5000 Arrested i.
In Hungary
Despite Amnesty

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 6 (AP).--A human-rights
organization said last night it
had given United Nations Sec
rotary General Dag Hammar-
skiold documentary evidence
that Hungarian refugees have
been prosecuted after return
ing to Hungary under amnesty.
The International League for
the Rights of Man, with head
quarters in New York City, said
it got its information from the
Hungarian National Revolu-
tionary Committee in exile in
Paris. The league has con-
sultant status with the u. N.
Roger Baldwin, chairman of
the league. said one sworn
statement set out that a 1857
refugee named LEM Istvan
was convicted of spying and
sentenced to death after he
went back to Hungary in mid
1858 with an amnesty letter
written by the Hungarian Le-
cation in West Germany.
Mr.. Baldwin said a special
document prepared by the
Hungarian committee claimed
that 5000 persons who fled
Hungary after the short-lived
1855 revolution had been ar
rested after returning home
with amnesty letters "promis-
ing them complete forgiveness"

Mr.. LEIGH noted that at

difficult to understand and for
more and more descriptions to

He added, This tendency re-
suits in waste of time and eff

A Challenge To The Council

The Arizona Post would like to point
out that Tucson JeWry, not only Tucson
Zionists, supported and attended the IS
raeli 11th anniversary celebration Satur-
day. Jews throughout the world, religious
or non-religious, take great pride in the
great achievements of Israel.
Mr. Prudential says he and many
other non-Zionistic American Jews have
no interest in Israel. That small circle
may not have an interest in Israel, but
the American government is vitality inter
ested in Israel - the one great baStlon
of Democracy in the Middle East where
Communism fights to gain toehold.
The American Council for Judaism says
it has no interest in Israel. We would
like to ask the Council where its interests
really are besides finding time to write
destructive letters to daily newspapers.
We challenge the American Council for
Judaism to point out a single worthy prof.
ect it maintains in the city of Tucson. We
dare the American Council for Judaism
to climb from behind its self-protectlVe
shield and join in constructive commu-
nifty enterprise.

structive program to stem the tide of

he was in the beginning of new era
in Jewish history!
EDWARD G. ROBINSON told the Tel
Aviv reporter that, as young man, he
debated long whether he should become
a rabbi or a lawyer ended up as an
actor.
Those of us whose memories have some
reach backwards can visualize the OIL
lemma which confronted young Ed Robin
son. A few decades back, what could a
young Jew do? Either he went into bust
ness. or he became lawyer or a doctor.
Of course, you might become rabbi.
1t was a very honored calling. But not
too many were attracted to it. However,
it did possess one significant attraction.
If YOU went to theological school, you
could get a stipened; to have this finan-
cial assistance was no small matter.
1 recall Rabbi Stephen S. Wise once
telling me the story of young man who
became rabbi.
HIS FATHER" said Rabbi Wise, FUSED
to come and lament to my father that he
didn't know what to do about his son.
He had no money to send him to college,
and he didn't think his son had any gifts
for business.
"Mv father said to him: Send Joey to
the theological school. He will get free
tuition, and they will give him a stipend
TO take care of his living expenses'!'
"And that" said Rabbi Wise, "is the
story of the beginning of the career OF
Joseph H. Hertz, the Chief Rabbi of the
British Empire.

QUESTION:: What is the "Peshitta?"

QUESTION: What is the ''Peshtta?"
ANSWER: The "Peshitta" is the name of the
Syrac translation of the Bible. Scholars do not
agree the meaning of the name 'Peshta." Soma
contend that it means simple implying that the
translation simpfes the text. Others contend that
it means common making it the common transla-
ton in Syriac. The origin of this translation is not
clear Some assume that it was completed in the
first Century of the Common Era by Jews from the
Eastern Syrac regions for the use of the Kingdom
and had been introduced into the royal house.

Missing In
Birobidion

NEW YORK (JTA) - The
most striking aspect of Bro
bidjan, the so-called autOnom-
Gus Jewish Republic in ST.
IBERIA, to a New York Times
reporter who toured it re-
Gently, was the absence of
young Jews.
Max Frankel, one of the few
western correspondents ever
to visit Birobidjan, reported
this week that gefulte fish
with horse radiSh and cheese
blintZeS with sour cream were
at h e pleasantest memories
and realities" of his visit "to
that much-publicized, little
known colony" w h i ch he
called "the object of pride in
Moscow and concern abroad"
THE CORRESPONDENT,
reviewing the history of the
area, said it was organized
in 1884, with much fanfare,
as a home for Jews, "an emp
ty plot on which Jews were
to pioneer and exert their tai
entS without getting mixed up
with Zionism." But no mass
migration of Soviet Jews to
Birobidjan developed and the
population now is 100000,
perhaps half Jewish, two
thirds urban"
Frankel noted Soviet Gov
ernment denialS of rumorS
that it intended to send more
Jews to Birobidjan and add
ed "there is no evidence of
such plans in Birobidjan. On
the contrary"
AS FAR AS cultural life
was concerned, Frankel re-
ported that mo Yiddish is
taught in schools, no Yiddish
films are shown, no Yiddish
books are printed. A we'll
stocked bookstore had not
heard of a commemorative
Yiddis h edition of some
works of Sholem Aleichem,
published in Mos scoW this
year.
He said that a tWo-page
Yiddish newspaper is pub
lished three times a week and
Soviet reference books list its
circulation as 1000. Two
neWstands had a few copies;
a third newsstand near a pub
licly posted copy of the news
paper, had not heard of it.
THE CORRESPONDENT
said mo young ter ever

serves as a synagogue. Fri
day nights and Saturdays, on
the Jewish Sabbath, Cantor
Caplan - there is no rabbi -
leads prayers for 80 persons,
more women than men. Last
