arms sale to West Germany and the Wadi
Salib riots. Judging by editorials in most
papers and most Knesset speeches this
past summer, a majority of the public
strongly opposed the sale of Israeli arms
to West Germany.
Actually this issue split the opposition
parties anti-Mapai front and, what is more
important, the man in the street. even if
he was an opposition supporter, actually
approved the arms deal. This identified
him with Mapa.
The Wadi Salib riots were an even
more important factor. At the surface it
seemed that the riots dramatized the vi
olent resentment of the North African
immigrants against the ruling Mapai par
ty. Actually the riots primarily did other
things. They gave rise to several small
North African and oriental parties which
had no practical chance of capturing any
Knesset seats and merely reduced the
number of votes for the opposition parties
which tried to cash in on the anti-Mapai
sentiments of the dissatisfied clements
The riots also gave Mapai stalwarts
and functionaries a sense of real danger
The fruit of their party's decade-long rule
was threatened with violence The riots
unified Mapai'S ranks and gave them a
sense of real battle against visible enemy.
And what was probably most decisive was
the fact that the riots brought to Mapais
side many undecided elements among es-
tablished segmentS of the population.
Many of the latter planned to abstain
from voting but now felt vital interest
in supporting Mapai as a defense against
threats to their own positions.

Jewish Quiz Box


QUESTION: Why is it re-
quired to put on spe cial
clothes on the Sabbath?
ANSWER: The T a m u d
(Shabbat 113a) interprets the
fact that Isaiah asked of us
to "honor" the Sabbath lisa
iah 58:13) to mean that the
clothing one wears on week
days should not be the cloth
ing one wears on the Sabbath.
Just as one puts on special
clothing for an honored oc-
caSion or to meet a celebrated
guest, so should one put on
special clothes to greet the
Sabbath.

In this B'naI Birth has shown itself as
a movement which takes seriously the
work of reaching Jewish youth and pre-
pairing it for the challenges which this
generation of American Jews must face.
The objective of the B'nai Birth Is to
create an informed generation of young
Jews. aware of the essentials of Jewish
history, literature and all the rich mean
ing of Jewish experience. The B'nai Birth
leadership aims to have these essentials
assimilated by the Jewish youth, so that
the young generation can understand the
positive values which comprise and en-
noble the Jewish tradition.
The B'nai Birth youth program also
emphasizes community responsibility and
strives to train the young people to resist
the egocentric pressures which surround
them In this work the B'nai Birth lead
ers seek to create in young people syn
thesis of the best of the Jewish and the
American heritage Naturally, in imple-
menting it's program, the B'nai Birth is
confronted by many of the obstacles which
have consistently stymied all Jewish edu-
Gators.

Boris S1rolar:
Promote Youth Leadership

However, with every year the impact of
it's work grows stronger and stronger This
is due firstly, to the high priority which
the B'nai Birth gives to its youth activi-
ties, and secondly, to the energetic leader
ship of such men as Philip Klutznick and
Label A. Katz who themselves come from
the ranks of the organizations youth.
AS Jewish communal life is expanding
in many directions, the need to develop
Jewish leadership - especially young G
leadership - is becoming one of the major
problems of American JeWry. The coming
weeks WILL therefore, witness a number
of conferences on development of leader
ship for Jewish communities. One such
conference will be held in Rochester dur
ing the first week of December, which
will include the communities of Albany,
Buffalo, Syracuse and Toronto. Another
one will take place in Hartford in jan
uary, with the participation of a half
dozen other communities in the region.
Inter-city conferences on the subject of
leadership development have been held
recently in a number of other cities. An
outstanding one was the conference in
Baltimore in which representatives from
Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Bos-
ton took part A very interesting program
of selection of promising young leaders
was reported by Philadelphia. The process
is begun with the mailing of an interest
ed inventory" to about 200 young men
of potential leadership caliber. Based on
their responses, they are assigned as OBJ
servers to attend meetings of agencies
in which they have expressed interest. .
Only after attending a series of such
agency meetings is the observer placed
on an agency board or committee.

