, WASfflNGTON, (JTA) - Philadelphia's five-man Congressional delegation has protested Federal participation in an Arkansas . road project which it charges will serve a religious tourist attraction opef-ated by a' front organization of Gerald L. K. Smith.
In a'letter to Secretary of Transportation John A. Volpe, the Congressmen urged that fUnds for the project be denied. Signing the letter were Reps. - Williain A. Barrett, Bobert N. C. Nix, James A. Byrne, Joshua Filberg and William J. Green, all Democrats.
Hie Cdngressmen chaiiged that ."use of Federal, funds for ttiis project will make the Federal government a partner in the promotion of hate ^ongering and anti- Semitism." "Federal aid inograms were not designed for purposes such as ttiese," th^ added.
"Hie tourist attraction at Eureka l^prings, a seven-, story statue called "Christ of the Ozarks" and the Passion |——Play, are operated by the Elna M. Smith Foundation. In their letter, they referred to a report by the National Jewish Community Relations Council which diaracterizses the play as an "anti-Semitic tract, the whole theme of which is that Jews are guilty of deicide."
"Centuries of prejudice, hate ahd bloodletting have flowed from that loathsome cant," the five Congressmen asserted, "and it is hardly the appropriate busmess.of ~ the UnitfNl States govern¬ ment to assist its continued pnpagation."

cancellation of the Sisco visit as a major political victory over the United States.
Some observers believe that the commando movement that has paralyzed any peace moves Iqr King Hussein could also prevent President Nasser from reaching a peaceful "' settiement with Israel should he ever indicate such a desire. The Sisco affair has .brought the first hints of public Palestinian criticism of Nasser. ^
¦The guerrilla command in Amiilan . referred to "capitals so eager to have a political settlement," an apparent reference to Cairo wrihere BIr. Sisco spent four days in talks with Egyptian leaders. The commando position is that there can be no peace with Israel and that' the Israeli state must be liquidated. One guerrilla ^ spokesman warned last week that any Arab government leader. who moves toward peace with Israd will be signing his own death warrant.
