In Tucson, a narration to an Easter symphony, which of¬ fended many Jewish patrons at its first performance by the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, has been resolved with the orchestra management.
The symphony was entitled "The Way of the Cross," an original work by Camil Van Hulse.

Maiiy complaints were received by the Anti-Defamation League-Community Relations Committee of the Tucson Jewish Community Council, according to its chairman, Stanley Feldman.
In Jerusalem, the dedication took place of the School of Archaeology of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish In.'Jti- tute of Religion. The dedication ceremony marked the in¬ auguration of the school's academic activities.

ers — did not mention the Soviet Union by name, in accordance with the UN rules, when he spoke before the Social Committee of the ECOSOC in the debate on further¬ ing human rights.
He said, "One should not be afraid to call a spade. a spade or to call anti-Semitism just that. I am referring especially to the most disturbing situation in one major European country which claims that its constitution and its basic social philosophy precludes mani¬ festations of discrimination and of anti-Semitism. One would hope in¬ deed that enlightened constitutions and philosopliie.s should have this effect, but alas, for the people at fected it is not constitutions or philo- soptiies which matter, as long as they experience intolerable discrimi¬ nation in daily life and practice."
POINTING OUT that he speaks of a country where there are 3 million Jews, the Israeli representa¬ tive said that these Jews "suffer both as a group and as individuals." They are being denied, he stated, equality in the administration of justice, freedom to leave their coun¬ try, and religious freedom.-
"This community," Mr. Bartur continued, "is connected through family ties to many other Jewish communities throughout the World. There are few Jewish families in Israel or in the United*States who

do not have a relative in the coun¬ try referred to. They are almost completely cut off, not only from their own rich past, not only pre¬ vented from sharing in the cultural and religious Jewish activities abroad but likewise from their flesh and blood. They are not in a position to communicate with their relatives abroad."
HE CITED the official and total ban on the teaching of Hebrew, and said that Jewish places of worship "are cdnstanUy shut down, prayer- books are not available, ritual re¬ quirements — like unleavened bread for Passover — are denied to them. This attitude creates a climate of virulant anti-Semitism accompanied by campaigns in the official press of that country."
Appealing to the conscience of the world, the Israeli representative said, "In spite of the natural de¬ sire to avoid unpleasant subjects where powerful political forces are concerned, the limitations describ¬ ed are so disturbing that it would mean a failure in moral duty and responsibility to belittle its grave character. We trust that the United Nations, through its Commission on Human Rights, will respond to the urgent and grave natures of this problem with the greatest speed to help restore the rights aspirations of a great and isolated community."