Israel Newsletter
Behind The Mopoi Triumph

JERUSALEM { BY Cable) - Evaluat-
ing the results of last weeks Israel elec-
tions, the most outstanding fact seems to
be that Mapai, for the first time, succeed
ed in coming within sight of an absolute
Knesset majority. Out of total of l2O
Knesset seats, Mapai and the affiliated
small Arab parties will have 50 seats.
To appreciate this achievement, one
must remember that Mapai competed with
% other lists, including several large
parties, whose only common denomina-
tor was their concentrated attacks on Ma
pai Moreover, the elections were held at
a time when Mapais good name seemed
at it's lowest ebb in public opinion.
What then happened on November
3, enabling Mapai to increase its Knesset
strength by 20 percent?
There were, naturally, some very fun
damental factors: One always likes to
blame everything-from high taxes to
bad weather-on the dominant party, Ma
pai Actually, the Israeli people today
are better off than ever before and since
the Sinai Campaign the country also en-
joys relative tranquility along the Arab
borders. When faced with an alternative at
the polls, most Israelis Qike most Brltons
a few weeks earlier) simply refused to
experiment with change.
Another fundamental factor was the
most thorough preparation and excellent
organization of Mapai prior to the cleo
ton.
But curiously enough, it now seems
that Mapais two big boosters were
events which originally were assumed to
be quite harmful to Mapai's chances: The

ROME, (JIA) - Inc queS-
ton whether the late Pope
Plus XII did all he could to
prevent the deportation of
Italian Jews by the NaziS
from Rome to annihilatiOn
camps has now been raised
here publicly-16 years after
the event-aS a result of two
books in which the NaZi bru-
talities against Jews in Rome
are discussed.
The books have been pub
lished in France recently and
are now distributed in Italy.
One is "The Vatican Against
Europe" by Edmond Paris,
known as a liberal Protestant
who has carried on a lengthy
opposition to Catholicism in
state education. The other is
"The Vatican in World War
IT., by Paul Duclos, French
writer. Both authors discuss
especially the mass deporta-
ton of October 16, 1943, when
1000 Jews in Rome were
taken out from their home
and sent to Nazi death camps.
They quote offic a | docu-
ments, which are considered
here as being of great histori-
cal importance.
One of these documents is
a letter written, on October
16, by the Austrian Bishop
Luigi Hudal to General Sta
hel, German Military Com
mander of Rome. The letter
stated: "In the interest of the
peaceful relations between
the Vatican and the German
Military Command, 1 ask you
to issue orders to stop i'm
mediately the arrest of Jews
both in Rome and in the sur
roundings. The good reputa-
ton of Germany abroad re-
quires it. Moreover, it is to be
feared that the Pope might
take an official stand against
these arrests"
On the following day, ac-
cording to the texts published
in the books, Gen. Stahel in
formed Msgr. Hudal that "I
have informed the Gestapo
and Himmler himself of your
letter. He ordered that, in
view of the special character
of Rome, the arres is (of
jews be suspended"
Eleven days later, however,
the Nazi Ambassador to the
Vatican, Won Weiszaecker,
wrote to his superiors in Ber-
lin-according to the publish
ed documents - t h a 'the
Pope, although pressed by all
sides, did not allow himself
to be dragged into any demon
stration of disapproval of the
deportation. He has done his
utmost in this delicate issue
in order not to compromise
his relations with the German
Government"
The periodical Israel, offic-
ial weekly publication of the
Union of Hebrew Jewish Com
munities, commenting on the
documents, said that as far
as the Jews of Rome were
concerned "and remaining
strictly within the limits of
tn e tragic episode which
struck the Jews of Rome, we
must confess that the docu-
mentation" in the Duclos
book confirms what we al
ready knew.
