have to come from Syna-
gogues in the Soviet Union.
The delegation was made
UP of B'nai Birth leaders led
by Label A. Katz, B'nai Birth
president. They met separate
ly with Alexander N. Kutz-
netsov, First Deputy Minis
ter of Culture, and V. Riasa-
nov, deputy chairman of the
Council for Affairs of Relig-
ious Cults.
The delegation urged that
Soviet Jews be present at
a forthcoming international
conference on Jewish educa-
ton, and other future non
political gatherings on Jew
ish affairs, and that "as an
act of friendship" the B'nai
Birth wanted to send to Rus
sian synagogues a gift of
such religious articles as Old
Testament prayer books and
prayer shawls which are in
short supply in Russia.
Mr.. Katz reported that the
delegation'S observations on
the lack of Jewish inStitu-
tions in the USSR did not
correspond with what the
delegation was told by Rus
sian officials - that Soviet
Jews simply were not inter
eSted.
The B'nai Birth leader as
serted that Jewish cultural
interests would flourish in
the USSR if they were sac
corded the same encourage
ment shown other Soviet eth
mic groups. In our brief but
intensive contacts, we found
a persistent streak of Jewish
consciousness, even among
young Jews. But they are
without almost any cultural
means to express it.
He said his delegation had
the chance to discuss "this
apparent contradiction" in

and more ethnic groups dur

with Kutznetsov, one of the
Soviet officials "who attrib-
uted the almost total absence
of Jewish-content newspa-
pers and periodicals, either
in Yiddish or the Russian
language, and of Jewish ed
ucational facilities, or even
secular school courses IN
Yiddish or Hebrew, to a disin-
terest among Jews them
selves"
In Budapest, the B'nai b.
rith group met with Karoly
Oit, chairman of Hungary's
Bureau of Religious Affairs,
and with secular and relig-
ious leaders of the Hungarl-
an Jewish community. Mr..
KatZ said that the visits to
the USSR and Hungary were
conducted on an unofficial
basis" that the requests for
conferences with govern
ment officials were granted
"on short notice." and that
the B'nai Birth group was
received with cordiality and
interest.

Demos Call on COP to CoOl-Off on Political Attacks

WASHINGTON LR - Demo- cratic leaders called today for a cooling-off period in Republican political attacks until President Kennedy has talked with Soviet Premier Khrushchev in Vienna.
 Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield urged a truce to sus- pend at least temporarily the kind of foreign policy blasts at the President with which the COP kept the political battle rever- brating over the weekend
 'This is not the time, with the Khrushchev talks approaching, for anyone to become political or par tisan in the foreign policy field" :" Mansfield said. "Rather it is the time for all Americans to come to the aid and support of their President
 Sen. Hubert Humphrey, the as- sistant Democratic leader, said in a separate interview he recog- nizes the Republicans right to criticize foreign policy decisions. But he said he thinks the country would benefit by little more unity behind the President as he approaches the Vienna meeting.
 Republicans gave no sign, how ever, of any let-up in Wide-rang' ing criticism of Kennedy's foreigr and domestic policies in which they engaged over the weekend.
 Sen. Everett Dirksen, Senate Republican Leader, told Repub lican meeting Sunday in Chicago that he believes Kennedy could blunder the nation into war witt the Soviet Union.

 Mayburg said Panama is cen trally located, has favorable weather conditions and lies in an area which has outstanding agri- cultural possibilities. He also said Panama has Public Heolth Service native hospital facilities available.

