ameri- cans that they could pick up visas good for one month at the Red China embassy in Moscow or at Sumchon, across the border from Hong Kong.
 The newsmen are John Roder- ick of the Associated Press, Cor don Walker of the Christian Sci ence Monitor, Robert Martin of US. News and World Report, James Robinson of the National Broadcasting Co.,, and Robert Chusman of McGraw-Hill Pub fishing Co.
 No American correspondents have been permitted in China since the l949 conquest by the Communists. The Red regime has permitted extensive visits by cor respondents from most other countries.
 Correspondents believed the re- laxing of Peiping's ban was con- nected with the meeting in Pei ping Sept. 15 of the eighth con- gress of the Chinese Communist Party. The Reds say the congress will be an important meeting.
