volved in making Israelis of them
all. Must the OrientalS be west
ernized, or can something of value
from their much older civilization
be mixed with the Western way
to create a new blend? Can the
best of each be preserved to build
the bridge so sorely needed be-
tween East and West? I think
Israel is showing the world the
way, and this book gives us the
demographic information to show
us how it is being done.
l pass over the fields of history,
Judaic studies, and biography. al
though must mention one in the
latter field, David Daiches's, 1.-TWO

ish life in Edinburgh, Scotland,
which has received good reviews
in the general press. The author
is professor at Cambridge Uni
versity.

ing to ignore Marjorie Morning
Star" The fact that it sold to the
movies for nearly 81 100000 does
not increase its interest. 1.-THE
Last Temptation, by Joseph Vier-
tel, received fair acceptance by
the public, novel of Israel's war
for independence with moderate
ly good love story.
1 recommend for your reading
pleasure, "The Strong Hand" by
Michael Blankfort - good love
story and a tale of the modern
conflict between East and West.
Two novels on Oriental Jews have
received fine reviews, particularly
pillar of Salt" by Albert Memmi,
written by a North African Jew
about his people and their life.
RECENTLY translated from the
Hebrew is "Mori Said" by Hayim
Hazaz, one of Israels foremost
authors. 1t is novel Of Yemenite
life. l am not going to enter the
controversy over Sholom Asche-
l like his writing, and intend to
read "The Prophet" which deals
with the second Isaiah. Congress
Weekly panned this one severely,
but reviews generally have liked
it. Another'o on my "books to read"
list is by old faithful Lion Feucht-
wanger, Rachel, Jewess of Tole-
do," a story of the Jewess who
was mistress to the ruling mon
arch of Spain.
There is truly sizable list of
good books in this field, and al
though / have skinned over t h
top, it is my hope that you are
going to find an area of interest
and read Jewish books in that ar
ea-the more readers, the better
books we can look for.

By BERTHA GOLDMAN

The American reading public
has been treated during the last
year or so to an increasing num-
Der of books of Jewish interest or
on Jewish themes, and while my
enthusiasm does not spread evenly
over all, I want to share some
of the interest I've found in my
reading, or in just reading book
reviews, one of my favorite pas
times.
The exciting but controversial
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls
brings into sharp focus the history
of Palestine during pre- Christian
times. I enjoyed Edmund Wilson's
small volume, "The Scrolls from
the Dead Sea-" reprint of his arti-
Gle in the New Yorker magazine.
At present 1 am reading the pocket
edition, 1.-THE Meaning of the Dead
Sea Scrolls" by the Rev. A. Pow
ell Davis, just off the press. He
has attempted to evaluate all the
evidence offered by scholars thus
far, and 1 am learning a great
deal of history in the process
in fact, I've finally bought Jose
phus' WAR of the Jews" the in
comparable record of the fall of
Jerusalem to the Romans, and the
times in which it happened.
THE TWO OTHER major books
on the scrolls are by Millar Bur-
rows and A Dupont Somners,
both involved with the early pur-
chase and disposal of the scrolls,
while DR.. Solomon zeitlin, editor
of the Jewish Quarterly Review,
presents the major arguments on
the side opposing their authentici-
ty.
For the serious student of the
Middle East and the current prob

lens that keep it in the news,
there are three muSts:
"Jews and Arabs, Their Contact
Through The Ages" by S. D. Col
tein, director of the Hebrew Uni
versity School of Oriental Studies.
In a very readable style traces
Arab-Jewish relations over tn e
past 5000 years, touching on many
aspects of religion, law, art, So
ciology, philosophy, and econom-
les.
THOSE WHO have read 1.-THE
Middle East, Oil, and the Great
Powers" by Benjamin Schwadran,
say it is packed with eye-popping
figures on the politics of oil, and
Congress Weekly" has praised
the work as dynamic k
ground analysis which is indispen-
sable. DR.. Schwadran is the edi-
tor of the Middle East Review"
and an eminent figure in the study
of the lands which constitute this
area.
DR.. Joseph B. Schectman is also
a specialist on Middle East affairs
and his book "The Arab Refugee
Problem" was given attention in
Debbie Metz's column of the April
13 issue, a valuable book which
tells the world the truth about the
distorted stories now in such wide
circulation regarding the Arab re-
fugees from Palestine.
L HAVE FOUND never ending
pleasure and information in "Is-
rael Between East and West" by
Raphael Patai, a fascinating study
of the welding of immigrant Jews
from European and other Western
areas, with Jews from Oriental
countries. 1t follows the early pat
terms of the sociological factors in

'ProIonging
Crisis'Luid
To Russians

A former, Iranian diplomat has
warned that Arab rulers and the
Communists are deliberately seek
ing to "prolong the Middle East
crisis"
DR.. Nasrollah s. Fatemi, former
UN delegate from Iran and men,
Der of the Iranian Parliament,
told a Joint Defense Appeal meet
ing at New York City, that the
ruling classes of the Arab coun-
tries are using the Israel question
as the only common rallying issue
which keeps their otherwise divid-
ed countries united"
THE MOSLEM statesman
warned that "even if We eliminate
the state of Israel, the problem of
the area will still be with us.
Caught in the crossfire of local
interests, national issues, and in
ternational pressureS, the ruling
classes of the area throb with
pulsing determination to use Israel
as a scapegoat and to fan t h
flames of hatred between the Mos
lens and the Jews"
The Joint Defense Appeal din
ner launched the jewelry indus
try's drive to help IDA raise a
record $5,6OO,O00 on behalf of its
agencies, the American Jewish
Committee and the Anti-Defama-
ton League of B'nai Birth.
ASSERTING that the "a r b
rulers are afraid of the moral and
material influence of the State OF
Israel and do not want prosper
Gus democratic state as their
neighbor," DR.. Fatemi declared:
1.-THE enemy of the area is not
Israel. The real enemy is poverty
and corruption, which right now
is playing into the hands OF the
Communists and is pushing t h
Arab countries into the bosom of
the Russian bear.
DIR. FATENH proposed five
point plan to end the UN's "vision-
ary and theoretical approach" to
the Middle East crisis. Highlights
of his plan, which would be con-
Quoted under UN auspices, include
a Security Council guarantee of
the present Israel borders, pend
ing a peace treaty; Israeli rehabil-
itation or compensation of refugees
who lost property in Israel; de-
velopment of the Jordan River Au-
thority as proposed by Eric john
ston. President Eisenhower'S re-
preventative in the area; encour-
agement of peaceful and friendly
relations" among the Middle East
peoples; and the writing of an
Arab-Israel peace treaty w hich
would establish Israel's boundar-

armistice lines"

"A leading Greek Cypriot
spokesman today rejected Brit

tions on self-government for thel
violence-ridden island colony.
He said the British will have to-
talk with exiled Archbishop

Themistocles Dervis, Mayor of