Dynanitings Knock Out Relay Stations

SALT LAKE CITY tR - In vestigators today expanded their manhunt as the tense West re- faxed bit in the wake of three dynamitings that knocked out telephone microwave and cable relay stations.
 The dawn blasts yesterday at unattended and isolated sites in eastern Nevada and western Utah produced a rash of war nerves across the nation
 Worried citizens plagued news and police switchboards with re- ports all false that dams had been knocked out; that aerial bombings had occurred across the country; that Americas com munications system was des- troyed.
 But the question of whether the dynamiting were the work of saboteurs, vandals or someone bent on mad revenge mattered not to hordes of FBI agents, po- lice and military authorities hunt ing those responsible.
 The blasts all along U. s. High way 4050A, shattered two micro wave relay towers near Wend- over, New, and Cedar Mountain in West-Central Utah and an ann plification station for cable phone lines near Knolls, Utah. The blasts occurred between 4:55 and 6:45 a. m. The stations are part of American Telephone and Tele- graphs nationwide system.
 National Guard troops with arms were called out in Idaho, Nevada, Colorado and other states to search for bombs and to guard similar relay stations. Some of the guardsmen were relieved later by civilians.
 F'BI agents pouring to the area had nothing to say about the aims or methods of their investigation. They sifted through debris at the blast sites. Dynamite wrapped in military olive drab material was found at one station.
 Mountain States T & T moved in mobile equipment to fill the gap in the microWave system. Damage was estimated at $850,000

Witness Testifies Eichmann Offered Jews for Trucks

JERUSALEM R A little red-haired Jew, Joel Brand, slap ping the witness stand and imi- tating a Nazi officers shrill com mand, testified today Adolf Eich- man offered him the lives of a million Jews for 10000 trucks in 1914.
 Brand, leader of the Budapest Jewish community, was sent out of Nazi-occupied Hungary to ne- gotiate the deal. It never came off.
 Eichmann, charged with ad- ministering the slaughter of mil lions of Jews in Nazi-overrun Europe, made the offer as though it were his own at first, Brand said. Later Eichmann told him he had to go to Berlin for full au- thority and this presumably came from his chief, Heinrich Himmler.

Nation Will Honor
 Its Dead of All
 Wars on Tuesday
By The Associated Press

The nation will honor it's dead of all wars Tuesday.
 The Memorial Day ceremonies from region to region, will be a oneness of prideful gratitude to those who gave their lives for the ideals prayerfully endowed with permanancy in 1776.
 In the Arlington, Va, National Cemetary, troops of the 1st Battle Group, 3rd Infantry, will place American flags on all 109,000 of the graves.
 The President said he considered Memorial Day almost religious holiday in it's dedication to the sacrifices of the men and women who have served in the armed forces.
 In Hawaii, traditional services will be held above the sunken battleship Arizona which was sent down with hundreds of it's men still inside in the Japanese at tack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
 At the outdoor Cathedral of Pines in Ridge, N. J., Wreaths from President Kennedy and floral tri- butes from all 50 governors and heads of various civic organiza- tions across the country will be placed on the Altar of the Nation.
 The Altar was designated by Congress as a national memorial to all American war dead since colonial times, including both sides in the Civil War.
 The Memorial Day ceremonies as known today are generally be- lieved to have had their begin ming at Columbus, Miss.
 There, in April 1863, a small group of southern women scatter ed spring flowers on the graves of southern soldiers who had died in the battle of Shiloh, just across the border in Tennessee.
 One of them found two Union graves among the southern dead The women placed flowers or these graves, too-a simple act transcending wartime bitterness that lived to become a nationa tradition.

NATIONS HIGHWAY DEATH TOLL
 CLIMBS STEADILY

The highway death toll held to a course today which could set a record for the nations ex- tended Memorial Day weekend.
 An ominous aspect was absence of the expected substantial mid holiday slump - between the deadly peaks at the opening and closing hours.
 By mid-morning today the fig ures showed traffic deaths were occurring at a rate of 4.3 an hour, This is the same average hourly rate maintained throughout 1860 when 39,200 traffic fatalities were counted for the year.
 The 38,200 total, however, em- braces deaths from injuries weeks and months after the date of the accident. T h e current count covers only deaths over the holi- day period.
 The homeward rush of millions from extended outings was ex- pected to step up the rate dra- matically Tuesday.
