Condemnation Of Anti-Semitism Urged
UNITED NATIONS, (WUP) — A special article against anti-Semitism to be incorporated into the UN International Con¬ vention against racial discrimination appears as a probability, according to a position taken here by the United States in the Human Rights Commission.
The challenge was first boldly raised before the Commission by Dr. Isaac Lewin of the Agudas Israel World Organization, an accredited   UN    non-governmental
body representing Orthodox Jewry in some 23 countries. The 21-nation Cranmission is currenUy fine-comb¬ ing a draft on discrimination pre¬ pared by the ' Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination.
Tracing the 2000-year prejudice, Dr. Lewin told the Comrhission that "in modern times it was the Ger¬ mans who had been the bitterest foes (rf the Jewish pec^les" from King Frederick IV in 184rto the Nazi racists who instituted the "citizenship" laws by which the "harrenfolk" slaughtered six mil¬ lion Jews.
Dr. Lewin recalled that in the swastika smears of late 1959 and early 1960 the Commission had adopted a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and that there were two arguments justifying its in¬ corporation into a document of world law. First, this prejudice shaded legal formulas. Second, the Jewish peoples were ^-'!"-r'—30 years after the adv^t of Nazism and five years after its recent re¬ vival—"to an unambiguous con¬ demnation of anti-Semitism in an international convention." Further¬ more, Dr. Lewin pointed out, the article which deals with condemna¬ tion   does    mention    apartheid,
OUTSTANDING GUEST SPEAKERS PRESENT AT HILLEL FORUMS
The B.'nai B'rith Hillel Founda¬ tion is announcing an outstanding series of Sunday Forum speakers for  the  spring  quarter.
The Forum for Sunday evening, April 5, will present Dr. Howard Sachar, of Brandeis University, who is the Director of the Jacob Hiatt Institute opened in Israel under the auspices of Brandeis University. Dr. Sachar is a well knovvn iiistorian and lecturer. He will speak here on the subject "The Lesson of Modem Jewish History."
On Sunday evening, AprU 12, Maurice Samuel, internationally known author, lecturer, and trans¬ lator, will be the guest speaker. His subject is ''The Image of the Jew in Modem Literature."
Dr. Max Kapustln, Director of the Hillel Foundation at Wayne University in Detroit, will be the speaker on Sunday evening, April 19. He will discuss "The Deputy- Fact, Libel or Fiction." Dr. Ka¬ pustln, who was formerly a rabbi in Germany, has an intimate know¬ ledge of the circumstances and sub¬ jects discussed in this controversial play.
On Wednesday evening, April 22, Hillel will present a special lecture by Pastor Paul Borchsenius, of Den¬ mark. Pastor Borchsenius was one of the heroes of the resistance movement in Denmark during the Nazi period. He was instrumental in rescuing many Jews from the Nazis aod is mentioned in many "volumes describing that period in contemporary history. This lecture will be one of the outstanding in¬ terfaith programs on the campus. Hillel will have as its guests that ' evening studpnts and leaders from the Various religious groups on the campus.
All the programs are open to the public without charge except the lecture by Maurice Samuel, for which there will be an admission charge of $1. Tickets will be avail¬ able without charge, however, to students of Hillel and to Hillel Pa¬ trons,
which is a particular type of dis¬ crimination in South Africa, and thus opens the provision for sing¬ ling out anti-Semitism as well.
Austria, Ecuador, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Canada, Liberia and Denmark at once came to the sup¬ port of his proposal, as raised by the United States, to outlaw the anti-Semitic scourge once and for all time.
However, the majority felt that they could not include the specific mention of this special kind of pre-

SABBATH SERVICES WILL BE DEVOTED TO UJFC CAMPAIGN
The synagogues and temples of Columbus are devoting their Sab¬ bath services on March 20 and 21 to the United Jewish Fund and Council campaign. This annual practice has had the enthusiastic support and encouragement of our rabbis and congregational leaders.
The work of the United Jewish Fund and Council, and the vital needs that must be met locally and internationally will be highlighted in either the Friday night or Satur¬ day morning sermon in each con¬ gregation. The rabbis, as well as campaign leaders, will participate.
A total community effort is neces¬ sary for the success of the local campaign. It is hoped that this community-wide Sabbath service will further unite and strengthen the efforts in meeting the needs of 1964.
