When a book of this type forces Its publishers (Doubleday & Co.) into a third printing before the first one Is off tho press, that's news! Add to that the fact that less than two weeks after its re¬ lease last month. It became a natloi^ best seller, and you can see why It long ago convinced the publishers that they had po¬ tentially one of tho most contro¬ versial—most discussed—most cov¬ eted books of ieS6. •   CROSS CURRENTS Is based on
a four-year Investigation by ADU directed by Mr. Forster, of political antl-SemltIsm In the United Statea, In Germany, and In the Middle East. In one section, the authors reveal the source and motivation of the antl-Semltlc campaigns or¬ ganized by a lunatic fringe agalnsf the President These reached their peak during the last presidential conventions and are likely to or- rupt again with equal frenzy now that Mr. Elsenhower has announc¬ ed his availability  for    a    second
term.
A section on the Middle East documents the w«ll-heeled and carefully organized ant 1-Jewlsh propaganda campaign stimulated in the United States by Arab Lea¬ gue diplomats to destroy Ameri¬ can sympathy for Israel. In Its probing of West Germany, CROSS CURRB»ITS reveals the Internat¬ ional tie-up between the Neo-Nazi underground movement there and similar groups In the United States, Great Britain and South America.
The above are some ol the areas which Mr. Porster will highlight In his   major  address   here  A)>ril   17.
