Significant Choice

Another brilliant attorney of the Jewish faith the
fourth in hstory-Arthur Goldberg-has been appoint
ed to the United States Supreme Court The appoint
ment is deeply significant to American Jewry.
America has come far since 1916 when President
Wilson's appointment of Louis Brandeis to the court
evoked vicious opposition from bigbusineSs interests
Justice Brandes opinions ultimately formed the deo-
logical basis for much of the New Deal legislation IN
cuding banking regulation recognition of labors bar
gaining rights and Social Security.
One of Brandeis' intellectual disciples was Felix
Frankfurter named to the court in 1889 to succeed
another distinguished Jewish juris Benjamin Cardozo
Frankfurter once was described by the late dis
tinguished Federal Judge Learned Hand as the most
important single figure in whole judicial system.
His retirement and GoldbergS appointment come at
time when the Supreme Court is emerging a most
dynamic force in national life.
Goldberg the youngest of eight children of immi-
grant Russian Jews went to work delivery boy at
the age of r. He worked his way through school with
honors In World War II he worked in the Office OF
Strategic Services organizing anNazi European trans
portation workers behind enemy lines into vast in
telligence network.
At the age of 54 Goldberg has been described as
the m ost effective member of President Kennedys
cabinet. The Presidents willingness to sacrifice him
from his cabinet post for higher service above the realm
of politics. is in the Roosevelt tradition and suggests the
depth and vision of the Presidents thinking.

Poverty Bellies Propaganda

Continued from Page -
Egyptian government as our Ari-
zona State University group ar
rived.
The government of NaSSer spends
a tremendous amount of money in
propaganda, and so upon our ar
rival we had a special session with
DR.. Kuragi, minister of education.
He and his four assistants gave us
a special reception and long prop
aganda talk on the great changes
which the revolutionary govern
ment had brought to the country.
He told us that 78 per cent of all
the children in Egypt were now in
school, and that by 1870 they hoped
to erase illiteracy. Their plan was
to build a new school every other
day and to carry out an intensive
program of education.
WHEN, HOWEVER, we came to
see the country and the villages
there was always the question::
Where are the schools, and where
is the program? They were not to
be found; the squalor, filth and
disease that we saw in Egypt is
unbelievable and beyond deScrip-
ton. The poverty and the standard
of the peasants have not been help
ed by the Nasser revolutionary
government.
What has happened to all of the
money which Nasser has amassed
for his program? 1t has all gone
into the military, for his main
purpose has been to create a ma
chine powerful machine -
which is obviously intended to de-
stroy Israel and to become the
powerful leader of the Arabic
world.
If Egypt's political leader acted
with wisdom, he would send the
best of his collaborators to Israel
to investigate how it could be pos
sible to transform this ravaged,
barren semi-desert land into real
productivity without the dreadful
poverty and squalor which marks
and mars Egypt.
1t is sad and tragic that Nasser
G al n is lifting his power to
threaten Israel and to create fur
ther unrest in the Middle East.
The irony is that the United
States government has sent over
$500 million in aid to NaSser's
regime = thereby allowing Nasser

SobIen Case
S+irs Hostile
Reactions

JERUSALEM (JTA) - Leaders
here hope that by the time these
lines reach the reader the prob
lem of how to handle the case of
DR.. Robert A. Soblen will have
reached a solution and way found
out of the legal difficulties and
technicalities in which it had be-
come deadlocked.
The most discouraging by-prod-
uct of this unfortunate affair was
the hostile reaction, directed at Is
rael, it evoked in some sections of
the American public, topped by the
proposal of Rep. Walter in the US.
Congress to impose sanctions
against Ell AL.
A DISPASSIONATE look a t
events shows that Israel has gone
out of it's way toward enabling the
U.S.A. to get Soblen back. It was
only a few days after Soblen'S ap-
prehension here that the decision
for his expulsion was taken by the
government, and though no extra
dition agreement exists between
Israel and the U.S.A., an Ameri-
can marshal was aboard the FL Al
plane which took Soblen out of
Israel. Were it not for the fact
that the us. marshal fell asleep,
and thus left Soblen unattended,
enabling his suicide attempt, the
whole matter would by now have
been forgotten = except, perhaps,
for internal criticism against the
Israel government for eXpediting
Soblen's expulsion.
WHAT FOLLOWED was that
Britain, which has an eXtradition
agreement with the U.S.A., wanted
Israel to become her agent for
Soblen's extradition.
"The action which Britain re-
quested of Israel would have been
obviously contrary to Israel law"
the Israeli Foreign Affairs Minis
try said.
"It must be pointed out that at
no stage did the United States ask
Israel for action in violation of
Israel law.
Israel will not provide asylum
for criminals; Soblen was not only
refused permission to stay in Is
rael, but his subsequent application
from London to be admitted to Is
raeI, under the Law of Return, was
rejected by the government of Is
rael."
